Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a hydrogen cooling device with automatic fluid distribution. Background Art

[0002] The application of hydrogen energy in the transportation field is becoming more and more extensive. Hydrogen refueling stations are key infrastructure in the field of hydrogen energy transportation. The 20MPa hydrogen of the hydrogen tube bundle vehicle is increased to 45MPa or 90MPa by the hydrogen compressor and then refilled into the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle through the hydrogen refueling machine. Since the Joule-Thomson coefficient of hydrogen is negative, it has a temperature rise effect after throttling, and the hydrogen refueling process has strict requirements on the temperature of the hydrogen entering the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, so a hydrogen cooler is needed to cool the hydrogen.

[0003] As an important hydrogenation equipment, hydrogen cooler has been widely used in hydrogen production, oil refining, chemical industry and other industries. Its main function is to exchange high-temperature hot hydrogen with cooling medium through heat exchanger, so that the temperature of hydrogen is reduced to the appropriate hydrogenation temperature for subsequent hydrogenation reaction. Considering the high-pressure working conditions, the hydrogen coolers commonly used in hydrogenation stations are microchannel heat exchangers, with hydrogen medium on the hot side and refrigerant on the cold side.

[0004] The fluid inlet pipe of a common hydrogen cooler is welded on the shell. When the core flow channel is distributed vertically, after the fluid enters the collection cavity through the pipe, the fluid dynamic pressure near the inlet is larger, and it flows into the heat exchange core faster; while the fluid far from the inlet is less, and the corresponding fluid flowing into the far end flow channel is less, and the flow rate shows a continuous increasing trend from the inlet to the far end, resulting in uneven flow distribution between the core layers, resulting in uneven heat exchange between the plate bundle layers. When the core flow channel is distributed horizontally, after the fluid enters the collection cavity through the pipe, the fluid static pressure at the lowest point is large, and the fluid static pressure at the highest point is small, and the fluid at the lowest point flows into the heat exchange core faster, and the flow rate shows a continuous decreasing trend from top to bottom, resulting in uneven flow distribution between the core layers, resulting in uneven heat exchange between the plate bundle layers.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a hydrogen cooling device with automatic fluid distribution, including a housing 6 and Figure 5 The heat exchange core 2 is provided in a shell and has a flow channel 1 therein.

The fluid automatic distribution structure and the heat exchange core are provided in the shell. The space between the fluid automatic distribution structure and the fluid inlet forms a collecting chamber 7. The space between the fluid automatic distribution structure and the heat exchange core forms a distribution chamber 8. The fluid automatic distribution structure includes a fixed diverter plate 4, a movable diverter plate 5 and a magnetic attraction component provided between the fixed diverter plate and the movable diverter plate, which are arranged perpendicular to the fluid flow direction. The fixed diverter plate and the movable diverter plate are both arranged horizontally. The fixed diverter plate is uniformly provided with a plurality of first diverter holes 41, and the movable diverter plate is uniformly provided with a plurality of second diverter holes 51. The movable diverter plate is controlled to move relative to the fixed diverter plate by the interaction between the fluid and the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction component to control the connection or closing of the first diverter hole and the second diverter hole. The first diverter hole and the second diverter hole have the same flow direction as the flow channel in the heat exchange core.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the fixed diverter plate 4 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the shell near the fluid inlet side by the welding part 45, the movable diverter plate is arranged on the side near the heat exchange core, the collecting cavity is formed between the fixed diverter plate and the fluid inlet, and the distribution cavity is formed between the movable diverter plate and the heat exchange core; the first diverter hole and the second diverter hole are staggered; in the initial state, the fixed diverter plate and the movable diverter plate are attached to each other through the magnetic attraction component, and the first diverter hole and the second diverter hole are in a closed state; as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the fluid is in the automatic distribution state, the fixed diverter plate and the movable diverter plate are separated, and the first diverter hole and the second diverter hole are connected.

