Chapter 222 Breakthrough in Hydrogen Liquefaction

Back at the company, Tang Xiaochuan used the internal network to simultaneously contact Liu Gongyou, Wang Rui, and two highly intelligent robots responsible for the development of medical equipment and basic technology equipment. These two highly intelligent robots were named Zhang De and Qi Qiang respectively. .

The three-dimensional virtual holographic image in the office is divided into four parts, showing the figures of four people.

"Hello boss!" The four highly intelligent robots greeted Tang Xiaochuan respectively.

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Professor Liu, Professor Wang, Professor Zhang, and Professor Qi, the current level of progress in the field you are in charge of should be industry-leading, right? However, some companies in the same industry have their own unique scientific research and production technologies. If you get their key technology, will it be helpful for your research?"

Zhang De immediately said: "Of course it is helpful. We can use their technologies as a reference to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies. We can even get rid of the essence and discard the dross. If some technical details can be used for reference, we can save more money." Lots of time!"

Qi Qiang also said: "It's true that their technology has advantages and disadvantages, and they themselves know it well, but if they want to get only the essence and discard the dross, they can't do it, because they have a common research direction and a set of systems; But our side is different, our research system is different from theirs, we can only take those essences without affecting our research!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded, "You and those researchers in companies in the same industry are all colleagues. You should be very clear about what technical research results they have. You each draw up a list of the required technical names. Where are these technologies located? The company has its own uniqueness, write it clearly, I will find someone to do it!"

"Okay, boss!"

Leaks of science and technology and production techniques have always existed since ancient times. The spread of the four great inventions to all parts of the world is actually a technical leak to some extent. Many technologies from the West have also spread to the East. Could it be said that the ancients did not have a sense of secrecy? ?

Absolutely not. Sometimes you cannot guard against it. Wars, disasters, and man-made disasters may leak production technology and science and technology and spread them to other places.

In the era of peace, the biggest problem of technology leakage is the circulation of talents. Stealing technical information by means of theft is not the main problem of technology leakage. After all, every company has a strict security system and equipment to prevent someone from stealing technical information. Therefore, it is impossible for outsiders to easily steal technical information.

The circulation of talents is inevitable. People go to high places and water flows to low places. However, just because talents can circulate freely, if we want to keep leading in technology, we can only continue to invest funds and increase research and development efforts. Accelerated the further development and improvement of science and technology.

"Boss, I have something to report to you. Our research on hydrogen storage has made some progress!" Wang Rui said to Tang Xiaochuan.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaochuan immediately asked, "How far has it progressed?"

Wang Rui introduced: "The boiling point of hydrogen is minus 252.76. There are only two ways to liquefy it. One is to control the temperature below its boiling point, or to increase the pressure! It is easier to increase the pressure. The difficulty is to let the temperature If it drops below 252.76, even if it can lower its temperature below this boiling point, the cost is too high, not to mention we can’t afford it, even if it is used in practical applications, consumers will not pay for it!”

"If you increase the pressure, but hydrogen liquefaction has a critical temperature of minus 239.96. Above this critical temperature, no matter how much pressure is increased, it will not liquefy, so it can only be pressurized below the temperature of minus 239.96! Why must it be Let the hydrogen be liquefied? Because if it is not liquefied, the cost of storage and transportation is too high, and the amount of hydrogen per transportation is too small. Only liquefaction can make each transportation more, so as to reduce the cost of transportation and storage, you know what I mean? "

Tang Xiaochuan nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Wang Rui continued: "But even if the temperature is to be controlled below minus 239.96, there are still great technical difficulties, which is why until now, hydrogen has not been used as a normalized energy source in real life to serve the public. the key to success!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Did you think of a way to greatly reduce costs and control the temperature below minus 239.96?"

Wang Rui shook his head: "There is no way to reduce the cost. We have a way to control the temperature below this critical temperature, and we also have a way to increase the strong pressure. We have also developed an extremely strong container to hold it, but we still cannot reduce the cost of liquefying it! "

"So, we can only find another way. Using the principle of mutual restraint, we have developed a brand new synthetic gas. Adding it to hydrogen can change the physical properties of hydrogen and greatly increase its boiling point and critical temperature!"

Tang Xiaochuan stared wide-eyed, "To what extent can its boiling point and critical temperature be raised?"

"Minus 33.58 and Minus 14.29!"

