Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of hydrogen supply for hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen engines using liquid hydrogen storage, and in particular to a hydrogen supply system based on liquid hydrogen storage and a flow regulation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Liquid hydrogen has a higher storage density and can meet the needs of long-distance driving in multiple scenarios, such as hydrogen heavy trucks, hydrogen ships, hydrogen drones, etc. Since liquid hydrogen is stored in a low-temperature liquid state, it needs to go through phase change, temperature adjustment, pressure adjustment and other steps before hydrogen can be used for fuel cells and engines. Therefore, the realization of various parameters is more complicated than other hydrogen storage methods. Among them, the control of hydrogen supply pressure and flow is one of the core technologies of liquid hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply system.

[0003] The flow rate and pressure of hydrogen supply are proportionally adjusted by regulating valves after being gasified by liquid hydrogen to a buffer tank for storage. However, the flow rate adjustment of the liquid hydrogen pump is limited by the response speed of the variable frequency motor, resulting in a slow response of the flow rate of liquid hydrogen pressurization and gasification, and the flow volume of the hydrogen regulating valve is small, which cannot be applied to the rapid response of the flow rate and pressure of hydrogen supply for large-span liquid hydrogen gasification. Therefore, how to make the hydrogen liquefaction speed respond faster and the hydrogen flow rate and pressure supply quickly, so as to realize the rapid adjustment of the engine power of aviation and large ships, is of great significance for the large-scale application of liquid hydrogen storage in aviation and large ships.

[0004] For example, the application document with patent number 202210393332.5 discloses a liquid hydrogen supply system for high-pressure fuel cells, including a thermal compression and boosting system and a heat circulation system for liquid hydrogen gasification. The heat circulation system recycles the waste heat generated by the fuel cell system and is connected to the first-level heat exchanger in the thermal compression and boosting system to provide heat for liquid hydrogen gasification; the thermal compression and boosting system is also connected to the liquid hydrogen supply system and the gaseous hydrogen supply system, wherein the liquid hydrogen flows into a deep-cold high-pressure hydrogen storage container through the liquid hydrogen supply system, and gaseous compressed hydrogen is obtained after heat exchange, and flows into the fuel cell system through the gaseous hydrogen supply system; the gaseous compressed hydrogen can flow back to the liquid hydrogen storage container to provide liquid hydrogen supply pressure.

[0005] The solenoid valve and pressure reducing valve used in the above scheme are only used to achieve steady-state pressure and flow supply of compressed gas at room temperature, and the configuration of deep-cold high-pressure storage containers increases the volume of system equipment. Within the flow regulation range required by large hydrogen fuel engines for aviation and ships, it is not feasible to achieve flow and pressure regulation of hydrogen supply by configuring large-capacity gas buffer tanks. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hydrogen supply system based on liquid hydrogen storage and a flow regulation method thereof, so that the hydrogen liquefaction speed responds faster and the hydrogen flow rate and pressure are supplied quickly, thereby realizing rapid regulation of engine power for aviation and large ships, etc., which is of great significance for the large-scale application of liquid hydrogen storage in aviation and large ships.

[0013] Furthermore, the liquid hydrogen storage tank is provided with a liquid inlet pipeline, and a third manual valve is provided at the liquid inlet end of the liquid inlet pipeline.

[0014] A flow regulation method for a hydrogen supply system based on liquid hydrogen storage comprises the following steps:

[0015] The liquid hydrogen pump starts to work, and the liquid hydrogen stored in the liquid hydrogen storage tank is introduced into the liquid hydrogen pipeline. The second control valve located on the reflux pipeline and the first control valve located on the liquid hydrogen pipeline are both kept at a certain opening. At this time, part of the liquid hydrogen flows back to the liquid hydrogen storage tank through the reflux pipeline, and the other part of the liquid hydrogen enters the vaporizer and the first flowmeter at the rear end of the liquid hydrogen pipeline;

[0016] The flow of liquid hydrogen introduced into the liquid hydrogen pipeline is controlled by the variable frequency motor of the liquid hydrogen pump. The displacement of the liquid hydrogen pump is adjusted by changing the speed of the variable frequency motor to achieve the regulation of the liquid hydrogen flow. On this basis, the flow of liquid hydrogen flowing through the reflux pipeline and the liquid hydrogen pipeline is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the second control valve and the first control valve, thereby achieving a rough regulation of the liquid hydrogen flow in the liquid hydrogen pipeline.

[0024] The rough flow control assembly includes a liquid hydrogen pump 52 arranged on the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5, a first control valve 53 and a vaporizer 54 are sequentially arranged on the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5 at the rear end of the liquid hydrogen pump 52, a reflux pipeline 8 is connected to the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5 between the liquid hydrogen pump 52 and the first control valve 53, and a second control valve 51 is arranged on the reflux pipeline 8; a hydrogen supply main pipeline is arranged at the rear end of the vaporizer 54, and a first flow meter 55 and a three-way connector for connecting the gaseous hydrogen branch pipeline 2 are arranged on the hydrogen supply main pipeline;

[0025] The flow precision regulation component includes a gaseous hydrogen branch pipeline 2, the inlet end of the gaseous hydrogen branch pipeline 2 is connected to the liquid hydrogen storage tank 1, and a third control valve 21, a low-temperature hydrogen booster pump 23 and a second flow meter 24 are sequentially arranged on the gaseous hydrogen branch pipeline 2, and the outlet end of the gaseous hydrogen branch pipeline 2 is connected to the hydrogen supply main pipeline. A venting pipeline 22 is arranged at the front end of the gaseous hydrogen branch pipeline 2, and a fourth control valve 22 is arranged on the venting pipeline 22.

