Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clean energy storage, in particular to a green hydrogen high-density storage container and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Large-scale development of renewable energy represented by solar energy and wind energy is used to gradually replace traditional fossil energy. However, the discontinuous power generated by the discontinuous renewable energy is difficult to match with the power grid, so that the renewable energy cannot be directly used by human society. Converting renewable energy into electricity (green electricity), and then driving water electrolysis to produce hydrogen (green hydrogen), and then converting green hydrogen into various hydrogen-containing liquid fuels (green ammonia, green methanol) which are easy to liquefy, easy to store and safe and controllable, and finally providing the required stable energy for human society by hydrogen-containing liquid fuels, is one of the feasible ways to break through the bottleneck of large-scale application of renewable energy worldwide.

[0003] Before green hydrogen is converted into hydrogen-containing liquid fuel, it needs to be stored in large quantities and concentrated to meet the raw material hydrogen supply demand of the liquid fuel synthesis process under the condition that there is no renewable energy.

[0004] At present, high-pressure hydrogen storage mainly includes two categories of all-metal gas cylinders and inner liner + fiber winding gas cylinders. The all-metal gas cylinder is easy to be corroded by hydrogen and fail, and it is difficult to carry out safety monitoring on the container. The volume hydrogen storage density is 14.28-40g / L, and it is commonly used for fixed storage of a small amount of hydrogen. The inner liner + fiber winding gas cylinder is wound with composite fibers, which greatly reduces the weight, but the manufacturing cost is high. In order to avoid the hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen corrosion damage of the storage container by high-pressure hydrogen, and to save the preparation cost of the hydrogen storage container, large-scale and concentrated storage of hydrogen is usually carried out under low pressure. However, in large-scale storage applications, low-pressure storage has many problems such as large number of containers, large occupied area and difficult management, which leads to high cost of hydrogen storage.

[0041] The transition layer 140 and the inner layer coating 150 are arranged on the inner wall of the container body 100 by cold spraying technology, i.e. the transition layer 140 and the inner layer coating 150 are arranged on the inner wall of the middle cylinder 120, the inner wall of the top plate 110, the inner wall of the bottom plate 130 and the welding seam.

[0044] The bottom hole 133 is arranged to facilitate spraying the whole cylinder wall after welding is completed, and if the coating is found to fall off during use, the coating can be resprayed in time.

[0045] The rotatable cover plate 300 is installed at the bottom hole 133, and the rotatable cover plate 300 is rotationally connected with the bottom plate 130. The rotatable cover plate 300 is rotated to shield or expose the air inlet valve 170 and the exhaust valve 180.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the green hydrogen high-density storage container 10 can also be provided with a base 200, and the base 200 is mainly used for supporting the whole container.

[0047] The base 200 comprises a support table 210 and a plurality of support frames 220; the longitudinal section of the support table 210 is in the shape of a "U", the rotatable cover plate 300 is installed on the support table 210, and the bottom of the container body 100 is provided with rubber which is in close contact with the support table 210.

[0048] A micro pulley can also be arranged on the lower side of the periphery of the base 200 and connected to an electric device, and part of the lower part of the container shell of the micro pulley is embedded in the base 200.

[0049] Referring to Figure 5 The present embodiment also discloses a manufacturing method of the green hydrogen high-density storage container 10, which comprises the following steps:

[0050] Step one: the middle cylinder 120, the top plate 110 and the bottom plate 130 are respectively processed, a shorter gas outlet 111 is reserved on the top plate 110, and a pressure relief valve 160 is installed at the gas outlet 111. The middle cylinder 120, the top plate 110 and the bottom plate 130 can all be made of iron-based alloy, and mainly austenitic stainless steel. The middle cylinder 120, the top plate 110 and the bottom plate 130 can all be manufactured by one-piece forming, and the blank is manufactured by a low-pressure casting method, then a stress relief annealing heat treatment process is carried out, and finally the blank is polished and polished.

[0051] Step two: the bottom hole 133, the gas inlet hole 131 and the gas outlet hole 132 are opened on the bottom plate 130 by laser drilling. Rubber sealing rings are arranged at the bottom hole 133, the gas inlet hole 131 and the gas outlet hole 132, respectively, and threads are tapped on the rubber sealing rings.

[0052] Step three: the top plate 110 and the bottom plate 130 are respectively welded to the two ends of the middle cylinder 120 to form the container body 100;

[0053] Step four: a cold gas power spray gun is inserted into the inside of the container body 100 from the bottom hole 133, and the transition layer 140 and the inner layer coating 150 are sprayed. First, the transition layer 140 is sprayed on the inner wall of the container body 100, and then the inner layer coating 150 is sprayed on the surface of the transition layer 140.

[0054] The spraying of the transition layer 140 and the inner layer coating 150 is performed by using the cold gas dynamic spraying technology. The principle of the cold gas dynamic spraying technology is as follows: first, the transition layer 140 coating powder entrapped in the high-temperature and high-pressure gas obtains high kinetic energy under the acceleration, and then the high-speed transition layer 140 coating powder impacts the inner wall of the container body 100 at a temperature lower than the melting point of the transition layer 140 coating powder, at which time the transition layer 140 coating powder is strongly plastically deformed at the inner wall of the container body 100 and forms the transition layer 140 with the inner wall of the container body 100 by mechanical interlocking; then, the inner layer coating 150 coating powder entrapped in the high-temperature and high-pressure gas obtains high kinetic energy under the acceleration, and then the high-speed coating powder targets the transition layer 140 for forging, and the transition layer 140 coating powder, the inner layer coating 150 coating powder and the inner wall of the container body 100 are combined into a high-strength composite material by mechanical interlocking, which can increase the bonding strength of the coating and also reduce the porosity of the coating.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the morphology and diameter of the transition layer 140 coating powder and the inner layer coating 150 coating powder are controlled when the cold gas dynamic spraying is performed, and spherical or polyhedral powder particles are used as much as possible. The diameter of the transition layer 140 coating powder and the inner layer coating 150 coating powder is limited to 1-100 μm. In this way, the powder particles can avoid insufficient acceleration due to too large diameter, and the powder particles can avoid adhering to the barrel of the cold spraying gun due to too small diameter, thereby ensuring the spraying effect.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present embodiment, the diameter of the transition layer 140 coating powder and the inner layer coating 150 coating powder can be 10-60 μm, which is better for the spraying effect.

