Description

一种储氢罐及氢能轨道车辆用储氢系统A hydrogen storage tank and a hydrogen storage system for a hydrogen energy rail vehicle 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种储氢罐及氢能轨道车辆用储氢系统,特别是一种氢能轨道车辆用固态储氢罐及储氢系统。The invention relates to a hydrogen storage tank and a hydrogen storage system for a hydrogen energy rail vehicle, in particular to a solid hydrogen storage tank and a hydrogen storage system for a hydrogen energy rail vehicle.
背景技术Background technique
目前,轨道交通车辆车载储氢方式多为高压储氢。相比高压储氢,固态储氢降低了加氢压力和存储压力,使氢气的车载存储和加氢过程更安全,同时,固态储氢方式具有高体积比能量密度优势,是未来车载储供氢的重要方式之一。将固态储氢应用于氢能轨道交通车辆,可提高车辆的储氢量,增加续航里程,提升氢能使用安全性。At present, the on-board hydrogen storage methods of rail transit vehicles are mostly high-pressure hydrogen storage. Compared with high-pressure hydrogen storage, solid-state hydrogen storage reduces hydrogenation pressure and storage pressure, making the on-board storage and hydrogenation process of hydrogen safer. one of the important ways. Applying solid-state hydrogen storage to hydrogen energy rail transit vehicles can increase the hydrogen storage capacity of the vehicle, increase the cruising range, and improve the safety of hydrogen energy use.
固态储氢的体积能量密度高,但重量能量密度只有高压储氢的三分之一。目前,常用的固态储氢罐材料为铝合金,由于铝合金密度为2.7-2.9g/cm 3,这使得现有固态储氢罐重量与其内部容置的储氢合金的重量比约为1:1,如此大的重量,使得固态储氢的重量储氢密度低。 The volumetric energy density of solid-state hydrogen storage is high, but the gravimetric energy density is only one-third of that of high-pressure hydrogen storage. At present, the commonly used solid hydrogen storage tank material is aluminum alloy. Since the density of aluminum alloy is 2.7-2.9g/cm 3 , this makes the weight ratio of the existing solid hydrogen storage tank to the hydrogen storage alloy contained inside it about 1: 1. Such a large weight makes the weight hydrogen storage density of solid-state hydrogen storage low.
另外,尽管储氢合金本身的体积储氢密度很高,但组成储氢系统后其体积储氢密度只有储氢合金的体积储氢密度的1/3-1/2,重量储氢密度也只有储氢合金的1/3-1/5,甚至更低。这中间的损失,是因为组成储氢系统后的加热和冷却都是通过在储氢罐内部设置换热管道实现,这些换热管道首尾相接而形成S状的一个流道,这使得换热管道中的介质需要以S型的曲线流经整个储氢罐内的储氢合金,但介质在流经前段储氢合金后温度已经上升或下降,继续流过剩余的储氢合金,其提供的热量或吸收的热量将远远无法达到后段储氢合金的反应速率需要,因而限制了储氢合金的充放氢速率。如果不顾储氢罐内温度的升高而继续让储氢合金反应,会超过储氢罐和系统部件的承受温度,使得系统报警,存在安全风险,从而导致系统无法正常工作。In addition, although the volume hydrogen storage density of the hydrogen storage alloy itself is very high, the volume hydrogen storage density of the hydrogen storage system is only 1/3-1/2 of the volume hydrogen storage density of the hydrogen storage alloy, and the weight hydrogen storage density is only 1/3-1/5 of the hydrogen storage alloy, or even lower. The loss in the middle is because the heating and cooling after the hydrogen storage system is formed is realized by setting heat exchange pipes inside the hydrogen storage tank, and these heat exchange pipes are connected end to end to form an S-shaped flow channel, which makes the heat exchange The medium in the pipeline needs to flow through the hydrogen storage alloy in the entire hydrogen storage tank in an S-shaped curve, but the temperature of the medium has risen or dropped after passing through the hydrogen