The first metal hydride heat exchanger 1, the electrochemical compressor 3 and the second metal hydride heat exchanger 2 are connected in sequence through a hydrogen pipeline 5 to form a hydrogen circulation loop. The heat pipe is provided with a first section 61, a second section 62 and a third section 63, the first section 61 and the third section 63 of the heat pipe are used for communicating the first metal hydride heat exchanger 1 and the terminal heat exchanger 4, the second section 62 and the third section 63 of the heat pipe are used for communicating the second metal hydride heat exchanger 2 and the terminal heat exchanger 4, the electromagnetic three-way valve 7 comprises a first interface, a second interface, a third interface, a first valve position and a second valve position, the first valve position is used for communicating the first interface with the third interface, the second valve position is used for communicating the second interface with the third interface, the first interface is connected with the first section 61 of the heat pipe, the second interface is connected with the second section 62 of the heat pipe, and the third interface is connected with the third section 63 of the heat pipe.
When a forward voltage is applied to the electrochemical compressor 3, the first metal hydride heat exchanger 1 absorbs heat to generate a hydrogen discharge reaction, hydrogen is diffused into the second metal hydride heat exchanger 2 through a hydrogen pipeline, the hydrogen concentration at the end of the second metal hydride heat exchanger 2 is gradually increased, the internal pressure of the metal hydride heat exchanger is increased, and therefore the second metal hydride heat exchanger 2 generates a hydrogen absorption reaction to discharge heat.
At this time, the electromagnetic three-way valve 7 opens the first valve, closes the second valve, that is, the first metal hydride heat exchanger 1 and the terminal heat exchanger 4 are communicated, the terminal heat exchanger 4 end of the third section 63 of the heat pipe is an evaporation end, the first metal hydride heat exchanger 1 end of the first section 61 of the heat pipe is a cooling end, after the evaporation end receives heat from the indoor environment, the working liquid evaporates and absorbs the heat, and then the vapor diffuses to the cooling section of the heat pipe, the first metal hydride heat exchanger 1 at the cooling end of the heat pipe absorbs the heat of the vapor in the heat pipe, so that the vapor in the heat pipe liquefies and becomes the working liquid, and the working liquid flows back to the evaporation end under the action of capillary force of the heat pipe, thereby completing one cycle.
When the electrochemical compressor 3 applies negative pressure, the second metal hydride heat exchanger 2 absorbs heat to generate a hydrogen discharge reaction, hydrogen diffuses into the first metal hydride heat exchanger 1 through a hydrogen pipeline, the hydrogen concentration at the end of the first metal hydride heat exchanger 1 is gradually increased, the internal pressure of the metal hydride heat exchanger is increased, and therefore the first metal hydride heat exchanger 1 generates a hydrogen absorption reaction and releases heat.
At this time, the electromagnetic three-way valve 7 should open the second valve and close the first valve, that is, the second metal hydride heat exchanger 2 and the terminal heat exchanger 4 are communicated, the terminal heat exchanger end of the third section 63 of the heat pipe is an evaporation end, and the second metal hydride heat exchanger 2 end of the second section 62 of the heat pipe is a cooling end, and the working principle thereof is the same as that of the heat pipe, and will not be described herein again.
Referring to fig. 2, in order to accurately determine the turning timing of the electrochemical compressor, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for an electrochemical refrigeration system, where the control method includes:
s101, obtaining a first pressure value in a first metal hydride heat exchanger, a second pressure value in a second metal hydride heat exchanger, a set temperature value and an indoor environment temperature value;
s102, obtaining a pressure difference value between a first pressure value and a second pressure value, if the pressure difference value is smaller than a first preset pressure value and an indoor environment temperature value is smaller than a set temperature value, controlling the electrochemical compressor to reverse firstly and then stop, and controlling the electromagnetic three-way valve to reverse;
and S103, continuously acquiring a new indoor environment temperature value, and if the new indoor environment temperature value is greater than a first preset temperature value, controlling the electrochemical compressor to start and operate, wherein the first preset temperature value is greater than a set temperature value.
The electrochemical compressor applies positive pressure, and the electromagnetic three-way valve opens the first valve and closes the second valve. The first metal hydride heat exchanger can be provided with a first pressure detection device for obtaining a pressure value in the first metal hydride heat exchanger and recording the pressure value as a first pressure value, the second metal hydride heat exchanger can be provided with a second pressure detection device for obtaining a pressure value in the second metal hydride heat exchanger and recording the pressure value as a second pressure value, and a temperature value set by a user and an indoor environment temperature value are obtained, wherein the indoor environment temperature value is obtained by arranging the temperature detection device indoors.
And obtaining a pressure difference value between the first pressure value and the second pressure value, wherein the pressure difference value can be used for judging whether the reactants in the first metal hydride heat exchanger and the second metal hydride heat exchanger completely react at the moment.
