Problems solved by technology

[0004] Aiming at the internal water management problem of proton exchange membrane fuel cell, the present invention provides a water management system and operation method of proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The direction of flow inside the battery is to solve the internal water imbalance problem that occurs when the existing proton exchange membrane fuel cell is working, that is, the problem of increased internal resistance caused by the loss of water in the proton exchange membrane near the inlet of the cathode in the fuel cell, and the problem of increased internal resistance in the fuel cell. "Flooding" problem caused by excessive water in the part of the battery near the cathode outlet

Abstract

The invention provides a proton exchange membrane fuel cell water management system and an operation method. By means of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell water management system and the operation method, switching of an inlet and an outlet of a fuel cell during working is achieved, that is, the inlet of the fuel cell is switched to be the outlet, and the outlet is switched to be the inlet; and therefore, the flowing direction of cathode oxidant gas (air or oxygen) in the cell is changed in the operation process of the fuel cell, and problems in internal water management during operationof existing proton exchange membrane fuel cells are solved, namely, the problem of internal resistance increase caused by water loss of a proton exchange membrane, close to a cathode inlet part, of the fuel cell and the problem of flooding caused by excessive water of the proton exchange membrane, close to a cathode outlet part, of the fuel cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell water management system and an operation method. Background technique [0002] A proton exchange membrane fuel cell is a type of fuel cell device that uses a proton exchange membrane as an electrolyte membrane. According to the structure and working principle of the proton exchange membrane, the proton-conducting ability of the proton-exchange membrane is closely related to the water content in the membrane: when the water in the membrane is saturated, it has the largest proton-conducting ability, so maintaining the water content in the membrane is very important for fuel. It is critical for the battery to function properly. In actual operation, the fuel cell is close to the cathode inlet, and the oxidant (air or oxygen) is relatively dry, which will take away the moisture in the proton exchange membrane, make the membrane dry, and cause t...
