Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of gas turbines, and in particular relates to an indirect cooling heat exchange type zero-carbon emission gas turbine circulation system and a circulation method. Background Art

[0002] Under the background of "dual carbon" in my country's energy field, zero carbon emissions of gas turbines face major technical demands. Ammonia is a fuel with zero carbon properties. The use of ammonia fuel in gas turbines is one of the important technical paths for gas turbines to achieve zero carbon emissions. Ammonia is composed of two elements, hydrogen and nitrogen, and is an efficient hydrogen carrier. Compared with hydrogen, ammonia is easy to liquefy and can be transported and stored at low cost. my country's ammonia production ranks first in the world, and its preparation and transportation technology and infrastructure are mature. Using new energy to generate green hydrogen, converting green hydrogen into ammonia for storage and transportation, and then generating electricity with ammonia fuel or ammonia-based mixed fuel is also one of the realistic technical ways to solve the volatility, intermittency and randomness of renewable energy in my country in the future.

[0003] Ammonia is difficult to burn, has a low flame propagation speed, and has a narrow flammable boundary, which is one of the key issues facing the application of ammonia gas turbines. Hydrogen has the opposite combustion characteristics to ammonia, and the two have good complementarity and can form a mixed fuel for combustion. Through ammonia cracking technology, ammonia is cracked into hydrogen and nitrogen, and then mixed with ammonia to form a hydrogen-ammonia mixed fuel without external hydrogen source input.

[0004] One of the main ways to improve the performance of modern gas turbines is to increase the pressure ratio and temperature ratio. The increase in pressure ratio brings great difficulties to the design of gas turbine compressors. This is because as the air is gradually compressed, the air temperature and volume flow rate also increase, which makes compression at high pressure ratio more difficult, and requires a larger compressor size to achieve compression. The intercooling heat exchange technology of the gas turbine compressor is used to cool the supercharged air, which solves the supercharging problem under high pressure ratio. However, the intercooling heat exchange technology requires the input of cold working fluid, which indirectly affects the efficiency of the gas turbine cycle system. In addition, under the high temperature ratio requirement, when the gas turbine turbine plane faces higher temperature gas, it needs to do work at a higher temperature, and the turbine needs more cooling air for cooling protection. Cooling air is generally obtained from compressor extraction. The higher the temperature ratio of the gas turbine, the greater the demand for cooling air, and the more complex the cooling technology of the turbine blades, which leads to a decrease in gas turbine efficiency. The cooling technology of the turbine blades also limits the improvement of the temperature ratio. Therefore, how to control the cooling air consumption is a key problem. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose an indirect cooling heat exchange type zero-carbon emission gas turbine circulation system and circulation method to solve the problems of cooling air consumption control of turbine cooling and the inability to achieve cascade utilization of energy in the system.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution created by the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0007] An indirect heat exchange type zero-carbon emission gas turbine cycle system, comprising a gas turbine, an ammonia fuel system and an integrated indirect heat exchanger, wherein the gas turbine comprises a low-pressure compressor, a high-pressure compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine, wherein the low-pressure compressor, the high-pressure compressor and the turbine are coaxially arranged and connected via a rotating shaft, the ammonia fuel system comprises a liquid ammonia component and an ammonia cracking reactor, and the integrated indirect heat exchanger comprises a low-temperature heat exchanger, a medium-temperature heat exchanger and a high-temperature heat exchanger connected in series in sequence;

[0008] The cold end inlet of the low-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid ammonia component, the cold end outlet of the low-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the cold end inlet of the medium-temperature heat exchanger, the cold end outlet of the medium-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the cold end inlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger, the cold end outlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the ammonia distributor, the first output port of the ammonia distributor is connected to the reactant inlet of the ammonia cracking reactor through a pipeline, the second output port of the ammonia distributor is connected to the fuel inlet of the combustion chamber through a pipeline, and the mixed gas outlet of the ammonia cracking reactor is connected to the fuel inlet of the combustion chamber through a pipeline;

[0009] The air inlet of the low-pressure compressor is connected to the outside air, the air outlet of the low-pressure compressor is connected to the air inlet of the air distributor through a pipeline, the first air outlet of the air distributor is connected to the hot end inlet of the low-temperature heat exchanger, the hot end outlet of the low-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the heat exchange pipeline of the turbine, the heat exchange pipeline outlet is connected to the outside atmosphere, the second air outlet of the air distributor is connected to the hot end inlet of the medium-temperature heat exchanger, the hot end outlet of the medium-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the air inlet of the high-pressure compressor, the air outlet of the high-pressure compressor is connected to the air inlet of the combustion chamber, the gas outlet of the combustion chamber is connected to the air inlet of the turbine, the air outlet of the turbine is connected to the hot end inlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger, and the hot end outlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the outside atmosphere.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid ammonia assembly includes a liquid ammonia storage tank, a liquid ammonia pipeline and a liquid ammonia booster pump. The liquid inlet of the liquid ammonia pipeline is connected to the liquid ammonia storage tank, the liquid outlet of the liquid ammonia pipeline is connected to the cold end inlet of the low-temperature heat exchanger, and the liquid ammonia booster pump is installed on the liquid ammonia pipeline.

