Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pure oxygen turbines, in particular to an ultra-low nitrogen oxide power system. Background Art
[0002] The ultra-low NOx power system is a comprehensive technology system integrating combustion control, catalytic reduction and energy management. By suppressing NOx generation and highly efficient denitrification, it enables fossil fuel combustion emissions to meet the most stringent international standards. Existing power systems typically use fossil fuels directly for combustion power. However, the high temperature during the combustion of fossil fuels causes oxygen and nitrogen to react chemically to produce nitrogen oxides. At the same time, the energy efficiency provided by the combustion of a single fossil fuel is limited. The nitrogen oxides produced by the combustion of fossil fuels need to be purified before they can be discharged, which will still pollute the air and increase the cost of post-processing, making it difficult to meet the needs of future energy transformation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] (1) Technical problems solved In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an ultra-low nitrogen oxide power system. The air separation system separates oxygen and nitrogen. The oxygen enters the combustion chamber and mixes with the fuel to burn and drive the pure oxygen turbine blades to generate mechanical force. The pure oxygen and fuel burn in the combustion chamber without mixing with nitrogen, so the high-temperature gas will not produce ammonia oxides. The high-temperature gas passes through the annular liquid nitrogen heating chamber and the gas is cooled to room temperature. The liquid nitrogen is heated in the annular liquid nitrogen heating chamber until the liquid nitrogen is heated into nitrogen, which drives the liquid ammonia heating turbine blades to generate mechanical force. During the entire combustion and high-temperature process, oxygen does not mix with ammonia and will not generate nitrogen oxides. The air separation system strictly isolates nitrogen and oxygen, and the combustion chamber only uses pure oxygen and fuel. reaction, eliminating the conditions for the formation of nitrogen oxides from the source. The high-temperature combustion gas does not mix with nitrogen after being cooled by liquid nitrogen, achieving zero NOx emissions throughout the process. The high-temperature combustion gas exchanges heat through the annular liquid nitrogen heating chamber, which not only realizes waste heat recovery, but also provides energy for liquid nitrogen gasification. The overall energy efficiency of the system is improved. The liquid nitrogen heating turbine and the oxygen turbine are output in parallel, and the thrust is enhanced by the second high-pressure nitrogen. The power density is higher than that of the single-cycle system. The dual use of liquefied nitrogen as a refrigerant and a working fluid reduces the energy consumption of the auxiliary system, avoids the investment in post-treatment equipment such as SCR denitrification, reduces the cost of catalyst replacement, and realizes multi-fuel low-nitrogen operation by adjusting the combustion chamber structure to meet the needs of future energy transformation.
