Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of engine technology, and in particular to a pressure maintenance test method, device, vehicle and program product for an engine hydrogen supply system. Background Art

[0002] The hydrogen supply system of a hydrogen fuel engine is a key component to ensure efficient and safe operation of the engine. Due to the strong compressibility of hydrogen, the design and control of the hydrogen supply system becomes particularly important. The hydrogen supply system is not only related to the thermal efficiency and high performance of the hydrogen fuel engine, but also plays a vital role in ensuring the safe operation of the engine. Leakage in the hydrogen supply system may cause hydrogen to escape from the system. If the leakage is serious, it may pose a threat to the environment and personnel safety. Hydrogen is a gas lighter than air. It may spread rapidly after leakage. Hydrogen has a wide combustion range. Once the leaked hydrogen encounters a fire source, it is very easy to cause a fire or explosion, especially in a closed or semi-closed environment. The accumulation of hydrogen may reach the explosion limit, posing a serious threat to the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a pressure maintenance test method for an engine hydrogen supply system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressure maintenance test method of the engine hydrogen supply system includes the following steps:

[0027] The method adopts a pressure-maintaining test system, which includes a controller 12, a first pressure sensor 5, a second pressure sensor 2, a hydrogen storage device 1, a first stop valve 4, a second stop valve 14, a third stop valve 10, a fourth stop valve 6, a pressure regulating valve 3, a nitrogen storage device 9 and a hydrogen exhaust pipeline 11, and a hydrogen concentration sensor 13, wherein one end of the first stop valve 4 is connected to the first end of the pressure regulating valve 3, the second end of the pressure regulating valve 3 is connected to the second pressure sensor 2, the third end of the pressure regulating valve 3 is connected to the controller 12, and the second pressure sensor 2 is connected to The first stop valve 4 is connected to the hydrogen storage device 1, the other end of the first stop valve 4 is connected to one end of the fourth stop valve 6 and the first end of the hydrogen concentration sensor 13, one end of the second stop valve 14 is respectively connected to one end of the third stop valve 10, the other end of the first stop valve 4 and one end of the fourth stop valve 6, the other end of the second stop valve 14 is connected to one end of the hydrogen exhaust pipeline 11, the other end of the third stop valve 10 is connected to the nitrogen storage device 9, one end of the fourth stop valve 6 is connected to the first pressure sensor 5, and the other end of the hydrogen exhaust pipeline 11 is connected to the controller 12.

[0028] Specific as Figure 2 As shown in the attached Figure 1As shown, the pressure-maintaining test system includes: a hydrogen storage device 1, a second pressure sensor 2, a pressure regulating valve 3, a first stop valve 4, a second stop valve 14, a first pressure sensor 5, a fourth stop valve 6, a hydrogen supply pipeline and a hydrogen rail assembly 7, a fifth stop valve 8 at the hydrogen inlet inside each hydrogen nozzle, a nitrogen storage device 9 and a third stop valve 10 connected in parallel with the hydrogen storage device 1, a hydrogen exhaust pipeline 11 arranged at the outlet of the third stop valve 4, and a controller 12 and a hydrogen concentration sensor 13 arranged at a key interface and a hydrogen rail and an injector assembly. The first end of the hydrogen supply pipeline and the hydrogen rail assembly 7 is connected to the first pressure sensor 5 and the second end of the hydrogen concentration sensor, the second end of the hydrogen supply pipeline and the hydrogen rail assembly 7 is connected to one end of the fifth stop valve 8 and the third end of the hydrogen concentration sensor 13, the third end of the hydrogen supply pipeline and the hydrogen rail assembly 7 is connected to the controller 12, and the other end of the fifth stop valve 8 is connected to the controller 12.

[0029] In step S101, it is determined whether the engine is stopped.

[0030] In step S102, if the engine stops running, after receiving the inspection instruction sent by the driver, the controller 12 controls the first stop valve 4 to close and the second stop valve 14 to open, and controls the second stop valve 14 to close after the hydrogen is exhausted through the hydrogen exhaust pipeline 11, and controls the third stop valve 10 to open to output nitrogen through the nitrogen storage device 9, controls the pressure regulating valve 3 to adjust the current pressure of the hydrogen engine to the preset pressure holding pressure, and then controls the fourth stop valve 6 to close.

[0031] Among them, the preset holding pressure can be a threshold value set in advance by the user, a threshold value obtained through a limited number of experiments, or a threshold value obtained through a limited number of computer simulations. In the embodiment of the present application, the preset holding pressure is consistent with the hydrogen rail pressure under common operating conditions of hydrogen engines, which can be 1 MPa.

