Hydrogen fuel power ship cold energy comprehensive utilization system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ships, and particularly relates to a hydrogen fuel power ship cold energy comprehensive utilization system.
Background
With the stricter emission of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on ships, the traditional marine fuel oil with heavy pollution can not meet the requirements of people on the emission of the ships gradually, and the search for new alternative energy is becoming the focus of the research of the ship industry gradually.
Hydrogen is an ideal energy source, and is gradually highly regarded by the ship industry due to advantages of wide source, no pollution emission and the like, ships powered by hydrogen fuel are produced at the same time, and the ships powered by hydrogen fuel are referred to as 'hydrogen fuel powered ships'. At present, the ideal hydrogen fuel application mode on the ship is to utilize a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity and combine the hydrogen fuel cell with an electric propulsion system to form a power propulsion system of the ship. The hydrogen fuel cell uses hydrogen as a reducing agent and oxygen as an oxidizing agent, and when the cell operates, the product only contains water and no waste gas is discharged. The hydrogen fuel cell has various forms, wherein the hydrogen fuel cell is widely applied to the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, the energy conversion efficiency of the fuel cell reaches more than 60 percent, and the fuel cell has good performances of high power density, low noise and the like. The optimum operating temperature range for a pem fuel cell is 60 to 80 c, typically with a fuel cell hydrogen supply pressure of about 0.1 to 0.3 Mpa.
One of the raw materials required for hydrogen fuel cells is hydrogen gas, and therefore, in order to increase the storage capacity of hydrogen fuel on ships, a liquid hydrogen gas storage method is generally adopted. The liquefied hydrogen gas (liquid hydrogen) has high purity, and if the hydrogen gas after the liquid hydrogen gasification is adopted in the hydrogen fuel cell, the service life of the cell can be prolonged. The liquid hydrogen is at a temperature of-253 c and is typically stored in an insulated liquid hydrogen tank. Before the liquid hydrogen is used, the liquid hydrogen needs to be gasified to a higher temperature, the ship sails in the ocean, and the seawater around the ship is a natural cold source or a natural heat source, so that the seawater can be considered to be used for heating the liquid hydrogen. In the process of gasifying the liquid hydrogen, a large amount of usable cold energy is released, so that the cold energy can be used for a cold storage of the ship. In addition, hydrogen is flammable and explosive, and nitrogen is required to be inerted before hydrogen is introduced into a hydrogen fuel supply pipeline or when equipment such as the hydrogen fuel supply pipeline is maintained, so nitrogen preparation equipment is generally required to be arranged on a ship.
The other raw material required by the hydrogen fuel cell is oxygen, and the hydrogen fuel cell can also adopt air as the raw material because the content of the oxygen in the air is higher, but the air contains components which have influence on a proton exchange membrane and can influence the service life of the hydrogen fuel cell, so the hydrogen fuel cell adopting the oxygen as the raw material can achieve better effect. At present, the mode for preparing oxygen is cryogenic air separation, and oxygen in air is separated according to different boiling points of components in the air. The boiling point of oxygen in the air is-183 ℃, the boiling point of nitrogen is-196 ℃, and the boiling points are higher than the gasification temperature of liquid hydrogen, so if the cold energy contained in the liquid hydrogen can be used for separating the air to prepare the oxygen, the cost increase caused by carrying the oxygen from a departure port of a ship can be avoided.
The product of a hydrogen fuel cell is fresh water. Fresh water is an extremely important resource on ships, and the ships are usually provided with independent seawater desalination devices, but the seawater desalination devices need to consume a large amount of electric energy and heat energy of the ships, so if water generated by the hydrogen fuel cells is used as a source of the ship fresh water, the ship energy consumed by the seawater desalination devices on the ships can be saved.
In conclusion, if the cold energy contained in the hydrogen fuel on the liquid hydrogen power ship can be utilized to prepare oxygen and nitrogen, the refrigeration house is used for refrigeration, the fresh water generated by the hydrogen fuel cell is used for meeting the daily requirement of the ship, the energy utilization rate of the ship can be greatly improved, the economy of the ship is improved,

In the electric propulsion system, the electric energy generated by the hydrogen fuel cell drives the propulsion motor to work, and then drives the propeller to work through the propeller shaft.
In the fresh water collection system, the product water of the hydrogen fuel cell is at a higher temperature than the medium seawater in the first seawater heater and the second seawater heater, so the water produced by the hydrogen fuel cell is first split at node a into two parts, one part for heating the hydrogen gas in the first fresh water heater that has not yet reached the supply temperature and one part for heating the oxygen gas in the second fresh water heater that has not yet reached the supply temperature. The two parts of fresh water after heat release are merged at the node b and finally sent into a fresh water cabin of the ship for daily use of the ship.
Further, a small part of liquid nitrogen separated from the gravity separation tank is stored in the liquid nitrogen tank at a node c, and when the hydrogen fuel supply pipeline is maintained, the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen tank can be used for purging the hydrogen fuel supply pipeline so as to fulfill the aim of inerting the pipeline; most of the liquid nitrogen is sent into a precooling heat exchanger to exchange heat with air, the air to be separated is precooled, and the liquid nitrogen after heat absorption is changed into gas to be discharged into the atmosphere.

