Water transport within Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is investigated by systematic measurements of the water transport coefficient, defined as the net water flux across the membrane divided by the water production. It is recorded for various operating conditions (current density, gas stoichiometry, air inlet relative humidity, temperature, pressure) in a fuel cell stack fed by dry hydrogen. The measurement of the water transport coefficient shows that a significant fraction of water is collected at the anode while water is produced or injected at the cathode. Moreover, in usual operating conditions, liquid water is present at the cell outlet not only in the cathode but also in the anode. Contrary to the electrical performances, ageing has no influence on the water transport coefficient, which allows the comparison between data collected at different periods of the fuel cell lifetime. From this comparison, it was found that the hydrogen flow rate, the amount of vapor injected at cathode inlet, and the temperature are the main parameters influencing the water transport coefficient. It is shown that air and hydrogen stoichiometry present significant effects on water transport but only through these parameters. 相似文献

A proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) must maintain a balance between the hydration level required for efficient proton transfer and excess liquid water that can impede the flow of gases to the electrodes where the reactions take place. Therefore, it is critically important to understand the two-phase flow of liquid water combined with either the hydrogen (anode) or air (cathode) streams. In this paper, we describe the design of an in situ test apparatus that enables investigation of two-phase channel flow within PEMFCs, including the flow of water from the porous gas diffusion layer (GDL) into the channel gas flows; the flow of water within the bipolar plate channels themselves; and the dynamics of flow through multiple channels connected to common manifolds which maintain a uniform pressure differential across all possible flow paths. These two-phase flow effects have been studied at relatively low operating temperatures under steady-state conditions and during transient air purging sequences. 相似文献

In the present work, preliminary results of different hydrophobic surface treatments for gas diffusion layer (GDL) for PEM fuel cells are presented. This hydrophobic coating consists of new perfluoropolyether (PFPE) derivatives, in comparison to standard polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dispersions. Experimental conditions for an efficient coating of fluoropolymers onto carbon clothes were explored by wet chemical methods.The GDLs obtained were tested in a single fuel cell at the lab scale. The cell testing was run at two temperatures (60 °C and 80 °C) with a relative humidity (RH) of the feeding gases of 80/100%, hydrogen/air respectively.The new PFPE coatings measurably improve the cell performances, and this effect is more evident at 60 °C with respect to 80 °C. 相似文献

The design of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system is important for the optimization of the function of supporting parameters in the fuel cell. The water balance in a PEM fuel cell is investigated based on the water transport phenomena. In this investigation, the diffusion of water from the cathode side to the anode side of the cell is observed to not occur at 20% relative humidity at the cathode (RHC) and 58% relative humidity at the anode (RHA). The minimum concentration of condensed water at the cathode side is observed at a cathode gas inlet relative humidity of 40% RHC–92% RHC and at temperatures between 343 K and 363 K. RHC operating conditions that are greater than 90% and at a temperature of 363 K increased the concentration of condensed water and occurred quickly, which result in a water balance that became difficult to control. On the anode side, the condensation of water is observed at operating temperatures of 353 K and 363 K. 相似文献

A single phase computational fuel cells model is presented to elucidate three-dimensional interactions between mass transport and electrochemical kinetics in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells with straight gas channels. The governing differential equations are solved over a single computational domain, which consists of a gas channel, gas diffusion layer, and catalyst layer for both the anode and cathode sides of the cell as well as the solid polymer membrane. Emphasis is placed on obtaining a basic understanding of how three-dimensional flow and transport phenomena in the air cathode impact the electrochemical process in the flow field. The complete cell model has been validated against experimentally measured polarization curve, showing good accuracy in reproducing cell performance over moderate current density interval. Fully three-dimensional results of the flow structure and species profiles are presented for cathode flow field. The effects of pressure on oxygen transport and water removal are illustrated through main axis of the flow structure. The model results indicate that oxygen concentration in reaction sites is significantly affected by pressure increase which leads to rising fuel cells power. 相似文献

PEM water electrolysis offers an efficient and flexible way to produce “green-hydrogen” from renewable (intermittent) energy sources. Most research papers published in the open literature on the subject are addressing performances issues and to date, very few information is available concerning the mechanisms of performance degradation and the associated consequences. Results reported in this communication have been used to analyze the failure mechanisms of PEM water electrolysis cells which can ultimately lead to the destruction of the electrolyzer. A two-step process involving firstly the local perforation of the solid polymer electrolyte followed secondly by the catalytic recombination of hydrogen and oxygen stored in the electrolysis compartments has been evidenced. The conditions leading to the onset of such mechanism are discussed and some preventive measures are proposed to avoid accidents. 相似文献

The effect of relative humidity of the cathode (RHC) on proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been studied focusing on automotive operation. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed on a 300-cm2 serpentine flow-field configuration at various RHC levels. The dependency of current density, membrane water contents, net water flux on the performance and the uniformity was investigated. The uniformity of current density and temperature was evaluated by employing standard deviation. The water balance inside a fuel cell was examined by describing electro-osmotic drag and back diffusion. It was concluded that the RHC has strong effect on the cell performance and uniformity. The dry RHC showed low cell voltage and non-uniform distributions of current density and temperature, whereas high RHC presented increased cell performance and uniform distributions of current density and temperature with well-hydrated membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Also the local current density distribution was strongly dependent on the local membrane water contents distribution that has complex phenomena of water transport. The elimination of external humidifier is desirable for the automotive operation, but it could degrade cell performance and durability due to dehydration of the MEA. Therefore a proper humidification of the reactant is necessary. 相似文献

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) performance significantly depends on electrodes water content. Liquid water emerging from the Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) micro-channels can form droplets, films or slugs in the Gas Flow Channel (GFC). In the regime of droplets formation, the interaction with the gas flow leads to an oscillating mechanisms that is fundamental to study the detachment from the GDL surface. In this work, a numerical model of a droplet growing on the GDL surface is developed to describe the interaction between droplet and gas flow. Therefore, a lumped force balance is enforced to determine the center of mass motion law. Oscillation frequencies during growth and at detachment are found as a function of droplet size. The model is also exploited to find the relationship between droplet critical detachment size and gas velocity. The numerical results are compared with the experimental data previously published by the authors as well as with other experimental results available in the literature. The matching between the numerical and experimental data is very good. The low computational burden and the conciseness of the proposed approach make the model suitable for applications such as control and optimization strategies development to enhance PEMFC performance. Additionally, the model can be exploited to implement monitoring and diagnostic algorithm as well. 相似文献

In this paper, a two-phase non-isothermal PEM fuel cell model based on the previously developed mixed-domain PEM fuel cell model with a consistent treatment of water transport in MEA has been established using the traditional two-fluid method. This two-phase multi-dimensional PEM fuel cell model could fully incorporate both the anode and cathode sides, properly account for the various water phases, including water vapor, water in the membrane phase, and liquid water, and truly enable numerical investigations of water and thermal management issues with the existence of condensation/evaporation interfaces in a PEM fuel cell. This two-phase model has been applied in this paper in a two-dimensional configuration to determine the appropriate condensation and evaporation rate coefficients and conduct extensive numerical studies concerning the effects of the inlet humidity condition and temperature variation on liquid water distribution with or without a condensation/evaporation interface. 相似文献
