[0028] Reference Figure 1As shown, the agricultural greenhouse using solid oxide fuel cells according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a SOFC power generation module 100, a greenhouse (not shown in the figure), a first heat exchanger 600 and a second control component 700, the SOFC power generation module 100 has an outlet 110, and the SOFC power generation module 100 is used to generate electricity using the introduced fuel and air, and obtain gaseous products, and the gaseous products include carbon dioxide; the greenhouse has an air inlet 200 and an air outlet 300, the air inlet 200 is connected to the air outlet 110 through a first pipe 400, and the first pipe 400 is provided with a first control component 500 for controlling the gas flow rate; the first heat exchanger 600 has a hot fluid channel 610 for discharging gaseous products and a cold fluid channel 620 for introducing fresh air, the inlet of the hot fluid channel 610 is connected to the outlet 110, and the outlet of the cold fluid channel 620 is connected to the air inlet 200; the second control component 700 is used to control the hot fluid channel 610.
[0029] The SOFC power generation module 100 generates pollution-free exhaust gas rich in CO2, wherein the CO2 can also be absorbed and utilized by plants, and the air inlet 200 of the greenhouse is connected to the air outlet 110 of the SOFC power generation module 100 through the first pipe 400, and the first pipe 400 is provided with a first control component 500, and the flow rate of the first pipe 400 can be controlled by the first control component 500 to control the CO2 concentration in the greenhouse, and the first heat exchanger 600 is provided, so that the exhaust gas discharged from the SOFC power generation module 100 can exchange heat with the fresh air entering the greenhouse, and the second control component 700 is provided, so that the gas discharge amount can be controlled by the second control component 700 to control the temperature of the fresh air, thereby controlling the temperature in the greenhouse.
[0030] During operation, external fuel and external air are transported to the SOFC power generation module 100 through pipelines. The SOFC power generation module 100 generates electricity and produces exhaust gas rich in CO2. A portion of the exhaust gas enters the air inlet 200 of the greenhouse through the air outlet 110 and the first pipeline 400. When the CO2 concentration inside the greenhouse is too high, the first control component 500 reduces the flow of the first pipeline 400 to reduce the CO2 concentration inside the greenhouse. On the contrary, the first control component 500 increases the flow of the first pipeline 400. At the same time, another portion of the exhaust gas enters the air inlet 200 through the air outlet 110 and the hot fluid channel 610. The inlet of the hot fluid channel 610 enters the hot fluid channel 610 and is then discharged from the outlet of the hot fluid channel 610. The external fresh air enters the cold fluid channel 620 through the inlet of the cold fluid channel 620. The fresh air in the cold fluid channel 620 exchanges heat with the exhaust gas in the hot fluid channel 610. After the heat exchange, the fresh air is discharged from the cold fluid channel 620 and transported to the air inlet 200 of the greenhouse. Among them, when the temperature inside the greenhouse is relatively high, the second control component 700 reduces the flow of the hot fluid channel 610 to reduce the temperature of the fresh air. Conversely, the second control component 700 increases the flow of the hot fluid channel 610 to increase the temperature of the fresh air.
[0031] Specifically, the fuel used by the SOFC power generation module 100 can be biogas. When biogas is used, the products are only CO2 and water, which is convenient for processing. Natural gas, H2, synthesis gas, methanol or other gases can also be used.
[0032] Specifically, the first control element 500 may be a damper or other control element that can control the gas flow rate.
[0033] Specifically, the air outlet 300 of the greenhouse is connected to the inlet of the hot fluid channel 610 to recover the heat discharged from the greenhouse and exchange heat with the fresh air.
[0034] Specifically, an outlet of the hot fluid channel 610 is connected to an exhaust fan to provide power for exhausting the gas in the hot fluid channel 610 .
