Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of energy utilization, and in particular to a flexible and efficient residential heating cogeneration system. Background Art
[0002] High back pressure heating means increasing the pressure of the exhaust steam in the condenser and using circulating water from the heat network to cool the exhaust steam, thereby using the latent heat of vaporization of the exhaust steam from the steam turbine unit to heat the circulating water and achieve heating. This technology has low heating energy consumption, but has the following disadvantages: (1) Strong coupling between heat and electricity and poor operational flexibility. When the heat supply is constant, the electrical load regulation capacity is less than 5%; (2) High requirements for the operational stability of the heat network. When the circulating water from the heat network leaks, it may lead to insufficient cooling water for the unit and an increase in the exhaust steam temperature, thereby threatening the safe operation of the unit.
[0003] Both the medium- and low-pressure interconnecting pipe heating and the low-pressure cylinder zero-output heating technology use the medium-pressure cylinder exhaust steam to heat the circulating water of the heat network. Under this method, the unit operation flexibility is greater, but the energy quality of the medium-pressure cylinder exhaust steam is relatively high. If it is directly used to heat the circulating water of the heat network, there will be a loss of work capacity and high heating energy consumption.
[0004] Since both have their own shortcomings, the units are unable to strike a balance between power generation flexibility and heating energy consumption, resulting in energy waste. Summary of the invention

[0026] Example 1
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, and provides a flexible and efficient residential heating cogeneration system, including a unit unit 100, and also including a primary heating unit 200, including a heating return pipe 201, a first heating inlet 202, and a first heating outlet 203; a secondary heating unit 300, including a secondary heater 301, a second heating water supply pipe 302, a second heating heat supply pipe 303, a second heating heat exchanger 304, a second heating drainage pipe 305, and a second heating outlet pipe 306; a tertiary heating unit 400, including a tertiary heater 401, a steam supply pipe of a medium pressure cylinder 101, a steam supply pipe of a low pressure cylinder 102, a third heating drainage pipe 404, and a heating water supply pipe 405;
[0028] Among them, the heating return water pipe 201 is connected to the unit unit 100 through an addition inlet 202, and an addition outlet 203 is connected to the secondary water supply pipe. The unit unit 100 is connected to the secondary heater 301 through a second addition heating pipe 303. The second addition heat exchanger 304 is used for heat exchange inside the secondary heater 301. The second addition drain pipe 305 discharges condensed water, and the second addition water outlet pipe 306 discharges the heated heating return water. The third-stage heater 401 is connected to the unit unit 100 through the steam supply pipe of the medium-pressure cylinder 101 and the steam supply pipe of the low-pressure cylinder 102. The third addition drain pipe 404 discharges condensed water, and the heating water supply pipe 405 discharges the heated heating return water.
[0029] Specifically, the heating return water enters the first-stage heating unit 200 and is preliminarily heated by the exhaust steam of the low-pressure cylinder 102. The exhaust steam of the low-pressure cylinder 102 exchanges heat with the heating return water and enters the condenser 105 to condense and produce condensed water. The heating return water after the first-stage heating enters the second-stage heating unit 300 and is heated in the second-stage heating unit 300 by the heat of the low-pressure heater. The heating return water after the second-stage heating enters the third-stage heating unit 400. The third-stage heating unit 400 uses the exhaust steam of the medium-pressure cylinder 101 as the driving heat source of the third-stage heater 401 and the exhaust steam of the low-pressure cylinder 102 as the low-temperature heat source. The condensate drain after heat recovery is recovered to the condensate pump 106. The temperature of the heating water can reach 100-110°C after being heated in the third-stage heater 401, which can meet the external heating load requirements.
[0030] Furthermore, the unit 100 includes a medium-pressure cylinder 101, a low-pressure cylinder 102, a connecting air pipe, and a generator 104. The medium-pressure cylinder 101 and the low-pressure cylinder 102 are connected via a connecting steam pipe 103. The unit 100 also includes a condenser 105, a condensate pump 106, a low-pressure heating module 107, and a deaerator 108. The condenser 105 is connected to the exhaust port of the low-pressure cylinder 102, the output end of the condenser 105 is connected to the condensate pump 106, the output end of the condensate pump 106 is connected to the low-pressure heating module 107, and the output end of the low-pressure heating module 107 and the exhaust port of the medium-pressure cylinder 101 are connected to the deaerator 108.
[0031] Furthermore, the low-pressure module 107 is provided with four low-pressure heaters, each of which is connected to the low-pressure cylinder 102. The four low-pressure heaters are connected in sequence from back to front, so that the exhaust steam of the low-pressure cylinder 102 passes through each low-pressure heater in sequence to heat the condensed water to a certain extent. The heated condensed water is divided into two paths, one of which is sent to the deaerator 108 and then discharged after merging with the exhaust steam of the medium-pressure cylinder 101, and the other enters the secondary heating unit 300 to perform secondary heating on the heating return water.
