[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] The fuel supply system of the existing ammonia gaseous injection technology route of the intake port is complex, and space shortage problems are prone to occur in actual application. The gasification of liquid ammonia in fuel supply needs to be completed before the injection system, and due to the limitation of the nozzle, the gas-liquid two-phase cannot be accepted, so the temperature and pressure control requirements of the gasification device are higher. Since the ammonia injection system usually also needs 5-8 bar of ammonia injection pressure, the temperature control system in this technology route needs to be always on to ensure that ammonia remains gaseous under special conditions of the engine (such as starting), which has great limitations in actual equipment application. On the other hand, since the amount of ammonia gas required by the engine under different conditions is not the same, the temperature control responsiveness of the supply system is high, and the ammonia gas temperature is prone to decrease at high flow rate, and the ammonia gas pressure is prone to be too high at low flow rate, both of which can cause ammonia liquefaction or the injection system to fail to accurately control the injection amount, thereby causing system failure.

[0032] Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to Figure 1

[0033] The present application provides an intake port liquid ammonia injection and exhaust gas heat recovery system, which is suitable for multi-fuel engines, such as ammonia-diesel dual-fuel engines, which comprises a liquid ammonia storage tank 1, a liquid ammonia pressure supply system, a liquid ammonia nozzle 14, a mixing heat exchanger 15, an exhaust gas recirculation system and a controller, the liquid ammonia storage tank 1 is used to store liquid ammonia; the liquid ammonia pressure supply system communicates with the liquid ammonia storage tank 1 and regulates the pressure of the liquid ammonia discharged from the liquid ammonia storage tank 1 to a set pressure; the liquid ammonia nozzle 14 communicates with the liquid ammonia pressure supply system and injects the liquid ammonia at the set pressure into the mixing heat exchanger 15; the mixing heat exchanger 15 provides a space for mixing liquid ammonia, exhaust gas and air; the exhaust gas recirculation system is used to return the exhaust gas generated by the engine 17 to the mixing heat exchanger 15; the controller calculates the real-time required liquid ammonia injection amount according to the real-time working condition information of the engine 17 and controls the operation of the liquid ammonia nozzle 14 in real time, the controller calculates the real-time required heat for the gasification and temperature rise of the liquid ammonia to the set temperature according to the real-time required liquid ammonia injection amount, calculates the real-time required exhaust gas amount according to the real-time required heat for the gasification and temperature rise of the liquid ammonia to the set temperature, and the controller controls the exhaust gas recirculation system to return the required amount of exhaust gas to the mixing heat exchanger 15 in real time according to the real-time required exhaust gas amount.

[0034] ​The present application proposes to inject medium-pressure liquid ammonia into the mixed heat exchanger 15, and through the exhaust gas recirculation system, the ammonia gasification heat demand can be ensured while realizing liquid ammonia injection, and after being fully mixed with air, it enters the cylinder for combustion and work. Through the exhaust gas recirculation system, the exhaust heat is used to heat the direct injection of liquid ammonia, promote the full mixing of ammonia, air and part of the exhaust gas, help to improve the engine 17 cylinder reaction active atmosphere, improve the ammonia ignition performance, and then improve the engine 17 efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions. In addition, the scheme provided by the present application avoids large gasification devices and avoids the problem of insufficient space in practical application.

[0035] In some embodiments, the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing supply system includes a liquid ammonia oil pump 9, a liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing tank 10, a liquid ammonia low-pressure pump 11 and a liquid ammonia medium-pressure pump 13 connected in sequence through pipelines, and the liquid ammonia medium-pressure pump 13 is communicated with the liquid ammonia nozzle 14. The pressure range of the liquid ammonia output by the liquid ammonia low-pressure pump 11 is usually 10-15 bar, and the pressure range of the liquid ammonia output by the liquid ammonia medium-pressure pump 13 is usually greater than 15 bar.

[0036] In this embodiment, the gaseous ammonia can always be at the top of the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing tank 10 by using gravity through the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing tank 10, and the subsequent liquid outlet is at the bottom of the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing tank 10 to ensure the liquid phase supply of ammonia. At the same time, the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing tank 10 has a buffer safety function. When the pressure in the tank is higher than the preset value of the emptying safety valve under abnormal working conditions, the pressure of the stabilizing tank can be reduced through the top exhaust, and the engine 17 is stopped at the same time to check the fault. The supply pressure of the liquid ammonia can be controlled to be above 10 bar through the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing tank 10 to ensure that the ammonia exists in liquid form under most environmental temperatures, and an initial pressure is provided for the subsequent fuel supply. The setting of two-stage pumping can reduce the pressure difference of the low-pressure pump and the medium-pressure pump. It can be understood that multi-stage pumping is used to improve the liquid ammonia injection pressure, and this way is considered in view of the corrosion and gasification of liquid ammonia. If one-stage pumping is used, gasification may occur to cause pump failure when the working condition changes (i.e. when the liquid ammonia flow changes greatly). Multi-stage pumping helps to reduce the pressure difference of each stage of pumping and improve the stability of the whole system.

