The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application will be understood in specific cases by those of ordinary skill in the art.
In addition, the technical features of the different embodiments of the present application described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.
The embodiment provides a high-flow hydrogenation machine testing system, which is shown in fig. 1 and comprises an air source 1, a discharge pipeline 2 and a flame arrester 3. The gas source 1 is connected with a first end of the hydrogenation machine to be tested, and the gas source 1 is used for providing injection gas with at least three pressure levels to the hydrogenation machine to be tested, wherein the pressure of the lowest pressure level is greater than or equal to 35Mpa; the hydrogenation machine to be tested is used for adding hydrogen for the simulated vehicle. The relief pipeline 2 is connected with the second end of the hydrogenation machine to be tested, and the relief pipeline 2 is used for reducing the pressure of the relief gas at the second end of the hydrogenation machine to be tested to be approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure. The flame arrester 3 is connected with the discharge pipeline 2 and receives gas discharged by the discharge pipeline 2.
At present, key points to be considered by a high-flow hydrogenation machine testing system include: high-flow hydrogen flow and direct high-flow discharge are realized between a high-pressure gas source and a simulated low-pressure loaded hydrogen storage bottle (simulated vehicle). According to the scheme, at least three gas sources with pressure levels are utilized to inject gas into the hydrogenation machine to be tested, the pressure of the lowest pressure level is greater than or equal to 35Mpa, so that the high-flow hydrogen between the high-pressure gas source and the simulated low-pressure loaded hydrogen storage bottle can be realized, the pressure of the discharge gas at the second end of the hydrogenation machine to be tested is reduced to be approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure through the discharge pipeline 2, and then the gas can be directly discharged to the flame arrester 3, and the high-flow direct discharge can be realized.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, in the testing system of the high-flow hydrotreater provided by the embodiment of the application, the relief pipeline 2 includes a stop valve 21, a pressure relief element 22 and a check valve 23, where: one end of the stop valve 21 is connected with the second end of the hydrogenation machine to be detected; one end of the pressure relief element 22 is connected with the other end of the stop valve 21; one end of the one-way valve 23 is connected with the other end of the pressure relief element 22, and the other end of the one-way valve 23 is connected with the flame arrester 3. The scheme has simple structure, simplifies the hardware structure of the whole system and reduces the hardware complexity of the system. Further, the pressure relief element 22 includes an orifice plate or a back pressure valve, which is shown by way of example as a conventional device, which is convenient for installation and use and has low cost.
In some aspects, as shown in FIG. 2, the high flow hydrotreater test system further includes a first pressure sensor 41, a second pressure sensor 42, and a controller 50. The first pressure sensor 41 is disposed at a first end of the to-be-detected hydrogenation machine, and is configured to detect an injection gas pressure value of the to-be-detected hydrogenation machine; the second pressure sensor 42 is disposed at the second end of the to-be-detected hydrogenation machine, and is configured to detect a pressure value of the bleed gas of the to-be-detected hydrogenation machine; the controller 50 receives the injection gas pressure value and the bleed gas pressure value. Because the hydrogenation process is the compressible fluid transportation driven by pressure difference, the large-flow hydrogenation machine developed for improving the hydrogenation rate is mainly focused on the influence factors of the hydrogenation flow rate, including the air source pressure and the hydrogen storage system pressure, the pressure sensors are arranged at the two ends of the hydrogenation machine to be detected and used for monitoring the values of the influence factors.
Further preferably, the system further comprises a total control valve 60, wherein the total control valve 60 is arranged between the gas source 1 and the first end of the hydrogenation machine to be tested; the controlled end of the master control valve 60 is connected with the control unit of the hydrogenation machine to be tested. I.e. the total control valve 60 is controlled by the hydrotreater to be tested. The total control valve 60 can further ensure the sealing performance between the air source 1 and the hydrogenation machine to be tested, and can realize the control of the total air path.
In some embodiments, the gas source 1 comprises at least three sets of hydrogen cylinders of different pressures, and the different hydrogen cylinders are connected to the master control valve 60 by different gas passages. As shown in fig. 1, the gas source 1 comprises 2 groups of hydrogen storage bottle groups with medium and high pressure of 45MPa and 1 group of hydrogen storage bottle groups with 35 MPa. A bypass valve 11 is disposed on each gas passage, and a controlled end of the bypass valve 11 is connected to the controller 50. Thus, different pressure levels can be conveniently achieved.
