[0050] The mainstream hydrogen bottle on the market is 70MPa. If the operating seawater temperature of the fuel cell unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) is 15℃, the density of hydrogen is 40.172kg / m 3A 300L hydrogen bottle carries about 12kg of hydrogen, but due to the inherent characteristics of the hydrogen bottle valve group, its hydrogen cannot be fully released and utilized, and the available amount is about 90%, or about 11kg. Hydrogen production from aluminum water is a mature hydrogen production technology. Its reactants are aluminum-based materials, 2Al+6H2O=2Al(OH)3+3H2↑, 120kg aluminum powder can react to generate 13.33kg hydrogen, consume 240kg water, and can produce 12kg hydrogen at a reaction yield of 90%. At the same time, in the fuel cell, 2H2+O2=2H2O, 12kg of hydrogen can generate 108kg water through the fuel cell. Therefore, by recycling the water of the fuel cell, only 132kg of water needs to be carried. 132kg of water + 120kg of aluminum-based materials, in a volume space of less than 300L, the hydrogen storage density is better than that of a 70MPa hydrogen bottle, and the reaction pressure of the aluminum water hydrogen production reaction chamber is much lower than that of the hydrogen storage bottle. Generally speaking, hydrogen production from aluminum water can be done as needed, and hydrogen can be produced flexibly by controlling the water inlet, and it only needs to meet the medium pressure of the fuel cell (0.5-0.7MPa).

[0059] In this embodiment, the hydrogen storage bottle is very small, and the main hydrogen source is provided by aluminum water hydrogen production, so as to avoid the danger of gas leakage caused by carrying large-sized hydrogen storage bottles and oxygen storage bottles at the same time. At the same time, the hydrogen storage density of aluminum water hydrogen production is higher than that of 70MPa hydrogen storage bottles under the same volume; the aluminum water hydrogen production reaction chamber is easy to load reaction materials and take out reaction products, and it is easier to refill and replace than hydrogen storage tanks in islands, coasts, ports and other places far away from hydrogen refueling stations; the water produced by the fuel cell stack is recycled to solve the storage problem of long-term accumulation of tail water.
[0060] A method for supplying hydrogen to an underwater fuel cell hydrogen supply system, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the UUV is in short-range operation or near-shore commissioning, it can choose to use only hydrogen storage bottles as the hydrogen source. The specific hydrogen supply methods include:
[0061] When the short-range mode is selected, keep the water spray assembly, hydrogen production solenoid valve and water supply pump closed, and open the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve; the hydrogen in the hydrogen storage bottle is reduced in pressure by the pressure reducing valve and then enters the fuel cell stack through the ejector assembly; the unreacted hydrogen passes through the steam-water separator and then re-enters the fuel cell stack through the ejector assembly; when the high and low liquid level sensors in the steam-water separator have signals, the drain solenoid valve and the recovery water pump are turned on to send the tail water generated after the reaction into the water tank for storage; when the high and low liquid level sensors have no signals, the drain solenoid valve and the water pump are closed; when the average single-chip voltage of the fuel cell stack is less than the preset standard single-chip voltage or the minimum single-chip voltage is less than the preset minimum single-chip voltage, open the exhaust solenoid valve until the average single-chip voltage of the fuel cell stack is not less than the preset standard single-chip voltage or the minimum single-chip voltage is not less than the preset minimum single-chip voltage.
[0062] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, the water spray assembly, hydrogen production solenoid valve and water supply pump are closed, the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is opened, the hydrogen in the hydrogen storage bottle is reduced to a normal medium pressure of 0.5-0.7MPa by the pressure reducing valve and then enters the hydrogen supply main line, and then enters the fuel cell stack after being adjusted to a stable target stack pressure by the ejector assembly, and the unreacted hydrogen passes through the steam-water separator and enters the ejector assembly through the circulation pipeline to re-enter the stack, when the high and low liquid level sensors in the steam-water separator have signals, the drain solenoid valve and the recovery water pump are turned on, and the tail water enters the water tank for storage, and when the high and low liquid level sensors have no signals, the drain solenoid valve and the return water pump are turned off; when the average single-chip voltage V ave Or the minimum single chip voltage V low Respectively less than or equal to the minimum threshold V avemin and V lowmin , the exhaust solenoid valve opens to the average single-chip voltage of the fuel cell stack V ave Or the minimum single chip voltage V low After returning to the normal threshold, it is closed and the tail gas enters the hydrogen removal device for treatment.
