Definitions
- the invention relates to a storage system, in particular for storing a cryogenic medium.
- the invention further relates to the use of a storage system according to one of the preceding claims as a storage system for vehicles of all kinds.
- cryogenic media should also be understood to mean compressed and liquefied natural gas.
- Hydrogen and natural gas in particular are becoming increasingly important as an energy source due to increasing energy requirements and increased environmental awareness.
- Trucks, buses, cars and locomotives are already powered by natural gas or hydrogen-powered engines and by combinations of fuel cells and electric motors.
- the first attempts are underway to power planes using the media mentioned.
- the storage of hydrogen or natural gas "on board" the above-mentioned means of transport is most sensible in liquid form.
- the hydrogen and LNG have to be cooled to about 25 K and 112 K and kept at this temperature - which can only be achieved with appropriate insulation measures on the storage containers or tanks - storage is in a gaseous state due to the low level Density of GH 2 and CNG is generally less favorable in the above-mentioned modes of transport, since the storage must take place in large-volume and heavy storage containers at high pressures.
- the first problem concerns the shape of the storage tank, which has to be either round or cylindrical due to the required pressure resistance.
- the working pressure of a motor vehicle storage system is, for example, 2 to 3 bar
- the storage container is to be designed for at least 5 to 6 bar, so that - and this will be discussed in more detail below - an acceptable service life can be achieved.
- the designs of the storage containers for cryogenic media that have been implemented so far do not meet the requirements of the motor vehicle industry, which in particular requires or favors flatter storage container or tank shapes due to the specified installation options.
- the second problem already mentioned concerns the topic of long-term storage. Even if the cryogenic storage container has a so-called superinsulation, it cannot be prevented that a residual heat flow, albeit small, remains in the stored medium; The consequence of this is that there is a slow rise in pressure in the stored cryogenic medium and thus in the storage container, that is to say a part of the liquid medium evaporates. If the cryogenic medium is not removed from the storage container over a longer period of time, the pressure rises continuously, with the result that when a certain pressure threshold value - to which the storage container is designed - the gaseous medium formed inside the storage container has to be blown off becomes. This part of the cryogenic medium is usually considered a loss.
- the second store being designed as a pressure store, which is preceded by a device for increasing the pressure in terms of flow. If there is an increase in pressure in the first store above a preset pressure threshold value in this energy storage system, the cryogenic medium to be blown off is compressed by the device for increasing the pressure and supplied to the second store. As soon as the consumer to whom the energy storage system is assigned needs cryogenic medium, it is supplied either from the first or second storage.
- the first storage device is still in the form of a low-temperature storage container - that is, it consists made of an inner and outer container and (super) insulation arranged between them.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a storage system, in particular for the storage of a cryogenic medium, which on the one hand enables a wide variety of storage container shapes to be implemented and on the other hand enables significantly improved long-term storage.
- the storage system has a) a storage container suitable for storing a cryogenic medium, b) a feed line into the storage container, via which the medium to be stored is fed to the storage container, c) a liquid withdrawal line, via which the medium is fed to a consumer, and d) a cryocompressor arranged in the liquid withdrawal line, which compresses the medium to be supplied to the consumer.
- cryogenic medium In contrast to the known storage systems, an almost pressure-free storage of the cryogenic medium is now also possible.
- any shape can be selected for the storage container.
- a reduction in the storage pressure also has the advantage that the amount of storage can be increased, since the medium to be stored has a higher density at lower pressure.
- the cryocompressor arranged in the liquid withdrawal line of the storage container, the medium to be supplied to the consumer is compressed to the pressure required for the consumer.
- cryocompressor is designed for compression to a pressure of at least 100 bar, preferably at least 500 bar.
- the figure shows a storage system consisting of a first storage container S1, to which a feed line 1 is assigned, via which the medium to be stored is fed to it.
- the storage container S1 also has a blow-off line 2, in which a safety valve (not shown in the figure) is arranged; this opens the line 2 when a preset pressure threshold value is reached.
- an overflow line likewise not shown in the figure, is generally provided, which is connected upstream of the safety valve and is arranged parallel to the latter in terms of flow technology. This overflow line is set to a lower pressure than the safety valve.
- liquid medium is removed from the storage container S1 via the liquid removal line (s) 3, 4, 5 and 6, compressed to the desired pressure in the cryocompressor K and then to the consumer (not shown in the figure), for example a (modified ) Internal combustion engine or a fuel cell - supplied.
- a gas extraction line 7, 8 or 9 is provided, which is connected in terms of flow technology to the input of the cryocompressor K.
- gaseous medium can also be removed and supplied to a consumer after compression in the cryocompressor K.
- the removal of Gaseous medium from the storage container S1 via the gas extraction line (s) 7, 8 or 9 is particularly useful if either the consumer only requires a small mass flow of the stored medium or - for example after a long standing time - there is already a significant increase in pressure the storage container S1 has come.
- a pressure storage tank S2 is provided, which can be connected or connected to the pressure side of the cryocompressor K via the lines 11 and 10, in which a valve d is arranged. Furthermore, the two storage containers S1 and S2 are connected or connectable to one another via the lines 7, 13 and 12.
- This pressure storage container S2 can be formed, for example, by one or more compressed gas cylinders; conventional compressed gas cylinders are designed up to 300 bar. High-pressure composite tanks for pressures up to 1000 bar and more are also suitable as pressure storage tanks.
- cryocompressor K is driven hydraulically, since this is advantageous in addition to economic advantages, in particular for reasons of space.
- the gaseous medium formed in the storage container S1 due to the unavoidable incidence of heat can be withdrawn via the gas extraction line (s) 7, 8 or 9, in the cryocompressor K Desired pressure - compressed to 100 to 500 bar, for example, and then fed via lines 5, 10 and 11 to the pressure storage tank S2.
- the gaseous medium occurring in the storage container S1 therefore no longer has to be released to the atmosphere via the blow-off line 2, but can be temporarily stored in the pressure storage container S2.
- cryocompressor K is preferably operatively connected to a pressure control which controls the compression of the medium flowing out of the storage container S1 via the gas extraction line (s) 7, 8 or 9.
- the pressure storage container S2 can now serve as a reserve container from which, if no medium has been supplied to the consumer over a long period of time and the storage container S1 has been emptied, the required medium is supplied until the next refueling process.
- the consumer can be started without the cryocompressor K being switched on.
- the pressure storage container S2 can be switched on and the required remaining amount drawn off from it for a transition period and supplied to the consumer.
- cryocompressor K can also be "supplied" with gaseous medium during the starting process - in addition to liquid.
- the storage system according to the invention can be used for a large number of very different media, but in particular for storing LH 2 , LNG, LN 2 , etc.
- LH 2 low-density liquid crystal display
- LNG low-density liquid crystal display
- LN 2 low-density liquid crystal display
