Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermochemical energy storage, and relates to a dual-medium thermochemical energy storage system and method. Background Art

[0002] During the actual operation of a thermochemical reactor, we often face a rather intractable problem, that is, the poor thermal conductivity of the materials inside the thermochemical reactor. This characteristic of the materials themselves greatly limits the heat exchange efficiency during the heat storage and heat release processes of the thermochemical reactor.

[0003] In the design of traditional thermochemical reactors, the heat storage process usually relies on electric heating rods to achieve. As a common heating method, the working principle of electric heating rods is to convert electrical energy into heat energy, thereby heating and raising the temperature of the materials in the reactor to complete the heat storage operation. However, the function of electric heating rods is relatively single, and it can only play the role of heating and heat storage, and cannot play a role during the heat release process.

[0004] Correspondingly, during the heat release process, traditional thermochemical reactors generally use heat exchange tubes to transfer the heat released by the materials. Due to its specific structure and material, the heat exchange tube can achieve heat exchange to a certain extent, conduct the heat generated by the materials in the reactor to the outside to meet the heat utilization or emission requirements of subsequent processes. However, similarly, the heat exchange tube also has limitations in function. It mainly focuses on heat transfer during heat release and cannot participate in the work during the heat storage stage.

[0005] This design method of relying on electric heating rods for heat storage, heat exchange tubes for heat release, and the two cannot be used interchangeably brings a significant drawback, that is, the heat exchange areas during both the heat storage and heat release processes are very limited. During heat storage, since heat transfer only relies on the limited area around the electric heating rods, the diffusion and storage speed of heat in the materials are slow, making it difficult to complete the heat storage task quickly and efficiently; while during heat release, the heat exchange area of the heat exchange tube is limited, resulting in the heat released by the materials not being transferred out in a timely and sufficient manner, easily causing heat accumulation in the reactor, which not only affects the heat release efficiency but may also have an adverse impact on the safe operation of the reactor, thus leading to a low heat exchange efficiency of the thermochemical reactor. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and provide a dual-medium thermochemical energy storage system and method, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the thermochemical reactor.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention discloses a dual-medium thermochemical energy storage system, including a first regulating valve, a gas storage tank, a thermochemical reactor, a blower, a steam drum, a feed water pump, and a circulating water pump;

[0008] The first regulating valve is connected to the inlet of the gas storage tank through a fan and an electric heater. The outlet of the gas storage tank is connected to the inlet of the heat exchange tubes in the thermal chemical reactor. The outlet of the heat exchange tubes in the thermal chemical reactor is divided into two paths. One path is connected to the inlet of the fan, and the other path is connected to the inlet of the shell side of the steam drum. The bottom outlet of the shell side of the steam drum and the outlet of the feed water pump are connected to the inlet of the circulating water pump through a pipe and a combined pipe. The outlet of the circulating water pump is connected to the inlet of the heat exchange tubes in the thermal chemical reactor. The shell side outlet of the thermal chemical reactor is connected to the tube side of the steam drum. The inlet of the tube side of the thermal chemical reactor is connected with a drain pipe, and a drain valve is provided on the drain pipe.

[0009] The further improvement of the dual-medium thermal chemical energy storage system of the present invention lies in:

[0010] Further, the outlet of the gas storage tank is connected to the inlet of the heat exchange tubes in the thermal chemical reactor through a second regulating valve.

[0011] Further, the outlet of the heat exchange tubes in the thermal chemical reactor is divided into two paths. One path is connected to the inlet of the fan through a first switching valve, and the other path is connected to the inlet of the shell side of the steam drum through a fourth switching valve.

[0012] Further, the shell side outlet of the thermal chemical reactor is connected to the tube side of the steam drum through a second switching valve and a third switching valve.

[0013] Further, the shell side outlet of the steam drum is connected to a fourth regulating valve.

[0014] Further, the shell side outlet of the steam drum is connected to the pipe between the second switching valve and the third switching valve through a third regulating valve.

[0015] Further, the thermal chemical reactor is a shell-and-tube type thermal chemical reactor.

[0016] The present invention discloses a dual-medium thermal chemical energy storage method, which includes the following steps:

[0017] Heat storage process: Open the first regulating valve, start the fan and the electric heater. The high-temperature gas first enters the gas storage tank for pressure boosting. When the pressure is greater than the set value P1, then open the second regulating valve and the first switching valve, close the fourth switching valve and the drain valve. The high-temperature gas enters the heat exchange tubes in the thermal chemical reactor to release heat, and the low-temperature gas after heat release returns to the inlet of the fan for circulation; Open the second switching valve and the third switching valve. The decomposed steam in the thermal chemical reactor enters the tube side of the steam drum and is discharged after condensation. During the heat storage process, the second regulating valve is used to control the pressure of the gas storage tank and the air intake into the heat exchange tubes in the thermal chemical reactor;

[0018] Heat release process: Close the second regulating valve, drain valve, first switching valve and third switching valve, open the fourth switching valve, start the circulating water pump, the circulating water enters the heat exchange tubes in the thermochemical reactor, and the generated steam enters the steam drum. When the pressure P1 in the steam drum is greater than the set value, open the fourth regulating valve. When the material temperature T1 in the thermochemical reactor is less than the set value Tb, open the third regulating valve. Part of the steam in the steam drum enters the thermochemical reactor to react with the material and release heat. When the material temperature in the thermochemical reactor is lower than the set value Tc, or the steam generated by the thermochemical reactor cannot meet the user's demand, the heat release stops;

[0019] A further improvement of the dual-medium thermochemical energy storage method described in the present invention lies in:

[0020] Furthermore, during the heat storage process, set the material temperature in the thermochemical reactor as T1. When T1 is greater than the set value Ta, it is considered that the heat storage is completed. At this time, the system heat storage Q = a1m1ΔT1 + m1h + a2m2ΔT2, where a1 is the specific heat of the material in the thermochemical reactor, m1 is the mass of the material in the thermochemical reactor, h is the chemical heat of the material, a2 is the specific heat of the hot water in the steam drum, m2 is the mass of the hot water in the steam drum, and T2 is the temperature of the hot water in the steam drum.

