storage tank with compartment structure

Abstract

A storage tank provided with a partition chamber structure comprises a tank body. The tank body is provided with a bottom end, a release port end opposite to the bottom end and an inner space, and the distance from the bottom end of the tank body to the release port end is defined as a long shaft direction. At least one bearing plate is arranged in the inner space of the tank body in the long shaft direction, an at least one air breakover region is arranged on the bearing plate. At least one partition chamber structure and the bearing plate are arranged in the inner space of the tank body in an interactive mode, and the partition chamber structure consists of a plurality of partition chambers defined by partition plates, and a predetermined amount of air storage materials are accommodated in each partition chamber. The storage tank provided with the partition chamber structure can accommodate and separate the air storage materials through the plurality of partition chambers in a blocking mode, and separators for bearing the air storage materials can strengthen tightness and structural strength of the partition chamber structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the design of a storage tank, in particular to a storage tank with a compartment structure. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell (FuelCell) is a device that directly uses hydrogen-containing fuel and air to generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction. This is why it is classified as a new energy source. The "hydrogen" fuel used by the fuel cell can come from any hydrocarbon, such as: natural gas, methanol, ethanol (alcohol), electrolysis of water, biogas, etc. [0003] Hydrogen is usually filled into the gas storage tank of the metal hydride compound, so that the metal hydride compound absorbs hydrogen and stores it. When it is to be used, the storage tank is properly heated to release hydrogen and provide it to the application device. Therefore, various fuel cell manufacturers It is also eager to pursue a more stable and sustainable gas storage tank. [0004] However, most of the gas storage tanks u...

Problems solved by technology

However, since the gas storage material is generally powdery, and the gas storage material is accommodated in a single space in the tank, when the gas storage material has a certain volume, it cannot be heated evenly and stably, thereby causing the gas storage material to release gas ( e.g. hydrogen) with reduced efficiency

Therefore many persons skilled in the art have tried their best to develop a method for separating the gas storage material in the gas storage tank, but the effect is not obvious, and the partition is often deformed due to the expansion of the gas storage material when the gas storage material is inflated, so that the gas storage material leaks to the gas storage tank. Accumulation in other separation layers or uneven heating will affect the performance of the storage tank
