TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of cold and heat comprehensive utilization and refrigeration technology of synthetic ammonia device, and particularly relates to a cold and heat comprehensive step-by-step utilization combined supply device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The heat of many sections of the synthetic ammonia device needs to be removed by a circulating water heat exchanger, and the yield and consumption in summer conditions are often greatly different from those in winter due to the influence of air temperature. The condensate of the urea device and the condensate of the synthetic ammonia device are generally sent to a desalination water device for recovery and treatment after passing through a process condensate heat exchanger, and the ammonia washing tower is washed and cooled by cold boiler water. Since the cold boiler water is cooled by circulating water, the temperature is relatively high, and the flow is relatively small, and the cooling effect of the ammonia washing tower is generally not ideal. In the compression process, in order to improve the operation efficiency of the unit, the circulating cooling water needs to be used to cool the high-temperature gas between stages before entering the next stage of compression. Since the minimum temperature that can be reached by the circulating cooling water is limited by the ambient temperature, the current cooling method is prone to the phenomenon that the outlet gas temperature of the inter-stage cooler is too high, especially in summer, which reduces the efficiency of the compressor and increases energy consumption. At the same time, it also affects the cooling capacity of the next stage of inter-stage cooler. Although the heat exchange area of the inter-stage cooler can be increased to reduce the temperature of the gas entering the next compression stage and improve the compression efficiency, the inter-stage cooling resistance may increase, the pressure difference of the inter-stage cooler increases, the total operation pressure ratio of the system increases, and the energy consumption also increases. The energy consumption required by the resistance may be greater than the energy consumption generated by the cooling, which needs to be considered comprehensively. SUMMARY

[0015] This invention also provides a combined cooling and heating system method, employing the aforementioned combined cooling and heating system device, comprising the following steps:
[0016] Step 1: The black water generated by the gasification slag water unit is sent to the black water heat exchanger through the black water pipeline to heat the heat medium water. The heated heat medium water enters the second generator under the drive of the heat medium water pump, releases heat and flows back to the black water heat exchanger to form a closed loop.

[0017] Step 2: The condensate from the urea unit and the process condensate from the ammonia synthesis unit are mixed in a hot water tank. The mixed condensate is then pumped into the first generator and sent to the demineralized water unit for recycling after releasing heat.
[0018] Step 3: The absorption chiller operates using the heat sources from Step 1 and Step 2. The produced low-temperature water is sent to the cold water tank.

[0019] Step 4: When the low-temperature water in the cold water tank is driven by the cold water pump and transported to the cold boiler water cooler through the cold water outlet main pipe, the low-temperature water further cools the cold boiler water that has been initially cooled by the circulating water.

After being cooled again by the low-temperature water transported through the cold water outlet main pipe, it is sent to the low-cost liquid nitrogen washing unit.
[0020] Step 5: The syngas discharged from the low-methane liquid nitrogen washing unit first enters the compressor inlet chilled water cooler, where it is cooled by the low-temperature water supplied by the chilled water outlet main pipe. Then it is sent to the low-pressure cylinder of the syngas compressor. The syngas discharged from the low-pressure cylinder is first cooled by the inter-stage circulating water cooler, and then enters the inter-stage chilled water cooler. It is further cooled by the low-temperature water supplied by the chilled water outlet main pipe, and then sent to the high-pressure cylinder. The gas discharged from the high-pressure cylinder enters the circulation section for processing.
[0021] Step Six: The return water from the cold boiler water cooler, the low-pressure inlet cold water cooler, the compressor inlet cold water cooler, and the inter-section cold water cooler is collected in the cold water return main pipe and flows back to the absorption chiller for re-cooling, thus recycling the cold water.
[0022] Therefore, the present invention, employing the above-mentioned combined heat and cold power generation device and method, has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] (1) The combined heat and cold power supply device and method of the present invention delivers the process condensate of the ammonia synthesis unit, the process condensate of the urea unit and the heat medium water of the gasification black water to the absorption chiller. While cooling the hot water, a large amount of cold water is produced by using the waste heat of the hot water.

