Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen fuel power, and in particular to a hydrogen fuel power system and a vessel that produces hydrogen instantly. [Background technology]
[0002] In April 2018, the IMO established its Initial Strategy for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Maritime Transportation Industry, calling for a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the industry by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 levels. This was the first strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the global maritime transportation industry. Hydrogen gas is currently attracting attention as a carbon-free clean energy source and is one of the new fuels being actively developed. This has led to the emergence of the concept of hydrogen-powered ships, which are currently a hot topic in the industry.
[0003] Currently, hydrogen gas is stored on board ships as fuel mainly in the form of high-pressure gas, cryogenic liquid, solid alloy adsorption, or organic liquid. However, these hydrogen gas storage methods have several problems. For example, storing hydrogen in liquid form by total cooling to -253°C at atmospheric pressure requires the installation of an ultra-low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage tank and the associated ultra-low-temperature piping and valves, resulting in a huge initial investment. Furthermore, storing hydrogen in a high-pressure gas form (e.g., above 350 bar) requires the installation of a high-pressure hydrogen gas tank on board. However, due to limitations in materials and pressure, the current capacity per tank is limited to approximately a few cubic meters. Furthermore, due to low hydrogen storage density per unit mass and high initial investment, this method is only applicable to ships with small energy storage capacities. Furthermore, solid alloy adsorption technology is immature, resulting in low hydrogen filling and discharge efficiency, and the tendency for metals to powder, which can cause heavy metal poisoning. Furthermore, organic liquid technology has many drawbacks, harsh operating conditions, and certain toxicity hazards. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0031] Also, unless otherwise specified, in the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more than two.
[0032] 1 to 4 show a hydrogen fuel power system that produces hydrogen instantly. This system solves the problem of storing hydrogen energy for ships by realizing the instantaneous generation and instantaneous use of hydrogen gas through a chemical reaction. The system includes a raw material storage unit 10, a hydrogen gas generation unit 20, a hydrogen gas processing unit 30, and a hydrogen energy conversion unit 40, which are connected in series via a pipeline 50.
[0033] The raw material storage unit 10 is used to store a solid hydrogen production raw material 11.
[0034] The hydrogen gas generation unit 20 is used to generate hydrogen gas by causing a chemical reaction between the hydrogen production raw material 11 and the liquid raw material that have entered the hydrogen gas generation unit 20.
[0035] The hydrogen gas processing unit 30 is used to purify and process the hydrogen gas that has entered the hydrogen gas processing unit 30 .
[0036] The hydrogen energy conversion unit 40 is used to convert the chemical energy of hydrogen gas into electrical energy, mechanical energy, or thermal energy.
[0037] In the present invention, the storage of hydrogen energy is reduced by realizing the immediate generation and immediate use of hydrogen energy through the use of a raw material storage unit 10, a hydrogen gas generation unit 20, a hydrogen gas processing unit 30, and a hydrogen energy conversion unit 40, which are installed in series in this order. This not only solves various problems in storing hydrogen energy for ships, but also has the advantages of a simple structure, low power consumption, and easy replenishment.
[0038] In a specific embodiment, the raw material storage unit 10 may be a sealed, open, or semi-open area on a ship, or may be an independent storage container that meets the required capacity, as long as the environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, within the raw material storage unit 10 meet the storage requirements of the hydrogen production raw material 11. The hydrogen production raw material 11 is a mixture of sodium borohydride, magnesium borohydride, or aluminum borohydride with a catalyst.
[0039] 1 , the raw material storage unit 10 preferably includes a humidity detector 13 for detecting the humidity of the hydrogen production raw material 11 and a first temperature detector 12 for detecting the temperature of the hydrogen production raw material 11. The raw material storage unit 10 also has an air inlet 14 and an air outlet 15 for adjusting the temperature and humidity of the hydrogen production raw material 11. With this arrangement, first, humidity information of the hydrogen production raw material 11 is obtained by the humidity detector 13, and temperature information of the hydrogen production raw material 11 is obtained by the first temperature detector 12, and then the humidity and temperature of the hydrogen production raw material 11 in the raw material storage unit 10 are adjusted by the air inlet 14 and the air outlet 15.
