Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of compressors and relates to a method for reducing the energy consumption of nitrogen compressors. Background Art
[0002] In the process of global industrialization, the continuous growth of energy consumption has become a common challenge faced by various industries. Especially in high-energy-consuming fields such as chemical industry, metallurgy, and oxygen production, compressors, as core power equipment, often account for more than 30%-50% of the production cost in terms of energy consumption, becoming a key link for enterprises to optimize operational efficiency. Centrifugal nitrogen compressors are widely used in oxygen production systems, nitrogen circulation processes, and gas boosting processes in chemical production due to their characteristics of high flow rate and high pressure. However, many in-service nitrogen compressors have components aging due to their long design years or long-term operation, resulting in significantly higher energy consumption than modern equipment. Taking the SVK16-3S centrifugal compressor in a certain oxygen plant as an example, the operating power of this equipment is as high as 1560 kW, which is 10%-20% higher than that of similar equipment of new models, and the additional cost caused by high energy consumption exceeds one million yuan per year. This phenomenon is not an isolated case in the industrial field, and many old compressors used by enterprises generally have problems of low efficiency and serious energy waste.
[0003] In the prior art, the improvement methods for compressor energy consumption problems mainly include multiple directions such as operating parameter adjustment, replacing high-efficiency components, and introducing control systems. First of all, operating parameter adjustment is a relatively common energy-saving measure. For example, by changing the guide vane opening or manually adjusting the speed, the compressor can approach a higher efficiency under specific working conditions. However, this method is limited by the original aerodynamic characteristics of the equipment, and the efficiency improvement range is usually only between 3%-5%, and it is difficult to maintain a stable effect under variable working conditions (such as seasonal temperature changes or production load fluctuations). Secondly, replacing high-efficiency components (such as three-dimensional impellers) is considered an effective way to improve the performance of compressors. The three-dimensional impeller can significantly improve the aerodynamic efficiency by optimizing the air flow path. Some cases show that the energy consumption can be reduced by up to 8%-10%. However, most existing three-dimensional impellers are of standardized design, which is difficult to accurately match nitrogen compressors of specific models or working conditions, and the replacement cost is high. For example, purchasing a set of high-efficiency impellers and their accessories may cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and if the whole machine needs to be updated, the cost will be as high as several million yuan. In addition, compatibility problems between new components and old systems (such as insufficient installation accuracy or increased vibration) may also lead to the transformation effect not meeting expectations.
[0004] On the other hand, variable frequency drive (VFD) technology has been widely used in the field of compressor energy conservation in recent years. By adjusting the motor speed to match the actual load demand, VFD can effectively reduce energy consumption, especially under low-load conditions. Industrial practice shows that the energy consumption of some compressors equipped with frequency converters can be reduced by 5%-15%. However, existing VFD control schemes mostly rely on a single parameter (such as flow rate or pressure) as the adjustment basis, lacking a comprehensive analysis of multi-condition characteristics and environmental factors (such as temperature and humidity changes), resulting in significant fluctuations in energy-saving effects during actual operation. In addition, the installation and maintenance costs of frequency converters themselves are relatively high. If not optimized in coordination with the core components of the equipment (such as impellers), their energy-saving potential is difficult to fully utilize.
[0005] In addition to the above methods, there are also some comprehensive renovation schemes in the market, such as combining parameter adjustment and component replacement, or optimizing the operating state by adding a monitoring system. However, these schemes often lack systematic design. For example, some renovations only replace some aging components without considering the improvement of overall aerodynamic efficiency; some other schemes, although they introduce data collection, have a short collection period (such as several weeks or months), which cannot fully reflect the operating characteristics of the equipment under multi-conditions throughout the year, resulting in a lack of pertinence in optimization measures. Taking the SVK16-3S type nitrogen compressor as an example, its operating conditions change significantly with seasons and production demands, and traditional renovation methods are difficult to balance the energy-saving requirements under high-load and low-load conditions. In addition, the scheme of directly replacing the whole machine can completely solve the energy consumption problem, but it has a long shutdown time (usually several months) and a long investment payback period (3-5 years), posing challenges to the production continuity and economy of enterprises.
[0006] In summary, the existing technologies have problems such as limited efficiency improvement, narrow application range, high cost, or insufficient stability in the energy-saving renovation of nitrogen compressors. For old centrifugal nitrogen compressors, how to significantly reduce energy consumption through economical and efficient technical means while retaining the existing equipment foundation and ensuring that the renovation scheme is suitable for various models and operating conditions has become a technical problem to be solved urgently. The present invention is proposed under this background, aiming to provide a systematic and data-driven energy-saving solution. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a method for reducing the energy consumption of nitrogen compressors.
[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0009] A method for reducing the energy consumption of nitrogen compressors, applicable to the energy-saving renovation of centrifugal nitrogen compressors, includes the following steps:
[0010] (1) Collect the annual operation data of the centrifugal nitrogen compressor, including flow rate, pressure, inter-stage temperature, ambient temperature and humidity, and power consumption. Analyze the characteristics under multiple working conditions and establish an operation parameter database containing the efficiency distribution curve.
[0011] (2) Based on the operation parameter database, use fluid mechanics calculation software to design a modular high-efficiency three-dimensional impeller and its accessories. Generate an impeller structure suitable for a flow rate range of 10,000 - 20,000 m 3 / h and a pressure range of 0.5 - 2.0 MPa through an adaptive parameter adjustment algorithm.
