TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liquid hydrogen, in particular to a vacuum multi-layer insulated liquid hydrogen container and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage and supply mode has the advantages of high hydrogen storage ratio (high hydrogen carrying density), low transportation cost, high vaporization purity, low storage and transportation pressure, and high safety in use, can effectively control the comprehensive cost, and the transportation process does not involve complex unsafe factors. In addition, the advantages of liquid hydrogen in preparation, storage and transportation are more suitable for the large-scale and commercial supply of hydrogen energy. At the same time, with the rapid development of hydrogen energy terminal application industry, it will also push back the growth of liquid hydrogen demand. The liquid hydrogen technology route will become one of the important technical ways for domestic civil hydrogen energy development and application. One of the core problems of liquid hydrogen use is vaporization loss. Because the boiling point of hydrogen is very low, liquid hydrogen must be stored in a super-insulated storage tank.
[0003] However, even if the storage tank has good insulation performance, liquid hydrogen will always evaporate to some extent during storage and transportation. The evaporation of liquid hydrogen will have two losses, one is the loss of cold energy, that is, the electric energy consumed in the hydrogen liquefaction process, and the other is the loss of hydrogen fuel. The vaporized hydrogen gas will cause the internal pressure of the storage tank to rise and must be discharged in time. A typical liquid hydrogen storage tank adopts a double-shell structure with a vacuum interlayer in the middle, and a multi-layer radiation shielding screen is also provided. The vacuum degree of the vacuum insulation layer of a small storage tank is relatively higher (less than 10^-2 Pa), while the vacuum degree of the vacuum insulation layer of a large storage tank is lower (1 Pa), and there is a certain structural support between the double shells.
[0004] However, the conventional multi-layer insulated liquid hydrogen storage tank has problems such as easy damage to the vacuum degree, precise design of the distribution of the multi-layer insulation filler and the radiation shielding screen, and is difficult to adapt to more liquid hydrogen medium application scenarios in the future.

[0033] (1) Heat insulation gas filling

Under the action of pressure, the external liquid hydrogen enters the liquid hydrogen filling pipeline 3, passes through the liquid hydrogen filling valve 4 and enters the bottom of the inner tank 2 of the liquid hydrogen storage tank. At this time, since the inner tank 2 of the liquid hydrogen storage tank is in a high-temperature state, the liquid hydrogen will be vaporized into low-temperature hydrogen gas, which then enters the hydrogen utilization pipeline 11 and successively passes through the methane cooling branch 17 by flowing through the methane cooling valve 18, enters the carbon dioxide cooling branch 20 by flowing through the carbon dioxide cooling valve 21, enters the radiation cooling branch 23 by flowing through the radiation cooling valve 24, and releases cold energy in the para-hydrogen converter 25, and then is exhausted through the fourth hydrogen valve 15.

The carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide adiabatic layer 9 freezes under the cooling of the carbon dioxide cooling branch 20, and a vacuum state is gradually formed inside.

[0042] 2) When it is necessary to increase the hydrogen supply amount, open the third hydrogen valve 14 and close the radiation cooling valve 24, so that hydrogen no longer enters the radiation adiabatic layer 10, and the corresponding radiation adiabatic ability is weakened;
[0043] 3) When it is necessary to further increase the hydrogen supply amount, on the basis of the above operation, continue to open the second hydrogen valve 13 and close the carbon dioxide cooling valve 21, so that hydrogen no longer enters the carbon dioxide adiabatic layer 9, and the solid carbon dioxide frozen in the carbon dioxide adiabatic layer 9 begins to vaporize, the vacuum degree is destroyed, and the heat conduction ability of the carbon dioxide adiabatic layer 9 is increased;
[0044] 4) When the hydrogen supply needs to be further increased, on the basis of the above operation, the first hydrogen valve 12 is continuously opened, the methane cooling valve 18 is closed, hydrogen no longer enters the methane gas insulation layer 8, the frozen solid methane in the methane gas insulation layer 8 starts to vaporize, the vacuum degree is destroyed, and the heat conduction capacity of the methane gas insulation layer 8 is increased;
[0045] 5) The above steps can be performed in sequence, reverse order or synchronously, and the sequence is determined according to the hydrogen supply demand.
[0046] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
