At the starting stage of the hydrogen production system, the temperature of the electrolyte output by the electrolyte storage device 1 is lower, the preheating loop is started, before the electrolyte is input into the electrolytic bath 4 for reaction, heat is absorbed in the preheater 3 so as to increase the temperature, the preheated electrolyte enters the electrolytic bath 4 for reaction, the cold start is changed into the hot start, the starting time is shortened, the hydrogen production speed and efficiency are increased, and the purposes of energy conservation and consumption reduction are achieved.

That is, the heat storage device has a heat supply stage in which heat stored in the heat storage device is exchanged to the electrolyte through the preheating circuit to warm it up for preheating, and a heat storage stage in which heat in the high-temperature electrolyte is stored in the heat storage device through the heat storage circuit.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below by taking fig. 1 to 4 as an example.
The hydrogen production device of the embodiment comprises an electrolyte storage device 1, a heat exchanger 2, a preheater 3, an electrolytic bath 4, a step heat storage device 5, a cooling tower 6, an ultra-pure water machine 13 and a circulating water pump 7. The electrolyte is ultrapure water, and the electrolyte storage device 1 is an ultrapure water storage tank. Optionally, the heat exchanger 2 is a plate heat exchanger.
The ultrapure water machine 13 is used for ion removal and purification of municipal water, and supplies ultrapure water to the electrolyte storage device 1 through a pipe. The circulating water pump 7 is positioned in the reaction loop and used for providing distribution power for the ultrapure water in the electrolyte storage device 1 and delivering the ultrapure water to the heat exchanger 2.
A cooling tower 6 is located in the heat storage circuit for releasing excess heat from the heat storage circuit. That is to say, in the normal operation stage of the hydrogen production system, the heat storage loop is opened, the heat storage of the step heat storage device 5 reaches the upper limit, the high-temperature electrolyzed water in the reaction loop needs to be cooled, and the cooling tower 6 plays a role in timely evacuating the waste heat, so that the hydrogen production system is protected, and the service life is prolonged. In other embodiments, other cooling devices that provide cooling may be substituted for the cooling tower.
The inventors have discovered that hydrogen production systems of the related art do not effectively match the heat requirements of the plant and surrounding structures. The industrial park where the hydrogen production system is located has heat requirements of staff for bathing and domestic hot water, and peripheral districts and the like also have domestic hot water and heating requirements, so that heat recovery technologies such as heat storage and the like are necessary to realize heat supply of the plant area or peripheral buildings, waste is changed into valuable, and great economic benefit is generated. Also, the temperature requirements vary from hot end to hot end, for example the optimum temperature for electrolyte pre-heating is 50-60 ℃ and the optimum temperature for domestic water (e.g. bathing) is 35-40 ℃. The heat storage device in the traditional technology is generally single-temperature water, and cannot meet the temperature requirements of different heat using terminals.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the hydrogen production system in this embodiment uses a stepped heat storage device 5 as a heat storage device, and further includes a heating loop. The step heat storage device 5 comprises two heat release sides, the output temperature of the heat release sides is different, one of the heat release sides is connected to the preheating loop, and the other heat release side is connected to the heating loop. The stepped heat storage device 5 can thus supply the stored waste heat to the preheater 3 via the preheating circuit, but also to other areas requiring heat via the heating circuit. In this embodiment, the heating circuit is used to heat a domestic water system to provide bathing and domestic hot water for buildings in and around the plant area.