[0039] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the fixed diverter plate is provided with at least two limiting holes 42, and the side of the movable diverter plate that is in contact with the fixed diverter plate is provided with a limiting member 52 that is adapted to the limiting hole; the magnetic attraction component includes a first magnetic attraction member 421 provided on the inner wall of the limiting hole and a second magnetic attraction member 521 provided on the limiting member, and the magnetic poles of the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member are opposite; Figure 2 As shown, in the initial state, the movable diverter plate fits with the fixed diverter plate after the limiting member passes through the limiting hole; a limiting baffle 53 is provided on the top of the portion of the limiting member passing through the limiting hole, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the limit baffle 53 is fixed on the limit member 52 by screws 531, the limit member is a conical surface member, and the limit hole is a conical hole; Figure 4 As shown, when the fluid is automatically distributed, the limiting member of the movable diverter plate is separated from the limiting hole, the limiting baffle abuts against the fixed diverter plate, the fixed diverter plate and the movable diverter plate are separated, and the first diverter hole is connected to the second diverter hole.

[0040] Since the magnetic poles of the movable splitter plate and the fixed splitter plate are opposite, in the initial state, the movable splitter plate and the fixed splitter plate are tightly attached to each other under the action of magnetic attraction ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 state).

[0041] When the hydrogen cooling device with automatic fluid distribution of the present embodiment is applied to heat exchange of gas medium, the gas medium flows into the collecting chamber 7 through the fluid inlet 3, the movable diverter plate and the fixed diverter plate are tightly fitted to achieve sealing, and the gas medium diffuses from the center of the collecting chamber 7 to the surroundings. When the gas medium fills the collecting chamber 7 and the gas pressure is greater than the difference between the magnetic attraction force and the gravity of the movable diverter plate, the movable diverter plate moves downward under the action of the force, and the gas medium passes through the first diverter hole 41 of the fixed diverter plate and the second diverter hole 51 of the movable diverter plate in turn, and is evenly distributed into the distribution chamber 8 and then into the heat exchange core 2 ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 state). The uneven distribution of gas in the collecting chamber 7 causes the pressure to decrease. When the gas pressure is less than the difference between the magnetic attraction and the gravity of the movable diverter plate, the movable diverter plate moves upward and the gas is sealed in the collecting chamber 7. When the gas in the collecting chamber 7 is evenly distributed and the pressure is again greater than the difference between the magnetic attraction and the gravity of the movable diverter plate, the movable diverter plate moves downward again under the action of the force to achieve uniform distribution of the gas medium.

[0042] When the hydrogen cooling device with automatic fluid distribution of this embodiment is applied to heat exchange of liquid medium, the liquid medium flows into the collecting chamber 7 through the fluid inlet 3, and the movable diverter plate and the fixed diverter plate are tightly fitted to achieve sealing. The liquid medium flows from the center to the surroundings in the collecting chamber 7. When the liquid medium fills the collecting chamber 7 and the liquid gravity pressure is greater than the difference between the magnetic attraction force and the gravity of the movable diverter plate, the movable diverter plate moves downward under the action of the force, and the liquid medium passes through the first diverter hole 41 of the fixed diverter plate and the second diverter hole 51 of the movable diverter plate successively, and then is evenly distributed into the distribution chamber 7 and then into the heat exchange core 2. The reduction of liquid in the collecting chamber 7 leads to a decrease in gravity. When the liquid gravity is less than the difference between the magnetic attraction force and the gravity of the movable diverter plate, the movable diverter plate moves upward, and the liquid is sealed in the collecting chamber 7. When the liquid gravity in the collecting chamber 7 is again greater than the difference between the magnetic attraction force and the gravity of the movable diverter plate, the movable diverter plate moves downward again under the action of the force to achieve uniform distribution of the liquid medium.

