Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the interdisciplinary field of energy efficiency utilization and environmental protection, specifically to a visual experimental system for direct combustion of supercritical carbon dioxide. Background Technology
[0002] Supercritical carbon dioxide power cycles, as a novel energy conversion method with enormous efficiency potential and broad application prospects, have attracted attention from academia and industry in recent years. Direct-heated carbon dioxide power cycles replace the heat source and heat exchanger in indirect-heated cycles with a combustion chamber, achieving heat-work conversion through the direct combustion reaction of fuel in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Direct-heated cycles have two major advantages: First, direct-heated supercritical carbon dioxide cycles have higher turbine inlet temperatures, meaning higher cycle efficiency potential, which can be used to compensate for the energy consumed by air separation oxygen production units; second, direct-heated cycles have inherent carbon dioxide capture capabilities, eliminating the need for additional processes and energy for carbon dioxide capture. The direct combustion supercritical carbon dioxide cycle system represents a significant improvement over existing technologies in both total combustion pressure and carbon dioxide partial pressure. In particular, the carbon dioxide partial pressure has been increased from subcritical to supercritical. The changes in the physicochemical properties of the reaction atmosphere have a significant impact on fuel ignition, combustion process, and combustion characteristics. Furthermore, gas diffusion is slower in a supercritical carbon dioxide environment, and the actual carbon dioxide concentration is higher. The high temperature and high pressure environment under supercritical carbon dioxide atmosphere places high demands on the reactor, and conventional designs are difficult to visualize and observe the combustion of fuel in a supercritical carbon dioxide atmosphere. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a visual supercritical carbon dioxide direct combustion experimental system to solve the problem of difficulty in studying the combustion of fuels in a supercritical carbon dioxide atmosphere, and to realize the visual observation of the combustion characteristics of fuels in a supercritical carbon dioxide atmosphere.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] Furthermore, the burners of the visualized reactor are either coaxial burners that simulate near-laminar flow or swirling burners that simulate strong turbulent mixing.
[0012] Furthermore, the reactor is equipped with an insulation layer and an electric heating layer. A coaxial burner is located at the upper end of the reactor body, and a tail flue gas water-cooled dilution jacket is installed at the lower end of the reactor body. The outlet flue gas is diluted and cooled by the water-cooled dilution jacket before being discharged. The reactor body is divided into an outer pressure-bearing shell and an internal heating element and insulation layer. A viewing window is opened on the reactor body wall and the insulation layer.
[0013] Furthermore, the supercritical carbon dioxide supply system includes a high-pressure carbon dioxide cylinder, a water-cooled storage tank, a first filter, a liquid booster pump, a first check valve, a high-pressure carbon dioxide mass flow meter, and a carbon dioxide preheater connected in sequence. The outlet of the high-pressure carbon dioxide cylinder is connected to the inlet of the water-cooled storage tank, the outlet of the water-cooled storage tank is connected to the liquid booster pump, the outlet of the liquid booster pump is connected to the inlet of the high-pressure carbon dioxide mass flow meter, the outlet of the high-pressure carbon dioxide mass flow meter is connected to the carbon dioxide preheater, and the outlet of the carbon dioxide preheater is connected to the carbon dioxide inlet of the visible reactor burner.
[0014] Furthermore, the oxidizing gas supply system includes an oxygen supply system and a carbon dioxide supply system, which are respectively connected to a mixing tank. The outlet of the mixing tank is connected to an oxidizing gas preheater, and the outlet of the oxidizing gas preheater is connected to the oxidizing gas inlet of the burner.

[0015] Furthermore, the fuel supply system includes a first high-pressure nitrogen cylinder, a fourth one-way valve, a nitrogen mass flow meter, and a high-pressure metering feeder connected in sequence.

[0016] Furthermore, the flue gas cooling and exhaust system includes a flue gas cooling system and an exhaust system.

[0019] Furthermore, the middle of the flue gas water-cooled dilution jacket outlet pipe at the tail of the lower flange of the visualized reactor is a nitrogen dilution pipe. Nitrogen quenching and dilution can reduce the secondary reactions generated after fuel combustion. The nitrogen-diluted flue gas is discharged from the reactor through the channel between the dilution pipe and the water-cooled jacket.
[0020] Furthermore, the internal heating element of the visualized reactor is electrically heated. A quartz tube is arranged in the heating element to prevent direct contact between the combustion flame and the electric heating. The insulation layer is to prevent the internal temperature from being too high and affecting the pressure-bearing outer shell, and to maintain the temperature of the high-temperature zone and reduce heat dissipation.
[0021] Furthermore, the visualization reactor window uses sapphire, which can withstand high temperature and high pressure, as the observation window material. In order to protect the window from the high temperature radiation of the internal combustion flame, double-layer sapphire glass is used, with cooling water flowing through the middle layer to cool the sapphire glass.

[0041] In this embodiment, pulverized coal is used as fuel to study the combustion characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide. First, carbon dioxide enters a water-cooled storage tank from a high-pressure cylinder. It then undergoes high-pressure, low-temperature processing to produce liquid carbon dioxide. The liquid carbon dioxide is pressurized by a carbon dioxide liquid booster pump to above the critical pressure of carbon dioxide, passes through a carbon dioxide mass flow meter, and enters a carbon dioxide preheater. It is preheated to 600°C, becoming supercritical carbon dioxide, which then enters a visualization reactor. Oxidizing gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) are depressurized from the high-pressure cylinder through a pressure reducing valve to the same pressure as the carbon dioxide path before entering a mass flow meter. They then enter an oxidizing gas preheater and are preheated to 350°C. The temperature is set to prevent explosions caused by excessively high oxidizing gas temperatures. The preheated, high-temperature, high-pressure oxidizing gas enters the reactor burner through a pipeline. Powdered coal from the fluidized bed high-pressure feeder is carried at room temperature by high-pressure nitrogen gas passing through a mass flow meter into the visualization reactor. A high-speed camera can be placed outside the visualization reactor to capture the combustion flame. Diluted nitrogen gas, after being depressurized by a pressure reducing valve, enters the central tube of the water-cooled dilution jacket at the tail of the visualization reactor through a mass flow meter to quench the high-temperature combustion flue gas and prevent secondary combustion reactions. The diluted nitrogen gas and combustion flue gas are then cooled by a heat exchanger and enter a filter before being discharged under reduced pressure from a back pressure valve. Therefore, the above technical solution can be used to conduct experiments on coal combustion characteristics under supercritical carbon dioxide conditions, such as ignition characteristic experiments, volatile matter and coke combustion experiments, to explore the influence of different operating parameters (e.g., pressure, oxygen concentration, reaction temperature, etc.) on combustion characteristics, measure inlet and outlet pressures, temperatures, flue gas components and coke, record flame images, and obtain flame images of the coal particle combustion process, providing a reference for the study of coal combustion under supercritical carbon dioxide conditions.

[0045] Specifically, the data acquisition system may include a high-definition digital camera, a high-speed video camera, a flue gas analyzer, K-type or B-type thermocouples, and a pressure sensor.
