Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of alkaline electrolytic cell quality testing technology, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for determining the sealing performance of an electrolytic cell, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolysis of alkaline water for hydrogen production is currently the most mature and widely demonstrated technology. The alkaline electrolyzer is one of the core components of this process, and its quality directly affects the safe and reliable operation of the system. However, the high temperature and pressure during operation place high demands on the quality of the electrolyzer materials, potentially leading to gas or liquid leaks, resulting in decreased production efficiency, material waste, and operational safety issues. To ensure stable operation, real-time monitoring of the electrolyzer's sealing performance is necessary. Existing sealing testing techniques for alkaline electrolyzers commonly use a pressure method combining airtightness testing and internal leakage testing for pre-startup testing. However, this method is not applicable during the actual operation of the alkaline electrolyzer. In practice, leaks are often only observed after they have already occurred, lacking a direct and quantitative predictive testing technology to support and assess whether the alkaline electrolyzer is in a qualified sealing state for safe operation.

[0026] The methods and embodiments provided in this application can be executed on a computer terminal, mobile terminal, or similar computing device. Taking running on a computer terminal as an example, Figure 1 This is a hardware structure block diagram of a computer terminal for a method of determining the sealing performance of an electrolytic cell according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, a computer terminal may include one or N ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram.

[0029] This embodiment provides a method for determining the sealing performance of an electrolytic cell. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for determining the sealing performance of an electrolytic cell according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps S202-S208:

[0030] Step S202: When the electrolyzer is in operation, periodically obtain the gas flow information of the electrolyzer through the first detection unit and the electrolysis parameter information of the electrolyzer through the second detection unit;

[0031] Optionally, in the electrolytic cell sealing testing system, the first testing unit may include a gas flow meter and a gas-liquid separator on the anode side, primarily for detecting changes in gas flow rate, particularly oxygen flow rate, during electrolytic cell operation. The second testing unit may include an electronic load and an electrochemical workstation, primarily for detecting changes in resistance during electrolytic cell operation. Under normal operating conditions, the electrolytic reaction results in a certain resistance value, which should remain relatively constant under stable conditions. The second testing unit monitors this resistance value in real time via the electrochemical workstation.

[0032] Step S204: Determine the change in oxygen gas flow rate corresponding to the electrolyzer based on the gas flow rate information;

[0033] Step S206: Determine the real-time resistance change of the electrolytic cell based on the electrolysis parameter information;

[0034] Step S208: Determine whether the electrolytic cell has a leakage condition due to reduced sealing performance based on the changes in oxygen gas flow rate and the changes in real-time resistance.

[0035] Optionally, during normal operation of the electrolyzer, the gas flow meter of the detection system displays a stable oxygen gas flow rate of 3 Nm. 3 The real-time resistance remained stable at 0.025Ω per hour, with fluctuations within the normal range. One day, the system detected a sudden decrease in oxygen flow rate to 2.8 Nm³. 3 The oxygen flow rate decreased by 3 Nm³ / h, and the real-time resistance simultaneously increased to 0.030 Ω. Based on the synchronous changes in oxygen flow rate and real-time resistance, the system analysis concluded that the electrolyzer had experienced a leak due to reduced sealing. After restarting the electrolyzer, the system continuously monitored the oxygen flow rate and real-time resistance. After a few minutes, the oxygen flow rate recovered to 3 Nm³ / h. 3 The real-time resistance also decreased to 0.025Ω, and the fluctuation range returned to normal. The system confirmed that the electrolyzer's sealing performance had been restored. Through this embodiment, based on a comprehensive judgment of changes in oxygen gas flow rate and real-time resistance, sealing problems in the electrolyzer can be effectively identified.

[0036] The above steps, while the electrolyzer is in operation, periodically acquire gas flow information of the electrolyzer through a first detection unit and electrolysis parameter information of the electrolyzer through a second detection unit; determine the change in oxygen gas flow corresponding to the electrolyzer based on the gas flow information; determine the real-time resistance change corresponding to the electrolyzer based on the electrolysis parameter information; and determine whether there is a leakage condition due to reduced sealing of the electrolyzer based on the changes in oxygen gas flow and the real-time resistance change. This technical solution solves the problem of the overly complex process of real-time monitoring of the sealing performance of the electrolyzer during operation. Furthermore, by monitoring gas flow and electrolysis parameter information, the sealing performance of the electrolyzer can be detected in real time, ensuring normal equipment operation.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, obtaining gas flow information of an electrolyzer through a first detection unit includes: receiving a first control command issued by a target object, wherein the first control command is used to open the first detection unit in the detection system and set a third operating parameter of the gas flow meter in the first detection unit; recording gas flow data corresponding to the electrolyzer when the first control command is executed; and determining the gas flow information of the electrolyzer based on the gas flow data.