[0026] The liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 is provided with a self-pressurizing pipeline 3, the inlet end and the outlet end of the self-pressurizing pipeline 3 are respectively connected to the liquid hydrogen storage tank 1, and a first manual valve 31, a second manual valve 34, a fifth control valve 32 and a self-pressurizer 33 are provided on the self-pressurizing pipeline 3.

[0028] The liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 is provided with a liquid inlet pipeline 6 , and a third manual valve 61 is provided at the liquid inlet end of the liquid inlet pipeline 6 .

[0029] A flow regulation method for a hydrogen supply system based on liquid hydrogen storage comprises the following steps:

[0030] 1) The liquid hydrogen pump 52 starts to work, and the liquid hydrogen stored in the liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 is introduced into the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5. The second control valve 51 located on the reflux pipeline and the first control valve 53 located on the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5 are both kept at a certain opening. At this time, part of the liquid hydrogen flows back to the liquid hydrogen storage tank 1 through the reflux pipeline, and the other part of the liquid hydrogen enters the vaporizer 54 at the rear end of the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5 and the first flowmeter 55 on the hydrogen supply main pipe;

[0031] 2) The flow rate of liquid hydrogen introduced into the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5 is controlled by the variable frequency motor of the liquid hydrogen pump 52. The displacement of the liquid hydrogen pump 52 is adjusted by changing the speed of the variable frequency motor to achieve the regulation of the liquid hydrogen flow rate. On this basis, the flow rate of liquid hydrogen flowing through the reflux pipeline and the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5 is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the second control valve 51 and the first control valve 53, thereby achieving a rough regulation of the liquid hydrogen flow rate of the liquid hydrogen pipeline 5.

The control system will feedback the control signal to the first control valve 53, the second control valve 51 and the third control valve 21 according to the real-time flow rate to realize automatic control of the flow rate.

[0034] Example

[0035] Taking aircraft engines as an example, they generally go through the process of ignition-slow-takeoff-flight-slow-to-stop. As shown in Table 1, during the entire engine start-up to stop stage, the required hydrogen flow rate adjustment is about 5%-100% of the maximum flow rate. The following is a detailed description of the control method based on the hydrogen flow requirements of each stage:

[0036]

[0037] Table 1

[0038] Working condition 1: The ignition stage requires a small flow rate of hydrogen supply. The liquid hydrogen pump 52 is started and the power of the liquid hydrogen pump variable frequency motor is adjusted to set the hydrogen flow rate required in the slow-running stage, and the opening of the control valve 51 is increased or fully opened, and the opening of the control valve 53 is reduced or fully closed, so that more liquid hydrogen flows back to the liquid hydrogen storage tank. At the same time, the control valve 21 is opened and the low-temperature hydrogen booster pump 23 is started. With the start of the hydrogen booster pump, the pressure in the storage tank will gradually decrease. At this time, the control system detects the pressure drop in the storage tank through the combined differential pressure gauge 41, thereby increasing the opening of the control valve 32 and increasing the speed of the self-pressurization gasification of the storage tank.

[0039] Working condition 2: During the ignition-slow-speed stage, it is necessary to switch instantly from a small hydrogen supply flow rate to a larger flow rate, and the control valve 21 is fully opened to keep the low-temperature hydrogen booster pump 23 running. The power of the variable frequency motor of the liquid hydrogen pump 52 is adjusted to be set at the hydrogen flow rate required during the take-off stage. At the same time, the opening of the control valve 53 is increased, and the opening of the control valve 51 is adjusted proportionally, so that more liquid hydrogen flows toward the outlet and the excess flow is returned to the liquid hydrogen storage tank 1.

[0040] Working condition three: During the slow-start-takeoff phase, the hydrogen flow supply needs to be instantly switched to a larger flow rate, the control valve 21 is fully opened, the low-temperature hydrogen booster pump 23 is kept running, and the power of the variable frequency motor of the liquid hydrogen pump 52 is adjusted to maintain the hydrogen flow rate required during the takeoff phase. At the same time, the opening of the control valve 53 is increased, and the opening of the control valve 51 is adjusted proportionally, so that more liquid hydrogen flows toward the outlet while the excess flow is returned to the liquid hydrogen storage tank 1.

[0041] Working condition 4: During the navigation-slow stage, the hydrogen supply flow rate is instantaneously switched to a smaller flow rate, the control valve 21 is fully opened, the low-temperature hydrogen booster pump 23 is kept running, and the power of the variable frequency motor of the liquid hydrogen pump 52 is adjusted to be set at the hydrogen flow rate required in the slow stage. At the same time, the opening of the control valve 53 is reduced, and the opening of the control valve 51 is increased, so that less liquid hydrogen flows toward the outlet.

[0042] Working condition five: During the slow-speed vehicle-stopping stage, the hydrogen supply flow rate needs to be gradually switched to 0, the control valve 21 is closed, the low-temperature hydrogen booster pump 23 stops running, the power of the variable frequency motor of the liquid hydrogen pump 52 is set to 0, and the opening of the control valve 53 is 0. The opening of the control valve 51 is increased, so that the liquid hydrogen output during the shutdown stage of the liquid hydrogen pump flows back to the liquid hydrogen storage tank 1. The reflux of liquid hydrogen will increase the evaporation in the hydrogen storage tank 1. At this time, the opening of the control valve 22 is automatically adjusted according to the pressure in the liquid hydrogen storage tank 1.