[0035] The ammonia washing tower cooling mechanism is used to solve the problem of insufficient cooling of traditional circulating water by using the cold water provided by the refrigeration unit, thereby improving the washing and cooling effect of the ammonia washing tower 32. The compressor cooling mechanism is used to reduce the inlet and inter-stage gas temperature of the syngas compressor 2 through a stepped mode of preliminary degradation by circulating water and deep cooling by cold water, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the syngas compressor 2 and avoiding the efficiency reduction caused by high circulating water temperature in summer. The low-methyl liquid nitrogen cooling mechanism is used to further cool the gas at the outlet of the ammonia washing tower cooling mechanism and send it to the low-methyl liquid nitrogen washing unit 26. At the same time, the syngas at the outlet of the low-methyl liquid nitrogen washing unit 26 is pretreated and then sent to the syngas compressor 2.
[0036] The heat supply mechanism includes a gasification slag water heat supply component and a condensate heat supply component. The gasification slag water heat supply component includes a gasification slag water unit 19, a black water heat exchanger 33, and a heat medium water pump 12. The gasification slag water unit 19 and the black water heat exchanger 33 are connected through a black water pipeline 10. The heat medium water pump 12 is installed on the heat medium water pipeline 11 that connects the black water heat exchanger 33 to the refrigeration mechanism. The black water heat exchanger 33 is connected to the settling tank.
[0037] The gasification slag water unit 19 generates black water containing waste heat, which serves as the initial heat source for the heat transfer medium. The black water heat exchanger 33 utilizes the waste heat from the gasified black water to heat the heat transfer medium water, achieving heat transfer from the black water to the heat transfer medium water. The heat transfer medium water pump 12 drives the heated heat transfer medium water into the second generator 24 of the absorption chiller 15, and after completing the heat transfer, it flows back to the black water heat exchanger 33, forming a closed-loop cycle. The settling tank receives the cooled black water after heat exchange for further treatment.
[0038] The condensate heat supply assembly includes a hot water tank 34 and a condensate pump 9. The hot water tank 34 is connected to the urea unit and the ammonia synthesis unit. The condensate pump 9 is installed on the condensate main pipe 8 that connects the hot water tank 34 to the refrigeration unit.
[0039] Hot water tank 34 is used to collect process condensate from the urea unit and the ammonia synthesis unit, which is then mixed and output as a unified heat source. Condensate pump 9 is used to pump the mixed condensate from hot water tank 34 into the first generator 23 of the absorption chiller 15, where it is sent to the demineralized water unit after heat exchange. Black water pipeline 10 is used to transport black water.
[0040] The refrigeration system includes an absorption chiller 15, a chilled water tank 25, a chilled water pump 7, a chilled water outlet main pipe 6, and a chilled water return main pipe 5. The absorption chiller 15 is connected to the chilled water tank 25 via pipelines.

