Abstract

The invention discloses a method for air separation by storing cold energy of liquefied natural gas. The method comprises the following steps that: a cold storing groove is formed between the liquefied natural gas and an air separation device, wherein the cold storing groove is filled with a coolant which is used for storing the cold energy released when the liquefied natural gas is gasified; heat is exchanged by using a secondary refrigerant and the coolant; and the heat is exchanged between the secondary refrigerant and recycled nitrogen gas in a heat exchanger for supplying cold energy to the air separation. Compared with the prior art, the method for air separation by storing the cold energy of the liquefied natural gas is characterized by improving work efficiency of the device, greatly reducing the energy consumption of the device, and reducing the work cost, along with high use ratio and stable cold supply.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of applied cold storage, in particular to a method for storing liquefied natural gas cold energy for air separation. Background technique [0002] Liquefied natural gas is a low-temperature (-162°C) liquid mixture obtained by deacidification and dehydration of natural gas, which is frozen and liquefied by a low-temperature process. Its main component is methane. The liquefied natural gas receiving station needs to gasify the liquefied natural gas before it can be delivered to users. A large amount of heat will be absorbed in the process of reheating gasification and used as fuel. In theory, the cold energy that can be recovered by liquefied natural gas is 870kJ / kg. At present, most of this cold energy is released into seawater, which is not only a great waste, but also has a great impact on seawater quality. With the rapid development of liquefied natural gas, the utilization of its cold energy will be pai...
