- anode non-circulation system that can supply hydrogen gas only at a pressure lower than the allowable withstand pressure, if the supply rate of the anode gas is increased too much, the supplied anode gas does not sufficiently penetrate into the gas diffusion layer. Since the inert gas remaining in the anode catalyst layer is not sufficiently replaced with the gas, the surface of the gas diffusion layer is slid up and flows through the anode gas flow path. Therefore, power generation failure is likely to occur due to insufficient hydrogen partial pressure in the anode catalyst layer.

The difference between FIG. 16 and FIG. 15A is that, in FIG. 16, the drying process during the previous power generation stop process is performed for a longer time than in the case of FIG. As in FIG. 15, the thin solid line in FIG. 16 indicates the change in voltage (cell voltage) of each fuel cell constituting the fuel cell stack 1, and the thick solid line in FIG. 16 indicates the change in current density.

From FIG. 16, the cell voltage variation in FIG. 16 is smaller than that in FIG. 15 (a), and the area specific resistance of FIG. 16 from FIG. It can be seen that, even in a low temperature environment, in a situation where the amount of remaining anode water is small, it is possible to obtain more excellent power generation characteristics of the fuel cell stack 1 by setting the anode pressure increase speed to a high speed.
- the fuel cell stack 1 of the present embodiment after the power generation is stopped, water newly generated by the power generation does not occur in the fuel cell stack 1, but as the time after the power generation stops, the fuel Since water remaining in the cell stack 1 moves in the fuel cell stack 1 due to diffusion, flow, etc., the water distribution in the fuel cell stack 1 changes. The longer the elapsed time from power generation stop, the greater the change in the water distribution, and the residual water spreads over a wider area of the power generation region of the fuel cell.

- the anode speed is set to a low speed because the temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature
- the anode pressure increase speed is set to a higher speed as the power generation stop duration of the fuel cell stack 1 is shorter.
- the power generation stop duration is short, the power generation response of the fuel cell stack 1 can be improved, and the power generation characteristics of the fuel cell stack 1 in a low temperature environment can be improved.

- Gas diffusion amount -diffusion coefficient (D) x concentration gradient (4)
- the diffusion coefficient (D) generally has a relationship of temperature (T) and the following equation (5).
- T Temperature
- ⁇ D Collision integral
- the amount of gas diffusion is also considered to decrease at a rate similar to the diffusion coefficient from Equation (4). Further, when the fuel cell stack 1 reaches a freezing point state in which the anode residual water is not completely removed, the range (area) of the anode catalyst layer in which hydrogen gas can diffuse is reduced by freezing of the residual water. Therefore, it is conceivable that the amount of hydrogen reaching the anode catalyst layer is reduced more than the reduction amount of the gas diffusion amount.