The principle of the step heat storage device 5 is that different phase-change temperatures of the phase-change materials are utilized through the heat storage type heat exchanger and the phase-change materials packaged in the heat storage type heat exchanger, and energy of 'temperature alignment and step utilization' is provided for different heat utilization tail ends. As shown in fig. 4, the step heat storage device 5 includes a first heat storage region 51 and a second heat storage region 52, and further includes a hot water pipe 53. The first heat storage region 51 is filled with a first phase change material, and the second heat storage region 52 is filled with a second phase change material. The hot water pipe 53 penetrates through the first heat storage area 51 and the second heat storage area 52, a high-temperature medium in the hot water pipe 53 is used as a heat storage side of the step heat storage device 5 to release heat so as to enable the phase change material to store heat in a phase change manner, the media of the two heat release sides of the step heat storage device 5 respectively correspond to the first heat storage area 51 and the second heat storage area 52 and absorb heat from the first heat storage area 51 and the second heat storage area 52, and then the absorbed heat is respectively input into the preheating loop and the heating loop. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the output temperature of the heat-releasing side is equal to the phase change temperature of the phase change material, and thus the output temperature between the two heat-releasing sides is different due to the different phase change temperatures of the phase change materials in the two heat storage regions. The phase-change material is selected according to the temperature requirements of different heat using terminals, so that the energy of 'temperature to mouth and cascade utilization' can be provided for the different heat using terminals.
As shown in fig. 4, the step heat storage device 5 is a cylindrical structure, and includes an outer shell 54 and an inner shell 55, the inner shell 55 is located inside the outer shell 54, the hot water pipe 53 axially penetrates through the step heat storage device 5, the hot water pipe 53 is sleeved on the inner shell 55, the inner shell 55 is coaxial with the hot water pipe 53 and defines a heat storage area with the hot water pipe 53, and a circulation area for circulating a heat exchange medium on the heat release side is defined between the outer shell 54 and the inner shell 55. The heat insulation partition plate 56 is located in the middle of the stepped heat storage device 5 to divide the heat storage region into the first heat storage region 51 and the second heat storage region 52, and to divide the circulation region into the first circulation region 571 and the second circulation region 572. The first flow-through area 571 is connected to the preheating circuit, and the second flow-through area 572 is connected to the heating circuit. The housing 54 is provided with a first charge port 511 for charging the first phase-change material into the first heat storage region 51, a first discharge port 512 for discharging the first phase-change material from the first heat storage region 51, a second charge port 521 for charging the second phase-change material into the second heat storage region 52, and a second discharge port 522 for discharging the second phase-change material from the second heat storage region 52. The housing 54 is further provided with a first water outlet 581 and a first water inlet 582 communicating with the first flow-through region 571, and a second water outlet 591 and a second water inlet 592 communicating with the second flow-through region 572.
Further, the stepped thermal storage device 5 further includes a plurality of fins 50 disposed in the circulation area for assisting in heat conduction. The step heat storage device adopts an integrated structure, the phase change material packaging area is simple to separate, and the connection between preheating and domestic hot water can be completed through a plurality of interfaces.
The inlet of the hot water pipe 53 is adjacent to the first heat storage region 51. It can also be said that the first heat storage zone 51 is located upstream of the second heat storage zone 52. The phase change material of first heat storage region 51 may have a higher temperature than the phase change material of second heat storage region 52. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the phase change temperature of the phase change material in the heat storage region located upstream is higher than the phase change temperature of the phase change material in the heat storage region located downstream.
This is because the preheater 3 has a higher temperature demand than the domestic water system, and therefore the first heat storage region 51 corresponding to the preheating circuit preferentially abuts against the water inlet side of the hot water pipe 53, and heat storage is realized by the first phase change material having a higher phase change temperature. For the domestic hot water side with low hot water temperature demand, heat storage is realized through the second phase change material with low phase change temperature.
Alternatively, the phase change temperature of the phase change material (first phase change material) in the heat storage region (first heat storage region 51) corresponding to the heat release side connected to the preheat circuit is between 50 ℃ and 60 ℃, and the phase change temperature of the phase change material (second phase change material) in the heat storage region (second heat storage region 52) corresponding to the heat release side connected to the heat circuit is between 30 ℃ and 50 ℃. Further optionally, the second phase change material has a phase change temperature between 35 ℃ and 40 ℃.
Alternatively, the first phase-change material is paraffin C24 with the phase-change temperature of 51.5 ℃, and the second phase-change material can adopt paraffin C20 with the phase-change temperature of 36.7 ℃.
