Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of industrial hydrogen compression and heat energy recovery and utilization, and more specifically, relates to a device and method for efficiently recovering waste heat from hydrogen compression. Background Art
[0002] Faced with the gradual depletion of traditional fossil fuels and the deteriorating global environment, countries around the world are actively searching for new clean energy sources. Hydrogen energy is gaining increasing attention worldwide due to its abundant reserves, environmentally friendly properties, and economic viability. To promote the development of hydrogen energy, improving hydrogen infrastructure is essential. Hydrogen compressors are a key component of hydrogen storage.
[0003] During the process of producing compressed hydrogen, hydrogen compressors consume a significant amount of electricity. In typical hydrogen compressors, the energy used to increase the potential energy of hydrogen accounts for approximately 45% of total power consumption. The remainder is converted to heat and dissipated, resulting in low energy efficiency. A small amount of heat is dissipated through the hydrogen compressor itself, while the majority of the heat is discharged into the air through air or water cooling, resulting in energy waste. Recovering and reusing the heat energy from the hydrogen compression process is a key means of improving the energy efficiency of hydrogen compressors. Therefore, recovering waste heat from hydrogen compressors is highly valuable; theoretically, 94% of the heat lost by hydrogen compressors can be recovered. For example, the exhaust temperature of a hydrogen compressor is typically around 160°C. Heat exchangers are typically used to recover this waste heat, transferring heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid, achieving heat exchange.
[0004] Patent 201810579212.8 utilizes the heat from high-temperature waste gas to generate high-pressure hydrogen for power generation. This mixture of high-temperature, high-pressure hydrogen and a working fluid enters an expander, where it expands and generates work, driving a generator to generate electricity. The heat from the mixture exhausted by the expander is cooled and then directly discharged into the environment, resulting in heat waste. Patent 201810378714.4 utilizes the waste heat from high-temperature gas to generate high-pressure hydrogen to drive the expander, generate power, and absorb hydrogen. Using metal hydrides for hydrogen absorption and desorption can easily affect the rate of hydrogen desorption, compromising the efficiency of waste heat utilization.
[0005] The technology of heat exchangers is relatively mature now. For example, the heat transfer coefficient of eddy current heat film heat exchanger is 6000-8000W / m 2 ℃, up to 10000W / m 2℃, heat-resistant temperature up to 400℃, can withstand very high pressure, and has a fast heat exchange rate, making it fully applicable to the waste heat recovery of hot compressed hydrogen. Compared with traditional hydrogen compressors, the use of heat exchange devices for waste heat recovery can improve the energy utilization rate of hydrogen compression systems.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to design a device and method for efficiently recovering waste heat from hydrogen compression to effectively solve the problems of low hydrogen compression energy utilization efficiency and insufficient waste heat recovery. Summary of the Invention
