At present, in coal-fired power plant, about 8% of the energy input by coal-fired power plant is lost in the form of flue gas waste heat, so there is a problem of flue gas waste heat consumption in coal-fired power plant. In summary, the embodiment aims to reasonably arrange the collaborative operation scheme of adsorption tower and compressor, distribute heat and provide flue gas waste heat consumption capacity.

[0036] In addition, as Figure 2 shown, Figure 2For the operation schematic diagram of the coupled adsorption tower and compressor collaborative operation system of the external heat source in the embodiment of the application, the working medium, the first heat exchange medium and the second heat exchange medium are all low-temperature CO2 gas after heat release treatment of the CO2 adsorption module, in the embodiment, the temperature of the low-temperature CO2 gas is 30℃, the working medium and the heat exchange medium enter the intercooling part of the CO2 compression module, the compression part of the CO2 compression module and the CO2 heat exchange module along the first flow path, the second flow path and the third flow path at 30℃ respectively, the compression part compresses and heats the CO2 as the intermediate medium, and the CO2 as the first heat exchange medium converges and exchanges heat in the intercooling part;

[0039] Further, the external high-temperature heat source is used for heating the second heat exchange medium flowing through the heat exchanger 8.

[0040] Referring to Figure 2 In an optional embodiment, the high-temperature heat source enters the heat exchanger 8 through the heat source medium inlet at 400℃, the second heat exchange medium at 30℃ flows along the third flow path, enters the heat exchanger 8 and exchanges heat with the high-temperature heat source at 400℃, the second heat exchange medium is heated to 220℃, the high-temperature heat source is cooled to 300℃, and is discharged through the heat source medium outlet, in the embodiment, the external high-temperature heat source is high-temperature flue gas generated by a coal-fired power plant, therefore, the low-temperature CO2 is used as the second heat exchange medium to enter the CO2 heat exchange module and exchange heat with the external high-temperature heat source, the waste heat of the flue gas is fully utilized, and the system is realized to be compatible with the external waste heat.

[0041] Specifically, the compression part is used for compressing and heating the working medium, including the first compressor 2, the second compressor 4 and the third compressor 6, the intercooling part includes the first intercooler 3, the second intercooler 5 and the third intercooler 7, the first compressor 2, the first intercooler 3, the second intercooler 5 and the third intercooler 7 are connected with the outlet of the CO2 adsorption module respectively, and the first compressor 2, the first intercooler 3, the second compressor 4, the second intercooler 5, the third compressor 6 and the third intercooler 7 are connected in sequence, when the first heat exchange medium flows through the first intercooler 3, the second intercooler 5 or the third intercooler 7, heat exchange is performed between the first heat exchange medium and the working medium which is heated.

[0042] With reference to Figure 2 In the embodiment, the multi-stage compression structure composed of the first compressor 2, the second compressor 4 and the third compressor 6 is used for heating the medium in a reciprocating manner, the first intercooler 3, the second intercooler 5 and the third intercooler 7 constitute a multi-stage intercooling structure, and heat exchange is performed between the medium flowing through the intercooler and the first heat exchange medium, for example, the CO2 adsorption module outputs 30℃ low-temperature CO2 gas as the medium into the first compressor 2, the first compressor 2 compresses and heats the 30℃ medium to 200℃ and then the medium enters the first intercooler 3, at the same time, the 30℃ first heat exchange medium is input into the first intercooler 3 and exchanges heat with the 200℃ medium in the first intercooler 3, so that the 30℃ first heat exchange medium is heated to 180℃, the medium output from the first intercooler 3 is cooled to 55℃ after heat exchange and then enters the second compressor 4, the second compressor 4 re-heats the 55℃ medium to 200℃, then the medium enters the second intercooler 5 and exchanges heat with the first heat exchange medium, the medium is cooled to 55℃ again, the first heat exchange medium flowing through the second intercooler 5 is heated to 180℃ after heat exchange, the medium re-enters the third compressor 6, the third compressor 6 compresses and heats the medium, the medium reaches 200℃ and then enters the third intercooler 7, and the temperature of the medium is 60℃ after heat exchange with the first heat exchange medium and is output; in the second flow path, the 30℃ low-temperature CO2 as the first heat exchange medium can enter the first intercooler 3, the second intercooler 5 and the third intercooler 7 at the same time, and the medium and the first heat exchange medium are continuously flowing, so that the heat exchange process between the medium and the first heat exchange medium in the first intercooler 3, the second intercooler 5 and the third intercooler 7 can occur at the same time, and the intercooling process and the output of 60℃ CO2 gas are continuously performed. Therefore, the CO2 gas has good heat exchange performance and flow characteristics, the CO2 gas is used as the heat exchange medium, the structure of the energy storage system is simplified, the economy is improved and the heat exchange effect is enhanced, and the high-temperature CO2 working medium at the outlet of each stage of compressor exchanges heat with the low-temperature CO2 heat exchange medium at the inlet of each stage of intercooler, the waste heat of the high-temperature gas in the system is absorbed, the intercooling effect is realized, and the efficiency of the CO2 energy storage system is improved.

