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.

Detailed implementation method:

[0029] First, it should be noted that the structure and process are not repeated unless necessary, and obvious processes are not described. The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0030] Figure 1 The catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system shown is implemented as follows:

[0031] (1) Structurally, it mainly consists of a heat source regenerator, a coke-regeneration system, an expander, a compressor, a second expander, a third expander, a regenerator, a heat exchanger, a heating furnace, a heater, and a low-temperature heat exchanger; externally, there is an air passage connected to the coke-regeneration system 2 via the heat source regenerator 1, the coke-regeneration system 2 also has a flue gas passage connected to the outside via the heat exchanger 8 and the heat source regenerator 1, the coke-regeneration system 2 also has a CO-rich flue gas passage connected to the heating furnace 9, the heating furnace 9 also has a flue gas passage connected to the outside via the heat exchanger 8 and the heat source regenerator 1, the low-temperature heat exchanger 11 has a circulating working fluid passage connected to the compressor 4, and the second expander 5 After the regenerator 7 is connected by a circulating working fluid channel, it is connected to the compressor 4 through an intermediate port. The compressor 4 also has a circulating working fluid channel that is connected to the expander 3 via the heat exchanger 8 and the heater 9. The expander 3 also has a circulating working fluid channel that is connected to the heater 10 and then splits into two paths—the first path is connected to the second expander 5 and the second path is connected to the regenerator 7.

[0032] (2) In terms of process, external air flows through the heat source regenerator 1 to absorb heat and increase its temperature, and then enters the coke-regeneration system 2 to participate in combustion; coke forms on the surface of the air and catalyst, and a series of processes including combustion are carried out to regenerate the catalyst. The coke-regeneration system 2 discharges flue gas with different CO contents in two separate paths; the flue gas generated by the coke-regeneration system 2 and after separation and purification (with low or almost no CO content) flows through the heat exchanger 8 and the heat source regenerator 1 to gradually release heat and cool down, and then is discharged to the outside; the CO-rich flue gas generated by the coke-regeneration system 2 and after separation and purification enters the heating furnace 9. The CO-rich flue gas completes combustion in the heating furnace 9 to generate high-temperature flue gas.

The circulating working fluid discharged from the regenerator 7 flows through the third expander 6 to reduce pressure and perform work, then through the low-temperature heat exchanger 11 to absorb heat before entering the compressor 4 to increase pressure and temperature. The flue gas and CO-rich flue gas emitted from the coke-regeneration system 2 provide the driving heat load. The air and flue gas carry away the low-temperature emission heat load through the heat source flow process. The heated medium obtains a medium-temperature heat load through the heater 10, and the low-temperature heat medium provides a low-temperature heat load through the low-temperature heat exchanger 11. The mechanical energy output from the expander 3, the second expander 5, and the third expander 6 provides power to the compressor 4, or the mechanical energy output from the expander 3, the second expander 5, and the third expander 6 provides power to the compressor 4 and the external environment, or the expander 3, the second expander 5, the third expander 6, and the external environment jointly provide power to the compressor 4, forming a catalyst regeneration energy recovery heat pump system.
