The energy-saving technology and optimization plan of hydrogen diaphragm compressor can be approached from multiple aspects. The following are some specific introductions:
1. Compressor body design optimization
Efficient cylinder design: adopting new cylinder structures and materials, such as optimizing the smoothness of the cylinder inner wall, selecting low friction coefficient coatings, etc., to reduce friction losses between the piston and the cylinder wall and improve compression efficiency. At the same time, the volume ratio of the cylinder should be designed reasonably to make it closer to a better compression ratio under different working conditions and reduce energy consumption.
Application of advanced diaphragm materials: Select diaphragm materials with higher strength, better elasticity, and corrosion resistance, such as new polymer composite materials or metal composite diaphragms.These materials can improve the transmission efficiency of the diaphragm and reduce energy loss while ensuring its service life.
2、 Energy saving drive system
Variable frequency speed regulation technology: using variable frequency motors and variable frequency speed controllers, the compressor speed is adjusted in real time according to the actual flow demand of hydrogen gas.During low load operation, reduce the motor speed to avoid ineffective operation at rated power, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption.
Application of permanent magnet synchronous motor: Using permanent magnet synchronous motor to replace traditional asynchronous motor as the driving motor.Permanent magnet synchronous motors have higher efficiency and power factor, and under the same load conditions, their energy consumption is lower, which can effectively improve the overall energy efficiency of compressors.
3、 Cooling system optimization
Efficient cooler design: Improve the structure and heat dissipation method of the cooler, such as using high-efficiency heat exchange elements such as finned tubes and plate heat exchangers, to increase the heat exchange area and improve cooling efficiency.At the same time, optimize the design of the cooling water channel to evenly distribute the cooling water inside the cooler, avoid local overheating or overcooling, and reduce the energy consumption of the cooling system.
Intelligent cooling control: Install temperature sensors and flow control valves to achieve intelligent control of the cooling system. Automatically adjust the flow and temperature of cooling water based on the operating temperature and load of the compressor, ensuring that the compressor operates within a better temperature range and improving the energy efficiency of the cooling system.
4、 Improvement of lubrication system
Selection of low viscosity lubricating oil: Choose low viscosity lubricating oil with appropriate viscosity and good lubrication performance. Low viscosity lubricating oil can reduce the shear resistance of the oil film, lower the power consumption of the oil pump, and achieve energy saving while ensuring lubrication effect.
Oil and gas separation and recovery: An efficient oil and gas separation device is used to effectively separate lubricating oil from hydrogen gas, and the separated lubricating oil is recovered and reused.This can not only reduce the consumption of lubricating oil, but also reduce energy loss caused by oil and gas mixing.
5、 Operation management and maintenance
Load matching optimization: Through an overall analysis of the hydrogen production and usage system, the load of the hydrogen diaphragm compressor is reasonably matched to avoid the compressor operating under excessive or low load.Adjust the number and parameters of compressors according to actual production needs to achieve efficient operation of the equipment.
Regular maintenance: Develop a strict maintenance plan and regularly inspect, repair, and maintain the compressor. Timely replace worn parts, clean filters, check sealing performance, etc., to ensure that the compressor is always in good operating condition and reduce energy consumption caused by equipment failure or performance decline.
6、 Energy Recovery and Comprehensive Utilization
Residual pressure energy recovery: During the hydrogen compression process, some hydrogen gas has high residual pressure energy.Residual pressure energy recovery devices such as expanders or turbines can be used to convert this excess pressure energy into mechanical or electrical energy, achieving energy recovery and utilization.
Waste heat recovery: Utilizing the waste heat generated during the operation of the compressor, such as hot water from the cooling system, heat from lubricating oil, etc., the waste heat is transferred to other media that need to be heated through a heat exchanger, such as preheating hydrogen gas, heating the plant, etc., to improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of energy.
