Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of industrial waste heat recovery, and specifically proposes an adjustable cooling and heating cogeneration system suitable for recovering waste heat from a power plant. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, China's energy development has also entered a new era. China's energy has entered a new stage of high-quality development. Cogeneration technology, as an efficient means of energy conservation, can improve the utilization rate of energy. However, as practice has found, there are still some problems that need to be solved. Thermal power plants convert heat into work based on the Rankine cycle to obtain electrical energy, which is accompanied by a large amount of heat loss. The main losses of thermal power plants are the cold source loss of the steam turbine and the heat loss of the boiler flue gas. After a specific efficiency analysis, it was found that the cold source loss of the steam turbine accounts for about 40% of the heat loss of the thermal power plant, and the heat loss of the boiler accounts for about 8% of the heat loss of the thermal power plant. Cold source loss refers to the need to release a large amount of condensation heat during the steam heat medium cycle, which cannot be completely recovered by cogeneration. In addition, although the exhaust steam in thermal power generation cannot be used in the power generation process, it can be used to supply heating and cooling needs from the perspective of energy cascade utilization, so the overall efficiency can be improved. Since the condensing pressure of the condensing unit is low, the corresponding condensate temperature is also low, which is low-grade waste heat and cannot be used directly for heating. Corresponding technical solutions need to be adopted to increase the circulating water temperature to meet the needs of the heating system. The current recovery method has limited impact on the efficiency of the steam turbine while taking into account the recovery of cold end exhaust steam. Therefore, in this era, in view of the cooling and heating needs of power plants and the cascade utilization of energy, the invention of a combined cooling and heating system for recovering waste heat from power plants is of great significance to the field of industrial waste heat recovery.

[0015] Figure 1 The figure shows that a power plant is equipped with a power generation steam turbine unit, and the unit is currently undergoing a waste steam recovery modification.
[0016] Under the condition of normal operation of the power plant, the waste heat recovery system in the cogeneration scenario includes a steam turbine, a corresponding condensing system, an extraction system for extracting steam from the steam turbine, a water source heat pump heating system, a lithium bromide refrigeration unit cooling system, a water source heat pump heating system, and various connecting pipeline systems.
[0017] The power station boiler 1 burns fuel to generate high-temperature steam. The steam flow is adjusted by the first regulating valve 2. The steam flows to the high-pressure cylinder 3, the medium-pressure cylinder 5, and the low-pressure cylinder 7. The steam volume is controlled by the first regulating valve 2, the second regulating valve 4, and the third regulating valve 6. The steam is then connected to the generator 8 through a pipeline to generate electricity.
[0018] The steam turbine has multiple stages of steam extraction. According to the available pressure level, generally the fourth to fifth level pressure, that is, the pressure of the intermediate pressure cylinder, is used to extract steam in the intermediate pressure cylinder 5. The required steam volume is calculated according to the user's cooling demand in summer, and a hole is drilled in the above-mentioned steam extraction pipeline or a new pipeline is connected to the absorption refrigeration unit 11.
[0019] The absorption refrigeration unit 11 adopts a steam-type lithium bromide refrigeration unit; the steam-type lithium bromide refrigeration unit is generally composed of an evaporator, an absorber, a condenser, a generator, a regenerator, a heat exchanger, a solution circulation pump, a refrigerant pump, etc.; the above pipeline is connected to the generator of the absorption refrigeration unit 11, and the steam in the pipeline heats the dilute lithium bromide solution in the generator to produce water vapor and a concentrated lithium bromide solution. The concentrated lithium bromide solution enters the absorber, and the water vapor passes through the condenser part of the refrigeration unit, where it condenses and releases heat to be converted into high-pressure and low-temperature liquid water. High-pressure and low-temperature liquid water reaches the evaporator through the throttle valve, expands and heats up in the evaporator and vaporizes. During the vaporization process, it absorbs the heat of the chilled water in the evaporator and cools the chilled water. In this process, low-temperature water vapor enters the absorber, diluting the concentration of the lithium bromide aqueous solution, and is then sent back to the generator by the circulating pump to complete the cycle. The chilled water after cooling in the above-mentioned evaporator is connected to the cold demand side with a cold pipe, and there is a valve on the pipe to control the start and stop. The return pipe of the cold user is connected back to the evaporator side of the absorption refrigeration unit 11, and the return pipe is equipped with a pump and a valve.
[0020] The water outlet on the condenser side of the absorption refrigeration unit 11 is connected to the evaporator side of the first water source heat pump 13; a conventional water source heat pump should be composed of components including an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve; the above-mentioned outlet water as the water source evaporates the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant therein on the evaporator side, causing the refrigerant to evaporate into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas. The gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor to increase its temperature and pressure and is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant reaches the condenser and condenses, releasing heat to the circulating water therein, thereby heating the refrigerant. After cooling and condensing into a high-pressure liquid state, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion valve, and after cooling and reducing the pressure, it becomes the initial state of low temperature and low pressure and returns to the evaporator to start a new cycle; the circulating hot water heated by the above condenser is divided into two pipes at the outlet, which are respectively connected to the domestic water pipes with heat demand, and the second channel is other heat demand pipes; the return pipe of the heat demand end 14 is connected to the condenser side of the water source heat pump, and the return pipe on the evaporator side of the first water source heat pump 13 is connected to the return pipe on the condenser side of the absorption refrigeration unit 11. Each pipe is equipped with a valve to control the start and stop, and the return pipe is powered by a pump. The condensed water returns to the boiler feed water to maintain water balance.