[0057] The transition layer 140 is one or a combination of multiple materials selected from Ni, Cr, Ti, Fe, W, nickel-aluminum alloy and nickel-chromium alloy. The inner layer coating is one or a combination of multiple materials selected from Al, Cu, Al-Mg-Si series, Al-Cu and Al-Mg-Zn series. The small interstitial space of the aluminum face-centered cubic lattice and the dense oxide film are mainly used to form a high-strength composite material after the inner layer coating 150, the container body 100 and the transition layer 140 are combined.

[0058] The inner layer coating 150 and the transition layer 140 are prepared by a spray forming process, and the inner layer coating 150, the container body 100 and the transition layer 140 are combined into a high-strength composite material by a cold gas dynamic spraying method. The thickness of the inner layer coating 150 at the middle cylinder 120 is 10-2000 μm, the spraying gas is helium, nitrogen or a mixture of helium and nitrogen, the spraying pressure is 2-10 MPa, the spraying temperature is 100-2000 °C, the spraying distance is 10-50 mm, the relative speed of the spraying gun is 1 mm / s-10 m / s, the rotation speed of the container is 1-50 r / min, and the same parameters as the cylinder are used for the inner layer coating 150 at the top plate 110 and the bottom plate 130 as far as possible, and the welds are sprayed. Within this range, the sprayed coating is denser and more uniform, has high bonding strength with the transition layer, is not easy to fall off and has a long service life, while the economy of equipment manufacturing is also considered. However, the selection of the spraying method will not lead to the situations such as poor coating density and air tightness, shortened service life or more easily peeled coating.

[0059] The cold gas dynamic spraying gun rotates uniformly in the circumferential direction and moves uniformly in the axial direction at the middle cylinder 120. The cold gas dynamic spraying gun rotates uniformly in the circumferential direction and moves at a variable speed on the guide rail at the top plate 110 and the bottom plate 130, and the variable speed is related to the diameter of the spraying moment at the top plate 110 and the bottom plate 130. If the container is spherical, uniform spraying can be achieved by uniform axial movement and variable movement of the cold gas dynamic spraying gun on the guide rail.

[0060] After spraying is completed, a heat treatment process of stress relief annealing and natural aging is performed, mainly to reduce the local stress in the composite material and promote the formation of a dense aluminum oxide film.

[0061] Step five: install the air inlet valve 170 at the air inlet hole 131, install the air outlet valve 180 at the air outlet hole 132, and temperature instrument 400 and flow instrument 500 can be additionally provided at the positions of the air inlet valve 170 and the air outlet valve 180. Install the rotatable cover plate 300 at the bottom hole 133, rotate the rotatable cover plate 300 to block or expose the air inlet hole 131 and the air outlet hole 132; then the air tightness test can be performed by tightening all the valve switches.

[0062] The manufacturing method of the green hydrogen high-density storage container 10 disclosed in the embodiment solves the problem of large-scale hydrogen storage by arranging a hydrogen embrittlement resistant inner layer coating 150 inside, and an ultrathin coating is prepared on the inner wall of the container body 100 by means of cold gas dynamic spraying technology. This post-processing method of hydrogen embrittlement resistant coating greatly saves the preparation cost of the container body 100, and also realizes diversified production of the base shell, including integrated casting, etc., which can realize high-strength preparation of the base shell; and the container body 100 has the advantages of convenient installation, good sealing, compact structure, easy spraying and maintenance. The reserved bottom hole 133 is used for spraying the entire cylinder wall after welding is completed, and if coating peeling is found during use, it can also be re-sprayed in time.

[0063] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the embodiment of the application discloses a method for large-scale storage of green hydrogen, which connects a plurality of the above-mentioned green hydrogen high-density storage containers 10 together to store more hydrogen. In the embodiment, the green hydrogen high-density storage container 10 has mainly two implementation ways, one is a spherical tank and the other is a large length vertical pipe. A plurality of spherical tanks are integrated into a spherical tank group and arranged on a three-dimensional hydrogen storage frame 20 to form a three-dimensional spherical tank group high-pressure hydrogen storage unit. Similarly, the vertical pipes can also be integrated into a three-dimensional vertical pipe group high-pressure hydrogen storage unit.

[0064] In the application of synthetic ammonia, low-pressure hydrogen and nitrogen produced by renewable energy are compressed into high-pressure hydrogen and nitrogen (5-100 MPa), and then mixed with high-pressure nitrogen and hydrogen and introduced into the above-mentioned container for storage. A plurality of green hydrogen high-density storage containers 10 arranged on the hydrogen storage frame can store more and higher density hydrogen, and this green hydrogen high-density storage container 10 solves the problem of large-scale hydrogen storage by arranging a hydrogen embrittlement resistant inner layer coating 150 inside, which greatly saves the preparation cost of the container after arranging this hydrogen embrittlement resistant inner layer coating 150, and the equipment is easy to install, has good sealing, compact structure, easy to spray and maintain.

For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations.
