Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal processing, and in particular to an organic Rankine cycle waste heat recovery system on a truck. Background Art
[0002] Trucks play an irreplaceable role in the modern transportation industry and are also the main source of CO2 emissions in the transportation industry. With the increasing severity of the energy crisis and environmental problems, energy conservation and emission reduction of trucks have received more and more attention. The internal combustion engine is the driving force of the truck, but its efficiency is only about 40%. A large amount of heat is carried away by flue gas, cylinder jacket water and pressurized air. Its energy conservation and emission reduction are of great significance to alleviating energy and environmental problems. The internal combustion engine waste heat recovery technology based on the Rankine cycle is considered to be one of the key off-cylinder technical means to improve the total energy efficiency of the internal combustion engine. It recovers the waste heat of the internal combustion engine and converts it into useful work.
[0003] The invention patent with patent number CN111441837B discloses an internal combustion engine waste heat recovery device and its recovery method, wherein the waste heat recovery device includes: an internal combustion engine cylinder block, a flue gas heat exchanger, an expander, a boost air preheater, a high temperature regenerator, a low temperature regenerator, a cooling unit, a boost unit and a working fluid tank, and the internal combustion engine waste heat recovery device uses supercritical / subcritical CO2 as a circulating working fluid. The present invention utilizes supercritical / subcritical CO2 to fully recover the waste heat of various heat sources of different qualities in the internal combustion engine, such as flue gas, cylinder jacket water and boost air. It has a simple structure and uses a good circulating medium with good economy, which can effectively improve the waste heat recovery efficiency. However, it still has the following disadvantages: the invention does not propose a layout method in the truck field and the ability to combine with production; the invention has a large volume structure and does not meet the requirements of integrated layout on trucks.
[0004] The invention patent with patent number CN105189943B discloses a method and device for heating an expansion machine of a waste heat recovery device, a waste heat recovery device used with an internal combustion engine, which includes: a working fluid circuit for circulating a working fluid, a boiler connected to the working fluid circuit and suitable for recovering waste heat from a heat source to heat the working fluid, an expander connected to the working fluid circuit to receive the working fluid from the boiler, and a heating jacket associated with the expander. The working fluid circuit located downstream of the boiler includes a first branch connected to the inlet of the expander and a second branch connected to the heating jacket. A valve is connected to the working fluid circuit to selectively control whether the working fluid flows to the first branch to expand and recover work or to the second branch to heat the expander in response to the temperature of the working fluid. The invention has the following defects: the expansion machine of the invention is large in size and weight, and it is difficult to install on the whole vehicle; the invention does not consider the protection mechanism of the heat exchanger outlet, and does not propose an intake air reflux control scheme.
[0005] The invention patent with the patent number US20220010715A1 discloses a waste heat recovery device for vehicles, which includes: a housing with a first exhaust channel and a second exhaust channel, an exhaust inlet fitting and an exhaust outlet fitting; a heat exchanger arranged in the first exhaust channel; and a switching valve with a sliding door, which can move in the longitudinal direction of the housing to allow the exhaust gas flow to switch between the first exhaust channel and the second exhaust channel, wherein the first exhaust channel is parallel to the second exhaust channel, and the sliding door can move between the first exhaust channel and the second exhaust channel. The invention has the following defects: the invention structure is provided with a sliding door, the structure is complex and integral, and it is difficult to install; the invention does not consider the compatibility with the current mainstream truck vehicle structure in the industry, and cannot achieve the effective integration of the waste heat recovery system and the existing trucks.
[0006] In short, since the spatial layout of the truck itself is complex and compact, high requirements are placed on the integrated layout of the waste heat recovery system and the truck. Summary of the invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to propose and design an organic Rankine cycle waste heat recovery system on a truck in view of the problem that the spatial layout of the truck itself is very complex and compact and it is difficult to effectively integrate the waste heat recovery system and the truck in the prior art.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: an organic Rankine cycle waste heat recovery system on a truck, comprising an internal combustion engine, a cylinder jacket water preheater, a flue gas heat exchanger, a condenser, a pump, a liquid storage tank and an expander, the internal combustion engine is connected to a cylinder jacket water cylinder external pipeline, the hot fluid side of the cylinder jacket water preheater is connected to the cylinder jacket water cylinder external pipeline, the cold fluid side inlet of the cylinder jacket water preheater is connected to the pump, the cold fluid side outlet of the cylinder jacket water preheater is connected to the cold fluid side inlet of the flue gas heat exchanger, the hot fluid inlet of the flue gas heat exchanger is connected to the flue gas pipeline of the internal combustion engine, the cold fluid side outlet of the flue gas heat exchanger is connected to the expander, the expander is connected to the condenser, the condenser is connected to the liquid storage tank, and the liquid storage tank is connected to the pump to form a waste heat recovery system, which makes full use of the cylinder jacket water cylinder external pipeline and the flue gas pipeline structure of the internal combustion engine, arranges the cylinder jacket water preheater on the basis thereof, and modularizes the waste heat recovery device to make the waste heat recovery system easier to arrange on the truck.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer pipe of the cylinder jacket water is the original outer pipe of the internal combustion engine cooling water. That is, the outer pipe direction of the original cylinder jacket water is not changed, and it is used as a heat source to heat the working fluid of the waste heat recovery system, making full use of the original water outlet pipe of the internal combustion engine, so as to add and integrate the system on the original basis.
[0010] Furthermore, the flue gas pipeline is the original exhaust pipeline of the internal combustion engine flue gas. After the working fluid is heated by the cylinder jacket water, it flows into the flue gas heat exchanger and is further heated and evaporated by the flue gas. The flue gas heat exchanger is arranged on the original exhaust pipeline of the internal combustion engine flue gas, and the direction of the original exhaust pipeline is not changed. The original exhaust pipeline of the internal combustion engine is fully utilized, so as to add the integrated system on the original basis.
[0011] Furthermore, with the longitudinal axis of the truck as the centerline, the expander and flue gas heat exchanger are arranged on one side of the centerline, and the condenser, liquid storage tank and pump are arranged on the other side of the centerline. By reasonably setting the position and layout, the occupied space of the system is reduced, and modular decomposition is performed, so that the waste heat recovery system is easier to arrange on the complex and compact body of the truck, achieving a higher level of integration.
[0012] Furthermore, a cooling fan is installed inside the condenser to provide sufficient cooling air for the condenser.
[0013] Furthermore, the condenser is arranged close to the outside of the truck body and there is no shielding in front of the condenser, and is located at a more outer position relative to the liquid storage tank and the pump, that is, at the outer edge of the truck body. There is no shielding in front of the condenser to facilitate the introduction of cooling air to fully cool the working medium.
[0014] Furthermore, the working fluid in the flue gas heat exchanger can enter the expander to expand and do work, and the expanded working fluid enters the condenser to be condensed into liquid.
[0015] Furthermore, the cooled working fluid flows into the liquid storage tank and is pumped out by the pump and transported to the cylinder jacket water preheater again.
[0016] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] This solution provides an organic Rankine cycle waste heat recovery system on a truck, which realizes the effective integration of the waste heat recovery system and the truck, makes full use of the existing structures such as the cylinder liner water cylinder external pipeline and the exhaust pipeline of the internal combustion engine, arranges the cylinder liner water preheater on its basis, and modularizes the waste heat recovery device to make the waste heat recovery system easier to arrange on the truck.
