Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of energy comprehensive utilization, and particularly relates to a fuel cell and internal combustion engine hybrid power generation system based on ammonia catalytic cracking for hydrogen production. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ammonia is a hydrogen-rich carrier and the second largest synthetic industrial chemical in the world. Ammonia can not only be used as a hydrogen carrier for hydrogen production, but also has good safety, easy storage and processing, no harmful gas or greenhouse gas emissions, and good economic efficiency compared to other common fuels, and has great development potential. Catalytic reforming of ammonia to generate nitrogen and hydrogen, and then converting the hydrogen in the reformer into electricity in a fuel cell and an internal combustion engine is a high-power and high-efficiency power generation method.

[0003] Most of the current distributed energy systems and power generation systems in heavy equipment are fuel cells alone or fuel cells combined with other energy storage devices, which are bulky and complex in structure. For example, in the patent (patent numbers CN202220905518.X and CN202210697878.X) of a methanol hydrogen production fuel cell power generation system, methanol hydrogen production is used as fuel for fuel cells to convert chemical energy into electrical energy, which requires additional methanol hydrogen production devices. In the hydrogen production process, a large amount of heat is generated, and this heat is not utilized, resulting in energy consumption. This power generation method only uses one fuel cell to generate power, and the application of high-power fuel cells is limited, which makes the power generation capacity unable to fully meet the needs of distributed energy systems. In the patent (patent numbers CN201821591877.2 and CN201410407410.8) of a small distributed photovoltaic power generation system, solar and wind power generation components are used to convert solar and wind energy into electrical energy. However, this method relies heavily on natural energy and is limited by the region. In areas with little wind and sunlight, the investment cost is high and the power generation efficiency is low. In addition, the output current and voltage of wind energy are unstable, which can cause damage to the equipment at the load terminal. Moreover, this power generation method cannot be moved. In the patent (patent numbers CN201810254567.X and CN201821861827.1) of a small mobile natural gas distributed energy system, a gas turbine, a lithium bromide unit, and an electric power supply device are used to form a whole, which is strong in integrity and high in integration. However, it is bulky and complex in structure, and the overall maintenance cost is high, making it difficult to popularize in future small distributed and automobile power generation systems.

[0004] In order to meet the needs of miniaturization and intelligentization of future small distributed energy systems and future automobile power generation systems, and to realize efficient, safe and sustainable power supply, it is necessary to develop battery-power composite, multi-energy complementary, efficient and intelligent hybrid power generation systems. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells have the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, no need for noble metal catalyst, strong fuel adaptability, low noise and less pollutant emission, and are considered as one of the most promising power generation methods. However, the application of high-power fuel cells is less, and a suitable power needs to be selected to complement the power generation together, and an internal combustion engine is a good power selection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0044] In order to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand how the present application is specifically implemented, this part is an explanatory embodiment for explaining and describing the technical scheme of the claims.

[0045] As Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a fuel cell and internal combustion engine hybrid power generation system based on ammonia catalytic cracking for hydrogen production. Liquid ammonia stored in the liquid ammonia tank 1 enters the coil pipe 2 through the liquid ammonia pipe, and the heat in the air is used to gasify the liquid ammonia into ammonia gas without consuming energy. The ammonia gas is stored in the ammonia gas tank 3 through the ammonia gas pipeline, and can be temporarily stored in the ammonia gas tank. There is a valve 1 for controlling the flow of ammonia gas in the ammonia gas pipeline connected to the first heat exchanger. The valve 1 controls the opening and closing of the entire hybrid power generation system. The ammonia gas enters the three heat exchangers in turn through the ammonia gas pipeline to increase the sensible heat and latent heat of the ammonia gas. The first heat exchanger is connected to the cooling system of the internal combustion engine and the fuel cell, including the internal combustion engine cooling water circulation system and the fuel cell cooling water circulation system. Both circulation systems are connected to the water storage tank 11, and the first heat exchanger is used to heat the ammonia gas. The valves 5 and 6 control the flow of cooling water of the fuel cell and the internal combustion engine, respectively. The heated ammonia gas enters the second heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger in turn, and the heat exchange between the ammonia gas and the catalytic cracking high-temperature tail gas (the temperature of the catalytic cracking tail gas is about 480°C) is realized through the second heat exchanger. The heat exchange between the ammonia gas and the high-temperature tail gas of the internal combustion engine (the temperature of the tail gas of the internal combustion engine is about 500-600°C) is realized through the third heat exchanger, realizing the recycling of waste heat. The ammonia gas further enters the catalytic cracker 8 and is cracked under the action of the catalyst. The mixed gas after catalytic cracking is introduced into the second heat exchanger again, and then enters the mixed gas separator 9 through the mixed gas pipeline after being cooled. The mixed gas includes nitrogen and hydrogen. After being separated by the separator, the nitrogen is discharged into the atmosphere, and the hydrogen enters the purifier 10 to be purified, and then enters the hydrogen storage tank 14 through the hydrogen pipeline. The separated hydrogen is used as fuel for the internal combustion engine 12 and the fuel cell 16, and enters the internal combustion engine 12 and the fuel cell 16 through the internal combustion engine fuel supply pipe and the fuel cell fuel supply pipe. There is a second valve and a third valve on each of the two supply pipelines to control the flow of hydrogen.

The exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine 12 exchanges heat with the ammonia through a three-stage heat exchanger, and the further exhaust gas exchanges heat with the air through a fourth heat exchanger to preheat the air entering the fuel cell 16, and the exhaust gas is finally discharged into the air. The fourth valve controls the air flow entering the fuel cell 16, and the preheated air enters the cathode of the fuel cell 16 and reacts with the anode gas hydrogen of the fuel cell to generate heat and output direct current. The generated heat heats the ammonia through the fuel cell cooling circulating water system, and the output direct current is converted into direct current through the DC / DC electric coupler 20. The high-temperature hydrogen and air that are not completely reacted in the anode of the fuel cell enter the internal combustion engine to preheat the cylinder of the internal combustion engine, and the mechanical energy is output through the generator 15 to convert into alternating current, which is further converted into direct current through the AC / DC electric coupler 20, and finally the direct current is converted into alternating current for the user end 22 through the inverter 21.

[0047] Air is used as the cathode of the fuel cell and the fuel of the internal combustion engine. Part of the reactant air directly enters the internal combustion engine to burn with hydrogen and do work, and part of the reactant air exchanges heat with the fourth heat exchanger to make the temperature of the air entering the cathode of the fuel cell reach the requirement of the fuel cell. The ammonia catalytic cracking hydrogen fuel cell and internal combustion engine hybrid power generation system uses the waste heat of the internal combustion engine and the fuel cell to heat the ammonia, reducing the demand for cooling liquid of the internal combustion engine and the fuel cell and reducing consumption. At the same time, the heat of the catalytic reforming tail gas and the high-temperature tail gas of the internal combustion engine is used to heat the ammonia, realizing the full utilization of energy and providing the fuel required for the reaction of the fuel cell and the internal combustion engine. At the same time, the structure eliminates the external reformer, reducing the overall size of the system. Moreover, the anode tail gas of the fuel cell enters the internal combustion engine to burn and expand to do work, driving the generator to generate electricity and improving the fuel utilization rate. Among them, the valves 2, 3 and 4 used on the fuel supply pipeline are solenoid valves, which can accurately control the flow of fuel and reduce errors to a certain extent. At the same time, the inner surface of the ammonia cracker is coated with an ammonia catalytic cracking hydrogen catalyst, so that reactions can occur in the container to generate hydrogen and nitrogen by cracking ammonia. In this system, the efficient recovery and utilization of different grade waste heat are fully considered, including the heat of low-grade cooling water, the heat of mixed gas of medium and high grade, and the heat of high-temperature tail gas of the internal combustion engine.

[0048] As Figure 2As shown, the hydrogen fuel cell and internal combustion engine hybrid power generation system provided by the embodiment of the present application can change the heat exchanger in the waste heat recovery system into a multi-stream heat exchanger to recover the waste heat of the mixed gas and the high-temperature exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine.

[0049] As shown, Figure 3 As shown, the hydrogen fuel cell and internal combustion engine hybrid power generation system provided by the embodiment of the present application can recover the cold energy released by the gasification of the liquid nitrogen in the ammonia hydrogen production system.

[0050] The hydrogen fuel cell and internal combustion engine hybrid power generation system provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the internal combustion engine, which can ensure the normal operation of the cooling system of the internal combustion engine and the smooth progress of the ammonia catalytic cracking.

[0051] The hydrogen fuel cell and internal combustion engine hybrid power generation system provided by the embodiment of the present application is based on the ammonia catalytic cracking hydrogen production, and the working principle is to combine the fuel cell with the internal combustion engine to develop a fuel cell-internal combustion engine hybrid power generation system.
