Background Art

[0002] As a clean energy with high energy density, hydrogen fuel can be used as an energy carrier to replace gasoline, diesel and other direct combustion, and is also an important industrial gas. In the face of potential large-scale hydrogen demand, water electrolysis is considered to be the most feasible clean hydrogen production technology. There are two methods for hydrogen production by electrolysis of seawater. One is to desalinate seawater by seawater desalination technology before electrolysis, and the other is to directly electrolyze seawater to produce hydrogen. However, the high electricity consumption cost of seawater electrolysis hydrogen production, the cost of electrolyte replenishment and the complexity of hydrogen purification process are the main factors limiting the development of seawater electrolysis hydrogen production and reducing its cost. In the direct seawater electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, it is also necessary to properly remove ion components to ensure the long-term stable operation of the electrolysis equipment. Therefore, it is desirable to use the waste heat of seawater electrolysis hydrogen production for cold electricity and salt desalination multi-effect cogeneration and use its different products for hydrogen purification and electrolyte replenishment to reduce the overall cost of water electrolysis hydrogen production. The thermal cycle system is extremely effective in waste heat utilization, and has diverse operating modes and production benefits.

The electric energy produced by the system can be used for partial self-power supply of the system to reduce power consumption, and the cold energy produced can be used for the preparation of desalinated salt and the drying and purification of hydrogen, thereby simplifying the process of hydrogen purification and electrolyte replenishment, reducing the overall cost of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, and improving the efficiency of hydrogen production by electrolysis of seawater.

[0011] Preferably, the upper desalinated salt separation module and the lower condensation and desalination module are both cylindrical, and the integrated desalinated salt preparation device as a whole is a stack of two upper and lower cylinders.

[0012] Preferably, the filtering ice delivery pipe 17 - 4 is an insulated ice delivery pipe with filtering holes on one side, and the filtering ice delivery pipe 17 - 4 can be four or more symmetrically arranged.

[0016] The second aspect of the present invention provides an integrated method for preparing desalted salt, using the integrated device for preparing desalted salt described in the first aspect of the present invention, which comprises the following steps:

[0026] Preferably, the gravity seawater tank 4 is replenished with seawater from the sea by a pump, and a valve is provided at the outlet of the gravity seawater tank 4 to control the switch and flow rate.

[0027] Preferably, according to the power generation capacity of the power module, the electrolytic cell waste heat cooling and electricity desalination salt cogeneration system can be fully or partially self-sufficient.

[0028] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method for co-producing electrolytic cell waste heat, cooling, electricity and desalinated salt, using the electrolytic cell waste heat, cooling, electricity and desalinated salt co-production system according to the third aspect of the present invention, which comprises the following steps:

[0029] The electrolyzer 1 electrolyzes seawater to produce hydrogen, and the generated high-temperature electrolyte passes through the evaporator 7 as a heat source for the power cycle to provide heat energy, and then undergoes gas-liquid separation in the gas-liquid separator 3, and the separated hydrogen enters the hydrogen purification processor 5 for purification treatment, and finally undergoes freeze drying in the hydrogen dryer 6 for further purification, and finally obtains purified hydrogen;

[0030] In the power cycle, after the organic working fluid is pressurized by the working fluid pump 10, it absorbs heat and evaporates in the evaporator 7 to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam then enters the expander 8 to perform work. The expander 8 performs work and drives the generator 9 to generate electricity through the rotating shaft. The generator 9 provides electrical energy to the working fluid pump 10, the supplementary pump 2, the fresh water pump 18 and the circulating pump 12 through electric wires. The exhaust gas at the outlet of the expander 8 still has a certain temperature. The condensation generator 11 provides heat energy to the absorption refrigeration submodule of the cascade refrigeration module and makes the working fluid of the power module self-condense. Finally, the working fluid pump 10 is pressurized to perform the next cycle.

