[0062] Advantages and effects of the present application:

[0063] 1. The present application provides a green hydrogen continuous drying system and its processing method. In the present application, the two drying towers of the hydrogen drying module can dry the raw hydrogen when they are sequentially connected in series. When one of the drying towers is independently adsorbed, the other drying tower is regenerated by the recycled regeneration gas dried by the regeneration gas drying module, and the raw hydrogen can also be dried. The drying capacity of the independent adsorption and series adsorption is 0-100% of the total design of the raw hydrogen, and the regeneration gas is an independent circulation loop, which is independent of the raw hydrogen gas volume. Therefore, the continuous operation can be realized when the raw gas load changes in the range of 0-100%, thereby realizing the requirement of new energy hydrogen drying processing load of 0-100%.

[0064] 2. In the present application, the two drying towers of the hydrogen drying module are sequentially connected in series before switching the drying towers. The second drying tower in series plays a redundant protection role for the first drying tower, avoiding the situation that the product gas dew point exceeds the threshold value in the traditional switching tower moment, and greatly improving the reliability and stability of the hydrogen purification system.

[0065] 3. Under the premise that the two drying towers in the hydrogen drying module can work in series, the drying outlet of each drying tower in the hydrogen drying module of the present application is provided with a dew point analysis port. The dew point value monitored by the analysis port is used as the switching standard of the working steps of the drying tower in the hydrogen drying module. The green hydrogen continuous drying system provided by the present application fully utilizes the drying tower working capacity surplus set according to the empirical value and theoretical value in the traditional hydrogen drying device, fully utilizes the adsorption performance of the drying module, and greatly improves the working efficiency of the hydrogen purification system.

[0066] 4. The present application consists of two modules, a hydrogen drying module and a regeneration gas drying module. The hydrogen drying module is used to adsorb the moisture in the raw hydrogen to obtain product hydrogen. The regeneration gas drying module is used to dry the regeneration gas recycled by the hydrogen drying module. In the present application, the regeneration gas is circulated in a closed system, and the regeneration gas is not consumed. When the regeneration gas drying module uses a drying device without secondary regeneration gas consumption to dry the regeneration gas, the secondary regeneration gas is not consumed, and the processing gas volume of the regeneration gas drying module is only 10-20% of the raw hydrogen gas volume. Compared with the traditional hydrogen drying device, the investment cost is greatly saved. When the regeneration gas drying module uses a drying device with regeneration gas consumption to dry the regeneration gas, the consumption of the secondary regeneration gas is 10-20% of the processing volume of the regeneration gas drying module, which is equivalent to 1-4% of the raw hydrogen processing volume, and the consumption of the regeneration gas is also greatly saved.

[0067] The system and the processing method thereof provided by the application have high operation flexibility, can perfectly match the high operation flexibility requirement of high-purity green hydrogen production, save the land occupation area, construction cost and operation cost of the system, and reduce the management difficulty and cost, and thus can be applied to industrial processing and is suitable for large-scale promotion.

[0098] The booster 16 is a booster fan or a compressor;

[0099] The regeneration gas drying module 2 is a temperature swing adsorption gas drying device or a pressure swing adsorption gas drying device.

[0100] The method for processing raw hydrogen gas using the green hydrogen continuous drying system is as follows: one of the plurality of drying towers in the hydrogen drying module 1 is started as a first drying tower to adsorb raw hydrogen gas entering the raw hydrogen gas inlet 21, and the adsorbed raw hydrogen gas is dried and flows out of the product gas outlet 22 as product gas;

[0101] When the first drying tower is in the adsorption process, the second drying tower enters the regeneration process; when the second drying tower is regenerated, the regeneration gas drying module 2 is started to dry the regeneration gas, and the regeneration gas flowing out of the regeneration gas inlet 24 flows through the heater 13, the second drying tower, the regeneration gas outlet 25, the cooler 14, the gas-liquid separator 15, the booster 16, the regeneration gas drying module 2, and then flows into the regeneration gas inlet 24 again to form a closed loop;

[0102] When the regeneration of the second drying tower is completed, the first drying tower and the second drying tower enter the serial adsorption process in turn to adsorb raw hydrogen gas, and the adsorbed raw hydrogen gas is dried and flows out of the product gas outlet 22 as product gas; the regeneration gas drying module 2 enters the standby process;

[0103] When the adsorbent in the first drying tower is saturated, the adsorption of raw hydrogen gas is stopped, and the first drying tower enters the regeneration process;

[0104] The above-mentioned switching of the drying towers in the hydrogen drying module 1 for adsorption, regeneration and serial adsorption is repeated, and the operation of the regeneration gas drying module 2 for work and standby is repeated, so that the raw hydrogen gas drying is continuously realized.

