本發明的技術手段可獲得的功效增進在於: 1. 本發明的燃料電池冷卻系統及燃料電池控溫方法,在平時燃料電池系統的輸出功率維持恆定或是小範圍調整時,冷卻液通過常規的該第一熱交換模組降溫後,進一步透過設於低溫貨廂內的該第二熱交換模組強制降溫,將冷卻液控制在較低溫的狀態,後續該燃料電池系統的輸出功率大幅提升時,較低溫的冷卻液能有效將該燃料電池系統因輸出功率提升而產生的多餘廢熱快速轉移,藉此燃料電池系統的工作溫度能受控制而不致上升過快,燃料電池系統可以維持良好的運作效率、發揮其優秀的電能及熱能效益。 2. 本發明的燃料電池冷卻系統及燃料電池控溫方法,在該燃料電池系統的輸出功率大幅提升後,該電子控制單元的判斷機制使冷卻液不再藉由該第二熱交換模組散熱,從而防止該低溫貨廂的溫度因高溫的冷卻液而過度上升,避免該低溫貨廂內需要低溫儲存的物品毀損,讓本發明在不影響該低溫貨廂之功能的前提下,利用該低溫貨廂的低溫輔助將冷卻液冷卻降溫。 The technical measures of the present invention can achieve the following improved performance: 1. The fuel cell cooling system and fuel cell temperature control method of the present invention, when the output power of the fuel cell system is normally maintained constant or adjusted within a small range, coolant is cooled by the conventional first heat exchange module. It is then further forcibly cooled by the second heat exchange module located in the low-temperature cargo compartment, keeping the coolant at a relatively low temperature. Subsequently, when the output power of the fuel cell system is significantly increased, the relatively low-temperature coolant can effectively and quickly transfer excess waste heat generated by the increased output power. This keeps the operating temperature of the fuel cell system under control and prevents it from rising too rapidly. This allows the fuel cell system to maintain good operating efficiency and achieve excellent electrical and thermal efficiency. 2. The fuel cell cooling system and fuel cell temperature control method of the present invention utilize a judgment mechanism within the electronic control unit to prevent the coolant from dissipating heat through the second heat exchange module after the fuel cell system's output power is significantly increased. This prevents the low-temperature compartment's temperature from excessively rising due to the high-temperature coolant, thus protecting items stored at low temperatures within the compartment from damage. This allows the present invention to utilize the low temperature of the compartment to assist in cooling the coolant without compromising the compartment's functionality.
為能詳細瞭解本發明的技術特徵及實用功效,並可依照發明內容來實現,玆進一步以如圖式所示的較佳實施例,詳細說明如後:In order to fully understand the technical features and practical effects of the present invention and to implement them according to the content of the invention, the preferred embodiment shown in the drawings is further described in detail as follows:

The cryogenic logistics vehicle 90 is equipped with a fuel cell system 10 and a cryogenic cargo compartment 91. The cryogenic cargo compartment 91 is a storage compartment with an interior temperature lower than ambient temperature, capable of storing fresh food or other goods that require insulation and preservation. The fuel cell cooling system is used to control the temperature of the fuel cell system 10 and includes a cooling pump assembly 20, a first heat exchange module 30, a second heat exchange module 40, an electromagnetic valve assembly 50, and an electronic control unit 60.
