Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen production, and particularly to a PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system, method and equipment. Background Art
[0002] In the industrial application of PEM electrolyzers, the problem of reverse connection of the positive and negative electrodes has long existed and has not been fundamentally solved. The current mainstream prevention means in the industry rely on physical markings (such as terminal color markings, text annotations) and manual operation specifications, but there are significant defects: the markings are prone to failure due to oil stains, wear or fading in a complex environment, and technicians may still misconnect the electrodes due to fatigue or operational negligence even after training. More critically, the existing measures can only rely on pre-prevention and cannot actively detect the reverse connection state and intervene immediately in the initial stage of system operation. For example, statistics of a large-scale hydrogen energy project show that equipment failures caused by reverse connection account for 12.7%, and 63% of the accidents occur during the system commissioning stage, revealing the unreliability of the marking-dependent scheme.
[0003] When the PEM electrolyzer is accidentally connected in reverse, a series of chain failure mechanisms will be triggered: the reaction that should generate oxygen on the anode side is replaced by hydrogen, resulting in an excessive concentration of local hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas and posing an explosion risk; the reverse current forces protons to migrate reversely, damaging the chemical stability of the proton exchange membrane, and at the same time, the titanium-based anode material accelerates corrosion in the hydrogen evolution environment. Experimental data show that the electrode corrosion rate increases by 8 times after 30 minutes of reverse connection; since the catalytic activity of the anode catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction is only 1 / 10 of that of the cathode, the current density cannot exceed 35% of the rated value, causing energy waste. More seriously, the existing system lacks the ability to give early warnings of reverse connection. A literature report shows that a certain electrolyzer was not discovered until it had been operating in reverse for 4 hours. At this time, the membrane electrode had suffered irreversible damage, and the maintenance cost was as high as 60% of the original value of the equipment. This delay not only causes economic losses but may also trigger catastrophic accidents such as fires or explosions due to the accumulation of hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system, method and equipment to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: In the first aspect, the present invention provides a PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system, and the system includes: A pure water pump, whose input end is connected to the output end of a pure water tank, and whose output end is respectively connected to the first input end of an oxygen separator and the first end of a first flow meter; A pure water circulation pump, whose input end is connected to the output end of the oxygen separator, and whose output end is connected to the first end of a second flow meter; and The PEM electrolyzer has its input end connected to the second end of the second flowmeter. Its oxygen-water mixed output end is connected to the second input end of the oxygen separator through an oxygen measurement pipe. Its hydrogen-water mixed output end and the second end of the first flowmeter are both connected to the input end of the hydrogen separator through a hydrogen measurement pipe. The output end of the hydrogen separator is connected to the input end of the pure water tank. The oxygen separator also has an oxygen outlet end, and the hydrogen separator also has a hydrogen outlet end. Wherein, a first valve is arranged between the output end of the pure water pump and the first input end of the oxygen separator. Second valves and third valves are respectively arranged on both sides of the first flowmeter. Fourth valves and fifth valves are respectively arranged on both sides of the second flowmeter.
[0006] In a possible implementation manner, the oxygen measurement pipe and the hydrogen measurement pipe have the same specification size.
[0007] In a possible implementation manner, a pure water cooler is arranged between the output end of the oxygen separator and the input end of the pure water circulation pump.
[0008] In a possible implementation manner, an ion filter is arranged between the output end of the pure water circulation pump and the first end of the second flowmeter.
[0009] In a possible implementation manner, the PEM electrolyzer is electrically connected to a hydrogen production power supply.
[0010] In a possible implementation manner, the PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system further includes a control cabinet connected to each component.
