Description

A kind of recirculating system of the cathode exhaust gas for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Technical field
The utility model relates to the air system of a proton exchanging film fuel battery, and particularly a kind of advanced Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells air system of introducing the cathode exhaust gas recirculating technique, belong to the new-energy automobile technical field.
Background technology
Proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cell (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell is called for short PEMFC) advantage high with its efficiency, zero discharge especially is subject to people's favor.Fuel cell generation is a kind of electrochemical appliance, and chemical energy directly is converted to electric energy, and its conversion process of energy is not limited by Carnot cycle, and theoretical efficiency is higher.The fuel of its consumption is hydrogen, and product is water, and noxious emission is zero, is one of the most clean energy.Therefore fuel cell generation can be used in the fields such as stand-by station, electric automobile and portable power source.
Fuel cell generation comprises several chief components, as shown in Figure 1, fuel cell pile is its core, and the pile periphery has also comprised the accessory systems such as hydrogen system, air system, humidification system, cooling system, power range system and control system.Hydrogen system mainly is responsible for pile the hydrogen supply is provided, and need to regulate Hydrogen Vapor Pressure and the flow that enters pile according to operating condition; Air system is to be air for pile provides appropriate oxidant, need to enter according to regulating working conditions temperature, pressure and the flow of the air of pile; Humidification system be the humidity of the air in order to guarantee to enter pile in certain limit, overdrying and cross and wet proton exchange membrane and pile are had to adverse influence, therefore need to carry out humidity control to the air that enters pile; Cooling system makes stack temperature keep proper level by the mode of circulate coolant, guarantees the reliable and stable work of pile; Power range system is to regulate the output voltage of pile and size and the rate of change of electric current by the DC/DC device; Control system is whole fuel cell generation " brain ", and the subsystems by it to the pile periphery is optimized control, makes pile in optimum Working, guarantees the operation of pile long time stability.
A kind of typical fuel battery air system partly is comprised of air compressor machine, radiator, humidifier, condenser etc., as shown in Figure 1.Surrounding air enters radiator after compressing via air compressor machine, laggardly enter humidifier and carry out humidification by radiator is cooling, enter pile after humidification and carry out electrochemical reaction, the oxygen meeting of cathode side and from the hydrogen ion generation chemical reaction of anode, produce water (gaseous state or liquid state) in the output electric energy, and major part is gone out by the cathode air effluent, therefore participating in reacted cathode air oxygen content descends, water content (humidity) increases, at the pile outlet air, after condenser reclaims moisture, by flow control valve 2, enter in environment.This air system can be controlled air mass flow and the air pressure that enters pile by the coordination of air compressor machine, flow control valve 1 and 2, can adjust inlet temperature by radiator, by humidifier, controls ambient humidity.
Known according to operation principle and the characteristic of property of PEMFC, enter the total amount of oxygen in the air of pile and participate in the amount of oxygen of reaction, be referred to as excess coefficient or equivalent proportion, the equivalent proportion of general vehicle fuel battery is between 1.5 ~ 3.Obviously, enter the relation that the air mass flow of pile and excess coefficient and air total amount are couplings, will be changed to variation along with the power output of fuel cell generation.Simultaneously, the water (gaseous state or liquid state) generated due to the pile internal-response needs to take out of through the cathode reaction passage, if the aqueous water generated is got rid of not in time, the water generated can hinder runner, be so-called water logging phenomenon, cause Performance data to descend, affect the use of fuel cell.In order to improve drainability, the flow of needs raising air or flow velocity are in order to blow down smoothly aqueous water.When idling or little load, because the water yield generated is less than normal, if keep larger air mass flow always, easily runner and Surface modification of proton exchange membrane water are all dried up, cause the film overdrying and hydraulic performance decline; If keep less air mass flow always, be not easy to blow away the aqueous water in runner and cause water logging.Therefore when idling or little load, the air inlet total amount can not reduce always, also just cause amount of oxygen or equivalent proportion not to reduce, often excess coefficient remains on higher level always, fuel battery voltage higher (0.9V ~ 1.2V) when this also just causes idling or little load.And correlative study shows, higher operating voltage (0.9V ~ 1.2V) is totally unfavorable to fuel battery service life.Research shows, under idling or small load condition, if reduce the equivalent proportion of oxygen, can effectively reduce fuel cell output voltage, thereby guarantees the useful life of fuel cell.
