Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making any inventive effort based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid hydrogen storage system for transportation, the system comprising a liner 1, a housing 2 and a solid hydrogen storage assembly 3, wherein:
the inner container 1 is used for containing liquid hydrogen, the top of the inner container 1 is provided with a first outlet 11, and the first outlet 11 is positioned above the liquid level of the liquid hydrogen;
the shell 2 is sleeved outside the liner 1, and a second outlet 21 is formed in the top of the shell 2;
the solid hydrogen storage component 3 is arranged outside the shell 2 and is communicated with the first outlet 11 through a hydrogen absorption pipeline 4, the hydrogen absorption pipeline 4 passes through the second outlet 21, and the solid hydrogen storage component 3 is used for storing hydrogen generated by evaporation of liquid hydrogen in the transportation process of the liquid hydrogen storage system.
In this embodiment, the solid hydrogen storage component 3 is additionally arranged outside the housing 2 (i.e. the solid hydrogen storage component 3 is additionally arranged on the basis of the original liquid hydrogen storage tank), and is communicated with the first outlet 11 through the hydrogen absorption pipeline 4, the hydrogen absorption pipeline 4 passes through the second outlet 21, so that the solid hydrogen storage component 3 can be utilized to store the hydrogen generated by the evaporation of the liquid hydrogen in the transportation process of the liquid hydrogen storage system, active refrigeration is not needed in this way to recover the hydrogen, i.e. no complex and high-energy-consumption refrigeration equipment is needed, and the nondestructive storage time of the liquid hydrogen is prolonged only through a simple, reliable and low-energy-consumption solid hydrogen absorption scheme.
It will be appreciated that the manner in which the solid hydrogen storage module 3 stores hydrogen gas generated by evaporation of liquid hydrogen during transportation of the liquid hydrogen storage system may be physical adsorption (for example, adsorption using a solid hydrogen adsorbent hereinafter), or chemical reaction adsorption, and the specific storage manner is not limited herein.
In some embodiments, both the liner 1 and the outer shell 2 may take the form of a cold insulation of high vacuum + multi-layer insulation. The liquid hydrogen is loaded in the liner 1, and the outer surface of the liner 1 is coated with a plurality of layers of heat insulation materials so as to sufficiently reduce heat leakage caused by heat radiation. The shell 2 plays a supporting role on the liner 1, and the vacuum state is arranged between the shell 2 and the liner 1, so that the heat conduction and the heat convection of the gas between the liner 1 and the shell 2 are eliminated.
It will be appreciated that the exterior of the housing 2 is provided with a hydrogen gas discharge valve and a liquid hydrogen drain valve (neither shown) for the release of hydrogen gas and the filling and draining of liquid hydrogen. Since the liner 1 still inevitably has a small portion of heat leak, a part of liquid hydrogen is vaporized in the liner 1, thereby causing the gas pressure in the liner 1 to rise.
To avoid the bleeding of hydrogen gas caused when the pressure in the inner container 1 increases to the bleeding pressure over time, the inventors creatively found that: the vaporized hydrogen can be led out of the liner 1 to the solid hydrogen storage component 3 outside the shell 2, which greatly reduces the pressure increasing speed of the liner 1, thereby prolonging the nondestructive storage time of the liquid hydrogen storage tank (namely prolonging the time of transporting the liquid hydrogen storage tank by a freight vehicle and avoiding the loss of hydrogen in the transportation process). That is, the solid hydrogen storage component 3 is used as a part of the liquid hydrogen storage system, so that the liquid hydrogen in the liner 1 can be stored for a long time without damage, and the whole liquid hydrogen storage system can realize zero loss of hydrogen.
As shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, the system further includes:
the supporting structure 5 is connected between the liner 1 and the shell 2, and the hydrogen absorption pipeline 4 is wound on the outer surface of the supporting structure 5.
In this embodiment, the hydrogen absorption pipeline 4 is wound around the outer surface of the support structure 5, so that the support structure 5 can be cooled, and heat leakage caused by heat conduction of the support structure 5 to the liner 1 is further reduced, so that the liquid hydrogen in the liner 1 can be further prolonged to be stored for a long time without damage, and zero loss of hydrogen can be realized.
In some embodiments, the support structure 5 may be radial support and/or axial support.
As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the system further includes:
the middle shell 6 is sleeved between the liner 1 and the shell 2, the middle shell 6 is made of a metal material with a heat conductivity coefficient exceeding a first preset value, and the hydrogen absorption pipeline 4 is wound on the surface of the middle shell 6.
