针对不同负载和阳极排气周期,对自制的空冷型质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)进行实验。在实验过程中用单电池巡检系统监控各单体电池的电压,红外热像仪测量电堆表面的温度分布。在恒压输出模式下,随着阳极排气周期和负载的增大,单体电池的电压差逐渐扩大。当排气间隔为50 s(单体电池电压设定为0.6 V)时,平均电压最大偏差达0.2 V,出现该现象的原因是高负载输出时,如阳极排气不及时,更容易发生水淹。
An experimental study of self-made air-cooled proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) was investigated on different loads and anode exhaust cycles. The individual cell voltage was monitored by unit cell voltage monitor system,the distribution of surface temperature of stack was measured by infrared camera. Under constant voltage mode,the differences in cell voltages became larger when purge frequency and load increased,the maximum deviation of average voltage was raised up to 0. 2 V when exhaust every 50 s(unit cell voltage was set at 0. 6 V). The reason for this phenomenon was the cells would be flooded if the exhaust was not in time in the condition of high output load.
