Description

Technical Field

At present, commonly used heat storage technologies include molten salt heat storage, hot water heat storage, magnesium brick heat storage, and hydride thermochemical heat storage. In molten salt heat storage, the solidification temperature of molten salt is relatively high. In order to prevent the solidification of molten salt from blocking the pipeline, a complex preheating system and anti-condensation protection system need to be designed; in hot water heat storage, the saturated steam pressure is higher when the temperature is higher, and the heat storage density is lower.

The heat storage density is usually low, generally below 500kJ / kg.

A section of reaction water replenishment pipeline 18 is provided between the water supply pump 6 and the low-temperature hot water storage tank 3, which is used to replenish the reaction water of the low-temperature hot water storage tank 3. A section of reaction steam replenishment pipeline 19 is provided on the steam supply main pipe 15, and the reaction steam replenishment pipeline 19 is connected to the heat release steam inlet 22, which is used for emergency steam replenishment of the heat release reaction of the thermochemical heat storage device 1. A heat exchanger system pipeline 17 is also provided on the steam supply main pipe 15, and the high-temperature end of the heat exchanger system pipeline 17 is connected to the steam outlet 21 of the thermochemical heat storage device 1, and the low-temperature section of the heat exchanger system pipeline 17 is connected to the heat release steam inlet 22 of the thermochemical heat storage device 1; a heat exchanger 9 is provided in the heat exchanger system pipeline 17.

[0018] The thermochemical heat storage device 1 is a container that can withstand high temperatures. The thermochemical heat storage device 1 has a heat preservation layer on the outside and thermochemical heat storage materials, an electric heater 7 and a steam generator 8 on the inside.

[0019] The thermochemical heat storage material is a hydroxide heat storage material. The hydroxide heat storage material is Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Mg(OH)2 or Ba(OH)2. The thermochemical heat storage material can also be a material that can be decomposed into water and other reactants when heated in a reversible reaction.

[0020] The thermochemical heat storage material mainly utilizes the reaction between water (steam) and metal oxides to achieve heat storage and release. The chemical reaction principle is:

[0021] The electric heater 7 is a resistive heater used to heat the thermochemical heat storage material and convert electrical energy into thermochemical energy.

[0022] The steam generator 8 is a built-in heat exchange tube, the interior of which is water and steam medium; the heat exchange tube is a finned heat exchange tube, which is modularly designed and produced as an integrated whole with the thermochemical heat storage material, and its function is to reduce the heat exchange resistance between the thermochemical heat storage material and the water and steam in the finned heat exchange tube, and to enhance the heat exchange.

[0023] The high-temperature heat storage tank 2 has a built-in high-temperature heat storage material and a tubular heat exchanger. The function of the high-temperature heat storage tank 2 is to absorb the high-quality heat of the high-temperature steam discharged during the heat storage process, and the medium in the tube is steam. The high-temperature heat storage material is an explicit heat storage material and a phase change heat storage material. The explicit heat storage material can be concrete, steel or sand. The phase change heat storage material can be molten salt, paraffin, sugar alcohol or polyethylene.

[0024] The heat storage medium of the low-temperature hot water storage tank 3 is water, and steam is directly injected for mixed heat exchange. The low-temperature hot water storage tank 3 is used to directly inject steam or hot water after heat exchange in the high-temperature heat storage tank 2 into the hot water tank for mixed heat exchange with water during the heat storage process. Its function is to absorb the low-grade heat of the high-temperature steam discharged during the heat storage process.

[0025] The heat exchanger 9 can be a shell and tube type, a plate type or a microchannel heat exchanger. Its function is that in the later stage of heat release, when the temperature of the high-temperature heat storage tank 2 is not enough to evaporate the water at the outlet of the steam supply pump 4, the heat exchanger system pipeline 17 is opened to heat the reaction water at the outlet of the steam supply pump 4 through the main steam at the outlet of the thermochemical heat storage device 1.

[0026] The deaerator 5 is used to remove dissolved oxygen in the water to prevent corrosion of the steam generator and ensure safe operation.

[0027] The water feed pump 6 is used to transport water to the steam generator for heating, thereby ensuring the outlet steam pressure of the steam generator 8 .

[0028] The steam supply pump 4 transports the reaction water to the low-temperature hot water storage tank 3 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 2 for heat exchange and evaporation, thereby providing reaction water for the thermochemical heat storage device 1 .

[0029] In the embodiment, the specific working process of the present invention is as follows: during heat storage, the electric heater 7 inside the thermochemical heat storage device 1 is heated, and then the high-temperature heat storage material absorbs heat to react chemically, releasing high-temperature water vapor, which enters the low-temperature water storage tank 3 after heat exchange and heat storage in the high-temperature heat storage tank 2. During heat storage, the residual heat of the steam released is graded and completely stored. At this time, the first valve 10 and the second valve 11 are opened, and the third valve 12 and the fourth valve 13 are closed. During heat release, the hot water stored in the low-temperature water storage tank 3 is transported to the high-temperature heat storage tank 2 for heat exchange through the steam supply pump 4. After heat exchange, it becomes water vapor and enters the thermochemical heat storage device 1 to react chemically with the high-temperature heat storage material to release heat. At this time, the first valve 10 and the second valve 11 are closed, and the third valve 12 and the fourth valve 13 are opened. In the late stage of heat release, when the temperature of the high-temperature heat storage tank 2 is insufficient to evaporate the water at the outlet of the steam supply pump 4, the heat exchanger system pipeline 17 is opened, and the reaction water at the outlet of the steam supply pump 4 is heated by the main steam at the outlet of the thermochemical heat storage device 1. At the same time, water from the deaerator 5 is transported to the thermochemical heat storage device 1 through the water supply pump 6 to absorb heat and become steam for power generation and heating. The bypass pipe 16 controls the stability of the outlet steam parameters by adjusting the fifth valve 14. During the startup phase of a new device or when the reaction water is lost, the reaction water replenishment pipe 18 is used to replenish the low-temperature hot water storage tank 3 with reaction water. When the high-temperature heat storage tank 2 and the low-temperature hot water storage tank 3 fail, the steam supply main pipe 15 connected to the thermochemical heat storage device 1 is used for accident steam replenishment of the exothermic reaction of the thermochemical heat storage device 1 through the reaction steam replenishment pipe 19.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