[0038] Optionally, an integrated detection system includes a first detection unit (gas flow meter) and a system control module. The system control software is pre-set with first control commands, which include commands to activate the gas flow meter and adjust its third operating parameters, such as setting the measurement frequency to once every 5 seconds and the measurement range to 0-10 Nm. 3 / h, with an accuracy of ±0.1Nm 3 These parameters are set to adapt to the current operating conditions of the electrolyzer, ensuring accurate capture of minute changes in gas flow rate. After the electrolyzer starts, the system control software automatically sends the first control command. Upon receiving the command, the gas flow meter immediately begins operation, recording the oxygen flow rate data on the anode side in real time. For example, the oxygen flow rate stabilizes at 3 Nm³ / h during the initial operation of the electrolyzer. 3 The gas flow meter continuously records this data at a rate of / h and transmits it to the system control software. In the above embodiment, the step of obtaining gas flow information through the first detection unit not only enables real-time monitoring of the electrolyzer's operating status but also allows for precise data analysis.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, obtaining electrolysis parameter information of the electrolytic cell through the second detection unit includes: receiving a second control command issued by the target object, wherein the second control command is used to open the second detection unit in the detection system and set the first operating parameters of the electrochemical workstation in the second detection unit and the second operating parameters of the electronic load in the second detection unit; when executing the second control command, measuring the electrolysis data corresponding to the electrolytic cell, wherein the electrolysis data includes at least: the measured value of the current used during electrolysis, the measured value of the voltage used during electrolysis, and the corresponding real-time resistance value during electrolysis; and determining the electrolysis parameter information of the electrolytic cell based on the electrolysis data.

[0040] Optionally, during the sealing and performance evaluation of the electrolytic cell, the system control software pre-sets a second control command. This command includes instructions to start the electrochemical workstation and electronic load, as well as details for adjusting their first and second operating parameters. For example, the test voltage of the electrochemical workstation is set to 2.5V and the frequency to 1Hz; the power absorption point of the electronic load is set to 120% of the normal operating current of the electrolytic cell. Once the electrolytic cell starts operating, the system control software automatically sends the second control command. Upon receiving the second control command, the electrochemical workstation and electronic load immediately adjust to the specified operating parameters and begin measuring electrolytic data such as current, voltage, and real-time resistance of the electrolytic cell. For example, initially, the current is stable at 100A, the voltage is 2.5V, and the real-time resistance is 0.025Ω. Through this embodiment, the step of obtaining electrolytic parameter information through the second detection unit in the operation monitoring of the electrolytic cell enables real-time and comprehensive evaluation of the electrolytic cell's operating status.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, determining whether the electrolyzer has a reduced sealing performance leakage condition based on changes in oxygen gas flow rate and real-time resistance changes includes: determining that the electrolyzer does not have a reduced sealing performance leakage condition when the flow rate trend corresponding to the oxygen gas flow rate change is continuously decreasing and the real-time resistance change is a normal trend; determining that the electrolyzer has a first sub-leakage with reduced sealing performance when the flow rate trend corresponding to the oxygen gas flow rate change is continuously decreasing and the real-time resistance change is an abnormal trend; wherein the first sub-leakage is a liquid leak type; and determining that the electrolyzer has a second sub-leakage with reduced sealing performance when the resistance trend corresponding to the real-time resistance change is continuously increasing, wherein the second sub-leakage is a gas leak type.

