Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a low-temperature Rankine cycle system, in particular to a mixed hydrocarbon working fluid single-stage Rankine cycle system platform, belonging to the technical field of LNG cold energy utilization. Background Art

[0002] In the utilization of LNG cold energy, the cold energy power generation system can effectively recover most of the cold energy of the temperature gradient, and is not easily disturbed by external factors and is widely used. However, due to the large differences in the heat sources used in the low-temperature Rankine cycle of the LNG cold energy power generation system, a single working fluid cannot guarantee the optimal cold energy transfer during the LNG gasification process. The use of a mixed refrigerant cycle (MRC) can match the condensation curve of the circulating working fluid with the LNG evaporation curve, thereby narrowing the heat transfer temperature difference between the cold and hot media, reducing exergy losses, and improving the cycle efficiency. Thermodynamic analysis found that the efficiency of the LNG cold energy power generation system can increase by 1% -1.2% for every 1K reduction in the heat transfer temperature difference. However, under low temperature conditions, the phase change behavior of the mixed hydrocarbon working fluid is complex, and different phase change behaviors will seriously affect the heat transfer and flow performance of the heat exchanger.

[0003] So far, the research on the application of mixed working fluids and the cold energy utilization of different types of heat exchangers has mostly focused on separate theoretical calculations and has just started, lacking reliable experimental data and engineering data. There is a great need for a mixed hydrocarbon circulating working fluid cold energy utilization system platform with comprehensive experimental performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The mixed hydrocarbon working medium single-stage Rankine cycle system platform of this embodiment is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a mixed working fluid proportioning unit A, a mixed water heat exchange unit B, a reheat exchange unit C, and a cold mixing heat exchange unit D.

[0024] The composition of each unit is:

[0025] The mixed working medium proportioning unit A includes a first storage tank 1, a second storage tank 2, and a third storage tank 3 leading to the mixed working medium tank 4 through the first flow regulating valve 47 and the first flow meter 50 in the first proportioning pipeline 13, the second flow regulating valve 48 and the second flow meter 51 in the second proportioning pipeline 14, and the third flow regulating valve 49 and the third flow meter 52 in the third proportioning pipeline 15. The first storage tank 1 is filled with methane, the second storage tank 2 is filled with propane, and the third storage tank 3 is filled with ethylene. Therefore, the quantitative proportion of the three media can be regulated by each flow regulating valve and flow meter, respectively, to achieve a mixed working medium with a predetermined composition proportion in the mixed working medium tank 4. The outlet of the mixed working medium tank 4 is used as the output end of the mixed working medium proportioning unit A through the pre-pump pipeline 16, and the inlet of the mixed working medium tank 4 is used as the input end of the mixed working medium proportioning unit A.

After the liquid propane exchanges heat with the circulating water in the heat exchange tube 6, it evaporates into a gas phase and contacts the outside of the first heat exchange tube 5.

The mixed working medium-water-heat exchange component as the first-stage evaporation unit adopts an intermediate medium type heat exchange structure, so that the normal temperature circulating water heats the low-temperature mixed medium below -100°C without freezing. The water-mixed working medium-reboiler component as the second-stage evaporation unit completely evaporates and gasifies the mixed working medium. The two-stage evaporation makes the single-stage circulation of the mixed working medium possible;

[0050] 3) The heat exchanger type can be switched, so that the influence of the change of the flow channel caused by different heat exchanger structures on the deviation of the mixed working fluid components can be studied. The mixed working fluid-water-heat exchange component includes the mixed working fluid-water-reboiler component and the mixed working fluid-water-microchannel heat exchanger component, which can be switched and used as needed; the cold medium-mixed working fluid-heat exchange component includes the cold medium-mixed working fluid-condenser component and the cold medium-mixed working fluid-microchannel heat exchanger component, which can also be switched and used as needed;

[0051] 4) The measurement unit, flow control unit and valve switching unit involved in the mixed hydrocarbon working fluid single-stage Rankine cycle system platform can effectively monitor and control the state parameters of the circulating working fluid in the whole process and each sub-process in real time, can realize the switching of different types of heat exchange units, and can also realize real-time control and subsequent measurement of the cold energy utilization unit, and effectively judge the cold energy utilization effect in the subsequent process.

[0052] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other implementation modes. Any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope required by the present invention.
