Description

本発明は、水素ガスの充填方法及び装置に関し、詳しくは、水素自動車の燃料となる水素ガスを、水素ガス供給源から水素自動車の燃料タンクに充填するための方法及び装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for filling hydrogen gas, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for filling hydrogen gas, which is fuel for a hydrogen automobile, into a fuel tank of a hydrogen automobile from a hydrogen gas supply source.

燃料電池自動車のような水素自動車の燃料として用いられる水素ガスは、水素ガスが流れる経路に設けられている各種弁や流量計等の部分で断熱膨張すると、ジュールトムソン効果によって温度が上昇するという性質を有している。したがって、水素ガス供給源から水素自動車に水素ガスを充填する経路に設けられている弁等を通過する際のジュールトムソン効果により水素ガスの温度が上昇するとともに、水素ガスを水素自動車の燃料タンクに高圧に圧縮充填するための圧縮熱によっても水素ガスの温度が上昇する。   Hydrogen gas used as a fuel for hydrogen vehicles such as fuel cell vehicles has the property that the temperature rises due to the Joule-Thompson effect when adiabatic expansion occurs in various valves, flow meters, and other parts provided in the path through which hydrogen gas flows have. Accordingly, the temperature of the hydrogen gas rises due to the Joule-Thompson effect when passing through a valve or the like provided in the path for filling the hydrogen vehicle with the hydrogen gas from the hydrogen gas supply source, and the hydrogen gas is supplied to the fuel tank of the hydrogen vehicle. The temperature of the hydrogen gas also rises due to the compression heat for compressing and filling to a high pressure.

このように水素ガスの温度が上昇すると、燃料タンクの耐熱温度を超える問題、充填後の冷却に伴う圧力降下等の問題が発生するため、水素ガスが流れる経路に熱交換器等の冷却手段を配置し、この冷却手段で水素ガスを冷却しながら水素自動車に充填する方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
特開2004−116619号公報
If the temperature of the hydrogen gas rises in this way, problems such as exceeding the heat resistance temperature of the fuel tank and problems such as a pressure drop associated with cooling after filling occur.

前記水素ガス供給源11は、通常、19.6MPaの水素ガスが充填されている水素カードルや水素トレーラーであって、水素自動車14は、水素ガスを70MPaまで充填可能な燃料タンクを備えている。また、70MPa以上の高圧水素ガスが流れる経路の配管や機器には、高圧対応のものが使用されており、例えば配管は、外径12.7mmでは肉厚が4.8mmのものが、外径9.53mmでは肉厚が3.7mmのものが使用されている。   The hydrogen gas supply source 11 is normally a hydrogen curdle or a hydrogen trailer filled with 19.6 MPa hydrogen gas, and the hydrogen automobile 14 includes a fuel tank capable of filling hydrogen gas up to 70 MPa.

For example, pipes having an outer diameter of 12.7 mm and a wall thickness of 4.8 mm have an outer diameter. At 9.53 mm, a thickness of 3.7 mm is used.

以下、この充填装置の使用例を説明する。まず、貯蔵容器15に所定圧力の水素ガスを充填する運転を行う。水素ガス供給源11からの水素ガスは、手動弁51,減圧弁52,自動弁53を通って圧縮機12に吸入され、水素自動車14の充填圧力以上に昇圧される。このとき、貯蔵容器15の下流側に設けられている自動弁54及びバイパス経路16の自動弁55は閉じられており、圧縮後の水素ガスは、手動弁56,自動弁57,逆止弁58を通って貯蔵容器15側の経路に流れ、各貯蔵容器15に設けられた手動弁15aを通って各貯蔵容器15内にそれぞれ充填される。貯蔵容器15内の水素ガスの圧力は、圧力計32によって測定される。   Hereinafter, usage examples of the filling apparatus will be described. First, the storage container 15 is filled with hydrogen gas having a predetermined pressure. Hydrogen gas from the hydrogen gas supply source 11 is sucked into the compressor 12 through the manual valve 51, the pressure reducing valve 52, and the automatic valve 53, and is increased to a pressure higher than the filling pressure of the hydrogen automobile 14. At this time, the automatic valve 54 provided on the downstream side of the storage container 15 and the automatic valve 55 of the bypass passage 16 are closed, and the compressed hydrogen gas is supplied from the manual valve 56, the automatic valve 57, and the check valve 58. It flows through the path on the side of the storage container 15 and passes through the manual valve 15 a provided in each storage container 15, and is filled in each storage container 15. The pressure of the hydrogen gas in the storage container 15 is measured by a pressure gauge 32.

