Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cold storage devices, and in particular to a cold storage device, a parameter optimization solution method, a system, a processing device and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] At present, the measures taken to reduce carbon dioxide emissions include: 1) improving energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by improving energy use, for example, using waste heat and waste pressure, using high-efficiency equipment, and using air conditioning and heating equipment reasonably; 2) using renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy. Using these energy sources instead of fossil fuels can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. As a new green, zero-carbon, and zero-waste method, natural gas pipeline pressure difference power generation and comprehensive energy utilization have the functions of potential conversion and reuse, consumption reduction, energy conservation and emission reduction, and zero carbon, and are currently receiving full attention in the field of natural gas transportation. Natural gas pressure difference power generation uses pressure energy to introduce natural gas into an expansion device, converts pressure energy into mechanical energy through an expander, and then drives the generator to generate electricity, ultimately realizing the conversion of pressure energy into electrical energy.

[0003] Natural gas pressure difference power generation mainly includes three systems: 1) Pressure difference power generation and transmission and distribution system, which is mainly used to expand high-pressure and large-flow natural gas through an impeller or rotor expander according to the isentropic principle. The expansion works on the impeller or rotor to drive the impeller to rotate. The rotating impeller or rotor outputs the expanded gas and transmits the rotational mechanical energy to the generator at the same time. The power generation is transmitted externally, mainly including an expander, a power transmission device, a generator and an auxiliary system. 2) Cold energy extraction and utilization system, according to different cooling needs in different seasons, the expanded low-temperature natural gas is divided into two paths. The two paths are exchanged with cold storage equipment to achieve cold exchange. One path is for the life cold in the station, that is, for the air conditioning system. Usually, ethylene glycol solution is used to exchange cold with low-temperature natural gas. The cold ethylene glycol is exchanged with water again in the non-explosion-proof area. Finally, the cold water enters the cold water air conditioning system to provide cooling for the cabinet room, corridor, dormitory, kitchen and office; the other path is a reserved external ice-making interface, that is, the heat medium inlet and outlet of the cold storage. If the cold energy is not used in ice making, the heat medium inlet and outlet of the cold storage can be closed. 3) Low-temperature natural gas reheating system: In order to meet the specified temperature requirements for natural gas transmission, the cold natural gas after cold energy extraction or expansion needs to be reheated to ≥0°C. A reheating heat exchanger with air as the heat source should be used. When the air temperature is low, an electric heating reheating heat exchanger is used. The combination of the two complements each other to meet production needs. If the seasonal temperature difference changes greatly, the electric heating reheater automatically adjusts the power put into use according to the air temperature reheating output temperature, thereby achieving energy-saving design.

[0004] Therefore, the cold storage equipment in the cold energy extraction and utilization system plays the dual functions of air conditioning cooling and ice making in this link, and plays a vital role in improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of natural gas pressure difference power generation. The cold storage equipment used for cold storage, air conditioning cooling and ice making in the prior art mainly includes internal melting ice storage equipment, ice packaging cold storage equipment, ice crystal cold storage equipment and water cold storage equipment. However, the internal melting ice storage equipment has the problem of low heat exchange efficiency, the ice packaging cold storage equipment has the problem of uneven coolant flow distribution and low cold storage temperature, the ice crystal cold storage equipment has the problem of small refrigeration capacity and cold storage capacity, and the water cold storage equipment has the problem of easy rusting of pipes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device with a large cooling area (the cooling area is increased, which is beneficial to improve the heat exchange efficiency, thereby overcoming the heat exchange problems of the internal melting ice storage equipment The invention relates to a cold storage device with the advantages of: low efficiency), uniform distribution of coolant flow (which can balance the cold storage temperature, thus solving the problems of uneven distribution of coolant flow and low cold storage temperature in ice-packed cold storage equipment), compact structure and small thermal resistance (compact structure is conducive to modular and intensive layout, and multiple modules are compactly combined to achieve higher cold storage capacity in the same floor space; small thermal resistance means low friction in the flow of pipes, which is not easy to scale and rust, thereby improving the small refrigeration capacity and cold storage capacity of ice crystal cold storage equipment, and the easy rust of pipes in water cold storage equipment).

