Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of gas compression, in particular to a combined hydrogen compressor staged compression control system. Background Art

[0002] The hydrogen compressor system is a hydrogen boosting equipment that integrates hydrogen boosting system, hydraulic station power system, cooling system, nitrogen system, centralized discharge pipeline system, power distribution system and control system. It is widely used in hydrogen refueling stations, gas filling stations, pressure testing institutions, etc.

[0003] Common staged booster compressor control systems are mostly single compressor two-stage or three-stage designs. The advantage is simple control. The disadvantages are: (1) small exhaust volume. Although it can be designed by connecting multiple compressors in parallel, the energy consumption will increase greatly; (2) two-stage or three-stage cylinder design, the compression ratio of each stage is different, but the cooling water temperature and cylinder cooling channel are the same, which will inevitably lead to inconsistent piston seal life and low economic efficiency to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a combined hydrogen compressor staged compression control system to effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a combined hydrogen compressor staged compression control system, including a hydrogen boosting system, a hydraulic station power system, a cooling system, a nitrogen system, a centralized discharge pipeline system, a power distribution system and a control system. The front end of the hydrogen boosting system is provided with a hydrogen inlet, and the rear end is provided with a hydrogen outlet. The front end of the nitrogen system is provided with an instrument gas inlet, and the centralized discharge pipeline system is divided into a low-pressure centralized discharge pipe port and a high-pressure centralized discharge pipe port.

[0006] Furthermore, the hydrogen boosting system is connected in sequence from the hydrogen inlet to an inlet pneumatic valve, a first pipeline safety valve, a pre-filter, a first compressor, a first hydrogen cooler, a second pipeline safety valve, a second compressor, a second hydrogen cooler, a third pipeline safety valve, a post-filter, a manual relief valve and an outlet pneumatic valve.

[0007] Furthermore, the first compressor performs a first-stage compression of hydrogen, and the second compressor performs a second-stage pressurization of hydrogen. During the process, the hydrogen is cooled by the first hydrogen cooler and the second hydrogen cooler and then enters a subsequent storage unit.

[0008] Furthermore, the power required for the first compressor and the second compressor to perform reciprocating motion is provided by the hydraulic station power system.

[0009] Furthermore, the low-pressure centralized discharge pipe port is connected to the first pipeline safety valve, the first compressor and the second compressor through a pipeline.

[0010] Furthermore, the high-pressure centralized relief pipe port is connected to the second pipeline safety valve, the third pipeline safety valve and the manual relief valve through a pipeline.

[0011] Furthermore, the cooling system is provided with circulating cooling water by an external cooler.

[0012] Furthermore, the nitrogen system is divided into two parts: replacement gas and drive gas. The replacement gas includes an inlet ball valve, a check ball valve and a stop valve, and the drive gas includes an inlet pressure regulating filter and a drive solenoid valve.

[0013] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the double-acting liquid-driven piston compressors used in series design have a larger exhaust volume than two-stage or three-stage liquid-driven piston compressors of the same specification and quantity. The exhaust volume can be calculated by the front-to-back pressure ratio of each stage, and the driving time of the reversing valve can be controlled to make the front and rear exhaust volumes tend to be consistent. The energy consumption is relatively low, it is more economical, the structure is reasonable, and it is more compact. It can also be distinguished from the design of adding a buffer tank in series between two compressors. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
