Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of liquid hydrogen storage and filling, and in particular relates to a high-pressure gas hydrogen and liquid hydrogen combined filling system and method for recovering liquid hydrogen cold energy. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen fuel cells are regarded as a highly potential power source, especially in the field of transportation. To this end, the development of safe, efficient and low-energy hydrogenation technology has important engineering practical value. Hydrogenation stations mainly include high-pressure gaseous hydrogen filling and liquid hydrogen filling. Liquid hydrogen filling stations occupy a small area, have a high degree of safety and low transportation costs. With the development of the hydrogen energy industry and the advancement of hydrogen liquefaction technology, liquid hydrogen filling stations may become mainstream. At present, hydrogen storage methods in hydrogen energy vehicles include 35MPa high-pressure gas cylinder hydrogen storage, 70MPa high-pressure gas cylinder hydrogen storage, and liquid hydrogen storage. For this reason, hydrogenation stations still coexist with high-pressure gas hydrogen filling and liquid hydrogen filling. Due to the high efficiency of liquid hydrogen pressurization, low energy consumption, and multiple modes of high-pressure gas hydrogen filling and liquid hydrogen filling, it has the advantages of flexible and diverse hydrogen supply. However, liquid hydrogen filling stations need to solve problems such as liquid hydrogen storage, liquid hydrogen pressurization, boil-off gas treatment, and liquid hydrogen cold energy recovery and utilization, which are more technically difficult.

[0003] Boiling off gas (BOG) is evaporated hydrogen produced during the storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen due to factors such as heat leakage and flash evaporation. Boil-off gas can cause overpressure in liquid hydrogen storage tanks. If not resolved in a timely manner, it will pose a safety hazard to the tanks. At present, the most common way to deal with boil-off gas in hydrogen refueling stations is to discharge it directly or compress it to 45MPa for refueling. For the direct compression solution, the boil-off gas is compressed from the tank pressure of 0.1-0.2MPa to 45MPa. The pressure ratio is large, the energy consumption is high, and the amount of boil-off gas is small and unstable. Therefore, this solution is not economical in terms of energy consumption and equipment investment.

[0004] Liquid hydrogen releases a large amount of cold energy during the process of heating and gasification. The reasonable recovery of this cold energy is crucial to reducing the energy consumption of liquid hydrogen refueling stations. At present, there are many new solutions for the recovery and utilization of liquid hydrogen cold energy and the treatment of boil-off gas in liquid hydrogen refueling stations at home and abroad; for example: Chinese patent application number CN115013721A discloses a high-efficiency liquid hydrogen refueling station hydrogenation system and method, which realizes boil-off gas recondensation by pressurizing liquid hydrogen and boil-off gas separately and then mixing them, and recovers liquid hydrogen cold energy for cooling the high-pressure gas hydrogen to be filled. Chinese patent application CN108561749A discloses a mixed filling system for liquid hydrogen refueling station, which uses a compressor to compress the boil-off gas and temporarily stores it in a storage tank, and uses liquid hydrogen cold energy to reduce the boil-off gas compression temperature and the filling high-pressure gas hydrogen temperature; in the above schemes, the boil-off gas treatment scheme still uses a compressor to compress the boil-off gas, which cannot reduce the additional equipment investment caused by the boil-off gas; Chinese patent application CN117287628A discloses a liquid hydrogen booster type hydrogen refueling station and its operation method, which uses a solid cold box cold storage method to store liquid hydrogen cold energy for gas hydrogen compression and cooling and cooling the filled high-pressure gas hydrogen; but this scheme uses liquid hydrogen cold energy in a higher temperature zone, resulting in a large amount of precious low temperature zone cold energy being inefficiently used; Chinese patent CN217875296U discloses a cascade liquid hydrogen refueling station cold energy recovery system, which uses nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and ethylene glycol solution as working fluids to achieve three-level recovery of liquid hydrogen cold energy, but this scheme is complex and cannot solve the problem of liquid hydrogen cold energy application in different temperature zones, and does not propose a more suitable boil-off gas treatment scheme.

The low-temperature and high-pressure liquid hydrogen at the hot side outlet of the sixth heat exchanger 16 enters the ejector 18 as a working fluid, and the evaporated gas is recondensed in the ejector 18 and then enters the medium-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 19 for storage. The liquid hydrogen in the medium-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 19 can be filled with liquid hydrogen through the second valve 20, or part of it can be expanded and cooled through the throttle valve 34 and then refluxed to the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate meeting the high-pressure hydrogen filling needs of different pressures, the first cryogenic liquid hydrogen pump 2 adopts a 45MPa cryogenic liquid hydrogen pump, and the second cryogenic liquid hydrogen pump 3 adopts a 90MPa cryogenic liquid hydrogen pump; the first high-pressure gas storage cylinder 7 adopts a 45MPa high-pressure gas storage cylinder, and the second high-pressure gas storage cylinder 8 adopts a 90MPa high-pressure gas storage cylinder; the filling cooling system 32 adopts a 35MPa filling cooling system, and the filling cooler 31 adopts a 70MPa filling cooler 31.

