Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks, in particular to a high-pressure hydrogen storage tank with a carbon fiber reinforced structure. Background Art
[0002] The main function of a high-pressure hydrogen storage tank is to store and transport high-pressure hydrogen for use in the fields of energy, chemical industry, aerospace, etc. High-pressure hydrogen storage is a common hydrogen storage method, in which hydrogen is contained in a gas cylinder under high pressure (15.2-70.9 MPa) and can be directly released by adjusting the pressure reducing valve. This method is convenient and reliable, and is the most common and direct way to store hydrogen. With the development of materials science, high-pressure gas cylinders made of carbon fiber and aluminum composite materials have been developed, which greatly reduces the weight of the gas cylinders themselves and improves the capacity loading efficiency, making high-pressure hydrogen storage a more competitive on-board hydrogen storage method. For example, the demonstration fuel cell bus uses high-pressure hydrogen storage bottles to directly provide hydrogen sources for the car, with a cruising range of up to 250 kilometers. The application scenarios of high-pressure hydrogen storage bottles include fixed high-pressure hydrogen storage, on-board lightweight high-pressure hydrogen storage, and high-pressure hydrogen storage for transportation. In stationary hydrogen storage technology, steel hydrogen cylinders and steel pressure vessels are widely used due to their low cost and mature technology. Automotive hydrogen storage cylinders often use an aluminum alloy / plastic liner with a carbon fiber outer layer to reduce overall weight and improve structural strength. Transport high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders are primarily used to transport hydrogen from its source to its destination or refueling station, using tubular trailers to hold the hydrogen. Although hydrogen storage tanks are the second most expensive component in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and are also large in size and weight, they ensure the vehicle's range and must undergo multiple safety tests to ensure safety. The development of hydrogen storage tanks is of great significance to the application and development of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