The chilled water outlet main pipe 6 is connected to the chilled water circulation system, the chilled water circulation system is connected to the chilled water return main pipe 5, and the chilled water return main pipe 5 is connected to the absorption chiller 15.
[0041] The chilled water tank 25 stores the low-temperature water produced by the absorption chiller 15, stabilizing the cold source output. The chilled water pump 7 drives the low-temperature water in the chilled water tank 25 to be transported to each cooler through the chilled water outlet main pipe 6. The chilled water outlet main pipe 6 distributes chilled water to the ammonia washing tower 32, the synthesis gas compressor 2, and the low-methane liquid nitrogen washing unit 26. The chilled water return main pipe 5 collects the return water from all coolers and sends it back to the absorption chiller 15 for re-cooling, realizing the recycling of chilled water.
[0042] The absorption chiller 15 includes an absorber 20, an evaporator 21, a condenser 22, a first generator 23, and a second generator 24. The absorber 20 is connected to the cooling mechanism. The evaporator 21 is connected to the cold water tank 25 and the cold water return main pipe 5, respectively. The first generator 23 is connected to the hot water tank 34 and the demineralized water unit, respectively. The second generator 24 is circulatedly connected to the black water heat exchanger 33.
[0043] Absorption chiller 15 drives a refrigeration cycle via first generator 23 and second generator 24, converting waste heat into cold energy to produce low-temperature water. Absorber 20 and condenser 22 work in conjunction with first generator 23 and second generator 24 to complete the refrigeration cycle, requiring heat dissipation through a cooling mechanism. Evaporator 21 generates low-temperature chilled water. First generator 23 receives the mixed condensate from hot water tank 34, absorbs its heat for refrigeration, and the condensate after heat exchange is sent to the demineralized water unit. Second generator 24 receives the heat transfer water heated by black water heat exchanger 33, absorbs its heat for refrigeration, and the heated water returns to black water heat exchanger 33 after heat dissipation.
[0044] The cooling mechanism includes a cooling tower 4, a circulating water pump 13, and a circulating water pipeline 14. The inlet of the cooling tower 4 is connected to the condenser 22, and the outlet of the cooling tower 4 is connected to the absorber 20 through the circulating water pipeline 14. The circulating water pump 13 is installed on the circulating water pipeline 14.
[0045] Cooling tower 4 is used to lower the temperature of the circulating water, providing low-temperature circulating water for absorption chiller 15. Circulating water pump 13 is used to drive the circulating water between cooling tower 4 and absorption chiller 15, ensuring heat dissipation efficiency. Circulating water pipeline 14 is used to connect cooling tower 4 and absorption chiller 15, forming a circulating water transport path.

The cold boiler water-cooled water cooler 3 is connected to the ammonia washing tower 32, and the ammonia washing tower 32 is connected to a low-cost liquid nitrogen cooling mechanism.
[0047] The cold boiler water cooler 3 uses the low-temperature water from the cold water outlet main 6 to further cool the cold boiler water that has undergone preliminary cooling by circulating water, thereby improving the washing effect of the ammonia washing tower 32. The ammonia washing tower 32 is used to receive the cooled cold boiler water and to wash and cool the changeover gas.
[0048] The compressor cooling mechanism includes a syngas compressor 2, an inter-stage circulating water cooler 1, a compressor inlet chilled water cooler 17, and an inter-stage chilled water cooler 18. The syngas compressor 2 includes a low-pressure cylinder 27, a steam turbine 28, a high-pressure cylinder 29, and a circulation section 30. The inlet of the low-pressure cylinder 27 is connected to the compressor inlet chilled water cooler 17, and the outlet of the low-pressure cylinder 27 is connected to the inter-stage circulating water cooler 1.

[0049] Syngas compressor 2 is used to compress syngas through low-pressure cylinder 27 and high-pressure cylinder 29, providing high-pressure syngas for subsequent processes. Low-pressure cylinder 27 performs initial compression of the syngas, while high-pressure cylinder 29 further compresses it and improves efficiency by cooling the inlet gas temperature. Circulation section 30 circulates a portion of the syngas exiting high-pressure cylinder 29, regulating system pressure and flow. Inter-section circulating water cooler 1 provides initial cooling of the syngas exiting low-pressure cylinder 27, and compressor inlet chilled water cooler 17 uses chilled water to cool the syngas entering low-pressure cylinder 27, reducing compression power. Inter-section chilled water cooler 18 further cools the initially cooled syngas, preventing insufficient cooling of the circulating water in summer.