該燃料電池系統10係以氫氣作為燃料進行反應而產生電能,透過該燃料電池系統10產生的電能,能驅動馬達帶動該低溫物流車90前進、帶動該低溫物流車90上的製冷系統運作以控制該低溫貨廂91的溫度,或是作為附屬的電力源使用,如圖1所示,該低溫物流車90設有複數個儲氫罐12以供給氫氣至該燃料電池系統10,其中,該燃料電池系統10於反應時會產生廢熱,因而如圖2所示,該燃料電池冷卻系統設置一冷卻液循環管路,該冷卻泵組件20、該第一熱交換模組30、該第二熱交換模組40及該電磁閥組件50則設於該冷卻液循環管路上,使冷卻液能流經該燃料電池系統10進行散熱,將該燃料電池系統10的工作溫度降低,並透過該燃料電池冷卻系統的其他元件降溫,以便重新對該燃料電池系統10散熱。The fuel cell system 10 uses hydrogen as fuel to generate electricity. The electricity generated by the fuel cell system 10 can drive the motor to drive the low-temperature logistics vehicle 90 forward, drive the refrigeration system on the low-temperature logistics vehicle 90 to operate to control the temperature of the low-temperature cargo compartment 91, or be used as an auxiliary power source. As shown in Figure 1, the low-temperature logistics vehicle 90 is equipped with a plurality of hydrogen storage tanks 12 to supply hydrogen to the fuel cell system 10. Waste heat is generated during operation. Therefore, as shown in FIG2 , the fuel cell cooling system is provided with a coolant circulation circuit. The cooling pump assembly 20, the first heat exchange module 30, the second heat exchange module 40, and the electromagnetic valve assembly 50 are disposed in the coolant circulation circuit. This allows the coolant to flow through the fuel cell system 10 to dissipate heat, thereby lowering the operating temperature of the fuel cell system 10 and cooling other components of the fuel cell cooling system to dissipate heat from the fuel cell system 10.

The cooling pump assembly 20 specifically includes a plurality of cooling water pumps 21 connected in series. This ensures that after the coolant is drawn from the fuel cell system 10, there is sufficient pressure to circulate in the coolant circulation pipeline. After cooling through the first heat exchange module 30, the coolant can flow back to the fuel cell system 10 to dissipate heat.

The first heat exchange unit 31 refers to a pipe or other structure in the first heat exchange module 30 for the coolant to flow through. The first heat exchange unit 31 is connected to the cooling pump assembly 20. The coolant is pumped by the cooling pump assembly 20 and flows through the first heat exchange unit 31. The first fan 32 is arranged on one side of the first heat exchange unit 31 and is connected to the outside of the low-temperature cargo compartment 91. The air outside the low-temperature logistics vehicle 90 enters through the first fan 32 and exchanges heat with the first heat exchange unit 31, thereby cooling the coolant flowing through the first heat exchange unit 31.
如圖1及圖2所示,該第二熱交換模組40係設於該低溫物流車90的低溫貨廂91內,該第二熱交換模組40亦包含有一熱交換單元及一風扇,分別定義為一第二熱交換單元41及一第二風扇42,該第二熱交換單元41係指該第二熱交換模組40中用以供冷卻液流經的管路或是其他結構,該第二風扇42設於該第二熱交換單元41的一側,且能使所述低溫貨廂91內的空氣流動,讓該低溫貨廂91內的空氣與該第二熱交換單元41進行熱交換,藉以將流經該第二熱交換單元41的冷卻液降溫。As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the second heat exchange module 40 is located in the low-temperature cargo compartment 91 of the low-temperature logistics vehicle 90. The second heat exchange module 40 also includes a heat exchange unit and a fan, which are defined as a second heat exchange unit 41 and a second fan 42 respectively. The second heat exchange unit 41 refers to the pipeline or other structure in the second heat exchange module 40 for the coolant to flow through. The second fan 42 is located on one side of the second heat exchange unit 41 and can cause the air in the low-temperature cargo compartment 91 to flow, allowing the air in the low-temperature cargo compartment 91 to exchange heat with the second heat exchange unit 41, thereby cooling the coolant flowing through the second heat exchange unit 41.
有關該第一熱交換模組30及該第二熱交換模組40的詳細結構及配置,亦可參考現有的熱交換技術,或沿用現行車輛的散熱系統結構,例如:可以設置多個所述風扇,並不以本發明較佳實施例為限。The detailed structure and configuration of the first heat exchange module 30 and the second heat exchange module 40 may refer to existing heat exchange technology or adopt the heat dissipation system structure of existing vehicles.

