Embodiment 1

[0015] The specific embodiment is to carry out the detection of hydrogen-oxygen gas crossover to a newly assembled 128-cell fuel cell stack, and its specific working steps are as follows:

[0016] a. Install the 128-cell fuel cell stack on the fuel cell testing platform, connect the gas pipeline between the stack and the test platform, and connect the fuel cell stack and the voltage detection line of the stack voltage inspection system;

[0017] b. Introduce 30kpa of detection gas with a hydrogen volume concentration of 20% into the anode chamber of the electric stack, the detection gas is a mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen, and feed 20kpa of air into the cathode chamber of the electric stack as the detection gas;

[0018] c. When the voltage of each node in the stack reaches an open circuit state of 0.9V or more, stop the introduction of the detection gas on the cathode side, and then hold down the pressure of the detection gas on the anode side to 50kpa for 1 minute, observ...

Embodiment 2

[0021] Change the detection gas that feeds into the cathode cavity of the electric stack in embodiment 1 into a mixed gas of oxygen and nitrogen; wherein, the volume concentration of oxygen is 10%, and the pressure is 20kpa, and other steps are the same as in embodiment 1.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for detecting the blow-by of hydrogen and oxygen in a fuel cell stack quickly, which comprises the following steps: mounting the stack on a detection platform to connect the stack and a gas pipeline of a test platform and a circuit of a voltage routing inspection system; introducing hydrogen cavity detection gas into a hydrogen cavity of the stack, introducing oxygen cavity detection gas to an oxygen cavity, and enabling the stack to enter the generating state; and after voltages of cells in the stack are in an open circuit state of over 0.9 V, stopping introducing the oxygen cavity detection gas, continuing to introduce the hydrogen cavity detection gas to the hydrogen cavity, keeping pressure and recording the change of the cell voltages of the fuel cell stack under the state. Thus, a position in which the cell that the voltage of a single cell in the fuel cell stack drops quickly is positioned is a specific position of the blow-by of an oxy-hydrogen cavity. The method can detect the specific position of the blow-by of the hydrogen and oxygen in the fuel cell stack quickly, has the characteristics of novel and simple structure, quick test time, accurate test and the like, and belongs to the method for detecting the blow-by of the hydrogen and oxygen in the fuel cell stack which integrates economy and practicability into a whole.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a rapid detection method for hydrogen-oxygen crossover of fuel cell stacks. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell stack is composed of many single cells, and a stack contains several, dozens or even hundreds of single cells. If there is gas crossover in the hydrogen-oxygen cavity in the stack, there will be a great safety hazard in the operation of the stack. Usually, the anode cavity of the fuel cell is hydrogen fuel, and the cathode cavity is the oxidant. Usually the oxidant is oxygen or air. If the hydrogen is mixed with oxygen or air in the cathode chamber (or the oxygen is in the anode chamber), it is easy to reach the explosion limit and cause a safety accident. Since the fuel cell stack is composed of many single cells, it is difficult to avoid defects in individual components such as MEA, glue lines and bipolar plates during the preparation process and damage to components ...
