Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage, and in particular relates to a magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage system based on solar heating and a control method. Background Art

[0002] The global warming problem caused by greenhouse gas emissions due to the large-scale development of fossil fuels has gradually become a focus of attention. It is becoming increasingly important to find an economical and reliable clean energy to replace fossil fuels in daily life and industrial production. Hydrogen is considered to be a secondary energy source with great development potential due to its high energy density, environmental friendliness and renewability, and the storage and transportation of hydrogen is a key link in the development of the hydrogen energy economy.

[0003] Magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials have attracted widespread attention due to their high hydrogen storage capacity, low price and good reversibility. Compared with the current more mature high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage method, the hydrogen storage pressure of magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage materials is less than 3 MPa, which greatly reduces the risk of leakage caused by hydrogen storage pressure. After absorbing hydrogen, the material is transformed into metal hydride, which can be stored at room temperature and pressure, and has broad application prospects in long-term large-scale hydrogen energy storage. However, the slow hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics and high hydrogen absorption and desorption temperature of pure magnesium restrict its development. Current scientific research has increased the hydrogen storage rate of magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials to more than 80% hydrogen absorption in less than five minutes through alloying, nano-sizing, nano-catalysis, nano-confinement and other methods; the hydrogen absorption and desorption temperature is less than 200℃; the hydrogen absorption and desorption amount reaches more than 5wt.%.

[0004] At present, my country's hydrogen energy industry equipment is still in its initial development stage, and the hydrogen energy industry equipment manufacturing segment is not mature. There is an urgent need for technological and equipment breakthroughs in the direction of hydrogen storage and use, which is also the main barrier to the development of the hydrogen energy economy. Yu Xuebin et al. (CN115219383A) designed a test device and method for a solid-state reversible hydrogen storage system based on photothermal drive, using a xenon lamp to irradiate the hydrogen storage material in the reactor to heat the hydrogen storage material to the reaction temperature for laboratory sample testing. Wu Xuehong et al. (CN220540877 U) designed a solar magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage / release system, which uses the waste heat of high-temperature hydrogen to enable magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage materials to reach hydrogen storage conditions.

[0005] In summary, magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage materials have good prospects for industrial utilization in the direction of hydrogen energy storage, but their high hydrogen absorption and desorption temperatures limit further development. The use of external heat sources for heating will result in a large amount of energy consumption. Currently, in the public patent literature, there are few designs for heating the overall hydrogen storage element using natural resources, and most of them are electrically heated to reach the hydrogen absorption and desorption temperature. Therefore, the development of a device that drives its hydrogen absorption and desorption with natural resources has important practical significance for its industrial development and reducing energy consumption.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0019] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The present invention proposes a magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage system based on solar heating, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it mainly includes a gas control module 1, a hydrogen storage module 2, a middle partition 3, an insulating glass cover 4, a bottom partition 5, a bracket 6, a vacuum pump 7, a top partition 8, and an electric control module 9.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to prevent collision between the 10 parallel purple gold tubes 205, the top of the purple gold tube 205 is isolated by a top partition 8, two middle partitions 3 are installed in the middle, and a bottom partition 5 is installed at the bottom. The partitions are all installed on the bracket 6. The gas control module 1 is connected to the hydrogen storage single tube 202 in the hydrogen storage module 2.

[0024] The present invention utilizes a purple gold tube to cover a hydrogen storage bottle, with air in the middle and sealed with a heat-insulating end cover. The temperature of the purple gold tube can reach above 280°C when exposed to air.

[0025] Double-layer vacuum tubes such as three-high tubes, blue crystal tubes, and three-dimensional focusing tubes can all replace purple gold tubes and can play a role in solar heating.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, a heat-insulating glass cover 4 is installed outside the partition, which is beneficial to the temperature maintenance and rapid heating of the system, and the electric control cabinet 901 is installed on the bracket 6.

[0027] like Figure 4 The threaded-ferrule joint 101 shown is connected to the single hydrogen storage bottle 202 in the hydrogen storage module 2 by threads, and the other end of the threaded-ferrule joint 101 is connected to the quick-connect joint solenoid valve 102 through a seamless steel pipe. The quick-connect joint solenoid valve 102 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the single hydrogen storage tube 202. When installation is required, the quick-connect joint solenoid valve 102 is in a closed state. The quick-connect joint solenoid valve 102 is connected to the seamless steel pipe and the three-way I 103 and connected to the gas control module 1. When hydrogen is charged and discharged, the quick-connect joint solenoid valve 102 is opened, and hydrogen can directly enter and exit the single hydrogen storage tube 202. When the single hydrogen storage tube 202 is filled with hydrogen, the quick-connect joint solenoid valve 102 is closed and can be quickly disassembled.