The first electromagnetic valve 51 is disposed between the first heat exchange unit 31 and the second heat exchange unit 41. The first electromagnetic valve 51 can be controlled to determine whether the coolant passes through the second heat exchange module 40 in the low-temperature cargo compartment 91 after passing through the first heat exchange module 30. The second solenoid valve 52 is disposed between the first solenoid valve 51, the second heat exchange unit 41, and the fuel cell system 10. This allows the coolant to flow from the first solenoid valve 51 through the second solenoid valve 52 back to the fuel cell system 10, or from the first solenoid valve 51 through the second heat exchange unit 41 and then back to the fuel cell system 10 through the second solenoid valve 52.
在其他實施例中,也可以於該第二電磁閥52處單純設置一三通管,並於該三通管與該第二熱交換單元41之間設置一單向閥,同樣能於該第一電磁閥51切換冷卻液的路徑後,讓冷卻液自對應路徑流回該燃料電池系統10進行散熱,只要該電磁閥組件50設有該第一電磁閥51,能決定冷卻液於通過該第一熱交換模組30後,是否通過該第二熱交換模組40,該電磁閥組件50後端連接路徑的形式並不以本發明較佳實施例為限。In other embodiments, a tee may be simply provided at the second electromagnetic valve 52, and a one-way valve may be provided between the tee and the second heat exchange unit 41. Similarly, after the first electromagnetic valve 51 switches the coolant path, the coolant can flow back to the fuel cell system 10 from the corresponding path for heat dissipation. As long as the electromagnetic valve assembly 50 is provided with the first electromagnetic valve 51 and can determine whether the coolant passes through the second heat exchange module 40 after passing through the first heat exchange module 30, the form of the rear end connection path of the electromagnetic valve assembly 50 is not limited to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The fuel cell temperature control method is performed during the operation of the cryogenic logistics vehicle 90. As shown in FIG4A, first, an information receiving step S1 is performed: the electronic control unit 60 receives an output power adjustment information of the fuel cell system 10; specifically, when the cryogenic logistics vehicle 90 needs to increase the output power of the fuel cell system 10 (for example, when the cryogenic logistics vehicle 90 accelerates), the vehicle control unit 92 Receiving an output power adjustment command and adjusting the output power may specifically include sending an electrical signal to activate a gas valve to adjust the amount of hydrogen output from the hydrogen storage tank 12 to the fuel cell system 10 to increase the output power. After the vehicle control unit 92 receives the output power adjustment command, it issues output power adjustment information based on the power adjustment command. The electronic control unit 60 receives the output power adjustment information from the vehicle control unit 92 to obtain the current output power of the fuel cell system 10 and the target value for adjusting the output power.
接著進行一計算步驟S2:該電子控制單元60根據該輸出功率調整資訊計算出冷卻液的一預估溫度;具體來說,燃料電池可根據其性質繪製與功率、效率及溫度等數據相關的特性曲線,該電子控制單元60則內建有根據上述特性曲線設定的運算式,在接收該輸出功率調整資訊後,該電子控制單元60可根據該燃料電池系統10當前的輸出功率,透過前述的運算式推算出該燃料電池系統10當前透過冷卻液散熱的熱量,並根據調整輸出功率的目標值推算該燃料電池系統10於輸出功率改變後,需透過冷卻液進行散熱的熱量,從而根據上述兩者的差異計算出該燃料電池系統10因輸出功率提高而產生的多餘廢熱量,並搭配冷卻液的流量及當前溫度估算出冷卻液在輸出功率提高後上升的溫度。Next, a calculation step S2 is performed: the electronic control unit 60 calculates an estimated temperature of the coolant based on the output power adjustment information. Specifically, fuel cells can draw characteristic curves related to data such as power, efficiency, and temperature based on their properties. The electronic control unit 60 has a built-in calculation formula set based on the above characteristic curve. After receiving the output power adjustment information, the electronic control unit 60 can calculate the estimated temperature of the coolant based on the current output power of the fuel cell system 10. The aforementioned equation is used to calculate the amount of heat currently dissipated by the fuel cell system 10 through the coolant. The target output value is then used to calculate the amount of heat that the fuel cell system 10 will need to dissipate through the coolant after the output power changes. The difference between the two values is then used to calculate the excess waste heat generated by the fuel cell system 10 due to the increased output power. The coolant temperature rise after the output power increase is then estimated using the coolant flow rate and current temperature.