[0011] Furthermore, a mixer is provided on the pipeline connected to the fuel inlet of the combustion chamber, the second output port of the ammonia distributor is connected to the mixer through the pipeline, the mixed gas outlet of the ammonia cracking reactor is connected to the mixer, and the output port of the mixer is connected to the fuel inlet of the combustion chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, the heat exchange pipeline of the turbine and the gas pipeline are separated and not connected to each other, and the turbine adopts a closed cooling form, that is, the cooling air does not enter the turbine to mix with the gas.

[0013] Furthermore, the outside air is pressurized by the low-pressure compressor and then divided into cooling air and working air through an air distributor, and the cooling air accounts for 5%-15% of the total air volume.

[0014] Furthermore, in the low-temperature heat exchanger, the liquid ammonia remains in liquid state; in the medium-temperature heat exchanger, the liquid ammonia becomes ammonia gas; in the high-temperature heat exchanger, the temperature of the ammonia gas rises to the catalytic cracking working temperature range.

[0015] Furthermore, the ammonia passing through the high temperature heat exchanger is distributed into cracked ammonia and original ammonia through an ammonia distributor, the cracked ammonia accounts for 30-90% of the total ammonia, the cracked ammonia is used to provide raw materials for the ammonia cracking reactor, and the original ammonia is used to provide fuel for the combustion chamber.

[0016] Furthermore, the pressure loss of the hot working medium in the low-temperature heat exchanger is 1%-2%, the pressure loss of the hot working medium in the medium-temperature heat exchanger is 2%-4%, the pressure loss of the hot working medium in the high-temperature heat exchanger is 2%-4%, the pressure loss of the cold working medium in the integrated inter-cooling heat exchanger is 4%-6%, and the pressure loss of the ammonia cracking reactor is 4%-6%.

[0017] Furthermore, the ammonia cracking reactor is a tubular reactor or a tower reactor.

[0018] Another aspect of the present application is to provide a circulation method for an indirect cooling heat exchange type zero-carbon emission gas turbine circulation system, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0019] S1. After the liquid ammonia in the liquid ammonia storage tank is pressurized by the liquid ammonia booster pump, it enters the low-temperature heat exchanger, the medium-temperature heat exchanger and the high-temperature heat exchanger of the integrated intercooling heat exchanger in sequence. In the low-temperature heat exchanger, the liquid ammonia cools the cooling air and the liquid ammonia remains in liquid state; in the medium-temperature heat exchanger, the liquid ammonia cools the working air and vaporizes to form ammonia; in the high-temperature heat exchanger, the ammonia cools the fuel gas and the ammonia temperature rises to the catalytic cracking working temperature range; the ammonia flowing out of the integrated intercooling heat exchanger is divided into two parts, namely, cracked ammonia and original ammonia. The cracked ammonia enters the ammonia cracking reactor and reacts and cracks under the action of the catalyst. The cracking products are nitrogen and hydrogen. The ammonia cracking gas produced by the ammonia cracking reactor is mixed with the original ammonia to form a hydrogen / ammonia / nitrogen mixed fuel, which enters the combustion chamber for combustion;

[0020] S2. After being pressurized by the low-pressure compressor, the air is divided into cooling air and working air. The cooling air enters the low-temperature heat exchanger of the integrated intercooling heat exchanger, and is cooled after heat exchange with liquid ammonia to form low-temperature cooling air, which is then input into the turbine to cool the turbine. The cooling air does not enter the turbine to mix with the fuel gas, and is discharged into the atmosphere after cooling the turbine.

[0021] S3. The working air enters the medium-temperature heat exchanger of the integrated intercooling heat exchanger, is cooled after heat exchange with liquid ammonia, and forms low-temperature working air. The working air then enters the high-pressure compressor. After being pressurized by the high-pressure compressor, the working air and the fuel react chemically in the combustion chamber to generate high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas. After the combustion gas expands through the turbine and performs work, it enters the high-temperature heat exchanger of the integrated intercooling heat exchanger, is cooled after heat exchange with ammonia, and is discharged.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the indirect cooling heat exchange zero-carbon emission gas turbine cycle system created by the present invention are:

[0023] (1) The indirect cooling heat exchange type zero-carbon emission gas turbine cycle system created by the present invention realizes the efficient cascade utilization of energy in the gas turbine cycle system.

