Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of laboratory safety protection technology, and in particular to a safety system and use method of a hydrogen fuel cell laboratory. Background Art

[0003] At present, major domestic testing institutions and large automobile manufacturers have successively built hydrogen fuel cell laboratories. Since the laboratories involve hydrogen and the physical properties of hydrogen, it is easy to leak or even burn and explode during operation, causing safety accidents. Therefore, hydrogen fuel cell laboratories need to be built in accordance with the standards of Class A factories. The special requirements of Class A factories for fire and explosion prevention result in the cost of building materials required being 1.5 to 2 times higher than that of ordinary factories. Therefore, after comprehensively considering the cost and safety requirements during the construction process, most hydrogen fuel cell laboratories no longer use traditional test rooms that only accommodate a single test equipment, but instead build large test areas to arrange many test equipment at the same time.

[0004] There are many hydrogen pipeline valves and test equipment inside the hydrogen fuel cell test room. During operation, there is a risk of hydrogen leakage at the joints of each valve and inside the test equipment. Therefore, various sensors, detectors and related alarm devices should be arranged in the hydrogen storage area, pipelines, test area and all test equipment. If the traditional safety control method is adopted, the alarm device alarm caused by the safety risk at any location will cause the equipment inside the test area to shut down. Since the hydrogen fuel cell test room currently built has multiple test equipment arranged in a large test area at the same time, if the safety risks are not graded, hastily shutting down all test equipment will cause unnecessary economic losses and affect the test efficiency. In fact, the safety risks of various risk points in the hydrogen fuel cell test room are not the same. They are mainly related to the amount of hydrogen leakage, leakage location, hydrogen pressure and surrounding environment. The safety risks of the hydrogen fuel cell test room are graded, and regional alarms are set. The safety control method is implemented according to different safety risk levels, which can reduce the economic losses caused by safety risks and improve the test efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a safety system and method for using a hydrogen fuel cell test laboratory to solve the problem in the related art that, after a safety hazard is identified, all test equipment is shut down, causing some equipment without safety hazards to also shut down, resulting in reduced experimental efficiency and increased experimental costs.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] The embodiments of the present application provide a safety system and method for use of a hydrogen fuel cell test laboratory, which can solve the problem that, after a safety hazard is identified, all test equipment is shut down in the existing hydrogen fuel cell test laboratory, causing some equipment without safety hazards to also shut down, resulting in reduced experimental efficiency and increased experimental costs.

[0040] See also Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a safety system for a hydrogen fuel cell test room, including:

[0041] The laboratory system includes a control area 5, a hydrogen storage area 2 and an equipment test area 4. A hydrogen supply pipeline 3 is connected between the hydrogen storage area 2 and the equipment test area 4. A plurality of test equipment 24 are arranged in the equipment test area 4.

[0042] Safety detection and control system: The safety control system is used for safety detection and protection of the laboratory system. The safety control system includes a detection system and a protection system.

[0043] The detection system is used to detect the hydrogen concentration and / or hydrogen pressure and / or temperature and / or flow rate of the hydrogen storage area 2 or the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 or the equipment test area 4 or each test equipment 24, and to perform graded prevention and control through the protection system according to different values ​​of hydrogen concentration, hydrogen pressure, temperature and flow rate;

[0044] or

[0045] The detection system is used to detect whether there is flame and / or smoke in the hydrogen storage area 2 or the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 or the equipment test area 4 or each test equipment 24, and the prevention and control system is used for graded prevention and control by detecting whether there is smoke or flame.

[0046] By setting up a detection system and a protection system in the laboratory system, if hydrogen leakage or abnormal hydrogen state occurs at any position of the hydrogen storage area 2, the equipment test area 4 and the hydrogen supply pipeline 3, the corresponding position can be detected and controlled according to the actual state, so that the safety system can control the hydrogen state of each position more accurately through hierarchical control, and can accurately control the abnormal area, reduce the economic losses caused by safety risks and improve the test efficiency.