As an example, the first metal hydride heat exchanger absorbs heat to generate hydrogen discharge reaction, the hydrogen gas is transported to the second metal hydride heat exchanger through the electrochemical compressor, the pressure of the second metal hydride heat exchanger is gradually increased, the first pressure value is kept unchanged, the second pressure value is gradually increased, and the pressure difference between the first pressure value and the second pressure value is gradually increased. When the pressure difference value is larger than a certain value, the metal hydride in the second metal hydride heat exchanger starts to perform hydrogen absorption reaction, the hydrogen in the second metal hydride heat exchanger starts to decrease, namely the second pressure value starts to decrease, and the first pressure value is still maintained, so that the pressure difference value starts to decrease. When the pressure difference value is reduced to be smaller than a preset value, namely the reactant of the first metal hydride heat exchanger is completely reacted and can not be reacted any more, and the indoor environment temperature value is smaller than a set temperature value, namely the indoor environment temperature is lower than the temperature set by a user, the electrochemical compressor is controlled to be reversed and then stopped, wherein the reversing of the electrochemical compressor is controlled to ensure that the electrochemical compressor can continue to react and absorb heat, the electrochemical compressor is controlled to be stopped, the indoor environment temperature value is increased again, the situation that the indoor environment temperature value is too much and is lower than the temperature set by the user is avoided, and when the electrochemical compressor is reversed, the electromagnetic three-way valve is controlled to be reversed to keep the air conditioner in a continuous refrigeration state, namely the second metal hydride heat exchanger and the terminal heat exchanger are communicated.
In the process, the electrochemical compressor is not started, the indoor environment temperature rises again, and the electrochemical compressor is started to operate until the indoor environment temperature rises again to the first preset temperature value. The first preset temperature value may be equal to the set temperature value plus a value, for example: the set temperature value is increased by 3. The first preset temperature value is set, when the temperature sensor detects that the indoor environment temperature value is equal to the set value, the change range of the temperature value from being smaller than the set value to being equal to the set value is very small, and the controller cannot recognize the change of the temperature value, so that a numerical value is required to be added on the basis of the set value, and the controller can easily recognize the temperature value. Meanwhile, if the first preset value is larger than the set value, the indoor environment temperature value can have a temperature return process, compared with the situation that the temperature return process is not carried out, the electrochemical compressor is started again, the electrochemical compressor can work for a period of time and then stops, and the telephone compressor is protected.
Optionally, the control method for the electrochemical refrigeration system further comprises:
s201, if the pressure difference value is smaller than a first preset pressure value and the indoor environment temperature value is larger than or equal to a set temperature value, controlling the electrochemical compressor to operate in a reversing mode, and reversing the electromagnetic three-way valve.
And if the pressure difference value between the first pressure value and the second pressure value is smaller than the first preset pressure value, the metal hydride in the first metal hydride heat exchanger and/or the second metal hydride heat exchanger completely reacts at the moment, and the reaction can not be continued. And at the moment, the temperature value of the indoor environment is greater than or equal to the set temperature value, namely, the electrochemical air conditioner can continue to refrigerate at the moment. The electrochemical compressor is controlled to operate in a reversing mode, namely the first metal hydride heat exchanger changes from absorbing heat and releasing hydrogen into releasing heat and absorbing hydrogen, the second metal hydride heat exchanger changes from absorbing heat and releasing hydrogen into absorbing heat and releasing hydrogen, and in order to continuously refrigerate, the electromagnetic three-way valve is also reversed to communicate the second metal hydride heat exchanger with the terminal heat exchanger.
Referring to fig. 3, the control method for the electrochemical refrigeration system further includes:
s301, if the pressure difference value is greater than or equal to a first preset pressure value and the indoor environment temperature value is less than a set temperature value, controlling the electrochemical compressor to stop;
s302, controlling the electrochemical compressor to start up and operate until the indoor environment temperature value is greater than a first preset temperature value.
If the pressure difference between the first pressure value and the second pressure value is larger than or equal to the first preset pressure value, the metal hydride in the first metal hydride heat exchanger and the second metal hydride heat exchanger can continue to react. And if the indoor environment temperature value is less than the set temperature value, controlling the electrochemical compressor to stop, so that the indoor environment temperature can have a temperature return process until the indoor environment temperature value is greater than a first preset temperature value, namely the indoor environment temperature value returns to a certain temperature value, and controlling the electrochemical compressor to start to operate when the electrochemical air conditioner continues to refrigerate.
Optionally, the control method for the electrochemical refrigeration system further comprises:
s401, if the pressure difference value is larger than or equal to a first preset pressure value, and the indoor environment temperature value is larger than or equal to a set temperature value, controlling the electrochemical compressor to normally operate.
The metal hydride in the first metal hydride heat exchanger and the second metal hydride heat exchanger can also continue to react if the pressure difference between the first pressure and the second pressure is greater than or equal to the first predetermined pressure value. And the indoor environment temperature value is greater than or equal to the set temperature value, namely the indoor environment temperature value is not reduced to the set temperature value, the electrochemical compressor is controlled to normally operate.
