Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of devices coupled with low-carbon combustion processes, and in particular to a device coupled with low-carbon combustion processes and a regulating method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the world actively promotes the dual carbon goals, the low-carbon transformation of combustion processes in the industrial field, as an important source of carbon emissions, has become a key issue. Although traditional oxygen-enriched / full-oxygen combustion platforms can reduce carbon emissions to a certain extent, they face challenges when operating alone, such as difficulty in controlling combustion temperature and stringent requirements on equipment materials in high-temperature oxygen-rich environments. The flue gas recirculation process alone has limited effect in reducing nitrogen oxide emissions and regulating combustion temperature, and cannot interact with fuel combustion characteristics and oxygen-enriched / full-oxygen combustion, making it difficult to achieve overall optimization of the combustion process.

[0003] Existing low-carbon combustion platforms have many limitations when responding to increasingly stringent environmental protection and energy efficiency requirements. Most current combustion devices are only designed for a single low-carbon technology, and multi-process coupling technology is lacking. When alternative fuels are burned, there is a lack of coordination with other processes, making it difficult to effectively solve problems such as poor combustion stability of alternative fuels and calorific value fluctuations affecting system operating efficiency. To this end, we propose a device coupled with a low-carbon combustion process and its adjustment method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the defects in the prior art and to propose a device coupled with a low-carbon combustion process and a regulation method thereof.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0018] S2, after being mixed with the air from the air supply system, is transported to the combustion furnace to carry out the oxygen-enriched / full oxygen combustion experiment.

[0021] As a further solution of the present invention: the two-stage heat exchanger, cooling tower and dust collector in the flue gas treatment system are used to cool the flue gas and collect dust.

[0022] A regulation method coupled with a low-carbon combustion process, the specific steps of the regulation method are as follows:

[0037] Example

[0038] See also Figure 1-3 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a device coupled with a low-carbon combustion process and a regulation method thereof, comprising a fuel supply system for providing solid, liquid, and gaseous three-phase fuel, an oxygen-enriched / full oxygen supply system 1, an air supply system 2, a flue gas circulation system 6, a fuel combustion system 8, and a flue gas treatment system 7;

[0039] The fuel supply system can provide gaseous fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen, solid fuels such as pulverized coal and solid biomass pellets, and liquid fuels such as fuel oil and diesel. Gaseous fuel is delivered to the burner inlet via the gas regulating valve assembly 301; solid fuel is fed via a powder metering scale 401 and delivered using a blower; liquid fuel is delivered using an oil pump 501, and a flow control system 502 is provided to adjust the liquid fuel volume. Each fuel can be burned separately, or, depending on experimental needs, burners of different structures can be configured to supply two fuels simultaneously for mixed combustion.

[0040] The oxygen-enriched / full oxygen supply system 1 is combined with the air supply system 2 to change the combustion atmosphere in the combustion furnace 801, enabling the conduction of oxygen-enriched or full oxygen combustion experiments. By adjusting the gas mixer 101, the ratio of CO2, O2, and N2 can be infinitely adjusted, and the adjustment ratio of each gas content is 5% to 99%. The mixed gas can be directly delivered to the combustion furnace 801 through the pipeline, or it can be mixed with the air from the air supply system 2 and then delivered to the combustion furnace 801;

[0041] The fuel combustion system 8 consists of a combustion furnace 801, an online flue gas analyzer, a temperature, pressure, and flow detection device, etc., which can meet various fuel combustion requirements and monitor temperature distribution, flue gas components and content during the combustion process. The combustion furnace 801 is provided with an observation window, and the combustion flame shape can be observed with the naked eye or a high-speed camera. In order to reduce the overall weight of the combustion furnace 801 and to achieve the cleaning of incompletely burned solid and liquid fuels, the combustion furnace 801 divides the internal insulation material into two parts, the lower 120° range uses mullite insulation bricks + high-temperature calcium aluminum silicate board; the other parts of the upper part use high-temperature spray coating, polycrystalline mullite blocks and zirconium-containing fiber modules, such as Figure 2 As shown, it can meet the use requirement of combustion temperature of 1300℃, and the outer wall temperature of the furnace body is less than 60℃;

[0042] The high-temperature circulating fan 601 can be used to transport the flue gas after the first stage of cooling back to the front end of the combustion furnace 801. Experimental research on flue gas circulation can be carried out to increase the CO2 content in the furnace, achieve CO2 enrichment, and provide conditions for CO2 capture. The circulating flue gas temperature can be adjusted by the cooling tower 702. There are 16 circulating flue gas injection ports 802 at the front end of the combustion furnace 801, 8 of which are in the outer circle away from the flame and 8 in the inner circle close to the flame. The structure is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the circulating flue gas is ensured to be evenly distributed in the furnace and to enable the circulating flue gas to directly participate in combustion; the flue gas treatment system 7 includes a two-stage heat exchanger 701, a cooling tower 702 and a dust collector 703, which cools the flue gas and collects dust to meet emission requirements.

[0043] The main feature of this invention is the innovative organic coupling of multiple low-carbon combustion processes such as alternative fuel combustion, oxygen-enriched / full oxygen combustion, and flue gas circulation; by rationally designing the device structure, the synergy between different processes is achieved, which can not only give full play to the low-carbon advantages of alternative fuels, but also use oxygen-enriched or full oxygen combustion to improve combustion efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. At the same time, with the help of flue gas circulation, pollutant generation and CO2 enrichment are controlled, thereby effectively overcoming the drawbacks of the existing platform's single process application and providing a new solution for the low-carbon, high-efficiency and clean industrial combustion process.
