Abstract
The economy and stability of the hydrogen recirculation system in high-power fuel cells significantly impact the performance of the stack system. However, there is no consensus on the optimal hydrogen recirculation mode to be employed. To determine the most effective solution across the entire power range of the stack, this study compares the performance of various coupling modes. The dynamic performance variations of the system were investigated under different modes by the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The simulation results demonstrated that within the low and medium power range of the stack, the PUE (Pump Upstream of Ejector) mode had the lowest power consumption of all modes, at 112 W. The power of the PUE mode had a reduction of 56.3% compared to the full-power single hydrogen pump mode, and a reduction of 22.8% compared to the PDE (Pump Downstream of Ejector) mode.
