FCEV uses electric energy which generated from the reaction between Hydrogen and Oxygen in fuel cell stack as driving force. As fossil fuels are exhausted, fuel cell is regarded as a potent substitute for next generation energy source, and thus, most of car-makers make every efforts to develop fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). In addition, fuel cell is also beneficial in aspect of environment, because only clean water is produced during chemical reaction process instead of harmful exhausted gas. Generally, Hydrogen is supplied from high-pressured fuel tank, and air blower (or compressor) supply Oxygen by pressurizing ambient air. Air blower which is driven by high speed motor consumes about $7{\sim}8$ % of energy generated from fuel cell stack. Therefore, the efficiency of an air blower is directly linked with the performance of FCEV. This study will present the development process of an air blower and its consisting parts respectively.

This paper presents dynamic analysis of FCEV(fuel cell electric vehicle) turbo blower. To analyze the dynamic characteristics of turbo blower, FEA(finite element analysis) and experimental test are performed. Evaluations of stress safety for rotor sleeve and impeller due to rotational force and shrink fit are performed. Rotor dynamic analysis is conducted by Campbell diagram and structure vibration analyses are performed using FEA and experimental test. Through these results, noise sources of turbo blower are verified.

본 연구에서는 정익과 동익간의 축방향 간격을 달리하여 축류형 터빈에서의 성능시험을 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 터빈은 저압저속터빈으로써 평균반경에서 반동도가 0.373이며 축류형 3차원 단단터빈이다. 터빈의 평균반경 직경은 257.56mm이며 평균반경에서 동익의 익현은 28.2mm이다. 성능시험을 위한 공기력 입력장치로는 풍동이 사용되었으며 풍동의 터보블로워 동력은 30kW로써 290mmAq의 정압력에서 $340m^3$/min의 공기량을 보낼 수 있다. 터빈에서의 회전수 및 출력은 터빈 축에 직결식으로 연결된 다이나모메터에서 제어되었다. 실험에서 축방향 간격조정은 평균반경에서의 정익 축방향 익현의 1/4에서 3배까지 변경하여 총 9개의 성능시험을 수행하였다. 같은 무차원 유량과 RPM에서 축방향의 간격에 따른 효율의 변화는 최대 8%이내지만 최고효율을 얻게되는 축방향 간격은 1.6-1.9Cx 였다.

Turbo-blower as an air supply system is one of the most important BOP (Balance of Plant) systems for FCV(Fuel Cell Vehicle). For generating and blowing compressed air, the motor of air blower consumes maximum 25% of net power, and fuel cell demands a clean air. In this study, turbo-blower supported by air foil bearings is introduced as the air supply system used by 80kW proton exchange membrane fuel systems. The turbo-blower is a turbo machine which operates at high speed, so air foil bearings suit their purpose as bearing elements. Analysis for confirming the stability and endurance is conducted. The rotordynamic stability was predicted using the numerical analysis of air foil bearings and it is verified through experimental works. In spite of various transient dynamic situation, the turbo-blower had stable performances. After the performance test, results are presented. The normal power of driving motor has about 1.6 kW with the 30,000 rpm operating range and the flow rate of air has maximum 160 SCFM. The test results show that the aerodymic performance and stability of turbo-blower are satisfied to the primary goals.

Blower as an air supply system is one of the most important BOP (Balance of Plant) system fur FCV(Fuel Cell Vehicle). For generating and blowing compressed air, the motor of air blower consumes maximum 25% of net power and fuel cell demands a clean air. Considering the efficiency of whole FCV, low friction lubrication of high speed rotor is needed. For the purpose of reducing electrical power and supplying clean air to Fuel cell, oil-free air foil bearings are applied at the each side of brushless motor (BLDC) as journal bearings which diameter is 50mm. The normal power of driving motor has 1.7kW with the 30,000rpm operating range and the flow rate of air has maximum 160 SCFM. The impeller of blower was adopted a mixed type of centrifugal and axial which has several advantages for variable operating condition. The performance of turbo-blower and parameters of air foil bearings was investigated analytically and experimentally. From this study, the performance of the blower was confirmed to be suitable far 80kw PEM FC.
