[0058] As shown in the fluid flow path schematic diagram of the present application, Figure 6 As shown in the fluid flow path schematic diagram of the present application,

[0059] By adding the methanol supply control electromagnetic valve 12 and the gas supply control electromagnetic valve 11 on the pipeline connected with the methanol aqueous solution inlet 6 and the tail gas inlet 7, the device can change the working condition and control the conveying of the methanol aqueous solution and the tail gas to ensure the normal operation of the device.

[0060] A control strategy of a methanol reforming hydrogen production device using high-temperature gas heating, the specific steps are as follows:

[0061] S01: first open the exhaust control solenoid valve 11, the appropriate amount of exhaust gas into the heat exchange passage 5 in the exhaust gas passage, preheating the passage, reach the preset temperature, open the methanol supply control solenoid valve 12, methanol solution pump 13, the methanol solution into the heat exchange passage 5 in the methanol vapor passage, according to the display parameters of hydrogen production monitoring device 16, record the reaction temperature, hydrogen content, record the reaction temperature, adjust the degree of opening of exhaust control solenoid valve 11, the best temperature is obtained;

[0062] S02: adjust the working condition, under the condition that the exhaust gas temperature of exhaust gas inlet 6 is higher than the optimum reaction temperature, the present application has two kinds of adjusting working condition methods;

[0063] As shown in Figure 7 , the first adjusting method: according to the preset hydrogen-doped ratio of internal combustion engine, determine the heat required by methanol solution; Determine the hydrogen-doped ratio of internal combustion engine, the mass of methanol solution and the heat required by methanol solution can be determined. When the heat supplied by exhaust gas exceeds the heat required by methanol vapor to reach the optimum reaction temperature, reduce the degree of opening of exhaust control solenoid valve 11; When the heat supplied by exhaust gas is within the range of 95% to 100% of the heat required by methanol vapor to reach the optimum reaction temperature, methanol solution pump 13 will be reduced to the appropriate power; When the heat supplied by exhaust gas is less than 95% of the heat required by methanol vapor to reach the optimum reaction temperature, methanol supply control solenoid valve 12 is completely closed, methanol solution pump 13 stops working, exhaust control solenoid valve 11 is completely opened, and the temperature of methanol reforming hydrogen production device is maintained; In the above case, if the knock sensor 17 receives a knock signal, reduce the opening degree of exhaust control solenoid valve 11 to 90%, reduce the power of methanol solution pump 13 to 90%, then reduce the content of exhaust gas and methanol solution to 90% of the original;

[0064] Specifically:

[0065] According to the mass of injected fuel m, determine the mass of hydrogen M required 氢 =m×p%, p% is the hydrogen-doped ratio of internal combustion engine; According to the mass of hydrogen, determine the mass of methanol solution M 甲水 ;

[0066] The methanol solution reaches t w , the heat required to be absorbed is Q1=C 溶液 M 甲水 (t w -t s ), wherein C 溶液 is the specific heat capacity of methanol solution; t s is the initial temperature; t w is the reaction temperature of methanol solution;

[0067] The volume of exhaust gas is V尾气 Then the maximum heat generated by the exhaust gas is Q2 = C 尾气 V 尾气 ρ 尾气 (t i -t o ), where: C 尾气 ρ is the specific heat capacity of the exhaust gas. 尾气 The density of the exhaust gas; t i t represents the temperature at the inlet of the exhaust spiral channel. o The temperature at the outlet of the exhaust spiral channel;

[0068] When t i >t s In case 1: If Q2 / K > Q1, then by reducing the opening of the exhaust gas control solenoid valve 11, Q′2 = KQ1, where K is the heat loss coefficient of the two-layer spiral disc heat exchange channel; Q′2 is the heat generated by the exhaust gas after adjusting the opening of the exhaust gas control solenoid valve 11.