[0043] It should be noted that the above temperature parameters are only the temperature parameters of one optional embodiment of the present application, and the specific temperature parameters can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions, for example, the temperature output by the CO2 adsorption module is 35℃, the compressor can compress and heat the CO2 gas as medium to 220℃, and the parameters of the intercooler heat exchange efficiency change.

[0044] Optionally, the first intercooler 3, the second intercooler 5 and the third intercooler 7 each have a heat exchange medium input interface, a heat exchange medium output interface, a medium input interface and a medium output interface.

Therefore, the medium and the heat exchange medium can exchange heat without motion interference when flowing through the intercooler.

[0047] It should be further noted that CO2 as a greenhouse gas cannot be directly discharged into the atmosphere, so storing CO2 in the low-pressure CO2 storage tank avoids direct emission into the atmosphere to cause the greenhouse effect. In the case of need, the CO2 gas in the CO2 storage tank can re-enter the system circulation process as medium or heat exchange medium.

[0048] Optionally, the CO2 adsorption module includes an adsorption tower 1, which has an adsorbent inside for adsorbing CO2 and storing heat. The adsorption tower 1 is a device for reducing industrial emissions or other high-concentration carbon dioxide gas. In order to maintain the stable operation of the adsorption tower 1, cooling measures such as circulating water or other cooling medium are usually required to reduce the temperature. The adsorbent can adsorb CO2 while absorbing the heat carried by the CO2 gas input into the adsorption tower 1, thereby achieving the effect of cooling CO2, so that the adsorption tower 1 can output CO2 gas at 30℃.

[0049] The adsorbent can be calcium hydroxide, silica gel, activated carbon, molecular sieve, sodium lime, etc. which can adsorb CO2 and heat, or a combination of one or more of the above substances.

[0050] In the embodiment, the adsorbent is preferably 13X zeolite molecular sieve. The 13X zeolite molecular sieve is a porous crystalline material, which has high adsorption capacity and is often used for CO2 capture and adsorption, and has high thermal stability and chemical stability.

[0051] Optionally, the first flow path, the second flow path and the third flow path are all formed by pipes as flow carriers of the working medium, the first heat exchange medium and the second heat exchange medium, and the pipe surfaces are coated with thermal insulation materials.

[0052] For example, the pipes are connected between the adsorption tower 1 and the first compressor 2, between the intercooler and the compressor, between the cooling tower 1 and the intercooler, between the intercooler and the heat exchanger 8, and between the heat exchanger 8 and the cooling tower, so that the working medium, the first heat exchange medium and the second heat exchange medium can flow along the first flow path, the second flow path or the third flow path, the flow of CO2 is utilized, the system structure is simplified, the economy is improved, and the pipe surfaces are coated with thermal insulation materials, so that the heat loss of the working medium, the first heat exchange medium and the second heat exchange medium in the flow process is reduced, the temperature of the second heat exchange medium is increased by 220°C after heat exchange, and the temperature of the second heat exchange medium is maintained at more than 200°C in the flow process from the heat exchanger 8 to the adsorption tower 1, so that the energy utilization rate is improved.

[0053] Another embodiment of the application further provides a method for cooperative operation of an adsorption tower coupled with an external heat source and a compressor, which is based on the system for cooperative operation of the adsorption tower coupled with the external heat source and the compressor as described above and includes the following steps.

[0054] Step 1: The CO2 adsorption module adsorbs the CO2 input into the module to form a low-temperature CO2 gas flow.

[0055] Step 2: A first part of the low-temperature CO2 flows along the first flow path as a working medium, a second part of the low-temperature CO2 flows along the second flow path as a first heat exchange medium, and the remaining part of the low-temperature CO2 flows along the third flow path as a second heat exchange medium.

[0057] Step 3: The heat-exchanged first heat exchange medium and second heat exchange medium flow back to the CO2 adsorption module.

[0058] Further, in step 2, the heat-exchanged working medium in the first flow path flows into the low-pressure CO2 storage tank for storage.

[0059] Specifically, the CO2 output by the adsorption tower 1 at 30 DEG C is used as the medium, the first heat exchange medium and the second heat exchange medium respectively to flow in the first flow path, the second flow path and the third flow path, the CO2 as the medium reciprocates between the compressor and the heat exchanger to be heated and exchanges heat with the CO2 as the first heat exchange medium, the high-temperature gas waste heat in the absorption system is absorbed to achieve the medium cooling effect, the CO2 after heat exchange as the second heat exchange medium enters the heat exchanger 8 to exchange heat with the external high-temperature heat source and then directly flows back to the adsorption tower 1, and the waste heat can be efficiently utilized.

[0060] The method of the embodiment exchanges heat between the high-temperature CO2 working medium output by the compressors at different levels and the low-temperature CO2 heat exchange medium input by the input interfaces of the intercoolers at different levels, absorbs the high-temperature gas waste heat in the system to achieve the medium cooling effect, and improves the efficiency of the adsorption compression CO2 energy storage system; the CO2 gas is used as the heat exchange medium due to its good heat exchange performance and flow characteristics, which can simplify the structure of the energy storage system, improve the economy and enhance the heat exchange effect, the second heat exchange medium is converged to exchange heat with the external high-temperature heat source, and the system can absorb the waste heat from the outside.

[0061] Although the present application is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this.
