[0041] Reference below Figure 1 The working process of the water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on solid oxide fuel cells according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown by the middle arrow a, the air from the air source passes through the first air preheating device 20 and the second air preheating device 30 in sequence to complete primary preheating and secondary preheating, and is heated to the set temperature. Then, the air enters the cathode of the solid oxide fuel cell 10 through the battery air inlet to participate in the reaction. The cathode exhaust gas after the reaction is discharged through the battery cathode outlet, first enters the second air preheating device 30 to provide heat for the secondary preheating of the air, performs heat exchange with the air, preheats the air and recovers heat from the cathode exhaust gas, and then enters the burner 40 to participate in combustion.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown by arrow b in the figure, the fuel is supplied by the fuel supply device 70, mixed with the water discharged from the clean water tank 150, and then enters the fuel preheating device 60 for preheating to a set temperature; thereafter, it is mixed again with the anode tail gas discharged from the cell anode outlet of the solid oxide fuel cell 10, and enters the reformer 50 for catalytic reforming, where methanol and water are chemically reacted to generate a reformed gas containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide; the reformed gas enters the anode of the solid oxide fuel cell 10 through the cell hydrogen inlet to participate in the reaction.

[0044] The chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in the solid oxide fuel cell 10 generates water and discharges electricity, thereby realizing the power supply function of the water-heat-power trigeneration system 1 based on the solid oxide fuel cell.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown by the arrow c in FIG, the cell anode outlet of the solid oxide fuel cell 10 is connected to the burner 40 and the reformer 50 respectively. The anode product discharged from the cell anode outlet is split into two parts. One part flows to the reformer 50 and participates in the reforming reaction again to improve the fuel utilization rate of the system; the other part enters the burner 40 for combustion. The high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion in the burner 40 is passed into other devices of the water-heat-power trigeneration system 1 to provide a heat source and maintain the operating temperature of other components of the water-heat-power trigeneration system 1.

[0046] Specifically, if Figure 1As shown by arrow d in FIG, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the burner 40 first provides heat to the reformer 50 to maintain the energy and operating temperature required for the reforming reaction. The high-temperature flue gas then passes through the fuel preheating device 60 to provide heat for preheating the fuel, heating the fuel to maintain the temperature required for the reaction of the solid oxide fuel cell 10. The flue gas passing through the fuel supply device 70 passes through the first air preheating device 20 to provide heat for preheating the air, heating the air to maintain the temperature required for the reaction of the solid oxide fuel cell 10. The flue gas then enters the first waste heat recovery device 80 to recover a large amount of waste heat, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown by arrow e in FIG, heating water circulates between the heating device 90 and the first waste heat recovery device 80. The heating water in the first waste heat recovery device 80 exchanges heat with the flue gas, heating the heating water so that the heating device 90 can supply heat to the outside, thus achieving external heating of the system. The flue gas passing through the first waste heat recovery device 80 enters the second waste heat recovery device 100 to heat the purified water discharged from the water purification device 130. The flue gas then enters the third waste heat recovery device 120, heating the rain and snow in the third waste heat recovery device 120, melting the accumulated snow and heating the low-temperature snow and rain water. Finally, the flue gas passes through the water-gas separator 140 to separate the water from the gas. The gas is discharged into the atmosphere, while the separated water flows into the clean water tank 150 for storage. The clean water stored in the clean water tank 150 can be mixed with fuel and fed into the reformer 50, or it can be used as domestic water.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown by the arrow f in the figure, the rain and snow 2 exchanges heat with the flue gas in the third waste heat recovery device 120 to melt and heat the accumulated snow, and then becomes clean water after being filtered and purified by the water purification device 130. Subsequently, the clean water continues to heat up under the heating of the second waste heat recovery device 100 to realize hot water for daily use and flows into the hot water tank 110 for storage, thereby realizing the supply of domestic hot water to the outside world.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the water-heat-power trigeneration system 1 based on a solid oxide fuel cell utilizes hydrogen generated by fuel reforming to participate in the discharge reaction of the solid oxide fuel cell 10 to realize power supply, utilizes the combustion of unconsumed hydrogen in the solid oxide fuel cell 10 to generate heat to heat various components of the water-heat-power trigeneration system 1 and to supply heat to the outside, and utilizes the processing of rain and snow and the separation and utilization of moisture in flue gas to realize the supply of domestic water, heat and power, thereby realizing the function of water-heat-power trigeneration, so that the water-heat-power trigeneration system 1 based on a solid oxide fuel cell can simultaneously meet the supply needs of water, heat and electricity.

