The oil pipeline 17 and the first oil return pipeline 18 are connected to the heat transfer oil furnace 11 to form a heat transfer oil circulation loop. A heat transfer oil circulation pump 12 is provided on the oil pipeline 17. Heat transfer oil is stored in the heat transfer oil furnace 11; an electric heater 10 is installed in the heat transfer oil furnace 11 for heating the heat transfer oil.

[0034] A first stop valve 14 and a second heat transfer oil thermocouple 30 are provided on the first oil return pipeline 18; a second stop valve 15 is provided on the second oil return pipeline 19; a third stop valve 16 and a first heat transfer oil thermocouple 13 are provided on the third oil return pipeline 20.

[0035] The organic Rankine power generation unit includes: an evaporator 22, an organic Rankine turbine 21, a condenser 23, a working fluid pump 24, a second oil return pipeline 19, and a third oil return pipeline 20.

[0036] The evaporator 22 is connected to the first oil return pipe 18 through the second oil return pipe 19, and the evaporator 22 is connected to the oil delivery pipe 17 through the third oil return pipe 20 to form a heat transfer oil circuit.

[0037] The working process of the heat extraction and heat energy storage system of the magnesium hydride charge and discharge hydrogen reactor of the present utility model:

[0038] The shell side of the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1 in the magnesium hydride reactor is filled with Mg / MgH2, and the heat transfer oil flows on the tube side for heat exchange. Mg can undergo a hydrogen absorption reaction at a temperature of 120-300 °C, absorb a large amount of hydrogen, and generate MgH2, and the hydrogen absorption reaction will release a large amount of heat.

[0039] During the process of Mg reacting with H2 to generate MgH2, hydrogen is provided by the hydrogen source 29 and enters the shell side of the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1 through the pneumatic control valve 4, the hydrogen flowmeter 5, and the filter 3. The flow rate of hydrogen is controlled by the pneumatic control valve 4 and recorded by the hydrogen flowmeter 5. The heat transfer oil in the heat transfer oil furnace 11 is heated to the initial start-up reaction temperature of 120 °C - 300 °C by the electric heater 10, and the heated heat transfer oil is input into the tube side of the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1 by the heat transfer oil circulation pump 12 to heat Mg and hydrogen to the reaction temperature to start the hydrogen absorption reaction. After the hydrogen absorption reaction starts, a large amount of heat is generated. When the temperature is detected to reach a certain value by the U-shaped tube heat exchanger thermocouple 2 and the first heat transfer oil thermocouple 13, the first stop valve 14 is closed, the heat transfer oil electric heater 10 is closed, and the second stop valve 15 and the third stop valve 16 are opened; the heat transfer oil enters the tube side of the evaporator 22 through the second oil return pipe 19. The working fluid on the shell side of the evaporator 22 is heated and vaporized and expanded by the heat transfer oil on the tube side. The working fluid forms a high-temperature and high-pressure gas and enters the organic Rankine turbine 21 for power generation, and the generated electricity is stored in the storage battery 25. The high-temperature and high-pressure working fluid gas that has consumed part of the energy enters the condenser 23 and is cooled and liquefied by the cooling water in the condenser 23 and returns to the shell side of the evaporator 22 through the working fluid pump 24 for circulation.

[0040] After being cooled, the heat-conducting oil flows out from the outlet on the tube side of the evaporator 22, enters the third oil return pipe 20, and forms a cycle through the third stop valve 16 and the heat-conducting oil circulation pump 12 into the tube side of the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1. The temperature of the heat-conducting oil monitored by the first heat-conducting oil thermocouple 13 and the reaction temperature monitored by the U-shaped tube heat exchanger thermocouple 2 are jointly fed back to control the opening degree of the pneumatic control valve 4, and the reaction temperature in the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1 is controlled.

[0041] During the process of hydrogen release from MgH2, the heat-conducting oil in the heat-conducting oil furnace 11 is heated by the electric heater 10 to the reaction temperature of 120°C - 300°C. The first stop valve 14 is opened, and the second stop valve 15 and the third stop valve 16 are closed. The heated heat-conducting oil is input into the tube side of the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1 by the heat-conducting oil circulation pump 12. The reaction continuously absorbs heat, and the electric heater 10 continuously heats. The heat-conducting oil returns to the heat-conducting oil furnace 11 through the first oil return pipe 18 to form a cycle. The temperature of the heat-conducting oil monitored by the second heat-conducting oil thermocouple 30 and the reaction temperature monitored by the U-shaped tube heat exchanger thermocouple 2 jointly feed back to control the power of the electric heater 10, and then control the reaction temperature in the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1 to make the reaction proceed under the optimal temperature conditions. After reaching the appropriate reaction temperature, MgH2 continuously decomposes and absorbs heat to generate Mg and H2. The H2 is pumped out by the hydrogen pump 8. The H2 passes through the filter 3 to prevent dust from being carried out with the gas, is cooled by the coil air cooler 6, and enters the hydrogen storage tank after being compressed by the hydrogen compressor 9.

[0042] After the hydrogenation or dehydrogenation reaction ends, the residual unreacted H2 is pumped out and evacuated to a safe place through the hydrogen pump 8 to prevent the accumulation of H2; nitrogen is blown into the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1 through the nitrogen purging device 7, and then the nitrogen is pumped out through the hydrogen pump 8 again, repeating twice; then the U-shaped tube heat exchanger 1 is filled with nitrogen for gas protection.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: modifications made to the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent replacements of some or all of the technical features therein, do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