[0024] (2) The invention creates an indirect cooling heat exchange zero-carbon emission gas turbine cycle system. Since ammonia is the only fuel source, the invention realizes the ammonia cracking reaction without an additional heat source, and the fuel is ultimately a hydrogen / ammonia / nitrogen mixed fuel, thereby achieving zero carbon emissions. The presence of nitrogen in the fuel plays a diluting role and can reduce NOx emissions.

[0025] (3) In modern gas turbines, as the initial temperature of the gas before the turbine gradually increases, the cooling air consumption also increases accordingly. The cooling air volume generally accounts for about 20% of the total air volume, or even more. After cooling the components, the cooling air must be mixed with the gas to increase the flow of the working fluid in the turbine to increase the output power. However, the disadvantage of this design is that the cooling system is complex, and the heat transfer and mass transfer process of the cooling air need to be considered. The cooling air back pressure is high (for cooling the high-pressure end of the turbine, it is necessary to extract air from the compressor outlet, the extraction pressure is generally greater than 20 bar, and the extraction temperature is about 450-550℃; for cooling the low-pressure end of the turbine, it is necessary to extract air from the middle stage of the compressor, the extraction pressure is generally 10-15 bar, and the extraction temperature is about 300-400℃). The pressure and temperature of the cooling air extraction point increase accordingly, and the cooling effect becomes worse. In addition, after the cooling air is mixed with the gas, the gas temperature decreases, resulting in reduced turbine efficiency.

[0026] The present invention uses low-temperature liquid ammonia without an additional cold source to achieve a significant reduction in the temperature and consumption of gas turbine cooling air. The amount of cooling air accounts for 5%-15% of the total air volume, and the temperature range of cooling air is 60-100°C. The gas turbine in the present invention adopts a closed cooling system to reduce the difficulty of cooling system design. Only the cooling air heat transfer process is considered. After the cooling air cools the components, it is directly discharged into the atmosphere. Therefore, the cooling air back pressure is low, and the cooling air pressure can be lower than 10 bar. The cooling air can be extracted when the outlet pressure of the low-pressure compressor is low. In addition, by utilizing the characteristic that liquid ammonia vaporization requires a large amount of heat absorption to cool the working air, the efficiency of the high-pressure compressor under the high pressure ratio can be improved, and the high-pressure compressor can be made smaller in size and more compact in structure.

[0037] The air inlet of the low-pressure compressor 1 is connected to the outside air, the air outlet of the low-pressure compressor 1 is connected to the air inlet of the air distributor 13 through a pipeline, the first air outlet of the air distributor 13 is connected to the hot end inlet of the low-temperature heat exchanger 10, the hot end outlet of the low-temperature heat exchanger 10 is connected to the heat exchange pipeline of the turbine 4, the heat exchange pipeline outlet is connected to the outside atmosphere, the second air outlet of the air distributor 13 is connected to the hot end inlet of the medium-temperature heat exchanger 11, the hot end outlet of the medium-temperature heat exchanger 11 is connected to the air inlet of the high-pressure compressor 2, the air outlet of the high-pressure compressor 2 is connected to the air inlet of the combustion chamber 3, the gas outlet of the combustion chamber 3 is connected to the air inlet of the turbine 4, the air outlet of the turbine 4 is connected to the hot end inlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger 12, and the hot end outlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger 12 is connected to the outside atmosphere.

[0038] The present application discloses an indirect cooling heat exchange type zero-carbon emission gas turbine circulation system, which is an effective means to reduce the cooling air consumption by lowering the temperature of the cooling air. In this circulation system, the liquid ammonia vaporization process needs to absorb a large amount of heat. The liquid ammonia vaporization process is used to achieve a significant cooling of the cooling air and the working air, which can not only improve the cooling effect of the cooling air, but also reduce the cooling air consumption. In addition, since no external cold source is required, it is very beneficial to improve the efficiency of the gas turbine.

[0039] This application utilizes the principle of energy cascade utilization and innovatively proposes an intercooled heat exchange zero-carbon emission gas turbine cycle system, in which liquid ammonia is the only fuel source; through the liquid ammonia vaporization process, the cooling air and the working air are cooled respectively, so as to reduce the cooling air consumption and improve the compressor efficiency; the exhaust gas is used to heat part of the ammonia, so that the ammonia is heated to the catalytic cracking working temperature, and the cracking efficiency is improved; by changing the proportion of ammonia used for cracking to the total ammonia amount, the distribution ratio of the hydrogen / ammonia / nitrogen mixed fuel component is adjusted.
