[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a hydrogen storage and supply device 200, including a hydrogen liquid tank 1, a pump 3, a dehydrogenation reactor 4, and a gas-liquid separator 5 connected in sequence. The hydrogen liquid tank 1 is used to store hydrides generated by the reversible reaction and hydrogenation reaction of liquid organic matter and hydrogen, so as to realize hydrogen storage. The pump 3 is used to transport the hydrides in the hydrogen liquid tank 1 to the dehydrogenation reactor 4. The dehydrogenation reactor 4 is used to dehydrogenate the hydrides to realize hydrogen release. The gas-liquid separator 5 is used to receive the reaction products of the dehydrogenation reactor 4 to realize the separation of hydrogen from the released liquid organic matter.

[0033] In one embodiment, a control valve 2 is also connected between the hydrogen tank 1 and the pump 3. The control valve 2 is used to control the outflow of hydride from the hydrogen tank 1.

[0034] In one embodiment, the hydrogen storage and supply device 200 further includes a flow meter 7 connected to the gas discharge port of the gas-liquid separator 5, the flow meter 7 being used to measure the flow rate of hydrogen gas flowing through it.

[0035] In one embodiment, the hydrogen storage and supply device 200 further includes a controller 18, and the flow meter 7 and the dehydrogenation reactor 4 are all communicatively connected to the controller 18. The controller 18 can control the temperature of the dehydrogenation reactor 4 through the flow detection signal of the flow meter 7, thereby controlling the hydrogen release rate.

[0036] In one embodiment, the dehydrogenation reactor 4 is a standard product based on heating dehydrogenation, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. The dehydrogenation reactor 4 has a feed pipe 41 at its inlet and a discharge pipe 43 at its outlet. A pipe bundle is installed inside the dehydrogenation reactor 4, including multiple parallel conveying branch pipes 42. The inlet of the feed pipe 41 is connected to pump 3, the outlet of the feed pipe 41 is connected to the feed end of the pipe bundle (i.e., the inlet of all conveying branch pipes 42), the discharge end of the pipe bundle (i.e., the outlet of all conveying branch pipes 42) is connected to the inlet of the discharge pipe, and the outlet of the discharge pipe is connected to the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 5. The gas-liquid separator 5 is a standard product, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In one embodiment, the hydrogen storage and supply device 200 further includes a liquid storage tank 6 connected to the liquid discharge port of the gas-liquid separator 5, the liquid storage tank 6 being used to collect liquid organic matter after hydrogen release.

[0038] The working process and working principle of the above-mentioned hydrogen storage and supply device 200 are as follows:

[0039] Hydrogen tank 1 stores hydrogenated liquid organic matter, called hydride. Hydrogen tank 1 is connected to control valve 2, which controls the outflow of hydride. Control valve 2 is also connected to pump 3, which controls the flow rate of hydride. Pump 3 is connected to dehydrogenation reactor 4. After power is supplied, the internal temperature of dehydrogenation reactor 4 gradually rises to the optimal temperature for hydride release. The hydride enters through feed pipe 41 and is dispersed into various feed branch pipes 42. Feed branch pipes 42 are thinner tubes with a smaller cross-sectional area than feed pipe 41 and outlet pipe 43. The arrangement of the pipe bundle helps to increase the heating area of ​​the hydride within dehydrogenation reactor 4. The hydride undergoes a dehydrogenation reaction in dehydrogenation reactor 4, realizing hydrogen dehydrogenation. After dehydrogenation, the hydrogen released from each feed branch pipe 42 and the released liquid organic matter (carrier) all flow into the discharge pipe 43, and then are transported to the gas-liquid separator 5. In the gas-liquid separator 5, the hydrogen released from the dehydrogenation reaction is separated from the released liquid organic matter (carrier), and the liquid organic matter (carrier) flows into the storage tank 6. The hydrogen flows through the flow meter 7, which measures the flow rate of the hydrogen and sends an electrical signal (i.e., a flow detection signal) to the controller 18. The controller 18 controls the current flowing into the dehydrogenation reactor 4 through this electrical signal to control the temperature of the dehydrogenation reactor 4, thereby controlling the progress of the dehydrogenation reaction and regulating the hydrogen release rate, which is more flexible.

