Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen storage containers, and in particular to a metal hydride hydrogen storage container which is easy to disassemble and assemble and can effectively perform heat exchange. Background Art

[0002] With the expansion of the global population and the rapid development of the economy, the energy crisis is becoming increasingly serious. The energy industry is an important benchmark for measuring a country's economic strength and plays a very important role in the lives of its people. At present, my country's energy distribution and supply are unbalanced, the energy structure and layout are unreasonable, the overall energy utilization rate is low, and the consumption of primary energy such as coal and fossils is the main source. The large-scale combustion of these energy sources causes serious environmental pollution. With the continuous advancement of economic development and industrialization, the consumption of fossil energy has maintained a sustained growth trend, and the resulting environmental pollution and energy shortages have become more and more the focus of international attention. Hydrogen energy, as the most promising secondary energy in this century, has the advantages of a wide range of sources, clean and environmentally friendly, and renewable, and its development and utilization have attracted much attention.

[0003] The storage methods of hydrogen energy mainly include low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage, high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage, solid-state hydrogen storage and organic liquid hydrogen storage. Solid-state hydrogen storage is divided into metal hydride hydrogen storage and porous material hydrogen storage. Among them, low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage has very high requirements on the thermal insulation performance of the storage equipment, resulting in large additional energy consumption and high cost, which is not suitable for large-scale application; high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage has safety hazards such as explosion and leakage; organic liquid hydrogen storage is costly, and the catalyst is easily poisoned, and the hydrogen absorption and desorption rate is low; the porous material hydrogen storage method has low and unstable hydrogen storage density and is greatly affected by material properties. Metal hydride hydrogen storage does not require high-pressure containers, is easy to operate, and greatly improves the safety, reliability and maintenance convenience of hydrogen energy utilization. It is the most promising hydrogen storage method.

[0004] Metal hydride hydrogen storage containers are containers specially made for storing hydrogen, which are made by utilizing the property of hydrogen storage alloys to reversibly absorb / release hydrogen under certain temperature and pressure conditions. They generally consist of several parts: hydrogen storage alloys, carrying containers, heat transfer mechanisms and auxiliary equipment. They are currently widely used in many fields such as fuel cells and hydrogen-powered vehicles. The hydrogen storage alloy undergoes lattice expansion and contraction during the process of hydrogen absorption / desorption, which generates great stress inside the container, causing the container to deform, seriously affecting the service life of the hydrogen storage container. Secondly, hydrogen storage alloys have poor long-term cycle stability, and the alloys are frequently replaced during use. At the same time, hydrogen storage alloys have significant thermal effects during the process of hydrogen absorption / desorption, releasing heat when absorbing hydrogen and absorbing heat when releasing hydrogen. In addition, the thermal conductivity of hydrogen storage alloy powder is poor, and the thermal conductivity is generally 0.2-2W / (m·K). Therefore, when designing metal hydride hydrogen storage devices, the problem of effective heat transfer with the outside world should be considered.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is very necessary to study and design a new type of metal hydride hydrogen storage container that is easy to disassemble and assemble and has effective heat exchange, so as to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

A metal hydride hydrogen storage container is provided which is easy to disassemble and assemble and has effective heat exchange.

[0007] The technical means adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0009] Furthermore, the circulating water circuit includes: an axial water channel, a water outlet, an annular water channel and a water inlet; 4 pairs of axial water channels are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the sleeve, with a height 10 mm lower than the hydrogen storage alloy tank and a minimum inner diameter equal to that of the hydrogen storage alloy tank; an annular water channel is respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the sleeve, which is 10 mm high and has an inner diameter 20 mm larger than the tank body; the axial water channel is connected to the annular water channel, and is connected to the water inlet and water outlet arranged at the lower and upper parts of the sleeve to form a circulating water circuit; the axial water channel and the annular water channel are made of stainless steel with a thickness of 2 mm; the water outlet and the water inlet are made of stainless steel pipes with a thickness of 3 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes: a boss arranged on the outside of the tank body and a slide arranged inside the sleeve; four stainless steel bosses with an outer diameter 20 mm larger than the tank body are evenly axially welded on the outer wall of the tank body; the slide is composed of 4 pairs of axial water channels evenly distributed inside the sleeve, a slide is formed between each pair of axial water channels, and the diameter of the slide is 2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the boss; the width is consistent with the boss.

[0011] Furthermore, the sleeve wall thickness is 4 mm; the inner diameter is 40 mm larger than the outer diameter of the hydrogen storage alloy tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the sleeve is 3-6 mm higher than the airway tube.

Reseal the container and use it again. The advantages of this container are: the hydrogen storage alloy powder can be replaced according to the amount of hydrogen absorbed / released by the container, so that the metal hydride hydrogen storage container maintains a certain amount of hydrogen absorbed / released; at the same time, the sleeve does not directly contact the hydrogen storage alloy powder and is not affected by the stress generated when the hydrogen storage alloy powder absorbs / releases hydrogen, thereby increasing the service life of the sleeve.