[0090] The cold storage equipment used for cold storage air conditioning and ice making in the prior art mainly includes internal melting ice storage equipment, ice packaging storage equipment, ice crystal storage equipment and water storage equipment. The main problems of the above equipment are as follows:

[0091] (1) For the internal melting ice storage equipment, also known as the complete freezing ice storage system, it is a heat exchange device composed of coils immersed in a water-filled storage tank. When storing cold, the low-temperature ethylene glycol aqueous solution (or secondary refrigerant) produced by the chiller enters the coil for circulation, causing the water outside the tube to freeze (the water in the ice storage tank can be completely frozen). When releasing cold, the high-temperature ethylene glycol aqueous solution returning from the air-conditioning load end also enters the coil for circulation, gradually melting the ice on the outer surface of the coil; at the same time, the temperature of the ethylene glycol aqueous solution drops and is supplied to the user again. This system has the advantages of low failure rate, high IPF value, steel pipe or plastic pipe, easy maintenance, ethylene glycol solution in the pipe, small capacity, high flow rate, good heat transfer, closed system, not easy to leak and small storage tank volume. However, due to the need for a lower cold storage temperature and the supply of air-conditioning loads through a heat exchanger, there is a problem of low thermal efficiency.

[0092] (2) For ice-encapsulated cold storage equipment, the cold storage medium is encapsulated in a small spherical or plate-shaped container, and many such small cold storage containers are densely stacked in a sealed tank or an open tank body, thereby forming an encapsulated cold storage device. It has similar performance to the internal ice melting system, especially the closed system, simple structure, easy installation, operation and maintenance. The pressure storage tank can be designed as vertical or horizontal with various specifications and capacities according to different construction sites. It can also be set indoors and outdoors, on the ground or on the roof to save floor space, and some can even be used as architectural decorations. Encapsulated ice is a widely used cold storage system. Its main disadvantage is that the amount of refrigerant ethylene glycol used is large and the cold storage temperature is low.

[0093] (3) For ice crystal cold storage equipment, the cold storage freezing temperature is high, and the cold storage and cold release speed is high. However, the biggest disadvantage of this cold storage system is that the ice maker requires special design and manufacturing, which is expensive. At the same time, the refrigeration capacity and cold storage capacity are relatively small, and it is not currently suitable for large air conditioning systems.

[0094] (4) For water storage cooling equipment, the device structure is simple and easy to operate and manage. However, water of different temperatures in the cooling tank is easy to mix, which affects the cooling effect. In order to prevent the mixing of supply and return water, the application design has high requirements. In addition, the cooling density of the water storage system is low, and it only uses the sensible heat of water, which requires a large area and investment. Due to the use of open water storage tanks, water is easy to grow bacteria and algae when it comes into contact with air, and the pipes are easy to rust.

[0095] In summary, combined with the technical characteristics of the cold storage device that generates cold energy by pressure difference, there is an urgent need for a cold storage device with the advantages of large cooling area, uniform distribution of coolant flow, compact structure, and small thermal resistance. At the same time, in view of the current situation of parameter calculation and model lack of cold storage process of cold storage device, there is an urgent need for a cold storage device and its parameter optimization solution method to overcome the technical defects of the existing technology. Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cold storage device, including a box body, a plurality of cold storage plate groups and partitions, wherein each cold storage plate group includes a plurality of cold storage plates arranged in a transverse arrangement; a plurality of cold storage plate groups are arranged in a transverse arrangement in the box body, and the upper and lower parts of the box body are provided with spaces for the passage of a coolant; a partition is provided between every two cold storage plate groups; the partitions are numbered 1, 2, 3...n, the tops of the partitions numbered odd are fixedly connected to the top of the box body, and the bottoms of the partitions numbered even are fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body; a liquid inlet for the coolant to flow in is provided on one side of the lower part of the box body, and a liquid outlet for the coolant to flow out is provided on one side of the upper part of the box body; coolant is contained in each cold storage plate, and two rows of protrusion structures are provided on both sides of each cold storage plate, and the protrusion structures of two adjacent cold storage plates are staggered to form a coolant flow channel. An embodiment of the present invention also provides a parameter optimization solution method for a cold storage device, comprising: establishing a cold storage model and a cold release model of the cold storage device according to the basic principles of thermal balance and one-dimensional heat exchange thermal resistance network, wherein the cold storage model includes a heat balance equation on the ethylene glycol side, a heat balance equation on the cold storage plate side, and a heat transfer equation between the ethylene glycol and the cold storage plate, and the cold release model includes a heat exchange model on the ethylene glycol side and a heat exchange model on the cold storage plate side; using the least squares method to fit the physical parameters of the coolant and the coolant of the cold storage device; based on the physical parameters of ethylene glycol and water in the cold storage device, solving the established cold storage model and the cold release model to obtain the heat transferred from the cold storage plate to the coolant of the cold storage device, as well as the cold storage rate, cold storage capacity, cold release rate and cold release capacity of the cold storage device.