When how to make negative electrode there is higher gas pressure and flow, guarantee that again its temperature and humidity is in OK range, the content (dividing potential drop) that also will guarantee oxygen wherein is lower, make the output voltage of fuel cell remain at low levels, the durability that is conducive to fuel cell is a challenge of air system design.In current fuel battery air system as shown in Figure 1, do not adjust respectively the ability of total air pressure and oxygen content.
Because the cathode reactant of vehicle fuel battery is from the air in atmosphere, and the humidity and temperature condition of atmosphere is with latitude, height above sea level and season etc. changing widely different, hot and humid (approaching 100% relative humidity) may occur, high temperature low humidity (approaching 0% relative humidity) also may occur.The another one shortcoming of air system as shown in Figure 1 is, can not meet the ability that the temperature and humidity of fuel cell under extreme condition of work adjusted flexibly: under high temperature low humidity operational environment, if the fuel cell long-term work is in idling with small load condition is next easily occurs that film is dry; Under hot and humid operational environment, if fuel cell long-term work high load working condition is next water logging easily appears.
The another one shortcoming of air system as shown in Figure 1 is, after shutdown, the oxygen in whole air system pipeline can't eliminate, and when fuel cell is standing, the air system pipeline is in the oxygen enrichment state.After anode hydrogen gas is cut off, along with the increase of time of repose, the oxygen of cathode side after progressively the hydrogen consumption of anode is complete, can further see through proton exchange membrane and enter anode, makes anode also in the oxygen enrichment state.This oxygen enrichment state can accelerate the decline of pile, makes fuel battery service life significantly shorten.
The another one shortcoming of air system as shown in Figure 1 is, in order to guarantee the functions such as pile draining, need to enter from the more air of atmosphere pile, and owing to there being the impurity such as particulate and sulphur in atmosphere, these impurity will be accelerated the decay of pile; Therefore need special machinery and chemical filter to carry out these impurity of filtering; The air mass flow strengthened, mean that the volume of machinery and chemical filter and cost increase, or accelerate the decay of its useful life.

Embodiment
As shown in Figure 2, its work characteristics is as described below for the fuel battery air system of exhaust gas recirculatioon described in the utility model.
(1) recirculation circuit: the gas that will be discharged by the pile cathode outlet with an exhaust gas recycling loop is incorporated into the inlet circuit of pile again; Scheme as shown in Figure 2, for parts 11(pile body) large (the high pressure pile of operating pressure, for example the maximum working pressure of pile is greater than 1.5bar) scheme, recirculation circuit (being control valve V6 containing pipeline and parts 15) can be arranged in to parts 3(air compressor machine) before; Whole air system can be installed necessary temperature, pressure and relative humidity sensor as required, detects respectively atmosphere, parts 3(air compressor machine) outlet, parts 11(pile body) entrance and exit and parts 15(control valve V6) gaseous state before entrance.
(2) temperature of air loop is controlled: as shown in Figure 2, in order to control flexibly through the gas temperature after compressor, disposed parts 4(control valve V2 before radiator) and parts 5(control valve V3), can flexible allocation the flow through gas flow of radiator, realize entering parts 11(pile body) the closed-loop control of cathode gas temperature; The function of flow control valve V2 and V3 also can be replaced by a triple valve.
(3) humidity of air loop is controlled: as shown in Figure 2, in order to control flexibly the gas humidity that enters pile, disposed parts 7(control valve V4 before humidifier) and parts 8(bypass flow control valve V5), thereby the gas flow of the humidifier of can flexible allocation flowing through, realize entering parts 11(pile body) the humidity of cathode gas; The function of flow control valve V4 and V5 also can be replaced by a triple valve.
(4) oxygen content regulation mechanism: in accompanying drawing 2, on exhaust gas recycling loop, be provided with parts 15(control valve V6), respectively with parts 2(control valve V1 on the air intlet loop) and outlet loop on parts 16(control valve V7) coordinate, realize the volumetric flow of gas of flexible allocation recirculation and the ratio of oxygen components, thereby reach the purpose of total gas couette, total pressure and oxygen partial pressure that flexible adjustment enters pile.