The first phase change material and the second phase change material selected by the utility model have particularity and are mainly embodied in the following three points: firstly, the selection of the phase-change material depends on the return water temperature of the heat exchanger 2, the optimal electrolysis temperature of the electrolytic bath 4 and the required temperature of domestic hot water; secondly, the packaging areas of the two phase-change materials are adjacent, the thermophysical properties and the heat absorption and release rates are relatively close, and the mutual influence is avoided; thirdly, the system aims at low-temperature waste heat phase change recovery, so the phase change material is low in price. The phase change material is not limited to the above-mentioned C24 and C20, and the phase change material capable of achieving the same effect is within the scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that, in other embodiments, if there are more than three heat consuming ends with different temperature requirements, the heating loop may be provided in plurality, the step heat storage device 5 is provided with at least three heat releasing sides, one of the heat releasing sides is connected to the preheating loop, and the other heat releasing sides are connected to the heating loop in a one-to-one correspondence manner. A plurality of heat storage areas corresponding to the heat release sides one by one are also arranged in the step heat storage device 5, phase change materials with different phase change temperatures are respectively filled in the heat storage areas, and the hot water pipe 53 penetrates through each heat storage area.
As shown in fig. 1-3, the preheater 3 is located downstream of the heat exchanger 2, the preheater 3 comprising an electrolyte tube 31 and a preheating coil 32, the electrolyte tube 31 being connected to the reaction circuit and the preheating coil 32 being connected to the preheating circuit. The electrolyte tube 31 is a coiled tube, the preheating coil 32 includes a plurality of straight tube sections 321 and a plurality of communicating tubes 322, a part of the electrolyte tube 31 is sleeved with the straight tube sections 321, the straight tube sections 321 are parallel to each other, and the communicating tubes 322 communicate two adjacent straight tube sections 321. In the starting stage of the hydrogen production system, hot water enters the preheating coil 32 to exchange heat with the low-temperature electrolyte in the electrolyte tube 31, the heat is released to preheat the electrolyte entering the electrolytic cell 4, and the electrolyte in the cold starting stage is heated to the optimal temperature required by electrolysis. As described above, the temperature of the hot water in preheat coil 32 is related to the phase change temperature of the first phase change material, with 50-60 ℃ being the ideal temperature for hot start-up of the hydrogen plant. The hydrogen production system is started at the temperature, so that the starting time of the hydrogen production system can be effectively shortened, the hydrogen production speed and efficiency are improved, and the energy consumption is reduced. The sleeve preheater shown in fig. 3 makes full use of the vertical space, reduces the horizontal floor space, and has high integration degree.
The hydrogen production system provided by the embodiment comprises a controller 11 and a plurality of temperature detectors, wherein the controller 11 is used for controlling the opening and closing of the preheating loop, the heating loop and the heat storage loop according to temperature detection signals of the temperature detectors.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the hydrogen production system includes a cooling water pump 8, a first regulating valve 91, a second regulating valve 92, a first thermal resistor 101, a second thermal resistor 102, a third thermal resistor 103, and an inverter 12. And the cooling water pump 8 is positioned in the heat storage water path, is connected between the heat exchanger 2 and the cooling tower 6 and is used for power transmission and distribution of the heat storage loop. The frequency converter 12 is used for controlling the rotating speed and flow of the cooling water pump 8, so that flow changing and operation energy saving are achieved, and the controller 11 controls the frequency converter 12 to control the flow of the cooling water pump 8.
The first regulating valve 91 is located in the preheating circuit and the second regulating valve 92 is located in the heating circuit. The controller 11 controls the start and stop of the first regulating valve 91 to realize the start and stop of the preheating loop, and controls the start and stop of the second regulating valve 92 to realize the start and stop of the heating loop. The controller 11 controls the start and stop of the first regulating valve 91 and the second regulating valve 92, and simultaneously controls the switching of the step heat storage device 5 between the heat storage working condition and the heat supply working condition.
The first thermal resistor 101 is used for monitoring the temperature of the first water outlet 581 of the step heat storage device 5, i.e. monitoring the temperature of the water supplied by the step heat storage device 5 to the preheater 3. The second thermal resistor 102 is used for monitoring the temperature at the second water outlet 591 of the step heat storage device 5, i.e. the temperature of the water supplied by the step heat storage device 5 to the domestic water system. The third thermal resistance 103 is used to monitor the temperature at the electrolyte outlet of the preheater 3, i.e. the temperature of the electrolyte entering the electrolytic cell 4.