[0012] (3) Use special tools to replace the original impeller and its components of the centrifugal nitrogen compressor, install the modular high-efficiency three-dimensional impeller and its accessories, and configure a variable frequency control system. Adjust the speed in real time through a dynamic optimization model based on the efficiency distribution curve to make the compressor operate at the best efficiency point.
[0013] (4) Conduct vibration tests, noise detection and mechanical matching verification on the replaced centrifugal nitrogen compressor. Optimize the lubrication system and bearing system. Ensure that the operating power is reduced by at least 10% through coordinated adjustment, thereby achieving energy conservation and consumption reduction.
[0014] Furthermore, in step (1), the collection period of the annual operation data is 12 months, covering high-load, low-load and seasonal change working conditions. Generate a three-dimensional efficiency distribution curve through data analysis. The curve takes flow rate, pressure and speed as variables and is used to determine the best efficiency point under each working condition.
[0015] Furthermore, the operation parameter database includes a compensation coefficient for the impact of ambient temperature and humidity on energy consumption. The compensation coefficient is calculated through regression analysis and is used to correct the aerodynamic parameters in impeller design.
[0016] Furthermore, in step (2), the adaptive parameter adjustment algorithm dynamically optimizes the blade angle, number of blades and inlet diameter of the impeller according to the efficiency distribution curve in the operation parameter database, and generates at least three modular impeller configurations to adapt to different flow rate and pressure requirements.
[0017] Furthermore, the accessories include an adjustable flow guide cover and a high-temperature resistant sealing ring. The adjustable flow guide cover adjusts the opening degree through a servo motor to reduce air flow loss. The high-temperature resistant sealing ring uses a polytetrafluoroethylene composite material with a temperature resistance range of up to 200 °C.
[0018] Furthermore, in step (3), the special tools include a hydraulic disassembly device and a laser alignment instrument. The accuracy of the laser alignment instrument is not less than 0.01 mm, ensuring that the coaxiality error after impeller installation is less than 0.02 mm.
[0019] Furthermore, the variable-frequency control system includes a power sensor, a flowmeter, and an embedded controller. The dynamic optimization model is based on the efficiency distribution curve, calculates the real-time rotational speed through an iterative algorithm, and adjusts the frequency range to 20 - 60 Hz to keep the operating efficiency above 92%.
[0020] Furthermore, in step (4), an acceleration sensor is used for vibration testing to measure the vibration amplitude during operation, and a sound level meter is used for noise detection to measure the operating noise. It is required that the vibration amplitude does not exceed 0.03 mm / s and the noise does not exceed 80 decibels, and the test data is used for feedback to adjust the rotational speed and lubrication parameters.
[0021] Furthermore, the lubrication system optimization includes using a synthetic lubricating oil with a viscosity grade of ISO VG 46 and configuring a device for keeping the oil temperature constant to maintain the oil temperature at 45 - 55°C; the bearing system optimization includes installing self-lubricating ceramic bearings and controlling the bearing clearance at 0.01 - 0.015 mm through a pre-tightening force regulator.
[0022] Furthermore, the method also includes a verification step. After step (3) is completed, a 72-hour transitional operation is performed, gradually increasing the rotational speed to 80%, 90%, and 100% of the rated value, respectively recording the operating power and efficiency. If the power reduction does not reach 10%, the impeller opening or the parameters of the rotational speed optimization model are adjusted according to the test data until the energy-saving target is met.
[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0024] 1. Significant energy-saving effect
[0025] Through the modular high-efficiency ternary impeller and dynamic rotational speed optimization, the operating power is reduced by at least 10%. Taking the embodiment as an example, 160 kW is saved per hour. Calculated at an electricity price of 0.73 yuan per degree, the annual electricity cost savings are about 1 million yuan. Compared with the traditional parameter adjustment (energy saving of about 5%), the energy-saving amplitude of the present invention is doubled, and the economic benefits are significant.
[0026] 2. Wide applicability
[0027] The modular impeller design combined with the adaptive algorithm can adapt to various nitrogen compressor models with a flow rate of 10,000 - 20,000 m 3 / h and a pressure of 0.5 - 2.0 MPa, covering the mainstream equipment in industries such as chemical engineering and oxygen production. Compared with the existing transformation solutions for a single model, the present invention realizes cross-model application through the support of the parameter database and has higher promotion value.
[0028] 3. Excellent operating stability
[0029] Ensure the mechanical stability of the equipment for long-term operation through vibration tests (amplitude ≤ 0.03 mm / s), noise control (≤ 80 dB), lubrication, and bearing optimization. Compared with the vibration or wear problems that may be caused by simply replacing components, the present invention significantly reduces the operation risk and extends the equipment life through system verification and transitional operation.
[0030] 4. Quick return on investment
[0031] The transformation cost is about 1.2 million yuan, and the payback period is only 1.2 years, far lower than the economic burden of replacing the whole machine (the payback period is about 3 - 5 years). Subsequently, it generates a net income of about 1 million yuan per year, providing an efficient cost control means for the enterprise and enhancing its market competitiveness.
[0032] 5. Environmental and social benefits
[0033] For every 1 kWh of electricity saved, about 0.4 kg of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced. Calculated based on an annual electricity saving of 1 million kWh, about 400 tons of carbon dioxide can be reduced. In addition, reducing energy consumption alleviates the power supply pressure, promotes the green transformation of industry, and provides technical support for the implementation of energy conservation and emission reduction policies.