Tang Xiaochuan couldn't help swallowing, "So, as long as we put the hydrogen container in a refrigerator, control the temperature below minus 14.29, and increase the pressure, can it be liquefied?"

Wang Rui nodded: "That's right, that's it!"

"Wait, I'll be right over!"

Tang Xiaochuan rushed to the research center immediately after cutting off the communication. He saw Wang Rui and some research staff surrounded by something like a water heater tank in the test field.

"Professor Wang!"

Wang Rui turned his head and looked, "Boss, look, this is the tank we just made to store hydrogen!"

Tang Xiaochuan came over and pointed to the jar and asked, "Can this thing withstand the pressure?"

Wang Rui smiled and said: "Don't worry about that, we have done many tests, this is a brand new solid composite material, very strong!"

This tank is connected to a tank at one end, and the machine next to it is filling the tank with hydrogen gas through a tube, and the tank is also connected to a wire.

"What is this wire for?"

Wang Rui replied: "Turn on the electricity to cool down and control the temperature. This tank is a refrigerator, and there is a tank inside to hold hydrogen. After the hydrogen with special synthetic gas enters the tank, it will increase when the temperature drops below minus 14.29." More pressure and more and more liquid hydrogen!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "How do you know that the hydrogen in the tank has started to liquefy?"

Wang Rui pointed to a computer screen on the table next to him, "Look, this is the screen inside the jar!"

Tang Xiaochuan turned his head and saw that there was a hole on the computer screen that was spraying gas. After the gas was sprayed out, it turned into white mist, and the liquid level under the tank was getting higher and higher, indicating that there was more and more liquid hydrogen!

"What's the temperature in the jar right now?"

A staff member next to him pointed to another computer and said, "Boss, this is the temperature change in the jar. Look! This jar-shaped refrigerator can reduce the temperature to minus 18 degrees at most. Now it is minus 16.25. Look at the More and more hydrogen is being filled, and the temperature in the tank is also rising! If the temperature rises to minus 14.29, the hydrogen will no longer be liquefied, and the filling of hydrogen can only be stopped at that time!"

After waiting for two minutes, Tang Xiaochuan found that the filled hydrogen no longer turned white, and the temperature in the tank was close to minus 14.29 degrees.

One worker immediately shut off the pressurized inflation equipment, and another immediately closed the valve of the liquid hydrogen tank.

"It can only go so far!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "How much hydrogen can this tank hold?"

Wang Rui replied: "About 30 liters, which is smaller than the fuel tank of ordinary cars, but the calorific value generated by hydrogen combustion is much greater than that of gasoline, so if it is used to replace gasoline as a car power It's totally doable!"

Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and asked: "If this jar is to keep the temperature below minus 14.29 degrees, how much power will it consume every day? How long can our current solid-state batteries last?"

Wang Rui smiled and said: "This small refrigerator tank only needs one kilowatt-hour of electricity to run for a whole day, and the solid-state battery with the smallest storage capacity developed by our company can keep it running for at least two months, so there is no difficulty and pressure at all in the car. !"

Tang Xiaochuan was relieved after hearing this, "There is another question, how safe is it? For example, after a car accident or collision, how likely is the can to burst, and will it explode?"

Wang Rui said: "The hydrogen tank is wrapped inside the refrigerator tank. Generally speaking, even if it is hit, it is the outer refrigerator tank that bears the greatest force. The refrigerator tank is basically very strong. It is more rigid, and the direct rupture of the hydrogen tank is less likely to happen!"

"Moreover, it is like a fuel tank, which is generally not installed on the front and rear of the car. To make it safer, we can use special materials to make crash barriers around it to protect it. This can make the blueprint The car company conducts experiments to minimize the force of the impact, and based on its own ability to withstand, there should be no problem!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Yes, the anti-collision test must be done, and it must be done thousands or tens of thousands of times to ensure that it will be intact no matter how fast it is or what kind of car accident occurs! This is not Just kidding, if the gasoline tank is broken, only oil will flow out, if the tank is broken, once the hydrogen gas in it leaks out, the explosion will blow up a large area!"

"So the complete question of this thing is the top priority!"

Wang Rui promised: "Don't worry, boss, we will continue to study storage materials, and we will continue to study how to improve the utilization efficiency and manufacturing process of hydrogen energy, reduce the cost of producing it, and make it affordable for everyone!"