[0040] The aforementioned hydrogen storage and supply device 200 utilizes liquid organic hydrogen storage (LOHC) technology to achieve ambient temperature and pressure hydrogen storage. The principle involves reversible reactions (chemical bonding) between hydrogen and unsaturated liquid organic compounds such as olefins, alkynes, or aromatic hydrocarbons, followed by dehydrogenation (heating) to release the hydrogen. This LOHC technology offers a hydrogen storage density of 5%–10%, providing a large storage capacity. Furthermore, the liquid organic storage carrier allows for convenient and safe transport at ambient temperature and pressure, minimizing requirements on the hydrogen tank and virtually eliminating hydrogen leakage during transport. The dehydrogenation reaction requires low temperatures and consumes little energy, with an adjustable release rate, making it compatible with various hydrogen fuel cells.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] like Figure 3As shown, this embodiment proposes a hydrogen fuel cell combined heat and power system 100, including a power system 300, a heat supply system 400, and a hydrogen storage and supply device 200 as disclosed in Embodiment 1. The power system 300 includes a distribution box 17 and a hydrogen fuel cell 9. The hydrogen fuel cell 9 is electrically connected to the distribution box 17 and supplies current to the distribution box 17, which in turn supplies power to the hydrogen storage and supply device and the heat supply system. The hydrogen output terminal of the hydrogen storage and supply device 200, i.e., the flow meter 7, is connected to the hydrogen fuel cell 9 via a control valve 8, and the hydrogen storage and supply device 200 supplies hydrogen to the hydrogen fuel cell 9. A heat transfer path is established between the heat input terminal of the heat supply system 400 and the hydrogen fuel cell 9, and the hydrogen fuel cell 9 supplies the heat generated during power generation to the heat supply system 400.

[0043] In one embodiment, an inverter 10 is also connected between the hydrogen fuel cell 9 and the distribution box 17. The inverter 10 can convert the direct current generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9 into alternating current and transmit the alternating current to the distribution box 17. The distribution box 17 is also connected to the mains power.

[0044] In one embodiment, the heat system 400 is preferably an air-source heat pump, which includes an evaporator 11, a compressor 12, a heat exchanger 13, a storage tank 14, a filter 15, and an expansion valve 16. The evaporator 11, compressor 12, heat exchanger 13, storage tank 14, filter 15, and expansion valve 16 are connected in sequence, and the expansion valve 16 is connected to the evaporator 11 to form a closed-loop working fluid circulation. The heat exchanger 13 is used to heat the cold water coming in from the user side and supply the heated hot water to the user side. The evaporator 11 is connected to the hydrogen fuel cell 9 through a heat recovery module, forming the aforementioned heat transfer path.

[0045] In one embodiment, the heat recovery module includes a cooling pipe, an air preheater 19, a liquid storage tank 20, and a pump 21. The cooling pipe is embedded inside the hydrogen fuel cell 9 (isolated from the internal structure of the hydrogen fuel cell 9) or attached to the surface of the hydrogen fuel cell 9. The cooling pipe can be coiled on the surface or inside the hydrogen fuel cell 9 to increase the heat exchange area. Figure 3As shown, one end of the cooling pipe connects to the other end via an air preheater 19, a liquid storage tank 20, and a second pump 21, forming a coolant circulation channel. This channel is filled with coolant (such as water or other refrigerant). The coolant circulates within the channel under the action of the second pump 21. After absorbing heat from the hydrogen fuel cell 9, the coolant flows to the air preheater 19. In the air preheater 19, the heat-absorbing coolant transfers heat to the air. The air preheater 19 is connected to the evaporator 11 and transfers heat to it, thus transferring the heat generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9 to the evaporator 11. The heat exchanger 13 simultaneously absorbs heat from the air and the heat transferred from the air preheater 19 (i.e., the heat generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9) to supply heat to the air source heat pump. In the air source heat pump, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the preheated air (this heat is the sum of air heat and heat generated by the fuel cell) in the evaporator 11 and then vaporizes, changing from a liquid state to a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous state. The refrigerant then circulates within the air source heat pump, continuously heating the chilled water on the user side. In the heat recovery module, the coolant transfers heat to the air preheater 19 and flows into the storage tank 20. Finally, pump 21 delivers the heat-exchanged coolant back to the cooling pipes, achieving coolant recycling.