[0035] Specifically, the first heat exchanger 600 may be a full heat exchanger, or other types of heat exchangers such as a plate-fin heat exchanger may be selected according to the situation.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the inlet of the hot fluid channel 610 is connected to the air outlet 110 through the second pipe 611, and the second control component 700 is arranged on the second pipe 611 to control the flow rate of the exhaust gas entering the hot fluid channel 610 through the second control component 700, so as to control the temperature in the greenhouse; during operation, when the temperature inside the greenhouse is relatively high, the second control component 700 closes the flow rate of the second pipe 611, reduces the amount of heat exchange between the exhaust gas and the fresh air, and thus reduces the temperature inside the greenhouse; conversely, the second control component 700 opens the flow rate of the second pipe 611, increases the amount of heat exchange between the exhaust gas and the fresh air, and thus increases the temperature inside the greenhouse; the second control component 700 can adopt an air valve or other control component that can control the flow rate.
[0037] In a further embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the inlet of the cold fluid channel 620 is connected to the third pipe 621, and the outlet of the cold fluid channel 620 is connected to the air inlet 200 through the fourth pipe 622. A fifth pipe 623 is connected between the third pipe 621 and the fourth pipe 622. The fifth pipe 623 is provided with a third control component 624 for controlling the gas flow rate. By providing the fifth pipe 623, when the fresh air or cold air outside the greenhouse enters the greenhouse, it is divided into two paths, one path enters the cold fluid channel 620 for heat exchange, and the other path bypasses to the outlet of the cold fluid channel 620 through the fifth pipe 623, and then the proportion of the fresh air or cold air discharged from the cold fluid channel 620 is controlled by the third control component 624, which can assist in controlling the inlet air temperature of the greenhouse.
[0038] Specifically, an air intake fan can be provided on the first pipe 400, and the outlet of the cold fluid channel 620 is connected to the first pipe 400 through the fourth pipe 622. The connection point between the fourth pipe 622 and the first pipe 400 is located on the left side of the air intake fan. By providing the air intake fan, the exhaust gas in the first pipe 400 is provided with power to enter the greenhouse, and the fresh air in the fourth pipe 622 is provided with power to enter the greenhouse.
[0039] In a further embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a humidifying tank 800 is also included, and the fourth pipe 622 includes a first pipe section 6221 and a second pipe section 6222. The two ends of the first pipe section 6221 are respectively connected to the outlet of the cold fluid channel 620 and the inlet of the humidifying tank 800, and the second pipe section 6222 is respectively connected to the outlet of the humidifying tank 800 and the air inlet 200, and the fifth pipe 623 is connected to the first pipe section 6221. By providing the humidifying tank 800, the humidifying tank 800 can humidify the fresh air on the fourth pipe 622, thereby controlling the humidity inside the greenhouse;
[0040] Existing agricultural greenhouse humidification generally sets up a separate spraying system in the greenhouse, which requires more water pipes and spraying equipment, and it is difficult to ensure uniformity. At the same time, since the spraying and heating systems are independent, it is easy to cause temperature fluctuations in the greenhouse during spraying. The humidification tank 800 of the present invention performs centralized humidification, the humidification equipment is simple, and the temperature and humidity control are the same system. During humidification, the temperature fluctuation in the greenhouse is smaller;
[0041] During operation, when it is detected that the humidity in the greenhouse is too low, the humidifier tank 800 is started, water is passed into the humidifier tank 800, and the humidifier tank 800 humidifies the fresh air. After the humidity reaches the set humidity target value, the humidifier tank 800 stops humidifying; when it is detected that the humidity in the greenhouse is too high, the humidifier tank 800 needs to be in a non-humidifying state, and the amount of fresh air passing through the third pipe 621 needs to be increased. The third control component 624 can be opened appropriately, and the fifth pipe 623 introduces more external dry air for dehumidification. At the same time, the second control component 700 should be opened appropriately to maintain a stable temperature in the greenhouse; the amount of fresh air in the pipeline in the third pipe 621 can also be increased by increasing the speed of the air intake fan. At this time, in order to maintain a stable CO2 concentration in the greenhouse, the first control component 500 needs to be appropriately closed, and in order to maintain a stable temperature in the greenhouse, the second control component 700 needs to be appropriately opened.
