【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】China’s First Hydrogen Production Equipment for Electrolysis Operating in Extreme Cold Conditions, 1200–2023
Thread Content
Looking at the decade-long development in chemical engineering technology, we praise the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point to encourage further discussion among everyone; with your participation, things will become even more interesting. [A Decade of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment] – continuous updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. Prevention first, life above all. ----------------------------------------- On October 30, 2023, Aoyang Green Energy held a delivery ceremony at its Zhucheng production facility for the first batch of alkaline water electrolysis equipment designed for green hydrogen production, which was supplied to a green hydrogen application demonstration project in the western region. This green hydrogen project will involve the construction of a hydrogen production and refueling station. As the supplier of hydrogen production equipment for this project, Aoyang will provide customized hydrogen production equipment to meet the hydrogen needs of hydrogen-powered trucks and industrial vehicles used in the project. In the later stages of this project, several larger hydrogen production and refueling stations will come online. The number of hydrogen-powered trucks and industrial vehicles in use within this project will be among the highest in the world, and Ouyang will continue to supply hydrogen production equipment as well as related services for this project. The most notable feature of the equipment delivered this time is its capability to operate continuously and safely in low-temperature conditions, tailored specifically for customers. It is the first electrolysis-based hydrogen production equipment in China to be put into operation in such extreme cold conditions. In the past, electrolytic water hydrogen production equipment was installed in extremely cold conditions in China, but it was unable to operate properly due to the challenges posed by such extreme cold. For this project, Ouyang developed customized hydrogen production equipment via water electrolysis that can operate properly at -40°C and start and stop seamlessly, thereby filling the gap in hydrogen production via water electrolysis under extreme cold conditions in China. This is of great significance for promoting the use of green hydrogen in the northwestern regions, where wind and solar energy are abundant but climate conditions are harsh.
Ouyang Green Energy has introduced hydrogen production equipment for alkaline electrolysis with a capacity of 2000 Nm³, named “Kunpeng 2000” and “Qingniao #1”, as well as large-capacity on-board liquid hydrogen tanks. The newly released “Kunpeng 2000” not only sets a new record in terms of hydrogen production volume, but also achieves new advancements in safety, service life, and cost-efficiency thanks to its strong research capabilities. ““Blue Bird #1” is the second new product that Ouyang has brought this time. This on-vehicle liquid hydrogen tank features a lightweight design, with a hydrogen storage density of over 10wt%. Thanks to optimized system integration, its driving range exceeds 1,000 kilometers, breaking through the previous limitations on the operational radius of hydrogen-powered trucks and greatly expanding the range of applications for such trucks. Furthermore, in terms of cost-effectiveness and safety, thanks to its innovative design, “Bluebird #1” also reaches first-class standards in the market. Both of these products are integrated into Aoyang’s smart energy management system, which uses intelligent simulation and monitoring of sensors to detect abnormalities and enable proactive control. It allows for remote fault diagnosis and proactive service delivery, thereby reducing customer losses and **improving safety.
Haha, this is really great!!
This is just a humble attempt to encourage further participation from you