For example: when parts 11(pile body) under rated output (large load) condition of work, parts 2(control valve V1) standard-sized sheet, parts 15(control valve V6) complete shut-down, at this moment exhaust gas recirculatioon ratio is zero, enter parts 11(pile body) be all fresh air (oxygen content is the oxygen content in local atmosphere), support the large load operation of pile; Now the operating pressure of air and total flow can be by parts 3(compressor or air fan 1) and parts 16(control valve V7) coordinated.
When pile progressively reduces power, because required oxygen flow is corresponding, reduce, can be by parts 2(control valve V1) aperture progressively open little, the aperture of parts 15 (control valve V6) progressively becomes large, thereby progressively improve the ratio of exhaust gas recirculatioon, its effect is that oxygen flow reduces, and enters parts 11(pile body) total gas couette and pressure adjustable; Regulate the aperture of V1, V6 and V7 by control system, just can realize entering the independent of total gas flow rate, total pressure and oxygen partial pressure (flow) of pile and control, thereby realize the output voltage (affected by the dividing potential drop of oxygen) of pile and the decoupling zero control of pile draining (total flow and total pressure).
(5) oxygen content ratio oxygen content closed-loop control: in order accurately to control and to enter parts 11(pile body), can be on the inlet circuit of air, being provided with parts 1 is air flow sensor, can survey the fresh air flow that the parts 2 of flowing through are control valve V1; On the air outlet slit loop of pile, being provided with parts 14 is that lambda sensor is with the oxygen content in the actual measurement exhaust; Combined control stream is the gas flow of control valve V6 through parts 15, can realize that the closed loop feedback of the oxygen content of whole air loop is controlled; Also can be without lambda sensor, but the power efficiency of fuel cell is estimated the amount of oxygen that the pile internal-response consumes, thereby can be estimated remaining amount of oxygen in exhaust; Realize oxygen content state estimation and the closed-loop control of Physical modeling based.
(6) shut down control procedure: as parts 2(control valve V1) and parts 16(control valve V7) complete shut-down and parts 15(control valve V6) under the condition of standard-sized sheet, the ratio that reaches exhaust gas recirculatioon is 100%, at this moment because exhaust Multiple through then out recirculation circuit enters parts 11(pile body), oxygen is wherein fallen by step-reaction, therefore the oxygen content in whole exhaust progressively reduces, until be zero, reaction stops, and pile enters nonreactive nature; At this moment the gas componant of whole cathode side mainly comprises steam and nitrogen, there is no oxygen, and the reaction nature stops, and pile is output HIGH voltage no longer, thereby can naturally shut down to protect durability and the life-span of pile; Now air compressor machine and recirculation circuit coordinate, and still can produce gas flow and the pressure of expectation, aqueous water remaining in pile can be discharged, and guarantee after shutdown that can there be a freeze damage of caused pile of water pile inside under cryogenic conditions due to residual.
After considering shutdown, actuator, in off-position, can be designed to normally close valve by the control valve V1 and the V7 that connect atmosphere, automatically shuts down after outage with the connection of atmosphere and gets final product.
(7) idling is controlled with little load process: idling is controlled similar to above-mentioned stopping process with little load process, parts 2(control valve V1 just) and parts 16(control valve V7) can complete shut-down not dead, but keep suitable aperture according to power demand, the gas and the peripheral atmosphere that ensure suitable flow are exchanged, and parts 15(control valve V6) can keep than wide-angle, passing in and out parts 11(pile body) inner flow keeps larger, at this moment oxygen concentration can be adjusted flexibly between 0% ~ 20%, guarantee that fuel cell output voltage and power all remain at low levels, high voltage while having avoided idling and little load occurs, by air compressor machine or fan (parts 3 in accompanying drawing 2), drive the gas flow of recirculation to guarantee to get rid of the aqueous water that long-play generates simultaneously, thereby avoided parts 11(pile body) problem of the easy water logging of long-term little load operation, by adjustment component 7(control valve V4) and parts 8(control valve V5) aperture, the air capacity of control and participate in humidification, can avoid again the dry problem of pile film under idling and little loading condiction flexibly.Above-mentioned under idling and sub-load condition, regulating action by exhaust gas recycling loop, can guarantee with the gas flow of peripheral atmosphere exchange less, namely reduced the amount of fresh air entered from mechanical and chemical filter, improve the service efficiency of machinery and chemical filter, can effectively extend its useful life.