[0096] Example 1

[0097] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a cold storage device, including a box body 1, a cold storage plate group 2 and a partition 3, wherein the number of the cold storage plate groups 2 is five, and each cold storage plate group 2 includes four cold storage plates 21 arranged transversely.

[0098] The box body 1 is formed by a bottom plate 11, a side wall 12 and a cover plate 13 which are fixedly connected. Five cold storage plate groups 2 are arranged horizontally in the box body 1. Spaces for the passage of the coolant (ethylene glycol aqueous solution) are provided at the upper and lower parts of the box body 1. A partition 3 is provided between every two cold storage plate groups 2. The tops of the first and third partitions 3 in the box body 1 are fixedly connected to the cover plate 13 of the box body 1, and the bottoms of the second and fourth partitions 3 in the box body 1 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11 of the box body 1.

[0099] Each cold storage plate 21 contains a cold storage agent (water), and two rows of protrusion structures 22 are arranged on both sides of each cold storage plate 21, and the protrusion structures 22 of two adjacent cold storage plates 21 are arranged in an alternating manner to form a flow channel for the ethylene glycol aqueous solution. The disturbance generated when the ethylene glycol aqueous solution passes through the protrusion structure 22 can increase the heat transfer coefficient and enhance the heat transfer effect. At the same time, the protrusion structure 22 serves as a buffer space for the volume expansion of the water in the cold storage plate 21 when it freezes, and plays a buffering role on the expansion force exerted on the cold storage plate 21 itself.

[0100] A liquid inlet 14 is provided on one side of the lower part of the box 1 for the inflow of low-temperature ethylene glycol aqueous solution, and a liquid outlet 15 is provided on one side of the upper part of the box 1 for the outflow of the ethylene glycol aqueous solution after heat exchange. The low-temperature ethylene glycol aqueous solution is used to transfer cold energy to the chiller air conditioner in the pressure difference power generation cold energy system station or to outside the factory for ice making.

[0101] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, considering that the cold storage and cold release processes and the time between the completion of cold storage and the start of cold release are all long, in order to reduce the cold loss caused by heat exchange between the cold storage device and the outside world, the box 1 needs to take good cold preservation measures and also needs to be provided with functional structures such as protective layers and moisture-proof layers. Therefore, the bottom plate 11, side wall 12 and cover plate 13 of the box 1 all adopt a cold preservation structure. The bottom plate 11 of the box 1 is the first outer partition, the perlite concrete layer and the first inner partition from the outside to the inside, and the first waterproof layer is provided on both sides of the perlite concrete layer; the side wall 12 of the box 1 is the second outer partition, the first polyurethane foam plastic layer, the second inner partition and the metal film layer from the outside to the inside, and the first waterproof layer is also provided between the second inner partition and the metal film layer; the cover plate 13 of the box 1 is the third outer partition, the second polyurethane foam plastic layer, the third inner partition and the rubber layer from the outside to the inside, and the third waterproof layer is also provided between the second polyurethane foam plastic layer and the third inner partition.

[0102] In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the protruding structures 22 on each cold storage plate 21 is 30 mm and the height is 5 mm. The protruding structures 22 on both sides of each cold storage plate 21 are staggered to form a 5 mm ethylene glycol aqueous solution flow channel.

[0103] In a preferred embodiment, three blind holes 23 are provided in the middle of each cold storage plate 21 for bonding the two sides of each cold storage plate 21 to prevent the cold storage plate 21 from bulging in the middle due to expansion when freezing, reducing the flow area of ​​the ethylene glycol aqueous solution and damaging the cold storage plate group 2, thereby protecting the cold storage plate group 2.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment, the coolant is a medium that transports the generated cold to the cold storage agent. The following aspects should be considered in its selection: it is in a liquid state at the operating temperature of the cold storage air conditioning system and does not solidify; it has a high specific heat capacity, and the system flow rate for transporting a certain amount of cold can be reduced; the density is relatively small, which is conducive to reducing the transportation resistance; when the system is running, there is no danger of combustion and explosion. Therefore, freezing temperature, corrosiveness, thermal properties, chemical stability and safety are all key considerations for the selection and proportioning of the coolant. Ethylene glycol is the most commonly used coolant in the cold storage air conditioning system, and additives have been added to prevent metal corrosion, foam formation, etc. Ethylene glycol solutions of different concentrations can be configured according to different needs. Ethylene glycol solutions of different concentrations have different properties. The higher the concentration, the lower the freezing point, but the greater the viscosity, which makes the flow resistance greater and the heat exchange effect worse; the lower the concentration, the better the heat exchange effect, the lower the resistance, but the higher the freezing point. After comprehensive comparison and analysis, the coolant of this embodiment adopts ethylene glycol aqueous solution with a concentration of 50%, which has the advantages of suitable freezing temperature, low corrosiveness, good thermal and chemical stability, safety and reliability, etc.

