TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] As a clean and efficient secondary energy, the safety of hydrogen storage and transportation equipment is the cornerstone of the industry development. The rupture disc is the core safety relief accessory of hydrogen-containing equipment such as hydrogen storage pressure vessels and pipelines, and is the last safety barrier to prevent equipment from bursting due to overpressure. The accurate explosion and reliable sealing of the rupture disc under the preset pressure directly determine the safety level of the entire hydrogen-containing system. Therefore, it is of great significance to accurately test and evaluate the explosion performance of the hydrogen-containing rupture disc under actual harsh working conditions.
[0003] However, hydrogen storage equipment under a hydrogen environment often faces complex and harsh working conditions. First, hydrogen has the characteristics of small molecules, strong permeability, flammability and explosiveness, and can easily cause hydrogen embrittlement effect of metal materials, leading to deterioration of the mechanical properties of the rupture disc. Second, the actual operation conditions of hydrogen-containing equipment are complex, covering ultra-high pressure and wide temperature range changes. The ultra-high pressure changes, such as 70 MPa or more to 200 MPa, and the wide temperature range changes, such as -40℃ to 120℃.
[0004] In the face of the above complex and harsh working conditions under a hydrogen environment, the existing rupture disc test technology is mainly aimed at inert media such as air and nitrogen, lacks essential safety protection design for hydrogen, and does not integrate high-precision temperature control and ultra-high pressure hydrogen generation capability, making it impossible to simulate real hydrogen, ultra-high pressure, and variable temperature combined conditions under safe and controlled conditions, and thus it is difficult to accurately determine the real explosion performance of the rupture disc under such conditions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0026] The above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application will be more apparent and understandable. The present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 a method for testing the rupture of a rupture disc in a hydrogen environment is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0028] S11, controlling the gas path actuator to introduce sweep gas into the controlled test pipeline, and obtaining monitoring data fed back by the environmental composition sensor;
[0029] S12, when the oxygen content and moisture content in the monitoring data are respectively lower than the oxygen content threshold and the moisture content threshold, controlling the gas path actuator to switch to introducing hydrogen into the controlled test pipeline;
[0030] S13, controlling the temperature control actuator to bring the temperature of the test cavity containing the measured rupture disc to a preset temperature value; and controlling the gas booster mechanism to pressurize the hydrogen to a preset target pressure value;
[0031] S14, obtaining in real time the hydrogen pressure fed back by the pressure sensor and the arch height displacement value of the measured rupture disc fed back by the displacement sensor during the test process of supplying pressurized hydrogen to the test cavity;
[0032] S15, based on the hydrogen pressure and a preset target pressure rise rate, controlling the opening of the hydrogen flow regulating mechanism by a preset composite control algorithm, so as to close-loop control the pressure rise rate in the test cavity;
[0033] S16, real-time acquisition of hydrogen concentration data fed back by the hydrogen concentration sensor during the test process, and analysis of the pressure change characteristics of the hydrogen pressure;
[0034] S17, execution of the safety interlock instruction when the hydrogen concentration data exceeds the preset concentration alarm threshold, or when the pressure change characteristics meet the preset burst judgment characteristics.
[0035] The safety interlock instruction includes: control of the gas path execution mechanism to cut off the hydrogen supply, and control of the safety relief execution mechanism to start the safety relief passage.
[0036] The above steps 11 to 17 are implemented. By executing steps 11 and 12, the test pipeline to be controlled is purged with a sweep gas before hydrogen is introduced, and the oxygen content and moisture content are strictly judged according to the monitoring data fed back by the environmental composition sensor, and only after it is confirmed that both are lower than their respective oxygen content threshold and moisture content threshold, the gas path execution mechanism is instructed to switch to introduce hydrogen, eliminating the risk of forming an explosive mixed gas in the pipeline and test cavity, and establishing a safe environment before hydrogen is introduced. By executing step 13, the temperature control execution mechanism is independently controlled to make the test cavity reach the preset temperature value, and the gas pressurization mechanism is controlled to pressurize the hydrogen to the preset target pressure value, which can accurately and independently simulate the specific temperature and super-high pressure combined working conditions faced by the bursting disc in actual application, ensuring the authenticity of the test working conditions. By executing steps 14 and 15, the hydrogen pressure fed back by the pressure sensor is acquired in real time, and based on this pressure and the preset target pressure rise rate, the opening of the hydrogen flow regulating mechanism is dynamically adjusted through a preset combined control algorithm, thereby realizing closed-loop control of the pressure rise rate in the test cavity, achieving high-precision automation and repeatability of the pressure rise process. By executing steps 16 and 17, the hydrogen concentration data fed back by the hydrogen concentration sensor is acquired in real time, and the pressure change characteristics of the hydrogen pressure are analyzed synchronously, and when the hydrogen concentration data exceeds the preset concentration alarm threshold, or the pressure change characteristics meet the preset burst judgment characteristics, the safety interlock instruction is immediately executed, the gas path execution mechanism is automatically controlled to cut off the hydrogen supply, and the safety relief execution mechanism is controlled to start the safety relief passage. The above burst test method establishes real-time monitoring and early warning for unexpected sudden hydrogen leakage and rapid identification for expected burst events, realizes automatic and safe disposal of sudden situations and normal experimental endpoints during the test process, and simultaneously acquires the whole process pressure and arch displacement change data from the start of pressure rise to the occurrence of burst under the premise of ensuring safety, providing experimental test data for performance evaluation of the bursting disc.