- the thick solid line in FIG. 18 indicates the current density.
- the thick broken line in FIG. 18 shows the change in the area specific resistance of each fuel cell.
- the current density pattern in FIG. 18 is the same as that in FIGS. 15 and 16. From FIG. 18, the variation in cell voltage between cells is smaller in (b) than in (a), and the area specific resistance of (b) is more stable from the beginning than in (a). It can be seen that the power generation characteristics of the fuel cell stack 1 are improved by setting the anode lower limit pressure higher in a low temperature environment.
- the gas permeation amount between the cathode and the anode tends to increase as the temperature of the fuel cell stack 1 increases. Therefore, the nitrogen permeated from the cathode side to the anode side in a short time as the temperature of the fuel cell stack 1 increases. Unless impurities that hinder power generation such as gas and steam gas are not discharged, power generation failure may occur due to insufficient hydrogen partial pressure in the anode catalyst layer.
- the anode lower limit pressure is set to a low pressure, so that the pressure difference from the anode upper limit pressure is set large. Impurities such as nitrogen gas and water vapor gas inside the anode can be efficiently discharged to the downstream volume portion 12 in a short time. That is, in the fuel cell system of this embodiment, the hydrogen partial pressure of the anode catalyst layer is efficiently secured in accordance with the temperature of the fuel cell stack 1, and the cause of power generation failure is suppressed, so that the fuel in a low temperature environment The power generation characteristics of the battery stack 1 can be improved.
- the anode lower limit pressure is set to a higher value than when the temperature is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, and the anode pressure is set to a relatively high value. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the impurities pushed into the volume 12 from flowing back into the anode, and to suppress the carbon corrosion deterioration due to the formation of hydrogen front due to the backflow of impurities, while also preventing hydrogen in the anode catalyst layer.
- the power generation characteristics of the fuel cell stack 1 in a low temperature environment can be improved by securing the partial pressure and suppressing the factor causing power generation failure.
- the anode lower limit pressure is determined.
- the anode lower limit pressure is set to a higher pressure than when it is determined that the purge valve 14 has not failed.
- the hydrogen partial pressure of the anode catalyst layer is effectively suppressed while the carbon corrosion deterioration due to the hydrogen front formation of the fuel cell stack 1 due to the backflow of the anode gas, which is a concern when the purge valve 14 is malfunctioning, is effectively suppressed.
- impurities such as nitrogen gas and water vapor gas pushed into the volume 12 downstream of the fuel cell stack 1 are appropriately disposed downstream of the purge valve 14. Can no longer be discharged. In that case, as time elapses, the impurities tend to flow back into the anode due to repeated anode pressure increase / decrease and gas diffusion, and the backflow of impurities causes hydrogen in the anode catalyst layer to flow back. Poor power generation due to insufficient partial pressure or carbon corrosion deterioration due to hydrogen front formation may occur.
- the anode lower limit pressure is set to a high pressure, and the anode pressure is maintained at a relatively high value. Therefore, the impurity pushed into the volume 12 is effectively suppressed from flowing back into the anode, and the hydrogen partial pressure of the anode catalyst layer is secured while suppressing carbon corrosion deterioration due to hydrogen front formation due to the reverse flow of impurities. By suppressing the factor causing power generation failure, the power generation characteristics of the fuel cell stack 1 in a low temperature environment can be improved.
- the anode pressurization speed is set to be slower than that when the temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature. Therefore, even in a low temperature environment including a freezing point condition, By supplying, the inert gas inside the fuel cell can be properly discharged into the volume outside the fuel cell, effectively preventing power generation failure due to insufficient hydrogen partial pressure in the anode catalyst layer, and improving the power generation characteristics of the fuel cell Can be improved.

Abstract
Description
特開2008-97966号公報は、このようなアノード非循環型の燃料電池システムにおいて、発電中にアノードガスの供給圧力の昇圧および降圧を繰り返し行って、アノードガス流路内に周期的なガス流れを起こすことにより、窒素ガスなどの不活性ガスが燃料電池スタックの一部のセルに滞留することを抑制し、アノード触媒層内における水素分圧不足による発電不良を抑制する技術を開示している。
カソード:2H+ + 2e- +(1/2)O2 → H2O ・・・(2)
燃料電池システムは、発電を行う燃料電池スタック1のほかに、燃料電池スタック1に水素ガスを供給するための水素系と、燃料電池スタック1に空気を供給するための空気系と、燃料電池スタック1から取り出す出力(例えば、電流)を制御する出力取出装置30と、システム全体の動作を統合的に制御するコントローラ40とを備える。
そこで、燃料電池システムの起動時に、水素フロントが形成される期間をできる限り短縮して、上記現象によるカーボン腐食が生じることを抑制するために、基準昇圧速度は、水素ガス調圧バルブ11で制御可能な最速の値に設定することが望ましい。また、氷点下フラグが0の状態にあるときは、燃料電池スタック1に残留している水は液体の状態で存在していると考えられ、この液体の状態の残留水を効率的に排出する観点からも、基準昇圧速度は、できる限り速い値に設定することが望ましい。
ガス拡散量 = - 拡散係数(D)× 濃度勾配・・・(4)
ここで、拡散係数(D)は、一般的に温度(T)と次式(5)の関係を有している。
拡散係数(D) ∝ 温度(T)^2/3 / 衝突積分(ΩD)・・・(5)
燃料電池スタック1の使用環境として想定される下限温度(例えば-20℃)環境下では、拡散係数(D)は、式(5)から通常の温度(例えば20℃)環境下における拡散係数の約60%程度まで減少すると予想され、また、ガス拡散量も、式(4)から拡散係数と同程度の割合で減少すると考えられる。さらに、燃料電池スタック1が、アノード残留水が完全に除去されていない状態で氷点下状態に至った場合には、残留水の凍結によって、水素ガスが拡散できるアノード触媒層の範囲(面積)が減少するため、アノード触媒層に到達する水素の量は、上記ガス拡散量の減少分以上に減少することが考えられる。
