Solar thermal power generation technology is a technology that uses a large number of reflectors to focus direct solar light, heat the working fluid, and generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam to drive the steam turbine to generate electricity.
[0003] In terms of natural resources, my country is very rich in geothermal resources. However, except for a few medium and high temperature hot water resources used for power generation, the rest are mainly used for building heating, hot spring health care, breeding and planting, etc. On the other hand, in the industrial and living fields, there are a large number of liquids and flue gases containing waste heat and residual heat. These heats are of low taste and quality, and the feasibility of utilization is low. With the continuous progress of social sciences and the continuous development of process requirements for industrial compressed air, some occasions often put forward requirements for temperature and pressure changes of compressed air. For example, in the field of compressed air energy storage technology, when compressed air is stored, low-temperature and low-pressure gas is easy to store; when compressed air is used for power generation, the use of high-temperature and high-pressure gas for power generation can improve the power generation efficiency.

On the other hand, the taste and quality of liquids and flue gases containing waste heat and residual heat in the industrial and living fields are not high, and the feasibility of utilization is low; most of them are discarded, which not only causes waste of resources, but also pollutes the environment.

It is worth noting that, due to the high temperatures of the third pressure vessel and the fourth pressure vessel, the work done by the isothermal expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is greater than the work done by compressing the low-temperature and low-pressure gas. Therefore, the system for power generation using liquid temperature difference provided in this embodiment uses the compression and expansion of gas as a medium to realize the utilization of thermal energy and power generation, and does not require additional high-pressure gas. Of course, the present invention includes but is not limited to this. If there is high-pressure gas or high-temperature and high-pressure gas that can be utilized in the use environment, the high-pressure gas or high-temperature and high-pressure gas can also be connected to the system for power generation using liquid temperature difference provided in this embodiment for utilization.

The bottoms of the first pressure vessel 1 and the second pressure vessel 2 are respectively connected to the tops of the first pressure vessel 1 and the second pressure vessel 2, so as to pump the liquid in the first temperature range at the bottom of the first pressure vessel 1 and the second pressure vessel 2 to the tops of the first pressure vessel 1 and the second pressure vessel 2, so as to better achieve heat exchange between the liquid in the first temperature range and the first gas.
[0049] The reversible power device in the present invention has both a power generation mode and an electric mode, and can use electric energy to reversely drive the piston rod to move. In the power generation mode, the reversible power device is driven by the piston rod to generate electricity; in the motor mode, the reversible power device can use electric energy to reversely drive the piston rod to move. The reversible power device can be composed of a linear generator or a crank generator; it can also be an electric cylinder that is a mixture of a motor and a lead screw; it can also be realized by a virtual pumped storage composed of a hydraulic cylinder, a water pump, and a water turbine.
[0050] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, in order to better achieve isothermal expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure second gas in the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4, the third pressure vessel 3 may include a third circulation pump, and the fourth pressure vessel 4 may include a fourth circulation pump, so as to connect the bottoms of the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4 to the tops of the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4, respectively, so as to pump the liquid in the second temperature range at the bottom of the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4 to the tops of the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4, so as to better achieve heat exchange between the liquid in the second temperature range and the second gas.
[0051] Heat recovery is the transfer of heat from one medium to another. The multi-stage heat exchange device is essentially a heat storage device that stores heat and exchanges heat when the gas passes through. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a multi-stage heat exchange device in a reversible power generation and heat pump system based on a Stirling cycle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3A and Figure 3B For surface heaters, Figure 3C It is a hybrid regenerative heater. The two groups of heat exchange devices are respectively composed of a plurality of water storage tanks connected in series, each of which stores relatively full water at different temperatures. The low temperature port of the first multi-stage heat exchange device 13 is connected to one of the first pressure vessel 1 and the second pressure vessel 2 through valve control, and the high temperature port is connected to one of the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4 through valve control; the low temperature port of the second multi-stage heat exchange device 14 is connected to one of the first pressure vessel 1 and the second pressure vessel 2 through valve control, and the high temperature port is connected to one of the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4 through valve control. The multi-stage heat exchange devices 13 and 14 realize the isochoric heating and isochoric cooling processes in the Stirling cycle. After one cycle, the order of the two multi-stage heat exchange devices 13 and 14 is changed by the valve, so that the multi-stage heat exchange device that heated up in the previous cycle is changed to cooling, and the multi-stage heat exchange device that cooled down in the previous cycle is changed to heating, thereby improving the utilization rate of the device.
