Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the storage of gaseous hydrogen and in particular to the use of an ionic liquid in the storage of gaseous hydrogen at hydrogen fueling stations.
- Hydrogen is utilized in a wide variety of industries ranging from aerospace to food production to oil and gas production and refining. Hydrogen is used in these industries as a propellant, an atmosphere, a carrier gas, a diluents gas, a fuel component for combustion reactions, a fuel for fuel cells, as well as a reducing agent in numerous chemical reactions and processes. In addition, hydrogen is being considered as an alternative fuel for power generation because it is renewable, abundant, efficient, and unlike other alternatives, produces zero emissions. While there is wide-spread consumption of hydrogen and great potential for even more, a disadvantage which inhibits further increases in hydrogen consumption is the absence of a hydrogen infrastructure to provide widespread generation, storage and distribution.
- Hydrocarbon-based fuels such as natural gas, LPG, gasoline, and diesel
- SR steam reforming
- ATR autothermal reforming
- CPOX catalytic partial oxidation
- POX non-catalytic partial oxidation
- the clean-up processes are usually comprised of a combination of desulphurization, high temperature water-gas shift, low temperature water-gas shift, selective CO oxidation, selective CO methanation or combinations thereof.
- Alternative processes for recovering a purified hydrogen-rich reformate include the use of hydrogen selective membrane reactors and filters.
- gaseous hydrogen is then compressed and stored in stationary storage tanks at the hydrogen fueling stations to provide inventory to fuel internal combustion engines and fuel cell vehicles.
- the storage of gaseous hydrogen at hydrogen fueling stations is extremely expensive due to its low density. Large volumes of gaseous hydrogen are required to provide sufficient inventory which results in a large footprint for the storage. This large footprint is problematic as space is at a premium at a fueling station.
- ensuring the complete filling of vehicles is another issue related to the operation of a hydrogen fueling station. Compression of the stored gas into the vehicle would require a prohibitively large compressor to achieve the fueling rates required.
- Pressure equalization is used to fuel the on-board storage tanks of vehicles.
- the pressure differential between the storage at the hydrogen fueling station and the vehicle is used to drive the fueling process.
- High pressure is required to achieve "full” fill density.
- This high pressure requires a corresponding inventory of "low” pressure gas. Specifically, for 1 kg of gas above 350 bar, over 5 kg of gas below 350 bar is needed. The result is “stranded” gas in the storage tanks.
- the stranded gas is the low pressure gas which was needed to have a volume of high pressure gas available for dispensing.
- FIG. 1 shows a comparison of vehicle percentage full versus storage inventory from data from a demonstration hydrogen fueling station.
- the rate of the fill is another issue related to the operation of a hydrogen fueling station. Differential pressure is used to drive the gaseous hydrogen from storage tanks to the vehicle. Therefore, the rate at which a vehicle is filled depends on the storage pressure. A high pressure differential corresponds to a high flow rate and shorter fueling time.
- a low pressure differential corresponds to a low flow rate and a longer fueling time.
- DOE Department of Energy
- the current target for the average fill rate is 1 kg/min (2006).
- the future target for the average fill rate is 1.67 kg/min (2010).
- FIG. 2 shows a data comparison of fill rate versus storage inventory from two demonstration hydrogen fueling stations. As shown in FIG. 2, the average flow rate can be reduced when the storage is not full. When storage is less than 85% full the fill rate can drop below the 1 kg/min target.
- the present invention addresses the need to reduce both the cost and size of hydrogen storage at hydrogen fueling stations. In addition, the present invention also addresses the need to provide a complete and fast fill.
- ionic liquid is used to displace the volume in the storage tanks.
- the storage pressure can remain constant and the "stranded" gas can be eliminated.
- This constant pressure will also allow for a reduction in the number of storage tanks needed to provide the required inventory at hydrogen fueling stations. In addition, this constant pressure will provide a complete and fast fill to the vehicle.
