A CNGV fuel supply system for storing low-temperature LNG and high-pressure CNG according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 6, where NG is english abbreviation of normal natural gas, LNG is english abbreviation of liquid natural gas, CNG is english abbreviation of gaseous natural gas, BOG is english abbreviation of dispersed gas, and CNGV is english abbreviation of natural gas vehicle.
The CNGV fuel supply system 100 storing cryogenic LNG and high-pressure CNG includes: the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1, the muffler 2, normal atmospheric temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 and gas end 4, low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 has first opening 11, and the one end of muffler 2 stretches into the inner chamber upside of low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 through first opening 11, and normal atmospheric temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 links to each other with the other end of muffler 2 in order to receive the compressed natural gas that low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 produced after the vaporization, and gas end 4 communicates with normal atmospheric temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 and low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 selectively respectively.
In some embodiments, the cryogenic high-pressure gas cylinder 1 may be a 65-liter seamless container capable of withstanding the use temperature of-162 ℃ and the bearing pressure of 60MPa, and the cryogenic high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is used for containing cryogenic liquid natural gas and gaseous natural gas, it is understood that the liquid natural gas is vaporized by heat, so that the cryogenic high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is not loaded with pure liquid natural gas but with a mixture of liquid natural gas and gaseous natural gas.
At present, the gas consumption of a small passenger vehicle CNGV in hundred kilometers is about 7 standard square. Converted into weight: 7 × 0.7174 is 5.0218 kg/hundred kilometers, so that the 500 kilometer gas consumption is 5 × 7 × 35 standard square natural gas, which is converted into 5 × 3500/625 × 56 liters of LNG volume, or into 25.1 kg of liquefied natural gas by weight. When the volume of the gas cylinder is selected, the requirement of the existing regulation is complied with, and the maximum filling amount of the liquefied natural gas is not more than 90 percent of the volume of the gas cylinder. The minimum volume of the cylinder was calculated to be 56/0.9-62.22 litres. And finally, 65 liters of low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinders 1 with the bearing pressure of 60MPa are selected, 56 liters of LNG are stored, and the small passenger car can be ensured to run for 500 kilometers.
When 25.1 kg of liquefied natural gas filled in the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is completely vaporized, namely 25.1 kg of liquefied natural gas is completely converted into gaseous natural gas in the 65L low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1, the formed highest pressure value is only 53.85MPa, and the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 can meet the requirements. In the actual use process, the liquefied natural gas is consumed continuously, the amount of the gaseous natural gas generated by actual vaporization is reduced, and the formed pressure is smaller than the highest bearing pressure of the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1.
It is worth mentioning that in the existing relevant standards for LNGV dewars for cryogenic lng, the lng is required to remain liquid for five days, with the aim of delaying the vaporization of the lng, reducing the release of bleed air, and reducing the pressure in the dewar, maintaining low gas consumption and safe operation of the vehicle. And the low temperature high pressure gas cylinder 1 in this application embodiment can maintain the low gas consumption and safe operation of the vehicle even if the carried liquefied natural gas is completely vaporized because of the high pressure that can be carried, so the low temperature high pressure gas cylinder 1 in this application embodiment need not maintain the liquid state of filling into LNG for a long time, and the heat-insulating property of the gas cylinder can be greatly simplified, and the manufacturing cost and the manufacturing difficulty can be reduced.
According to the CNGV fuel supply system 100 for storing low-temperature LNG and high-pressure CNG provided by the embodiment of the application, the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 is additionally arranged, so that vaporized gaseous natural gas in the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is specially stored, gas fuel can be stored in a shunting manner, and the pressure in the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is reduced.
According to the graph shown in fig. 3, the relation between the storage pressure and the density of the gaseous natural gas can be obtained, the volume of the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 can be calculated according to the graph, when the pressure is less than 20MPa, the pressure and the storage density of the gas cylinder are basically linearly related, and the speed of filling the gaseous natural gas into the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 is high; when the pressure is increased from 20MPa to 35MPa, the linear correlation between the pressure and the storage density is not formed, because the molecular weight of the natural gas is larger, the molecular number in the container is increased continuously in the compression process, the collision is aggravated, the volume cannot be reduced proportionally, the gas heating phenomenon is accompanied, the pressure is higher, the heating is more serious, the speed of filling the gaseous natural gas into the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 is reduced, after the pressure exceeds 35MPa, the heating is more serious, the storage density is increased more slowly, the storage efficiency is obviously reduced, and the speed of filling the gaseous natural gas into the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 is greatly reduced. Therefore, in view of the cost of manufacturing the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 and the efficiency of storing the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3, the storage pressure of the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 should not be too high, and the maximum limit value should be 35 MPa.
For ease of application, the curve shown in FIG. 3 may be converted to the relationship of storage pressure and density for gaseous natural gas as shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1
According to the data in table 1, under different working pressures, which can be calculated according to the formula (1-1),
V=m/ρ (1-1)
where V is the volume of the gaseous natural gas and m is the total weight of the gaseous natural gas, it can be seen from the above that the weight of the liquid natural gas with a gas consumption of 500 km is 25.1 kg, while the weight of the vaporized gaseous natural gas is 25.1 kg, i.e. 25100 kg, and ρ is the density of the gaseous natural gas.
When the pressure requirement in the volume of the fuel supply system 100 reaches 35MPa, the total volume of the gaseous natural gas is as follows: v3597.45 liters for (25100/257.57). The volume of the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is 65 liters, and although the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 can bear 25.1 kilograms of liquefied natural gas and completely vaporize, the pressure generated after the vaporization of the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 with the volume of 65 liters is 53.85MPa, so that the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder with the volume of 97.45-65 liters to 32.45 liters needs to be additionally arrangedThe gas cylinder 3 is rounded to 35 liters, namely the internal pressure of the volume of the completely vaporized liquid natural gas is reduced to 35 MPa.
Similarly, when the pressure requirement in the volume of the fuel supply system 100 reaches 30MPa, a normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 with the volume of 41 liters needs to be added; when the pressure requirement on the volume of the fuel supply system 100 reaches 25MPa, a normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 with the volume of 55 liters needs to be added; when the pressure requirement on the volume of the fuel supply system 100 reaches 20MPa, a normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 with the volume of 75 liters needs to be added.
Therefore, when the normal-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 3 is added, 56 liters of liquid natural gas can be contained in the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1, and the pressure generated after all the liquid natural gas is vaporized does not need to be borne independently, that is, the pressure of the highest 53.85MPa does not need to be borne by the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1, the gaseous natural gas is divided by additionally arranging the high-pressure normal-temperature gas cylinders with different volumes, the pressure in the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 can be reduced, and the working safety of the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 can be improved.