[0037] In this embodiment, the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing supply system first ensures the stable operation of the liquid ammonia nozzle 14 through multi-stage pressure pumps, and at the same time, the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing tank 10 is arranged in the middle to ensure the ammonia supply pressure and remove gas, ensuring the liquid single-phase supply of the liquid ammonia pressure stabilizing supply system. Then, the liquid ammonia intake port injection is realized through the pulse width calibration and pressure control of the liquid ammonia nozzle 14. The liquid ammonia is directly injected into the mixed heat exchanger 15, heated by the heat from the exhaust gas recirculation while being mixed with the intake air, and ensures the gasification while realizing the homogeneous mixing of the intake air through the mixing of the three fluids, and then enters the engine 17 system for combustion and work.

[0041] The exhaust gas recirculation system in the embodiment divides the total exhaust gas recirculation flow into two paths, one path is introduced into the mixing heat exchanger 15 to heat and gasify the liquid ammonia spray and raise the temperature, and the other path is directly introduced into the intake duct downstream of the mixing heat exchanger 15, which is directly communicated with the air inlet of the engine 17, and the embodiment can realize that the exhaust gas recirculation flow meets the standard and avoids the safety hazard caused by excessive exhaust gas flow in the mixing heat exchanger 15.

[0042] In some embodiments, the downstream intake duct of the mixing heat exchanger 15 is provided with an electric auxiliary heating device 16, and in the cold start and low load working condition, the controller controls the electric auxiliary heating device 16 to heat the mixed gas in the downstream intake duct of the mixing heat exchanger 15 to ensure that the gasification of the liquid ammonia and the temperature of the intake duct meet the preset working condition requirements of the engine 17.

[0043] The embodiment of the application realizes the applicability of the liquid ammonia injection in cold start and multiple working conditions through the exhaust gas recirculation and the electric auxiliary heating device 16.

[0044] In some embodiments, a liquid ammonia flow meter 8 is arranged on the pipeline between the liquid ammonia storage tank 1 and the liquid ammonia delivery pump 9; and a liquid ammonia pressure temperature meter 12 is arranged on the pipeline between the liquid ammonia low-pressure pump 11 and the liquid ammonia medium-pressure pump 13.

[0045] In this embodiment, the controller calculates the actual injection amount of the liquid ammonia nozzle 14 according to the liquid ammonia pressure and temperature measured by the liquid ammonia pressure temperature meter 12 and the working state of the liquid ammonia medium-pressure pump 13, and controls the opening degree of the liquid ammonia nozzle 14 by comparing the actual injection amount of the liquid ammonia nozzle 14 with the required liquid ammonia injection amount so as to make the actual injection amount equal to the required liquid ammonia injection amount.

[0047] In some embodiments, the liquid ammonia pressure regulating supply system further comprises a pressure regulating pipe regulating valve 3, an emptying safety valve 4, a liquid ammonia backflow pump 5, a backflow safety valve 7, and a liquid ammonia flow meter 8.

[0048] The present application also provides an air intake passage liquid ammonia injection and exhaust gas heat recovery method, which comprises:

[0049] The real-time required liquid ammonia injection amount is calculated according to the real-time working condition information of the engine 17, and the liquid ammonia nozzle 14 is controlled in real time;

[0050] The real-time required heat for gasification and temperature rise of liquid ammonia to a set temperature is calculated according to the real-time required liquid ammonia injection amount; specifically, the required heat for gasification and heating of liquid ammonia spray to a specified temperature can be obtained through calculation and database query;

[0051] The real-time required exhaust gas amount is calculated according to the real-time required heat for gasification and temperature rise of liquid ammonia; specifically, the required exhaust gas flow in the mixing heat exchanger 15 can be determined by table lookup according to the heat required for gasification and temperature rise of liquid ammonia spray and the temperature data of the exhaust port of the engine 17.

[0052] The required amount of exhaust gas is recirculated to the mixing heat exchanger 15 by the exhaust gas recirculation system in real time according to the real-time required exhaust gas amount.

[0053] The method for liquid ammonia injection in an air inlet channel and waste heat recovery provided by the embodiment of the application can abandon the existing large gasification device, and can realize liquid ammonia injection by pressure adjustment of a liquid ammonia pressure supply system. The liquid ammonia spray injected out is gasified and heated by the heat in the waste gas, the waste gas can improve the cylinder combustion model, improve the combustion efficiency, and further improve the engine efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, the total exhaust gas recirculation flow is determined according to the real-time working condition and real-time combustion strategy adjustment of the engine.

[0055] The method for determining the total exhaust gas recirculation flow in the embodiment belongs to a conventional technology. Specifically, the exhaust gas recirculation flow should be determined according to the engine speed, load, ammonia energy ratio, diesel injection working condition and other parameters.

[0056] In some embodiments, the real-time required heat for liquid ammonia gasification and temperature rise is calculated by the following formula:

[0059] Therefore, the total heat exchange amount includes the liquid ammonia spray temperature rise heat exchange amount, the gasification heat and the ammonia gas temperature rise heat exchange amount.

[0060] In some embodiments, under the cold engine and low load working condition, the electric auxiliary heating device 16 is controlled to heat the mixed gas in the downstream air inlet channel of the mixed heat exchanger 15 to ensure that the gasification of the liquid ammonia and the temperature of the air inlet channel meet the preset working condition requirements of the engine 17.
