AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing hydrogen purification equipment, the small volume upstream of the self-regulating pressure regulating valve leads to increased pressure fluctuations, affecting the stable operation of the electrolyzer and increasing compressor energy consumption.

Method used

A hydrogen buffer is installed between the hydrogen purification unit and the electrolysis gas-liquid processor. Hydrogen is first introduced into the buffer through a gas guide pipe and a three-way valve and then delivered to the hydrogen purification unit to stabilize pressure fluctuations and increase the inlet pressure of the hydrogen compressor.

Benefits of technology

This resulted in more stable pressure in the hydrogen purification unit, stable operation of the electrolytic gas-liquid processor, and reduced energy consumption of the compressor.

[0016] Please refer to the attached 1, a pressure buffer device of a hydrogen purification device, comprising an electrolytic gas-liquid processor 1, a hydrogen purification device 2 and a hydrogen pressure section 3, one side of the electrolytic gas-liquid processor 1 is detachably connected with a gas guide pipe 4, the gas guide pipe 4 is provided with a pneumatic regulating valve 41, and one end of the gas guide pipe 4 is provided with a three-way valve 42, the three-way valve 42 is connected with a hydrogen buffer 6 through a branch pipe 5, the other side of the hydrogen buffer 6 is provided with a second gas guide pipe 7, the second gas guide pipe 7 is detachably connected with the hydrogen purification device 2, the hydrogen purification device 2 is detachably connected with a third gas guide pipe 21, the third gas guide pipe 21 is provided with a self-operated pressure regulating valve 22, and one end of the third gas guide pipe 21 is provided with a second three-way valve 23, the second three-way valve 23 is detachably connected with a fourth gas guide pipe 24, and the fourth gas guide pipe 24 is detachably connected with the hydrogen pressure section 3.

[0017] The three-way valve 42 and the second three-way valve 23 are both connected with a vent pipe 8, and the vent pipe 8 is provided with a manual ball valve 81; the hydrogen buffer 6 is a hydrogen buffer tank. In the initial period of starting the electrolytic tank, the hydrogen purity is unqualified, this vent pipe 8 is used for venting the unqualified hydrogen, and when the downstream hydrogen purification device 2 does not have the gas inlet condition or has a fault and needs to temporarily stop the hydrogen inlet, the vent pipe is also used for short-term venting.