storage alloy in the previous stage, and continues to flow through the remaining hydrogen storage alloy, which provides The heat or absorbed heat will be far from reaching the reaction rate requirement of the hydrogen storage alloy in the latter stage, thus limiting the hydrogen charging and discharging rate of the hydrogen storage alloy. If the hydrogen storage alloy continues to react regardless of the temperature rise in the hydrogen storage tank, it will exceed the withstand temperature of the hydrogen storage tank and system components, causing the system to alarm, posing a safety risk, and causing the system to fail to work normally.
中国发明专利申请CN113375039A公开了一种高压复合金属氢化物储氢罐及其储存氢气的方法,该储氢罐包括底座支架和底部开口的储氢罐外壳,储氢罐外壳密封扣装在底座支架上;储氢罐外壳上设有氢气入口和氢气出口;储氢罐外壳的内部设置储氢合金存储空间、气态氢气储存空隙和循环换热系统;储氢合金存储空间内填装有储氢合金,循环换热系统用于在储氢合金吸氢时吸收热量并在储氢合金放氢时对储氢合金进行加热。储氢罐外壳的内部由外向内依次竖向设置有多层滚筒,滚筒侧壁上开设有带滤网氢气孔;滚筒的底部设置在底座支架上,相邻滚筒之间的间隙形成储氢合金存储空间;气态氢气储存空隙包括第一气态氢气储存空隙和第二气态氢气储存空隙;位于最外层的滚筒外部与储氢罐外壳的内部形成用于存储气态氢气的第一气态氢气储存空隙,位于最内层的滚筒内部形成用于存储气态氢气的第二 气态氢气储存空隙。带滤网氢气孔包括设置在滚筒侧壁的通孔和滤网,滤网设置在通孔处;所述的带滤网氢气孔设置多个且均匀分布在滚筒侧壁上。相邻滚筒之间的侧壁上竖直周向间隔设置有多个换热片,储氢合金填装在相邻两换热片之间形成的空隙内储氢罐的内部设置有循环换热系统,循环换热系统包括进水管(以水为介质)、顶部分散水管、出水管、底部分散水管和多根平行于储氢罐轴线设置的纵向连接水管;进水管经所述顶板分散水管连接所述纵向连接水管的一端,出水管经所述底部分散水管连接所述纵向连接水管的另一端,纵向连接水管设置在滚筒侧面壁且位于换热片的两端,以通过纵向连接水管吸收换热片及储氢合金的能量实现吸、放氢时的换热。显然,由于纵向连接水管是设置在滚筒侧面壁并位于换热片的两端,且顶部分散水管、底部分散水管位于储氢合金外部,将会使得储氢合金产生的热量无法及时带走,储氢合金需要的热量也无法及时得到供给,从而使得储氢合金的充放氢速率受到了限制;另外,滚筒本身要占据一定体积,不利于体积储氢密度的提升。Chinese invention patent application CN113375039A discloses a high-pressure composite metal hydride hydrogen storage tank and its hydrogen storage method. The hydrogen storage tank includes a base bracket and a hydrogen storage tank shell with an opening at the bottom. The hydrogen storage tank shell is sealed and buckled on the base bracket. Above; the shell of the hydrogen storage tank is provided with a hydrogen inlet and a hydrogen outlet; the inside of the shell of the hydrogen storage tank is provided with a hydrogen storage alloy storage space, a gaseous hydrogen storage space and a circulation heat exchange system; the hydrogen storage alloy storage space is filled with a hydrogen storage alloy , the cyclic heat exchange system is used to absorb heat when the hydrogen storage alloy absorbs hydrogen and heat the hydrogen storage alloy when it desorbs hydrogen. The interior of the hydrogen storage tank shell is vertically arranged with multi-layer drums from outside to inside, and hydrogen holes with filter screens are opened on the side walls of the drums; the bottom of the drums is set on the base bracket, and the gap between adjacent drums forms a hydrogen storage alloy. The storage space; the gaseous hydrogen storage space includes a first gaseous hydrogen storage space and a second gaseous hydrogen storage space; the outside of the outermost drum and the interior of the hydrogen storage tank shell form a first gaseous hydrogen storage space for storing gaseous hydrogen, A second gaseous hydrogen storage void for storing gaseous hydrogen is formed inside the innermost drum.