貯蔵容器15内に所定圧力で水素ガスを充填した後、充填経路13を冷却する運転を行う。貯蔵容器15の上流側の自動弁57を閉じて下流側の自動弁54を開き、貯蔵容器15内から、自動弁54,逆止弁59,手動弁60,自動弁61を介して水素ガスの一部を導出し、流量調整弁62で所定流量に調整した後、積算流量計36を通して冷却手段17の水素ガス流通管17bに導入し、冷媒通路17aを流れる冷媒と熱交換させて水素ガスを所定温度に冷却する。水素ガスの冷却温度はできるだけ低温とすることが望ましいため、冷却手段17の冷却能力を考慮して前記流量調整弁62で流量(流速)を制御する。   After filling the storage container 15 with hydrogen gas at a predetermined pressure, an operation of cooling the filling path 13 is performed. The automatic valve 57 on the upstream side of the storage container 15 is closed and the automatic valve 54 on the downstream side is opened, and the hydrogen gas is supplied from the storage container 15 through the automatic valve 54, the check valve 59, the manual valve 60, and the automatic valve 61. After a part is derived and adjusted to a predetermined flow rate by the flow rate adjusting valve 62, the hydrogen gas is introduced into the hydrogen gas flow pipe 17b of the cooling means 17 through the integrating flow meter 36, and heat exchange is performed with the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant passage 17a. Cool to a predetermined temperature. Since the cooling temperature of the hydrogen gas is desirably as low as possible, the flow rate (flow velocity) is controlled by the flow rate adjusting valve 62 in consideration of the cooling capacity of the cooling means 17.

このとき、充填経路13の終端に設けた自動弁63を閉じて循環経路18の自動弁64を開くことにより、冷却手段17で冷却された水素ガスが充填経路13から循環経路18に流れ、さらに、流量調整弁65,積算流量計39,逆止弁66を通り、閉状態となっている減圧弁67の上流側で回収経路20に流れ、自動弁68,手動弁69を通って回収容器19に回収される。回収した水素ガスの圧力は、圧力計40によって測定される。これにより、冷却手段17から循環経路18の分岐部までの間の充填経路13及び循環経路18から回収経路20に至る配管や機器を低温の水素ガスによって冷却することができる。   At this time, by closing the automatic valve 63 provided at the end of the filling path 13 and opening the automatic valve 64 of the circulation path 18, the hydrogen gas cooled by the cooling means 17 flows from the filling path 13 to the circulation path 18. The flow rate adjustment valve 65, the integrated flow meter 39, and the check valve 66 flow to the recovery path 20 on the upstream side of the pressure reducing valve 67 that is closed, and pass through the automatic valve 68 and the manual valve 69 to the recovery container 19 To be recovered. The pressure of the recovered hydrogen gas is measured by a pressure gauge 40. As a result, the filling path 13 from the cooling means 17 to the branch portion of the circulation path 18 and the piping and equipment extending from the circulation path 18 to the recovery path 20 can be cooled by low-temperature hydrogen gas.

また、自動弁64を閉じて自動弁63を開き、冷却手段17で冷却された水素ガスを連絡管21の他端に設けられたカプラーの部分まで供給して一定時間保持した後、自動弁61を閉じて自動弁64を開き、自動弁61からカプラーまでの間の水素ガスを循環経路18から回収経路20を通して回収容器19に回収する操作を適宜繰り返すことにより、カプラーまでの配管やこの配管に設けられた機器を冷却することができる。   Further, the automatic valve 64 is closed and the automatic valve 63 is opened, and the hydrogen gas cooled by the cooling means 17 is supplied to the coupler portion provided at the other end of the connecting pipe 21 and held for a certain period of time. Is closed and the automatic valve 64 is opened, and the operation of recovering the hydrogen gas from the automatic valve 61 to the coupler through the recovery path 20 through the recovery path 20 to the recovery container 19 is repeated as appropriate. The provided equipment can be cooled.

