Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to electrolytic hydrogen production technical field, especially relate to a safety detection system of electrolytic tank. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a clean energy, hydrogen energy has become an important measure of national energy transformation. PEM / alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production, as a relatively mature hydrogen production method, has attracted more and more attention. After the PEM / alkaline electrolytic tank is powered on, the reaction water will be electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen. In order to reduce the cost of the gas compressor at the gas end, the gas production pressure of the electrolytic tank is gradually increased, which will result in a higher oxygen concentration in the product gas, which may exceed the safe explosion limit.
[0003] Usually, in order to ensure safety, an oxygen-in-hydrogen and hydrogen-in-oxygen analyzer is added to the equipment for oxygen / hydrogen concentration detection in the system or test bench, but it is usually located after the gas-liquid separation tank. When the electrolytic tank works at a low current density, i.e. just after starting or when the renewable energy power generation is low, the oxygen-in-hydrogen concentration is often higher than when it works at the rated state. In addition, due to the length and volume of the system or pipeline, the oxygen-in-hydrogen / hydrogen-in-oxygen concentration test lags about 10 minutes (depending on the length and volume of the pipeline), which cannot be monitored in real time, posing a great hidden danger to equipment and personnel safety.
