Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of molten salt energy storage heating, and more particularly to a heat exchange system applied to molten salt energy storage heating and a method for operating the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the gradual depletion of fossil energy and the increasing seriousness of environmental problems, the energy supply system is transforming from traditional coal-fired power generation to clean energy dominated by wind and solar energy. Wind and solar energy have significant intra-day fluctuations, and their power generation peaks do not match the social electricity and heat load peaks in time. The molten salt-based energy storage heating technology can store excess heat during the clean energy generation period and release heat during the load peak period, becoming one of the core technologies to alleviate this mismatch problem and has been preliminarily applied in industrial heating and civil heating fields.

[0003] The core advantage of the existing molten salt energy storage heating technology is that it can achieve long-term storage and on-demand release of heat, effectively bridging new energy generation and terminal heat demand. Moreover, molten salt has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, large specific heat capacity, and strong chemical stability, making it suitable as a high-temperature heat storage medium. However, this technology has obvious shortcomings when applied in low-parameter heating fields. First, the storage temperature of molten salt is generally high, resulting in a large temperature difference between the molten salt and the low-parameter heat medium, which can easily cause condensation and blockage of the pipeline on the molten salt side due to local low temperature, and boiling on the cooling side due to local high temperature, leading to equipment overpressure. At the same time, the large temperature difference can cause severe thermal stress on the heat exchange equipment, resulting in equipment weld cracking, pipe wall deformation, and other failure problems. Second, existing solutions often use air as an intermediate heat exchange medium to reduce the local temperature difference, but air has a very low thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat, requiring a large increase in heat exchanger area to meet the heat exchange demand, which not only increases equipment investment costs but also requires a large power fan to drive air circulation, resulting in high fan power consumption and high operating noise, making it difficult to balance economy and environmental protection.

[0004] Therefore, to address the problems of large heat exchange temperature difference leading to equipment failure, poor air heat exchange economy, and weak system adaptability to fluctuations in the existing molten salt energy storage heating technology in low-parameter fields, there is an urgent need for a heat exchange system applied to molten salt energy storage heating and a method for operating the same. By constructing a high-temperature and low-temperature double heat exchange circuit, designing a mixed temperature device with a free expansion structure, and establishing a full-parameter dynamic adjustment mechanism, safe heat exchange under large temperature difference is achieved, equipment costs and operating energy consumption are reduced, and the system's adaptability to new energy fluctuations is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of the present application.

[0019] A heat exchange operation method applied to molten salt energy storage heat supply, comprising a high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger 1, a heat supply circulating heat exchanger 2, a temperature mixer 3, a buffer tank 4, a circulating pump 5, an adjusting valve 6, and a heat exchange circuit connecting the above devices.

[0020] The heat exchange circuit uses liquid as the heat exchange medium.

[0021] The heat exchange system is composed of a high-temperature heat exchange circuit and a low-temperature heat exchange circuit, and the circuits share the pipeline from the temperature mixer 3 to the circulating pump 5 and have the same direction.

[0022] In the stable working condition, the heat loads of the high-temperature heat exchange circuit and the low-temperature heat exchange circuit are the same.

[0023] In the stable working condition, the flow rate of the circulating pump 5 is the sum of the flow rates of the high-temperature heat exchange circuit and the low-temperature heat exchange circuit.

[0024] The heat exchange circuit is provided with at least one flow rate adjusting valve on the non-shared pipeline of the heat exchange circuit.

[0025] In the stable working condition, the medium temperature in the shared pipeline of the high-temperature heat exchange circuit and the low-temperature heat exchange circuit can be adjusted by adjusting the flow rate ratio of the high-temperature heat exchange circuit and the low-temperature heat exchange circuit. The adjusting formula is: Wherein, T is the medium temperature in the shared pipeline; Tin is the high-temperature medium inlet temperature; ΔT is the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger temperature difference; m is the high-temperature heat exchange circuit medium mass flow rate; Tin is the low-temperature heat medium inlet temperature; ΔT is the heat supply circulating heat exchanger temperature difference; m is the low-temperature heat exchange circuit medium mass flow rate.

[0026] As shown in a heat exchange operation method applied to molten salt energy storage heat supply, Figure 2 The heat exchange operation method specifically further comprises: S1, fault diagnosis is performed on each device of the system; Specifically need to explain is: the fault diagnosis: confirm high temperature molten salt heat exchanger 1, heat supply circulating heat exchanger 2 heat exchange channel without jamming, mixed temperature ware thin wall inner tube without deformation, buffer tank pressure sensor, circulating pump speed sensor, regulating valve opening degree sensor are normal work, and circulating pump 5, regulating valve 6 are in closed state.

