    耦合相变热管理的大容量固态储氢装置氢−热传输强化机理

    Hydrogen-thermal transport enhancement mechanism in a large-capacity solid-state hydrogen storage reactor coupled with phase change thermal management

    • 摘要: 利用相变材料对固态储氢装置进行热管理可以充分利用储释氢过程热量,并且可以使换热系统更加轻便紧凑。但以往相变材料均采用环绕式布局,存在径向热阻大,难以应用于大容量固态储氢装置等缺点。基于此,针对千克级储氢量的固态储氢装置,提出了一种耦合相变换热的管壳式材料装填结构,并构建了其氢-热耦合传输多物理场模型,系统研究了储氢材料空间布局、操作参数及物性参数对储氢性能的影响。结果表明:MH布置在管程时可显著增加有效换热面积并实现金属氢化物的均匀填充,吸/放氢速率优于MH布置在壳程的设计。降低工作压力或提高相变材料的相变温度可以加快放氢反应速率。而提高工作压力则是加速吸氢反应的有效手段;提升金属氢化物床层导热系数和相变材料的固态(放氢时)与液态(吸氢时)导热系数可强化传热,有助于提升反应器的吸放氢性能。本研究提出的耦合相变热管理的管壳式固态储氢装置结构,可为开发高效、紧凑的大容量固态储氢反应器提供理论指导,促进其工程应用。

       

      Abstract: Utilizing phase change materials for thermal management in solid-state hydrogen storage devices can fully leverage the heat during the hydrogen storage and release processes and make the heat exchange system more lightweight and compact. However, previous phase change material layouts typically adopted a winding structure, which suffers from high radial thermal resistance, making it difficult to apply to large-capacity solid-state hydrogen storage devices. Based on this, for a kilogram-level solid-state hydrogen storage device, this paper proposes a tube-and-shell material filling structure coupled with phase change heat transfer and constructs a multi-physics model of its coupled hydrogen-thermal transport. The effects of the spatial layout of hydrogen storage materials, operating parameters, and physical property parameters on hydrogen storage performance were systematically studied. The results indicate that arranging the metal hydride (MH) in the tube side can significantly increase the effective heat exchange area and achieve uniform filling of the metal hydride, resulting in superior hydrogen absorption/desorption rates compared to the design with MH in the shell side. Lowering the working pressure or increasing the phase transition temperature of the phase change material can accelerate the hydrogen desorption reaction rate. Conversely, increasing the working pressure is an effective means to accelerate the hydrogen absorption reaction. Enhancing the thermal conductivity of the metal hydride bed, as well as the thermal conductivity of the phase change material in its solid state (during desorption) and liquid state (during absorption), can strengthen heat transfer and help improve the reactor's absorption/desorption performance. The tube-and-shell solid-state hydrogen storage device structure with coupled phase change thermal management proposed in this study can provide theoretical guidance for the development of efficient, compact, and large-capacity solid-state hydrogen storage reactors and promote their engineering applications.
