Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solar heat pump technology and air bath gasification technology, and in particular relates to a liquefied natural gas (LNG) frost suppression and efficiency enhancement air bath gasification system and method utilizing a solar heat pump and air circulation. Background Art
[0002] Natural gas can be liquefied into a colorless and odorless liquid at -162℃ and normal pressure, which is called liquefied natural gas (LNG for short). When LNG is used as fuel or industrial raw material, it must be vaporized into a normal temperature gas state by a vaporizer with a certain amount of heat before use.
[0003] Air-temperature vaporizers use air in the atmosphere to vaporize LNG. When the temperature is low, frost and ice easily accumulate on the surface of the vaporizer, which seriously affects the vaporization capacity of the vaporizer. Therefore, two groups of air-temperature vaporizers are generally used alternately. When one group is defrosting and deicing, the other group is turned on and running. This increases the initial investment and floor space. At the same time, when the ambient temperature is low, natural defrosting is slow and difficult, and a large amount of high-grade energy is required for defrosting. In addition, during the process of air-temperature vaporizers vaporizing LNG, the moisture in the air is cooled and easily forms fog around the vaporizer, which seriously affects the ecological environment and visual distance around the gasification station.
[0004] The patent "A system and method for gasifying LNG using a solar heat pump" (patent number ZL201610067782.X) describes a system for gasifying LNG using a solar heat pump, but the technology has the following problems: 1. The ambient air is only heated by the air condenser, the air only heats up but the moisture content does not change, the phase change driving force of the water vapor in the air remains basically unchanged, and frost and ice accumulation are not suppressed from the source; 2. The ambient air is heated by the air condenser under the action of the fan and then sent to the air-temperature vaporizer placed in the atmospheric environment. The hot air dissipates quickly in the infinite space and is not enough to form an orderly airflow between the fin tube bundles of the air-temperature vaporizer, reducing the heat exchange efficiency; 3. The cold fog phenomenon around the air-temperature vaporizer cannot be solved. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects, the present invention provides an LNG frost suppression and efficiency enhancement air-bath gasification system and method using a solar heat pump and air circulation. The system uses a solar heat pump, an LNG air-temperature gasifier, an LNG preheater and an air circulation system to create the warm and dry air required for LNG air-bath gasification, thereby reducing the phase change driving force of frost on the surface of the air-temperature gasifier and fogging around it, and essentially solves the problem of performance deterioration of traditional LNG air-temperature gasifiers due to surface frost and ice accumulation and the phenomenon of cold fog generation, thereby improving the gasification efficiency and gasification economy of the LNG air-temperature gasifier.

The air cooled and further dried by the air temperature vaporizer (18) flows through the return air duct (9) and enters the air supply duct (6) to form an air circulation. After the air volume in the air supply duct (6) is stabilized, the first electric air valve (14) is closed. The refrigerant releases the heat absorbed by the heat collecting evaporator (1) from solar radiation and ambient air to the air in the air supply pipe (6) through the air condenser (3); the solar energy enters the wind hood (8) through the single-layer tempered white glass (31) on the south side and top surface of the wind hood (8), generating a greenhouse effect and heating the air in the wind hood (8); A portion of the LNG flowing out of the LNG storage tank (22) enters the air-temperature preheater (12) to absorb heat from the air in the draft pipe (5), and the LNG flowing out of the air-temperature preheater (12) is controlled to ensure that the LNG flowing out of the air-temperature preheater (12) is always in a liquid state; the LNG preheated by the air-temperature preheater (12) is merged into another stream of LNG flowing out of the LNG storage tank (22), and is input into the air-temperature vaporizer (18) for vaporization, and then enters the gas supply network (26) for supply to users after pressure regulation, metering, and odorization; When the air-temperature vaporizer (18) is under maintenance, the emergency shut-off valve (27) is closed, and the first electric air valve (14), the third electric air valve (21) and the sealed maintenance door (32) are opened to ensure the quality of air in the air hood (8).