Referring to fig. 4, the control method for the electrochemical refrigeration system includes:
s501, performing steering control according to the pressure difference value and a first preset pressure value under the condition that only hydrogen releasing reaction occurs and hydrogen absorbing reaction does not occur;
s502, obtaining the content of the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger with the hydrogen absorption reaction under the condition that the pressure difference value is in positive correlation with the content of the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger with the hydrogen absorption reaction;
s503, if the content of the metal hydride is less than a first preset metal hydride content value, and the indoor environment temperature value is less than the set temperature value, controlling the electrochemical compressor to switch over firstly and then stop, and switching over by the electromagnetic three-way valve;
and S504, controlling the electrochemical compressor to start up and operate until the new indoor environment temperature value is greater than a first preset temperature value, wherein the first preset temperature value is greater than the set temperature value.
As an example, the second metal hydride heat exchanger performs an exothermic hydrogen absorption reaction, and after the second metal hydride heat exchanger starts the hydrogen absorption reaction, the content of the metal hydride in the second metal hydride heat exchanger gradually decreases, and from the beginning of the hydrogen absorption reaction in the second metal hydride heat exchanger, the pressure difference starts to decrease, that is, the hydrogen absorption reaction starts to occur, and the pressure difference is in positive correlation with the content of the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger performing the hydrogen absorption reaction.
Alternatively, after the hydrogen absorption reaction starts to occur, the turning timing of the electrochemical compressor can be judged not only by the pressure difference value, but also by the content of the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger where the hydrogen absorption reaction occurs.
According to the electrochemical refrigeration system provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the metal hydride detection elements can be respectively installed in the first metal hydride heat exchanger and the second metal hydride heat exchanger, the content of the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger which generates the hydrogen absorption reaction can be detected, and the content in both the two metal hydride heat exchangers can also be detected.
If the content of the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger in which the hydrogen absorption reaction occurs is less than the first preset metal hydride content value, the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger in which the hydrogen absorption reaction occurs can not continue to react. And the indoor environment temperature value is smaller than the set temperature value, namely the indoor environment temperature value is lower than the temperature value set by the user. The electrochemical compressor is controlled to change the direction of the hydrogen gas flow and then stop, the change is to change the reaction of the first metal hydride heat exchanger and the second metal hydride heat exchanger for exchange, and the stop is to return the indoor environment temperature.
And controlling the starting operation of the electrochemical compressor until the indoor environment temperature value is greater than the first preset temperature value, namely the environment temperature value has a rising trend along with the temperature return.
By the control mode, the time for determining the turning of the electrochemical compressor is realized, the electrochemical compressor is reversed when the electrochemical compressor cannot react, the electrochemical compressor is protected, and meanwhile, energy is saved.
Optionally, the control method for the electrochemical refrigeration system further comprises:
s601, if the content of the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger in which the hydrogen absorption reaction occurs is less than the first preset metal hydride content and the indoor environment temperature value is greater than or equal to the set temperature value, controlling the electrochemical compressor to perform reversing operation and controlling the three-way valve to reverse.
If the content of the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger in which the hydrogen absorption reaction occurs is less than the first preset metal hydride content, the metal hydride in the metal hydride heat exchanger in which the hydrogen absorption reaction occurs can not continue to react. And the indoor environment temperature value is greater than or equal to the set temperature value, namely the indoor environment temperature value does not reach the temperature value set by the user. The electrochemical compressor is controlled to run in a reversing way, and the three-way valve is controlled to reverse.
Optionally, the first preset pressure value is determined according to the content of the metal hydride heat exchanger and the indoor environment temperature value.
The content of the metal hydride heat exchanger is different, and the generated hydrogen is different, so that the first pressure value and the second pressure value are different, and the pressure difference value is different. If the indoor environment temperature values are different, the metal hydride reaction efficiency will be different, so the first preset pressure value can be determined according to the content of the metal hydride heat exchanger and the indoor environment temperature value.
As shown in fig. 5, the control device for the electrochemical refrigeration system includes a first obtaining module 51, a second obtaining module 52 and a control module 53. The first obtaining module 51 is configured to obtain a first pressure value in the first metal hydride heat exchanger, a second pressure value in the second metal hydride heat exchanger, a set temperature value, and an indoor ambient temperature value; the second obtaining module 52 is configured to obtain a pressure difference between the first pressure value and the second pressure value, and if the pressure difference is smaller than a first preset pressure value and the indoor environment temperature value is smaller than a set temperature value, control the electrochemical compressor to switch over first and then stop, and switch over the electromagnetic three-way valve; the control module 53 is configured to control the electrochemical compressor to start up until the new indoor ambient temperature value is greater than a first preset temperature value, wherein the first preset temperature value is greater than a set temperature value.