[0034] In the present embodiment, it should be noted that: taking the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 as an example, since the entire system provided in the present embodiment belongs to a complete large circulation system, the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 is included in the high-pressure gas hydrogen filling system and is also a component of the hydrogen liquefaction system; that is to say, the repeated components appearing in the above-mentioned two different systems are all common components, realizing the overall system circulation of the high-pressure gas hydrogen and liquid hydrogen combined filling system for recovering liquid hydrogen cold energy.

[0035] In this embodiment, in the first liquid hydrogen evaporator 4, the second liquid hydrogen evaporator 5 and the cold energy recovery device 6, the cold energy of evaporation of high-pressure liquid hydrogen and the cold energy released by heating from the boiling point to room temperature are recovered by the circulating gas; according to the required temperature zone, the cold energy recovered from the circulating gas is successively used for hydrogen liquefaction pre-cooling and high-pressure hydrogen filling cooling in the filling cooler 31.

[0036] In this embodiment, the circulating gas is an inert gas; the inert gas may be nitrogen or argon.

[0037] In this embodiment, the filling cooling system 32 uses a vapor compression refrigeration system to cool the high-pressure hydrogen to -20°C; the filling cooler 31 uses the cold energy of the low-temperature circulating gas at the cold side outlet 12 of the second heat exchanger to cool the high-pressure hydrogen to -40°C.

[0038] In this embodiment, the boil-off gas BOG serving as the ejected fluid of the ejector 18 is drawn out from the top of the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1; the high-pressure liquid hydrogen serving as the working fluid of the ejector 18 is composed of two parts: the high-pressure liquid hydrogen at the outlet of the sixth heat exchanger 16 and the high-pressure liquid hydrogen at the outlet of the low-pressure liquid hydrogen pump 33.

[0039] In this embodiment, the high-purity hydrogen required at the inlet of the hydrogen liquefaction system comes from hydrogen transported by a high-pressure pipeline, or is obtained by purifying and compressing low-pressure hydrogen. The hot runners of the first heat exchanger 11, the second heat exchanger 12, the third heat exchanger 13, the fourth heat exchanger 14, and the fifth heat exchanger 15 of the hydrogen liquefaction system are filled with an ortho-para-conversion catalyst, and a continuous conversion method is used to catalyze the conversion of ortho-hydrogen into para-hydrogen, and finally a high-pressure hydrogen stream with a para-hydrogen ratio of 95% is obtained at the outlet of the fifth heat exchanger 15.

[0040] In this embodiment, the liquid hydrogen in the medium-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 19 can be directly used for liquid hydrogen filling, or can be partially throttled by the throttle valve 34 and enter the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 to replenish the low-pressure liquid hydrogen therein.

[0041] Example 2 This embodiment provides an implementation method of a high-pressure gas-hydrogen-liquid hydrogen combined filling system for recovering liquid hydrogen cold energy, that is, a working method. Based on the high-pressure gas-hydrogen-liquid hydrogen combined filling system for recovering liquid hydrogen cold energy provided in Example 1, the specific implementation process is as follows: In the high-pressure gas hydrogen filling system of this embodiment, the liquid hydrogen in the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 enters the 45MPa low-temperature liquid hydrogen pump 2 and the 90MPa low-temperature liquid hydrogen pump 3 respectively, and enters the first liquid hydrogen evaporator 4 and the second liquid hydrogen evaporator 5 respectively after being pressurized to 45MPa and 90MPa by the low-temperature liquid hydrogen pumps. The high-pressure liquid hydrogen is gasified and heated to 213K in the first liquid hydrogen evaporator 4 and the second liquid hydrogen evaporator 5, and then further heated to 298.15K in the cold energy recovery device 6 and stored in the 45MPa high-pressure gas storage cylinder 7 and the 90MPa high-pressure gas storage cylinder 8 respectively. When 35MPa high-pressure hydrogen filling is required, the 45MPa high-pressure gas cylinder 7 opens the first outlet valve 9, and the high-pressure hydrogen enters the 35MPa filling cooling system 32, which adopts a vapor compression refrigeration cycle to cool the high-pressure hydrogen from the ambient temperature of 298.15 K to 273.15 K. After the high-pressure hydrogen is cooled to 273.15 K, 35MPa filling is performed. When 70MPa high-pressure hydrogen filling is required, the 90MPa high-pressure gas cylinder 8 opens the second outlet valve 10, and the high-pressure hydrogen enters the 70MPa filling cooler 31. The high-pressure hydrogen in the 70MPa filling cooler 31 is cooled to 233.15 K by the low-temperature circulating gas from the outlet of the second heat exchanger 12, and the high-pressure hydrogen at the outlet of the 70MPa filling cooler 31 is filled at 70 MPa.

