AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When faced with intake pressure fluctuations, especially when the hydrogen pressure in the tube bundle trailer is lower than the pressure of the hydrogen storage bottle group, traditional hydrogen compressors suffer energy loss by reducing pressure and then compressing it, making it impossible to effectively utilize the high-pressure potential energy and requiring additional energy consumption.

One-stage, two-stage, or three-stage compression is automatically selected according to the inlet pressure of the compressor unit. Hydrogen enters the corresponding compressor under the control of the variable-stage air duct group, realizing dynamic scheduling and efficient utilization of high-pressure potential energy.

Benefits of technology

Effectively utilizing the pressure potential energy of the high-pressure hydrogen in the tube bundle trailer avoids the energy fault loss in traditional solutions, achieves operation in the minimum theoretical compression power consumption range, and expands the pressure application range for efficient unloading.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrogen compression, in particular to a hydrogen variable-stage compression reciprocating piston compressor unit. BACKGROUND

[0002] The reciprocating piston compressor is the main power equipment of the hydrogen compressor, and can be applied in storage, transportation and filling. In the hydrogen pipe bundle trailer transportation link, the high-pressure gas in the pipe bundle trailer needs to be transferred to the hydrogen storage bottle group in the hydrogen filling station after the pipe bundle trailer arrives at the hydrogen filling station. The reciprocating piston compressor can be used to realize this function in the loading and unloading process of hydrogen.

[0003] When the compressor unit faces a large fluctuation in the inlet pressure, the process gas is compressed to the required pressure. The usual method is to install a pressure reducing device (pressure reducing valve, etc.) at the process gas inlet, and then the process gas is compressed by the compressor to the required pressure. The traditional technical solution for the hydrogen pipe bundle trailer unloading (the gas in the trailer is unloaded to the storage bottle in the hydrogen filling station) is generally divided into the following two cases:

[0004] Case 1: When the hydrogen pressure in the pipe bundle trailer is higher than the pressure of the hydrogen storage bottle group (usually the pressure in the pipe bundle trailer is about 14MPa(G) to 20MPa(G)): The direct charging mode can be used, and the AP control module is used. At this time, the compressor is not started, and the hydrogen is directly transferred from the pipe bundle trailer to the hydrogen storage bottle group. The pressure potential energy of the high-pressure hydrogen is fully utilized to achieve energy saving benefits.

[0005] Case 2: When the hydrogen pressure in the pipe bundle trailer is lower than the pressure of the hydrogen storage bottle group (usually the pressure in the pipe bundle trailer is less than about 14MPa(G)): When the pressure in the pipe bundle trailer is close to the pressure in the hydrogen storage bottle group, the direct charging efficiency is reduced due to the small pressure difference. At this time, the direct charging mode is switched to the compressor compression mode. The pressure reducing valve is arranged at the outlet of the trailer to reduce the pressure to a set low pressure value, which is usually about 1MPa(G). The compressor is started, and the low-pressure gas after pressure reduction is compressed by multiple stages and delivered to the high-pressure hydrogen storage bottle group in the hydrogen filling station.

[0006] In the second case, when the hydrogen pressure in the tube bundle trailer is lower than the hydrogen cylinder group pressure, the compressor group usually adopts the mode of decompression and compression, that is, hydrogen is decompressed by a decompression valve and then compressed by multiple stages to reach the required high pressure. The decompression process is essentially irreversible throttling expansion, and the pressure potential energy of the high-pressure gas is not effectively captured and utilized, but is irreversibly converted into useless heat energy dissipation. Subsequently, the compressor group needs to consume a large amount of external energy to re-compress the gas that has been reduced to low pressure to the target high pressure. This "decompression and pressurization" mode forms double energy loss, that is, the high-pressure potential energy that can be utilized is actively discarded, and the high energy consumption required for full pressure differential compression is additionally invested. That is, the fixed compression ratio structure of the traditional compressor is difficult to dynamically respond to the continuously decreasing trailer pressure, and the compressor group lacks a transition working mode between the high-pressure stage and the low-pressure stage. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a hydrogen variable-stage compression reciprocating piston compressor unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Embodiment 1, by Figures 1 to 5The present application comprises a rack 1, a first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, a second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3, a third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4, and a variable-stage air guide pipe group 7 installed on the cylinder intake end of the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2. A second-stage air inlet pipe 6 is installed between the gas tank outlet end of the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2 and the cylinder intake end of the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3. A first-stage air inlet pipe 5 is installed between the gas tank outlet end of the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3 and the cylinder intake end of the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4. The second-stage air inlet pipe 6 and the first-stage air inlet pipe 5 are in communication with the variable-stage air guide pipe group 7. At least three gear-type axial flow blower assemblies 9 are installed inside the rack 1 and opposite the compressor gas tank. A chain-type driving assembly 10 is installed inside the rack 1 to drive the multiple gear-type axial flow blower assemblies 9 to work synchronously. A driven-type impeller radial blower assembly 11 is installed at the bottom of the rack 1 and power-connected with one of the gear-type axial flow blower assemblies 9. The driven-type impeller radial blower assembly 11 is used to form a wind curtain below the compressor gas tank. A control box 8 is installed on one side of the back of the rack 1. The output end of the control box 8 is electrically connected with the input end of the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3, the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4, the variable-stage air guide pipe group 7, and the chain-type driving assembly 10.

