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.

[0066] (2) In terms of process, with Figure 1Compared to the catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system shown, the difference is that the circulating working fluid discharged from the heater 4 enters the second compressor 5 to increase its pressure and temperature. After reaching a certain level, it flows through the regenerator 6 to absorb heat and increase its temperature. It then enters the second compressor 5 to continue to increase its pressure and temperature, and then enters the heat exchanger 7 to absorb heat and increase its temperature, thus forming the catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system.
[0067] Figure 11 The catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system shown is implemented as follows:
[0068] (1) Structurally, in Figure 1 In the catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system shown, a dual-energy compressor 18 is added and replaces compressor 3, a second dual-energy compressor 19 is added and replaces second compressor 5, an expander accelerator 20 is added and replaces expander 9, and a third dual-energy compressor 21 is added and replaces third compressor 10.
[0069] (2) In terms of process, with Figure 1 Compared to the catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system shown, the difference lies in the following: the circulating working fluid discharged from the dual-energy compressor 18 flows through the regenerator 6 and the heater 4, gradually releasing heat and cooling down. It then flows through the second dual-energy compressor 19, where it is pressurized, heated, and slowed down. It then flows through the regenerator 6, heat exchanger 7, and heater 8, gradually absorbing heat and heating up. Finally, it flows through the expander 20, where it is depressurized, performs work, and accelerates, before being supplied to the low-temperature heat exchanger 12. The low-pressure circulating working fluid discharged from the third dual-energy compressor 21 flows through the second regenerator 11, releasing heat and cooling down. It then enters the expander 20 through the intermediate low-pressure port, where it is depressurized, performs work, and accelerates, before being supplied to the low-temperature heat exchanger 12. The circulating working fluid then absorbs heat and heats up in the low-temperature heat exchanger 12. The flow is then split into two paths: the first path flows through the second regenerator 11 to absorb heat and increase temperature before entering the dual-energy compressor 18 for pressurization, heating, and deceleration; the second path enters the third dual-energy compressor 21 for pressurization, heating, and deceleration. The mechanical energy output by the expander accelerator 20 provides power to the dual-energy compressor 18, the second dual-energy compressor 19, and the third dual-energy compressor 21, or the mechanical energy output by the expander accelerator 20 provides power to the dual-energy compressor 18, the second dual-energy compressor 19, the third dual-energy compressor 21, and external sources, or the expander accelerator 20 and external sources jointly provide power to the dual-energy compressor 18, the second dual-energy compressor 19, and the third dual-energy compressor 21, forming a catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system.

[0072] (2) In terms of process, with Figure 1 Compared to the catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system shown, the difference lies in the following: the circulating working fluid discharged from the dual-energy compressor 18 flows through the regenerator 6 and the heater 4, gradually releasing heat and cooling down. It then flows through the second dual-energy compressor 19, where it is pressurized, heated, and slowed down. It then flows through the regenerator 6, heat exchanger 7, and heater 8, gradually absorbing heat and heating up. Finally, it flows through the expander 20, where it is depressurized, performs work, and accelerates, before being supplied to the low-temperature heat exchanger 12. The low-pressure circulating working fluid discharged from the diffuser 22 flows through the second regenerator 11, releasing heat and cooling down. It then enters the expander 20 through the intermediate low-pressure port, where it is depressurized, performs work, and accelerates, before being supplied to the low-temperature heat exchanger 12. After absorbing heat and heating up in the low-temperature heat exchanger 12, the energy is divided into two streams: the first stream flows through the second regenerator 11 to absorb heat and heat up before entering the dual-energy compressor 18 for pressurization, heating, and deceleration; the second stream enters the diffuser 22 for pressurization, heating, and deceleration. The mechanical energy output by the expander accelerator 20 provides power to the dual-energy compressor 18 and the second dual-energy compressor 19, or the mechanical energy output by the expander accelerator 20 provides power to the dual-energy compressor 18, the second dual-energy compressor 19, and external components, or the expander accelerator 20 and external components jointly provide power to the dual-energy compressor 18 and the second dual-energy compressor 19, forming a catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system.