[0031] In the cascade refrigeration module, the mixed working medium of the absorption refrigeration submodule is transported from the absorber 13 to the condensation generator 11 through the circulating pump 12 for evaporation and separation. After the steam working medium leaves the condensation generator 11, it enters the condenser 14 for condensation, and then throttles, expands and cools through the upper throttle valve 15 to become a cooled working medium (low-temperature working medium). The cooled working medium enters the desalinated salt preparation integrated device 17 through the upper refrigerant inlet 17-3, and successively passes through the wall heat exchanger 17-12 and the upper coil heat exchanger 17-14 to freeze and refrigerate the seawater in the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2, and finally flows out through the upper refrigerant outlet 17-13 and returns to the absorber 13. At the same time, the absorbent in the condensation generator 11 passes through the upper refrigerant inlet 17-3. The refrigerant passes through the absorber 13 nozzle inlet and returns to the absorber 13 to re-form a mixed working fluid with the solute; in the compression refrigeration submodule, the refrigerant is pressurized by the compressor 19 and enters the desalinated salt preparation integrated device 17 through the lower refrigerant inlet 17-9 of the desalinated salt preparation integrated device 17, and condenses and releases heat by using the ice crystals in the ice crystal melting tank 17-8 through the lower coil heat exchanger 17-10, and finally flows out through the lower refrigerant outlet 17-11, and then throttles through the lower throttle valve 20 to expand and cool down to become a low-temperature refrigerant. The low-temperature refrigerant enters the hydrogen dryer 6 for evaporative refrigeration, so that the hydrogen reaches the dew point temperature, freezes the water in the hydrogen, dries the hydrogen, and finally returns to the compressor 19 for pressurization to enter the next cycle;

[0032] In the desalinated salt preparation module, seawater is added to the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2 through the gravity seawater tank 4, and the absorption refrigeration submodule freezes the seawater to precipitate freshwater ice crystals, which are sent to the ice crystal melting tank 17-8 through the filtering ice delivery pipe 17-4. The filtering ice delivery pipe 17-4 filters most of the brine entrained by the ice crystals, and diverts and collects them through the brine diversion tank 17-5. The ice crystals melt in the ice crystal melting tank 17-8 and absorb heat for condensation in the compression refrigeration subcycle, generating fresh water at the same time. The fresh water is supplied to the gas-liquid separator 3 through the fresh water pump 18, and finally the concentrated brine in the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2 is collected by the concentrated brine collection tank 16 for preparing salt;

[0033] In the hydrogen purification module, the electrolyte after the electrolyzer 1 electrolyzes seawater to produce hydrogen is entrained with impure hydrogen and dissipated through the evaporator 7, and then enters the gas-liquid separator 3 for gas-liquid separation. The separated impure hydrogen first enters the hydrogen purification processor 5 for purification to remove most of the impurities, and then enters the hydrogen dryer 6 for low-temperature freeze-drying and purification using a compression refrigeration sub-cycle to obtain purified hydrogen. Finally, the concentrated electrolyte in the gas-liquid separator 3 is supplemented with fresh water produced by the salt preparation module, and then supplied to the electrolyzer 1 through the supplementary pump 2. At this point, the whole system completes the multi-effect cogeneration and hydrogen purification driven by the remaining heat.

[0034] In the present invention, light and concentrated refer to the initial light salt concentration.

[0035] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the integrated device for preparing desalinated salt and the electrolytic cell waste heat cold electricity desalinated salt cogeneration system proposed by the present invention can prepare desalinated salt by freezing desalination, simplifying the electrolyte replenishment process and cost. The electrolytic cell waste heat cold electricity desalinated salt cogeneration system can use the waste heat of seawater electrolysis to drive the system to produce hydrogen through coupling and linkage between different modules to produce multiple effects and purify hydrogen, thereby simplifying the hydrogen purification process and reducing the overall cost of seawater electrolysis to produce hydrogen.

[0056] Combination Figure 1 The working principle of the device of the present invention is described as follows:

[0057] Seawater enters the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2 through the seawater inlet 17-1 until the tank is filled with seawater and the supply is stopped. The refrigerant of the absorption refrigeration subsystem enters the upper desalted salt separation module through the upper refrigerant inlet 17-3, and is successively subjected to evaporative cooling through the wall heat exchanger 17-12 and the upper coil heat exchanger 17-14, and finally flows out through the upper refrigerant outlet 17-13; the seawater in the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2 exchanges heat with the low-temperature refrigerant (accepts low temperature) and begins to freeze and precipitate freshwater ice crystals. The freshwater ice crystals float to the water surface due to their low density. At this time, the water surface drops, and the gravity seawater tank 4 continues to introduce seawater into the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2. Since the seawater inlet 17-1 is set at a height a certain distance from the water surface of the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2, the impact of seawater on the center of the water surface will pass through the water The flow spreads around and drives the ice crystals into the filtering ice delivery pipe 17-4; the ice crystals carry part of the brine through the filtering ice delivery pipe 17-4 to filter the brine and transport the ice crystals, and the filtered brine flows through the filter holes to the brine diversion groove 17-5 to be diverted and collected separately, and the ice crystals enter the ice crystal melting groove 17-8; the refrigerant of the compression refrigeration sub-cycle enters the lower condensation and desalination module through the lower refrigerant inlet 17-9, exchanges heat with the ice crystals through the lower coil heat exchanger 17-10, and then flows out through the lower refrigerant outlet 17-11, and the ice crystals absorb heat and melt to generate fresh water, which flows out through the fresh water outlet 17-7. Finally, with the continuous precipitation of fresh water ice crystals, the seawater in the ice crystal precipitation groove 17-2 is continuously concentrated, and flows out through the concentrated brine outlet 17-6 for collection for salt preparation.

