Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electrolytic hydrogen production system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The invention provides an electrolytic hydrogen production system, which utilizes clean energy to carry out electrolytic hydrogen production and comprises an electrolytic tank 1, a heat exchanger 3, a gas-liquid separator 4, a heater 5, a flow pump 6 and a temperature detection assembly 7, wherein the electrolytic tank 1 is arranged on an electrolyte circulation loop, the electrolytic tank 1 is connected with a new energy power supply 2 to carry out electrolytic operation, the heat exchanger 3 can dissipate heat of electrolyte, the heater 5 can heat the electrolyte, the flow pump 6 can pump the electrolyte, and the temperature detection assembly 7 can detect the temperature of the electrolyte;
when the temperature detection assembly 7 judges that the temperature of the electrolyte is not less than the first preset temperature, the heat exchanger 3 is opened, the heater 5 is closed, and the electrolytic cell 1 is in a working state;
when the temperature detection assembly 7 judges that the temperature of the electrolyte is lower than the first preset temperature, the heat exchanger 3 is closed, the heater 5 is started, the temperature of the electrolyte is kept between the first preset temperature and a second preset temperature, the second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, and the electrolytic cell 1 is in a standby state.
By adopting the structure, the electrolytic cell 1 can normally electrolyze to produce hydrogen when clean energy is stable, the electrolytic cell is switched to a standby state when the clean energy is unstable, the electrolytic cell can be quickly started when the clean energy is stable again, and the clean energy is efficiently utilized.
The clean energy refers to renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy and the like, and correspondingly, the new energy power supply 2 may be photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation and the like, and the specific structure of the new energy power supply 2 and what clean energy to utilize are not limited in the invention.
When the new energy power supply 2 for generating electricity by utilizing clean energy can normally support the electrolytic cell 1 to carry out electrolytic hydrogen production operation, the heat exchanger 3, the gas-liquid separator 4, the flow pump 6 and the temperature detection assembly 7 all work normally, the heater 5 is closed, the generated hydrogen and oxygen are continuously output from the gas output port 41 of the gas-liquid separator 4 for circulation, and new electrolyte continuously enters into the circulation through the electrolyte input port 61 of the flow pump 6.
Because of the instability of clean energy, the new energy power supply 2 which utilizes the clean energy to generate electricity often cannot normally support the electrolytic cell 1 to perform the hydrogen production operation by electrolysis, after the electrolytic cell 1 stops hydrogen production by electrolysis, the temperature of the electrolyte is gradually reduced, when the temperature is reduced to be below a first preset temperature, the temperature detection assembly 7 can detect the temperature condition and send out a low-temperature signal to close the heat exchanger 3, open the heater 5 to heat the electrolyte, keep the temperature of the electrolyte to be above a second preset temperature and below the first preset temperature, and the electrolytic cell 1 can keep a standby state and can be quickly started at full power at any time.
Wherein, the first preset temperature is the lowest temperature in the normal working temperature range of the electrolytic cell 1, namely when the temperature of the electrolyte is lower than the temperature, the first preset temperature represents that the electrolytic cell 1 stops normal operation; the second preset temperature is the lowest temperature at which the electrolytic cell 1 can be started, i.e. when the temperature of the electrolyte is higher than the temperature, the electrolytic cell 1 can be started at full power at any time. For example, the normal operating temperature of the electrolytic cell 1 is 80 ℃ to 90 ℃, the minimum start-up temperature is 60 ℃, the first preset temperature is 80 ℃, and the second preset temperature is 60 ℃.
It is understood that the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature are changed according to factors such as the performance of the electrolytic cell 1 and the size of the electrolyte circulation loop, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be freely changed according to the situation in practical application.
The heater 5 in this embodiment is powered by an independent power supply to meet the heating requirements of the electrolyte. According to the measurement and calculation, an alkaline water electrolytic cell of 1500 cubic meters per hour is taken as a standard, the power consumption of the electrolytic cell 1 during normal work is 6300 kilowatt hours, and the power consumption of the electrolytic cell 1 during standby is 20 kilowatt hours, so that the method can obviously save energy sources, greatly improve the utilization rate of clean energy sources, and meanwhile, the electrolytic cell 1 does not need to be frequently changed alternately between high temperature and normal temperature, so that the service life of the electrolytic cell 1 is greatly prolonged.
Still include the pressure measurement subassembly in this embodiment, the pressure measurement subassembly can detect the pressure of electrolyte, if the pressure that detects electrolyte is less than preset pressure, then control flow pump 6 increases the pressure of electrolyte, and the pressure until electrolyte is not less than preset pressure.
The preset pressure is the lowest pressure required by the starting of the electrolytic cell 1, and the arrangement is to prevent the pressure of the electrolyte from being too low in the standby process of the electrolytic cell 1, so that the electrolytic cell 1 cannot be started quickly.
In the embodiment, the heat exchangers 3 are arranged between the gas-liquid separator 4 and the electrolytic bath 1 and between the gas-liquid separator 4 and the heater 5 so as to fully dissipate heat of the electrolyte.
The invention also provides an electrolytic hydrogen production method based on the electrolytic hydrogen production system, which comprises the following specific steps:
when the new energy power supply 2 can stably supply power to the electrolytic cell 1, the electrolyte is pumped into the electrolyte circulation loop through the flow pump 6, hydrogen and oxygen are generated through electrolysis of the electrolytic cell 1, the gas is separated out of the electrolyte circulation loop through the gas-liquid separator 4, the heat exchanger 3 is in an open state, the electrolyte dissipates heat through the heat exchanger 3 and is kept at a working temperature, and the electrolytic cell 1 is in a working state;
when the new energy power supply 2 cannot stably supply power to the electrolytic cell 1, the electrolytic cell 1 cannot carry out electrolysis, so that the temperature of the electrolyte is reduced, after the temperature detection assembly 7 detects that the temperature of the electrolyte is lower than a first preset temperature, the heat exchanger 3 is closed, the heater 5 is turned on, the electrolyte is heated, the temperature of the electrolyte is kept between the first preset temperature and a second preset temperature, and the electrolytic cell 1 is in a standby state;
when the temperature detecting component 7 detects that the temperature of the electrolyte rises back to be higher than the first preset temperature, the heater 5 is turned off, the heat exchanger 3 is turned on, and the electrolytic cell 1 works normally to electrolyze hydrogen.
By adopting the method, the utilization rate of clean energy can be improved.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