[0040] More preferably, the hydrogen production raw material 11 for instantly reacting with seawater on board to produce hydrogen gas is a mixture of sodium borohydride, magnesium borohydride, aluminum borohydride, or the like with a catalyst. The hydrogen production raw material 11 can be in any shape that facilitates reaction, such as powder, wire, granules, disk, block, or honeycomb.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the hydrogen gas generation unit 20 includes a hydrogen gas generator 21. The hydrogen gas generator 21 includes a housing structure, a top plate structure 2103, and a liquid raw material supply pipe 2116. The housing structure has a reaction chamber 2104 used for solid-liquid reaction. One end of the liquid raw material supply pipe 2116 communicates with the reaction chamber 2104 and is used to transport a liquid raw material to the reaction chamber 2104 to undergo a chemical reaction with the hydrogen production raw material 11. Preferably, the liquid raw material is seawater. The top plate structure 2103 is provided on the ceiling of the housing structure. The top plate structure 2103 has an independent raw material supply chamber 2105 and a gas collection chamber 2106. A second raw material supply door 2109 is provided between the raw material supply chamber 2105 and the reaction chamber 2104 to allow the hydrogen production raw material 11 in the raw material supply chamber 2105 to enter the reaction chamber 2104. In addition, a porous baffle 2110 for pre-treating hydrogen gas is provided between the gas collection chamber 2106 and the reaction chamber 2104. With this arrangement, solid raw materials involved in hydrogen production by chemical reaction enter the reaction chamber 2104 through the second raw material supply door 2109. In addition, liquid raw materials enter the reaction chamber 2104 through the liquid raw material supply pipe 2116 and chemically react with the solid raw materials to generate hydrogen gas.
[0042] Preferably, the top plate structure 2103 has a box-like structure. A dividing plate is provided in the internal space of the box-like structure, and the dividing plate divides the internal space of the box-like structure into a raw material supply chamber 2105 and a gas collection chamber 2106. A first raw material supply door 2108 is further provided on the ceiling of the top plate structure 2103, for allowing the hydrogen production raw material 11 to enter the raw material supply chamber 2105. The first raw material supply door 2108 and the second raw material supply door 2109 are interlocked to prevent external leakage of hydrogen gas. In this way, by providing the raw material supply chamber 2105 and the gas collection chamber 2106 in parallel within the top plate structure 2103, it is possible to simultaneously supply the hydrogen production raw material 11 and collect hydrogen gas. In addition, due to the interlock design between the first raw material supply door 2108 and the second raw material supply door 2109, only one of the first raw material supply door 2108 and the second raw material supply door 2109 can be open, which ensures that the hydrogen gas generated in the hydrogen gas generator 21 does not leak to the outside when raw materials are replenished during operation of the equipment.
[0043] 2 , the hydrogen gas generation unit 20 further includes a nitrogen gas supply line 24. The nitrogen gas supply line 24 is used to deliver nitrogen gas to the hydrogen gas generator 21 to inactivate the hydrogen gas generator 21 with the nitrogen gas. The nitrogen gas supply line 24 is connected to one end of a first nitrogen gas supply branch pipe 241 and one end of a second nitrogen gas supply branch pipe 242. The other end of the second nitrogen gas supply branch pipe 242 is connected to the raw material supply chamber 2105 to deliver nitrogen gas to the raw material supply chamber 2105. The other end of the first nitrogen gas supply branch pipe 241 is connected to the gas collection chamber 2106. The first nitrogen gas supply branch pipe 241 is provided with a shut-off valve 2411 for delivering nitrogen gas to the gas collection chamber 2106 and the reaction chamber 2104. With this arrangement, when hydrogen is produced by a chemical reaction in the reaction chamber 2104, the shutoff valve 2411 on the first nitrogen gas supply branch pipe 241 is closed. Meanwhile, the second nitrogen gas supply branch pipe 242 is open, and nitrogen gas is continuously delivered to the raw material supply chamber 2105, thereby ensuring the safety of continuous raw material replenishment during facility operation. Furthermore, if a dangerous situation occurs during the operation of the hydrogen gas generator 21, the shutoff valve 2411 is opened to allow nitrogen gas to be delivered into the reaction chamber 2104, thereby inactivating the hydrogen gas generator 21.
[0044] Preferably, one end of the liquid raw material supply pipe 2116 located in the reaction chamber 2104 is immersed in the reaction liquid. By configuring it in this manner, if a dangerous situation occurs during the operation of the hydrogen gas generator 21, the shutoff valve 2411 can be opened to deliver nitrogen gas into the reaction chamber 2104 to increase the pressure inside the reaction chamber 2104, and the reaction liquid inside the reaction chamber 2104 can be pushed out of the hydrogen gas generator 21, thereby quickly stopping the chemical reaction.
