Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to refrigeration and low temperature engineering test equipment technical field especially relates to a hydrogen turbine expander rotating speed measuring device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the transformation of global energy structure to clean and low carbon, hydrogen energy becomes one of the core energy carriers to achieve the "double carbon" goal due to its zero carbon emission, high energy density and wide applicability. As the core equipment of energy conversion and regulation in the hydrogen energy industry chain, hydrogen turbine expander plays an irreplaceable role in key scenes such as aviation, aerospace, superconducting field and large air separation. The patent relates to a hydrogen turbine expander rotating speed measuring device, mainly used for real-time rotating speed monitoring and control of the rotor of the expander.
[0003] At present, the rotating speed measurement of hydrogen turbine expander mainly relies on traditional sensor technology, and adopts split design (such as external gear disc + independent probe), which needs to install speed measuring gear or reflective marker on the turbine shaft, resulting in complex structure and large space occupation. Due to the wide range of hydrogen turbine expander rotating speed, traditional sensors are limited by sampling frequency and signal processing algorithm, and it is difficult to maintain linear response in wide speed range, especially in high frequency band, which may cause signal loss or lag, affecting the real-time performance of the control system.
[0004] And there are significant defects in the special environment of hydrogen: insufficient temperature resistance and environmental adaptability: traditional magneto or photoelectric sensor may cause performance attenuation in the high pressure and low temperature environment of hydrogen energy system, and low temperature hydrogen medium may cause embrittlement of sensor material, reducing the measurement accuracy or even failing.