The energy of the heat sheet and the hydrogen storage alloy realizes heat exchange during hydrogen absorption and desorption. Obviously, since the longitudinally connected water pipes are arranged on the side wall of the drum and located at both ends of the heat exchange fins, and the top dispersion water pipe and the bottom dispersion water pipe are located outside the hydrogen storage alloy, the heat generated by the hydrogen storage alloy will not be taken away in time. The heat required by the hydrogen alloy cannot be supplied in time, so that the hydrogen charging and discharging rate of the hydrogen storage alloy is limited; in addition, the drum itself occupies a certain volume, which is not conducive to the increase of the volume hydrogen storage density.

The hydrogenation process is an exothermic reaction. When the quick interface of the hydrogenation gun is connected to the hydrogenation port 54 of the hydrogenation tank 5, the first pressure sensor 2 at the hydrogenation port 54 shows the pressure value change in the hydrogenation tank 5, and the ground coolant inlet valve 4 and the ground cooling The liquid outlet valve 6 is opened immediately, the cooling liquid in the ground cooling liquid device 3 flows quickly through the capillary heat exchange tube 52 in the hydrogen storage tank 5 and is heated, and the medium outlet of the capillary heat exchange tube 52 of the hydrogen storage tank 5 flows out to heat and cool The liquid is lowered in temperature after passing through the ground cooling circulation pump 7 and the first radiator 8, and returns to the ground cooling liquid device 3, and circulates like this; during this process, the inlet temperature sensor 9 and the outlet temperature sensor 10 monitor the hydrogen storage tank 5 The water temperature of the medium inlet and the water inlet of the capillary heat exchange tube 52, and according to the temperature change, adjust the power of the first radiator 8 to ensure the hydrogen charging reaction goes smoothly.

The coolant flowing out from the coolant outlet of the hydrogen stack 13 passes through the vehicle coolant inlet. The valve 14 and the second heating plate 15 flow into the capillary heat exchange tubes 52 in the hydrogen storage tank 5, and the heated coolant flows through a number of capillary heat exchange tubes 52 in the hydrogen storage tank 5, which promotes the hydrogen gas in the hydrogen storage alloy 53. release, thus speeding up the hydrogen desorption rate, and meeting the hydrogen demand of the hydrogen stack 13 to the greatest extent.

Monitor the water temperature at the inlet and outlet of the capillary heat exchange tube 52. When the hydrogen stack 13 starts to work, the first heating plate 12 and the second heating plate 15 can be turned on to work at the same time due to the lack of heat required for hydrogen release. As the reaction proceeds, the hydrogen stack 13 Power generation and heat generation, the power of the first heating plate 12 and the second heating plate 15 can be adjusted according to the temperature changes monitored by the inlet temperature sensor 9 and the outlet temperature sensor 10, and the power reduction operation or partial opening mode can be selected according to the heat dissipation demand to ensure Hydrogen release to the maximum extent.
散热冷却过程:无论是加氢过程还是放氢过程,冷却液都是通过储氢罐5内置的若干细小毛细换热管52充分与储氢合金53接触,入口温度传感器9和出口温度传感器10迅速响应,第一加热板12和第二加热板15及时调节功率大小,加快吸氢/放氢速率,从而增大吸氢/放氢量和缩短充氢时间。Heat dissipation and cooling process: Whether it is a hydrogenation process or a hydrogenation process, the coolant is fully in contact with the hydrogen storage alloy 53 through a number of small capillary heat exchange tubes 52 built in the hydrogen storage tank 5, and the inlet temperature sensor 9 and the outlet temperature sensor 10 quickly In response, the first heating plate 12 and the second heating plate 15 adjust the power in time to speed up the hydrogen absorption/desorption rate, thereby increasing the hydrogen absorption/desorption capacity and shortening the hydrogen charging time.
