Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrochemical arrangement, such as a fuel cell arrangement, an electrolyzer or an electrochemical compressor, according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a fuel cell arrangement in the sense of this patent application typically contains a first and a second bipolar plate, between which the actual fuel cell, often in the form of an MEA (membrane electrode assembly), is arranged.
- MEA membrane electrode assembly
- distribution structures are often used, which are designed as channels.
- Channel-like structures or partial stamps can also be used as distribution structures, which can serve to introduce and homogeneously distribute the reactants or the cooling medium. These are often placed in the fuel cell bipolar plate.
- a fundamental disadvantage of fuel cell systems which essentially consist of arrangements of bipolar plates, MEA and possibly further layers, is that even with a very small dimensional deviation of these layer components, there is sufficient contact and contact pressure from layer component to layer -Build is not reliably guaranteed.
- the force of the contact pressure is usually introduced selectively into each of the two-dimensional arrangements, with the result that a systematically uneven force distribution in the area of the active surface of the respective one of the arrangements occurs.
- the resulting disadvantageous effect manifests itself in particular in an increased electrical internal resistance of the fuel cell and a significant drop in performance.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an electrochemical arrangement such as a fuel cell arrangement, an electrolyzer or an electrochemical compressor with at least one distribution structure for introducing and distributing a reactant, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular by the Reliable provision of sufficient and homogeneously distributed contact pressure to ensure a high current flow without significant losses.
- the distribution structure is essentially guided in one plane and is elastic in a controlled manner against pressure loads perpendicular to this plane has resulted in a constructive, and thus a technically particularly robust, universal and low-effort solution for producing sufficient and homogeneously distributed contact forces of the layer component to layer component found within the active areas of an electrochemical device, such as a fuel cell device, an electrolyzer, or an electrochemical compressor.
- an electrochemical device such as a fuel cell device, an electrolyzer, or an electrochemical compressor.
- the distribution structure is formed by resilient boundary walls for fluid guidance.
- the spring-elastic distribution structures which are located within the layer composite are at least partially compressed.
- these resilient distribution structures take on the function of elastic elements within the electrochemical arrangement and thus ensure a homogeneous distribution of the contact pressure of the layers of the electrochemical arrangement to one another, which remains guaranteed over the entire life of the electrochemical arrangement, since the components of the electrochemical arrangement also settle Arrangement is compensated by these elastic distributor structures acting as spring-elastic elements. In this way, a
- such a spring-elastic distribution structure In addition to the function as a spring-elastic element, such a spring-elastic distribution structure also takes on the function of uniform distribution the media within the active area of the electrochemical array. In this way, the bundling of properties avoids additional design effort and thus technically simplifies production.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides for the resilient distribution structures in the layered composite of the fuel cell arrangement to be implemented as a spatially structured layer within this composite. This not only considerably simplifies the production of the distribution structures, since the resilient “distribution layer” can be formed from a single piece, but it also has the advantage that, at the same time, the tightness of the distribution structures against uncontrolled escape of the reactant after the outer layers of the fuel cell arrangement is prevented and at the same time the supply of the active areas of the fuel cell with the reactants takes place in a particularly uncomplicated manner.
- this surface pressure is produced by tensioning elements, since the tensioning elements introduce the force at certain points into the fuel line arrangement and this selective introduction of force is converted into a homogeneous contact pressure, in particular by the spring-elastic distribution structures.
- the fuel cell arrangement is advantageously designed in such a way that the distribution structure runs continuously from its entrance to its exit, then a solution with little construction effort is proposed, wherein several distribution structures can also form an overall distribution level.
- FIG. 1b shows the fuel cell arrangement shown in FIG. 1a in the assembled state
- Ic a fuel cell stack from a variety number of stacked fuel cell assemblies, as shown in Fig. Ib,
- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a flexible reactant distribution structure in the form of a structured layer in spatial cross section
- FIGS. 3 to 7 variations of spring-elastic distribution structures designed as a structured layer
- FIGS. 9 + 10 examples of layers according to the invention
- 11 is a diagram of the spring rate.
- the representation of the fuel line arrangement 14, together with the following explanations of the exemplary embodiment, serves as a representative example for all electrochemical arrangements described at the outset, as well as electrolysers or electrochemical compressors.
- FIG. 1 a shows the structure of a fuel cell arrangement 14 as shown in FIG. 1 b.
