摘要

以水下潜航器密闭空间用氢燃料电池为研究对象,采用COMSOL研究不同蛇形流道型式及设计参数对PEMFC性能的影响。研究表明：蛇形流道的通道数和通道单元数是影响密闭空间燃料电池流场性能的重要参数,通过优化这些参数可显著提高燃料电池的电流密度和功率输出。多通道蛇形流道通过调整通道数和合理的对称设计能延长反应物停留时间、增强水管理效率,实现更高电流密度与功率密度,同时其具有的加速除水、提升氧气传输的特性进一步优化了燃料电池综合表现。

Abstract

Taking the hydrogen fuel cell for underwater vehicle enclosed space as the research object, COMSOL was used to study the effects of different serpentine channel types and design parameters on the performance of PEMFC. Study shows that the number of channels and the number of channel cells in the serpentine flow channel are important parameters affecting the fuel cell flow field performance in enclosed space, and the current density and power output of the fuel cell can be significantly improved by optimizing these parameters. The multi-channel serpentine flow channel can extend the reactant residence time and enhance the water management efficiency by adjusting the number of channels and reasonable symmetry design to achieve higher current density and power density, and meanwhile its characteristics of accelerating the water removal and enhancing the oxygen transport further enhance the overall fuel cell performance.
