Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of energy saving of aluminum electrolytic cells, and relates to a method and a device for permanently optimizing temperature difference power generation of aluminum electrolytic cells. Background Art

[0002] At present, the power consumption of the electrolytic aluminum industry to produce one ton of aluminum is about 13,000-14,000 kWh, which is much greater than the theoretical calculated value of 6,132 kWh, of which more than 50% of the energy is lost in the form of heat. During the production process of electrolytic aluminum, the internal melt temperature will reach above 950°C, and the temperature of the side wall of the tank shell will also reach above 280°C. At present, the main methods for recovering waste heat from the side of aluminum electrolytic cells are heat exchange technology, organic Rankine cycle technology and thermoelectric power generation technology [Wang Tong, Yang Chengliang, Cheng Jiuyuan, et al. Overview of waste heat recovery and utilization of aluminum electrolytic cells [J]. Shanxi Metallurgy, 2024, 47(06): 74-76+79.]. Among them, thermoelectric power generation technology is based on the Seebeck effect, which can directly convert heat energy into electrical energy, and it has no mechanical moving parts inside. Compared with heat exchange technology and organic Rankine technology, it has the advantages of high stability, longer service life, more stable heat dissipation power and higher energy utilization.

[0003] Patent CN116365925A installs the thermoelectric power generation system at the heat dissipation hole on the side wall of the aluminum electrolytic cell, and uses water cooling to cool the cold end of the thermoelectric power generation system. This solution can recover part of the waste heat, but ignores the weakening effect of the high magnetic field in the electrolysis workshop on the thermoelectric effect. Under the action of the magnetic field, the carriers inside the thermoelectric semiconductor material are affected by the Lorentz force and move to produce a deviation, resulting in a significant reduction in the output power of the power generation system. Patent CN118573052A discloses a thermoelectric power generation device for an aluminum electrolytic cell with a magnetic field shielding effect, which is equipped with a magnetic field shielding cover on the outside of the thermoelectric power generation device. The shielding cover made of iron alloy can well reduce the influence of the magnetic field, and can also shield magnetic fields of different intensities by adjusting the fastening parts. The invention improves the thermoelectric performance of semiconductor thermoelectric power generation devices, but because the heat dissipation fins at the hot end of the power generation device are also shielded by the shielding cover, the air convection heat exchange at the hot end is weakened, resulting in a reduction in the output power of the thermoelectric power generation system. Taking all factors into consideration, the actual waste heat conversion efficiency is low.

[0004] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are: the magnetic field intensity around the aluminum electrolysis cell is relatively high, which affects the movement of carriers and the transmission of current inside the thermoelectric power generation device, resulting in poor power generation performance and low energy utilization of the aluminum electrolysis cell thermoelectric power generation device. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method and device for thermoelectric power generation of aluminum electrolysis tanks with permanent magnet optimization. The magnetic field generated by the upper and lower permanent magnet structures of the device can compensate for the magnetic field generated by aluminum electrolysis at the position of the thermoelectric power generation device, reduce the influence of the magnetic field on the thermoelectric power generation device, and improve its power generation performance. At the same time, the adjustable angle between the upper and lower permanent magnet structures can change the intensity of the compensation magnetic field to achieve the effect of dynamic compensation.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] Furthermore, the permanent magnet type is alloy permanent magnet material, ferrite permanent magnet material or rare earth permanent magnet material, the alloy permanent magnet material is one of aluminum nickel cobalt alloy and iron chromium cobalt alloy or a combination of two; the ferrite permanent magnet material is one of sintered ferrite, bonded ferrite and injection molded ferrite or a combination of at least two; the rare earth permanent magnet material is one of neodymium iron boron and samarium cobalt or a combination of two. Because ferromagnetic materials will interfere with the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet, greatly reduce the surface magnetic induction intensity of the permanent magnet structure, and reduce the compensation effect of the permanent magnet structure;

[0009] Furthermore, the magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet ranges from 1000 to 20000 Gs;

[0010] Furthermore, both ends of the telescopic rod have positioning holes. In addition, the angle between the upper and lower permanent magnetic structures can be changed by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod to achieve the effect of shielding magnetic fields of different strengths. The adjustable angle between the upper and lower permanent magnetic structures is any angle between 0-180°.

[0011] Furthermore, the thermoelectric material in the temperature difference power generation device is one or a combination of two or more of bismuth telluride material, magnesium bismuth material, bismuth copper selenium oxygen material;

[0012] Furthermore, the material of the structural frame is one of nickel-chromium alloy, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, austenitic stainless steel, iron-manganese alloy, manganese-copper alloy, manganese-nickel alloy, and iron-chromium alloy, or a combination of two or more thereof;

[0013] Furthermore, the device is installed in the high-temperature area on the side and top of the aluminum electrolysis cell shell, and the waste heat utilization area of ​​the side shell of the aluminum electrolysis cell is in the range of 10-20m 2 .

[0014] Furthermore, the material of the water-cooled radiator is a high thermal conductivity material, and the internal cooling water flow rate can be adjusted to increase the power generation of the temperature difference power generation device. The material of the water-cooled radiator is aluminum alloy or copper alloy; the internal cooling water flow range of the water-cooled radiator is 0.12m 3 / h~0.6m 3 / h. The greater the cooling water flow rate, the higher the heat transfer efficiency between the water-cooled radiator and the thermoelectric power generation device, and the better the cooling effect on the thermoelectric power generation device.

[0015] Furthermore, the device is installed on the side shell of the aluminum electrolytic cell, the thermoelectric power generation device recovers the waste heat of the shell and converts the thermal energy into electrical energy, the upper and lower permanent magnetic structures sandwich the thermoelectric power generation device in the middle, and the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnetic structure reversely compensates the magnetic field at the position of the thermoelectric power generation device, reducing the influence of the magnetic field on the performance of the thermoelectric power generation and increasing the power generation of the thermoelectric power generation device.

[0016] The method and device for optimizing temperature difference power generation of aluminum electrolytic cell by permanent magnet of the present invention have the following advantages:

The device is installed on the side and top of the aluminum electrolytic cell shell, and the upper permanent magnet structure and the lower permanent magnet structure sandwich the temperature difference power generation device in the middle.
