Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for filling a hydrogen tank.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a method of filling a hydrogen gas tank under pressure from at least one source storage containing hydrogen gas under pressure at a first predetermined temperature and at a predetermined pressure greater than pressure in the tank to be filled, wherein hydrogen is transferred from the source storage to the tank by pressure equalization via a filling circuit having an upstream end connected to the source storage and a downstream end connected to the tank, and wherein, the at least one source storage is in heat exchange with a gas heating member stored in the source storage.
  • the filling of fuel tanks with hydrogen gas is generally carried out via one and preferably several pressure balances between one or more source storages and the reservoir to be filled.
  • a well-known solution uses several source storages connected in parallel and which are used successively to maximize the pressure differences between the source and the reservoir to be filled (“cascading" filling).
  • a compressor may also be provided in addition to supplement or complete the filling if necessary.
  • EP2175187A2 describes a filling system in which the temperature of the gas is controlled (lowered) before entering the tank.
  • the document WO201 1026551 A1 describes a filling system in which the temperature of the source storage is maintained at a determined low level.
  • An object of the present invention is to improve the filling efficiency and / or to overcome all or part of the disadvantages of the prior art noted above.
  • the filling method according to the invention which moreover conforms to the generic definition given in the preamble above, is essentially characterized in that during at least a part of the hydrogen transfer of the source storage to the reservoir, the gas contained in the source storage is heated to a second predetermined temperature which is higher than the first temperature.
  • the at least one storage source is reheated to increase the pressure of the gas in the storage so as to increase the pressure differential compared to the tank to fill.
  • this reheating is carried out when the pressure in the source storage falls below a determined low threshold and / or when the pressure in the reservoir during filling reaches a determined high threshold.
  • embodiments of the invention may include one or more of the following features:
  • the heating of the gas contained in the source storage increases its temperature by a determined value of between 10 ° C. and 60 ° C. and preferably between 20 ° C. and 40 ° C.,
  • the gas contained in the source storage is heated via the reheating member
  • the gas contained in the source storage is reheated only when the pressure differential between the gas in the source storage and, on the one hand, on the other hand, the gas in the reservoir is less than said determined first differential,
  • the first differential determined is between 50 and 250 bar and preferably between 100 and 200 bar
  • the cooling of the gas contained in the source storage decreases its temperature from 10 ° C. to 60 ° C. and preferably from 20 ° C. to 40 ° C.
  • the gas in the source storage has an initial pressure before filling and before reheating of between 150 and 950 bar and in particular between 250 and 850 bar,
  • the invention also relates to a device for filling a pressurized hydrogen gas tank comprising at least one source storage containing hydrogen gas under pressure at a first predetermined temperature and at a predetermined pressure, a gas heating member. stored in the source storage, a filling circuit having an upstream end connected to the source storage and a downstream end removably connectable to the tank to be filled, at least one regulating member of the pressure and / or the flow of gas admitted to circulate in the circuit from the source storage to the tank, an electronic data acquisition, storage and processing member connected to the regulating member, also connected to the gas heating member stored in the source storage and to a pressure sensor in the tank, the electronic data acquisition, storage and processing element being configured for controlling the rate and / or pressure of the gas in the filling circuit, the electronic data acquisition, storage and processing member being configured to control the heating of the gas contained in the source storage at a second predetermined temperature which is greater than the first temperature during at least a portion of the hydrogen transfer from the source storage to the reservoir.

  • FIG. 2 represents comparative curves of variation of the pressure within source storages and reservoirs during refilling with and without the implementation of the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically and partially an example of filling station 1 tanks of hydrogen gas under pressure (eg vehicle tanks).
  • the station conventionally comprises at least one source storage 2 containing hydrogen gas under pressure, for example at a pressure of between 150 bar and 1000 bar, in particular 700 to 900 bar.
