Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solid hydrogen storage alloy hydrogen absorption / desorption expansion performance testing, and in particular to a solid hydrogen storage alloy cyclic hydrogen charging and desorption expansion performance testing system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid growth of the global population and economy, deep decarbonization has become a core concern. As a secondary renewable energy source, hydrogen offers numerous advantages, including abundant resources, widespread availability, clean and pollution-free operation, diverse utilization, and excellent safety as an energy storage medium. It is a key option for achieving energy transition and carbon neutrality. Furthermore, hydrogen can be integrated with a variety of renewable energy systems, including wind and solar power. Therefore, hydrogen is considered the most promising clean energy source of the 21st century.

[0003] Hydrogen storage technology plays a crucial role in the development of hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen storage primarily includes the following methods: compressed gaseous hydrogen storage, underground hydrogen storage, liquid hydrogen storage, cryogenic compressed hydrogen storage, storage in liquid organic hydrogen carriers, and solid alloy hydrogen storage. Compared to other hydrogen storage methods, solid alloy hydrogen storage offers numerous advantages, including high volumetric hydrogen storage efficiency, enhanced safety, low operating pressure, and low cost, making it one of the most commercially viable storage methods.

[0004] When designing a solid-state alloy hydrogen storage tank, factors such as the tank material, geometry, and design pressure must be considered. Solid-state hydrogen storage alloys experience a significant expansion effect during hydrogen charging, and this expansion pressure can even significantly exceed the actual hydrogen storage pressure. Ignoring the expansion pressure of solid-state hydrogen storage alloys can easily lead to plastic deformation or rupture of the tank, especially in large-diameter tanks. The expansion effect of solid-state hydrogen storage alloys is related to the particle size of the alloy powder within the tank, the flexible compensation space, and the number of hydrogen charging and decharging cycles. Currently, there is a lack of testing equipment, methods, and standards for the expansion stress of solid-state hydrogen storage alloys during cyclic hydrogen absorption and desorption. This results in a lack of precise basis for determining the design pressure, which can easily lead to dangerous design results and prevent the development of a reasonable and standardized design approach.

[0005] In summary, inventing a device and method for testing the expansion stress of solid-state hydrogen storage alloys during cyclic absorption and desorption of hydrogen under different flexible compensation space conditions has become a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the design of solid-state alloy hydrogen storage tanks, especially large-diameter solid-state alloy hydrogen storage tanks.

[0096] Example 9

[0097] Based on any one of Examples 5 to 8, in this embodiment, the flexible compensation space adjustment device 6 includes an upper punch support plate 63 and two optical axes 65, and the two optical axes 65 vertically pass through the two sides of the upper end cover 431 respectively, and can be moved up and down and positioned respectively; the upper punch support plate 63 is horizontally installed at the upper ends of the two optical axes 65; the upper punch 51 passes through the upper punch support plate 63.

[0098] This solution has a simple structure and a reasonable design. The upper punch support plate 63 can support the upper punch 51. At the same time, the flexible compensation space adjustment device 6 adjusts the flexible compensation space required during the test. The flexible compensation space refers to the cavity thickness reserved when the solid alloy reacts with hydrogen.

[0099] Example 10

[0100] On the basis of Example 9, in this embodiment, the two optical axes 65 are respectively clamped with quick-mount and detachable fixing rings 62, and the two quick-mount and detachable fixing rings 62 are respectively located between the upper end cover 431 and the upper die support plate 63; the upper ends of the two optical axes 65 are respectively fixed with a pair of fixing rings 61, and each pair of fixing rings 61 is respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the upper die support plate 63.

Two optical axes 65 can be positioned using two quick-install and detachable fixing rings 62, and the upper punch support plate 63 can be fixed using two pairs of fixing rings 61 to prevent the upper punch support plate 63 from sliding down.

[0102] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are a total of four fixing rings 61, which pass through the optical axis 65 and are placed on the upper and lower sides of the upper die support plate 63 respectively, and are fastened by hexagon socket bolts to act as stops to prevent the upper die support plate 63 from sliding down; there are a total of two quick-install and detachable fixing rings 62, which pass through the optical axis 65 and are placed on both sides of the plane of the upper end cover 431, and are fastened by quick snaps to act as stops, and can act as a positioning mechanism when adjusting the flexible compensation space to prevent the optical axis 65 from sliding down.