[0052] Surface heaters connect multiple water tanks filled with water in a certain temperature range in series through exhaust pipes, so that the gas that needs to be heated or cooled does not come into direct contact with the water, and the heat transfer capacity of the metal pipe is used to heat or cool the gas. Due to the heat transfer resistance of the metal, the heated gas cannot reach the saturation temperature of the water, so its thermal economy is lower than that of the hybrid regenerative heater, but the regenerative heating system it forms is simple, easy to operate, and has a small workload. Figure 3B The pipe adopts a curved structure, which increases the contact time between the gas and the pressure vessel, making the heat exchange more sufficient.
[0053] A regenerative heater in which the heating water and the heated gas are directly mixed is a hybrid regenerative heater, such as Figure 3C As shown. In the hybrid regenerative heater, three water tanks are used to store water in a temperature range close to the full tank, and are connected in series using a gas transfer pipeline, so that the gas that needs to be heated or cooled is in direct contact with the liquid in the water tank. The advantages of this heater are good heat transfer effect, the gas temperature can reach the saturation temperature under the pressure of the heating water, simple structure and low cost; the disadvantage is that when the water tank is full of liquid, adding gas will bring out part of the water due to the presence of a certain volume of gas, which is not conducive to use.
[0054] Figure 3D It is a fixed plate and tube heat exchanger. Plate heat exchanger is an ideal equipment for heat exchange between liquid and liquid, liquid and steam. It is a new type of high-efficiency heat exchanger made of a series of metal sheets with a certain corrugated shape. Plate heat exchanger is a heat exchanger made of thin metal plates pressed into heat exchange plates with a certain corrugated shape, then stacked and fastened with plywood and bolts. Thin rectangular channels are formed between various plates, and heat exchange is carried out through half a plate. The working fluid flows through the narrow and tortuous channel formed between the two plates. The cold and hot fluids pass through the flow channel in turn, and there is an interlayer plate in the middle to separate the fluids, and heat is exchanged through this plate. The structure and heat exchange principle of the plate heat exchanger determine that it has the characteristics of compact structure, small footprint, high heat transfer efficiency, large operational flexibility, wide application range, small heat loss, easy installation and cleaning.
[0055] Figure 3E The working principle diagram of the heat transfer process of the heat storage body. The heat storage body is installed in the heat storage chamber or directly in the burner. It is one of the key components in the heat storage combustion system. The temperature benefit and thermal efficiency of the heat storage heat exchange system directly depend on the performance of the heat storage body. There are three main types of heat storage bodies: honeycomb ceramics, heat storage balls and heat storage tubes. Honeycomb ceramic heat storage bodies are currently the most important heat storage body materials because of their small size, light weight, large specific surface area, high refractoriness and large heat transfer capacity. As shown in the figure, the working principle of the heat transfer process of the honeycomb ceramic heat storage body is that when the flue gas flows through the honeycomb body, the flue gas transfers its own heat to the honeycomb body, the honeycomb body stores heat, and the temperature gradually increases; when the cold fluid flows through, the cold fluid obtains heat from the honeycomb body, and the temperature of the honeycomb body gradually decreases. This is repeated to form a non-steady-state heat transfer process. In this way, the combustion-supporting air passing through the honeycomb body reaches a predetermined high temperature, and the flue gas passing through drops to a predetermined low temperature, and the honeycomb body transfers the sensible heat in the high-temperature flue gas to the combustion-supporting air.