(8) stop and deposit in process; can be by parts 2(control valve V1) and parts 16(control valve V7) be set to the normally closed state that cuts off the power supply; owing to shutting down back part 11(pile body) and recirculating line in gas componant be mainly nitrogen and steam does not have oxygen; therefore only have nitrogen can penetrate proton exchange membrane and enter anode; the situation that oxygen enters anode-side generation chemical corrosion reaction can not occur, and can guarantee that the vehicle long storage time lacks the performance of not damaging pile.
(9) the low temperature cold machine starts fast: under cryogenic conditions, now can be by parts 4(control valve V2) and parts 7(control valve V4) close, by parts 5(control valve V3) and parts 8(control valve V5) standard-sized sheet, can pass through recirculation circuit (parts 15, control valve V6) and the air driven parts, parts 3 air compressor machines in accompanying drawing 2, because air compressor machine or fan itself have the air pressurized heating function, perhaps coordinate special air heating apparatus (not shown in FIG.), can will enter parts 11(pile body) air be heated rapidly to above zero, make whole air system be rapidly heated, thereby guarantee that electrochemical reaction can occur smoothly in pile inside, the heat that recycling pile self is produced is further accelerated cold machine start-up course.Treat that temperature reaches certain value (warming-up success) afterwards, just start heat exchange and humidification process with radiator and humidifier, thereby can greatly shorten the warming-up process of fuel cell system.

Surrounding air humidity hour, the 7(vacuum valve V4 of humidifier 9 porch) standard-sized sheet, and the 8(vacuum valve V5 on its bypass circulation) close, gas all carries out humidification by humidifier 9, makes ambient humidity can meet the pile requirement.And, when surrounding air humidity is larger, vacuum valve V5 on humidifier 9 bypass circulations opens, control accordingly electromagnetically operated valve K4, K5 controls that cooperatively interacts, the aperture of vacuum valve V4 and vacuum valve V5 is coordinated mutually, adjustment enters the gas flow of humidifier 9.Ambient humidity is larger, and the gas flow ratio of humidifier 9 bypass circulations of flowing through is larger.Thereby the gas humidity to 11 pile body porch is adjusted, make it the suitable pile that enters.
Idling/little load: under idling or small load condition, except the bypass circulation in parallel with radiator 6 and humidifier 9 and vacuum valve V2-V5 play a role, even more important is cooperatively interacting of vacuum valve V1, V6, V7 aperture.
Under idling or small load condition, operation of fuel cells is less at electric current, under the higher state of voltage, is unfavorable for the prolongation in its useful life.The effective way that now reduces voltage is the concept that adopts concentration overvoltage, reduces the excess coefficient of oxygen.A kind of way reduces air compressor machine power exactly, reduces the air inlet total amount.The method makes air inlet total amount and voltage drop degree hook, and the air inlet total amount is received restriction, and, owing to having reduced gas gross, makes gas carry the moisture ability and descend, and easily causes the water logging phenomenon of pile.For avoiding this phenomenon, the present invention has introduced gas recirculation system in the fuel battery air system, can be in the situation that do not reduce the air inlet total amount, effectively reduce the excess coefficient of oxygen, reach the purpose of fuel cell voltage, the total amount of air inlet simultaneously is still controlled, not limited by the voltage drop degree.
When idling voltage is higher, for the vacuum valve V6 that controls EGR, to open, the low waste gas of drying, oxygen content of being discharged by condenser 12 outlets reenters in admission line.The aperture of vacuum valve V6 is larger, the aperture of vacuum valve V7 is less, and the ratio that waste gas reenters in admission line is larger, and the waste gas ratio of discharge is less, thereby the contribution that oxygen content in air inlet is reduced is just larger.This ratio will constantly be adjusted, until voltage is limited in below 0.8V.
Shut down: the key in stopping process is to remove oxygen residual in pile.The bypass circulation of radiator 6 and humidifier 9 parallel connections, vacuum valve V2-V5 normally plays a role.And vacuum valve V1 and V7 close gradually, vacuum valve V6 opens, and forms closed circulation, and waste gas flows back and forth in whole air system, until oxygen expenditure is totally shut down afterwards.Now, nitrogen and little water steam are only arranged in the fuel cell system air loop, can think and be full of inert gas, eliminated the effect of the corrosion of oxygen pile in process is deposited in the fuel cell shutdown, can effectively extend the pile life-span.