[0103] In addition, through holes are opened in the middle and on both sides of the upper punch support plate 63 to facilitate the assembly of the upper punch 51 and the optical axis 65. There are a total of two linear bearings 64, which are arranged in the through holes on both sides of the upper end cover 431. They can provide precise guidance for the up and down movement of the optical axis 65. During actual movement, the ball bearings can reduce the friction coefficient and improve movement efficiency. There are a total of two optical axes, which pass through the through holes on both sides of the upper punch support plate 63 and the upper end cover 431.

The diameter of the through holes on both sides of the upper punch support plate 63 is 1mm larger than the diameter of the optical axis 65; the diameter of the linear bearing 64 is 0.2mm smaller than the diameter of the through holes on both sides of the upper end cover 431.

[0104] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0105] Adjust and calibrate the expansion stress monitoring device 7, weigh a certain mass of solid alloy and put it into the hydrogen storage cavity 521 for compression, and use the upper punch 51 to compact the solid alloy; place the assembled water jacket 43, hydrogen storage alloy device 5 and flexible compensation space adjustment device 6 on the base 13 of the fully automatic pressure rigid frame 1, and fix it with the lower punch 53 to ensure that it will not tilt; use the flexible compensation space adjustment device 6 to adjust the flexible compensation space we need, and the solid alloy quality and hydrogen filling pressure can be controlled to a certain extent during actual operation. The distance between the upper punch support plate 63 and the upper end cover 431 can be measured with a vernier caliper to read the thickness of the flexible compensation space; after the thickness of the flexible compensation space is adjusted, manually adjust the lower end face of the movable crossbeam 12 to contact with the die head 511 of the upper punch 51, and the anti-rotation screw rod 21 contacts the concave and convex spherical support element 15 on the upper end face of the movable crossbeam 12 to ensure that the cylindrical surface at the bottom end of the anti-rotation screw rod 21 is perfectly fitted with the upper end face of the concave and convex spherical support element 15; punch The cold / hot circulation mechanism 41 is turned on, and cold / hot water flows in from the water inlet 4322 of the jacket body 432 and flows out from the water outlet 4323, ensuring sufficient circulation of cold / hot water. At the same time, the small hydrogen source test device 31 relies on the hydrogen charging and discharging control system 8 to evacuate the hydrogen storage cavity 521; after 10 minutes, the switch valve of the small hydrogen source test device 31 is opened, and hydrogen flows from the switch valve through the hydrogen charging port connector 533, the hydrogen flow channel 534 and the hydrogen hole 535 to fully react with the solid alloy, meeting the hydrogen storage alloy's hydrogen desorption and heat absorption requirements; the expansion stress monitoring device 7 can monitor the magnitude of the expansion stress online. Since the solid alloy absorbs and desorbs hydrogen is a continuous process, the expansion stress of the solid alloy continues to increase during the hydrogen absorption process and continues to decrease after the hydrogen is discharged. The stress change value can be transmitted to the digital display control instrument 72 through the pressure sensor 71. The operator can record and analyze the data to provide data support for the tank design pressure, the optimized design of the flexible compensation space and the solid alloy material performance.

[0106] In the present invention, the solid hydrogen storage alloy needs to go through a cold / hot cycle process to absorb and release hydrogen cyclically to achieve sufficient absorption and efficient release of hydrogen. This cycle process is mainly completed by the cold / hot cycle control system 9 of the cold / hot cycle device 41.