- FIG. 1 shows a comparison of vehicle percentage full versus storage inventory from data from a demonstration hydrogen fueling station.
- FIG. 2 shows a data comparison of fill rate versus storage inventory from two demonstration hydrogen fueling stations.
- FIG. 3 depicts one embodiment of the methods of the present invention employing an ionic liquid in the storage of gaseous hydrogen.
- the present invention discloses methods for storing gaseous hydrogen at hydrogen fueling stations.
- the methods of the present invention employ ionic liquids to displace the volume in the storage tanks.
- ionic liquids By using an ionic liquid to displace the volume in the hydrogen storage tanks, the volume of the storage tanks is allowed to vary.
- the pressure of the hydrogen storage tanks can be kept constant while the mass in the tanks varies.
- Ionic liquids represent a class of salts with melting points less than 100 0 C. Ionic liquids comprise positively (cations) and negatively (anions) charged ions. Ionic liquids are distinguished by a range of properties including, but not limited to, negligible vapor pressure, thermal stability, nonflammability, high ionic conductivity, and remarkable solvating properties. Ionic liquids are commercially available from companies such as Merck Chemicals.
- an ionic liquid is used to displace the volume in the hydrogen storage tanks during fueling.
- an ionic liquid will not contaminate high purity hydrogen due to its low vapor pressure. There can be minimal retention of hydrogen in the ionic liquid due to its low solubility (in the ionic liquid) and there will be separation of the hydrogen and the ionic liquid.
- the ionic liquid selected for the present invention will have a low vapor pressure, however, as one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate, not all ionic liquids will be suitable for this purpose.
- FIG. 3 depicts one embodiment of the methods of the present invention.
- a vehicle 301 visits a hydrogen fueling station 302 for fueling.
- the gaseous hydrogen will be dispensed to the vehicle 301 via a dispenser 303.
- a compressor 304 will increase the pressure of gaseous hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank 305 to approximately 6250 psig.
- the differential pressure between the vehicle 301 and the storage tank 305 will then drive the fueling of the vehicle 301.
- a pump 306 will be used to pump the ionic liquid from the ionic liquid storage tank 307 to the hydrogen storage tank 305.
- the pump 306 will maintain the pressure of the hydrogen storage tank 305 during fueling by displacing the hydrogen storage tank 305 volume and filling the hydrogen storage tank 305 with the ionic liquid.
- the compressor 304 replenishes the inventory of gaseous hydrogen in the gaseous hydrogen storage tank 305 from the hydrogen generator (not shown), the ionic liquid is displaced. With the methods of the present invention, there will be a horsepower savings in pumping the ionic liquid versus compressing the hydrogen gas. [0019] Without the use of an ionic liquid, 5 kg of gas below 350 bar is needed for 1 kg of gas above 350 bar. This low pressure gas is "stranded" gas. The maintenance of constant pressure in the hydrogen storage tank 305 and the elimination of "stranded" gas by the use of the ionic liquid will allow for the reduction in the number of storage tanks 305 required to maintain the necessary inventory for the hydrogen fueling station 302.
- one hydrogen storage tank 305 is shown.
- one or more hydrogen storage tanks may be used at a hydrogen fueling station. These tanks may be arranged as one large tank or arranged in "cascade" format.
- hydrostatic storage tank is used interchangeably with “hydrogen storage tanks” and both refer to one or more than one hydrogen storage tank.
- vehicles 301 can achieve both a full and fast fill both of which are dependent on the pressure in the hydrogen storage tank 305.
- the vehicles 301 may include any hydrogen internal combustion engines or fuel cell vehicles including, but not limited to, automobiles, trucks, sports utility vehicles, and buses.
- the compressor increased the pressure of the gaseous hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank to approximately 6250 psig.
- 6250 psig is used as an example.
- the methods of the present invention are not limited to increasing the pressure of the gaseous hydrogen to a pressure of approximately 6250 psig.
- the hydrogen storage could be maintained at a pressure close to the dispensing pressure and dispensing could still occur.