[0042] Optionally, the electrolyzer operates under normal conditions, and the system begins monitoring the oxygen flow rate and real-time resistance. The initial oxygen flow rate is 3 Nm³. 3 / h, resistance 0.025Ω. Over the next half hour, the oxygen flow rate stabilized at 2.9 Nm³ / h. 3 / h, fluctuation range not exceeding ±0.1Nm 3 The real-time resistance remained at 0.025Ω ± 0.002Ω, without any abnormal changes. Since the oxygen flow rate did not continuously decrease and the resistance trend was normal, the system determined that the electrolyzer was well-sealed and there was no leakage. At another time point, the oxygen flow rate in the electrolyzer began to continuously decrease, from 3 Nm³ / h. 3 / h decreased to 2.7Nm 3 However, within a 30-minute monitoring period, the real-time resistance change trend remained normal, staying within the range of 0.025Ω ± 0.002Ω. System analysis concluded that the decrease in oxygen flow rate matched the normal resistance change trend, indicating a possible liquid leak inside the electrolyzer, i.e., a primary leak, but the gas sealing was acceptable. In another operation of the electrolyzer, the initial oxygen flow rate was 3 Nm³ / h. 3 The oxygen flow rate was initially 0.025Ω per hour. However, after 10 minutes of operation, the real-time resistance suddenly increased to 0.035Ω and continued to increase to 0.04Ω over the next 20 minutes. Although the oxygen flow rate did not decrease significantly during this period, the abnormal increase in real-time resistance led the system to determine that there might be a gas leak in the electrolyzer, i.e., a secondary leak. Through the above embodiment, the detection process based on changes in oxygen flow rate and real-time resistance can effectively and accurately identify sealing problems in the electrolyzer and distinguish between different types of leaks.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, after determining whether there is a leak in the electrolyzer due to reduced sealing based on changes in oxygen gas flow rate and real-time resistance, the method further includes: sending an alarm notification to a target object when there is a leak in the electrolyzer due to reduced sealing; wherein the alarm notification is used to instruct the target object to perform maintenance on the electrolyzer; and obtaining a processing task generated by the target object in response to the alarm notification.

[0044] Optionally, the electrolytic cell's sealing detection system detected a leak indicating reduced sealing. Specifically, the system detected an abnormal increase in the electrolytic cell's real-time resistance, coupled with a continuous decrease in oxygen flow, leading to the conclusion that a gas leak (secondary leak) existed within the electrolytic cell. The system then sent an alarm notification to the pre-defined mobile devices of the maintenance team. This notification included the electrolytic cell's ID, the specific time the leak was detected, the leak type (gas leak), and a preliminary analysis of the possible leak location. Based on the processing task generated from the alarm notification, the maintenance team first shut off the electrolytic cell's power supply and then conducted a thorough inspection of the gas pipeline connections. Through this specific embodiment, when a leak indicating reduced sealing is detected in the electrolytic cell, the sending of the alarm notification not only ensures a rapid and professional response but also effectively resolves the leak problem through task generation and execution.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, after obtaining the processing task generated by the target object in response to the alarm prompt information, the above method further includes: recording the processing task in the detection log, and determining the target oxygen gas flow rate change and the target real-time resistance change updated after the processing task is executed; if the flow rate trend corresponding to the target oxygen gas flow rate change is continuous and the target real-time resistance change is a normal trend, it is determined that the sealing performance of the electrolytic cell has been repaired.

[0046] Optionally, after receiving the alarm information, the control center generates a processing task and records it in the monitoring log. After the processing task is completed, the system continues to monitor the oxygen gas flow rate and real-time resistance of the electrolyzer. If the initial oxygen flow rate is 3 Nm³... 3 The oxygen flow rate was 3 Nm³ / h, with a real-time resistance of 0.025 Ω. After replacing the sealing gasket, the oxygen flow rate stabilized at 3 Nm³ / h. 3 The flow rate remained constant throughout the hourly rate; the real-time resistance also returned to normal, with its trend reverting to normal, assuming the resistance stabilized at 0.025Ω ± 0.002Ω. Based on the monitored flow rate and resistance trends, the system automatically determined that the electrolytic cell's sealing performance had been repaired. Through this specific implementation, the processing task was recorded in the detection log, and a comparative analysis was performed on the changes in oxygen flow rate and real-time resistance after processing. This effectively confirmed the repaired sealing performance of the electrolytic cell and provided data support for preventative maintenance.

[0047] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. To better understand the method, the following description, in conjunction with embodiments, illustrates the above process, but is not intended to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application. Specifically:

[0048] This application provides an optional embodiment of an electrolytic cell sealing performance testing system and method to address the problem that the process of real-time monitoring of the sealing performance of an electrolytic cell during operation is too complex. This method designs an electrolytic cell sealing performance testing system, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an electrolytic cell sealing test system according to an embodiment of this application. The system includes a gas flow meter 32, an anode-side gas-liquid separation device 34, an electrolytic cell 36, an electronic load 38, an electrochemical workstation 40, and a system control module 42.