The controller 11 controls the regulating valves and the cooling water pump to control the preheating loop, the heating loop and the heat storage loop to be opened and closed according to the temperature detection signal as follows:
(1) heating phase of the step heat storage device 5:
as shown in fig. 1, the heating phase of the stepped heat storage device 5 specifically includes a preheating phase of the preheater 3 and a heating phase of the domestic hot water system.
A. When the hydrogen production system starts, because the temperature of the electrolyte is low, the temperature collected by the third thermal resistor 103 is lower than a set value, the controller 11 judges that the water inlet temperature of the electrolytic cell 4 is too low according to the temperature detection signal collected by the third thermal resistor 103, the cooling water pump 8 and the frequency converter 12 are closed, the first regulating valve 91 and the step heat storage device 5 are opened, the preheating loop is opened, the step heat storage device 5 enters a heat supply stage, the first phase change material in the first heat storage area 51 releases a large amount of latent heat, and isothermal heat release is performed on the preheater 3 through the preheating loop. The temperature of the electrolyte on the cold side of the preheater 3 is raised after being heated, so that the temperature of the electrolyte entering the electrolytic cell 4 is raised and constant, and the preheating process of the electrolyte is finished;
B. when a hot user needs to generate heat at a water consumption point of bathing and domestic hot water in a plant area or a water consumption point of a building around the plant area, the controller 11 opens the second regulating valve 92 and the step heat storage device 5, the heating loop is opened, the step heat storage device 5 enters a heat supply stage, the second phase change material in the second heat storage area 52 releases a large amount of latent heat, and domestic hot water at the user side is heated through the heating loop, so that domestic hot water is supplied.
(2) Heat storage stage of the stepped heat storage device 5:
the heat storage stage of the step heat storage device 5 is actually a heat re-storage stage when the heat storage amount of the step heat storage device 5 is used up. When the temperature collected by the first thermal resistor 101 is lower than the set value and the temperature collected by the second thermal resistor 102 is lower than the set value, the controller 11 determines that the heat storage amount of the step heat storage device 5 is used up, and the specific flow is as follows:
as shown in fig. 2, high-temperature hot water after electrolysis in normal operation of the hydrogen production system returns to the electrolyte storage device 1 from the electrolytic tank 4, and starts to exchange heat with the heat storage loop through the heat exchanger 2 under the action of the circulating water pump 7.
The controller 11 controls the first regulating valve 91 and the second regulating valve 92 to be closed, the cooling water pump 8 and the step heat storage device 5 are opened, the heat absorbed by the heat storage loop from the heat exchanger 2 is stored in the step heat storage device 5, and the ineffective waste heat of electrolysis is recovered and stored.

The electrolyte is heated by the step heat storage device during cold start, the cold start is changed into hot start, the start time is shortened, the hydrogen production speed and efficiency are improved, and the purposes of energy conservation and consumption reduction are achieved.
(2) The value of low-quality energy is exerted to the maximum extent. The technology of phase change heat storage and cascade recovery is improved, waste heat emitted by the electrolytic water system is fully recovered, and the utilization rate of low-quality heat energy is improved; meanwhile, the sleeve type preheater is used for enhancing the heat transfer effect of water-water heat exchange, improving the utilization efficiency of low-quality heat energy and reducing the waste of high-quality energy.
(3) The heat source is safe, stable, continuous and economical. Because the temperature is constant when the heat storage material is in phase change, the temperature of the hot water is safe and constant; meanwhile, latent heat is released during phase change, the recovered heat energy is huge, the heat release time is long, and the heat-exchange plate is hardly influenced by the outside. Therefore, the system can provide a safe, stable, continuous and economic heat source.
(4) The economic benefit is obvious. The recovered waste heat has various purposes and obvious economic value. On one hand, the system can be used for preheating in a cold start stage of the system, and on the other hand, the system can be used for bathing and domestic hot water of factories and surrounding buildings.
