چکیده انگلیسی
Transfer (crossover) leaks initiated by the chemical deterioration of the PEM and the resulting performance degradation has been previously identified as one the primary life-limiting factors in fuel cells. The leaks result in reduced oxygen levels in affected cells, where a secondary factor intimately related to this is high hydrogen emissions in the cathode exhaust when some cells operate in fully-oxygen-starved conditions. This paper builds on previous work that developed a unified fuel cell model that predicts cell voltage behavior under driving (normal) and driven (oxygen-starved) conditions, where this latest analysis now explicitly includes hydrogen pumping and emissions release when operating under oxygen-depleted conditions. In addition to considering diffusion effects and electrochemical effects, the model tracks the evolution of hydrogen in the cell cathode when no oxygen remains to generate water. The voltage response of the model under normal (non-starved) conditions is first validated for steady-state and transient (current step-change) conditions against previously published experiments, and then the model is used to simulate the cell voltage and stack hydrogen emissions behavior measured from three different commercially available fuel cell stacks. In the first fuel cell stack, a 9-cell commercial short stack, only one cell was fully oxygen-starved. Excellent agreement is seen between the measured and simulated hydrogen release concentrations (where air injection was used downstream of the stack to ensure adequate oxygen levels for measurement with a catalytic hydrogen sensor and to condense water vapor in the exhaust), where the role of hydrogen pumping is seen to contribute significantly to the release behavior. The first fuel cell stack is then used transiently in comparison with testing performed where the hydrogen injection level in the cell is changed quickly, where the model gives good agreement with the measured emission response and cell voltage behavior. Further comparisons with test data from a second and third 10-cell commercial short stack models operated with stack inlet hydrogen injection show good agreement with measured emissions onset versus current, where the observed threshold of starvation and emissions occurs a few percent sooner in the third model than the simulation, but the overall behavior is well predicted.
