Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste gas and fuel treatment of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), and in particular to an integrated waste gas and fuel treatment structure of a solid oxide fuel cell system. Background Art

[0002] The exhaust gas and fuel treatment device of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce harmful emissions, that is, to achieve the following two goals: 1. Waste gas energy recovery: The waste gas discharged from the SOFC stack has a high temperature. This part of energy can be recovered through devices such as heat exchangers and used for heating or other thermodynamic processes, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of the system.

[0003] 2. Exhaust gas purification: The exhaust gas treatment device needs to effectively remove pollutants in the exhaust gas discharged by the fuel cell stack, including but not limited to incompletely burned fuel components, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfides (SOx), etc. This requires the use of specific catalysts to convert these pollutants and reduce the concentration of pollutants at the system outlet to reach the emission standard concentration. The problems and shortcomings of the exhaust gas and fuel treatment devices of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) in the prior art mainly include the following aspects: 1. Thermal management issues: SOFC systems operate in high-temperature environments, and the exhaust gases from the anode and cathode have very high temperatures. How to effectively manage and recycle this heat energy and prevent thermal stress from damaging system components is currently a major challenge; 2. Difficulty in system integration: The exhaust gas treatment system needs to be closely integrated with the fuel treatment system, which requires the compatibility and coordination of the two to be considered in the design, thus increasing the difficulty of system integration 3. Many components: SOFC systems are usually composed of multiple subsystems, including fuel supply system, air supply system, thermal management system, fuel treatment system and exhaust gas treatment system, etc. This leads to a complex structure of the entire system, requiring more components to realize various functions, increasing the complexity and cost of the system.

[0004] 4. Low efficiency: Although SOFC itself has a high power conversion efficiency, in actual applications, due to the connection loss between the components in the system, heat loss and other non-ideal factors, the overall efficiency may be reduced. Especially when the exhaust gas treatment and fuel treatment systems are not well optimized, this part of the loss may be more obvious.

[0005] 5. Low space utilization: The complex exhaust gas treatment system and fuel treatment system occupy a large space of SOFC. Summary of the invention

[0025] Specifically, see Figure 5 The angle between the central axis of the flow-around inclined hole 161 and the top wall of the combustion tube 16 is 25°-45°, and the projection of the central axis of the flow-around inclined hole 161 on the top wall of the combustion tube 16 is along the circumferential tangent direction.

[0026] Specifically, see Figure 4 The first-layer uniformly distributed plate 141 is provided with a row of first-layer uniformly distributed holes in an annular shape, and the second-layer uniformly distributed plate 142 is provided with a row of second-layer uniformly distributed holes in an annular shape. The number of the first-layer uniformly distributed holes is less than that of the second-layer uniformly distributed holes, and the spacing between the first-layer uniformly distributed holes is larger than that of the second-layer uniformly distributed holes.

[0027] Specifically, see Figure 2 The aperture of the cathode exhaust gas main inlet hole 17 is larger than that of the cathode exhaust gas supplementary inlet hole 19 and the cooling mixing inlet hole 20.

[0028] Specifically, two symmetrical notches 102 are provided on the upper portion of the outer cover 10 ( Figure 1 and Figure 3 Only one of the gaps 102 is shown. A partition bar 27 is welded at the gap 102 . The two partition bars 27 divide the upper inner portion of the outer cover 10 into a fuel air inlet chamber 12 and a water inlet chamber 13 . The igniter 6 is disposed through one of the partition bars 27 .

[0029] Specifically, see Figure 3 The upper part of the fuel inlet cavity 12 is provided with an arc-shaped air equalizing sheet 122, and the arc-shaped air equalizing sheet 122 is provided with air equalizing holes. The arc-shaped air equalizing sheet 122 divides the upper part of the fuel inlet cavity 12 into an air inlet equalizing cavity 123, and the fuel inlet port 121 is provided in the air inlet equalizing cavity 123.

[0030] Specifically, see Figure 3 The cross section of the heat exchange fin 11 is in the shape of a square wave signal, and the multiple inner walls of the heat exchange fin 11 are all in contact with the outer wall of the outer tube 8 , and the multiple outer walls of the heat exchange fin 11 are all in contact with the inner wall of the outer cover 10 .

[0031] Specifically, see Figure 3 The material of the heat exchange fin 11 is aluminum alloy, the thickness of the heat exchange fin 11 is 0.3mm-0.5mm, the circumferential pitch of the heat exchange fin 11 is 2.3mm-2.7mm, and the radial height of the heat exchange fin 11 is 7mm-9mm.

[0032] Specifically, see Figure 3 The upper part of the water inlet cavity 13 is provided with an arc-shaped liquid balancing sheet 132, and the arc-shaped liquid balancing sheet 132 is provided with a liquid balancing hole. The arc-shaped liquid balancing sheet 132 divides the upper part of the water inlet cavity 13 into a water inlet balancing cavity 133, and the water inlet 131 is provided in the water inlet balancing cavity 133.

[0033] Specifically, see Figure 3 The porous metal 18 is provided with a plurality of circumferential holes, a plurality of radial holes and a plurality of vertical holes, and the corresponding circumferential holes, radial holes and vertical holes are connected inside the porous metal 18 (see Figure 2 ).

