DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0019] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or mutual communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0020] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present application provides a multifunctional hydrogen production circulation system, including a water replenishment loop, a deionization circulation loop and an electrolyzer circulation loop; The deionization circulation loop is a deionization circulation pump P-0102, a heat exchanger E-0101, a deionizer X-0101, an electric heater H-0101, an oxygen-water primary separation tank V-0102, and the deionization circulation pump P-0102 connected in a ring shape; The electrolytic cell circulation loop is an electrolytic cell circulation pump P-0103, a PEM electrolytic cell PK-0201, the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102, and an electrolytic cell circulation pump P-0103 connected in a ring shape; The access point of the water replenishment loop is located between the heat exchanger E-0101 and the deionization circulation pump P-0102; The output end of the electric heater H-0101 and the anode water outlet of the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201 merge into one path and are connected to the oxygen-water primary separation tank V-0102 through an anti-turbulence mixing pipeline.
[0021] Among them, the deionized water replenishment temperature of the deionized circulation loop is usually lower than the water temperature of the anode outlet of the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201. The water replenishment point is connected before the heat exchanger E-0101 to reduce the heat exchange of the heat exchanger E-0101, thereby reducing the volume and reducing the system energy consumption.
[0022] The deionized water source of the water replenishment loop may have an electrical conductivity that is inconsistent with expectations due to various uncertain factors or long-term storage or the material of the storage medium not meeting the requirements. Connecting the deionized water before the deionizer X-0101 of the deionization circulation loop can purify this part of the water immediately, thereby avoiding contamination of the system water quality and disturbance of the system conductivity after entering the system.
[0023] The deionization circulation pump P-0102 can increase the flow rate only when the conductivity is abnormal, and operate at a low load when it is normal, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the system. By adjusting the temperature in the oxygen-water primary separation tank V-0102 instead of the electrolytic cell temperature, the temperature change of the system is smoother, reducing the impact of temperature fluctuations on water quality control.
[0024] Among them, the deionized water circulation loop and the electrolytic cell circulation loop are completely independent, avoiding the mutual influence of temperature and water quality fluctuations, making the electrolytic cell operating environment more stable.
[0025] Integrating the heater and heat exchanger in the deionization circulation loop can prevent the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201 from entering at the initial stage of operation (unqualified conductivity and temperature). The dual circuits are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, which not only protects the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201 but also makes the control more stable. Since the flow rate of the deionization circuit is lower, the volume of the electric heater H-0101 and the heat exchanger E-0101 can be made smaller, which is convenient for system integration and makes the multifunctional hydrogen production circulation system more concise and flexible.
[0026] By connecting to the oxygen-water primary separation tank V-0102 through an anti-disturbance mixing pipeline, it can effectively mix and avoid turbulence caused by the different water temperatures of the deionization circulation loop and the electrolytic cell circulation loop, thereby improving the uniformity of the return water temperature.
[0027] Furthermore, the water replenishment circuit includes a pure water tank V-0101 and a water replenishment pump P-0101, the pure water tank V-0101 is provided with a deionized water input pipeline, and the pure water tank V-0101 is connected between the heat exchanger E-0101 and the deionization circulation pump P-0102 through the water replenishment pump P-0101.
[0028] By setting up the pure water tank V-0101, a short-term water supply guarantee is provided for the system. When the external water supply is interrupted, the system operation will not be affected, thus ensuring the stable operation of the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201.
[0029] Furthermore, the cathode water outlet of the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201 is connected to the pure water tank V-0101 through a hydrogen primary liquid separation tank.
[0030] The present application recovers the deionized high-temperature water dragged from the anode of the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201 due to concentration difference, pressure difference and electroosmosis, thereby saving the water consumption of the system; because the recovered water is the high-temperature water flowing out of the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201, the waste heat of the PEM electrolyzer PK-0201 is efficiently utilized, reducing the need for additional heating, thereby reducing the operating energy consumption of the system; by intelligently adjusting the working states of the electric heater H-0101 and the heat exchanger E-0101, the energy consumption at non-high load is reduced, and the energy consumption of the entire system is optimized.
[0031] See also Figure 2 The present application also provides a control method for a multifunctional hydrogen production cycle system, which comprises: When the multifunctional hydrogen production cycle system is in operation, the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is obtained to determine whether the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is greater than or equal to a first threshold value S1; When the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary separation tank V-0102 is less than the first threshold value S1, the electrolytic cell circulation loop is started; When the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value S1, a first delay time is set to determine whether the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is greater than or equal to the second threshold value S2, and the second threshold value S2 is greater than the first threshold value S1; When the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is greater than or equal to the second threshold value S2, the electrolytic cell circulation loop is closed, and it is continued to be determined whether the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value S1; When the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is less than the second threshold value S2, it is determined whether the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is greater than or equal to a third threshold value S3, and the third threshold value S3 is greater than the second threshold value S2; When the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary liquid separation tank V-0102 is greater than a third threshold value S3, the multifunctional hydrogen production circulation system is shut down after a second delay time is set; When the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary separation tank V-0102 is less than or equal to the third threshold value S3, the deionization circulation loop is set to run at the maximum flow rate, and it is continued to be determined whether the conductivity of the oxygen-water primary separation tank V-0102 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value S1.
[0032] In this embodiment, conductivity sensors are arranged at the circulating water inlet (AT-0101) and outlet (AT-0102). By collecting real-time conductivity data C1 and C2 and comparing them with the set values S0 (0.055 μS / cm), S1 (0.2 μS / cm), set value S2 (0.2~0.9 μS / cm), and set value S3 (0.9 μS / cm), water quality regulation and fault warning are achieved.

By collecting real-time water volume data V1, it participates in the calculation and judgment of the system. Flow sensors FT0101 / 0102 are arranged on the double circulation loop. By collecting real-time water flow Q1 and Q2, the power of the pump is changed to achieve the function of regulating the water volume.