[0058] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working principle of the system of the present invention is described as follows:

[0059] The electrolyzer 1 electrolyzes seawater to produce hydrogen, and the high-temperature electrolyte produced passes through the evaporator 7 as a heat source for the power cycle to provide heat energy, and then undergoes gas-liquid separation in the gas-liquid separator 3, and the separated hydrogen enters the hydrogen purification processor 5 for purification treatment, and finally is further purified by freeze drying in the hydrogen dryer 6 to finally obtain purified hydrogen. In the power cycle, after the organic working fluid is pressurized by the working fluid pump 10, it absorbs heat and evaporates in the evaporator 7 to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and the high-temperature and high-pressure steam then enters the expander 8 to perform work, and the expander 8 performs work and drives the generator 9 to generate electricity through the rotating shaft, and the generator 9 provides electrical energy to the working fluid pump 10, the supplementary pump 2, the fresh water pump 18 and the circulating pump 12 through electric wires, and the exhaust gas at the outlet of the expander 8 still has a certain temperature, and provides heat energy to the absorption refrigeration submodule of the cascade refrigeration module through the condensation generator 11, while causing the working fluid of the power module to self-condense, and finally pressurizes the working fluid pump 10 for the next cycle. In the cascade refrigeration module, the mixed working medium of the absorption refrigeration submodule is transported from the absorber 13 to the condensation generator 11 through the circulation pump 12 for evaporation and separation. After the steam working medium leaves the condensation generator 11, it enters the condenser 14 for condensation, and then throttles, expands and cools down through the upper throttle valve 15 to become a low-temperature working medium. The low-temperature working medium enters the desalinated salt preparation integrated device 17 through the upper refrigerant inlet 17-3, and successively passes through the wall heat exchanger 17-12 and the upper coil heat exchanger 17-14 to freeze and refrigerate the seawater in the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2, and finally flows out through the upper refrigerant outlet 17-13 and returns to the absorber 13. At the same time, the absorbent in the condensation generator 11 passes through the absorption The nozzle inlet of the collector 13 returns to the absorber 13 to re-form a mixed working fluid with the solute; in the compression refrigeration sub-module, the refrigerant is pressurized by the compressor 19 and enters the desalinated salt preparation integrated device 17 through the lower refrigerant inlet 17-9 of the desalinated salt preparation integrated device 17, and condenses and releases heat by using the ice crystals in the ice crystal melting tank 17-8 through the lower coil heat exchanger 17-10, and finally flows out through the lower refrigerant outlet 17-11, and then throttles through the lower throttle valve 20 to expand and cool down to become a low-temperature refrigerant. The low-temperature refrigerant enters the hydrogen dryer 6 for evaporative refrigeration, so that the hydrogen reaches the dew point temperature, freezes the water in the hydrogen, dries the hydrogen, and finally returns to the compressor 19 for pressurization to enter the next cycle.In the desalinated salt preparation module, seawater is replenished into the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2 through the gravity seawater tank 4, and the absorption refrigeration submodule freezes the seawater to precipitate freshwater ice crystals. The freshwater ice crystals are sent to the ice crystal melting tank 17-8 through the filtering ice delivery pipe 17-4. The filtering ice delivery pipe 17-4 filters most of the brine entrained by the ice crystals, and diverts and collects it through the brine diversion tank 17-5. The ice crystals melt in the ice crystal melting tank 17-8 and absorb heat to condense for the compression refrigeration sub-cycle, while generating fresh water. The fresh water is supplied to the gas-liquid separator 3 through the fresh water pump 18. Finally, the concentrated brine in the ice crystal precipitation tank 17-2 is collected by the concentrated brine collection tank 16 for preparing salt. In the hydrogen purification module, the electrolyte after the electrolyzer 1 electrolyzes seawater to produce hydrogen is entrained with impure hydrogen and dissipated through the evaporator 7, and then enters the gas-liquid separator 3 for gas-liquid separation. The separated impure hydrogen first enters the hydrogen purification processor 5 for purification to remove most of the impurities, and then enters the hydrogen dryer 6 for low-temperature freeze-drying and purification using a compression refrigeration sub-cycle to obtain purified hydrogen. Finally, the concentrated electrolyte in the gas-liquid separator 3 is supplemented with fresh water produced by the salt preparation module, and then supplied to the electrolyzer 1 through the supplementary pump 2. At this point, the whole system completes the multi-effect cogeneration and hydrogen purification driven by the remaining heat.