[0051] The low-methane liquid nitrogen washing unit 26 is used to purify and separate the gas at the outlet of the ammonia washing tower 32, providing qualified raw material gas for the syngas compressor 2. The low-methane inlet chilled water cooler 16 is used to cool the gas at the outlet of the ammonia washing tower 32 with chilled water, so that it meets the process requirements of the low-methane liquid nitrogen washing unit 26.
[0052] The chilled water outlet main pipe is connected to the compressor inlet chilled water cooler 17, the inter-stage chilled water cooler 18, the chilled boiler water cooler 3, and the low-pressure A inlet chilled water cooler 16, respectively.

[0053] The chilled water outlet main pipe 6 is also connected to the inter-stage cooler 31 of the air separation unit or a cooler such as a carbon dioxide compressor. The inter-stage cooler 31 of the air separation unit is used to receive chilled water from the chilled water outlet main pipe 6, cool the inter-stage gas of the air separation unit, and expand the application range of chilled water.
[0054] The gasification slag water unit, urea unit, synthetic ammonia unit, demineralized water unit, and low-methyl liquid nitrogen washing unit are all set up using existing technologies, so they are not described in detail.
[0055] This invention also provides a combined cooling and heating system method, employing the aforementioned combined cooling and heating system device, comprising the following steps:
[0056] Step 1: The black water generated by the gasification slag water unit 19 is sent to the black water heat exchanger 33 through the black water pipeline 10 to heat the heat medium water. The heated heat medium water enters the second generator 24 under the drive of the heat medium water pump 12, releases heat and flows back to the black water heat exchanger 33 to form a closed loop. The heat-exchanged black water is sent to the settling tank.
[0057] Step 2: The condensate from the urea unit and the process condensate from the ammonia synthesis unit are mixed in the hot water tank 34. The mixed condensate is driven by the condensate pump 9 and enters the first generator 23. After releasing heat, the condensate is sent to the demineralized water unit for recycling.
[0058] The heat medium water of the gasification black water heat exchanger 33 serves as a separate heat source for the second generator 24 of the absorption chiller 15, forming a closed loop. The process condensate from the ammonia synthesis unit and the condensate from the urea unit are combined and then enter the first generator 23. In this way, the impact on the absorption chiller 15 will be greatly reduced if the flow of the two condensates fluctuates or if the urea unit stops.
[0059] Step 3: The absorption chiller 15 operates using the heat sources from Step 1 and Step 2. The produced low-temperature water is sent to the cold water tank 25. At the same time, the cooling tower 4 provides circulating cooling water to the absorber 20 and condenser 22 of the absorption chiller 15 through the circulating water pipeline 14 and the circulating water pump 13. The heat generated by the absorption chiller 15 during operation is absorbed by the circulating cooling water and then dissipated in the cooling tower 4.
[0060] Step 4: When the low-temperature water in the cold water tank 25 is driven by the cold water pump 7 and transported to the cold boiler water cooler 3 through the cold water outlet main pipe 6, the low-temperature water further cools the cold boiler water that has been initially cooled by the circulating water. The cooled cold boiler water is then sent to the ammonia washing tower 32 to wash and cool the changeover gas. The gas discharged from the ammonia washing tower 32 enters the low-ammonia inlet cold water cooler 16. After being cooled again by the low-temperature water transported through the cold water outlet main pipe 6, it is sent to the low-cost liquid nitrogen washing unit.
[0061] Step 5: The syngas discharged from the low-methane liquid nitrogen washing unit 26 first enters the compressor inlet chilled water cooler, where it is cooled by the low-temperature water supplied by the chilled water outlet main pipe 6. Then it is sent to the low-pressure cylinder 27 of the syngas compressor 2. The syngas discharged from the low-pressure cylinder 27 is first cooled by the inter-stage circulating water cooler 1, and then enters the inter-stage chilled water cooler 18. It is further cooled by the low-temperature water supplied by the chilled water outlet main pipe 6, and then sent to the high-pressure cylinder 29. The gas discharged from the high-pressure cylinder 29 enters the circulation section 30 for processing.
[0062] Step 6: The return water from the cold boiler water cooler 3, the low-temperature inlet cold water cooler 16, the compressor inlet cold water cooler 17, and the inter-section cold water cooler 18 flows into the cold water return main pipe 5 and returns to the absorption chiller 15 for re-cooling and recycling of cold water.
[0063] Summer operating conditions: Due to the high ambient temperature, the cooling effect of circulating water is limited. The amount of cold water used in each cold water cooler is increased to enhance the cooling of media such as boiler water and syngas in the ammonia washing tower 32, so as to ensure that the operating efficiency of the unit is close to that of winter operating conditions.
[0064] Winter operating conditions: Due to the good cooling effect of circulating water, some cold water coolers can be reduced or even stopped according to the production process requirements; at the same time, some of the heat source (such as some condensate or heat transfer water) originally supplied to the absorption chiller 15 can be used for other purposes such as heating.
[0065] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned combined cooling and heating cascade utilization device and method. By using the cold water taken by the absorption refrigeration mechanism to cool the compressor inlet cold water cooler, the compression efficiency of the syngas compressor is improved and the energy consumption of the syngas compressor is reduced. By using the cold water to cool the low-methane inlet cold water cooler and the cold boiler water cooler, the absorption effect of the low-methane liquid nitrogen washing unit and the ammonia washing tower is further improved. This solves the problem of the impact of high circulating water temperature on the system load in summer and achieves the effect of summer production reaching winter operating conditions.
[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.