[0105] Example 2

[0106] This embodiment provides a parameter optimization solution method, comprising the following steps:

[0107] 1) Simplify the cold storage process and cold release process of the cold storage device.

[0108] Specifically, the cold storage process of a single cold storage plate 21 in the cold storage device includes four stages:

[0109] The first stage is when the water starts from an initial temperature T i Start cooling down to temperature T N , at this time ice crystals begin to appear, temperature T h The temperature of the water in the cold storage plate 21 decreases due to the reduction of internal energy, and even if it drops to the freezing point T m Below the supercooling state, its crystal phase still remains in the liquid phase.

[0110] The second stage is the process from the appearance of nucleation to the completion of ice crystal growth, which is called the ice crystal growth process. This process starts with ice crystal nucleation. Once nucleation occurs, dendritic ice crystals will grow from the nucleation point to the supercooled area, and finally form thin flakes of ice distributed in the area where the water has been cooled. In the short period from the beginning of nucleation to the completion of ice crystal growth, the latent heat released during the ice crystal formation process causes the water temperature, which was originally in a supercooled state, to rise to the freezing point corresponding to the pressure inside the ball. Once it rises to the freezing point, the growth of the ice crystal ends.

[0111] The third stage is the phase change process from the completion of ice crystal growth to the freezing of all water in the plate, which is called the water-ice latent heat storage process. This process starts from the completion of ice crystal growth, and the thick ice layer grows from the inner surface of the container to the center below the freezing point until the water in the plate is completely frozen.

[0112] The fourth stage is the process of cooling the ice from the freezing point to the same as the set temperature T of the coolant inlet, which is called the ice sensible heat storage process.

[0113] The cold release process of a single cold storage plate 21 in the cold storage device is opposite to the cold storage process, and the specific process will not be repeated.

[0114] Specifically, in the process of model establishment, in order to facilitate the solution, the minor factors in the complex cold storage process and the cold release process are simplified as follows without affecting the simulation results or having little effect on the simulation results:

[0115] ① Considering the large ratio of the area to the thickness of the cold storage plate 21, it is regarded as an infinitely large plane one-dimensional heat transfer.

[0116] ② Ignore the heat loss of the entire cold storage device.

[0117] ③ Ignore the changes in the volume of ice and water during the freezing and melting processes.

[0118] ④ Ignore the heat storage of the cold storage plate 21 wall.

[0119] ⑤ The heat transfer of the cold storage plate 21 is symmetrical, and the thickness center line of the cold storage plate 21 and the center line of the coolant flow channel are insulation lines.

[0120] 2) Based on the simplified results and the basic principles of heat balance and one-dimensional heat exchange thermal resistance network, a cold storage model of the cold storage device is established, including the heat balance equation on the ethylene glycol side, the heat balance equation on the cold storage plate side, and the heat transfer equation between ethylene glycol and the cold storage plate.

[0121] Specifically, the cold storage plate 21 is divided into n micro-elements along the flow direction of the brine, and each micro-element is calculated using the heat balance equation and the heat transfer equation at each time step, and the ice thickness at each moment is iteratively calculated, and the brine temperature calculated each time is used as the inlet temperature of the next micro-element, and the calculated temperature of each micro-element is used as the initial condition for the heat transfer calculation of the next micro-element, specifically:

[0122] 2.1) Establish the heat balance equation on the ethylene glycol side.

[0123] Specifically, take any microelement in the coolant flow channel as the control body j, with a length of △l. The heat absorbed by the coolant after flowing through the △l long pipe section should be equal to the heat transferred to the coolant by the cold storage plate 21, and the heat balance equation on the ethylene glycol side is obtained:

Q wall,i,j The heat flow direction is from the cold storage plate 21 to the coolant, that is, the value is positive during the cold release process and negative during the cold storage process.

