Abstract

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs) are developing rapidly due to the decarbonization. Hydrogen On Tank Valve (OTV) is a crucial device for ensuring the safety of hydrogen storage system in HFCVs. In this paper, dynamic behavior and Joule-Thomson characteristics of flow limiter inside hydrogen OTV is investigated numerically by using dynamic mesh and UDF techniques. Realizable k-ε model and Real-Gas-Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state are used for 70 MPa hydrogen. Results show that pressure drop mainly influences the deviation from equilibrium position while spring stiffness affects the fluctuation interval. Fluid forces remain stable when spring stiffness above 4 kN/mm but fluctuate significantly at 2 kN/mm. Flow rate fluctuations are divided into two stages: flow regulation stage and steady flow stage. Joule-Thomson coefficient remains stable at specific temperatures. This study can provide references for the design of OTV and the safety of HFCVs.

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