[0063] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, when the long-range mode is selected, the water supply pump is turned on, and the pulse width corresponding to the water spray assembly is regulated based on the difference between the water supply pressure and the pressure of the hydrogen production cabin; when the pressure of the aluminum liquid hydrogen production cabin is within the preset target pressure range, the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is closed; when the pressure of the aluminum liquid hydrogen production cabin is greater than the preset target pressure range, the water spray assembly is controlled to stop working, the hydrogen production solenoid valve is kept open and the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is closed; when the pressure of the aluminum liquid hydrogen production cabin is less than the preset target pressure range, the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is opened so that the pressure of the aluminum liquid hydrogen production cabin is within the preset target pressure range.
[0064] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the UUV needs to operate for a long voyage, it turns on aluminum water to produce hydrogen as a hydrogen source. After the aluminum-based materials are filled, the aluminum water hydrogen production reaction cabin has been replaced with hydrogen to ensure that the reaction cabin is filled with pure hydrogen. The working process is as follows: the water supply pump is turned on as a water supply source, and the required water intake for aluminum water hydrogen production is obtained based on the target hydrogen production pressure. The pulse width of the water spray assembly is adjusted according to the difference between the water supply pressure and the hydrogen production cabin pressure, so that the aluminum water hydrogen production cabin pressure is maintained between the upper and lower thresholds of the target pressure (P min ≤Hydrogen production chamber outlet pressure≤P max ), at this time, the hydrogen production battery valve is opened, the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is closed, and hydrogen supply is not required; if the hydrogen production cabin pressure is greater than the target pressure upper limit threshold P max , the water spray assembly stops working and no water reaction occurs. The hydrogen production solenoid valve continues to open to maintain the supply of hydrogen flow to the fuel cell, and the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is closed. If the hydrogen production cabin pressure is less than the target pressure lower limit threshold P min, the water spray assembly works normally, the hydrogen production solenoid valve remains open, and the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve opens to supply hydrogen to maintain the medium pressure within the target pressure upper and lower thresholds. When the hydrogen production cabin pressure is greater than the target pressure lower limit threshold P again min , the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is closed. The processing method of unreacted gas and tail water during fuel cell power generation is consistent with the logic of UUV short-range operation or near-shore commissioning.
[0065] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, when the high power mode is selected, when the pressure of the hydrogen production reaction chamber is less than the preset standard threshold and the pressure shows a downward trend, the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is opened until the pressure of the hydrogen production reaction chamber is within the preset standard threshold range, and then the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve is closed.
[0066] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the UUV has a short period of high-power operation. When the system receives a signal for high-power operation, the hydrogen demand flow of the fuel cell anode increases, and the water intake of aluminum water hydrogen production increases. However, due to the hysteresis of the chemical reaction, the hydrogen production of aluminum water hydrogen production cannot quickly make up for the decrease in hydrogen production cabin pressure caused by the increase in output flow. If the outlet pressure of the hydrogen production reaction cabin continues to decrease and is lower than the threshold value P1 (P1>P min ), the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve needs to be opened to supplement a part of the hydrogen volume, otherwise the pressure in the hydrogen production reaction chamber will continue to drop, the water inflow multiple will increase, and when the pressure rises, the water inflow will be excessive, which is easy to cause overpressure; after opening the hydrogen bottle solenoid valve, the large fluctuation of the hydrogen production reaction chamber pressure is reduced under the premise of ensuring the supply of the hydrogen demand flow of the fuel cell stack, and the pressure of the aluminum water hydrogen production rises to the stable output pressure threshold range under the high power operation state (P1≤hydrogen production chamber outlet pressure≤P max ), the solenoid valve of the hydrogen bottle is closed; when the high-power operation state ends, the high-power operation signal disappears, and the hydrogen supply is restored to the UUV long-range operation demand mode. The processing of unreacted gas and tail water during the fuel cell power generation process is consistent with the logic of UUV short-range operation or near-shore debugging.