[0027] S2, through the heat medium loop start, circulating pump start and flow regulation and buffer tank 4 pressure correction complete high temperature loop start; Specifically need to explain is: the heat medium loop start: open heat supply circulating heat exchanger heat medium inlet valve and outlet valve, make low parameter heat medium with design flow into low temperature side, through temperature sensor real-time monitoring heat medium inlet temperature, control its stable at set value;The circulating pump start and flow regulation: start circulating pump, initial setting speed, gradually improve the speed and make the low temperature heat exchange loop heat exchange medium flow from 0 to design flow;In the process, through flow sensor real-time acquisition flow data, if the flow deviates from the design value, through frequency regulation speed correction, correction logic as follows: when the flow is lower than 95% of the design value, every 30s improve the speed 50r / min;When the flow is higher than 105% of the design value, every 30s reduce the speed 50r / min, until the flow is stable in reasonable threshold range;Through buffer tank pressure sensor real-time acquisition pressure data, if the pressure deviates from the rated value, based on the correlation between circulating pump speed and pressure correction, correction formula as follows , wherein N represents the corrected circulating pump speed, N represents the circulating pump speed before correction, P represents the rated pressure of buffer tank 4, P represents the current pressure of buffer tank 4, P represents the rated outlet pressure of circulating pump;The high temperature loop start is specifically determined as: when the low temperature heat exchange loop flow is stable at 2.85-3.15kg / s, the buffer tank 4 pressure is stable at 1.14×10 5 -1.26×10 5Pa, when the outlet temperature of the heat medium is stabilized in the threshold range, it is determined that the low-temperature heat exchange circuit is started and completed, and enters a stable running state. Among them, the order of "starting the low-temperature circuit (heat receiving end) first and then starting the high-temperature circuit (heat source end)" conforms to the control logic of the industrial heat exchange system "stabilizing the end first and then supplying the heat source": if the high-temperature circuit is started first, the high-temperature medium will cause the temperature of the temperature mixer to rise suddenly after entering the temperature mixer, which will directly cause the heat medium to boil; stabilizing the low-temperature circuit first can "absorb" the heat of the subsequent high-temperature medium through the continuous flow of the heat medium, thereby avoiding temperature fluctuations. The necessity of pressure correction of the buffer tank 4: when the circulating pump 5 is started or the flow is adjusted, the pressure of the pipeline will fluctuate instantaneously (such as the pressure rising sharply when the pump is started), and if it is not corrected, the pressure exceeding the threshold will cause the pipeline weld to crack, so the pressure fluctuation can be controlled within ±5% through the speed-pressure correlation formula, thereby ensuring the safety of the pipeline.

[0028] S3, starting the molten salt circuit and controlling the temperature, adjusting the valve opening to stabilize the flow of the high-temperature circuit based on the formula, synchronously controlling the total flow of the circulating pump, and meeting the conditions of stable flow, molten salt outlet temperature and pump pressure to determine that the circuit is started and completed; Specifically, the specific way of starting the molten salt circuit and controlling the temperature is: opening the molten salt inlet valve and outlet valve of the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger, so that the high-temperature molten salt enters the high-temperature side at the designed flow rate, and the temperature of the molten salt inlet is controlled by the temperature sensor to be stable at the set value; at the same time, the outlet temperature of the molten salt is monitored, which needs to meet the double threshold constraint condition, the double threshold constraint condition includes threshold 1 and threshold 2, the threshold 1: the outlet temperature of the molten salt the initial melting temperature of the molten salt + safety redundancy; the threshold 2: the outlet temperature of the molten salt the inlet temperature of the molten salt minus twice the upper end difference, wherein the safety redundancy is determined according to the flow rate of the molten salt, and the upper end difference represents the difference between the inlet temperature of the molten salt and the outlet temperature of the heat exchange medium in the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger; the maximum value of the two thresholds is taken to avoid condensation risk; the specific way of adjusting the valve opening is: initially setting the opening of the adjusting valve to 20%, collecting the medium flow through the flow sensor of the high-temperature heat exchange circuit, gradually increasing the opening based on the correlation model of opening-flow-pressure, so that the flow approaches the designed value, and the correlation model formula is as follows: wherein represents the current flow of the high-temperature heat exchange circuit, represents the designed flow of the high-temperature heat exchange circuit, represents the opening of the adjusting valve, This indicates the current outlet pressure of the circulating pump. The specific method for controlling the total flow rate of the circulating pump is as follows: while adjusting the valve opening, simultaneously increase the circulating pump speed to stabilize the total output flow rate within ±5% of the designed total flow rate. During this process, it is necessary to ensure that the circulating pump outlet pressure gradually rises to the rated value to avoid sudden pressure increases that could cause pipeline impact. The circuit startup is complete when the high-temperature heat exchange circuit flow rate stabilizes at 2.375-2.625 kg / s, the molten salt outlet temperature stabilizes within the threshold range, and the circulating pump outlet pressure stabilizes at 2.375 × [value missing]. -2.625× When the temperature reaches Pa, the high-temperature heat exchange loop is considered to have started successfully, and the system enters a dual-loop joint operation state. The core purpose of controlling the high-temperature molten salt outlet temperature is as follows: Molten salt solidifies when the temperature is below its freezing point, but in actual operation, if the molten salt stays in the heat exchanger for too long, the local temperature may fall below the freezing point. Therefore, setting "outlet temperature ≥ inlet temperature - 2 × upper end difference" ensures that the molten salt remains liquid in the heat exchanger, preventing blockage. The necessity of coordinated adjustment of the regulating valve opening and the total flow rate of the circulating pump is also crucial: The high-temperature loop flow rate is affected not only by the regulating valve opening but also by the circulating pump outlet pressure (the greater the pressure difference, the greater the flow rate). If only the opening is adjusted without adjusting the pump speed, the total flow rate will exceed the threshold, causing the circulating pump to overload. Therefore, synchronous adjustment ensures flow matching between the two loops, preventing system overload.

