[0019] The terminology used in the following embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions “a,” “an,” “the,” “the,” “the,” and “this” are intended to include the plural expressions as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application refers to any or all possible combinations including one or more of the listed items.
[0020] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. In the field of energy utilization, the efficient use of industrial waste heat and renewable energy is of great significance for achieving energy conservation and emission reduction goals. The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), as a mature medium- and low-temperature thermal energy utilization technology, relies heavily on the selection of the working fluid for its system performance.
[0021] In related technologies, working fluid selection mainly relies on empirical judgment and lacks a systematic evaluation method, making it difficult to find the optimal working fluid for heat sources with different temperature ranges. Existing research shows that the critical temperature of the working fluid is closely related to system efficiency, but determining a suitable temperature criterion remains a key issue in working fluid selection.
[0022] This application is mainly applied to industrial waste heat recovery and renewable energy power generation scenarios, such as waste heat utilization in industries like steel and chemicals, as well as solar and geothermal power generation systems. In these applications, the heat source temperature range is wide, and the selection of the working fluid directly affects the system's economy and environmental adaptability. To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an ORC working fluid screening method, system, medium, and product based on the critical temperature criterion. An embodiment is described below in conjunction with... Figure 1 The ORC working fluid screening method based on the critical temperature criterion in the embodiments of this application is described as follows: Please see Figure 1This is a flowchart illustrating an ORC working fluid screening method based on the critical temperature criterion in an embodiment of this application.
[0023] S101. Determine the temperature range of the heat source for the ORC system.
[0024] Specifically, the heat source can be industrial waste heat, such as excess heat generated during factory production, or renewable energy heat, such as heat converted from solar or wind power. For industrial waste heat, its temperature range can be measured by installing temperature sensors at the waste heat emission outlet of the factory; for renewable energy heat, the temperature range can be determined based on the operating parameters of the corresponding energy collection device.
[0025] S102. Based on the temperature range of the heat source, set the critical temperature criterion and pre-select the working fluid.
[0026] Among them, the critical temperature criterion satisfies ,and Approaching but not higher ,in, The critical temperature of the working fluid. The temperature of the heat source. This is the condensation temperature.
[0027] Specifically, the pre-selected working fluid can be a single organic working fluid, such as R245fa, a common organic working fluid with good thermophysical properties; or it can be a mixture of organic working fluids, such as a mixture of R134a and R227ea in a certain proportion. The determination of the organic working fluid requires comprehensive consideration of thermophysical performance compatibility, environmental friendliness, chemical stability, safety, and economic flexibility. For example, in terms of environmental friendliness, working fluids with low ozone layer depletion and low greenhouse potential should be selected; in terms of safety, flammable, explosive, and highly toxic working fluids should be avoided.
[0028] The system first establishes a working fluid database based on molecular weight and critical parameters to obtain a list of candidate working fluids. Information such as the molecular weight and critical parameters of various organic working fluids can be collected and stored in the database. Then, based on the candidate working fluid list, the specific heat capacity to latent heat of vaporization ratio of the working fluid is analyzed to obtain working fluid heat transfer characteristic data. Finally, based on the degree of matching between the working fluid heat transfer characteristic data and the heat source temperature, pre-selected working fluids that meet the critical temperature criterion are obtained. For example, if the heat source temperature is high, a working fluid with good heat transfer characteristics and the ability to adapt to high temperatures is selected.
[0029] In some embodiments, the system establishes a multi-dimensional working fluid evaluation system. In addition to the working fluid database, it also includes a working fluid property parameter table, a thermodynamic performance table, and an environmental indicator table, recording the basic physical properties, thermodynamic parameters, and environmental impact indicators of the working fluid, respectively. A support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is used to construct a working fluid performance prediction model, establishing the mapping relationship between working fluid property parameters and thermodynamic performance, and between operating parameters and system performance, thereby achieving intelligent prediction and evaluation of the performance of pre-selected working fluids.
[0030] S103. Calculate the corresponding integral temperature difference of the evaporator based on the pre-selected working fluid.
[0031] Specifically through the formula Calculations are performed, in which, The integral temperature difference of the evaporator. The total heat exchanged during the heat exchange process. The temperature of the heat medium. The temperature of the cold medium is denoted as ΔT. In practical calculations, the total heat exchange can be calculated by measuring the temperatures of the hot and cold media at the inlet and outlet of the evaporator, combined with the heat balance principle of the heat exchanger, and then the integral temperature difference of the evaporator can be calculated. Furthermore, the system arranges ambient temperature sensors around the temperature measurement points at the evaporator inlet and outlet, and considers the thickness and thermal conductivity of the pipe insulation layer to establish a heat loss compensation model: ΔT 补偿 =k1(T 环境 -T 测量 The formula is: k1 + k2(δ / λ), where k1 is the ambient temperature influence coefficient, k2 is the insulation characteristic coefficient, δ is the insulation layer thickness, and λ is the thermal conductivity of the insulation material. The system uses this model to correct the measured temperature in real time, ensuring the accuracy of the heat exchange calculation.
