开发了一个气体与水管理系统,藉以配合5kW质子交换膜燃料电池堆（Ballard 1310）,使燃料电池的发电效率提升,并应用在小型运输工具之辅助动力装置（APU）.气体与水管理系统包含4个子系统：氧化物供应系统、氢气供应系统、冷却系统与控制系统.原设计之各子系统中,感测组件过多以及管路过长,易出现热耗散及不均匀的现象,使供应气体温度下降.在新的简化设计中,减少各系统中的感测组件及缩短的管路,能有效提升供应气体之温度,提升燃料电池的性能.此外,电池效能会被在不同负载下的气体相对湿度与氢气消耗量影响,氢气消耗量在负载100A时较负载10A时多44%,故分析氢气于各负载下的消耗情形与气体相对湿度,有助于设计理想的氢气再循环机制,而提升氢气的使用效率.为使总输出功率可达10kW,后续工作将以另一5kW燃料电池堆系统与原系统结合二极管做串并联组装,且因两电池堆之效能输出几乎一致,故全系统将可进行长时间且稳定之高功率输出.实验结果显示在空气进口温度51℃与相对湿度54%时,电池堆最理想效能可达到65.5%.“,”A gas and water management system has been developed to increase the performance of the 5 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack used for a small on board PEMFC auxiliary power unit(APU).The gas and water management system included four subsystems: oxidant supply subsystem,hydrogen supply subsystem,water cooling subsystem and control subsystem.The original design combined with excessive sensors and over-length pipes would cause the higher heat dissipation and decrease the inlet air temperature.The new compact design with less sensors and shorter pipe length could keep the higher inlet gas flow temperature and better performance of the fuel cell stack.In addition,stack performance could be influenced by the gas relative humidity and the hydrogen consumption under different loads.Hydrogen consumption under high load of 100 A might have 1.44 times more than that under low load of 10 A.Thus,the analysis of the hydrogen consumption under different loads and the gas relative humidity could help us to have an optimal design of the hydrogen recycling and increase the stack efficiency.Another 5 kW PEM fuel cell stack system is fabricated to couple with the original fuel cell stack system to have a 10 kW power output.The two stacks are electrically parallel or cascade;and the diodes are adopted in the circuit to avoid reverse current.The whole system should deliver a high power output stably in a long time because the performances of the two stacks are controlled to be almost identical to one another.The experimental results show that the stack ideal efficiency could reach 65.5% under the input air temperature of 51℃ and relative humidity of 54%.