其中,冷卻液當前流經該燃料電池系統10後的溫度可透過設置溫度感測器得到,並傳送至該電子控制單元60;冷卻液的流量則可透過於流路中裝設流量感測器進行感測,並將感測到的資訊傳送至該電子控制單元60,或者,可透過該電子控制單元60接收前述冷卻水泵21的轉速資訊,透過所述冷卻水泵21的轉速推估得到冷卻液的流量,抑或者,所述冷卻水泵21可選用轉速固定的水泵,上述方式皆能讓該電子控制單元60得到冷卻液的流量,並搭配前述計算出的多餘廢熱量、冷卻液當前流經該燃料電池系統10後的溫度,從而計算得到該預估溫度。The temperature of the coolant after it passes through the fuel cell system 10 can be obtained by installing a temperature sensor and transmitted to the electronic control unit 60. The coolant flow rate can be sensed by installing a flow sensor in the flow path, and the sensed information can be transmitted to the electronic control unit 60. Alternatively, the electronic control unit 60 can receive speed information of the cooling water pump 21 and estimate the coolant flow rate based on the speed of the cooling water pump 21. Alternatively, the cooling water pump 21 can be a pump with a fixed speed. All of the above methods allow the electronic control unit 60 to obtain the coolant flow rate and, combined with the calculated excess waste heat and the temperature of the coolant after it passes through the fuel cell system 10, calculate the estimated temperature.
隨後進行一判斷步驟S3:該電子控制單元60判斷冷卻液的預估溫度是否介於一預設的溫度區間;在計算出該預估溫度後,該電子控制單元60進行邏輯運算,判斷該預估溫度是否超出該電子控制單元60內預先儲存的該溫度區間,藉以決定冷卻液的流向,讓冷卻液能在適當的時間經由適當的散熱途徑散熱。A determination step S3 is then performed: the electronic control unit 60 determines whether the estimated temperature of the coolant is within a preset temperature range. After calculating the estimated temperature, the electronic control unit 60 performs a logical operation to determine whether the estimated temperature exceeds the temperature range pre-stored in the electronic control unit 60. This determines the flow direction of the coolant, allowing the coolant to dissipate heat through the appropriate heat dissipation path at the appropriate time.
如圖4A及圖4B所示,當判斷出該預估溫度介於該溫度區間時,則進行一強制冷卻步驟S4:該電子控制單元60控制該電磁閥組件50,使冷卻液自該燃料電池系統10通過該第一熱交換模組30後,通過設於該低溫貨廂91內的該第二熱交換模組40而重新流回該燃料電池系統10;當該預估溫度介於該溫度區間時,代表冷卻液後續通過該燃料電池系統10後的溫度與當前通過該燃料電池系統10後的溫度差異不大,如圖5所示,此時該電子控制單元60發出電訊號控制該第一電磁閥51及該第二電磁閥52,使冷卻液通過該第一熱交換模組30降溫後,通過該第二熱交換模組40,透過該低溫貨廂91內低溫的空氣對流經該第二熱交換單元41的冷卻液進行降溫;藉此,在冷卻液常規地透過該第一熱交換模組30降溫後,進一步透過該低溫貨廂91內的該第二熱交換模組40降溫,強制將冷卻液的溫度快速冷卻,而後再讓冷卻液重新對該燃料電池系統10進行散熱,可有效將該燃料電池系統10的工作溫度維持在較低溫。As shown in FIG4A and FIG4B, when it is determined that the estimated temperature is within the temperature range, a strong cooling step S4 is performed: the electronic control unit 60 controls the electromagnetic valve assembly 50 to allow the coolant to flow from the fuel cell system 10 through the first heat exchange module 30, and then through the second heat exchange module 40 located in the low-temperature cargo compartment 91 and flow back to the fuel cell system 10; when the estimated temperature is within the temperature range, it means that the temperature of the coolant after passing through the fuel cell system 10 is not much different from the temperature after passing through the fuel cell system 10. As shown in FIG5, the electronic control unit 60 generates an electric current. The signal controls the first solenoid valve 51 and the second solenoid valve 52, allowing the coolant to cool down after passing through the first heat exchange module 30. The coolant then passes through the second heat exchange module 40, where it is cooled by the low-temperature air within the low-temperature compartment 91. In this way, after the coolant is normally cooled by passing through the first heat exchange module 30, it is further cooled by passing through the second heat exchange module 40 within the low-temperature compartment 91, forcing the coolant to cool down rapidly. The coolant can then be used to dissipate heat from the fuel cell system 10 again, effectively maintaining the operating temperature of the fuel cell system 10 at a relatively low temperature.