[0034] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: See Figure 2 , the anode exhaust gas (mainly hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane) enters from the upper opening of the uniform distribution tube 14, passes through the uniform holes provided by the first uniform distribution plate 141 and the second uniform distribution plate 142, and then evenly enters the combustion tube 16. The cathode exhaust gas (mainly nitrogen and oxygen) enters from the upper opening of the outer tube 8, and the cathode exhaust gas enters the combustion tube 16 through the bypass inclined hole 161, the cathode exhaust gas main air inlet hole 17, the cathode exhaust gas supplementary air inlet hole 19, and the cooling and mixing air inlet hole 20. Because the igniter 6 is arranged between the cathode exhaust gas main air inlet hole 17 and the second uniform distribution plate 142, when the igniter 6 is ignited, the main combustion area (referred to as the combustion area) is the area between the cathode exhaust gas main air inlet hole 17 and the second uniform distribution plate 142.

[0035] The cathode exhaust gas entering through the cathode exhaust main air inlet 17 is used as a combustion aid for stable combustion of the combustion tube 16. The cathode exhaust gas enters through the bypass inclined hole 161 to generate a swirl, so that the cathode exhaust gas and the anode exhaust gas are quickly and fully mixed in the above-mentioned combustion area, so that the combustion is more complete. The cathode exhaust gas entering through the cathode exhaust supplementary air inlet 19 is used to further react with the anode exhaust gas that has not been burned, so that the reaction between the two is more complete and thorough, thereby reducing the exhaust gas emission at the outlet. The cathode exhaust gas entering through the cooling mixing air inlet 20 is mixed with the high-temperature gas after combustion to reduce the outlet temperature.

[0036] The chemical energy of the anode exhaust gas and the cathode exhaust gas can be more fully released by the mixed combustion. In order to recover the heat of the high-temperature anode exhaust gas and the high-temperature cathode exhaust gas and the combustion heat of the two, an outer cover 10 is arranged on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 8, and the upper part of the inner cavity of the outer cover 10 is divided into a fuel air inlet cavity 12 and a water inlet cavity 13 by two dividing strips 27.

[0037] The fuel gas (mainly methane) is input into the intake air equalization cavity 123 through the fuel intake port 121, and evenly enters the fuel intake cavity 12 through the equalization holes of the arc-shaped equalization plate 122, and then flows from top to bottom through the surfaces of each section of the heat exchange fin 11 and enters the lower part of the inner cavity of the outer cover 10. The fuel gas flows through the heat exchange fin 11 to absorb heat and increase its temperature.

[0038] Deionized water is input into the water inlet and water balancing chamber 133 through the water inlet 131, and flows to the porous metal 18 through the balancing holes of the arc-shaped balancing plate 132. The porous metal 18 is provided with a plurality of circumferential holes, a plurality of radial holes, and a plurality of vertical holes, and the corresponding circumferential holes, radial holes, and vertical holes are connected inside the porous metal 18, so the surface heat exchange area of ​​the porous metal 18 is extremely large. The deionized water flows through the porous metal 18 and absorbs heat and evaporates into water vapor.

[0039] The fuel gas (mainly methane) that absorbs heat and heats up and mixes with water vapor to form a swirl when flowing through the mixing vane 81 and is fully mixed. They react with each other to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which are transported to the reformer (not shown) through the mixed gas outlet 101 for reforming.

[0040] The technical effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The anode exhaust gas (mainly hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane) and the cathode exhaust gas (mainly nitrogen and oxygen) are fully mixed in the above-mentioned combustion area and then ignited, so that the two are fully burned, thereby releasing the chemical energy of the anode exhaust gas and the cathode exhaust gas, so that the heat energy of the two can be more thoroughly recovered; 2. The anode exhaust gas (mainly hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane) and the cathode exhaust gas (mainly nitrogen and oxygen) are fully mixed in the above-mentioned combustion area and ignited before being discharged, which can reduce the emission concentration of the anode exhaust gas and the cathode exhaust gas, which is beneficial to environmental protection; 3. Heat exchange fins 11 and porous metal 18 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the outer tube 8. The heat exchange fins 11 exchange heat with the fuel gas (mainly methane) flowing through. The porous metal 18 exchanges heat with the deionized water flowing through, causing the ionized water to evaporate into water vapor. The heated fuel gas and water vapor reach reaction conditions and react to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This process absorbs and utilizes the heat of the anode exhaust gas and the cathode exhaust gas themselves, as well as the heat generated by the combustion of the two, so that the temperature of the mixed gas discharged from the lower end of the combustion tube 16 is reduced. Furthermore, the cathode exhaust gas entering through the cooling mixing air inlet 20 is mixed with the high-temperature gas after combustion, which also plays a role in reducing the temperature of the mixed gas discharged from the lower end of the combustion tube 16. By reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas, the damage to the system components caused by thermal stress can be reduced; 4. In the prior art, the anode exhaust gas treatment system and cathode exhaust gas treatment system of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) are two independent systems, and the fuel treatment system for producing the fuel required for the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is also an independent system. The connection loss and heat loss within each of the three systems restrict the overall efficiency of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Moreover, the three systems exist independently and take up space.

[0041] The present invention integrates the anode exhaust gas treatment system, the cathode exhaust gas treatment system and the fuel treatment system, and utilizes the heat (gas waste heat and combustion heat) of the anode exhaust gas and the cathode exhaust gas to perform fuel treatment, so that the fuel gas (mainly methane) reacts with water vapor to generate hydrogen and carbon monoxide for subsequent reforming.

[0042] Integrating the anode exhaust gas treatment system, cathode exhaust gas treatment system and fuel treatment system together can greatly reduce the original connection loss and heat loss, thereby greatly improving the overall efficiency of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). In addition, it greatly simplifies the system structure and greatly reduces the space it occupies.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in the form of preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in the field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