[0029] S4. Calculate the mixer outlet temperature by combining multiple parameters. If the temperature deviates from the set range, adjust the high and low temperature circuit flow ratio based on the formula to control the temperature within the set range. Specifically, it should be noted that the calculation of the mixer outlet temperature is achieved by using flow rate sensors to collect the flow rate of the medium in the main pipe (for the low-temperature medium) and the branch pipe (for the high-temperature medium). Flow velocity of medium in branch pipe Combined with the density of the heat exchange medium Calculate the mixer outlet temperature ,in Indicates the molten salt inlet temperature. This indicates a poor temperature difference at the top of the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger. Indicates the flow rate of the low-temperature heat exchange circuit. Indicates the inlet temperature of the heat medium. This indicates the temperature difference at the lower end of the heat exchanger in the heating cycle. This represents the specific heat capacity of the heat exchange medium at constant pressure; the formula-based correction of the high and low temperature loop flow ratio: if If the value exceeds the threshold, it indicates that the proportion of high-temperature medium is too high, and the opening of the regulating valve needs to be reduced to lower the concentration. This makes the flow rate higher than / Lower; if If the value is less than the threshold value of 2, increase the opening of the regulating valve to improve performance. , the modified flow ratio needs to meet , wherein represents the mixed temperature outlet temperature target value, the target flow ratio is calculated by the formula, and the steady value is reversely calculated adjusted value, and finally controlled in the set range, so as to avoid molten salt condensation and hot medium boiling.

[0030] S5, real-time monitoring and correction of thermal stress and fluctuation adjustment to ensure temperature and stress stability; Specifically, the real-time monitoring and correction of thermal stress: through the stress sensor on the wall surface of the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger and the heat supply circulating heat exchanger, the wall surface thermal stress of the equipment is collected in real time ; combined with the system operation parameters, the theoretical thermal stress is calculated by the following formula and compared with the measured value for verification: , wherein k represents the thermal conductivity of the heat transfer medium, if exceeds the allowable value, the total flow needs to be reduced by simultaneously reducing and , and the adjustment amplitude meets , through the adjustment, the thermal stress is reduced to the allowable range, so as to avoid equipment failure due to excessive stress; the fluctuation adjustment: when the high-temperature molten salt inlet temperature fluctuates, by adjusting adaptation: when the temperature rises, increase to reduce the residence time of molten salt in the heat exchanger and avoid local overheating; when the temperature decreases, decrease to prolong the residence time and ensure sufficient heat exchange; when the hot medium inlet temperature fluctuates, by adjusting adaptation: when the temperature rises, increase to improve the heat exchange efficiency, and when the temperature decreases, decrease to avoid too low outlet temperature of the hot medium; the whole adjustment process needs to ensure that and the thermal stress are always within the set threshold, so as to ensure the stability of the system.

[0031] S6, system shutdown is completed by stopping the high-temperature molten salt circuit, stopping the high-temperature circuit and adjusting valve, and cooling and depressurizing the system.