[0037] A digital pressure gauge is installed at the top end of the gas tank of the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3, and the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4. The output end of the digital pressure gauge is electrically connected with the input end of the control box 8. A first on-off valve is installed at the exhaust port of the gas tank of the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3, and the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4. A second on-off valve is installed at the cylinder intake port of the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3, and the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4. The first on-off valve and the second on-off valve are used to control the opening and closing of the first-stage air inlet pipe 5 and the second-stage air inlet pipe 6.

[0038] When the hydrogen pressure in the tube bundle trailer is higher than the pressure of the hydrogen storage bottle group, which is usually about 14 MPa (G) to 20 MPa (G), the direct charging mode can be used. The control box 8 is used to control the process. At this time, all the compressors are not started, and the hydrogen is directly introduced from the tube bundle trailer into the hydrogen storage bottle group through the exhaust end of the variable-stage air guide pipe group 7. The pressure potential energy of the high-pressure hydrogen is fully utilized to achieve energy-saving benefits.

[0039] When the process gas inlet pressure range is wider, more compressor variable stage compression can be used, and when the process gas inlet pressure range is narrower, less compressor variable stage compression can be used, not limited to one-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, two-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3, and three-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4. At this time, the level valve connected with the compressor in the variable stage guide pipe group 7 also needs to be increased or decreased accordingly.

[0040] For example, it can be four-stage compression, changed to three-stage compression, changed to two-stage compression, and changed to one-stage compression. The compression variable stage is reversible. It can also be five-stage compression, changed to four-stage compression, changed to three-stage compression, changed to two-stage compression, and changed to one-stage compression. The compression variable stage is reversible. It can also be six-stage compression, changed to five-stage compression, changed to four-stage compression, changed to three-stage compression, changed to two-stage compression, and changed to one-stage compression. The compression variable stage is reversible. At the same time, the compressed process gas in the scheme can be any single component gas or mixed gas, not limited to hydrogen.

[0041] Example two, based on example one, Figure 6 and Figure 7 is given. The variable stage guide pipe group 7 includes an intake valve 703 installed on the intake end of the one-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, a cross four-way pipe 701 installed at the end of the intake valve 703 away from the one-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, and a three-stage control valve 704 installed at the left end inlet of the cross four-way pipe 701 through a pipeline. The lower end outlet of the cross four-way pipe 701 is provided with an exhaust valve 702, and the upper end outlet of the cross four-way pipe 701 is provided with an F-shaped shunt pipe 705. The two ends of the F-shaped shunt pipe 705 bifurcate and are respectively provided with a one-stage control valve 706 and a two-stage control valve 708. The three-stage control valve 704, the intake valve 703, the one-stage control valve 706, and the two-stage control valve 708 can all be electromagnetic valves. At this time, the input ends of each electromagnetic valve are electrically connected with the output end of the control box 8.

[0042] The one-stage control valve 706 is provided with a communication pipe one 707 connected with the one-stage intake pipe 5 at the end away from the F-shaped shunt pipe 705. The two-stage control valve 708 is provided with a communication pipe two 709 connected with the two-stage intake pipe 6 at the end away from the one-stage intake pipe 5.

[0043] If the hydrogen in the tube bundle trailer is in a low pressure state and needs full stage compression, the staff closes the exhaust valve 702, the second stage control valve 708, the first stage control valve 706, and opens the inlet valve 703, at this time the hydrogen enters the first reciprocating piston compressor 2 from the inlet valve 703, the hydrogen compressed by the first reciprocating piston compressor 2 enters the second reciprocating piston compressor 3 through the gas storage tank, the gas storage tank switch valve and the second inlet pipe 6, and is compressed again by the second reciprocating piston compressor 3 and enters the third reciprocating piston compressor 4 through the first inlet pipe 5, and the hydrogen is compressed again by the third reciprocating piston compressor 4 and finally sent into the hydrogen storage bottle group;

[0044] The hydrogen in the tube bundle trailer enters the cross four-way pipe 701 through the third stage control valve 704, if the hydrogen pressure in the tube bundle trailer is higher than the pressure of the hydrogen storage bottle group, the first stage control valve 706, the second stage control valve 708 and the inlet valve 703 are all in the normally closed state under the control of the control box 8, and then this part of hydrogen is directly discharged into the hydrogen storage bottle group through the exhaust valve 702;

[0045] The gas flow channel can be controlled by multiple groups of valves, and the control box 8 selects a specific valve combination to make the hydrogen enter, so that the variable stage gas guide pipe group can skip the low pressure compressor section, such as directly cutting into the second or third stage, so that the gas inherits the original pressure potential as the compression starting point, and the high pressure gas only needs to experience the compression of the insufficient pressure section, avoiding the energy fault of “high pressure gas being reduced to low pressure and then being compressed by full pressure difference” in the traditional scheme.