[0032] Furthermore, the heating return water pipe 201 is used to send the heating return water into the condenser 105, and the condenser 105 serves as a primary heater. The heating return water heated by the condenser 105 is sent to the secondary heater 301 through an outlet 203. The heating return water is heated at the primary stage in the condenser 105, and then enters the secondary heater 301 for secondary heating.
[0033] Furthermore, the low-pressure cylinder 102 supplies steam to the low-pressure heating module 107, and the steam in the low-pressure heating module 107 is transported back to the outlet of the condenser 105 after heat exchange. The condensate pump 106 transports condensate into the low-pressure heating module 107 for heating. After heating, part of the condensate is sent to the hot side of the secondary heater 301, and part is sent to the deaerator 108.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment provides: the secondary heater 301 is provided with a first second heater 301a and a second second heater 301b, heat is exchanged between the first second heater 301a and the second second heater 301b through a second heater heat exchanger 304, and the first second heater 301a and the second second heater 301b are both provided with a cold side and a hot side.
[0036] Specifically, the cold side input ends of the first and second heat exchangers 301a and 301b are both connected to the heat exchanger water supply pipe 302, the cold side output ends of the first and second heat exchangers 301a and 301b are both connected to the heat exchanger water outlet pipe 306, the hot side input end of the second heat exchanger 301b is connected to the output end of the low-temperature heat exchanger module 107, the hot side output end of the second heat exchanger 301b is connected to the input end of the first heat exchanger 301a, the hot side output end of the first heat exchanger 301a is connected to the input end of the low-temperature heat exchanger module 107.
[0037] When the heating return water enters the secondary heater 301, it is divided into two paths, entering the first two-addition 301a and the second two-addition 301b respectively. The condensate before the inlet of the deaerator 108 output by the low-pressure module 107 enters the second two-addition 301b, and enters the first two-addition 301a after heat exchange with the heating return water, and enters the second heat exchanger 304 after heat exchange with the heating return water again, and finally is discharged before the inlet of the low-pressure module 107 after heat exchange with the heating return water in turn.
[0038] Furthermore, the secondary heater 301 adopts the first type of absorption heat pump as the second stage heater 301, which can achieve that the outlet water temperature of the heat pump driven hot water is lower than the inlet water temperature of the hot network water that needs to be heated. In the secondary heater 301, the condensed water before the inlet of the deaerator 108 of the unit heat recovery system is used as high-temperature driving hot water (about 150°C). After the heat exchange in the secondary heater 301, the water temperature of the driving hot water drops to about 65°C, and then it is returned to the unit heat recovery system through an electric pump. By recovering the high-temperature condensate from the heat recovery system, the amount of steam extracted from the low-pressure cylinder 102 to the low-pressure heaters at all levels of the heat recovery system can be increased, which indirectly realizes the application of energy of low-grade steam extraction at all levels (the energy consumption of heating with extraction steam from the low-pressure cylinder 102 is lower than that of heating with exhaust steam from the medium-pressure cylinder 101, where the energy consumption index is exhaust steam from the medium-pressure cylinder 101 > extraction steam from low-pressure heater No. 4 > extraction steam from low-pressure heater No. 3 > extraction steam from low-pressure heater No. 2 > extraction steam from low-pressure heater No. 1), achieving orderly and efficient use of energy. The temperature of the hot network water in the secondary heater 301 can be increased by 5 to 10°C, that is, the outlet water temperature reaches 85 to 90°C, and the outlet water temperature depends on the ratio of the water extraction from the heat recovery system to the water volume of the hot network.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment provides: the three-stage heater 401 is provided with two hot sides and one cold side, the input end of the cold side is connected to the second water supply pipe 306, and the output end of the cold side provides heating to the outside through the heating water supply pipe 405.
[0041] Specifically, one hot side of the three-stage heater 401 is connected to the exhaust steam of the medium-pressure cylinder 101, and the other hot side of the three-stage heater 401 is connected to the exhaust steam of the low-pressure cylinder 102. Both hot side output ends of the three-stage heater 401 are connected to the output end of the condensate pump 106.
[0042] The exhaust steam from the intermediate pressure cylinder 101 and the exhaust steam from the low pressure cylinder 102 are input into the three-stage heater 401 at the same time, and then discharged to the front end of the inlet of the condensate pump 106 after heat exchange, and the heated heating return water is used to supply heat to the outside.
[0043] Furthermore, a second-type absorption heat pump is used as the third-stage heater 401, the exhaust steam from the medium-pressure cylinder 101 of the unit is used as the driving heat source of the third-stage heater 401, and the exhaust steam from the low-pressure cylinder 102 is used as the low-temperature heat source. The condensate drain after heat recovery is recovered to the pipeline before the condensate pump 106. The temperature of the heating water can reach 100-110°C after being heated in the third-stage heater 401, which can meet the external heating load requirements.