[0021] The connection system between the absorption refrigeration unit 11 and the first water source heat pump 13; After the absorption refrigeration refrigeration unit 11 uses the turbine steam to cool the user's cooling needs, there is still usable energy on the original return water side that can be extracted. The innovation of this patent is to further extract the remaining energy in this part of the low-temperature water after refrigeration using a water source heat pump to generate heat to supply the heat demand end, further achieving the effect of cascade utilization of energy. At the same time, the system can be used as a stable and constant source of cold and heat supply, effectively solving the problem of simultaneous supply of cold and heat.
[0022] When the second water source heat pump 15 in the heating system is running, water is taken from the pipeline discharged from the condenser 9 to the cooling tower to the evaporator side of the second water source heat pump 15, and the outlet water is used to evaporate the liquid refrigerant in it. Hot water is produced on the condenser side after heating by the water source heat pump, and is divided into two pipelines at the hot water outlet, namely the domestic water pipeline with heat demand and the other pipeline with heat demand; the return water pipeline at the heat demand end is connected back to the condenser side of the water source heat pump, and the return water on the evaporator side of the second water source heat pump 15 is connected back to the condensate pump 10 to return to the boiler feed water.
[0023] The connection system between the steam turbine and the above-mentioned heating system forms a dynamic heating system. The connection system between the above-mentioned absorption refrigeration unit 11 and the first water source heat pump 13 serves as a constant heat source supply system, which undertakes the supply of part of the heat load, and this system can serve as a supplementary heat source supply system to undertake the supply of other heat loads of heat demand. At the same time, the advantage of this heating system is that it can be adjusted according to comprehensive angles such as heat load, economy, and energy utilization, and feedback can be given to the operation end based on the demand end, thereby avoiding energy waste and ineffective utilization of steam. At the same time, the dynamic heating system and the stable cold and heat supply system connected to the above-mentioned absorption refrigeration unit 11 and the first water source heat pump 13 can be used in combination to supply cold and heat needs under different conditions, effectively reducing energy loss and unnecessary losses.
[0024] according to Figure 2 Describe the specific working process of the system: Taking the modification of the control strategy in a certain power plant as an example, the intermediate exhaust pressure is used to drive the above-mentioned absorption refrigeration unit 11; for the intermediate pressure of the turbine, it is generally above 0.4Mpa, which can drive the refrigeration unit. The low-pressure cylinder exhaust is used to provide water supply for the first water source heat pump 13; based on the equipment selection of this scheme, the steam-type absorption refrigeration unit of the following specifications is taken as the absorption refrigeration unit 11 of this scheme. Assuming that the steam consumption of the product is 3 tons / hour, the size can be compared with the exhaust volume of the intermediate pressure cylinder of the turbine to know whether the product can be used. Similarly, for the products of the first water source heat pump 13 and the second water source heat pump 15, it is only necessary to compare the sum of the heating capacity of the first water source heat pump and the heating capacity of the second water source heat pump 15 with the heat demand. If the heat demand is higher than the total heating capacity, the water source heat pump can be operated.
[0025] Step 1: The known heat demand of the heat user needs to be known as the starting condition for subsequent operations. The heat demand of the heat user is obtained based on the actual demand.
[0026] Step 2: Compare the heat energy that the whole system can provide, and exit the system if it cannot provide the heat demand. Determine whether the energy provided by the first water source heat pump 13 can provide the heat demand around the power plant. Step 3: If the heat demand can be fully provided, further compare the heating capacity of the first water source heat pump 11 with the heat demand to determine whether the first water source heat pump 11 can bear all the heat demand.
[0027] Step 4: If the heating capacity of the first water source heat pump 11 is higher than the heat demand, the absorption refrigeration unit 11 and the first water source heat pump 13 are turned on in sequence to form a stable cold and hot supply system.
[0028] Step 5: If the heating capacity of the first water source heat pump 11 is lower than the heat demand, that is, the system is not sufficient to fully meet the heat demand, then turn on the absorption refrigeration unit 11 and the first water source heat pump 13, and at the same time turn on the condenser 9 and the heating system of the second water source heat pump 15. Step six: obtain the still required heat through the difference between the heat supply of the first water source heat pump 13 and the total heat demand, and convert it into the amount of exhausted steam to be extracted; by controlling the extraction of corresponding exhausted steam, an additional heat source is provided to supplement the still required heat, thereby completing the process.