[0105] The present application comprises a hydrogen drying module and a regeneration gas drying module. The hydrogen drying module is used to adsorb moisture in raw hydrogen gas to obtain product hydrogen gas, and the regeneration gas drying module is used to dry the regeneration gas circulated in the hydrogen drying module. In the present application, the regeneration gas is circulated in a closed system, and the regeneration gas is not consumed. When the regeneration gas drying module uses a drying device without regeneration gas consumption to dry the regeneration gas, the secondary regeneration gas is not consumed, and the processing gas volume of the regeneration gas drying module is only 10-20% of the raw hydrogen gas volume, which greatly saves the investment cost compared with the traditional hydrogen drying device. When the regeneration gas drying module uses a drying device with regeneration gas consumption to dry the regeneration gas, the consumption of the secondary regeneration gas is 10-20% of the processing volume of the regeneration gas drying module, which is equivalent to 1-4% of the raw hydrogen gas processing volume, and also greatly saves the consumption of the regeneration gas.

[0106] The drying tower of the present application is provided with two drying towers, namely drying tower a11 and drying tower b12. In the hydrogen continuous drying process, the following steps are included:

[0107] Step 1: drying tower a11 regeneration, drying tower b12 adsorption, regeneration gas drying module 2 works, the end of step 1 is the end of drying tower a11 regeneration;

[0108] Step 2: drying tower b12 and drying tower a11 in turn series adsorption, regeneration gas drying module 2 waits, the end of step 2 is that the dew point monitored by the second analysis port 127 reaches the set threshold value;

[0109] Step 3: drying tower a11 adsorption, drying tower b12 regeneration, regeneration gas drying module 2 works, the end of step 3 is the end of drying tower b12 regeneration;

[0110] Step 4: drying tower a11 and drying tower b12 in turn series adsorption, regeneration gas drying module 2 waits, the end of step 4 is that the dew point monitored by the first analysis port 126 reaches the set threshold value;

[0111] Step 5: repeat steps 1 to 4 to realize continuous drying of hydrogen.

[0112] The application introduces a drying tower series working mode, which can fully utilize the adsorption capacity of the drying tower. Because two drying towers are connected in series, the two drying towers are connected in series in turn before switching the drying tower, and the second drying tower connected in series plays a redundant protection role for the first drying tower, avoiding the situation that the product gas dew point exceeds the threshold value at the moment of switching the drying tower in the traditional working mode, and greatly improving the reliability and stability of the hydrogen purification system working;

[0113] Under the premise that drying tower a11 and drying tower b12 can work in series, the application creatively uses the dew point value monitored by the analysis port as the switching standard of the drying tower working step in the hydrogen drying module 1. The green hydrogen continuous drying system provided by the application fully utilizes the drying tower working capacity surplus set according to the empirical value and the theoretical value in the traditional hydrogen drying device, fully utilizes the adsorption performance of the drying module, and greatly improves the working efficiency of the hydrogen purification system;

[0114] The regeneration gas of the application refers to the gas used for the regeneration of the hydrogen drying module 1; wherein the working of the regeneration gas drying module 2 refers to the adsorption drying of the regeneration gas by the regeneration gas drying module 2; the waiting of the regeneration gas drying module 2 refers to that the regeneration gas drying module 2 does not adsorb and dry the regeneration gas; in step 1, the raw hydrogen enters from the raw hydrogen inlet 21, flows through the drying tower b12 to obtain product gas, and the product gas flows out through the product gas outlet 22; the regeneration gas enters from the regeneration gas inlet 24, sequentially flows through the heater 13, the drying tower a11, the regeneration gas outlet 25, the cooler 14, the gas-liquid separator 15, the booster 16, and the regeneration gas drying module 2, and then flows into the regeneration gas inlet 24 again to form a closed loop; in this step, after the regeneration gas flows through the cooler 14, the water vapor in the regeneration gas is separated out due to the decrease of temperature, and the free water flows out from the free water outlet 26;