The above system can be divided into: the system comprises a hydrogen supply system, an air separation system, an oxygen supply system, a refrigeration house circulating system, an electric propulsion system and a fresh water collecting system.

The electric propulsion system comprises: a hydrogen fuel cell (8), a propulsion motor (13), a propeller shaft (14) and a propeller (15).
The fresh water collection system comprises: a fresh water pump (9).
The transfer pump (1) is positioned at the bottom of the liquid hydrogen tank and used for transferring the liquid hydrogen out of the liquid hydrogen tank for the hydrogen fuel cell (8).
In the hydrogen supply system, a lightering pump (1), an air separation heat exchanger (4), a first cold storage heat exchanger (5), a first seawater heater (6) and a first fresh water heater (7) are connected in sequence. Liquid hydrogen is conveyed out from a liquid hydrogen tank by a transfer pump (1), firstly exchanges heat with air in an air separation heat exchanger (4), then exchanges heat with a refrigerant A in a first refrigeration house heat exchanger (5), then exchanges heat with seawater in a first seawater heater (6) to heat and raise the temperature, exchanges heat with product water of a hydrogen fuel cell (8) in a first fresh water heater (7), finally reaches the supply temperature of hydrogen, and provides reducing agent hydrogen for the hydrogen fuel cell (8).
In the air separation system, air is compressed by a compressor (2), precooled in a precooling heat exchanger (3), purified and the like, exchanges heat with liquid hydrogen in an air separation heat exchanger (4), and finally enters a gravity separation tank. As the nitrogen in the air accounts for about 78 percent, the oxygen accounts for about 21 percent, and the liquid nitrogen and the liquid oxygen have different densities, the air can be separated under the action of gravity in the gravity separation tank, so that the liquid oxygen and the liquid nitrogen are prepared, and the prepared liquid nitrogen is adopted as a precooling medium in the precooling heat exchanger (3) for precooling the air.
In the oxygen supply system, liquid oxygen separated from the gravity separation tank exchanges heat with a refrigerant A through a second cold storage heat exchanger (10), then exchanges heat in a second seawater heater (11) and a second fresh water heater (12) in sequence to reach a proper oxygen supply temperature, and finally is supplied to a hydrogen fuel cell (8) to serve as an oxidant.
In the refrigeration house circulating system, under the action of the circulating pump (17), the refrigerant A firstly exchanges heat with liquid oxygen in the second refrigeration house heat exchanger (10), then enters the first refrigeration house heat exchanger (5) for heat exchange, and finally releases cold energy to goods in the refrigeration house in the third refrigeration house heat exchanger (16), so that the effect of refrigerating the goods in the ship refrigeration house is achieved, and the ship power consumed during the operation of the ship refrigeration house is saved.

In the fresh water collecting pipeline, the temperature of the product water of the hydrogen fuel cell (8) is higher than the temperature of the medium seawater in the first seawater heater (6) and the second seawater heater (11), so the water generated by the hydrogen fuel cell (8) firstly reaches a node a (a) under the action of the fresh water pump (9) and is divided into two parts at the node a (a), one part is used for heating the hydrogen which does not reach the supply temperature in the first fresh water heater (7), and the other part is used for heating the oxygen which does not reach the supply temperature in the second fresh water heater (12). The two parts of fresh water after heat release are merged at the node b (b) and finally sent into the fresh water cabin of the ship for daily use of the ship.
A small part of liquid nitrogen separated from the gravity separation tank is stored in a liquid nitrogen tank at a node c (c), and when the hydrogen fuel supply pipeline is maintained, the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen tank can be gasified into nitrogen gas for purging the hydrogen fuel supply pipeline so as to fulfill the aim of inerting the pipeline; most of the liquid nitrogen is sent into a precooling heat exchanger (3) to exchange heat with air, the air to be separated is precooled, and the liquid nitrogen after heat absorption is changed into gas to be discharged into the atmosphere. This is because less nitrogen is required to inertize the hydrogen fuel supply line.