[0056] Preferably, if Figure 3CAs shown, in order to better realize the heat recovery of gas in the multi-stage heat exchange device, a circulation pump is added to the water storage tank of the multi-stage heat exchange device to connect the bottom of the water storage tank with the top of the water storage tank, so as to pump the liquid with a certain temperature range at the bottom of the water storage tank to the top of the water storage tank, so as to better realize the heat exchange between the liquid with a certain temperature in the multi-stage heat exchange device and the gas that needs to be heated or cooled, thereby improving the thermal efficiency.
[0057] The multi-stage heat exchange device in the present invention adopts non-simultaneous heat recovery. The heat recovery process includes simultaneous heat recovery and non-simultaneous heat recovery. Simultaneous heat recovery means that there are two heat exchange parts in the same device, one for heating and the other for cooling, and they are carried out simultaneously; non-simultaneous heat recovery means that the same heat recovery device is used to heat up first and then cool down. The two processes are not carried out at the same time and there is a sequence. Since heating and cooling are completed in the same heat exchange device, non-simultaneous heat recovery can ensure that the temperature of the heat exchange device is kept within a certain range, achieve heat recovery, and improve thermal efficiency.
[0058] Heat pump is a highly efficient energy-saving device that fully utilizes low-grade thermal energy. Heat can be transferred spontaneously from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object, but not spontaneously in the opposite direction. The working principle of a heat pump is to force heat from a low-temperature object to a high-temperature object in a reverse cycle. It consumes only a small amount of reverse cycle net work to obtain a large amount of heat supply, and can effectively utilize the low-grade thermal energy that is difficult to use to achieve energy saving. During the operation of the heat pump of the system of the present invention, the first liquid piston system is used for a low-temperature isothermal expansion process. When the gas in the first pressure vessel (1) or the second pressure vessel (2) is isothermally expanded at low temperature, the first temperature liquid flows from the first pressure vessel (1) or the second pressure vessel (2) to the first hydraulic cylinder (5), driving the first piston to move and pushing the reversible power device (9) to generate electricity; the second liquid piston system is used for a high-temperature isothermal compression process. After the gas in the third pressure vessel (3) or the fourth pressure vessel (4) is isothermally compressed, when the gas is transferred from the third pressure vessel (3) or the fourth pressure vessel (4) to the first pressure vessel (1) or the second pressure vessel (2) via the first gas piston cylinder (7) in equal volume, it pushes the first gas piston rod to push the reversible power device (12) to generate electricity; the first gas piston cylinder (7) and the second gas piston cylinder (8) are respectively used alternately for driving the isochoric heating process and the isochoric cooling process.
[0059] Figure 4 A reversible power generation and heat pump system based on a Stirling cycle with an external heat exchange implementation structure is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the interior of the dotted box is divided into an external heat exchange implementation structure. Figure 4 The system structure is in Figure 1The fifth pressure vessel 15, the sixth pressure vessel 16, the gas valves F25, F26, F27, F28 and the liquid valves F29, F30, F31, F32 are added to the structure of the reversible power generation and heat pump system based on the Stirling cycle. The lower part of the fifth pressure vessel 15 is connected to the first hydraulic cylinder 5, and the upper part is connected to the first gas piston cylinder 7 and the second gas piston cylinder 8 through the control of the gas valve; the lower part of the sixth pressure vessel 16 is connected to the second hydraulic cylinder 6, and the upper part is connected to the first gas piston cylinder 7 and the second gas piston cylinder 8 through the control of the gas valve. The fifth pressure vessel 15 is filled with liquid in the first temperature range, and the sixth pressure vessel 16 is filled with liquid in the second temperature range. When the reversible power generation and heat pump system based on the Stirling cycle starts to operate, the liquid valves F30 and F32 are opened, so that the first hydraulic cylinder 5, the first pressure vessel 1 and the second pressure vessel 2 form a third liquid piston system, and the second hydraulic cylinder 6, the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4 form a fourth liquid piston system. After running for a certain period of time, since it is necessary to always keep the temperatures of the liquid in the first temperature range and the liquid in the second temperature range unchanged, the liquid valves F30 and F32 are closed, and the liquid valves F29 and F31 are opened, so that the first hydraulic cylinder 5, the fifth pressure vessel 15 and the second pressure vessel 2 form a fifth liquid piston system; and the second hydraulic cylinder 6, the sixth pressure vessel 16 and the fourth pressure vessel 4 form a sixth liquid piston system.
