Abstract:

The air-cooled proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has the characteristics of self-humidification, light mass, and simple system operation, and is suitable for use in fields such as drones. Hydrogen intake pressure plays an important role in the performance of the air-cooled PEMFC stack. Based on 1 kW air-cooled PEMFC stack, the influence of different hydrogen inlet pressures on the performances of the single cell voltage and distribution, output voltage and power of stack, and hydrogen utilization efficiency were considered. The experimental results indicate that the values of the single cell voltage, output voltage and power of stack are an upward trend with improving inlet gas pressure. Besides, the single cell voltage is in good agreement under high current. Moreover, increasing the inlet pressure decreased the hydrogen utilization while the experiment uses drainage method to collect exhaust gas and calculate hydrogen utilization rate.

Key words: air-cooled PEMFC stack, intake pressure, cell performance, hydrogen utilization rate

摘要:

空冷型质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)具有自增湿、质量轻、系统操作简单等特点,适合应用于无人机等领域。氢气进气压力是影响空冷型PEMFC电堆性能的一个重要因素。以1 kW阴极开放式空冷型PEMFC电堆为研究对象,对比了不同氢气进气压力对单片电池电压及其一致性、电堆输出电压、输出功率以及氢气利用率的影响。研究结果表明,氢气进气压力越高,单片电池电压、电堆输出电压和功率越高,大电流下单片电池电压的一致性越好;此外,本实验利用排水法收集阳极尾气并计算氢气利用率,氢气进气压力越高,系统氢气利用率越低。
