TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to electrolytic water hydrogen production technology field especially relates to a kind of electrolytic water hydrogen production heat utilization device system. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of new power system mainly based on new energy, and the popularization and application of green hydrogen, large-capacity electrolytic water hydrogen production devices powered by renewable energy such as photovoltaic are increasingly valued by people. However, renewable energy has characteristics such as intermittency, volatility and randomness, so the matching large-capacity hydrogen production device needs to be frequently started and stopped according to the power supply situation during actual operation.
[0003] The alkaline electrolytic water hydrogen production device that stops running will be in a hot start or cold start state according to the length of the start interval. Whether in hot start or cold start, the length of the start time is closely related to the length of time for the electrolyte to reach the required temperature. For electrolytic cells in hot standby state, the alkali solution will gradually decrease as the downtime extends, and when it drops below 50°C, it will cause the time of re-heating to be prolonged. For cold-start electrolytic cells, the main performance indicators of the device (gas production, gas purity, etc.) can only reach the design value quickly when the alkali solution reaches above 50°C. Due to the low initial alkali solution temperature (room temperature), the alkali solution needs to be gradually heated to 50°C by putting the electrolytic cell into operation (electrolysis of water generates heat at the same time), which takes a long time (usually about 1-1.5 hours), and the gas purity cannot meet the requirements during this process. Due to the long start-up time of the electrolytic cell, a large amount of electrical energy is wasted, and the effective utilization time of the equipment is also reduced.
[0004] Only part of the energy of the running alkaline electrolytic water hydrogen production device is converted into hydrogen and oxygen, and the rest is in the form of heat entering the alkali solution. To prevent the device from overheating, the existing technology removes heat from the alkaline electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, and the alkali solution is cooled by exchanging heat with cooling water. A large amount of cooling water is required. For large-scale alkaline electrolytic water hydrogen production equipment, the amount of heat generated increases with the increase in capacity, and the amount of cooling water required also increases, resulting in the loss of this part of heat and reducing the energy utilization efficiency of the entire system.
[0005] CN220579417U discloses an alkaline electrolytic water hydrogen production system, and a cold start improvement device for an alkaline electrolytic tank. The oil inlet of the first vacuum heat insulation storage tank is connected with the alkali outlet pipe of each alkali electrolytic tank in the water electrolysis gas-liquid separation system through a first pipeline. The oil outlet of the first vacuum heat insulation storage tank is connected with the alkali inlet pipe of each alkali electrolytic tank in the water electrolysis gas-liquid separation system through a second pipeline. An alkali main pump is installed on the first pipeline or the second pipeline. When the heat engine is shut down, the alkali in the process pipeline of the alkaline electrolytic tank and the water electrolysis gas-liquid separation system is pumped out and stored in the first vacuum heat insulation storage tank. When the alkaline electrolytic tank is started up, the alkali stored in the first vacuum heat insulation storage tank is sent back to the alkaline electrolytic tank. The problem of high power consumption during cold start of the alkaline electrolytic tank is solved, resource is saved, resource utilization is improved, the alkaline electrolytic tank can be better coupled with wind and solar power, and the dynamic performance of the alkaline electrolytic tank is improved. The main problems of the scheme include: ①the excess heat generated during operation of the alkaline electrolytic water hydrogen production device is wasted; ②more equipment is added, and the control difficulty is increased; and ③the gas in the system needs to be replaced with inert gas during shutdown.
[0006] CN218756068U discloses an electrolytic water hydrogen production system with waste heat recovery and utilization, which comprises an electrolytic tank, a first temperature detection element, a hydrogen side separator, an oxygen side separator, a heat exchanger, an electrolyte cooler, an electrolyte circulating pump and a waste heat utilization system. The hydrogen gas-liquid mixture outlet from the hydrogen side of the electrolytic tank enters the hydrogen side separator. The oxygen gas-liquid mixture outlet from the oxygen side of the electrolytic tank enters the oxygen side separator. The electrolyte separated from the hydrogen side and the oxygen side separators is combined and enters the heat exchanger to heat or cool the heat exchange medium, and then enters the electrolyte cooler. The electrolyte is pumped into the electrolyte inlet of the electrolytic tank by the electrolyte circulating pump. The on-off / flow of the heat exchange medium and the on-off / flow of the cooling medium are adjusted by the control valve or the variable frequency pump to more accurately and reliably control the temperature of the electrolyte and improve the energy efficiency of the system. Meanwhile, the heat exchanger and the electrolyte cooler adopt a double-pipe heat exchanger to solve the problem of corrosion of the waste heat utilization system equipment by high-temperature and high-pressure electrolyte. The device has the following problems: ①the alkaline electrolytic water hydrogen production device has a long start-up time in the cold start state, and a large amount of electric energy is wasted; and ②more system equipment is added, and the control difficulty is increased.
[0007] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an electrolytic water hydrogen production heat utilization device system to make the electrolytic tank alkali temperature of the alkaline electrolytic water hydrogen production device reach the appropriate temperature as soon as possible, shorten the start-up time of the electrolytic tank, and improve the energy utilization rate.