[0011] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production method. The method is applied to the PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system as described above. The method includes: Start the pure water circulation pump through the control cabinet, open the first valve, the fourth valve, and the fifth valve, close the second valve and the third valve, and fill the PEM electrolyzer with water. Close the first valve through the control cabinet, open the second valve, the third valve, the fourth valve, and the fifth valve, and control the opening degrees of the second valve, the third valve, the fourth valve, and the fifth valve so that the water flow rates on the hydrogen side and the oxygen side measured by the first flowmeter and the second flowmeter are the same and the water flow rate is within a preset normal working range. Start the hydrogen production power supply through the control cabinet, and the PEM electrolyzer starts to produce hydrogen. Judge the magnitudes of the first pressure at the hydrogen measurement pipe and the second pressure at the oxygen measurement pipe. If the first pressure is greater than the second pressure, close the second valve and the third valve through the control cabinet, and open the first valve. The PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system enters a safe operation state. If the first pressure is less than the second pressure, the hydrogen production power supply is turned off through the control cabinet, the PEM electrolyzer stops hydrogen production, and it is checked whether the positive and negative electrodes of the PEM electrolyzer are connected reversely.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Figure 1 The structural block diagram of a PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. The PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system includes: a pure water tank 1, a pure water pump 2, an oxygen separator 3, a first flowmeter 4, a pure water circulation pump 5, a second flowmeter 6, a PEM electrolyzer 7, an oxygen measurement tube 8, a hydrogen measurement tube 9, and a hydrogen separator 10. The input end of the pure water pump 2 is connected to the output end of the pure water tank 1, and the output end of the pure water pump 2 is respectively connected to the first input end of the oxygen separator 3 and the first end of the first flowmeter 4; the input end of the pure water circulation pump 5 is connected to the output end of the oxygen separator 3, and the output end of the pure water circulation pump 5 is connected to the first end of the second flowmeter 6; the input end of the PEM electrolyzer 7 is connected to the second end of the second flowmeter 6. The oxygen-water mixed output end of the PEM electrolyzer 7 is connected to the second input end of the oxygen separator 3 through the oxygen measurement tube 8. The hydrogen-water mixed output end of the PEM electrolyzer 7 and the second end of the first flowmeter 4 are both connected to the input end of the hydrogen separator 10 through the hydrogen measurement tube 9. The output end of the hydrogen separator 10 is connected to the input end of the pure water tank 1. The oxygen separator 3 also has an oxygen outlet end, and the hydrogen separator 10 also has a hydrogen outlet end; wherein, a first valve 11 is arranged between the output end of the pure water pump 2 and the first input end of the oxygen separator 3, and second valves 12 and a third valve 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first flowmeter 4, and fourth valves 14 and a fifth valve 15 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second flowmeter 6.
[0022] In the embodiment of the present application, the PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system constructs a hydrogen production system with self-diagnosis ability through a closed-loop water circulation and a symmetric gas path design. Specifically, the pure water tank 1 stores water as a water source and outputs in two paths through the pure water pump 2. The main path supplies water to the oxygen separator 3 through the first valve 11, and the bypass directly enters the hydrogen measurement tube 9 through the first flow meter 4. The water separated by the oxygen separator 3 is driven by the pure water circulation pump 5 and enters the PEM electrolyzer 7 through the second flow meter 6 to form a closed loop. The oxygen-water mixture generated by electrolysis returns to the oxygen separator 3 through the oxygen measurement tube 8, and the hydrogen-water mixture enters the hydrogen separator 10 through the hydrogen measurement tube 9, and the separated water returns to the pure water tank 1.
[0023] It should be noted that the oxygen measurement tube 8 and the hydrogen measurement tube 9 have the same specifications. When the positive and negative electrodes of the electrolyzer are correctly connected, the pressure in the hydrogen measurement tube 9 is significantly higher than that in the oxygen measurement tube 8 because the hydrogen production (2 mol) is twice that of oxygen (1 mol). If connected reversely, the hydrogen evolution efficiency at the anode is only 1 / 10 of the normal working condition, resulting in a sudden drop in the hydrogen side pressure. By comparing the pressure difference between the two tubes in real time through the control cabinet 19 and combining the closed-loop regulation of the first flow meter 4 (monitoring the bypass flow) and the second flow meter 6 (monitoring the main path flow), the misconnection state can be accurately identified at the startup stage (before reaching full load), avoiding irreversible damage to the membrane electrode caused by reverse current.
[0024] Furthermore, the PEM electrolyzer 7 is electrically connected to the hydrogen production power supply 18 to provide a stable DC power supply for the water electrolysis reaction, realizing the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy. The distributed control of the first to fifth valves realizes the water path switching and emergency evacuation, and cooperates with the quick cut-off function of the hydrogen production power supply 18 to form a hardware-level anti-misconnection protection mechanism.
[0025] In some embodiments, a pure water cooler 16 is provided between the output end of the oxygen separator 3 and the input end of the pure water circulation pump 5 to control the circulating water temperature at 50 - 55 °C, optimize the performance of the proton exchange membrane, reduce the working temperature of the electrolyzer, extend the service life of the membrane material and the catalyst, improve the system energy efficiency, and reduce the heat dissipation energy consumption by 20%.
[0026] Preferably, an ion filter 17 is provided between the output end of the pure water circulation pump 5 and the first end of the second flow meter 6 to remove calcium and magnesium ions in the water (≤1 ppm), prevent electrode scaling and membrane pollution, ensure the accuracy of the flow meter (±0.5%), avoid measurement errors caused by impurities, extend the service life of the core components, and reduce the maintenance frequency.
[0027] It can be understood that the PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system further includes a control cabinet 19 connected to each component, which realizes the intelligent control of the whole system, dynamically adjusts the valve opening and power supply parameters, and real-time monitors pressure / flow / temperature data, etc., and supports local operation and remote monitoring. In one example, the control cabinet 19 at least includes a programmable logic controller (PLC) for processing input signals and outputting control signals according to preset logic to control the operating states of components such as pumps, valves, and power supplies; an industrial computer (IPC) for providing a human-machine interface to facilitate operators to monitor the system operating state, set parameters, store historical data, and perform remote operations and fault diagnosis; a power supply module for providing a stable power supply for each device in the control cabinet and having protection functions such as overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuit; relays and contactors for controlling the on / off of the circuit to realize the start / stop and switching of devices such as pumps, valves, and power supplies; a communication module for realizing communication with other components of the system and a remote monitoring center and supporting data transmission using multiple communication protocols; and a sensor signal conditioning module for conditioning and converting sensor signals so that they can be accurately read and processed.