In some embodiments of the high-flow hydrotreater test system, the controller 60 receives a hydrogenation flow of the hydrotreater to be tested, and adjusts the opening of the bypass valve 11 and/or the total control valve 60 according to a relationship between the hydrogenation flow and a set flow threshold. Because the hydrogenation machine to be tested is provided with a flow sensor, the hydrogenation flow can be detected. Since the present application is directed to a high-flow hydrogenation machine, that is, the hydrogenation flow rate of the hydrogenation machine needs to reach the desired value, that is, the set flow rate threshold, so if the actual hydrogenation flow rate does not reach the set flow rate threshold, the controller 60 may adjust the valve opening of the gas channel of the injected gas to be higher, and in this case, taking fig. 2 as an example, the valve opening of the gas channel of the injected gas may be adjusted in a matched manner according to the total opening of the three branch valves 11 and the opening of the total control valve 60, so that the hydrogenation flow rate can meet the requirement.
In some aspects, the controller 60 has built-in the vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage volume of the simulated vehicle and the rated operating pressure of the hydrogen generator to be tested; the controller 60 adjusts the opening degree of the bypass valve 11 and/or the total control valve 60 according to the vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage volume, the rated operating pressure, and the predicted hydrogenation period. That is, when the gas source 1 injects hydrogen into the hydrogenation machine to be tested, the rated working pressure cannot be exceeded, otherwise, safety accidents are easy to occur.
In the above scheme, the high-flow hydrogenation machine test system further comprises a warning module: the controller is used for controlling the warning module to send out a warning signal when the pressure value of the injected gas is larger than a first pressure threshold value or the pressure value of the discharged gas is larger than a second pressure threshold value; the second pressure threshold is less than the first pressure threshold. The warning module can flash for a warning lamp or a loudspeaker plays warning sounds and the like.
The effects of the above scheme will be described below using a specific example. Under a specific test scene, a large-flow hydrogenation machine with a passive pressure regulating device is taken as a simulation object (a simulation vehicle), and main parameters required by a controller are as follows: the simulated vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage volume is as follows: 140L x 8; rated operating pressure is: 35.0MPa; the maximum operating pressure is: 43.8MPa; the filling ambient temperature is: 23 ℃. By adopting the system provided by the embodiment of the application, the simulated vehicle is simulated to be filled with hydrogen for the high-flow hydrogenation machine of the pressure regulating device, and the initial state parameters of the hydrogen storage system of the simulated vehicle are shown in the table 1:
TABLE 1 initial State parameters of Hydrogen storage System
Initial pressure Initial temperature Volume of Ambient temperature
2.3MPa 18℃ 1120L 23℃
The state parameters of the simulated vehicle hydrogen storage system after the filling is finished are shown in table 2:
TABLE 2 State parameters of Hydrogen storage System after filling
Filling end pressure Filling end temperature Volume of Ambient temperature
36.8MPa 57℃ 1120L 23℃
Based on the data set forth in the above table, a fill mass flow curve as shown in FIG. 3 was obtained after this simulated vehicle fill. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the average filling mass flow rate of the high-pressure hydrogen filling system is about 6.2kg/min, and the requirement of large mass flow rate is met.
According to the scheme, under the condition of analyzing the operation working condition of the hydrogenation machine, in order to determine the influence rule and the operation characteristic of the hydrogenation machine under the condition of high flow, the high-flow hydrogenation machine test system is provided, and high-flow filling can be realized under the condition of a laboratory. The scheme of the application realizes the operation of the hydrogenation machine under the condition of large mass flow; the test requirement under the actual hydrogenation station is replaced, so that the test cost is reduced; the hardware structure of the hydrogenation machine is simplified, and the complexity of the hardware system of the hydrogenation machine is reduced.
It is apparent that the above examples are given by way of illustration only and are not limiting of the embodiments. Other variations or modifications of the above teachings will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. It is not necessary here nor is it exhaustive of all embodiments. While obvious variations or modifications are contemplated as falling within the scope of the present application.