- a plurality of fuel cell arrangements 14 form the layered area of a fuel cell stack 15 in FIG. 1c arranged between end plates. This is held together by clamping elements in surface pressure, for example by clamping bolts or clamping straps.
- each bipolar plate of the fuel cell shows resilient channels (9) for introducing and distributing reactants into the active surface IIa of the fuel cell 11, in the present case schematically as a black surface ⁇ IIa.
- the electrochemically active area of the fuel cells is arranged in an essentially closed space which is essentially delimited laterally by sealing elements 13.
- the schematically illustrated distributor structure 9, which in the present case represents the spring-elastic distribution structures as an embodiment of the invention, can be designed as a structured layer, the cross section of which is shown in FIGS. 2 to 7 and which, according to FIG. 8, forms a channel serpentine course along the plate 10 (ie perpendicular to the stack direction 6) of the fuel cell assembly 14.
- the distribution structures can be designed as individual channels that open up the plane of the active surface as meanders, as well as double or multiple channels that run in a meandering manner.
- the distribution structures be designed as stamps or posts that open up the level of the active surface or as a channel-like structure that connects the entrance and exit directly or with one or more branches by a suitable type.
- the materials of the distributor structures can also be less elastic materials such as certain metals (e.g. aluminum, titanium) or also electrically conductive plastic, porous and electrically conductive fleece or fabric, as well as electrically conductive ceramics. In these cases, the necessary elasticity comes from an elastic cooling plate.
- FIG. 2 shows a spatially represented cross section through a resilient distribution structure 1, which has an essentially trapezoidal cross section and is delimited on one side by an end face (that is, a surface parallel to the plane of the course of the distribution structure) 2 and side walls 3.
- an end face that is, a surface parallel to the plane of the course of the distribution structure
- side walls 3 3.
- the complementary intermediate space 1 ′ can also be used as a distribution structure for transporting a medium.
- the surface 2 'along the plane of the base surface of the structured layer then forms the complementary "end wall" 2'.
- FIGS. Ia and Ib Layer in a layer composite of a fuel cell arrangement as shown in FIGS. Ia and Ib is shown.
- both the end face 2 and the side wall 3 are resiliently deformed when a vertical pressure load is exerted.
- the elasticity can be realized in that the material thickness of the, for example metallic, plate from which the distribution structure is formed is partially tapered in such a way that a local stiffening due to cold deformation is set can.
- the elasticity of the distribution structure must be functional in the range from 0.1 to 150 N / mm 2 surface pressure (depending on the application, preferably 0.5-10 N / mm 2 ).
- the materials used have an elastic modulus of 10 to 250 kN / mm 2 .
- the spring rate required is between 0.1 and 100 kN / mm per square centimeter, preferably between 0.2 and 100 kN / mm per cm 2 , particularly preferably between 0.5 and 50 kN / mm per cm 2 .
- the surface pressure is exerted by applying force in the z direction (see FIG. 10) and the area specified in cm 2 describes the pressed surface in the xy plane (see, for example, end face 2, 2 ' in FIG.
- FIG. 11 shows the defined course for a controlled elastic bipolar plate, ie the degressive course of the spring rate over the surface pressure of a metallic bipolar plate as shown in FIG. 9 or 10, wherein a uniform spring rate was set over the xy plane.
- FIG. 4 shows a further structuring form in which both the end face 2 and the side wall 3 are deformed again with a vertical pressure load F.
- the pre-structuring provides a parabolic or Gaussian cross-section.
- the "maximum area" of the Gauss bell is flattened, causing the side walls 3 to rise or fall more steeply.
- FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment, in which essentially the side walls 3 are resiliently deformed under pressure, while the end face 2 remains essentially unchanged.
- This is made possible by a trapezoidal structuring of the distribution-structure-forming, spatially structured layer, in contrast to the one shown in FIG. 2, however, the longer parallel side forms the end face 2, while the shorter, imaginary, parallel side of the trapezoid-like structure along the plane the base of the structured layer.
- pressure load F With pressure load F, the angles enclosed by the legs of the trapezoid and the parallel sides are reduced.
- FIG. 6 A modification of this is shown in FIG. 6.
- the edge transitions between end face 2, side walls 3 and the base of the structured layer are round, so that an "omega-shaped" cross section is created.
- FIG. 7 shows a modified embodiment of that shown in FIG. 2.
- a suitable control of the forming process causes the material thickness to change in the flanks or radii of the structure in such a way that the elasticity or hardness of the material can be specifically adjusted.
