Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cryogenic energy recovery of liquid argon, and relates to a method and device for recovering cryogenic energy of pipeline-transported liquid argon. Background Art

[0002] Liquid argon, as a colorless, odorless, and non-flammable inert gas, is in a liquid state under normal temperature and pressure. Due to its chemical stability and excellent heat conduction performance, it has a wide range of applications in multiple industrial fields. In semiconductor manufacturing, liquid argon is commonly used in the cooling process to ensure the processing quality of precision components; in the metal processing field, liquid argon is used as a protective atmosphere, especially in the welding processes of special metals such as aluminum, magnesium, copper and their alloys, and stainless steel, effectively preventing material oxidation or nitridation; in the aerospace, shipbuilding, atomic energy industry, and machinery manufacturing, argon gas has become an ideal protective gas due to its non-combustible and non-supporting combustion characteristics. In addition, liquid argon also has important applications in the medical field (such as cryotherapy) and scientific research (such as low-temperature experiments).

[0003] The vaporization process of liquid argon is a key step in converting liquid argon into gaseous argon to meet industrial needs. However, traditional liquid argon vaporization methods have significant limitations. Currently, air-cooled vaporizers are commonly used equipment, which vaporize liquid argon through the heat of ambient air. However, this method is inefficient in low-temperature environments and is prone to a large amount of icing, increasing equipment maintenance costs and posing a fall risk in the surrounding area. Another common method is to use steam or electric heating vaporizers, but this requires a large amount of energy consumption, especially in the context of high energy prices, resulting in high operating costs. More importantly, the cryogenic energy (latent heat and sensible heat) released during the liquid argon vaporization process is usually wasted and not effectively recovered and utilized, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency.

[0004] In recent years, cryogenic energy recovery technology has gradually received attention, and some industrial systems have tried to transfer the cryogenic energy of liquid argon vaporization to other media, such as liquefied nitrogen or oxygen, through heat exchangers. However, existing cryogenic energy recovery technologies have the following deficiencies: First, the design of the recovery system is complex and the integration degree is low, making it difficult to handle the liquefaction requirements of multiple gases simultaneously; second, the cryogenic energy utilization rate is limited, and some cold energy is still dissipated in the form of waste heat; third, there is a lack of special recovery devices for pipeline-transported liquid argon, resulting in insignificant economic benefits of cryogenic energy recovery. For example, some recovery systems can only use cryogenic energy for the liquefaction of a single gas and fail to fully utilize the potential of liquid argon cryogenic energy; in addition, existing devices have insufficient considerations in the design and safety of low-temperature pipelines, restricting their popularization and application in industrial environments.

[0005] In view of this, it is particularly necessary to develop an efficient and comprehensive method and device for recovering cryogenic energy of pipeline-transported liquid argon. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of cold energy recovery and utilization of liquid argon vaporization, and a method and device for recovering cold energy from pipeline-transported liquid argon are provided.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A device for recovering cold energy from pipeline-transported liquid argon includes a circulating nitrogen compressor unit, a cold energy recovery cold box, and a liquid argon pump; the cold energy recovery cold box includes a main heat exchanger, a subcooler, and a liquefaction plate heat exchanger;

[0009] The main heat exchanger is provided with four groups of inlets and outlets, namely a first heat exchange inlet, a first heat exchange outlet, a second heat exchange inlet, a second heat exchange outlet, a third heat exchange inlet, a third heat exchange outlet, a fourth heat exchange inlet, and a fourth heat exchange outlet; the subcooler is provided with two groups of inlets and outlets, namely a first subcooling inlet, a first subcooling outlet, a second subcooling inlet, and a second subcooling outlet; the liquefaction plate heat exchanger is provided with two groups of inlets and outlets, namely a first liquefaction inlet, a first liquefaction outlet, a second liquefaction inlet, and a second liquefaction outlet;

[0010] The medium-pressure nitrogen pipeline is connected from the medium-pressure nitrogen main pipe in the factory area and is communicated with the inlet of the circulating nitrogen compressor. The outlet of the circulating nitrogen compressor is communicated with the first heat exchange inlet. The first heat exchange outlet is throttled by throttle valve V1 and then divided into two paths. One path is communicated with the second heat exchange inlet, and the other path is communicated with the first subcooling inlet. The second heat exchange outlet is communicated with the inlet of the circulating nitrogen compressor; the first subcooling outlet is divided into three paths. One path is throttled by throttle valve V3 and then communicated with the second subcooling inlet. Another path is throttled by throttle valve V2 and then communicated with the inlet of the liquid nitrogen storage tank. The last path is throttled by throttle valve V4 and then communicated with the second liquefaction inlet; the second subcooling outlet is communicated with the third heat exchange inlet, and the third heat exchange outlet is communicated with the low-pressure nitrogen pipeline network; the second liquefaction outlet is communicated with the atmosphere, and the normal-pressure nitrogen is discharged to the atmosphere; the first liquefaction inlet is communicated with the oxygen pipeline network in the factory area, and the first liquefaction outlet is throttled by throttle valve V5 and then communicated with the inlet of the liquid oxygen storage tank;

[0011] The inlet of the liquid argon pump is communicated with the liquid argon storage tank, and the outlet of the liquid argon pump is communicated with the fourth heat exchange inlet. The fourth heat exchange outlet is communicated with the argon pipeline network.