10. A combined heat and cold power (CHP) method for integrated cascade utilization of heating and cooling, characterized in that: The combined heat and cold power supply device according to any one of claims 1-9 includes the following steps: Step 1: The black water generated by the gasification slag water unit is sent to the black water heat exchanger through the black water pipeline to heat the heat medium water. The heated heat medium water enters the second generator under the drive of the heat medium water pump, releases heat and flows back to the black water heat exchanger to form a closed loop. The heat-exchanged black water is sent to the settling tank. Step 2: The condensate from the urea unit and the process condensate from the ammonia synthesis unit are mixed in a hot water tank. The mixed condensate is then pumped into the first generator and sent to the demineralized water unit for recycling after releasing heat. Step 3: The absorption chiller operates using the heat sources from Step 1 and Step 2. The produced low-temperature water is sent to the cold water tank. At the same time, the cooling tower provides circulating cooling water to the absorber and condenser of the absorption chiller through circulating pipelines and circulating water pumps. The heat generated during the operation of the absorption chiller is absorbed by the circulating cooling water and then dissipated in the cooling tower. Step 4: When the low-temperature water in the cold water tank is driven by the cold water pump and transported to the cold boiler water cooler through the cold water outlet main pipe, the low-temperature water further cools the cold boiler water that has been initially cooled by the circulating water. The cooled cold boiler water is then sent to the ammonia washing tower to wash and cool the changeover gas. The gas discharged from the ammonia washing tower enters the low-ammonia inlet cold water cooler. After being cooled again by the low-temperature water transported through the cold water outlet main pipe, it is sent to the low-cost liquid nitrogen washing unit. Step 5: The syngas discharged from the low-methane liquid nitrogen washing unit first enters the compressor inlet chilled water cooler, where it is cooled by the low-temperature water supplied by the chilled water outlet main pipe. Then it is sent to the low-pressure cylinder of the syngas compressor. The syngas discharged from the low-pressure cylinder is first cooled by the inter-stage circulating water cooler, and then enters the inter-stage chilled water cooler. It is further cooled by the low-temperature water supplied by the chilled water outlet main pipe, and then sent to the high-pressure cylinder. The gas discharged from the high-pressure cylinder enters the circulation section for processing. Step Six: The return water from the cold boiler water cooler, the low-pressure inlet cold water cooler, the compressor inlet cold water cooler, and the inter-section cold water cooler is collected in the cold water return main pipe and flows back to the absorption chiller for re-cooling, thus recycling the cold water.
