摘要: 实验研究了反应气体低流速下质子交换膜燃料电池内液滴自身重力对电池性能的影响。结果显示,自身重力有利于液滴脱离气体扩散层,使液态水有效排出电池堆。电池水平放置阴极向下时,液滴重力与其脱离气体扩散层方向一致,电池性能最佳;电池竖直放置时,液滴重力与气体将其吹扫出电池方向一致,其向外排水能力最强。反应气体流速较低时,电池在不同放置方式下,提高其温度,电池性能上升;电池竖直放置时,气体加湿对电池性能影响不大。电池测试时,应该避免电池阴极水平向上。

Abstract: Low gas velocity in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) can be occurred as gas distribution inconformity. Low gas velocity of PEMFC aided by gravity water drainage was investigated experimentally. It released that gravity can help droplets separate from gas diffusion layer (GDL) which help the liquid water drainage from PEMFC stack too. The experiment released that the performance of stack will be the best when the cathode downward and the droplet gravity accordance to the orientation of the droplet separate from GDL; Gravity drops consistent with the direction of purge gas in the PEMFC stack when the channel was vertical which improved the water management. In different orientation of PEMFC stack channel the output of stack would be increasing as the temperature rising when the reaction gas flow rate was low. The gas humidification had little effect on stack performance when the channel was vertical. It should be avoided that the cathode was horizontal and upwards when the stack was working.