[0042] In a further embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the SOFC power generation module 100 includes a second heat exchanger 120, a cell stack 130 and a burner 140. The second heat exchanger 120 includes a first heat exchange channel 121, a second heat exchange channel 122 and a third heat exchange channel 123. The third heat exchange channel 123 can exchange heat with the first heat exchange channel 121 and the second heat exchange channel 122. The first heat exchange channel 121 is used to pass air, and the second heat exchange channel 122 is used to pass fuel. The outlet of the first heat exchange channel 121 and the outlet of the second heat exchange channel 122 are both connected to the cell stack 130. The burner 140 is respectively connected to the cell stack 130 and the inlet of the third heat exchange channel 123. The outlet of the third heat exchange channel 123 is an air outlet 110. Heat is exchanged with the first heat exchange channel 121 and the second heat exchange channel 122 through the third heat exchange channel 123 to preheat air and fuel and speed up the processing speed of the cell stack 130.
[0043] During operation, air enters the fuel cell stack 130 through the first heat exchange channel 121 to participate in the electrochemical reaction to generate electricity, and fuel enters the fuel cell stack 130 through the second heat exchange channel 122 to participate in the electrochemical reaction to generate electricity. The unreacted fuel and air enter the burner 140 to burn and obtain high-temperature exhaust gas. The high-temperature exhaust gas enters the third heat exchange channel 123 to exchange heat with the air in the first heat exchange channel 121 and the fuel in the second heat exchange channel 122 to obtain medium-temperature exhaust gas. Figure 3As shown, the medium-temperature exhaust gas is discharged through the outlet 110, a part of the medium-temperature exhaust gas enters the greenhouse through the first pipe 400 and the air inlet 200, and a part of the medium-temperature exhaust gas enters the hot fluid channel 610 through the second pipe 611, and then is discharged from the outlet of the hot fluid channel 610.

The air outlet 110 is connected to the third heat exchanger 152 through the sixth duct 160. The third heat exchanger 152 is used to preheat the air on the air inlet duct 150, and is connected to the air outlet 110 through the third heat exchanger 152 to make full use of the medium-temperature exhaust gas to perform secondary heating of the air.
[0045] Specifically, the third heat exchanger 152 has a fifth heat exchange channel and a sixth heat exchange channel. The air in the air inlet duct 150 can flow through the fifth heat exchange channel. The two ends of the sixth heat exchange channel are respectively connected to the sixth duct 160 and the outside. During operation, the air enters the first heat exchange channel 121 through the air inlet duct 150 and the fifth heat exchange channel. The medium-temperature exhaust gas enters the sixth heat exchange channel through the sixth duct 160, and is discharged to the outside of the greenhouse at the outlet of the sixth heat exchange channel. In the process of the medium-temperature exhaust gas flowing through the sixth heat exchange channel, the medium-temperature exhaust gas in the sixth heat exchange channel preheats the air in the fifth heat exchange channel. The preheated air enters the first heat exchange channel 121 again to exchange heat with the third heat exchange channel 123 for reheating. Condensation water will be generated after the medium-temperature exhaust gas is cooled by the air, and the condensation water flows into the water collecting tank 900 through the pipeline.
[0046] In a further embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a fuel inlet pipeline 170 connected to the second heat exchange channel 122, and a desulfurizer 171 and a reformer 172 are sequentially arranged on the fuel inlet pipeline 170.

By providing the fourth heat exchange channel 124, the water in the fourth heat exchange channel 124 can be converted into water vapor through the high-temperature exhaust gas of the burner 140, so as to make full use of the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from the burner 140.
[0047] During operation, the fuel enters the fuel pipeline 170, is desulfurized by the desulfurizer 171, is mixed with the steam from the heat exchange, is processed by the reformer 172, and then enters the second heat exchange channel 122 for heat exchange.
[0048] Specifically, the second heat exchanger 120 can be a three-in-one heat exchanger, and the third heat exchange channel 123 simultaneously exchanges heat with the first heat exchange channel 121, the second heat exchange channel 122 and the fourth heat exchange channel 124; the second heat exchanger 120 can also be divided into three heat exchangers, which are respectively provided with the first heat exchange channel 121, the second heat exchange channel 122 and the fourth heat exchange channel 124, and are all provided with the third heat exchange channel 123.
[0049] Specifically, a fuel flow controller MFC is also provided on the left side of the desulfurizer 171 .

The seventh pipe 181 is provided with a first solenoid valve 182, so that the humidification tank 800 and the fourth heat exchange channel 124 share a pipe.