如圖4A所示,當該電子控制單元60判斷出該預估溫度不介於該溫度區間時,則進行一常態冷卻步驟S5:該電子控制單元60控制該電磁閥組件50,使冷卻液通過該第一熱交換模組30後,不通過該第二熱交換模組40而流回該燃料電池系統10;當該預估溫度超出該溫度區間時,代表冷卻液後續通過該燃料電池系統10後的溫度上升較多,如圖6所示,此時該電子控制單元60發出電訊號控制該第一電磁閥51及該第二電磁閥52,使冷卻液通過該第一熱交換模組30降溫後,直接流回該燃料電池系統10而不通過該第二熱交換模組40;藉此,在冷卻液預估升溫較大的情況下,常規地透過該第一熱交換模組30散熱,避免該低溫貨廂91內的溫度因較高溫的冷卻液而過度上升。As shown in FIG4A , when the electronic control unit 60 determines that the estimated temperature is not within the temperature range, a normal cooling step S5 is performed: the electronic control unit 60 controls the electromagnetic valve assembly 50 so that the coolant passes through the first heat exchange module 30 and then flows back to the fuel cell system 10 without passing through the second heat exchange module 40. When the estimated temperature exceeds the temperature range, it means that the temperature of the coolant will rise more after passing through the fuel cell system 10. As shown in FIG6 , the electronic control unit 60 now sends an electrical signal to control the first solenoid valve 51 and the second solenoid valve 52, causing the coolant to cool through the first heat exchange module 30 and then flow directly back to the fuel cell system 10 without passing through the second heat exchange module 40. In this way, if the coolant temperature is expected to rise significantly, heat is normally dissipated through the first heat exchange module 30, preventing the temperature in the low-temperature cargo compartment 91 from excessively rising due to the higher-temperature coolant.
根據上述內容,本發明的燃料電池冷卻系統,以及透過其進行的燃料電池控溫方法,在平時該燃料電池系統10的輸出功率維持恆定或是小範圍調整時,冷卻液通過常規的該第一熱交換模組30降溫後,進一步透過設於該低溫貨廂91內的該第二熱交換模組40強制降溫,將冷卻液控制在較低溫的狀態,當該燃料電池系統10的輸出功率大幅提升時,較低溫的冷卻液能有效將該燃料電池系統10因輸出功率提升而產生的多餘廢熱快速轉移,藉此該燃料電池系統10的工作溫度能受控制而不致上升過快,從而該燃料電池系統10可以維持良好的運作效率、發揮其優秀的電能及熱能效益。According to the above, the fuel cell cooling system of the present invention and the fuel cell temperature control method thereof, when the output power of the fuel cell system 10 is kept constant or adjusted within a small range, the coolant is cooled by the conventional first heat exchange module 30 and then forced to cool by the second heat exchange module 40 located in the low-temperature compartment 91, so that the coolant is controlled at a relatively low temperature. When the output power of the fuel cell system 10 is significantly increased, the coolant at a relatively low temperature can effectively and quickly transfer the excess waste heat generated by the increased output power of the fuel cell system 10. This allows the operating temperature of the fuel cell system 10 to be controlled and prevent it from rising too quickly, thereby maintaining good operating efficiency and achieving excellent electrical and thermal benefits.