[0049] Optional, gas flow meter 32. Used to monitor the gas flow rate, especially oxygen flow rate, output from the anode side of the electrolyzer to detect gas leaks.

[0050] Optionally, an anode-side gas-liquid separator 34 is provided. Located adjacent to the gas flow meter and connected to the anode side of the electrolytic cell 36, its function is to separate the gas and liquid generated during electrolysis, ensuring that the gas flow meter can accurately measure the gas flow rate.

[0051] Optional, electronic load 38. The electronic load is connected to the electrochemical workstation via an adapter terminal, and the system control software is connected to the electrochemical workstation via a communication cable.

[0052] Optionally, an electrochemical workstation 40 is provided. The working electrode and the correction electrode of the electrochemical workstation are connected in parallel to the positive terminal of the electrolytic cell 36, and the counter electrode and the reference electrode of the electrochemical workstation are connected in parallel to the negative terminal of the electrolytic cell 36.

[0053] Optionally, the system detection principle is based on the fact that poor sealing can lead to gas leakage, which will affect the electrolysis reaction and thus cause the resistance value to be too high. Therefore, it is feasible to use real-time resistance data to judge the changes in the sealing of the electrolytic cell, and then supplement it with the observation of changes in the amount of gas produced by electrolysis to verify the gas sealing.

[0054] Optional, system control module 42. Includes an electrochemical workstation testing system, an electronic load control system, and data processing software.

[0055] Optional, Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an electrolytic cell sealing test according to an embodiment of this application, specifically including the following steps:

[0056] Step 1: After the electrolytic cell is properly assembled, start it up. Use the system control software to open the electrochemical workstation and electronic load, set the parameters, and complete the program settings for the voltage, current, and overall test duration required for normal operation of the electrolytic cell through the software. Then open the resistance test program and set it according to the set operating current.

[0057] Step 2: Observe the changes in the gas flow meter. Turn on the gas flow meter at the top of the gas-liquid separator and periodically observe and record the gas flow rate.

[0058] Step 3: System Startup. Periodically read and record the actual measured values ​​of current and voltage, real-time resistance, and gas flow rate fed back by the system during electrolytic cell operation for data analysis.

[0059] Step 4: Monitor real-time changes in resistance and oxygen flow rate. Observe the real-time changes in resistance (fluctuation range not exceeding 3mV) and oxygen flow rate (fluctuation range not exceeding 0.5Nm3 / h). If the resistance suddenly increases, stop and check for leaks. If the oxygen flow rate decreases while the resistance increases, stop and check for leaks. Only if the oxygen flow rate suddenly decreases and the resistance change is normal, continue to observe, as it does not necessarily indicate a leak.

[0060] It is important to note that in an electrolytic cell sealing test system, the accuracy and stability of testing equipment such as gas flow meters and electrochemical workstations must be ensured to avoid misjudgments caused by equipment errors, which could affect the sealing test results. When conducting tests while the electrolytic cell is running, safety factors must be considered to ensure that all operations are performed within safe limits, preventing further damage or safety risks to the electrolytic cell due to improper operation during the testing process. When a sudden increase in resistance or a decrease in oxygen gas flow is detected, there should be a clear shutdown and inspection procedure and standard to avoid more serious consequences from continued operation of the electrolytic cell. Furthermore, changes in the electrolytic cell's operating environment, such as temperature and humidity, must be considered, as these factors can affect the sealing and accuracy of the test results and must be fully taken into account in the design of the testing system.

[0061] In summary, the optional embodiments of this application determine whether there is a leakage condition due to reduced sealing of the electrolytic cell by real-time monitoring of changes in the electrochemical resistance and gas flow data, especially the oxygen flow rate. The system integrates key components such as an electrochemical workstation, a gas flow meter, and a gas-liquid separation device. By setting test parameters through system control software, the system records and analyzes the operating data of the electrolytic cell in real time, thereby achieving continuous, rapid, and accurate assessment of the sealing performance of the electrolytic cell and effectively improving detection efficiency.

[0062] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the methods according to the above embodiments can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platforms. Of course, they can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of this application, in essence, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product. This computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk) and includes several instructions to cause a terminal device (which may be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods of the various embodiments of this application.

This device is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred embodiments, and details already described will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that performs a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.

[0064] Figure 5 This is a structural block diagram of an electrolytic cell sealing performance determination device according to an embodiment of this application. The device includes:

This technical solution solves the problem of the overly complex process of real-time monitoring of the sealing performance of the electrolyzer during operation.