[0012] Further, the circulating nitrogen compressor adopts a piston compressor.

[0013] A method for recovering cold energy from pipeline-transported liquid argon uses the device for recovering cold energy from pipeline-transported liquid argon as described above. The nitrogen from the nitrogen pipeline network in the factory area is pressurized by the circulating nitrogen compressor unit and then enters the main heat exchanger in the cold energy recovery cold box. After being cooled and liquefied, it enters the subcooler for subcooling; the liquid argon from the liquid argon storage tank after being pressurized by the liquid argon pump enters the main heat exchanger in the cold energy recovery cold box, is vaporized and reheated, and then enters the argon pipeline network in the factory area;

[0014] The subcooled liquid nitrogen has three destinations. A part of the subcooled liquid nitrogen is throttled to 0.03 MPa and then returned to the subcooler as a cold source. After vaporizing and reheating, it enters the main heat exchanger and continues to be reheated to room temperature. The reheated low-pressure nitrogen is returned to the nitrogen pipeline network. Another part is throttled to 0.06 MPa and enters the liquid nitrogen storage tank. The remaining liquid nitrogen is throttled to 0.02 MPa, reheated through the liquefaction plate heat exchanger, and then vented.

[0015] After the oxygen is liquefied by the liquefaction plate heat exchanger, it is throttled to 0.01 MPa by a throttle valve and then enters the liquid oxygen storage tank.

[0016] Furthermore, the nitrogen from the nitrogen pipeline network in the plant area has a pressure of 0.63 MPa. The nitrogen is pressurized to 5.1 MPa by the circulating nitrogen compressor unit and then enters the main heat exchanger in the cold energy recovery cold box.

[0017] Furthermore, for vaporizing the liquid argon at 0.05 MPa, the corresponding heat source argon is raised to 1.985 MPa.

[0018] Furthermore, for liquefying the oxygen at 0.1 MPa, the corresponding liquid oxygen pressure is 0.01 MPa.

[0019] Furthermore, the gas pipelines and cryogenic liquid pipelines are laid overhead outdoors.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] The tube-injected liquid argon cold energy recovery device and method of the present invention achieve the efficient recovery and comprehensive utilization of the cold energy of liquid argon vaporization through innovative design, demonstrating significant advantages in many aspects.

[0022] First of all, the present invention significantly improves the energy utilization efficiency. Through the main heat exchanger, subcooler, and liquefaction plate heat exchanger in the cold energy recovery cold box, the cold energy released by the vaporization of liquid argon is effectively transferred to the liquefaction processes of nitrogen and oxygen, replacing the high-energy consumption methods of traditional steam or electric heating vaporizers. This design of cold energy recycling greatly reduces the external energy demand and provides an energy-saving solution for industrial gas treatment.

[0023] Secondly, the present invention produces high-value-added liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen products by liquefying the surplus nitrogen and oxygen in the plant area. These products can be widely used in industrial, medical, and scientific research fields and have high market value. Compared with the waste of cold energy after the traditional vaporization of liquid argon, the present invention converts the cold energy into salable liquid products, significantly enhancing the economic benefits.

[0024] In addition, the present invention realizes environmental friendliness during operation. The argon gas after the vaporization of liquid argon directly enters the pipe network. Part of the liquid nitrogen returns to the nitrogen pipe network after reheating, and the remaining nitrogen is discharged at atmospheric pressure. There is no emission of waste gas, waste water or dust during the whole process. Compared with the traditional air-cooled vaporizer, the present invention avoids the equipment corrosion and environmental impact caused by icing, meeting the requirements of green production.

[0025] In terms of safety, the present invention eliminates the risks of slippery ground and falling caused by icing of the traditional air-cooled vaporizer through the closed cold energy recovery cold box. The outdoor gas and cryogenic liquid pipelines are laid overhead, further reducing the leakage risk and enhancing the reliability of the device operation.

[0026] Finally, the device of the present invention has a high degree of integration and strong adaptability. The circulating nitrogen compressor unit adopts a piston compressor with variable frequency control, which can flexibly adapt to the requirements of different working conditions. The compact system design makes it applicable to industrial gas pipe networks of various scales, providing convenience for the popularization and application of liquid argon cold energy recovery.