[0042] In the liquid hydrogen cold energy recovery system with circulating gas cooling in this embodiment, the circulating gas compressor 29 pressurizes the circulating gas from 0.1 MPa to 0.2 MPa to overcome the pressure loss in the heat exchanger during the circulating gas circulation process. The high-pressure circulating gas at the outlet of the circulating gas compressor 29 is cooled to 300 K by the circulating gas cooler 30, and then enters the cold energy recovery device 6 to be cooled to 219 K by high-pressure liquid hydrogen. The circulating gas at the outlet of the cold energy recovery device 6 is divided into two streams by the splitter, with a mass ratio of 50.06% and 49.94% respectively, and enters the first liquid hydrogen evaporator 4 and the second liquid hydrogen evaporator 5 to recover liquid hydrogen cold energy respectively. The circulating gas at the outlet of the first liquid hydrogen evaporator 4 is cooled to 81.47 K, and then enters the third heat exchanger 13 to provide cold energy for hydrogen liquefaction. The circulating gas at the outlet of the second liquid hydrogen evaporator 5 is cooled to 87.85 K, and then mixed with the circulating gas at the outlet of the third heat exchanger 13 and enters the second heat exchanger 12. The low-temperature circulating gas that recovers the cold energy of liquid hydrogen exchanges heat with hydrogen in the third heat exchanger 13 and the second heat exchanger 12. The temperatures of the circulating gases at the outlets of the third heat exchanger 13 and the second heat exchanger 12 are respectively raised to 86.29K and 231K. The circulating gas at the outlet of the second heat exchanger 12 is divided into two streams by a flow splitter, with the mass proportions being 52.25% and 47.75% respectively. Stream 1 enters the first heat exchanger 11 to exchange heat with the high-pressure hydrogen at the inlet of the hydrogen liquefaction system, and stream 2 enters the 70MPa charging cooler 31 to provide cold energy for cooling the high-pressure hydrogen. The temperatures of the circulating gases at the outlets of the first heat exchanger 11 and the 70MPa charging cooler 31 are 279K and 296K respectively. The circulating gases at the outlets of the first heat exchanger 11 and the 70MPa charging cooler 31 are mixed and enter the circulating gas compressor 29 to form a circulating gas cycle.

[0043] In the hydrogen liquefaction system of this embodiment, the high-purity hydrogen required for hydrogen liquefaction comes from hydrogen transported by high-pressure pipelines, or is obtained by purifying and compressing low-pressure hydrogen. The liquid hydrogen obtained by the hydrogen liquefaction system can make up for the liquid hydrogen required for high-pressure hydrogen filling. Hydrogen liquefaction mainly consists of two parts: the precooling stage and the deep cooling stage. In the precooling stage, the hydrogen liquefaction system mainly relies on the liquid hydrogen cold energy recovered from the circulating gas to achieve cooling. The hydrogen liquefied stream exchanges heat with the low-temperature circulating gas in the first heat exchanger 11, the second heat exchanger 12, and the third heat exchanger 13, and is cooled to 268.7 K, 95 K, and 83.5 K in succession. In the deep cooling stage, the hydrogen liquefaction system mainly relies on the cold energy obtained by the expansion of low-temperature helium. The hydrogen liquefied stream exchanges heat with the expanded low-temperature helium in the fourth heat exchanger 14, the fifth heat exchanger 15, and the sixth heat exchanger 16, and is cooled to 53.15 K, 33.15 K, and 22.5 K in turn. The high-pressure liquid hydrogen at the outlet of the sixth heat exchanger 16 enters the ejector 18 as a working fluid. In the helium reverse Brayton cycle, the total pressure ratio of the helium compressor unit 21 is 10, a three-stage compression design is selected, and three-stage equal pressure ratio compression is adopted. The exhaust temperature of each compressor is 421.5 K, and the helium at the outlet of each compressor is cooled to 298.15 K by the after-stage cooler 22. The exhaust pressure of the last compressor is 1 MPa. The high-pressure helium at the outlet of the helium compressor unit 21 is divided into three streams by a flow divider, with mass proportions of 29.56%, 51.25% and 18.19% respectively, and enter the seventh heat exchanger 23, the eighth heat exchanger 24 and the ninth heat exchanger 25 respectively to exchange heat with the reflux helium, and are cooled to 77.9 K, 50 K and 34.01 K respectively, and then enter the first cryogenic helium expander 26, the second cryogenic helium expander 27 and the third cryogenic helium expander 28 respectively. The low-temperature helium at the outlet of the expander enters the fourth heat exchanger 14, the fifth heat exchanger 15 and the sixth heat exchanger 16 respectively. The low-temperature helium streams in the above three heat exchangers are heated to 76.4 K, 48.3 K and 32.0 K respectively after heat exchange with the hydrogen liquefaction streams. K, the helium at the outlets of the fourth heat exchanger 14, the fifth heat exchanger 15, and the sixth heat exchanger 16 flow into the seventh heat exchanger 23, the eighth heat exchanger 24, and the ninth heat exchanger 25 as reflux gas, respectively. The reflux gas at the outlets of the above three heat exchangers is heated to 297.3 K, and the reflux gas at the outlets of the three heat exchangers is mixed and enters the helium compressor unit 21 to realize helium circulation. In this embodiment, the high-pressure hydrogen flow channels of the first heat exchanger 11, the second heat exchanger 12, the third heat exchanger 13, the fourth heat exchanger 14, and the fifth heat exchanger 15 are filled with ortho-parahydrogen conversion catalysts, and the orthohydrogen is converted into parahydrogen in a continuous conversion manner, and finally a high-pressure hydrogen stream with a parahydrogen ratio of 95% is obtained at the outlet of the fifth heat exchanger 15.