さらに、自動弁64の下流側に前記カプラーの接続口22を設けておき、この接続口22にカプラーを接続した状態で、自動弁64を閉じて自動弁63を開くことにより、冷却手段17で冷却された水素ガスを、自動弁63から連絡管21に流し、カプラーから接続口22を通って循環経路18に流すことができるので、冷却手段17から下流側の配管や機器、連絡管21、カプラーまでを冷却することができる。   Further, the coupler connecting port 22 is provided on the downstream side of the automatic valve 64. With the coupler connected to the connecting port 22, the automatic valve 64 is closed and the automatic valve 63 is opened. Since the cooled hydrogen gas can flow from the automatic valve 63 to the communication pipe 21 and flow from the coupler through the connection port 22 to the circulation path 18, the downstream piping and equipment from the cooling means 17, the communication pipe 21, The coupler can be cooled.

このようにして冷却手段17で冷却した水素ガスを充填経路13、循環経路18、回収経路20等を通して回収容器19に回収する予冷運転を行うことにより、肉厚が厚く、熱容量が多大な配管や機器を、水素自動車14に水素ガスを充填する前にあらかじめ冷却しておくことができる。   By performing a pre-cooling operation in which the hydrogen gas cooled by the cooling means 17 is recovered in the recovery container 19 through the filling path 13, the circulation path 18, the recovery path 20, and the like, a pipe having a large thickness and a large heat capacity can be obtained. The device can be cooled in advance before filling the hydrogen vehicle 14 with hydrogen gas.

配管や機器を所定温度に冷却した後、自動弁64閉じてカプラーを水素自動車14に接続し、貯蔵容器15内の水素ガスを、自動弁54,逆止弁59,手動弁60,自動弁61、流量調整弁62、積算流量計36、冷却手段17、自動弁63、連絡管21、カプラーを通して水素自動車14の燃料タンクに充填する。   After the piping and equipment are cooled to a predetermined temperature, the automatic valve 64 is closed and the coupler is connected to the hydrogen automobile 14, and the hydrogen gas in the storage container 15 is supplied to the automatic valve 54, the check valve 59, the manual valve 60, and the automatic valve 61. The fuel tank of the hydrogen vehicle 14 is filled through the flow rate adjusting valve 62, the integrating flow meter 36, the cooling means 17, the automatic valve 63, the communication pipe 21, and the coupler.

水素自動車14に水素ガスを充填する際に、貯蔵容器15から冷却手段17に至る経路に設けられた各種弁や積算流量計36の部分で断熱膨張し、ジュールトムソン効果によって温度が上昇した水素ガスは冷却手段17で冷却され、冷却手段17以降の経路に設けられた弁や連絡管21の接続部で断熱膨張しても、これらの経路や弁等があらかじめ十分に冷却されているので、水素自動車14に充填する水素ガスの温度上昇を抑制することができ、冷却手段17で冷却された低温の水素ガスを、低温を維持した状態又は必要以上の加温が生じない状態で水素自動車14に充填することができる。   When the hydrogen vehicle 14 is filled with hydrogen gas, the hydrogen gas is adiabatically expanded at various valves provided in the path from the storage container 15 to the cooling means 17 and the integrated flow meter 36, and the temperature is increased by the Joule-Thompson effect. Is cooled by the cooling means 17, and even if adiabatic expansion is performed at the connection portion of the valve and the connecting pipe 21 provided in the path after the cooling means 17, these paths and valves are sufficiently cooled in advance. An increase in the temperature of the hydrogen gas charged in the automobile 14 can be suppressed, and the low-temperature hydrogen gas cooled by the cooling means 17 is supplied to the hydrogen automobile 14 in a state where the low temperature is maintained or in a state where excessive heating is not generated. Can be filled.

