Embodiment

[0027] This embodiment takes the hydrogen absorption and discharge of a titanium-iron alloy hydrogen storage tank as an example. The material of the U-shaped heat pipe 3a shell of the present invention is oxygen-free copper, the liquid-absorbing core is a powder sintered type, and the internal working medium is alcohol or acetone; the material of the tank body 1 is stainless steel, and the heat exchange medium flowing through the outer shell is Hot and cold water.

[0028] For the hydrogen filling process, hydrogen enters the gas guide structure 4 from the hydrogen inlet and outlet 10, and the gas enters the alloy powder bed 2 along the filter 4b and the air guide pipe 4a, and chemically reacts with the hydrogen storage alloy in the grid to form alloy powder , releasing a lot of heat. The heat is conducted to the evaporating section of the U-shaped heat pipe 3a through the copper fins of the grid fin 3b, and the working medium in the evaporating section of the heat pipe is ev...

Abstract

The invention discloses an outer immersion-embedding heat transfer enhancement alloy hydrogen storage tank. The tank is mainly composed of four parts including a tank body, a heat exchange structure,an alloy powder bed body and an air guide structure; the tank body is of a dual-layer shell structure, an inner-layer shell body is filled with the alloy powder bed body, and the heat exchange structure is embedded in the bed body; an outer-layer shell body is filled with a heat exchange medium, the whole inner-layer shell body is subjected to outer immersion into the heat exchange medium, and theheat exchange structure is formed by welding multiple U-shaped heat pipes arrayed in a regular polygon and multiple grid fins; one segment of each U-shaped heat pipe and the corresponding grid fin are welded into the alloy powder bed body, and the other segment of each U-shaped heat pipe is inserted into the heat exchange medium of the outer-layer shell body. When the alloy hydrogen storage tanksucks and releases hydrogen, heat is transmitted through the U-shaped heat pipes and can be directly exchanged through the heat exchange medium between the inner-layer shell body and the outer-layer shell body. Through an outer immersion-embedding heat transfer enhancement mode, the heat exchange efficiency of the alloy powder bed body is obviously improved, and the hydrogen suction and release performance of the alloy hydrogen storage tank is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alloy hydrogen storage, in particular to an external immersion-internal enhanced heat exchange alloy hydrogen storage tank. Background technique [0002] Today, hydrogen energy is considered as an ideal energy source to solve problems such as resource depletion and environmental pressure. The storage and transportation of alloy powder has the advantages of mild hydrogen absorption and desorption conditions, low storage and transportation pressure, good safety performance, and high purity of hydrogen desorption, so it is considered to be an ideal hydrogen energy storage and transportation method. [0003] However, due to the poor thermal conductivity of the alloy powder itself, a large amount of heat is released during the hydrogen absorption process, causing the alloy powder bed temperature to rise sharply, and the hydrogen absorption process slows down or even stops; the hydrogen desorption process needs...