[0021] Furthermore, during the heat release process, the opening degree of the third regulating valve is inversely proportional to the material temperature rising rate, a3 / k1 = dT1 / dt, where a3 is the proportionality coefficient and k1 is the opening degree of the third regulating valve.

[0022] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] When the dual-medium thermochemical energy storage system and method described in the present invention are specifically operated, during the heat storage process, start the fan and the electric heater. The high-temperature gas first enters the gas storage tank for pressure boosting, and then enters the heat exchange tubes in the thermochemical reactor to release heat. The low-temperature gas after heat release returns to the inlet of the fan for circulation; during the heat release process, start the circulating water pump, the circulating water enters the heat exchange tubes in the thermochemical reactor, and the generated steam enters the steam drum. That is, the high-temperature gas passes through the heat exchange tubes during the heat storage process, and water passes through during the heat release process, which greatly increases the heat exchange area of the overall reactor and further improves the heat exchange power, with extremely strong practicability.

[0043] Embodiment III

[0044] The present invention discloses a dual-medium thermochemical energy storage method, which is realized based on the dual-medium thermochemical energy storage system. The dual-medium thermochemical energy storage system includes a first regulating valve 1, a fan 2, an electric heater 3, a gas storage tank 4, a second regulating valve 5, a thermal chemical reactor 6, a heat exchange tube 6.1, a first switching valve 7, a second switching valve 8, a third switching valve 9, a steam drum 10, a third regulating valve 11, a circulating water pump 12, a fourth switching valve 13, a fourth regulating valve 14, a feed water pump 15, and a drain valve 16. The specific connection relationship is as shown in Embodiment II.

[0045] Specifically, the dual-medium thermochemical energy storage method includes the following steps:

[0046] Heat storage process: Open the first regulating valve 1, start the fan 2 and the electric heater 3. The high-temperature gas first enters the gas storage tank 4 to boost the pressure. When the pressure is greater than the set value P1, open the second regulating valve 5 and the first switching valve 7, close the fourth switching valve 13 and the drain valve 16. The high-temperature gas enters the heat exchange tubes 6.1 in the thermochemical reactor 6 to release heat. The low-temperature gas after heat release returns to the inlet of the fan 2 for circulation. Open the second switching valve 8 and the third switching valve 9. The steam decomposed in the thermochemical reactor 6 enters the tube side of the steam drum 10 and is discharged after condensation. During the heat storage process, use the second regulating valve 5 to control the pressure of the gas storage tank 4 and the air intake volume into the heat exchange tubes 6.1 in the thermochemical reactor 6. Set the material temperature in the thermochemical reactor 6 as T1. When T1 is greater than the set value Ta, it is considered that the heat storage is completed. At this time, the system heat storage Q = a1m1ΔT1 + m1h + a2m2ΔT2, where a1 is the specific heat of the material in the thermochemical reactor 6, m1 is the mass of the material in the thermochemical reactor 6, h is the chemical heat of the material, a2 is the specific heat of the hot water in the steam drum 10, m2 is the mass of the hot water in the steam drum 10, and T2 is the temperature of the hot water in the steam drum 10;

[0047] Heat release process: Close the second regulating valve 5, the drain valve 16, the first switching valve 7 and the third switching valve 9. Open the fourth switching valve 13 and start the circulating water pump 12. The circulating water enters the heat exchange tubes 6.1 in the thermochemical reactor 6, and the generated steam enters the steam drum 10. When the pressure P1 of the steam drum 10 is greater than the set value, open the fourth regulating valve 14. When the material temperature T1 in the thermochemical reactor 6 is less than the set value Tb, open the third regulating valve 11. Part of the steam in the steam drum 10 enters the thermochemical reactor 6 to react with the material and release heat. The opening degree of the third regulating valve 11 is inversely proportional to the material temperature rising rate, that is, a3 / k1 = dT1 / dt, where a3 is the proportionality coefficient and k1 is the opening degree of the third regulating valve 11. When the material temperature in the thermochemical reactor 6 is lower than the set value Tc, or the steam generated by the thermochemical reactor 6 cannot meet the user's demand, the heat release stops;

[0048] During the heat release process, the water level of the steam drum 10 is adjusted by the feed water pump 15. When the water level of the steam drum 10 is lower than the set value, start the feed water pump 15 to supplement the water level in the steam drum 10 to normal.

[0049] After the heat release process is completed, to avoid the hot air heat exchange of the stored water in the heat exchange tubes 6.1 in the thermochemical reactor 6 during the heat storage process, open the drain valve 16 to discharge the stored water in the heat exchange tubes 6.1.

[0050] It should be noted that the present invention designs a partition type thermochemical reactor 6. The high-temperature gas flows through the heat exchange tubes 6.1 during the heat storage process, and water flows through during the heat release process, which greatly increases the heat exchange area of the overall reactor and further improves the heat exchange power;

[0051] In addition, heat exchange tubes 6.1 are arranged inside the steam drum 10 of the present invention to recover the steam energy released during the heat storage process, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of heat. In addition, during the heat release process, the steam drum 10 serves as both a pressure stabilizing device and a reaction gas source for the thermal chemical reactor 6.