[0037] In a specific implementation, in steps 11 and 12, the sweep gas can be nitrogen, the sweep gas and hydrogen use the same controlled test pipeline, when it is determined that the gas replacement is completed, it is in a state that hydrogen can be safely introduced, at this time, the nitrogen source of the sweep gas is switched to the hydrogen source; the gas path actuator includes various related electromagnetic pneumatic valve control units; the detection data includes oxygen content and moisture content. The test system can set the oxygen content threshold to 1 ppm and the moisture content threshold to 5 ppm. The control unit of the test system compares the monitoring data with the respective thresholds and makes logical judgments. Only when the monitoring data indicates that the oxygen content is stably below the oxygen content threshold and the moisture content is stably below the moisture content threshold, the control unit of the test system determines that the driving gas replacement is completed and is in a state that hydrogen can be safely introduced.
[0038] In a specific implementation, in step 13, the temperature control actuator can adjust the temperature of the test cavity containing the bursting disc, and can specifically adjust the test environment temperature between-40℃ and 120℃, so that the preset temperature value can be set according to the test requirements. Specifically, the test cavity as a whole is placed in a dedicated temperature control box, and the temperature control actuator is integrated in the temperature control box, which can include a heating unit, a refrigeration unit (such as a liquid nitrogen cooling circuit) and a circulating fan, for forced temperature adjustment and uniformity of air in the box.
[0039] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The specific steps of step 13 in which the control gas pressurization mechanism pressurizes hydrogen to a preset target pressure value include:
[0040] S131, determining whether the preset target pressure value reaches a preset pressure threshold;
[0041] S132, if the preset target pressure value is less than the preset pressure threshold, the control gas pressurization mechanism is operated in a first-stage pressurization mode, which includes: controlling the operation of the first-stage gas pressurization pump, and cooling the hydrogen output after operation;
[0042] S133, if the preset target pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, the control gas pressurization mechanism is enabled in a staged pressurization mode, which includes: first controlling the operation of the first-stage gas pressurization pump, and then controlling the operation of the second-stage gas pressurization pump; wherein, after the operation of the first-stage gas pressurization pump and before the operation of the second-stage gas pressurization pump, the hydrogen is cooled.
[0043] In a specific implementation, the gas pressurizing mechanism adopts a first-stage and a second-stage gas pressurizing pump, both of which are gas-driven pressurizing pumps. The working principle is to use a low-pressure driving gas to push a piston in the pump, thereby compressing another high-pressure working medium. The working medium is 10-15 MPa bottled hydrogen, and the driving gas is nitrogen or compressed air. The connection pipeline of the driving gas and the test pipeline of the hydrogen are not the same pipeline. The pressure of the driving gas is stably controlled in the range of 0.5 MPa to 1.0 MPa through a pressure reducing valve. Due to the difference in the pressure of the driving gas, the pressure of the pressurized hydrogen also changes. The pressure of the driving gas and the pressurizing ratio of the hydrogen pressurizing pump jointly determine the final hydrogen output pressure. Specifically, by adjusting the pressure of the driving gas, the output pressure of the pressurized hydrogen can be linearly adjusted.
[0044] In a specific implementation, the preset pressure threshold can be set to 48 MPa.
[0045] When the preset target pressure value is lower than 48 MPa, a first-stage pressurizing mode is adopted. In the first-stage pressurizing mode, the first-stage gas pressurizing pump is controlled to operate. The pressure of the driving gas of the first-stage gas pressurizing pump is set to 0.8 MPa, and the pressurizing ratio is 60:1. The first-stage gas pressurizing pump can pressurize hydrogen with an inlet pressure of 10-15 MPa to an output pressure of about 48 MPa. After pressurization, the output hydrogen after operation is cooled by a cooler.
[0046] When the preset target pressure value needs to be in the range of 48 MPa to 200 MPa, a staged pressurizing mode is enabled. In the staged pressurizing mode, the first-stage gas pressurizing pump pressurizes hydrogen to about 48 MPa. A cooler between the first-stage gas pressurizing pump and the second-stage gas pressurizing pump is used to cool the hydrogen. The cooled hydrogen enters the second-stage gas pressurizing pump. The pressurizing ratio of the second-stage gas pressurizing pump is designed to be not less than 250:1. Under the working condition that the pressure of the driving gas is also set to 0.8 MPa, the two stages work in series to finally pressurize the hydrogen to a maximum of 200 MPa.
