Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermodynamics and heat pump technology. Background technology:

[0002] Catalytic cracking is the process of producing light petroleum products such as liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, and diesel from heavy petroleum hydrocarbons under the action of a catalyst. When feedstock undergoes catalytic cracking on a catalyst, on the one hand, it generates products such as gases, gasoline, and diesel through cracking and other reactions; on the other hand, condensation reactions occur simultaneously to generate coke deposited on the catalyst surface—which reduces the activity of the catalyst.

[0003] Catalyst regeneration involves burning away the coke deposited on the catalyst with air to restore its activity. This process releases a large amount of high-temperature heat energy, which should be fully utilized. Currently, the main method for recovering energy from regenerated flue gas is to install waste heat boilers to generate steam or further generate power. However, careful analysis reveals the following problems:

[0004] (1) There is a large irreversible loss of temperature difference in the coking process; (2) The composition, temperature and quantity of flue gas are not considered at the same time in the utilization stage; (3) The flue gas energy utilization technology needs to be improved. There is a lot of room for improvement in both power utilization and heating utilization; (4) The flue gas energy recovery is not combined with the overall energy use of the oil refining process to enhance its application value.

[0005] Based on the fundamental principles of simplicity, initiative, safety, and efficiency in energy utilization, this invention presents a catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system with a reasonable process and simple structure, which achieves efficient / high-value recovery and utilization of catalyst regeneration energy.

[0065] (2) In terms of process, with Figure 7The difference between the catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system flow diagram shown is as follows: the circulating working fluid discharged from the dual-energy compressor 18 gradually absorbs heat and increases in temperature through the heat exchanger 9 and combustion chamber 8, then flows through the high-temperature expander 3 to reduce pressure and perform work, and flows through the heater 10 to release heat and decrease in temperature. Afterward, it splits into two paths—the first path flows through the expander accelerator 19 to reduce pressure and increase speed, flows through the regenerator 7 to absorb heat and increase temperature, and enters the dual-energy compressor 18 through the intermediate air inlet port to increase pressure, increase temperature, and decrease speed; the second path supplies the regenerator 7; the circulating working fluid releases heat and decreases in temperature as it flows through the regenerator 7 and the second regenerator 16. The condensate flows through the nozzle 20, where its pressure is reduced and its speed is increased. It then flows through the evaporator 11 to absorb heat and evaporate or to be further superheated. After passing through the second regenerator 16, it absorbs heat and increases in temperature. Finally, it enters the dual-energy compressor 18, where its pressure and temperature are increased and its speed is reduced.

Afterwards, it splits into two paths—the first path flows through the second expander 21 to reduce pressure, perform work, and increase speed, flows through the regenerator 7 to absorb heat and increase temperature, and enters the dual-energy compressor 18 through the intermediate air inlet port to increase pressure, increase temperature, and decrease speed; the second path supplies the regenerator 7; the circulating working fluid flows through the regenerator 7 and the second regenerator 16 to release heat and condense. The condensate flows through the nozzle 20, where its pressure is reduced and its speed is increased. It then flows through the evaporator 11 to absorb heat and evaporate or to be further superheated. After passing through the second regenerator 16, it absorbs heat and increases in temperature. Finally, it enters the dual-energy compressor 18, where its pressure and temperature are increased and its speed is reduced.

[0070] exist Figure 7 In the catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system shown, a two-phase expander 22 is added and replaces the throttle valve 6. The two-phase expander 22 is connected to the compressor 4 and transmits power.

Then it enters the evaporator 11 to absorb heat and evaporate or to be further superheated. The work output by the two-phase expander 22 is provided to the compressor 4 to provide power, thus forming a catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system.

[0071] Figure 13 The catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system shown is implemented as follows:

Steam discharged from the regenerator 7 enters the compressor 4 through the intermediate port to increase pressure and temperature. The high-pressure steam discharged from the compressor 4 flows through the heat exchanger 9 and the combustion chamber 8 to gradually absorb heat and increase temperature. It flows through the high-temperature expander 3 to reduce pressure and do work, and flows through the heater 10 to release heat and decrease temperature. Then it is divided into two paths - the first path enters the low-temperature expander 5 to reduce pressure and do work, and the second path flows through the regenerator 7 and the second regenerator 16 to release heat and condense before being discharged to the outside, forming the catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system.