[0032] In step S103, a first pressure drop value of the first pressure sensor 5 is detected. If the first pressure drop value is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold value within a preset time, it is determined that there is a leak in the engine hydrogen supply system.

[0033] The first preset threshold and the preset time may be thresholds preset by a user, thresholds obtained through a limited number of experiments, or thresholds obtained through a limited number of computer simulations, which are not specifically limited here.

[0034] Specifically, when the car stops, the driver sends an inspection instruction to the controller 12. After receiving the inspection instruction, the controller 12 controls the first stop valve 4 to close to cut off the hydrogen supply, and the second stop valve 14 to open, and the hydrogen is discharged through the hydrogen exhaust pipeline 11. Then, the first stop valve 4 and the second stop valve 14 are controlled to close, and the third stop valve 10 is controlled to open by the controller 12. The nitrogen storage device 9 provides nitrogen. After the pressure regulating valve 3 is adjusted to the preset pressure maintaining pressure, the fourth stop valve 6 is controlled to close. The above operations can be understood as the operation process of the pressure maintaining test.

[0035] Furthermore, the controller 12 detects the first pressure sensor 5 in real time. If it is detected that the first pressure drop value of the first pressure sensor 5 is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value within the preset time, it is determined that there is a leakage in the engine hydrogen supply system, which can also be understood as the current leakage of the hydrogen supply system exceeds the safety range.

[0036] Optionally, in some embodiments, after detecting the first pressure drop value of the first pressure sensor 5, the method further includes: if the first pressure drop value is less than a first preset threshold value within a preset time, determining that there is no leakage in the engine hydrogen supply system.

[0037] It can be understood that if the first pressure drop value of the first pressure sensor 5 is less than the first preset threshold within the preset time, it means that there is no leakage in the hydrogen supply system, which can also be understood as the current leakage amount of the hydrogen supply system is within a safe range.

[0038] Optionally, in some embodiments, after determining that the engine hydrogen supply system has a leak, it also includes: controlling the fifth stop valve 8 disposed at the inlet of the multiple hydrogen nozzles of the engine hydrogen supply system to close, detecting the second pressure drop value of the hydrogen supply pipeline of the engine hydrogen supply system within a preset time; if it is detected that the second pressure drop value within the preset time is greater than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the hydrogen supply pipeline has a leak, and a hydrogen supply pipeline leak alarm reminder is sent to the target terminal, wherein the first end of the hydrogen supply pipeline is connected to the first pressure sensor 5 and the second end of the hydrogen concentration sensor 13, the second end of the hydrogen supply pipeline is connected to one end of the fifth stop valve 8 and the third end of the hydrogen concentration sensor 13, the third end of the hydrogen supply pipeline is connected to the controller 12, and the other end of the fifth stop valve 8 is connected to the controller 12. The hydrogen supply pipeline is the hydrogen supply pipeline and hydrogen rail assembly 7 mentioned above.

[0039] Among them, the preset time and the second preset threshold can be thresholds set in advance by the user, can be thresholds obtained through a limited number of experiments, or can be thresholds obtained through a limited number of computer simulations. In this embodiment of the application, the preset time can be 0.5h, and the second preset threshold can be 0.3MPa.

[0040] Specifically, if there is a leak in the engine hydrogen supply system, the fifth stop valve 8 arranged at the inlet of multiple hydrogen nozzles in the engine hydrogen supply system is controlled to be closed, and the second pressure drop value of the hydrogen supply pipeline of the engine hydrogen supply system within the preset time is detected. If the second pressure drop value is greater than the second preset threshold value within the preset time, it means that there is a leak in the hydrogen supply pipeline. The controller 12 sends a hydrogen supply pipeline leakage alarm reminder to the target terminal, reminding the user to repair and maintain the hydrogen supply pipeline.

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, after detecting the second pressure drop value of the hydrogen supply pipeline of the engine hydrogen supply system within a preset time, it includes: if the second pressure drop value within the preset time is less than a third preset threshold value, it is determined that at least one hydrogen nozzle has a leak, and the fifth stop valve 8 at the inlet of each hydrogen nozzle is closed in turn, and a hydrogen nozzle leakage alarm is sent to the target terminal.

[0042] Among them, the third preset threshold can be a threshold set in advance by the user, can be a threshold obtained through a limited number of experiments, or can be a threshold obtained through a limited number of computer simulations. In the embodiment of the present application, the third preset threshold is 0.1 MPa.

