Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrogen production and hydrogenation station construction, in particular to a hydrogen production and hydrogenation station cooling system based on multi-cold-source coupling and a control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the operation of the hydrogen production and hydrogenation station, the hydrogen production device, the compressor and the hydrogenation machine will generate a large amount of heat. In order to ensure the safe operation of the equipment, a cooling system needs to be provided for the equipment to reduce the temperature during the operation of the above-mentioned equipment. The current hydrogen production and hydrogenation station cooling system generally adopts a split architecture design, which specifically shows that:

[0003] 1. Discrete configuration of cold sources: the hydrogen production unit (including natural gas reforming hydrogen production device and water electrolysis hydrogen production device) uses a cooling tower as a cold source, and the hydrogen compressor set and the hydrogenation machine heat exchanger are independently configured with a water chiller system.

[0004] 2. Isolation of equipment cold sources: according to the principle of "one machine one cold source", a water chiller is separately configured for each compressor set and hydrogenation machine heat exchanger to form multiple independently operated cooling subsystems.

[0005] 3. Lack of system coordination: there is no load allocation mechanism between the cold source systems, and the cold energy cannot be complemented and the standby redundancy cannot be realized.

[0006] 4. Bottlenecks of energy efficiency and reliability: the low running load rate of the refrigeration equipment leads to a decrease in overall energy efficiency, and the single fault point design affects the continuous operation reliability of the system.

[0007] Due to the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the following problems often occur in the prior art:

[0008] 1. In the case of low ambient temperature, the cooling tower return water temperature is low, and the cold energy in the air cannot be utilized to the maximum extent.

[0009] 2. In the case of low ambient temperature, the water chiller operates at low load for a long time, which is low in efficiency.

[0010] 3. The "one machine one cold source" setting of the hydrogen compressor set and the hydrogenation machine heat exchanger, if the corresponding water chiller equipment fails, there is no effective standby system, which leads to equipment downtime and affects the operation of the hydrogen production and hydrogenation station.

[0011] Therefore, how to make the hydrogen production and hydrogenation integrated station cooling system more efficient and stable has become a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0124] Then assign the same number to the chiller 4 corresponding to the compressor 3, and add 1 to the largest number of the chiller 4 as the number of the chiller 4 corresponding to the heat exchanger 71.

[0125] When the cooling tower 11 is in the startup state, each compressor 3 is regulated according to the following steps:

[0126] Step B1, starting the first compressor 3;

[0127] Step B2: determine whether the cooling tower 11 is in working condition;

[0145] Step B10, start all the water chillers 4 in order from small to large according to the number, if the start is successful, open the corresponding water chiller inlet valve KV1, KV3, KV5 and water chiller outlet valve KV2, KV4, KV6, and execute step B9;

[0146] If all the water chillers 4 fail to start, an alarm of water chiller 4 failure is sent to the user, the first compressor 3 is closed at the same time, and all the processes are ended;

[0161] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cooling tower 11 mainly serves as a cold source of the hydrogen production device. When the hydrogen production device is started, the cooling tower 11 is started, all cooling water total valves KV13, KV14, KV15 and KV16 are opened, the central controller monitors the values of the inlet water total pipe temperature transmitter TT1 and the outlet water total pipe temperature transmitter TT2 in real time, controls the opening degree of the total pipe linkage valve TCV7 through the outlet water total pipe temperature transmitter TT2, controls the amount of cooling water entering the hydrogen production device, and meets the cooling demand of the hydrogen production device; at the same time, the running state of the cooling tower 11 is adjusted to reduce energy consumption.

[0162] When the first compressor 3 needs to be started, the central controller first determines whether the cooling tower 11 is running. If the cooling tower 11 is running, the central controller determines whether the excess cold energy of the cooling tower 11 can meet the cooling demand of the first compressor 3 according to the values of the inlet water total pipe temperature transmitter TT1 and the outlet water total pipe temperature transmitter TT2. If yes, the total pipe linkage valve TCV7 is opened, and the opening degree of the cooling water inlet linkage valve TCV1 of the first compressor 3 is controlled through the cooling water outlet temperature transmitter TT6 of the first compressor 3 to control the amount of cooling water entering the first compressor 3, so as to meet the cooling demand of the first compressor 3.

[0163] If the excess cold energy of the cooling tower 11 cannot meet the cooling demand of the compressor, it is further determined whether the cooling water unit 4 is running. At the same time, the central controller determines whether the excess cold energy of the running cooling water unit 4 can meet the cooling demand of the first compressor 3 according to the value of the outlet water bypass temperature transmitter TT5. If the above conditions are met, the bypass outlet water control valve KV8 of the first compressor 3 is opened, and the opening degree of the bypass inlet water linkage valve TCV2 of the first compressor 3 is adjusted through the cooling water outlet temperature transmitter TT6 of the first compressor 3 to control the amount of cooling water entering the first compressor 3, so as to meet the cooling demand of the first compressor 3.

[0164] If the above conditions are not met, the first cooling water unit 4 is started, the cooling water unit inlet valve KV1 and the cooling water unit outlet valve KV2 of the first cooling water unit 4 are opened, and the bypass outlet water control valve KV8 of the first compressor 3 is opened. At the same time, the opening degree of the bypass inlet water linkage valve TCV2 of the first compressor 3 is adjusted through the cooling water outlet temperature transmitter TT6 of the first compressor 3 to control the amount of cooling water entering the first compressor 3, so as to meet the cooling demand of the first compressor 3.

[0165] If the first water chiller 4 fails, the second water chiller 4 is opened, the water chiller inlet valve KV3, the water chiller outlet valve KV4 of the second water chiller 4 and the bypass outlet control valve KV8 of the first compressor 3 are opened, and the opening degree of the bypass inlet linkage valve TCV2 of the first compressor 3 is regulated by the cooling water outlet temperature transmitter TT6 of the first compressor 3 to control the amount of cooling water entering the first compressor 3 to meet the cooling demand of the first compressor 3; if the second water chiller 4 fails, the third water chiller 4 is opened, the water chiller inlet valve KV5, the water chiller outlet valve KV6 of the third water chiller 4 and the bypass outlet control valve KV8 of the first compressor 3 are opened, and the opening degree of the bypass inlet linkage valve TCV2 of the first compressor 3 is regulated by the cooling water outlet temperature transmitter TT6 of the first compressor 3 to control the amount of cooling water entering the first compressor 3 to meet the cooling demand of the first compressor 3.