[0069] Case 2: If 0.95Q1≤Q2 / K≤Q1, then by reducing the flow rate of the methanol-water solution, Q′1=Q2 / K can be achieved, where Q′1 is the value at which the flow rate of the methanol-water solution reaches t. w The amount of heat that needs to be absorbed; specifically, reducing the flow rate of the methanol-water solution is as follows:

[0070] The heat exchange time required to obtain the methanol-water solution is Where λ is the heat flux density and S is the total heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange channels;

[0071] The length of the heat exchange channel is L, and the flow rate of the methanol-water solution is... Determine the output flow rate υ of methanol-water solution pump 13 溶液 The power can be reduced by decreasing the power of the methanol-water solution pump 13 or by changing the temperature t at the outlet of the exhaust gas spiral channel. o This reduces the flow rate of the methanol-water solution.

[0072] Case 3: If Q2 / K < 0.95Q1, then only the preheating of the methanol vapor spiral channel in the exhaust gas delivery system is controlled.

[0073] Scenario 4: If the internal combustion engine knock sensor receives a knock signal, the content of exhaust gas and methanol-water solution entering the device will be reduced to 90% of the original level.

[0074] like Figure 8The second adjusting method is shown in the figure. The heat absorbed by the methanol solution when the methanol supply control electromagnetic valve 12 is fully opened and the heat lost by the exhaust gas when the exhaust gas control electromagnetic valve 11 is fully opened are used as the basis. When the heat supplied by the exhaust gas exceeds 130% of the heat required by the methanol vapor to reach the optimal reaction temperature, the degree of opening of the exhaust gas control electromagnetic valve 11 is reduced. When the heat supplied by the exhaust gas is within the range of 100% to 130% of the heat required by the methanol vapor to reach the optimal reaction temperature, the methanol supply control electromagnetic valve 12 is fully opened and the methanol solution pump 13 is increased to the appropriate power. When the heat supplied by the exhaust gas is within the range of 70% to 100% of the heat required by the methanol vapor to reach the optimal reaction temperature, the exhaust gas control electromagnetic valve 11 is fully opened and the methanol solution pump 13 is reduced to the appropriate power. When the heat supplied by the exhaust gas is less than 70% of the heat required by the methanol vapor to reach the optimal reaction temperature, the methanol supply control electromagnetic valve 12 is fully closed, the methanol solution pump 13 is no longer working, and the exhaust gas control electromagnetic valve 11 is fully opened to maintain the temperature of the methanol reforming hydrogen production device. In the above cases, if the knock sensor 17 receives a knock signal, the degree of opening of the exhaust gas control electromagnetic valve 11 is reduced to 90% and the power of the methanol solution pump 13 is reduced to 90%, which reduces the content of the exhaust gas and the methanol solution to 90% of the original.

[0075] Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

[0076] Determine the heat Q3 required by the methanol solution when the methanol supply control electromagnetic valve 12 is fully opened, which is C 溶液 qv 溶液 ρ 溶液 (t w -t s );

[0077] Determine the heat Q2 lost by the exhaust gas when the exhaust gas control electromagnetic valve 11 is fully opened, which is C 尾气 qv 尾气 ρ 尾气 (t i -t o ), where qv 溶液 is the flow rate of the methanol solution.

[0078] When t i > t w , case one: if Q2 / K > 1.3Q3, reduce the opening degree of the exhaust gas control electromagnetic valve 11 so that Q'2 = KQ3, where K is the heat loss coefficient of the two-layer spiral disc-shaped heat exchange channel; Q'2 is the heat generated by the exhaust gas after adjusting the opening degree of the exhaust gas control electromagnetic valve 11.

[0079] Case two: if Q3 < Q2 / K ≤ 1.3Q3, increase the flow rate of the methanol solution so that Q'3 = Q2 / K, where Q'3 is the heat absorbed by the methanol solution after adjusting the flow rate of the methanol solution to reach tw heat to be absorbed;

[0080] Case three: if 0.7Q3≤Q2 / K≤Q3, then by reducing the flow of methanol water solution, Q'3=Q2 / K;

[0081] Case four: if 0.7Q3>Q2 / K, then only control the exhaust gas delivery system to preheat the methanol steam spiral channel.
