Detailed Description

The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. The present embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation manner and a specific operation process are given, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a gas flow rate pressure regulating device, including a first module 1, a second module 2, and a control module 6, wherein:

the first module 1 comprises a first main pipe 11, two first manifolds 13 and a plurality of first branch pipes 12. The two ends of the first main pipeline 11 are respectively provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the two first collecting pipes 13 are respectively vertically communicated with the two ends of the first main pipeline 11 through a three-way pipe. Two ends of the first branch pipelines 12 are respectively communicated with the two first collecting pipes 13 and are parallel to the first main pipeline 11. The pipe diameter of the first main pipeline 11 is 2 times of that of the first branch pipeline 12; the two first collecting pipes 13 and the first main pipeline 11 have the same pipe diameter. The number of the first branch pipes 12 is generally 2-6, and preferably 4. A main flow regulating valve 14 and a one-way valve 3 are arranged on the first main pipeline 11, and a secondary flow regulating valve 15 and the one-way valve 3 are arranged on the first branch pipeline 12; the maximum controllable flow of the main flow regulating valve 14 is generally 2-3 times of that of the secondary flow regulating valve 15.

The second module 2 comprises a second main pipe 21, two second manifolds 23 and a plurality of second branch pipes 22. Two ends of the second main pipeline 21 are respectively provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the two second collecting pipes 23 are respectively vertically communicated with two ends of the second main pipeline 21 through three-way pipes. The two ends of the second branch pipes 22 are respectively communicated with the two second collecting pipes 23 and are parallel to the second main pipe 21. The pipe diameter of the second main pipeline 21 is 3 times that of the second branch pipeline 22; the two second collecting pipes 23 and the second main pipeline 21 have the same pipe diameter. The number of the second branch pipes 22 is generally 2-6, and preferably 4 in this embodiment. A main pressure regulating valve 24 is arranged on the second main pipeline 21, and a secondary pressure regulating valve 25 is arranged on the second branch pipeline 22; the kv value of the main pressure regulating valve 24 is 5-8 times of that of the secondary pressure regulating valve 25.

The control module 6 is a conventional computer system for connecting the primary flow control valve 14, the secondary flow control valve 15, the primary pressure control valve 24 and the secondary pressure control valve 25, and executing a preset software program to achieve precise regulation.

When in use, the air inlet of the air using equipment is communicated with the air outlet of the first main pipeline 11 of the first module 1; the air outlet of the air using device is communicated with the air inlet of the main pipeline of the second module 2. To ensure the operational stability, a pressure reducing valve is also connected to the intake end of first main line 11. A first pressure sensor 4 is arranged at an air outlet of the first main pipeline 11, a second pressure sensor 5 is arranged at an air inlet of the second main pipeline 21, and the first pressure sensor 4 and the second pressure sensor 5 are both connected with the control module 6. The control module 6 adjusts the opening degrees of the main flow regulating valve 14 and the main pressure regulating valve 24 according to the target flow rate and pressure of the gas in the main pipe, and adjusts the sub flow regulating valve 15 and the sub pressure regulating valve 25 of the branch pipe arranged in parallel with the main pipe according to the flow rate.

The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

the main flow regulating valve 14 and the secondary flow regulating valve 15 have different flow ranges, and the flow ranges between the secondary flow regulating valves 15 can be the same or different; meanwhile, the main pressure regulating valve 24 and the secondary pressure regulating valve 25 have different pressure ranges, and the pressure ranges of the secondary flow regulating valves 15 can be the same or different; therefore, the range can be greatly expanded through different setting ratios, and the flow and the pressure of the gas can be adjusted in high precision according to requirements.

The control module 6 specifically includes an arithmetic unit and a controller. The first pressure sensor 4 collects the pressure of the air flow at the inlet of an application object, such as a fuel cell stack, and feeds the pressure back to the arithmetic unit; the second pressure sensor 5 collects the airflow pressure at the outlet of the application object and feeds the airflow pressure back to the arithmetic unit. Meanwhile, each flow regulating valve in the pipeline can be used for controlling the gas flow and feeding back the actual flow to the arithmetic unit. And the controller selects a flow regulating valve and a pressure regulating valve which meet the high-precision control requirement under the appropriate target flow according to the target value and the feedback data of the arithmetic unit, and performs selection and opening control on opening and closing. The flow regulating valve and the pressure regulating valve are preferably linear throttle valves, and the opening regulating range is in the optimal range. Under the working condition of small flow, high-precision pressure control is realized through the secondary regulating valve in the branch pipeline, under the working condition of large flow, the high-precision pressure control is realized through the quick regulation of the main regulating valve in the main pipeline, 80% -90% of target flow is realized, and the residual small flow realizes high-precision control through the secondary regulating valve in the branch pipeline, so that the flow and the pressure of finally output gas meet target requirements.

In the present embodiment, the air supply, humidification and pressure control of a certain humidification tank are exemplified as follows:

the gas equipment in the embodiment is a humidifying tank with a heating function. In the first module 1, a main flow regulating valve 14(MFC) in a first main pipeline 11 can control the maximum flow 5000SLPM, and the range ratio is 100: 1, 2 standard units of pipe diameter; the controllable maximum flow of the secondary flow regulating valve 15(MFC) in the branch pipeline is 2000SLPM, and the range ratio is 100: 1, 1 standard unit of pipe diameter. In the second module 2, the main pressure regulating valve 24 in the second main pipeline adopts a proportional regulating valve with a kv value of 40, and the diameter of a matched pipeline is 3 standard units; the secondary pressure regulating valve 25 in the branch pipeline adopts a proportional regulating valve with a kv value of 6.3, and the diameter of the matched pipeline is 1 standard unit.

The first main pipeline 11 is connected with an air source which is regulated to 6barg through a primary pressure reducing valve, and the opening degree of a main flow regulating valve 14 and the opening degree of a secondary flow regulating valve 15 are controlled by a control module 6 according to a set requirement; when both are fully open, a maximum controllable flow of (5000+2000 x n) SLPM may be achieved, where n is the number of first branch lines 12. And when only one of the sub flow rate adjustment valves 15 of the first branch pipe 12 is opened, the high-precision control of the minimum gas flow rate 2000SLPM is achieved below this flow rate control precision drop.

Deionized water is filled in the humidifying tank, and the passing gas can be humidified by heating and controlling the temperature. The second module 2 at the rear end thereof is used to control the humidification tank inlet/outlet pressure. According to the data acquisition of the first pressure sensor 4 and the second pressure sensor 5 and the measurement of an arithmetic unit, the opening and closing and the opening of the main pressure regulating valve 24 and the secondary pressure regulating valve 25 are regulated by the controller according to the actual inlet flow of the humidifying tank and the required control pressure, the pressure control range is 5 kPag-400 kPag, and the control precision is less than or equal to +/-2 kPa.