[0049] Furthermore, by providing the solid oxide fuel cell 10, since the solid oxide fuel cell 10 has very low requirements for the working environment, the water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on the solid oxide fuel cell can be operated under various complex and harsh climatic conditions, and has greater applicability.

[0050] In addition, the water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on solid oxide fuel cells can adjust the operating conditions of the water supply, heat supply and power supply modules according to changes in the user's electrical load, heat load and water consumption, and can meet different water, heat and power needs in different scenarios.

[0051] Furthermore, by recycling the cathode and anode tail gases of the fuel cell stack, recovering the heat of the combustion flue gas at multiple levels, and self-circulating water, the utilization rates of fuel, heat and water can be fully improved, and the efficiency of the water-heat-power trigeneration system 1 based on solid oxide fuel cells can be improved, thereby realizing a flexible and efficient supply of water, heat and electricity to the outside world.

[0052] Therefore, the water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on solid oxide fuel cells according to the embodiment of the present invention can simultaneously realize water, heat and power trigeneration, and has the advantages of strong applicability and high efficiency.

[0053] The following describes a water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on a solid oxide fuel cell according to a specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on solid oxide fuel cells according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a solid oxide fuel cell 10, a first air preheating device 20, a second air preheating device 30, a burner 40, a reformer 50, a fuel preheating device 60, a fuel supply device 70, a first waste heat recovery device 80, a heating device 90, a second waste heat recovery device 100, a hot water tank 110, a third waste heat recovery device 120, a water purification device 130, a water-gas separator 140 and a clean water tank 150.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on a solid oxide fuel cell further includes a three-way diverter valve 160, which is connected to the reforming inlet, the battery anode outlet, and the burner anode inlet, respectively. This facilitates the communication between the reforming inlet, the battery anode outlet, and the burner anode inlet.

[0056] More specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on a solid oxide fuel cell further includes a mixer 170, which is connected to the fuel outlet, the reforming inlet, and the cell anode outlet. This facilitates the thorough mixing of the fuel and water in the mixer 170, facilitating the subsequent reforming process.

[0057] Alternatively, as Figure 1As shown, the first preheated air inlet is connected to a blower 180. In this way, the blower 180 can be used to directly pressurize the air in the environment and send it to the first air preheating device 20, which facilitates the supply of air.

[0058] Furthermore, the fuel supply device 70 is a fuel pump, which can be used to pump the fuel to the fuel preheating device 60.

[0059] Figure 1 The following shows a water, heat and power trigeneration system 1 based on a solid oxide fuel cell according to some examples of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a first water pump 190 is connected between the clean water tank outlet and the fuel inlet. In this way, the first water pump 190 can be used to pump the water in the clean water tank 150 to the reformer 50.

[0060] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, a second water pump 200 is connected between the snow melting outlet and the water purification device. In this way, the second water pump 200 can be used to pump the snow water or rain water in the third waste heat recovery device 120 to the water purification device 130, so that the water purification device 130 can purify the snow water or rain water.

[0061] Advantageously, the burner 40 is disposed inside the reformer 50 . This allows the heat generated by the burner 40 to heat the reformer 50 , so as to maintain the heat required by the reformer 50 .

[0062] Optionally, the heating device 90 is a radiator. This can facilitate the heating device 90 to provide heat outside.

[0063] In some embodiments, the fuel is methanol fuel, which can be reformed with water to generate hydrogen and carbon dioxide to provide hydrogen required for the power generation reaction of the solid oxide fuel cell 10 .

[0064] Of course, the fuel may also be other types that can provide raw materials for the power generation reaction of the solid oxide fuel cell 10 through a reforming process.