また、低温の水素ガスが流れる部分の配管や機器は、断熱材等で断熱しておくことが望ましく、これらの冷却の程度を確認するため、配管の外面に温度センサーを設けておき、この温度センサーで測定した温度に応じて冷却手段17の冷却能力や水素ガスの流速を制御することが望ましい。さらに、充填待機中に前記温度センサーの信号を取り込み、あらかじめ設定した温度になるように各弁を自動制御することにより、充填前の待ち時間を短縮することができる。   In addition, it is desirable to insulate the piping and equipment where the low-temperature hydrogen gas flows with a heat insulating material, etc., and in order to confirm the degree of cooling of these, a temperature sensor is provided on the outer surface of the piping, and this temperature It is desirable to control the cooling capacity of the cooling means 17 and the flow rate of hydrogen gas according to the temperature measured by the sensor.

Can be filled. When the bypass path 16 is provided, when the required amount of hydrogen gas is extracted from the storage container 15 and the precooling operation is performed, the automatic valve 54 is closed and the automatic valve 55 is opened, and the compressor 12 is turned on. By operating, the hydrogen gas cooled by the cooling means 17 is not recovered in the recovery container 19, and the manual valve 56, the bypass path 16, the automatic valve 55, the manual valve 60, the automatic valve 61, the flow rate adjustment valve are discharged from the compressor 12. 62, the integrated flow meter 36, the cooling means 17, the automatic valve 64, the flow rate adjusting valve 65, the integrated flow meter 39, the check valve 66, and the pressure reducing valve 67 can be circulated to the compressor 12.

また、各種冷却方法により事前に前記温度計38を構成する筐体を充分に冷却しておくことができるため、水素自動車14への水素ガス充填温度を正確に測定することが可能となり、温度計38をカプラーの近くに設けることにより,燃料タンク充填直前の水素ガスの温度をより正確に測定できる。   Further, since the casing constituting the thermometer 38 can be sufficiently cooled in advance by various cooling methods, the hydrogen gas filling temperature to the hydrogen automobile 14 can be accurately measured, and the thermometer By providing 38 near the coupler, the temperature of the hydrogen gas immediately before filling the fuel tank can be measured more accurately.

さらに、貯蔵容器15から冷却手段17までをまとめて、あるいは、貯蔵容器15を保冷可能な建屋又はケーシングで囲み、その中を機械式冷凍機で冷却しておくことにより、冷却手段17に供給する水素ガスもある程度冷却しておくことができる。建屋又はケーシング内を冷却する手段として、液体窒素のような不活性の極低温ガスを用い、建屋又はケーシング内の圧力を大気圧よりも高くしておくことにより、建屋又はケーシング内への酸素(大気)の侵入を防止することができ、仮に水素ガスの漏洩が生じたとしても、建屋又はケーシング内の雰囲気を水素の爆発下限界域に維持することができ、安全性を高めることができる。加えて、建屋又はケーシング内に水素センサーを設けることにより、漏洩を早期に発見することも可能となる。   Further, the storage container 15 to the cooling means 17 are gathered together, or the storage container 15 is surrounded by a coolable building or casing, and the interior is cooled by a mechanical refrigerator to supply the cooling means 17. Hydrogen gas can also be cooled to some extent. As a means for cooling the inside of the building or casing, an inert cryogenic gas such as liquid nitrogen is used. By keeping the pressure in the building or casing higher than the atmospheric pressure, oxygen into the building or casing ( The atmosphere in the building or casing can be maintained in the lower limit of hydrogen explosion, and safety can be improved even if hydrogen gas leaks. In addition, by providing a hydrogen sensor in the building or casing, it becomes possible to detect leaks at an early stage.

また、前記形態例は一系統のみを例示したが、貯蔵容器15からカプラーまでの経路を複数系統設けておくことにより、一つの経路で水素自動車14に水素ガスを充填しているときに、他の経路の予冷運転を行うことができ、水素自動車14への水素ガスの充填を連続的に行うことが可能となる。   Moreover, although the said example illustrated only one system | strain, when the hydrogen vehicle 14 is filled with hydrogen gas by one path | route by providing multiple systems | routes from the storage container 15 to a coupler, others It is possible to perform the pre-cooling operation of this route, and it is possible to continuously fill the hydrogen vehicle 14 with hydrogen gas.