[0046] The working process and working principle of the above-mentioned hydrogen fuel cell combined heat and power system 100 are as follows:

[0047] First, the hydrogen storage and supply device 200 operates. The hydrogen tank 1 stores hydrogenated liquid organic matter, called hydride. The hydrogen tank 1 is connected to control valve 2, which controls the outflow of hydride. Control valve 2 is also connected to pump 3, which controls the flow rate of the hydride. Pump 3 is connected to the dehydrogenation reactor 4. After power is turned on, the internal temperature of the dehydrogenation reactor 4 gradually rises to the optimal temperature for hydride release. The hydride enters through the feed pipe 41 and disperses into various conveying branch pipes 42. The conveying branch pipes 42 are thinner tubes with a smaller cross-sectional area than the feed pipe 41 and the discharge pipe 43. The arrangement of the pipe bundle helps to increase the heating area of ​​the hydride within the dehydrogenation reactor 4. The hydride undergoes dehydrogenation... Hydrogen reactor 4 undergoes a dehydrogenation reaction to release hydrogen. After dehydrogenation, the hydrogen released from each feed branch pipe 42 and the released liquid organic matter (carrier) all flow into the discharge pipe 43, which then transports the hydrogen to the gas-liquid separator 5. In the gas-liquid separator 5, the hydrogen released from the dehydrogenation reaction is separated from the released liquid organic matter (carrier), and the liquid organic matter (carrier) flows into the storage tank 6. Hydrogen flows through the flow meter 7, which measures the flow rate of the hydrogen and sends an electrical signal (i.e., a flow detection signal) to the controller 18. The controller 18 uses this electrical signal to control the current flowing into the dehydrogenation reactor 4, thereby controlling the temperature of the dehydrogenation reactor 4 and thus regulating the hydrogen release rate.

[0048] In the power system 300, control valve 8 controls the flow of hydrogen from the hydrogen storage and supply device 200 into the hydrogen fuel cell 9; the hydrogen fuel cell 9 is electrically connected to the inverter 10, which converts the DC power generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9 into AC power and transmits the AC power to the distribution box 17.

[0049] In the heat system 400, the heat generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9 is transferred to the air preheater 19 through the coolant. In the air preheater 19, the coolant absorbs heat and transfers the heat to the air. The air preheater 19 is connected to the evaporator 11 and transfers the heat to the evaporator 11. After the coolant transfers the heat to the air preheater 19, it flows into the storage tank 20. Finally, the pump 21 delivers the heat-exchanged coolant back to the cooling pipe, realizing the recycling of the coolant. Evaporator 11 utilizes the absorbed heat from the air and the heat generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9 to vaporize the refrigerant (which may be R32) into a low-pressure gaseous working fluid. Evaporator 11 is connected to compressor 12, which compresses the low-pressure gaseous working fluid into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous working fluid. Compressor 12 is connected to heat exchanger 13, where the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous working fluid heats cold water from the user side into hot water. Heat exchanger 13 is connected to storage tank 14, which stores the working fluid that has become liquid after heat exchange in heat exchanger 13. Storage tank 14 is connected to filter 15, which filters out impurities from the working fluid in storage tank 14. Filter 15 is connected to expansion valve 16, where the working fluid, after impurities are removed, is throttled and cooled by expansion valve 16 before flowing back into evaporator 11, forming a cycle.

[0050] In the power system 300, the inputs of the distribution box 17 include mains power and electricity generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9, and the outputs include electricity input to the dehydrogenation reactor 4 and the compressor 12. At the start of operation of the entire hydrogen fuel cell cogeneration system 100, the mains power supply mainly supplies the entire system. After the hydrogen output from the hydrogen storage and supply device 200 stabilizes and the electricity generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9 becomes stable, the electricity generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 9 becomes the primary power source for the entire hydrogen fuel cell cogeneration system 100, achieving self-sufficiency in electricity production, which is beneficial for energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0051] The hydrogen fuel cell 9 can specifically be a PEM hydrogen fuel cell.

[0052] Traditional hydrogen fuel cells typically achieve a conversion efficiency of only 40% to 50% during power generation, with the remaining energy being lost as heat. The hydrogen fuel cell combined heat and power system 100 in this solution collects and utilizes this lost heat, improving the overall utilization rate of the hydrogen fuel cell and achieving an overall hydrogen utilization efficiency of over 80%, significantly enhancing energy efficiency.

[0053] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
