STUDY ON EFFECT OF VARIABLE OPERATING CONDITIONS ON FLOODING OF PEMFC
To investigate the influence of variable operating conditions on the flooding faults of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)
multiple flooding control experiments were conducted by combining voltage monitoring and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) dynamic measurements. Then
the EIS measurements were parameterized using the proposed RL(RQ-RC) equivalent circuit model to obtain the fitted values of ohmic impedance
charge transfer impedance and mass transfer impedance. Finally
the effect of different operating conditions on flooding faults were studied by analyzing the trend of voltage change and the variation laws of impedance. The experimental results show that the charge transfer impedance and mass transfer impedance gradually increased with the degree of flooding
in which the increase of mass transfer impedance was more significant. Increasing the cathode stoichiometric ratio and outlet back-pressure could alleviate the flooding phenomenon
and the higher the current density
the more easily to cause severe flooding.