- the material properties can be changed continuously or partially across the cross-section (across the structure) or along the distribution structure. This means that the elasticity or stiffness behavior can be coordinated across the entire distribution structure.
- FIG. 8 shows the serpentine course of the distribution structure 1 along the plane of the structured layer (not shown).
- the concentric circles F illustrate the course of the point-applied contact pressure as it passes through Clamping elements is introduced into the layer composite of the fuel cell arrangement 14. It is shown on the basis of these "level lines” how the distribution structure is compressed to different extents due to the spatially differently distributed compressive forces and how a spatially homogeneous distribution of the contact pressure in the layer composite of the fuel cell arrangement 14 is achieved due to its resilient properties.
- the concentric circles thus include, by way of example, surfaces which have a different elasticity or rigidity due to the structures described in accordance with FIGS. 3 to 7. The elasticity can therefore be matched to the mechanical parameters of the fuel cell stack.
- Section AA shows an outwardly decreasing stiffness (area b has a higher stiffness compared to areas a and
- the distribution structure can be given a partially different elasticity, depending on the location, ideally adapted (realized by incorporating the structures shown, for example, in section AA in FIG. 8) in such a way that the elasticity in areas with low surface pressure at the fuel cell level is increased.
- bipolar plate good electrical contact from bipolar plate to bipolar plate can be ensured, on the other hand, the uniform distribution of the media, such as hydrogen and air as reactants, or also a cooling medium.
- the better electrical contact due to the homogeneous pressure distribution leads to an increase in the performance of the fuel cell.
- Appropriate design makes it possible to Distribute forces specifically to the density functions and active line function areas, so that it is ensured that surface pressures that have been set are preserved over the service life and remain homogeneous.
- the elastic distribution structure can be arranged in layers at various locations in a fuel cell stack, which consists of graphite, graphite-filled plastics or conductive plastics.
- This distribution structure which is consequently formed using graphite, graphite-filled plastics or similar conductive plastics, can preferably be used in this case as a metallic cooling distribution structure.
- the distribution structure described here can also be used advantageously for the related electrolysis acids or electrochemical compressors.
- Table 1 gives an overview of how the internal resistance R_ges cooling position of the fuel cell could be decisively reduced by using distribution structures according to the invention, in this case for transporting a cooling medium.
- Table 1 shows comparative values for a fuel cell arrangement, the voltage differences across the individual cooling layers or cells being indicated. These cooling layers are, for example, cooling layers, as indicated in FIG. 9. It can be clearly seen here that with the bipolar plate elastic behavior, the voltage drop across the cooling position is significantly less than with the standard cell structure, so that an increase in the useful voltage of 5 to 10% can be easily achieved.
- FIG. 9 shows a distribution structure according to the invention, which is designed as a fluid-tight plate 9 '.
- Plate is preferably to be understood as meaning single-layer deformed plates. These can be, for example, plates made of a metal sheet, into which a corresponding structure with channels or other elevations can be stamped. Even if this layer is referred to as “single-layer", it can be for example coated '. It is essential that this is not, for example, a "concertina-shaped" curved plate with overlapping sections, which would then have a large extension in the Z direction (see coordinate system below FIG. 10).
- the plate shown in FIG. 9 is embodied here as a cooling layer which, with its end faces 2 or 2 ', adjoins adjacent elements b or b'.
- 9 'can also be a cooling layer which is located, for example, inside a "Composif bipolar plate, the outer layers of which are each stiff
- bipolar plate Another example of a bipolar plate is given in Figure 10. This bipolar plate, in turn, adjoins the adjacent elements b and b 'with the end faces 2 and 2 ".
- the bipolar plate is constructed from two plates, namely plates 9" and 9 "'. There are a total of three separate media spaces a "a ', a" is given.
- the plates or structures preferably have a spring rate between 0.5 and 50 kN / mm per cm 2 .
- the bipolar plates are made of metal, preferably aluminum, titanium, steel and / or their alloys, particularly preferably made of stainless steel, e.g. 1.4404, 1.4401, 1.4539 and have a material thickness of
- the plates “from themselves” provide elastic compensation of an e- create electrochemical arrangement and are also suitable for the separation of different media (cooling media or reaction media). It is particularly advantageous here, as can be seen, for example, in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, that perpendicular to the direction of the
- a main advantage of the invention is that, for example, a defined elasticity is achieved with the distribution structures / plates according to the invention, which increases the overall efficiency of the arrangement through the adapted compression, and also ensures gas separation and also a uniform gas distribution through these structures or plates.
