Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the molten salt heat storage technology in the spinning process, and particularly relates to a molten salt heat storage system and a control method based on electricity price regulation. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing requirements of industry for energy conservation and emission reduction, heat energy storage technology has been widely applied in many industrial fields. Especially in the spinning process, high-temperature heating is a key factor to ensure production quality and efficiency. Traditional heating methods usually rely on power supply, and there are certain challenges in temperature control. In contrast, the molten salt heat storage system has significant advantages: molten salt can work stably at temperatures above 500 °C, and it has a large heat capacity and good thermal conductivity, and can maintain a stable high temperature for a long time, which is suitable for heat energy storage and release in medium- and high-temperature processes. Compared with traditional low-temperature heat storage media such as water or paraffin, the application of molten salt in the spinning process can reduce heat loss, improve heating efficiency, and have a longer heat storage time limit, ensuring the temperature stability in the process.
[0003] Current molten salt heat storage systems, such as a method and system for intelligently adjusting the molten salt heat storage rate with the Chinese patent publication number CN117663503B, mostly focus on heat storage and do not fully consider the impact of different electricity price periods on power consumption; in addition, such as a flexible operation system of a thermal power unit based on molten salt heat storage with the Chinese patent publication number CN114909193B, the molten salt heat storage and heating systems in the existing molten salt heat storage systems are separated, and the system integration cannot be achieved, and the overall optimization of the system cannot be realized, and there are still problems of low working efficiency and high cost.
[0004] With the gradual advancement of electricity price marketization, the fluctuation of electricity prices has become an important factor in the operating costs of enterprises. Especially in some high-energy-consuming production processes, the electricity price fluctuation directly affects the economy of production. Traditional heating methods cannot fully consider the electricity price fluctuation, resulting in a large amount of power consumption still being required during peak electricity price periods, increasing production costs, and high energy consumption will bring great pressure to the power system and may cause power outages in some areas. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] See Figure 1, A molten salt thermal energy storage system based on electricity price regulation, comprising a molten salt pipeline 17, a steam pipeline 18 and a nylon pipeline 19. A molten salt storage tank 1, an electric heater 2, a first circulation pump 3, a heat exchanger 6 and a second circulation pump 7 are arranged on the molten salt pipeline 17; a third circulation pump 12 is arranged on the steam pipeline 18; a screw extruder 14, a spinning machine 15 and a steam sleeve 16 are arranged on the nylon pipeline 19;
[0029] The outlet of the molten salt storage tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the first circulation pump 3. The outlet of the first circulation pump 3 is connected to the lower inlet of the heat exchanger 6. The lower outlet of the heat exchanger 6 is connected to the inlet of the second circulation pump 7. The outlet of the second circulation pump 7 is connected to the inlet of the molten salt storage tank 1. The electric heater 2 is installed in the molten salt storage tank 1;
[0030] The upper outlet of the heat exchanger 6 is connected to the inlet of the steam sleeve 16 and the inlet of the third circulation pump 12. The outlet of the third circulation pump 12 is connected to the upper inlet of the heat exchanger 6;
[0031] The screw extruder 14 is connected to the spinning machine 15 through a nylon pipeline. The steam sleeve 16 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the nylon pipeline 19.
[0032] In the present invention, the heat exchanger 6 adopts a shell structure. The upper chamber is a steam chamber, and the lower chamber is a molten salt chamber. The two are separated by a heat exchange wall surface. The molten salt transfers heat to the steam in the upper chamber through the heat exchange wall surface to achieve heat energy exchange.
[0033] In the present invention, steam surrounds the screw extruder 14 and the spinning machine 15 through the steam sleeve 16 to ensure uniform heating. The steam flow rate and temperature are regulated by a fourth electric valve 11 and a third circulation pump 12. Through the above components, steam provides heat to the screw extruder 14 and the spinning machine 15 to ensure stable heat supply during the process. The steam after heat exchange in the heat exchanger flows to the steam sleeve through the steam pipeline. The fourth electric valve 11 is a pressure valve, and its purpose is to make a part of the steam flow to the steam sleeve and a part of it circulate in this steam pipeline.
[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, the electric heater 2 is an electric heating tube or an electric heating wire, which is used to convert electric energy into heat energy to heat the molten salt; during the low electricity price period, the electric heater 2 converts electric energy into heat energy to continuously heat the molten salt. The electric heater 2 is an electric heating tube or an electric heating wire, which heats the molten salt through current to enable the molten salt energy storage system to accumulate heat;
[0035] In another embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger 4 includes an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The upper chamber is a steam chamber, and the lower chamber is a molten salt chamber. The two are separated by a heat exchange wall surface, and the molten salt transfers heat to the steam through the heat exchange wall surface.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the molten salt storage tank 1 is made of high-temperature resistant metal material, and a thermometer and a pressure gauge are installed to monitor the internal environment of the storage tank. By setting a timing switch, the working period of the molten salt storage tank 1 can be controlled. It has a high heat storage capacity and good thermal stability, and can operate in a high-temperature environment. A binary salt such as a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride is used as the heat storage medium in the molten salt storage tank, which can work stably at high temperature and store heat energy. The electric heater converts electrical energy into heat energy and heats the molten salt during the low electricity price period.
[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first circulation pump 3, the second circulation pump 7, and the third circulation pump 12 are respectively equipped with the first valve 4, the second valve 8, and the third valve 13. The first valve 4, the second valve 8, and the third valve 13 can help control the liquid flow direction and flow rate, ensure the safe operation of the system, and avoid blockage caused by liquid backflow or improper flow.
[0038] The molten salt flows into the heat exchanger 6 through the circulation pump 3 and the first electric valve 5, and transfers heat to the steam through the heat exchange wall surface. The steam flows into the steam heating supply system through the upper side outlet of the heat exchanger 6. The molten salt after exchanging heat flows back into the molten salt storage tank 1 through the second circulation pump 7 and the second electric valve 9, realizing sustainable recycling.
[0039] A control method for a molten salt heat storage system includes:
[0040] During the low electricity price period, turn on the electric heater 2 to heat the molten salt for heat storage, and turn off the first circulation pump 3, the second electric valve 9, the heat exchanger 6, the second circulation pump 7, and the third circulation pump 12;
[0041] During the high electricity price period, turn off the electric heater 2, turn on the first circulation pump 3, the second electric valve 9, the heat exchanger 6, the second circulation pump 7, and the third circulation pump 12. The high-temperature molten salt enters the heat exchanger 6 to transfer heat to the steam, and the steam enters the steam pipeline 17 to provide energy supply for the screw extruder 14 and the spinning machine 15.
[0042] The following is a specific application scenario of the present invention:
[0043] In a certain city, the period from 12:00 am to 8:00 am is the low electricity price period, and 9:00 - 12:00,
[0044] 15:00 - 20:00 is the high electricity price period. That is, from 12:00 am to 8:00 am, the molten salt is heated, and at this time, the inlet and outlet of the molten salt storage tank are closed; during the peak period, the inlet and outlet of the molten salt storage tank are opened to release heat through the system.
[0045] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and do not thus limit the patent scope of the present invention.
