Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to hydrogen tank field especially adsorption type low temperature hydrogen tank. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the method of large-scale hydrogen storage and transportation mainly includes three categories: high-pressure tube bundle gaseous hydrogen storage, low-temperature tank car liquid hydrogen storage and medium-pressure tank solid metal hydrogen storage. High-pressure tube bundle gaseous hydrogen storage usually compresses hydrogen to ultrahigh pressure (35-70 MPa) and stores it in a specially-made high-strength hydrogen storage tank. The adsorption capacity per unit volume can reach 350-700 L / L. Although it has been widely used in industrial and transportation fields, the high equipment manufacturing cost and safety problems often become the focus of attention. Low-temperature tank car liquid hydrogen storage liquefies hydrogen by cooling it to below -253 DEG C for high-density storage. The adsorption capacity per unit volume can reach 6000 L / L. However, due to the extremely low temperature required for cooling and continuous thermal management control, this technology faces significant energy loss and high cost problems. Medium-pressure tank solid metal hydrogen storage uses magnesium-based metal as a carrier to store hydrogen through chemical adsorption. The adsorption capacity per unit volume can reach 1000-2000 L / L. Although it avoids the need for high-pressure hydrogen storage and low-temperature cooling, this technology faces significant problems of high raw material cost, high energy consumption at high temperature, and poor reversibility.
