Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for valuating a heat dissipation capability of a test platform of hydrogen fuel cell system. A plurality of PTC heaters are connected in series or in parallel in a primary or secondary dispersion water loop to simulate the fuel cell system with different heating powers. A rotation speed of water pump and whether a PTC is operated are controlled, thereby implementing steady and dynamic tests, and a test for integrative operating condition, thereby avoiding a real machine test from controlling a plurality of parameters. Compared with the real machine of a fuel cell, it can better test the heat dissipation capability of the fuel cell system. During the operation, the device does not need to be supplied reaction gases to ensure the safety of the test. The primary and secondary dispersion tests can be performed separately or in parallel.