[0043] Calculation formula:

[0044] When the fluid is gas, the total area of ​​the movable manifold is A1, the flow channel area is A2, the magnetic attraction force F1 between the movable manifold and the fixed manifold when the magnetic attraction force is in close contact, the magnetic attraction force F2 between the movable manifold and the fixed manifold when the magnetic attraction force is at the farthest distance, the gas pressure P, the gas pressure difference ∆P between the two plates in the flow state, the mass m1 of the movable manifold, and the gravity acceleration g. When PA2-F1+m1g>0, the movable manifold moves downward. When ∆P(A1-A2)-F2+m1g<0, the movable manifold moves upward.

[0045] When the fluid is liquid, the total area of ​​the movable diverter plate is A1, the flow channel area is A2, the magnetic attraction force between the movable diverter plate and the fixed diverter plate is F1 when the magnetic attraction force is in close contact with each other, the magnetic attraction force between the movable diverter plate and the fixed diverter plate is F2 when the magnetic attraction force is at the farthest distance, the mass M1 when the collecting chamber 7 is full of liquid, the mass M2 of the liquid at the upper end of the movable plate in the flow state, the mass m1 of the movable diverter plate, and the gravity acceleration g. When (MgA2 / A1)-F1+m1g>0, the movable diverter plate moves downward. When M2g(A1-A2) / A1-F2+m1g<0, the movable diverter plate moves upward.

[0048] like Figure 8 and Fig.12 As shown, the fixed diverter plate 4 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the shell near the heat exchange core by the welding part 45, the movable diverter plate is arranged on the side near the fluid inlet, the collecting cavity is formed between the movable diverter plate and the fluid inlet, and the distribution cavity is formed between the fixed diverter plate and the heat exchange core; the fixed diverter plate and the movable diverter plate are in close contact; in the initial state, the first diverter hole and the second diverter hole are staggered; as shown in FIG. Fig. 9As shown, when the fluid is in the automatic distribution state, the movable diverter plate moves along the fitting surface relative to the fixed diverter plate, so that the first diverter holes and the second diverter holes are correspondingly distributed and connected.

[0049] The magnetic attraction component includes a first magnetic attraction component with opposite magnetic poles and a second magnetic attraction component with the same magnetic poles, the first magnetic attraction component is arranged at one end of the movable diverter plate and the fixed diverter plate, and the second magnetic attraction component is arranged at the other end of the movable diverter plate and the fixed diverter plate; in the initial state, the movable diverter plate and the fixed diverter plate are attracted to each other at one end close to the first magnetic attraction component under the action of attraction, and the movable diverter plate and the fixed diverter plate are separated at one end close to the second magnetic attraction component under the action of repulsion; in the automatic fluid distribution state, under the interaction of the fluid, the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component, the movable diverter plate moves relative to the fixed diverter plate along the fitting surface, so that the end close to the first magnetic attraction component is separated and the end close to the second magnetic attraction component is fitted, so that the first diversion hole and the second diversion hole are relatively distributed.

[0051] Since the third magnetic attraction member 431 of the movable splitter plate has opposite magnetic poles to the fourth magnetic attraction member 541 of the fixed splitter plate, the sixth magnetic attraction member 551 of the movable splitter plate has the same magnetic pole as the fifth magnetic attraction member 441 of the fixed splitter plate. In the initial state, the top of the movable splitter plate is tightly attached to the fixed splitter plate under the action of magnetic attraction, and the bottom of the movable splitter plate is separated from the fixed splitter plate under the action of magnetic repulsion ( Figure 8state), and the two plate flow channels are misaligned.

When the liquid medium fills the collecting chamber 7, and the pressure of the liquid on the movable diverter plate is greater than the difference between the sum of the magnetic attraction and the buoyancy of the movable diverter plate and the gravity of the movable diverter plate, the movable diverter plate moves downward under the action of the force, and the first diverter hole 41 and the second diverter hole 51 are connected ( Fig. 9 The liquid medium passes through the second diverter hole 51 of the movable diverter plate and the first diverter hole 41 of the fixed diverter plate, and then is evenly distributed into the distribution chamber 8 and then into the heat exchange core 2.