此外,在該燃料電池系統10的輸出功率大幅提升後,該電子控制單元60的判斷機制使冷卻液不再藉由該低溫貨廂91內的該第二熱交換模組40降溫,從而防止該低溫貨廂91的溫度因高溫的冷卻液而過度上升,避免該低溫貨廂91內需要低溫儲存的物品毀損,讓本發明在不影響該低溫貨廂91之功能的前提下,利用該低溫貨廂91的低溫輔助將冷卻液冷卻降溫。Furthermore, after the output power of the fuel cell system 10 is significantly increased, the judgment mechanism of the electronic control unit 60 causes the coolant to no longer be cooled by the second heat exchange module 40 within the low-temperature compartment 91. This prevents the temperature of the low-temperature compartment 91 from excessively rising due to the high-temperature coolant, thereby avoiding damage to items requiring low-temperature storage within the low-temperature compartment 91. This allows the present invention to utilize the low temperature of the low-temperature compartment 91 to assist in cooling the coolant without affecting the function of the low-temperature compartment 91.
如圖2及圖3所示,在本發明較佳實施例中,該冷卻系統還包含有一調節閥71,該調節閥71設於該冷卻液循環管路上,且位於該第二電磁閥52與該燃料電池系統10之間,該調節閥71電性連接該電子控制單元60,能受該電子控制單元60控制而調節冷卻液自一冷卻液儲室進入該冷卻液循環管路,並流向該燃料電池系統10的流量;由於車用的冷卻液儲室屬於現有技術,就不在圖式中繪出並不多加贅述。As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cooling system further includes a regulating valve 71. The regulating valve 71 is disposed on the coolant circulation line and located between the second solenoid valve 52 and the fuel cell system 10. The regulating valve 71 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 60 and can be controlled by the electronic control unit 60 to regulate the flow of coolant from a coolant storage chamber into the coolant circulation line and to the fuel cell system 10. Since the coolant storage chamber used in a vehicle is a conventional technology, it is not shown in the drawings and will not be described in detail.
如圖4A及圖4B,在上述的燃料電池控溫方法中,於該強制冷卻步驟S4及該常態冷卻步驟S5後分別進行一第一散熱調節步驟S4A及一第二散熱調節步驟S5A:根據該預估溫度調整散熱能力;具體來說,該第一散熱調節步驟S4A、第二散熱調節步驟S5A皆包含:根據該預估溫度啟動該調節閥71,以調節冷卻液流向該燃料電池系統10的流量;該電子控制單元60計算出冷卻液所需吸收的多餘廢熱量後,透過電訊號控制該調節閥71,以調節冷卻液流向該燃料電池系統10的流量,藉以調整對該燃料電池系統10的散熱能力,從而更有效地控制該燃料電池系統10的工作溫度。As shown in FIG4A and FIG4B, in the above-mentioned fuel cell temperature control method, after the strong cooling step S4 and the normal cooling step S5, a first heat dissipation adjustment step S4A and a second heat dissipation adjustment step S5A are respectively performed: the heat dissipation capacity is adjusted according to the estimated temperature; specifically, the first heat dissipation adjustment step S4A and the second heat dissipation adjustment step S5A both include: starting the A regulating valve 71 regulates the flow of coolant to the fuel cell system 10. The electronic control unit 60 calculates the amount of excess waste heat required to be absorbed by the coolant and then controls the regulating valve 71 via an electrical signal to adjust the flow of coolant to the fuel cell system 10. This adjusts the heat dissipation capacity of the fuel cell system 10, thereby more effectively controlling the operating temperature of the fuel cell system 10.
如圖4A及圖4B所示,進一步,在本發明較佳實施例中,於該強制冷卻步驟S4後,該電子控制單元60重新進行前述的接收資訊步驟S1,重新接收該燃料電池系統10的輸出功率調整資訊,藉此,該電子控制單元60能即時對應該燃料電池系統10的輸出功率調整而不斷調整冷卻液的冷卻機制,讓冷卻液能更迅速且即時地將該燃料電池系統10產生的多餘廢熱轉移,進一步讓該燃料電池系統10能以更佳的效率運行。As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the forced cooling step S4, the electronic control unit 60 re-performs the aforementioned information receiving step S1 to re-receive the output power adjustment information of the fuel cell system 10. In this way, the electronic control unit 60 can instantly adjust the cooling mechanism of the coolant in response to the output power adjustment of the fuel cell system 10, allowing the coolant to more quickly and immediately transfer excess waste heat generated by the fuel cell system 10, thereby allowing the fuel cell system 10 to operate with better efficiency.