[0028] Tee I 103 is connected in parallel with other hydrogen storage units through seamless steel pipes and connected to the electromagnetic main valve 104. The electromagnetic main valve 104 is connected to Tee II 105. The other two ends of Tee II 105 are respectively connected to a one-way valve 106 and an electromagnetic pressure valve 107. The one-way valve 106 is connected to the vacuum pump 7 to prevent the gas backflow of the vacuum pump 7 and avoid the risk of oxygen and hydrogen doping. The electromagnetic pressure valve 107 is switched under the control of the electric control cabinet 901 and controls the intake pressure to be stable at 2~5 MPa.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the hydrogen storage tube 202 is filled with a magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage material 204, which occupies 80% of the volume of the hydrogen storage tube 202, thereby avoiding the risk of hydrogen leakage caused by excessive radial pressure on the hydrogen storage tube 202 due to volume expansion of the magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage material 204 after absorbing hydrogen.

[0030] A filter screen 203 is provided at the outlet of the hydrogen storage tube 202. The filter screen 203 is made of 110 ppi nickel foam material to prevent the material powder from being sucked away by the vacuum pump 7 during the dehydrogenation process, or the powder from leaking during the equipment transportation process.

[0031] The outer part of the hydrogen storage tube 202 is covered with a purple gold tube 205. The purple gold tube 205 absorbs solar energy, and the temperature inside the tube can reach above 200°C, which heats the magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage material 204 to reach the reaction temperature.

[0032] The sealing end cap 201 is closely matched with the inner wall of the purple gold tube 205, and its material is thermal insulation ceramics or asbestos and other thermal insulation materials to maintain the internal temperature of the purple gold tube 205. The sealing end cap 201 is punched with a through hole with a diameter of 1 mm, and a tube temperature thermocouple 902 is installed to monitor the temperature inside the purple gold tube 205.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the electric control cabinet 901 is respectively connected to the in-tube temperature thermocouple 902, the hydrogen storage module thermocouple 903, the hydrogen storage module hydrogen sensor 904, the gas control module thermocouple 905, the gas control module hydrogen sensor 906, the electromagnetic pressure valve 107, and the vacuum pump 7.

[0034] The tube temperature thermocouple 902 is installed in the through hole of the sealing end cover 201 to monitor the real-time temperature in the purple gold tube 205. When the maximum temperature exceeds 400°C, the tube temperature thermocouple 902 alarms and the electric control cabinet 901 controls the system to be emptied.

[0035] The hydrogen storage module thermocouple 903 is installed on the top partition 8 near the hydrogen storage module 2 to monitor the temperature of the hydrogen storage module 2. When the maximum temperature exceeds 400°C, the hydrogen storage module thermocouple 903 alarms and the electric control cabinet 901 controls the system to be emptied.

[0036] The hydrogen sensor 904 of the hydrogen storage module is installed on the side of the top partition 8 close to the hydrogen storage module 2 to monitor the hydrogen content of the hydrogen storage module 2. When the hydrogen content exceeds 0 PPM, the hydrogen sensor 904 of the hydrogen storage module alarms and the electric control cabinet 901 controls the system to be emptied.

[0037] The gas control module thermocouple 905 is installed on the top partition 8 near the gas control module 1 to monitor the temperature of the gas control module 1. When the maximum temperature exceeds 400°C, the gas control module thermocouple 905 alarms and the electric control cabinet 901 controls the system to be emptied; The gas control module hydrogen sensor 906 is installed on the top partition 8 near the gas control module 1 to monitor the hydrogen content of the gas control module 1. When the hydrogen content exceeds 0 PPM, the gas control module hydrogen sensor 906 alarms and the electric control cabinet 901 controls the system to be emptied.

[0038] The electromagnetic pressure valve 107 controls the intake pressure to be stable at 2~5 MPa, and the intake pressure and switch are both set by the electric control cabinet 901.

[0039] The vacuum pump 7 is used to evacuate the gas in the system, or to extract hydrogen from the magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage material 204 during hydrogen release.

[0040] Figure 7 This is a flow chart of a control method for the magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage system based on solar heating.