[0045] More preferably, a liquid raw material injection branch pipe 2117 is connected to the liquid raw material supply pipe 2116. The liquid raw material injection branch pipe 2117 is installed horizontally on the ceiling of the reaction chamber 2104. The liquid raw material injection branch pipe 2117 has several nozzle heads 2114 linearly arranged to inject the liquid raw material downward. In this manner, the liquid raw material is sprayed onto the hydrogen production raw material 11 by the nozzle heads 2114 that inject downward, which not only achieves rapid mixing of the liquid raw material and the solid raw material but also realizes primary pretreatment for hydrogen gas production.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the housing structure includes an outer shell 2101 and an inner shell 2102. The outer shell 2101 is disposed outside the inner shell 2102, thereby forming a cooling chamber 2107 between the inner shell 2102 and the outer shell 2101. The cooling chamber 2107 contains a coolant for cooling the reaction solution in the reaction chamber 2104. This configuration is necessary because the chemical hydrogen production reaction is exothermic, and a large amount of heat is released during the hydrogen gas production process, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the reaction solution. The coolant filled in the cooling chamber 2107 effectively removes the heat generated during the reaction process, thereby lowering the temperature of the reaction solution. This ensures the safe and stable operation of the chemical reaction in hydrogen production.
[0047] 2, a liquid level detector 2111, a second temperature detector 2112, and a density detector 2115 are installed in the reaction chamber 2104. The liquid level detector 2111 is used to detect the liquid level of the reaction liquid in the reaction chamber 2104. The second temperature detector 2112 is used to detect the temperature of the reaction liquid in the reaction chamber 2104. The density detector 2115 is used to detect the density of the reaction liquid in the reaction chamber 2104. A pressure detector 2113 is installed in the gas collection chamber 2106. The pressure detector 2113 is used to detect the pressure of hydrogen gas in the gas collection chamber 2106. By configuring in this manner, the liquid level detection device 2111, the second temperature detection device 2112, the pressure detection device 2113 and the density detection device 2115 can obtain information on the liquid level, temperature, pressure and density during the operation of the hydrogen gas generation device 21, which is convenient for ensuring safe operation of the equipment.
[0048] 1, 2, and 3, the hydrogen gas generation unit 20 further includes a waste liquid treatment device 22 and a waste liquid overflow pipe 23. The waste liquid overflow pipe 23 is installed between the hydrogen gas generation device 21 and the waste liquid treatment device 22 and is used to overflow the waste liquid in the hydrogen gas generation device 21 into the waste liquid treatment device 22. With this installation, during the hydrogen gas production process, the liquid raw material is continuously and constantly transported into the reaction chamber 2104 through the liquid raw material supply pipe 2116 and the nozzle head 2114, so that the liquid level of the reaction liquid continues to rise. When the liquid level reaches a predetermined value, the excess reaction liquid can overflow into the waste liquid treatment device 22 through the installed overflow pipe 23.
[0049] Preferably, the waste liquid treatment device 22 includes a waste liquid collection box 2201, a waste liquid transfer pump 2202, and a waste liquid discharge pipe 2203. The waste liquid collection box 2201 is connected to the hydrogen gas generator 21 through an overflow pipe 23 and is used to store waste liquid generated in the hydrogen production process. A liquid level detection device 2205 is provided in the waste liquid collection box 2201. The liquid level detection device 2205 is used to detect the liquid level of the waste liquid in the waste liquid collection box 2201. One end of the waste liquid discharge pipe 2203 is connected to the waste liquid collection box 2201, and the other end is provided outside the ship. In addition, a waste liquid transfer pump 2202 and a one-way valve 2204 are provided in the waste liquid discharge pipe 2203 and are used to control the discharge of the waste liquid into the sea.