[0047] By implementing the above steps 131-133, the optimal pressurization path is first intelligently selected by judging whether the preset target pressure value reaches the preset pressure threshold. If the preset target pressure value is less than the preset pressure threshold, the gas pressurization mechanism is controlled to operate in a first-stage pressurization mode. The first-stage pressurization mode realizes preliminary pressurization of hydrogen by controlling the operation of a first-stage gas pressurization pump, and immediately cools the output hydrogen after operation to eliminate compression heat and protect the downstream system. If the preset target pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, the gas pressurization mechanism is controlled to enable a more efficient staged pressurization mode. The staged pressurization mode first controls the operation of the first-stage gas pressurization pump, then cools the hydrogen to reduce the medium temperature and protect the second-stage pump, and finally controls the operation of the second-stage gas pressurization pump for final pressurization. This method realizes efficient and safe pressurization in a super-wide pressure range (such as 10 MPa to 200 MPa), and through intelligent mode switching and forced intermediate cooling, it not only avoids the efficiency bottleneck and overheating risk of a single pressurization pump at super-high pressure, but also ensures the reliability of the output hydrogen temperature, providing a stable and safety-temperature-compliant super-high-pressure hydrogen source for subsequent testing.
[0048] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 In step 15, based on the hydrogen pressure and the preset target pressurization rate, the opening of the hydrogen flow regulating mechanism is controlled by a preset composite control algorithm to close-loop control the pressure rise rate in the test chamber. The specific steps include:
[0049] S151, filtering the hydrogen pressure;
[0050] S152, calculating the actual pressurization rate based on the filtered hydrogen pressure;
[0051] S153, calculating the rate error between the actual pressurization rate and the preset target pressurization rate;
[0052] S154, calculating the total control amount based on the rate error using a preset composite control algorithm;
[0053] S155, distributing the total control amount as opening control instructions for the hydrogen flow regulating mechanism and driving gas pressure regulating instructions for the gas pressurization mechanism, and outputting for execution.
[0054] In specific implementation, the data collection before filtering is continuously collected by a pressure sensor at a sampling frequency of 10 Hz to collect the hydrogen pressure in the test chamber, and then the data processing module of the test system uses a sliding average and a first-order low-pass filtering processing method to filter the hydrogen pressure to filter out high-frequency noise interference and obtain smooth and stable real-time hydrogen pressure P t This data is used for subsequent calculations of the actual pressure boost rate. Furthermore, simultaneous data acquisition and filtering can be employed to synchronously acquire real-time temperature data. T ( t ).
[0055] In practical implementation, after obtaining the real-time hydrogen pressure after filtering... P ( t Then, the actual pressure rise rate is calculated based on this pressure. Specifically, the formula used for the calculation is: .in, t For the current moment, This represents the actual boost rate. P ( t The value is the real-time hydrogen pressure, and Δt is the sampling period, which can be set to 2 seconds. This calculation yields the actual pressure increase rate at the current moment, expressed in MPa / min. This is used for subsequent comparison with the target boost rate and to generate a rate error. .
[0056] In practical implementation, the actual boost rate is obtained. Then, the error between it and the preset target boost rate is calculated. Specifically, the rate error... The calculation formula is: ,in, This refers to the preset target boost rate value set by the host computer. Rate error. It will serve as the core input to the preset composite control algorithm, driving subsequent proportional, integral, derivative, and feedforward compensation calculations.
[0057] In practical implementation, after obtaining the rate error Then, the total control quantity is calculated using a preset composite control algorithm. Specifically, the mathematical model of the composite control algorithm is as follows: ,in, t For the current moment, This is the total control quantity. This is the proportionality coefficient. For rate error, The integral coefficient is... These are the differential coefficients. This is the feedforward compensation amount.
[0058] Among them, the proportionality coefficient Integral coefficient and differential coefficients These coefficients are segmented according to the pressure range of the test pressure: in the low-pressure range (<48MPa), the proportional coefficient... Take 1.5~2.5 to speed up the response, integral coefficient Corresponding integral time 5~10 seconds, differential coefficient Corresponding differential time 0.5~1 seconds; in the high pressure section (48MPa~200MPa), proportional coefficient Take 0.8~1.5 to suppress overshoot, integral coefficient Corresponding integral time 10~20 seconds, differential coefficient Corresponding differential time 1~2 seconds. Further, to improve the control stability, when the absolute value of the rate error is less than ±0.5% of the target pressure rate, the proportional coefficient is automatically multiplied by a decay coefficient of 0.6~0.8. In addition, when calculating the differential item output using the differential coefficient , to avoid direct differential amplification of high-frequency noise on the error signal , a second-order difference filtering method is used to calculate the differential value. Specifically, the differential item is calculated by the following formula: Where Δt is the sampling period described above. This calculation method can effectively suppress high-frequency noise and ensure the stability and effectiveness of differential control.