[0046] In example three, based on example two, Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 are given, the chain drive assembly 10 includes a reduction motor 1001 mounted on one side of the back of the rack 1 and a chain wheel constant velocity transmission structure 1002 mounted at the end of the drive shaft of the reduction motor 1001 for driving each gear type axial flow blowing assembly 9 to work synchronously, the input end of the reduction motor 1001 is electrically connected with the output end of the control box 8, when cooling the compressor gas tank, the reduction motor 1001 is started by the control box 8, and the reduction motor 1001 synchronously delivers rotary power to the three gear type axial flow blowing assemblies 9 through the chain wheel constant velocity transmission structure 1002, and then the multiple gear type axial flow blowing assemblies 9 work synchronously;

[0048] The pinion shaft 903 in the gear type axial flow blower assembly 9 receives the rotary power of the reduction motor 1001 through the chain wheel constant speed transmission structure 1002, and then the pinion shaft 903 drives the fan blade 907 to rotate through the gear shaft 905, so that the fan blade 907 generates axial airflow, and the part of the axial airflow is guided by the cylinder type air baffle 906 and continuously blows to the gas tank of the compressor, so as to rapidly export the compression heat through the full coverage forced convection heat dissipation on the surface of the gas tank of the compressor.

[0051] In use, if the hydrogen pressure in the tube bundle trailer is lower than the pressure of the hydrogen storage bottle group, usually the pressure of the tube bundle trailer is about 14 MPa (G), the worker completes the physical connection of the hydrogen discharge port of the hydrogen tube bundle trailer and the gas inlet end of the variable-stage gas guide pipe group 7, and the gas outlet end of the three-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4 is connected with the gas inlet end of the hydrogen storage bottle group of the hydrogenation station, and the sealing performance is confirmed to meet the standard; the worker controls each stage valve in the variable-stage gas guide pipe group 7 to reset to the initial closed state through the control box 8, and activates the chain drive assembly 10 to work, the chain drive assembly 10 drives the three gear type axial flow blowing assemblies 9 to blow and ventilate the gas storage tanks of the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3 and the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4, so as to cool down, and the driven type impeller radial blowing assembly 11 also receives the rotary power from the chain drive assembly 10 to form a continuous air curtain below the gas storage tanks of the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3 and the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4 again; the control box 8 monitors and receives the outlet pressure of the hydrogen tube bundle trailer and the pressure of the hydrogen storage bottle group in real time, when the pressure of the hydrogen tube bundle trailer is lower than the pressure of the hydrogen storage bottle group, if the residual pressure is still significantly higher than the basic inlet pressure of the compressor, the compressor group is switched from the direct charging mode to the compressor compression mode, in this process, the control box 8 calculates the optimal compression path based on the real-time pressure difference, automatically selects the first-stage, second-stage or third-stage compression mode, and the variable-stage gas guide pipe group 7 dynamically opens the specific valve combination according to the instruction of the control box 8, for example, when a medium-high pressure difference is detected, the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3 and the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4 are directly started to work; hydrogen enters the preset compression stage under the accurate flow guide of the variable-stage gas guide pipe group 7: for medium-high pressure hydrogen, the hydrogen is directly injected into the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3 through the second-stage gas inlet pipe 6 and the variable-stage gas guide pipe group 7, the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3 serves as the starting compression stage, the piston inherits the pressure potential as the initial compression work when ascending, only necessary pressurization is applied to the gas to the target pressure, if low-pressure hydrogen needs three-stage compression, the hydrogen is directly sent into the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2 through the variable-stage gas guide pipe group 7, the first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2 serves as the starting compression stage, and the hydrogen is sent into the hydrogen storage bottle group of the hydrogenation station after being compressed by the second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3 and the third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4, in the compression process, each gear type axial flow blowing assembly 9 forcibly cools the high-temperature gas storage tank of the compressor, and the driven type impeller radial blowing assembly 11 enhances the inter-stage cooling, further inhibiting the temperature rise of the hydrogen; as the pressure of the trailer continues to decrease, the control box 8 periodically rechecks the pressure difference, when the pressure difference is reduced to the next threshold value, such as from a medium-high pressure difference to a medium-low pressure difference, the variable-stage gas guide pipe group 7 and the corresponding first-stage reciprocating piston compressor 2, second-stage reciprocating piston compressor 3 and third-stage reciprocating piston compressor 4 are automatically controlled and the compression stage number is switched, and the hydrogen is transferred to a lower compression stage for pressurization;The compressed high-pressure hydrogen gas is directly sent to the hydrogen storage bottle group through the exhaust end of the final third reciprocating piston compressor 4. When the trailer pressure and the hydrogen storage bottle group pressure are balanced, the control box 8 closes all the valves, the stop command triggers the chain drive assembly 10 to run for a delay time to cool the compressor gas tank, the staff disconnects the pipeline connection between the compressor group and the hydrogen pipe bundle trailer, and all the valves of the variable-stage gas guide pipe group 7 are reset in standby mode.