[0028] Figure 2 The flowchart of a PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. This PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production method is applied to the PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system described above, and this method includes the following steps: Step 201, start the pure water circulation pump through the control cabinet, open the first valve, the fourth valve, and the fifth valve, close the second valve and the third valve, and fill the PEM electrolyzer with water. In the embodiment of the present application, start the pure water circulation pump to inject water into the PEM electrolyzer, open the first valve, the fourth valve, and the fifth valve, close the second valve and the third valve. The pure water path is sequentially realized as the pure water pump, the first valve, the oxygen separator, the pure water cooler, the pure water circulation pump, the ion filter, the fourth valve, the second flowmeter, the fifth valve, the PEM electrolyzer, the oxygen measurement tube, and the oxygen separator. After the PEM electrolyzer is filled with water, perform the following step 202; in this process, the pure water cooler can cool the water to ensure that the water is within a suitable temperature range; the ion filter can remove impurity ions in the water and improve the water quality.
[0029] Step 202, close the first valve through the control cabinet, open the second valve, the third valve, the fourth valve, and the fifth valve, and control the opening degrees of the second valve, the third valve, the fourth valve, and the fifth valve so that the water flow rates on the hydrogen and oxygen sides measured by the first flowmeter and the second flowmeter are the same and the water flow rate is within a preset normal working range.
[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the pure water path on the hydrogen side is sequentially realized as a pure water pump, a second valve, a first flowmeter, a third valve, a hydrogen measurement tube, a hydrogen separator, a pure water tank, and a pure water pump. The pure water path on the oxygen side is sequentially realized as an oxygen separator, a pure water cooler, a pure water circulation pump, an ion filter, a fourth valve, a second flowmeter, a fifth valve, a PEM electrolyzer, an oxygen measurement tube, and an oxygen separator. In this case, the reaction conditions on both sides of the PEM electrolyzer are ensured to be uniform, avoiding problems such as local overheating or uneven reaction caused by water flow differences, which helps to improve the hydrogen production efficiency and the quality of hydrogen, and also lays a foundation for accurately judging the operation state of the system subsequently.
[0031] Step 203: Start the hydrogen production power supply through the control cabinet, and the PEM electrolyzer starts to produce hydrogen.
[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, starting the hydrogen production power supply through the control cabinet provides the electric energy required for the electrolysis reaction of water in the PEM electrolyzer; when the power supply is started, the water molecules inside the PEM electrolyzer begin to decompose under the action of the electric field, generating hydrogen and oxygen.
[0033] Step 204: Judge the magnitudes of the first pressure at the hydrogen measurement tube and the second pressure at the oxygen measurement tube.
[0034] During the normal hydrogen production process, due to the different production amounts of hydrogen and oxygen, there will be a certain pressure difference between the hydrogen measurement tube and the oxygen measurement tube. By judging the magnitudes of the first pressure at the hydrogen measurement tube and the second pressure at the oxygen measurement tube, it is possible to indirectly understand whether the electrolysis reaction is proceeding normally and whether there are abnormal situations in the system, such as problems like the positive and negative electrodes being connected reversely.
[0035] Step 205: If the first pressure is greater than the second pressure, close the second valve and the third valve through the control cabinet, and open the first valve, and the PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system enters the safe operation state.
[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, when it is judged that the first pressure is greater than the second pressure, it indicates that the system is in a normal operation state; by closing the second valve and the third valve through the control cabinet and opening the first valve, the water flow path and working mode of the system can be optimized, enabling the PEM anti-misconnection hydrogen production system to enter the safe operation state and ensuring the continuous and efficient generation of hydrogen and oxygen.
[0037] Step 206: If the first pressure is less than the second pressure, turn off the hydrogen production power supply through the control cabinet, the PEM electrolyzer stops producing hydrogen, and check whether the positive and negative electrodes of the PEM electrolyzer are connected reversely.
[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, if the first pressure is less than the second pressure, it means that the positive and negative electrodes of the PEM electrolyzer are connected reversely. At this time, by closing the hydrogen production power supply through the control cabinet, the electrolysis reaction can be stopped in time, avoiding further damage to the PEM electrolyzer caused by the reverse current due to the reverse connection, and protecting the safety of the equipment. Finally, the operator is notified to check whether the positive and negative electrodes of the PEM electrolyzer are connected reversely, so as to detect and correct the error in time, make the system resume normal operation, and ensure the smooth progress of the hydrogen production process.
