摘要
Research on hydrogen pressure characteristics was performed for a fuel cell stack to supply a rule of hydrogen pressure drop for flooding diagnostic systems. Some experiments on the hydrogen pressure drop in various operating pressure, temperature, flowrate and stack current conditions were carried out, and hydrodynamic calculation was managed to compare with the experiment results. Results show that the hydrogen pressure drop is strongly affected by liquid water content in the flow channel of fuel cells, and it is not in normal relation with flowrate when the stoichiometric ratio is inconstant. The total pressure drop can be calculated by a frictional pressure loss formula accurately, relating with mixture viscosity, stack temperature, operating pressure, stoichiometric ratio and stack current. The pressure drop characteristics will be useful for predicting liquid water flooding in fuel cell stacks before flow channels have been jammed as a diagnostic tool in electric control systems.
