摘要
A 6 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell system, operating in self-humidified conditions, was characterized in two anode operative modes: dead-end and flow through with exhaust recirculation. The anode sub-system was specifically designed in order to adjust the level of recycled anodic stream. The role of anode purge frequency, anode recirculation level and air stoichiometric ratio was analysed in the power range 1-5 kW. The aim of this study was to define management strategies to assure efficient and reliable cell performance during steady-state, warm-up and load variation phases. The results evidenced the combined effect of hydrogen purge, air flow rate impulse, and recycled anodic stream on individual cell performance recovery when unstable working conditions were detected during system start-up and load variations.
