[0027] Embodiment 1
[0028] As Fig. 1As shown, an ammonia storage device based on a granular physical adsorption material includes a tank body, a gas guide pipe, a plurality of annular fins, and adsorption particles capable of adsorbing ammonia. The tank body is composed of a tank bottom 1, a tank wall 5, and a tank top 6 connected by welding. The tank top 6 is provided with a gas charging assembly, which includes a hollow cylindrical protrusion structure, an adjusting valve 8, and an outer gas guide pipe 9. The adjusting valve 8 is threadedly connected to the hollow cylindrical protrusion structure, so that the adjusting valve 8 and the tank body are detachably connected. The outer gas guide pipe 9 is located outside the tank body and is connected to the adjusting valve 8. The inner gas guide pipe 2 is located inside the tank body and is welded to the tank bottom 1. A plurality of air holes are formed in the pipe wall of the inner gas guide pipe 2. The plurality of annular fins include a plurality of inner fins 3 and a plurality of outer fins 4. Both the plurality of inner fins 3 and the plurality of outer fins 4 are annular structures. The plurality of inner fins 3 are sleeved on the inner gas guide pipe 2 along the length direction of the inner gas guide pipe 2. The plurality of outer fins 4 are arranged on the tank wall 5 of the tank body along the height direction of the tank body. The outer ring surface of the outer fin 4 is connected to the inner side of the tank wall 5. The plurality of inner fins 3 and the plurality of outer fins 4 are alternately and spacedly arranged along the height direction. A plurality of openings penetrating in the thickness direction are formed in the inner fin 3 and the outer fin 4. The adsorption particles are filled between the tank wall 5 and the inner gas guide pipe 2. When the adsorption particles are put into the tank body, the adjusting valve 8 is removed. The adsorption particles are put into the tank body from the hollow cylindrical protrusion structure on the tank top 6, and a vibrating table vibration or other methods are used to assist filling.
[0029] The adsorption particles are suitable for adsorption particles with high specific surface area and high adsorption capacity at normal temperature and pressure as adsorption materials. In addition, according to the needs of different application scenarios, other high-performance adsorption materials such as zeolite and activated carbon can also be selected to further expand the application range of the ammonia storage device.
[0030] The thickness and the spacing between the inner fin 3 and the outer fin 4 can be adjusted and designed according to the load capacity and physical properties (such as diameter, density, etc.) of the adsorption particles to adapt to different adsorption needs. In addition, considering factors such as weight, type of adsorption material, and placement method, the fins can be designed in different shapes at different depths to enhance the flow capacity of ammonia in the tank body and ensure efficient operation of the device.
[0031] After the ammonia gas enters the tank body through the outer gas guide pipe 9, the adjusting valve 8, and the tank top 6, it enters the inner gas guide pipe 2 through the filter screen 7 and diffuses to the space around the inner gas guide pipe 2 through the penetrating openings on the inner gas guide pipe 2, so that the ammonia gas fully contacts with the adsorption particles.
[0032] The top of the inner gas guide pipe 2 is provided with a filter screen 7. The material, mesh size, thickness, and wire diameter of the filter screen 7 can be adjusted and designed according to the application scenario.
[0033] In some embodiments, the inner gas guide pipe 2, the tank body, the inner fin 3, the outer fin 4, and the filter screen 7 are all made of solid materials that are stable in the ammonia environment.
[0034] In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity of both the inner fin 3 and the outer fin 4 is greater than that of the tank wall 5. This allows the inner fin 3 and outer fin 4 to quickly transfer heat from inside the tank to the outside. Due to their high thermal conductivity, heat is conducted quickly within the fins, increasing the heat dissipation area, accelerating heat dissipation, and preventing the temperature inside the tank from becoming too high.
[0035] In some embodiments, the length of the inner fin 3 is shorter than the length of the outer fin 4, so that the adsorbed particles can smoothly enter between adjacent inner fins 3 and outer fins 4 in each layer.
[0036] like Fig. 1 As shown, the inner gas guide pipe 2 is vertically installed inside the tank and located at the center of the tank. The other end of the inner gas guide pipe 2 extends beyond the end of the tank wall 5 near the top of the tank 6, so that after the gas enters the tank, it can be dispersed to its surroundings in a timely manner through the inner gas guide pipe 2.
[0037] In this embodiment, the inner fins 3 and the inner air guide pipe 2 are welded together, and the outer fins 4 and the tank wall 5 are welded together. The two ends of the tank wall 5 are welded to the tank top 1 and the tank top 6, respectively. This one-piece molding design results in better airtightness.
[0038] Multiple ventilation holes on the inner air guide tube 2 are evenly spaced, and multiple through openings on the inner fin 3 and outer fin 4 are evenly spaced. The diameter of the ventilation holes on the inner air guide tube 2 and the through openings on the inner fin 3 and outer fin 4 is smaller than the diameter of the radius of curvature of the adsorbed particles, which prevents the adsorbed particles from passing through the ventilation holes and openings, and allows ammonia gas to diffuse evenly around the inner air guide tube 2.
[0039] The thickness of the outer fin 4 and the inner fin 3, as well as the spacing between the outer fin 4 and the inner fin 3, are determined by the size and shape of the adsorbed particles and the heat dissipation. The pore size and pore position distribution on the fins and the inner air guide tube can be reasonably designed according to the physical properties of the physical adsorption material. Each type of tank should be designed before welding. After welding, the shape parameters of the fins and the air guide tube cannot be adjusted.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] like Fig. 2 As shown, in applications where internal pressure requirements are not high, the inner air guide tube 2 and the tank bottom 1 can be connected by a detachable design using threaded connections, and the tank top 6 and tank wall 5 are connected by bolts 10 and sealed with a sealing ring for easy assembly and disassembly of the inner air guide tube 2. The tank top 6 and tank wall 5 are easier to disassemble, allowing for timely replacement of adsorbed particles and cleaning and maintenance of the inner air guide tube 2.
[0042] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
