Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a heat exchange device, a fuel cell system and a temperature control method thereof.
Background
In order to improve the performance of a fuel cell system, improve the utilization rate of hydrogen and improve the water balance of the system, an anode reflux system is adopted in the fuel cell system, namely, the reaction gas of the anode hydrogen of the fuel cell is excessively supplied to an electric pile, part of hydrogen is consumed by the electrochemical reaction of the electric pile, the rest hydrogen and reaction products are mixed and discharged out of the electric pile, the discharged mixture is driven to reflux by a driving device (a hydrogen circulating pump or an ejector), and is mixed with the newly supplied hydrogen before the inlet of the anode of the electric pile to enter the electric pile again.
First, to improve the performance of the fuel cell system, the anode-in-stack mixture needs to be controlled within a suitable temperature range. However, in fuel cell anode return systems, the stack mixture temperature is typically 60-90 degrees, significantly higher than ambient temperature. The anode stack-out mixture can dissipate heat to the environment through the wall in the flowing process of the return circuit, and the temperature is gradually reduced. The fresh hydrogen is supplied from a hydrogen bottle, and the supply temperature is close to the ambient temperature. The temperature will further decrease when the reflux mixture is mixed with fresh supply hydrogen. Particularly, under the condition of cold-state environmental operation in winter, the environmental temperature is low, and the heat dissipation capacity of the wall surface to the environment is large; the temperature of the fresh hydrogen in the hydrogen bottle is low, and the temperature is further reduced after the fresh hydrogen is mixed with the backflow hydrogen.
Second, excessive condensation of liquid water is avoided in the fuel cell anode stack mixture. The fuel cell stack is formed by stacking hundreds of single-chip units, each single-chip unit comprises a plurality of airflow micro-channels, the density difference between gas phases and liquid phases of water is large, the content of liquid water directly influences the flowing state of gas in a fuel cell system channel, and the gas transmission channel can be blocked under the condition of serious liquid water accumulation to influence the normal operation of the system. Liquid water in fuel cell anode stack mixtures can be generated for a number of reasons, for example: liquid water drops in the piled mixture are well separated in a gas-liquid separation structure or a device at the anode outlet of the galvanic pile, but the situation that downstream gaseous water vapor is pre-cooled in a return pipeline and condensed into liquid water again is difficult to avoid; the pressure of the hydrogen side of the fuel cell system is instantaneously adjusted according to the operation condition, the pressure of different positions of the hydrogen side is different, and liquid water can be generated; when the temperature of the reflux mixture is reduced after mixing with the fresh supply of hydrogen, liquid condensate will also separate out. Particularly, in the low-temperature environment and the starting and warming process of the fuel cell system, the phenomenon of water vapor condensation is more prominent, and the normal operation of the system is influenced under severe conditions.
In the prior art, the technical scheme aiming at the problem of piling of the anode condensed liquid water is mainly two: the first scheme is that a water dividing structure is arranged before the hydrogen reflux system enters the reactor, and the water dividing structure is arranged before the hydrogen reflux system enters the reactor to separate condensed water generated at the upstream and prevent the condensed water from entering the reactor. The disadvantage of this kind of scheme is that the drainage structures need to be set up to the structure that divides water, and drainage structures has the risk of freezing, freezing especially under low temperature environment. The second scheme is that a water diversion structure is arranged in a water diversion reactor, and in order to relieve the influence of liquid water after entering the galvanic pile, a bypass unit is additionally arranged in the galvanic pile in patents US7163760B2 and US2018/0342744A1, and the liquid water is diverted. The hydrogen bypass unit is additionally arranged on the inner side of the galvanic pile close to the end plate, and a circulation channel for communicating a hydrogen inlet cavity with a hydrogen outlet cavity is arranged in the bypass unit. After the hydrogen side reactor entering mixture enters the reactor, the mixture firstly flows through the bypass unit, and part of liquid water entering the reactor flows to the hydrogen outlet cavity through the bypass channel to be discharged out of the reactor, so that the risk of liquid water entering a normal reaction unit at the downstream of the bypass unit is reduced. However, the addition of the bypass unit in the scheme can increase the length of the stack, affect the internal sealing reliability and the contact pressure distribution of the stack, and even relate to the overall performance of the stack. The scheme has more implementation influence variables and large adaptation and adjustment difficulty.
However, in the prior art, the related art for the temperature control of the anode mixture involves little.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a heat exchange device and a fuel cell system to solve the above-mentioned problem of liquid water entering into a stack due to a large amount of condensed liquid water generated due to poor temperature control.
