[0035] The decompression circuit is provided with a decompression valve and a vent along the gas flow direction. The decompression valve can reduce the pressure of high-pressure circulating hydrogen to meet the low-pressure requirement of the test hydrogen compressor 3. When the hydrogen pressure exceeds the safety value, the vent can be used for venting. The decompression valve and the vent improve the reliability and safety of the test device.

[0036] The three gas inlets in the valve group two 5 can be connected to the same gas outlet one through a loop, and the gas outlet one is connected to a multi-bottle loop in the hydrogen storage bottle group 6. Among the three gas inlets, the gas inlet one is connected to the gas outlet one, and the gas inlet two and the gas inlet three are connected to the gas outlet two and the gas outlet three through corresponding branch gas paths, respectively, and the gas outlet two and the gas outlet three are connected to two corresponding single-bottle loops in the hydrogen storage bottle group 6.

The application also provides a low-pressure compressor hydrogen test method, which comprises:

[0039] I. When the supply pressure is close to the required pressure for testing, the hydrogen gas flows out of the bleeder column 2, then through the direct supply circuit of valve group 1 4, valve group 2 5, and into the hydrogen storage bottle group 6, where it is stored. The hydrogen storage bottle group 6 stably supplies hydrogen gas to the outside. The hydrogen gas passes through valve group 3 7 and enters the pressure reduction circuit of valve group 1 4, where it is reduced in pressure to control the hydrogen gas pressure. The pressure reduction circuit stably supplies low-pressure hydrogen gas to the test compressor 9 through the hydrogen gas outlet corresponding to the test compressor 9. The outlet of the test compressor 9 sends the tested hydrogen gas back to the hydrogen storage bottle group 6 through valve group 2 5 for storage, and also realizes the circulation of hydrogen gas. In this case, the long tube trailer 1 directly supplies hydrogen gas to the 20 MPa compressor for testing. At this time, the supply pressure of the bleeder column 2 is close to the normal working pressure of the 20 MPa compressor, so the hydrogen gas is directly supplied, and the pressure is stabilized by the hydrogen storage bottle group 6. The pressure of the gas source can meet the demand for testing gas pressure, and the pressure is relatively stable, which is suitable for testing the normal working state of the 20 MPa compressor.

[0040] II. When the supply pressure is lower than the required pressure for testing, the hydrogen gas flows out of the bleeder column 2, then through the direct supply circuit of valve group 1 4, valve group 2 5, and into the hydrogen storage bottle group 6, where it is stored. The hydrogen storage bottle group 6 stably supplies hydrogen gas to the outside. The hydrogen gas passes through valve group 3 7 and enters the pressure reduction circuit of valve group 1 4, where it is reduced in pressure to control the hydrogen gas pressure. The pressure reduction circuit stably supplies low-pressure hydrogen gas to the test compressor 9 through the hydrogen gas outlet corresponding to the test compressor 9. The outlet of the test compressor 9 sends the tested hydrogen gas back to the hydrogen storage bottle group 6 through valve group 2 5 for storage, and also realizes the circulation of hydrogen gas. In this case, the long tube trailer 1 directly supplies hydrogen gas to the 20 MPa compressor for testing. At this time, the supply pressure of the bleeder column 2 is close to the normal working pressure of the 20 MPa compressor, so the hydrogen gas is directly supplied, and the pressure is stabilized by the hydrogen storage bottle group 6. The pressure of the gas source can meet the demand for testing gas pressure, and the pressure is relatively stable, which is suitable for testing the normal working state of the 20 MPa compressor.

[0041] III. When the amount of hydrogen gas in the test system meets the testing demand, the pipe 1 1 and the pipe 2 12 are closed, and the test compressor 9 on the low-pressure test station 8 provides the hydrogen gas circulation power. The hydrogen gas is discharged from the test compressor 9, enters valve group 2 5 through pipe 9 19 and pipe 10 20, then enters the hydrogen storage bottle group 6 through pipe 4 14, and the hydrogen storage bottle group 6 sends the hydrogen gas into valve group 3 7 through pipe 5 15, then into valve group 1 4 through pipe 6, and finally into the inlet of the test compressor 9 through pipe 7 17 and pipe 8 18, realizing the circulation of hydrogen gas and completing the hydrogen gas test of the hydrogen compressor 3. At this time, the hydrogen gas stored in the hydrogen storage bottle group 6 in the system can be used for continuous testing.

[0042] Four, when the hydrogen pressure is too large, can not meet the hydrogen pressure machine 3 into the air pressure is lower than the exhaust pressure requirements, hydrogen from hydrogen bottle group 6 output, through the valve group three 7 and pipeline six into the valve group one 4 pressure reducing circuit, in the pressure reducing circuit through the pressure reducing valve on the inside, the air pressure is reduced to the required pressure value, respectively through the pipeline seven 17, pipeline eight 18 into the air inlet of the compressor 9 to be measured, realize the circulation of hydrogen, complete the hydrogen pressure machine 3 hydrogen test.

[0043] Five, when the above-mentioned hydrogen pressure is too large, when the pressure reducing valve is still unable to reduce the hydrogen pressure to the required pressure value, hydrogen is discharged through the vent in the pressure reducing circuit, to realize the protection of the compressor to be measured 9 in the low pressure compressor test station.

[0044] Six, in the initial use of the low pressure compressor hydrogen test center, the residual impurity gas in the internal pipeline instrument needs to be purged and replaced, which is realized through the replacement pipeline 10 on the air release column 2.

[0045] The application is described above in conjunction with the drawings, and it is obvious that the specific implementation of the application is not limited by the above method. Any non-essential improvement or direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other occasions is within the protection scope of the application.