[0115] In step 2, the raw hydrogen enters from the raw hydrogen inlet 21, sequentially flows through the drying tower b12 and the drying tower a11 to obtain product gas, and the product gas flows out through the product gas outlet 22;

[0116] In step 3, the raw hydrogen enters from the raw hydrogen inlet 21, flows through the drying tower a11 to obtain product gas, and the product gas flows out through the product gas outlet 22; the regeneration gas enters from the regeneration gas inlet 24, sequentially flows through the heater 13, the drying tower b12, the regeneration gas outlet 25, the cooler 14, the gas-liquid separator 15, the booster 16, and the regeneration gas drying module 2, and then flows into the regeneration gas inlet 24 again to form a closed loop; in this step, after the regeneration gas flows through the cooler 14, the water vapor in the regeneration gas is separated out due to the decrease of temperature, and the free water flows out from the free water outlet 26;

[0117] In step 4, the raw hydrogen enters from the raw hydrogen inlet 21, sequentially flows through the drying tower a11 and the drying tower b12 to obtain product gas, and the product gas flows out through the product gas outlet 22; in the application, due to the series adsorption of the two drying towers, the dryness of the product gas is better than that of the traditional hydrogen drying device.

[0118] The adsorption of the application refers to the process that the water in the raw hydrogen is adsorbed by the adsorbent filled in the drying tower a11 or the drying tower b12 to obtain dry product hydrogen; after the adsorbent is saturated, it needs to be regenerated; during the regeneration, the water adsorbed by the adsorbent is desorbed; after the regeneration is completed, the adsorbent regains the adsorption capacity for water; the regeneration includes a heating regeneration stage and a cold blowing regeneration stage, and the heating regeneration stage is performed first and then the cold blowing regeneration stage is performed;

[0119] Heating regeneration stage:

[0120] The regeneration gas enters the heater 13 through the regeneration gas inlet 24, is heated to 120-280 DEG C, and then enters the drying tower a11 or the drying tower b12 in the heating regeneration process to desorb the moisture adsorbed by the adsorbent in the corresponding drying tower, and the high-temperature regeneration gas is discharged from the drying tower a11 or the drying tower b12 and then flows out from the regeneration gas outlet 25;

[0121] The end of the heating regeneration is marked by the temperature of the high-temperature regeneration gas flowing out from the regeneration gas outlet 25 reaching 120-280 DEG C;

[0122] Cold-blowing regeneration stage:

[0123] The regeneration gas enters the heater 13 through the regeneration gas inlet 24, and then enters the drying tower a11 or the drying tower b12 in the cold-blowing regeneration process, and the adsorbent in the drying tower a11 or the drying tower b12 is blown cold at this time, and the heater 13 does not heat, and the heat of the adsorbent in the drying tower a11 or the drying tower b12 is taken away by the regeneration gas, and the high-temperature regeneration gas is discharged from the drying tower a11 or the drying tower b12 and then flows out from the regeneration gas outlet 25;

[0124] The end of the cold-blowing regeneration is marked by the temperature of the high-temperature regeneration gas flowing out from the regeneration gas outlet 25 reaching 4-45 DEG C.

[0125] In steps 2 and 4 of the application, the dew point threshold values of the drying tower a1 and the drying tower b2 are the same, and are-40 DEG C to-80 DEG C.

[0126] The method for adsorbing and drying the regeneration gas in the regeneration gas drying module 2 includes a gas drying method with regeneration gas loss and a gas drying method without regeneration gas loss; the secondary regeneration gas is used for regeneration in the regeneration gas drying module 2; and the secondary regeneration gas is the gas used for regeneration of the drying tower in the regeneration gas drying module 2.

[0127] When the gas drying method with regeneration gas loss is used: the regeneration gas drying and the regeneration of the drying tower in the regeneration gas drying module 2 are simultaneously performed; the total consumption amount of the secondary regeneration gas in the regeneration gas drying module 2 is 1-4% of the total amount of the raw hydrogen treated in the same period, and the secondary regeneration gas and the regeneration gas are the same gas.

[0128] When the gas drying method without regeneration gas loss is used: the regeneration gas drying and the regeneration of the drying tower in the regeneration gas drying module 2 must be simultaneously performed; the secondary regeneration gas in the regeneration gas drying module 2 has no consumption, and the secondary regeneration gas and the regeneration gas must be the same gas, and the application reduces the consumption of the regeneration gas by recycling the regeneration gas.