[0043] It can be understood that if the second pressure drop value of the hydrogen supply pipeline of the engine hydrogen supply system is less than the third preset threshold value within the preset time, it means that the leakage of the hydrogen nozzle is large. At this time, the fifth stop valve 8 at the hydrogen inlet inside each hydrogen nozzle is closed in sequence according to the set order to ensure that the leakage of one nozzle is tested each time the pressure maintenance test is performed. The operation process of the above pressure maintenance test is repeated, and a hydrogen nozzle leakage alarm reminder is sent to the target terminal to remind the user to maintain and replace the hydrogen nozzle.

[0044] Optionally, in some embodiments, after judging whether the engine stops running, it includes: if the engine is in operation, obtaining the actual rail pressure of the engine at the second pressure sensor 2 of the engine hydrogen supply system and the current hydrogen concentration value at the hydrogen concentration sensor 13 of the engine hydrogen supply system; when the difference between the actual rail pressure of the engine and the target required rail pressure is greater than the fourth preset threshold, or the current hydrogen concentration value is greater than the fifth preset threshold, sending a hydrogen leakage alarm to the target terminal, and cutting off the hydrogen supply through the first shut-off valve 4 in a preset emergency state, and exhausting the hydrogen through the hydrogen exhaust pipe 11.

[0045] The fourth preset threshold and the fifth preset threshold may be thresholds preset by a user, may be thresholds obtained through a limited number of experiments, or may be thresholds obtained through a limited number of computer simulations, and are not specifically limited here.

[0046] Specifically, when the engine is running, the controller 12 monitors the second pressure sensor 2, the first pressure sensor 5, and the hydrogen concentration sensor 13 in real time, wherein the detection value of the first pressure sensor 5 is the actual rail pressure of the engine operation, and when the deviation between the actual rail pressure of the engine operation and the required rail pressure exceeds the fourth preset threshold, or the current hydrogen concentration value detected by the hydrogen concentration sensor exceeds the fifth preset threshold, the hydrogen leakage alarm of the hydrogen supply system is promptly sent to the target terminal, and in an emergency, for example, when the current hydrogen concentration value exceeds a preset maximum warning value, the first shut-off valve 4 cuts off the hydrogen supply, and the hydrogen is discharged through the hydrogen exhaust pipe 11.

[0047] According to the pressure maintenance test method of the engine hydrogen supply system proposed in the embodiment of the present application, it is determined whether the engine stops running. If the engine stops running, after receiving the inspection instruction sent by the driver, the first stop valve is controlled to close and the second stop valve is opened through the controller, and the second stop valve is controlled to close after the hydrogen is emptied through the hydrogen exhaust pipeline, and the third stop valve is controlled to open to output nitrogen through the nitrogen storage device, and the pressure regulating valve is controlled to adjust the current pressure of the hydrogen engine to the preset pressure maintenance pressure, and the fourth stop valve is controlled to close, and the first pressure drop value of the first pressure sensor is detected. If the first pressure drop value is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value within the preset time, it is determined that there is a leak in the engine hydrogen supply system. In this way, the problem of how to detect hydrogen leakage in the hydrogen supply system of a hydrogen fuel engine is solved, the maintenance cost is effectively reduced, and the safety of the hydrogen supply system is guaranteed.

[0048] Next, a pressure maintaining test device for an engine hydrogen supply system proposed in accordance with an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] It should be noted that the above explanation of the embodiment of the pressure-maintaining test method for the engine hydrogen supply system is also applicable to the pressure-maintaining test device for the engine hydrogen supply system of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] According to the pressure-maintaining test device of the engine hydrogen supply system proposed in the embodiment of the present application, it is determined whether the engine stops running. If the engine stops running, after receiving the inspection instruction sent by the driver, the first stop valve is controlled to close and the second stop valve is controlled to open by the controller, and the second stop valve is controlled to close after the hydrogen is emptied through the hydrogen exhaust pipeline, and the third stop valve is controlled to open to output nitrogen through the nitrogen storage device, and the pressure regulating valve is controlled to adjust the current pressure of the hydrogen engine to the preset pressure-maintaining pressure, and the fourth stop valve is controlled to close, and the first pressure drop value of the first pressure sensor is detected. If the first pressure drop value is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value within the preset time, it is determined that there is a leak in the engine hydrogen supply system. In this way, the problem of how to detect hydrogen leakage in the hydrogen supply system of the hydrogen fuel engine is solved, the maintenance cost is effectively reduced, and the safety of the hydrogen supply system is guaranteed.