[0044] The core component of the liquid hydrogen filling and BOG treatment system in this embodiment is the ejector 18. In this system, the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 is connected to the low-pressure liquid hydrogen pump 33. The low-pressure liquid hydrogen pump 33 pressurizes the liquid hydrogen to 2.5 MPa and mixes it with the high-pressure liquid hydrogen at the outlet of the sixth heat exchanger 16. The mixed stream enters the ejector 18 as the working fluid, and the BOG drawn from the top of the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 enters the ejector 18 as the ejected fluid. The BOG is recondensed in the ejector 18, and the liquid hydrogen at the outlet of the ejector 18 enters the medium-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 19 for temporary storage. The liquid hydrogen in the medium-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 19 can be directly used for liquid hydrogen filling after pressurization, or it can be partially throttled and depressurized by the throttle valve 34 and enter the low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 to replenish the liquid hydrogen therein.

[0045] In order to further demonstrate the beneficial effects of this embodiment, Figure 1 The process simulation calculation was carried out, and the key operating parameters and key performance evaluation indicators are listed in Table 1. The ambient temperature was 298.15K, and the ambient pressure was 0.1MPa; the mass flow rates of 45MPa and 90MPa high-pressure hydrogen and the mass flow rates of liquefied hydrogen in the hydrogen liquefaction system were set to 100 kg / h, 100 kg / h, and 200 kg / h, respectively; nitrogen was used as the circulating gas, and the outlet pressure of the circulating gas compressor, the exhaust pressure of the helium compressor, and the outlet pressure of the cryogenic helium expander were set to 0.2 MPa, 1 MPa, and 0.1 MPa, respectively.

[0046] In this embodiment, the power of the 45MPa cryogenic liquid hydrogen pump for 35MPa high-pressure gas hydrogen filling is 19.29kW, and the 35MPa filling cooling system adopts a vapor compression refrigeration system with an average COP=3, with a power of 18.84kW; the power of the 90MPa cryogenic liquid hydrogen pump for 70MPa high-pressure gas hydrogen filling is 39.72kW. In this embodiment, the required circulating gas and helium mass flow rates are 3246 kg / h and 2113 kg / h, respectively. The ratio of the working fluid to the BOG mass flow rate of the ejector 18 is selected to be 7.5, the BOG processing flow rate is 40 kg / h, and the ejector outlet pressure is 0.74MPa. The main energy-consuming equipment of the hydrogen liquefaction system is the circulating gas compressor and the helium compressor. The sum of the power of the two is the energy consumption of the hydrogen liquefaction system. The unit mass hydrogen liquefaction energy consumption ratio is the ratio of the hydrogen liquefaction system energy consumption to the hydrogen liquefaction mass flow rate. In this embodiment, the power of the circulating gas compressor is 69.24 kW, the power of the helium compressor unit is 1125 kW, and the calculated specific energy consumption of hydrogen liquefaction is 5.972 kWh / kg.
