Problems solved by technology

However, if this system is used to complete the overall liquefaction process of liquefying normal-temperature gas to low-temperature liquid, it will cause a large heat transfer loss due to the inability to realize gas cascade cooling, and the efficiency is very low

Abstract

The invention discloses a multistage gas liquefaction plant driven by a loop multistage thermoacoustic engine. The multistage gas liquefaction plant comprises M thermoacoustic engine units and pulse tube refrigerating machine units, wherein the pulse tube refrigerating machine units are connected with the outlets of the thermoacoustic engine units in a by-pass manner; M is a positive integer ranging from 3 to 6; a refrigerating unit comprises a refrigerating machine regenerator and a low-temperature end heat exchanger; each pulse tube refrigerating machine unit comprises two or more refrigerating units; multiple by-pass pipelines are arranged between each refrigerating machine regenerator and a corresponding pulse tube, so that the refrigerating machine regenerator and the corresponding pulse tube are connected to form at least one by-pass airflow passage; acoustic power generated through self-excitation of the thermoacoustic engine has thermoacoustic conversion in the refrigerating machine regenerators; the multiple low-temperature end heat exchangers are maintained under different refrigerating temperatures; and the to-be-liquefied gas sequentially passes through all low-temperature end heat exchangers to be liquefied in a temperature stepped decrease manner. The multistage gas liquefaction plant has no moving part, and is compact in structure and high in power density; the loop structure enables the engine units to be in the traveling wave phase; the multipath bypass structure realizes gas expansion refrigeration to improve the efficiency of a pulse tube refrigerating machine; and in addition, the multistage refrigerating units reduce the gas temperature in a stepped manner to effectively reduce the irreversible heat transfer loss.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a gas liquefaction device in the field of gas liquefaction, in particular to a gas multistage liquefaction device driven by a loop multistage thermoacoustic engine. Background technique [0002] Liquefaction is the process by which a substance changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state. Since the volume of the gas after liquefaction will become one thousandth of its original volume, which is convenient for storage and transportation, some gases are usually liquefied in reality. There are two ways to achieve liquefaction, one is to lower the temperature, and the other is to compress the volume. Any gas can be liquefied when the temperature drops low enough. Therefore, how to manufacture a cryogenic refrigerator with high reliability, long life, high efficiency, and ability to cascade liquefy gas has become a concern. [0003] A thermoacoustic engine is a device that uses pipes and heat exchangers to obtain a suitable soun...
