Discrete ejector control solution design, characterization, and verification in a 5 kW PEMFC system

摘要

An ejector primary gas flow control solution based on three solenoid valves is designed, implemented and tested in a 5 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system with ejector-based anode gas recirculation. The robust and cost effective combination of the tested flow control method and a single ejector is shown to achieve adequate anode gas recirculation rate on a wide PEMFC load range.