[0032] To improve the system's adaptability to heat source temperature fluctuations, this application establishes a heat source characteristic analysis system, including a temperature fluctuation model. The system models the periodic changes in heat source temperature using methods such as Fourier analysis, for example, the fluctuation pattern of waste heat temperature in a steel plant within the range of 120℃-150℃. Based on the temperature fluctuation model, the system automatically divides the operating conditions into high-temperature, medium-temperature, and low-temperature segments. For different temperature ranges, a working fluid mixing optimization system is constructed. For example, in the high-temperature segment, the mixing ratio of R227ea is increased to improve heat transfer efficiency, while in the low-temperature segment, the ratio of R134a is increased to ensure sufficient heat exchange. The system collects parameters such as temperature and pressure through an online monitoring module, the evaluation feedback module calculates the current integral temperature difference and heat exchange efficiency, and the optimization execution module adjusts the working fluid ratio accordingly to achieve dynamic optimization of the evaporator's heat exchange performance.
[0033] S104. Based on the linear relationship between the integral temperature difference of the evaporator and the evaporator loss, and combined with the thermodynamic properties, economic performance and environmental adaptability of the pre-selected working fluid, determine the target working fluid.
[0034] Specifically, the system first establishes a linear fitting equation based on evaporator integral temperature difference and evaporator loss data to obtain a loss prediction model. A large amount of evaporator integral temperature difference and loss data under different operating conditions can be collected, and linear fitting is performed using mathematical methods such as the least squares method. Then, the system thermal efficiency is calculated based on the loss prediction model, obtaining the thermodynamic performance data of each working fluid. Based on the thermodynamic performance data and working fluid market prices, economic evaluation results are obtained, such as comparing the costs required for different working fluids to achieve the same thermal efficiency. Based on the thermodynamic performance data and economic evaluation results, a preliminary list of working fluids is determined. Finally, an environmental impact assessment is conducted based on the preliminary list of working fluids, such as assessing the carbon emissions of the working fluids, ultimately yielding the final target working fluid.
[0035] In the above embodiments, a working fluid screening method based on the critical temperature criterion is established to systematically evaluate and select the working fluid. First, the system heat source temperature range is determined, and a critical temperature criterion is set for preliminary screening. Then, the working fluid is quantitatively evaluated through evaporator integral temperature difference calculation and loss prediction model. Finally, the optimal working fluid is determined by comprehensively considering thermal performance, economic efficiency, and environmental impact.
[0036] In the above embodiments, a systematic screening of working fluids was achieved through the critical temperature criterion and integrated temperature difference analysis. However, in practical applications, experimental verification is required to validate the reliability of the screening method. To further improve the accuracy and practicality of working fluid screening, this application also provides another ORC working fluid screening method based on the critical temperature criterion. The following is a combination of... Figure 2 Another ORC working fluid screening method based on the critical temperature criterion is described in the embodiments of this application: Please see Figure 2 This is another flowchart illustrating an ORC working fluid screening method based on the critical temperature criterion in an embodiment of this application.
[0037] S201. Set the heater power according to the preset heat source simulation requirements to obtain a stable heat source temperature.
[0038] Specifically, a thermal oil electric heater is used as the heat source simulation device, and the temperature of the thermal oil is controlled by adjusting the input power of the heater. For example, if it is necessary to simulate 120°C of industrial waste heat, the heater power is set at an appropriate level to stabilize the thermal oil temperature at around 120°C. To ensure temperature stability, a temperature sensor can be installed on the heater for real-time monitoring and feedback control.
[0039] S202. Adjust the flow rate of the heat transfer oil based on the heat source temperature to obtain the target heat exchange.
[0040] Specifically, the flow rate is controlled by adjusting the speed of the heat transfer oil circulation pump, thereby achieving the expected heat exchange. The flow rate of the heat transfer oil can be measured by a flow meter, and the actual heat exchange can be calculated by combining this with the inlet and outlet temperature difference measured by a temperature sensor. If the actual heat exchange deviates from the target value, the flow rate is adjusted to correct for this deviation until the desired effect is achieved.
[0041] S203. Based on the operating parameters of the target heat exchange control system, the optimal heat transfer process is obtained.
[0042] Specifically, system operating parameters include working fluid flow rate, evaporation pressure, and superheat. Adjusting these parameters can optimize the heat transfer process and improve heat exchange efficiency. For example, the working fluid flow rate can be changed by adjusting the speed of the working fluid circulation pump, the evaporation pressure can be controlled by adjusting the expansion valve opening, and the superheat can be controlled by adjusting the heater power. After completing the commissioning of the heat source simulation system, the temperature range of the system under different operating conditions is measured and recorded, providing an experimental basis for subsequent working fluid selection. For example, the system's operating data at different temperature levels can be obtained by changing the heater power.
[0043] In the above embodiments, a controllable experimental environment was established by simulating the actual heat source using a thermal oil electric heater, which can accurately simulate the characteristics of the heat source within different temperature ranges. By precisely controlling the heater power, thermal oil flow rate, and system operating parameters, the stability and reliability of the heat source simulation were ensured.