[0050] More preferably, one end of the waste liquid discharge pipe 2203 is connected to the waste liquid collection box 2201, and the other end is connected to a waste liquid compartment of the ship. The waste liquid compartment is used to store the waste liquid. This facilitates on-shore treatment after the ship arrives at port, and reduces marine pollution caused by the waste liquid.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 , the hydrogen gas processing unit 30 includes a dust remover 31, a dryer 32, a purifier 33, a pressurizing device 34, and a buffer tank 35, which are connected in sequence via a pipeline 50. The dust remover 31 is used to remove dust from the hydrogen gas to reduce the dust content in the hydrogen gas. The dryer 32 is used to dry the hydrogen gas to remove any adhering moisture. The purifier 33 is used to remove any adhering foreign matter, such as nitrogen gas, to ensure that the purity of the hydrogen gas meets requirements. The pressurizing device 34 is used to increase the pressure of the hydrogen gas to a desired level and transport it into the buffer tank 35. The buffer tank 35 is used for temporary storage of hydrogen gas.
[0052] Preferably, the dust collector 31 can be a commonly used dust collector such as a water tank type or a filter type. The dryer 32 can be a freeze type or an adsorption type product. The purifier 33 can be a film type or a molecular sieve type product.
[0053] In a specific embodiment, the hydrogen energy conversion unit 40 is any one of a hydrogen fuel cell, a hydrogen gas internal combustion engine, a hydrogen gas external combustion engine, a gas turbine, a hydrogen gas injector, and a hydrogen fuel boiler. The hydrogen energy conversion unit 40 is used to convert the hydrogen gas transported from the buffer tank 35 into mechanical energy required to propel the ship forward.
[0054] In a specific embodiment, there is no limit to the number of hydrogen gas generation units 20 and hydrogen gas processing units 30, and they may be one or more. When there are multiple hydrogen gas generation units 20 and / or hydrogen gas processing units 30, the multiple hydrogen gas generation units 20 and / or hydrogen gas processing units 30 only need to be connected in parallel. In this way, by increasing the number of hydrogen gas generation units 20 and hydrogen gas processing units 30, the amount of hydrogen gas generated can be increased, making it possible to meet the large hydrogen gas demand on the ship.
[0055] Preferably, there is no restriction on the locations of the raw material storage unit 10, the hydrogen gas generation unit 20, and the hydrogen gas processing unit 30, and they may be placed at any convenient location on the ship, or they may be placed together in one location, or they may be distributed across multiple locations. The hydrogen energy conversion unit 40 is mainly placed in the equipment space or propulsion pod of the ship.
[0056] More preferably, the hydrogen gas generation unit 20 further includes a controller. The controller is electrically connected to a pressure sensor in the buffer tank 35. The controller is also electrically connected to the control valve of the liquid raw material supply pipe 2116. This allows the amount of liquid raw material that enters the hydrogen gas generation device 21 to be controlled using pressure information in the buffer tank 35, thereby controlling the rate of the chemical reaction.
[0057] More preferably, the reaction waste heat removed by the cooling liquid of the hydrogen gas generator 21 can be linked to an onboard waste heat utilization system, thereby further improving the utilization efficiency of hydrogen gas. The instant hydrogen producing hydrogen fuel powered vessel includes the instant hydrogen producing hydrogen fuel powered system described above.
[0058] The process for producing hydrogen gas in the present invention is as follows.
[0059] When the hydrogen gas generator 21 is shut down, the internal region is inactivated by nitrogen gas transported through the nitrogen gas supply pipe 24, thereby ensuring safety during the initial operation of the facility. When it is necessary to consume hydrogen gas on board to generate energy, the hydrogen production raw material 11 stored in the raw material storage unit 10 is transported to the hydrogen gas generator 20. First, the first raw material supply door 2108 of the hydrogen gas generator 21 is opened, and the hydrogen production raw material 11 is introduced into the raw material supply chamber 2105. Next, the first raw material supply door 2108 is closed, and the second raw material supply door 2109 is opened, and the hydrogen production raw material 11 is introduced into the reaction chamber 2104. Furthermore, seawater is transported into the reaction chamber 2104 through the liquid raw material supply pipe 2116, and a chemical reaction occurs between the seawater and the hydrogen production raw material 11, forming a reaction liquid and generating hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas is subjected to primary pre-treatment by seawater discharged from the nozzle head 2114, and then passes through a porous baffle 2110 for gas-liquid separation and enters the gas collection chamber 2106. The porous baffle 2110 can perform secondary pre-treatment (i.e., liquid droplet separation) on the hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas that has undergone secondary pre-treatment passes through the pipeline 50 and the one-way valve 501 and is transported to the hydrogen gas processing unit 30.
[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make some modifications and substitutions without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these modifications and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