Specifically, the inner cylinder 13 of the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1 can be made of low-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy or stainless steel, the heat insulation layer 14 is used for isolating the heat of the inner cylinder 13, specific setting can be carried out according to different use conditions, if the gas cylinder is required to be kept cold for a long time, a heat insulation material with strong heat insulation performance is filled in a heat insulation space, and high vacuum is pumped; if long-time cold insulation is not required, the filling of heat insulation materials is not required, and only semi-vacuum is kept; if the fuel in the bottle is not required to be kept in a low-temperature liquid state, the vacuum can not be pumped, and even circulating water is used for heating. Further, low temperature high pressure gas cylinder 1 of this application still includes shell 15, shell 15 can be made by ordinary stainless steel or nonmetal, be formed with installation space in the shell 15, interior bottle 13 is fixed in installation space, and be formed with the interval space between interior bottle 13 and the shell 15, it can be understood here, because interior bottle 13 is interior to be stored with low temperature liquefied natural gas, make the temperature of the outer wall of interior bottle 13 also be in the low temperature state easily, the outer wall of the interior bottle 13 of low temperature state, increase installation difficulty and installation cost on the car easily, and simultaneously, avoid low temperature outer wall to become the potential safety hazard, the frostbite contacter. From this, through the shell 15 that sets up, install interior bottle 13 in shell 15 to make and be formed with the interval space between interior bottle 13 and the shell 15, can keep apart interior bottle 13 and external environment to a certain extent, thereby can install under the prerequisite of bottle 13 in not damaging, also reduce low temperature high pressure gas cylinder 1's installation requirement easily, thereby reduce installation cost, still be difficult for bringing frostbite operating personnel's potential safety hazard.

And the liquefied natural gas can be used as a storage state, so that the storage capacity is increased, and the endurance mileage of the vehicle can be improved.

Therefore, an exhaust system is required to be arranged to exhaust the residual gas in the low-temperature high-pressure gas cylinder 1, reduce the pressure in the cylinder and ensure that the liquefied natural gas can be smoothly charged.
