Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of safe release of hydrogen storage and application scenarios, and specifically relates to a hydrogen release system. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen energy is a secondary energy source and also an efficient clean energy carrier. Under the background of "dual carbon", various fields of hydrogen production, storage and application are developing rapidly. Application scenarios include hydrogen production plants, hydrogen storage tank areas, hydrogen refueling mother stations, hydrogen refueling stations, fuel cell vehicle test stations, etc. In the above application scenarios, the gases emitted during overpressure and purging of equipment and pipelines are often discharged on-site or discharged into the flare venting system according to the application scenario, public engineering conditions and the nature of the exhaust gas.

[0003] The exhaust gas of equipment and pipelines when overpressure occurs is hydrogen, which has high gas purity and is heavier than air. When air is mixed into the exhaust system and encounters open flames, it will cause deflagration or detonation. Therefore, it is necessary to set up facilities in the hydrogen exhaust system to prevent air from entering and have a fire-retardant effect.

[0004] The existing technology uses a small flow of inert gas to continuously inject into the venting system, which can maintain a slightly positive pressure state in the system and avoid air backflow, but long-term continuous operation requires a large amount of gas and high cost. The existing technology uses a flame arrester to effectively prevent flashback, but with the increasing scale of hydrogen application, the venting displacement increases, and the flame arrester installed on the large-diameter venting pipeline is expensive, difficult to repair, and affects normal operation. In addition, the end of the venting pipeline is directly connected to the atmosphere. After long-term use, dust and debris in the air can easily enter the venting pipeline, and the flame arrester is prone to blockage. The existing technology uses long-flow water and overflow to maintain the liquid level of the water seal tank, but long-term continuous operation requires a large amount of water, and an underground overflow pipe must be used, which is complicated to construct. During normal production, when the air is vented frequently and in small quantities, a large amount of droplets will be carried, resulting in a waste of water.

[0005] Chinese patent CN202121717984.7 discloses a hydrogenation station venting system based on a nitrogen filling process, including a hydrogenation station venting system pipeline and a hydrogen venting pipe, and also a nitrogen filling pipeline, the output end of which is connected to the hydrogenation station venting system pipeline, for outputting nitrogen to the hydrogenation station venting system pipeline. This technology uses nitrogen to purge and replace the venting pipeline and venting pipe to reduce the air content in the venting system, but the continuous supply of nitrogen consumes a lot of energy and is not economical; intermittent supply of nitrogen, and the dilution of nitrogen over time, makes it impossible to monitor the nitrogen concentration in real time to determine whether the air content has been effectively reduced.

[0006] Chinese patent CN202121861936.5 discloses a hydrogen release device for a fuel cell vehicle hydrogen refueling station, which is mainly aimed at a hydrogen release device, that is, a release device with a release pipe structure. It adopts a flame arrester fire-retardant scheme, and a horn-shaped release type is adopted at the top of the release. The release port is facing the air, and tear holes and pipe bottom drainage methods are used to discharge rainwater. However, the tear holes of this technology are prone to blockage after long-term use, and untimely drainage will cause blockage of the release system.

[0007] Chinese patent CN202220080786.2 discloses a hydrogen safe venting device, which adopts a flame arrester fire arresting scheme. The gas outlet of its hydrogen venting system is connected to the gas inlet of the hydrogen buffer tank through a hydrogen pipeline, and the gas outlet of the hydrogen buffer tank is simultaneously connected to the gas outlet of the carbon dioxide pipeline and the gas inlet of the venting pipeline; the first program-controlled valve is arranged on the gas inlet side of the hydrogen buffer tank; the second program-controlled valve is arranged on the carbon dioxide pipeline; the gas inlet of the carbon dioxide pipeline is connected to the gas outlet of the carbon dioxide cylinder; a flame arrester is arranged at the gas outlet end of the venting pipeline; the oxygen concentration detector and the hydrogen concentration detector are both arranged on the venting pipeline, and the oxygen concentration detector is used to detect the concentration of oxygen in the gas in the venting pipeline, and the hydrogen concentration detector is used to detect the concentration of hydrogen in the gas in the venting pipeline. This technology solves the problem that the existing device often has deflagration or fire accidents when hydrogen is safely vented, but after long-term use, dust and debris in the air are easy to enter the venting pipeline, and the flame arrester is easy to be blocked.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a hydrogen venting system of the present invention, the venting air enters the water seal chamber 101 below the water seal liquid level from the venting air inlet pipe 2 through the venting air inlet 109, and enters the gas phase space at the upper part of the water seal chamber 101 after passing through the water seal; then the venting air enters the venting chamber 104 after the water droplets are removed by the demister 102, and then enters the venting cylinder 107 inside the venting chamber 104, flows upward along the venting cylinder pipe 5, and finally is discharged through the venting top pipe 108. The water for the water seal enters the water seal chamber 101 from the water replenishment pipe 4 through the water replenishment port 112 at the lower part of the water seal chamber 101. When the liquid level monitoring instrument 11 monitors that the liquid level in the water seal chamber 101 reaches the designed high liquid level, the water seal replenishment control valve 12 is closed, and when the liquid level monitoring instrument 11 monitors that the liquid level in the water seal chamber 101 reaches the designed low liquid level, the water seal replenishment control valve 12 is opened. When the liquid phase temperature monitoring instrument 13 of the water seal chamber 101 monitors that the liquid phase temperature in the water seal chamber 101 is lower than 5°C, the heating facility 119 is turned on to maintain the liquid phase in the water seal chamber 101 from freezing. The gas phase temperature monitoring instrument 9 of the water seal chamber 101 is used to observe the gas phase temperature in the chamber during daily inspections. The nitrogen that replaces the hydrogen after each venting enters the gas phase space in the upper part of the water seal chamber 101 from the nitrogen replacement pipeline 3 through the nitrogen replacement port 115 on the flat-plate head 106 above the water seal chamber 101, replacing the hydrogen in the entire water seal tank 1 and the venting cylinder 107.

When checking whether the demister 102 is blocked, nitrogen enters the water seal chamber 101 from the nitrogen displacement pipe 3 through the nitrogen displacement port 115 on the flat head 106 above the water seal chamber 101, and then enters the vent chamber 104 through the demister 102. Whether the demister is blocked is determined by observing the pressure difference between the water seal chamber pressure monitoring instrument 8 and the vent chamber pressure monitoring instrument 10. When the water seal tank 1 is under maintenance, the sewage inside the vent chamber 104 is discharged through the vent chamber sewage pipe 6 through the sewage outlet 114 at the bottom of the vent chamber 104.

The venting branch pipe is arranged obliquely downward, and the angle α with the horizontal direction is 8 to 18°. The venting pipe opening on the outer side of the venting branch pipe is beveled along the horizontal direction, with the cut facing upward, and the bevel angle β is 40 to 60°. One end of the support beam is connected to the venting cylinder, and the other end is connected to the venting branch pipe. The angle γ between the support beam and the vertical direction is 30 to 60°.