[0059] For the feedforward compensation amount , the calculation formula is: Where t is the current time, T ( t ) is the real-time temperature, is the reference temperature (which can be set to 25℃), k1 is the rate compensation coefficient (value range 0.1~0.3), k2 is the pressure compensation coefficient (value range 0.05~0.1), and k3 is the temperature compensation coefficient (value range 0.02~0.05).
[0060] In the control process, the theoretical target pressure P target ( t )= P 0 + V set t Where P 0 is the initial pressure, which can be 10MPa, and the theoretical target pressure P target ( t ) is calculated for comparison with the real-time hydrogen pressure P ( t ) to monitor whether the pressure increasing process is well tracking the preset target pressure rate.
[0061] In a specific implementation, after the total control amount is calculated , it is distributed and converted into specific execution instructions. Specifically, the distribution is made according to preset weights: a large portion (weights 0.7-0.9) of the total control amount is used to generate instructions for controlling the opening degree of the hydrogen flow regulating mechanism; the remaining portion (weights 0.1-0.3) of the total control amount is used to generate instructions for regulating the driving gas pressure of the gas pressurizing mechanism, which is used to regulate the pressure of the driving gas (nitrogen or compressed air) pressurized to the super-high-pressure gas tank as the buffer gas source, and the pressure of the driving gas is controlled in the range of 0.5-1.0 MPa by the pressure reducing valve.
[0062] Subsequently, the remote control unit outputs the opening degree control instructions to the electromagnetic pneumatic valve control unit to adjust the opening degree of the super-high-pressure intelligent regulating valve, thereby controlling the hydrogen flow from the buffer gas source (super-high-pressure gas tank); at the same time, the driving gas pressure regulating instructions are output to accurately control the pressurization process of the buffer gas source by adjusting the driving force of the driving gas pressurizing pump. The hydrogen entering the test cavity is regulated by closed-loop control, and all of it comes from the buffer gas source (super-high-pressure gas tank) that has been subjected to pressure stabilization treatment.
[0063] By performing steps 151-155, the hydrogen pressure is first filtered to eliminate noise interference and obtain stable pressure data. Subsequently, the rate error is calculated, which accurately reflects the deviation of the current pressure rising process from the ideal process. Based on the rate error, a preset composite control algorithm is used for calculation to obtain the total control amount, which is intelligently distributed as opening degree control instructions for the hydrogen flow regulating mechanism and driving gas pressure regulating instructions for the gas pressurizing mechanism, and is output for execution. This series of steps builds a high-precision, fast-response pressure closed-loop control, which can sense the pressure change trend in real time, dynamically adjust the action of the key execution mechanism through the composite control algorithm, thereby ensuring that the pressure in the test cavity can rise strictly according to the preset target pressure rising rate with extremely high precision and stability, and providing a guarantee for obtaining accurate and reliable burst pressure data.
[0064] In a specific implementation, in step 16, during the test process, the hydrogen concentration data fed back by the hydrogen concentration sensing unit arranged inside the temperature control box is acquired in real time, and the hydrogen pressure fed back by the pressure sensor is analyzed to monitor its pressure change characteristics. Specifically, the analysis includes real-time monitoring of the pressure data and identifying whether the pressure has a sudden drop that meets a preset characteristic. Specifically, a pressure drop value reaching or exceeding 2 MPa is identified as a significant pressure inflection point, which is one of the physical signs that the test system determines as a possible rupture or burst of the burst disc.
[0065] In a specific implementation, in step 17 above, the real-time acquired hydrogen concentration data is compared with the preset concentration alarm threshold, and whether the pressure change characteristics meet the preset burst judgment characteristics is analyzed synchronously. Specifically, the concentration alarm threshold can be set to 4000 ppm. One key indicator of the burst judgment characteristics is that the pressure drop value reaches or exceeds 2 MPa.
[0066] When any of the following conditions is met, the control unit of the test system immediately triggers a safety interlock instruction, including:
[0067] 1. The hydrogen concentration data exceeds the concentration alarm threshold of 4000 ppm;
[0068] 2. The burst judgment characteristic that the pressure drop value reaches or exceeds 2 MPa is identified.
[0069] Once the safety interlock instruction is triggered, the control unit of the test system will perform the following actions:
[0070] 1. Control the gas path actuator to act: immediately close the hydrogen source pneumatic shut-off valve to cut off the hydrogen supply from the source, and simultaneously close the driving gas pneumatic shut-off valve to cut off the power source of the gas booster pump and stop the pressure increase;
