[0047] It also includes a data acquisition module, a data preprocessing module, a heat recovery efficiency calculation module, a system performance evaluation module and an optimization adjustment module;
[0048] The data acquisition module records the temperature changes in the filtration unit and the waste heat recovery system through temperature sensors; monitors the pressure of hydrogen in each unit through pressure sensors; measures the flow rate of hydrogen through flow sensors, and detects the purity and impurity content of hydrogen through gas concentration sensors;

Specifically, the data filtering operation removes outliers and noise; the data smoothing operation smooths the data to reduce the impact of fluctuations; the data synchronization operation synchronizes the data information of different sensors to a unified time axis;
[0050] Through the heat recovery efficiency calculation module, thermal energy assessment is carried out to optimize the efficiency of waste heat recovery. Based on the data of multi-point temperature sensors and flow sensors, combined with the heat flux density calculation method, the thermal energy recovery efficiency is dynamically evaluated; the temperature and flow data of each monitoring point are collected, the heat flux density of each point is calculated, and integrated into the total heat recovery efficiency:
[0051]
[0052] where η 热回收 is the heat recovery efficiency, is the mass flow rate, c p is the specific heat capacity, ΔT i is the temperature difference at each monitoring point, is the sum of the recovered heat at all monitoring points, and the total input heat is: Q 总输入 =P 电能 +Q 环境热源 ;

[0054]
[0055] where η 系统 is the system energy efficiency, j,k j are the non-linear regression coefficients, Q 输入, j is the contribution of each input energy source, η 系统 is the system energy efficiency;
[0056] Among them, the hydrogen purity evaluation formula:
[0057]
[0058] Among them, C 氢气is the hydrogen concentration, C 总气体 is the total gas concentration;
[0059] Through the optimization and adjustment module, parameter optimization is carried out. Through Bayesian optimization and deep learning algorithms, the system parameters are dynamically adjusted according to real-time data and historical data;
[0060] Bayesian optimization formula:
[0061] Dynamic adjustment = argmax θ P(θ|D 实时 )

[0066] It should be noted that through the heat recovery efficiency calculation module for heat energy evaluation, the efficiency optimization of waste heat recovery can be achieved. This module first collects the temperature and flow data of each monitoring point through multiple temperature sensors and flow sensors, and then inputs these data into the system to calculate the heat flux density of each monitoring point. Finally, the data of all monitoring points are integrated to obtain the total heat recovery efficiency. This method of multi-point monitoring and comprehensive calculation can more accurately evaluate the heat energy utilization of each part of the system, ensure that waste heat energy is fully recovered, and thus optimize the overall energy efficiency of the system;
[0067] The system performance evaluation module realizes energy balance and system optimization through multi-parameter joint analysis. This module simultaneously analyzes multiple parameters such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, and hydrogen purity, and evaluates the overall energy efficiency of the system through a non-linear regression model. Specifically, the system collects the data of these parameters, inputs them into the regression model, analyzes the contribution of each input energy source to the system, and calculates the effective output energy of the system. In addition, through the data of the gas concentration sensor, the proportion of hydrogen in the total gas is evaluated to comprehensively understand the operating performance of the system. This comprehensive analysis method can identify possible efficiency problems in the system and provide strong data support for further optimization;
[0068] The optimization and adjustment module dynamically adjusts system parameters through real-time data and historical data to achieve the adaptive dynamic optimization of the system. This module uses the Bayesian optimization algorithm to calculate the current best system parameter settings based on real-time data and combines with a deep learning model to continuously optimize the system performance through the training of historical data. The specific operations include real-time monitoring of parameters such as the flow rate, pressure, and temperature of the system, dynamically adjusting these parameters to reach the optimal state. The Bayesian optimization algorithm determines the optimal adjustment scheme according to the changes in real-time data, while the deep learning model continuously improves the system performance through the continuous comparison and learning of historical data and real-time data. This adaptive optimization method ensures that the system always maintains the best state under different operating conditions, improving the hydrogen purity and energy efficiency;
[0069] In addition, this device achieves efficient hydrogen purification through a multi-layer filtration structure and an intelligent control system. First, hydrogen enters the dynamic fluid regulation system, which adjusts the flow rate and pressure of hydrogen in the filtration unit through a micro pump, valves, and flow sensors. Hydrogen passes through a mechanical filtration layer (removing large particle impurities), an adsorption filtration layer (adsorbing organic impurities), a chemical filtration layer (removing oxygen and moisture), and a membrane filtration layer (finely filtering trace impurities) in sequence to achieve multi-level physical and chemical purification. The gas-liquid separation unit uses a cyclone separator and a condenser to remove liquid impurities in hydrogen. The photocatalytic assistance unit further purifies hydrogen through a multi-wavelength LED light source and photocatalytic materials. The real-time monitoring system includes temperature, pressure, flow rate, and gas concentration sensors to monitor various parameters during the hydrogen purification process. The control system combines data processing, heat recovery efficiency calculation, system performance evaluation, and the optimization and adjustment module to dynamically optimize system parameters and ensure the efficient operation of the system. The waste heat recovery system recovers the waste heat generated during the filtration process through a heat exchanger and a heat energy recovery pipeline. The self-cleaning function module uses an ultrasonic cleaner and a backwashing system to regularly clean the filtration unit to prevent blockage and extend the service life of the equipment.