The water temperature in this process remains unchanged at 0°C. The heat balance equation of the new ice is:

[0163] Specifically, the concentration of the ethylene glycol solution used as the coolant in the cold storage device of the present invention is about 50%, and the temperature entering the cold storage device is generally -5°C to -11°C. Under this condition, the physical properties of the ethylene glycol solution are: density ρ = 1045 kg / m 3 , dynamic viscosity is μ = 5.95 × 10 -3 Pa·s; thermal conductivity is λ=0.48W / (m·℃). The flow of the coolant in the flow channel is approximately treated as the flow in the tube. In the present invention, the width of the flow channel is 0.005m and the length is 0.49m, then the equivalent diameter d(m) is d=4f / U=(4×0.005×0.49) / (2(0.005+0.49))=0.0099m, where f represents the cross-sectional area of ​​the tube and U represents the circumference of the circle around the location. Re f Reynolds number, μ represents the flow velocity, the unit is m / s; Re f The value of is much smaller than 2300, so the flow of the coolant in the flow channel is laminar flow.

[0174] 3) Based on the simplified results, according to the basic principles of thermal balance and one-dimensional heat exchange resistance network, a cold release model of the cold storage device is established, specifically:

[0175] 3.1) Based on the simplified results, a cold release model of the cold storage device is established according to the basic principles of thermal balance and one-dimensional heat transfer thermal resistance network.

[0176] Specifically, Figure 6 The energy balance diagram of the cold release process is shown in FIG. Like the cold storage model of the cold storage device, the cold release model of the cold storage device includes a heat exchange model on the ethylene glycol side and a heat exchange model on the cold storage plate side.

[0177] The calculation of the water temperature rise process, the cold storage rate and the cold storage capacity are the same as the cold storage model. The following only introduces the melting stage of ice. In the melting stage of ice, the sensible heat of ice is ignored, and the heat transferred by the coolant through the cold storage plate wall is all used for melting ice. At the boundary layer between ice and water, the temperature is always kept at 0℃, and the equation form is similar to the cold storage model.

[0192] Specifically, the thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of ethylene glycol and water are the basis for studying the flow and heat transfer of cold storage systems. The traditional chart-checking method is inefficient and inaccurate, and is not suitable for the requirements of system simulation and computer-aided design. It is replaced by a physical property calculation formula with higher accuracy. Since the physical property calculation of ethylene glycol and water must be repeatedly called and iteratively solved in the program, the accuracy, stability and speed of the thermophysical property calculation directly affect the overall calculation effect of the system. The present invention uses the least squares method to give the physical property fitting results of ethylene glycol and water, which has higher accuracy and can meet the results of engineering calculations.

[0193] Specifically, the physical property parameters include thermodynamic property data and thermophysical property data.

In the present invention, the concentration of ethylene glycol is 50%, the fitting temperature range is -10°C to 15°C, and the temperature range of water is 0°C to 15°C.

[0215] 4.4) Fit the thermophysical properties data of water.

[0216] Specifically, the thermal conductivity of water (W / (m·K)) is:

[0217] λ water =-0.369078+5.110079e -3 ×(t water +273.15)-6.189234e -4 ×

[0218] (t water +273.15) 2 +3.693561e -10 ×(t water +273.15) 3 (32)

[0219] Specifically, the data in Table 1 below are the physical property parameters of ethylene glycol and water calculated according to the above formula, and the correlation coefficients with the actual values obtained by referring to industry data tables and manuals are calculated by the following formula:

[0220]

[0221] where x i represents the actual parameter value; y i represents the corresponding parameter value after fitting, the parameter x' = ∑x i / n, and the parameter y' = ∑y i / n.

[0222] It can be seen from Table 1 that the correlation coefficients of all physical property parameters are greater than 0.99, which proves that the calculation formula using cubic polynomial fitting has high accuracy and can be applied in simulation and optimization design:

[0226] 5.1) Establish a ice storage model.

[0227] Specifically, during the cold storage process, the phase state of the secondary refrigerant in the cold storage plate 21 first changes from water to ice-water mixture and finally to ice; the cold release process is the opposite. The heat exchange of different phase states with the secondary refrigerant is also different. To facilitate modeling, the ice content X is introduced, which is defined as the percentage of the mass M ice of ice in the cold storage plate 21 to the total mass M of the secondary refrigerant in the cold storage plate 21, and an ice storage model is established:

[0228] X = M ice / M(34)

[0229] where the range of the ice content X is [0, 1]. When X = 0, it means that the secondary refrigerant in the cold storage plate 21 is all water, in the all-water stage; when X = 1, it means that the secondary refrigerant in the cold storage plate 21 is all ice, in the all-ice stage; when 0 < X < 1, it means that the secondary refrigerant in the cold storage plate 21 is an ice-water mixture, in the ice-water coexistence stage.