[0060] Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the structure of a reversible power generation and heat pump system based on Stirling cycle with three-state continuous operation is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the three-state continuous operation system structure is Figure 1The third hydraulic cylinder 17, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 18, the seventh pressure vessel 19, and the eighth pressure vessel 20 are added to the reversible power generation and heat pump system based on the Stirling cycle. When connected, the first hydraulic cylinder is connected in parallel with the third hydraulic cylinder, and the second hydraulic cylinder is connected in parallel with the fourth hydraulic cylinder. That is, the first hydraulic cylinder 5 is connected to the first pressure vessel 1 and the second pressure vessel 2, the third hydraulic cylinder 17 is connected to the first pressure vessel 1 and the seventh pressure vessel 19; the second hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected to the third pressure vessel 3 and the fourth pressure vessel 4, and the fourth hydraulic cylinder 18 is connected to the second pressure vessel 3 and the eighth pressure vessel 20. The operation process of this system is basically the same as the cycle process of the reversible power generation and heat pump system based on the Stirling cycle, but due to the addition of two hydraulic cylinders and two pressure vessels, it is ensured that the first pressure vessel 1, the second pressure vessel 2 and the seventh pressure vessel 19 are respectively in the three states of migration, expansion and exhaust in one cycle, and the third pressure vessel 3, the fourth pressure vessel 4 and the eighth pressure vessel 20 are respectively in the three states of migration, expansion and exhaust in one cycle, ensuring that the reversible power generation and heat pump system of the Stirling cycle operates continuously in one cycle. The power generation process is as follows: the second gas is isothermally expanded in the third pressure vessel 3, the fourth pressure vessel 4 and the eighth pressure vessel 20, so that the second temperature liquid generates hydraulic pressure in the second hydraulic cylinder 6 or the fourth hydraulic cylinder 18 to push the second liquid piston rod or the fourth liquid piston rod to move, so that the third reversible power device or the sixth reversible power device generates power; when the second gas is cooled by the multi-stage heat exchange device and migrates from the second gas piston cylinder 8 to the first pressure vessel 1, the second pressure vessel 2 or the seventh pressure vessel 19 in equal volume, the second gas pushes the second gas piston rod of the second gas piston cylinder 8 to move during the migration process, so that the fourth reversible power device 12 generates power; when the second gas is cooled by the multi-stage heat exchange device and migrates from the first gas piston cylinder 7 to the first pressure vessel 1, the second pressure vessel 2 or the seventh pressure vessel 19 in equal volume, the first gas piston rod of the first gas piston cylinder 7 is pushed to move during the migration process, so that the second reversible power device 10 generates power.

Therefore, in the present invention utilizes a liquid temperature difference power generation system, a portion of the work done by the isothermal expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas can be used to compress the low-temperature and low-pressure gas in the first pressure vessel, and the compressed gas can be transferred to the compressed gas storage tank, so that the generated electrical energy can be stored in the form of air potential energy of compressed air during the off-peak period of electricity consumption. During peak electricity consumption, the compressed air in the compressed gas storage tank can be transferred to the first pressure vessel, and the work done by the expansion of this part of the compressed air can be used to push the first liquid piston rod to move and generate electricity, thereby achieving peak shaving and valley filling. Of course, the compressed air in the compressed gas storage tank can also be transferred to the second pressure vessel to generate electricity.
