Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering thermophysics, and more particularly to a multi-mode whole-ship thermal management system for hydrogen-powered ships. Background Technology
[0002] Marine thermal management refers to the technology for effectively managing the generation, transfer, utilization, and control of various forms of heat on a ship. Its aim is to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, ensure normal equipment operation, and enhance the overall performance and safety of the vessel. Marine thermal management mainly includes cooling system design and waste heat recovery. The cooling system for fuel cell ships mainly includes coolant cooling systems, freshwater cooling systems, and seawater cooling systems. Through heat exchange between coolant, freshwater, and seawater, the heat generated by the ship's fuel cells, lithium batteries, motors, and electronic control systems is ultimately dissipated through seawater. Waste heat recovery systems can recover waste heat generated by batteries and other equipment during ship operation and use it to heat domestic hot water, significantly improving the overall energy utilization efficiency of the ship.
[0003] Marine heat pumps are primarily based on the reverse Carnot cycle principle. They transfer heat energy from a low-temperature heat source to a high-temperature heat source by consuming mechanical work or electrical energy, thereby achieving heating or cooling. Their operation involves releasing heat through the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant in the condenser and absorbing heat through evaporation in the evaporator. Marine heat pumps can provide a comfortable temperature environment for ship cabins, enabling switching between cooling and heating functions to meet temperature requirements in different seasons.
[0004] Current research on fuel cell thermal management, both domestically and internationally, primarily focuses on its application in new energy vehicles. However, compared to new energy vehicles, fuel cell ships require more equipment and generate significantly more heat. Simply applying the thermal management systems used in automobiles cannot meet the cooling needs of fuel cell ships and would also increase costs. Therefore, the cooling efficiency requirements for fuel cell ship thermal management systems are much higher. During operation, the stack of hundreds of individual cells on a fuel cell ship presents significant heat dissipation challenges, and inadequate cooling can severely impair fuel cell performance. Furthermore, the integration of marine propulsion system thermal management methods with heat pump technology is relatively rare. Summary of the Invention