在本發明較佳實施例中,該第二熱交換模組40的第二風扇42係為一轉速可調之風扇,該第二風扇42與該電子控制單元60電性連接,且能受該電子控制單元60控制而調整其轉速,具體地,如圖4B所示,該第一散熱調節步驟S4A還包含:根據該預估溫度調整該第二熱交換模組40之風扇的轉速;該電子控制單元60計算出冷卻液所需吸收的多餘廢熱量後,可調節該第二風扇42的轉速,以調整冷卻液經過該第二熱交換模組40時的降溫效率,讓冷卻液能在該第二熱交換模組40有效地降溫並重新流回該燃料電池系統10,提高對該燃料電池系統10的散熱能力,更穩定地控制該燃料電池系統10的工作溫度。In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second fan 42 of the second heat exchange module 40 is a fan with adjustable speed. The second fan 42 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 60 and can be controlled by the electronic control unit 60 to adjust its speed. Specifically, as shown in FIG4B , the first heat dissipation adjustment step S4A further includes: adjusting the speed of the fan of the second heat exchange module 40 according to the estimated temperature; After calculating the excess waste heat required to be absorbed by the coolant, the control unit 60 adjusts the speed of the second fan 42 to adjust the cooling efficiency of the coolant as it passes through the second heat exchange module 40. This allows the coolant to be effectively cooled in the second heat exchange module 40 and flow back into the fuel cell system 10, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the fuel cell system 10 and more stably controlling the operating temperature of the fuel cell system 10.
在本發明較佳實施例中,該第一熱交換模組30的第一風扇32亦為一轉速可調之風扇,該第一風扇32與該電子控制單元60電性連接,且能受該電子控制單元60控制而調整其轉速,具體地,如圖4A及圖4B所示,該第一散熱調節步驟S4A、該第二散熱調節步驟S5A還包含:根據該預估溫度調整該第一熱交換模組30之風扇的轉速;該電子控制單元60計算出冷卻液所需吸收的多餘廢熱量後,調節該第一風扇32的轉速,以調整冷卻液經過該第一熱交換模組30時的降溫效率,可如同該第二風扇42,更穩定地控制該燃料電池系統10的工作溫度。In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first fan 32 of the first heat exchange module 30 is also a fan with adjustable speed. The first fan 32 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 60 and can be controlled by the electronic control unit 60 to adjust its speed. Specifically, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the first heat dissipation adjustment step S4A and the second heat dissipation adjustment step S5A further include: adjusting the speed of the fan of the first heat exchange module 30 according to the estimated temperature; after the electronic control unit 60 calculates the excess waste heat that the coolant needs to absorb, it adjusts the speed of the first fan 32 to adjust the cooling efficiency of the coolant when passing through the first heat exchange module 30. Like the second fan 42, it can more stably control the operating temperature of the fuel cell system 10.
如圖4A及圖4B所示,如同前述,該第一散熱調節步驟S4A及該第二散熱調節步驟S5A包含:根據該預估溫度啟動該調節閥71以調節冷卻液的流量、根據該預估溫度調整該第一風扇32的轉速、根據該預估溫度調整該第二風扇42的轉速等操作細節,而在進行該第一散熱調節步驟S4A及該第二散熱調節步驟S5A時,可根據該預估溫度決定進行其中一項操作細節或是同時進行所有操作細節,在此不多作限制。As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, as described above, the first heat dissipation adjustment step S4A and the second heat dissipation adjustment step S5A include: starting the regulating valve 71 to adjust the flow rate of the coolant according to the estimated temperature, adjusting the speed of the first fan 32 according to the estimated temperature, adjusting the speed of the second fan 42 according to the estimated temperature, and other operational details. When performing the first heat dissipation adjustment step S4A and the second heat dissipation adjustment step S5A, it can be determined based on the estimated temperature whether to perform one of the operational details or all of the operational details simultaneously, and no further restrictions are imposed here.