[0107] The cooling / heating cycle control system primarily consists of a cooling control system 91 and a heating control system 92. The cooling control system 91 primarily includes an evaporator 911, a compressor 912, a condenser 913, a thermal expansion valve 914, and a temperature control switch 915. First, low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows from the evaporator 911 into the compressor 912, which compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas without changing its state. The refrigerant gas then flows from the compressor 912 into the condenser 913. The condenser 913 dissipates heat, liquefying the high-temperature, high-pressure gas into a liquid that flows to the thermal expansion valve 914. The thermal expansion valve 914 reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, turning it into a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid that flows to the evaporator 911. The refrigerant in the evaporator 911 absorbs heat and vaporizes into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas, completing the cycle. The high-temperature cooling water dissipates heat in the evaporator, cooling it. The cooled cooling water then enters the water tank for mixing to ensure stable temperature. The circulating pump 95 then delivers the cooling water to the water jacket 43. Thermostatic switch 915 monitors the cooling water temperature and automatically disconnects if it exceeds the specified temperature, providing protection. A transfer switch 93 switches between hot and cold water circulation modes, each operating independently and without interfering with the other. A throttle valve 94 controls the water flow rate, ensuring stable system operation. A circulating pump 95 ensures the continuous flow of hot and cold water throughout the system, ensuring even circulation among all components. The system's primary function is to prepare and circulate cooling water, removing the heat generated by the reaction between the solid hydrogen storage alloy and hydrogen, ensuring a full reaction.

[0108] Furthermore, heating control system 92 primarily comprises heater 921 and temperature control switch 2 922. Cooling water is delivered to heater 921 via circulation pump 95, where it is heated to a preset temperature. Temperature control switch 2 922 monitors the temperature of the hot water and automatically disconnects if it exceeds the specified temperature, providing protection. The transfer switch 93, throttle valve 94, and circulation pump 95 all function identically to those described for cooling control system 91. This system primarily prepares and circulates hot water, enabling efficient hydrogen release from the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy.

[0109] The small hydrogen source test device 31 relies on the hydrogen charging and discharging control system 8 to vacuum the hydrogen storage cavity 521; after 10 minutes, the switch valve of the small hydrogen source test device 31 is opened, and hydrogen flows from the switch valve through the hydrogen charging port connector 533, the hydrogen flow channel 534 and the hydrogen hole 535 to react with the solid alloy.

[0110] The hydrogen charging and discharging control system 8 primarily consists of a vacuum system 81 and a hydrogen charging system 82. Vacuum system 81 primarily includes an HV105 on / off valve 811, a filter 1 812, a PV106 on / off valve 813, a hydrogen source discharge pressure gauge 1 814, an HV109 on / off valve 815, and a vacuum pump 816. Vacuum pump 816 extracts gas from the hydrogen storage alloy device 5; filter 1 812 removes particulate matter and other impurities during the extraction process. This system primarily maintains a stable vacuum within the hydrogen storage cavity.

[0111] The hydrogen charging system 82 primarily includes an HV104 on / off valve 821, a flow limiting valve 822, a hydrogen source pressure regulating valve 823, a PV103 on / off valve 824, an HV101 on / off valve 825, a hydrogen source discharge pressure gauge 826, and a filter 827. Filter 827 removes impurities and moisture from the hydrogen, ensuring high hydrogen purity. The hydrogen source pressure regulating valve 823 adjusts the output hydrogen pressure as needed, maintaining it at a stable level. The flow limiting valve 822 limits the maximum flow rate of hydrogen, preventing dangerous situations caused by excessive flow. The hydrogen source discharge pressure gauge monitors the pressure, the operating status of the on / off valves, and the pump in real time. This system primarily provides a stable hydrogen output to the hydrogen storage alloy device 5, ensuring the proper conduct of the test. The vacuum system 81 is evacuated in a manner that the PV106 switch valve 813 is opened first, and then the HV109 switch valve 815 is opened, and the vacuuming is maintained for 10 minutes. After completion, the HV109 switch valve 815 is closed first, and then the PV106 switch valve 813 is closed. The hydrogen charging system 82 is charged with hydrogen in a manner that the PV103 switch valve 824 is opened first, and then the HV101 switch valve 825 is opened, until the solid alloy reacts fully with the hydrogen and the expansion stress value remains stable, and then the PV103 switch valve 824 is closed first, and then the HV101 switch valve 825 is closed.

[0112] It should be noted that all electronic components involved in the present invention adopt existing technologies, and the above components are electrically connected to the controller, and the control circuits between the controller and the components are existing technologies.