[0047] Avoid the situation where a safety risk alarm occurs at any location in the existing laboratory safety system, which will cause the equipment in the test area to shut down, resulting in unnecessary economic losses and affecting the test efficiency.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, in the safety system of the hydrogen fuel cell test room, the detection system includes a plurality of hydrogen concentration sensors 6 and / or a plurality of pressure sensors 8 and / or a plurality of temperature sensors 10 and / or a plurality of hydrogen flow meters 26 arranged in the hydrogen storage area 2, the hydrogen supply pipeline 3, the equipment test area 4 and each test equipment 24. Among them, the hydrogen concentration sensors 6 in the hydrogen storage area 2, the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 and the equipment test area 4 are diffusion type, because they are used in the area and therefore require a wide range of sensing, and the hydrogen concentration sensors 6 of each test equipment 24 are pump-suction type, which can more accurately sense the hydrogen concentration of each test equipment 24.

[0049] Among them, a hydrogen concentration sensor 6 is provided on the hydrogen storage area 2 , the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 , the equipment testing area 4 and each testing equipment 24 .

[0050] Among them, a pressure sensor 8 is provided on the hydrogen storage area 2 , the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 and each test equipment 24 .

[0051] Among them, a temperature sensor 10 is provided on the hydrogen storage area 2 , the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 , the equipment testing area 4 and each testing equipment 24 .

[0052] A hydrogen flow meter 26 is provided at the output end of the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 , and a hydrogen flow meter 26 is provided at the input end of each test device 24 of the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 .

[0053] By monitoring various abnormal conditions in various areas of the laboratory system through the above-mentioned device, the occurrence of abnormal conditions can be timely and accurately controlled, and the abnormal condition areas can be timely prevented and controlled.

[0054] The hydrogen concentration sensor 6 is preferably a high-precision pump-suction sensor and a diffusion sensor. The accuracy of the high-precision pump-suction hydrogen concentration sensor is not less than 100ppm, and the response speed is not more than 30s.

It is mainly arranged at the highest point on the top of the laboratory.

[0055] The high-precision pump-suction hydrogen concentration sensor can accurately sense the hydrogen concentration around each test equipment 24, and can accurately sense each test equipment 24 to avoid large-scale measurement of hydrogen concentration. When the concentration exceeds the standard, all test equipment 24 need to be shut down. The high-precision pump-suction hydrogen concentration sensor can shut down the corresponding test equipment. At the same time, the alarm concentrations generated by the test equipment 24 and the laboratory are also different, which can provide better targeted warning and protection, and improve the accuracy of protection.

[0056] The hydrogen flowmeter 26 is preferably a mass flowmeter with an accuracy of not less than ±1% FS. The hydrogen flowmeter 26 is respectively arranged on the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 and at the air inlets of various areas and equipment connected to the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 that need to use hydrogen. The hydrogen supply pipeline 3 arranged outside the test room is detected by the hydrogen flowmeter 26 because the outdoor space is open and it is not convenient to sense the change of hydrogen concentration by concentration. Therefore, the hydrogen flowmeter 26 is used to sense and detect whether the hydrogen flow rate changes and to give an alarm.

[0057] By setting various sensors in various areas of the laboratory, and each test device 24 is individually provided with a corresponding sensor, a large-range sensing sensor is set on the hydrogen supply pipeline 3, and a sensor is individually set at the connection port, the laboratory can sense the changes in hydrogen in a large range, and can also accurately sense the changes in hydrogen at important locations, realize multi-level control safety management, and accurately control safety management, avoiding the one-size-fits-all protection method of existing hydrogen fuel laboratories in safety protection that affects the work of the laboratory.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, in the safety system of the hydrogen fuel cell test room, the protection system includes a high-pressure fine water spray 23 and an exhaust fan 20 respectively arranged in the hydrogen storage area 2 and the equipment test area 4, a vent pipe 22 integrally connected with the hydrogen supply pipeline 3, and a solenoid valve group arranged on the hydrogen supply pipeline 3;

[0066] The solenoid valve group includes two first solenoid valves 14 for controlling the output ends of the hydrogen container 16 and the hydrogen bundle vehicle 17 respectively, a second solenoid valve 30 for controlling the hydrogen supply pipeline 3 and a third solenoid valve 31 for controlling the input ends of each test equipment 24 .
