Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of compressed air energy storage, and more specifically, to a method, system, medium, and equipment for optimizing the design of heat exchange equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Among existing large-scale, long-duration energy storage technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has attracted attention due to its advantages such as large scalability, long service life, and relatively lower geographical constraints compared to pumped hydro storage. Therefore, CAES power plants on the renewable energy side using compressed air energy storage are of great significance for reducing wind and solar curtailment rates and enhancing grid stability.

[0003] As the primary energy exchange device in a CAES (Computer-Aided Systems) system, the design accuracy of heat exchangers directly impacts system performance. Therefore, modeling and studying the optimization design calculations of heat exchangers helps to make system operation more closely resemble the actual needs of power plant construction. In the optimization design of heat exchangers, not only are accurate calculations of heat transfer performance and pressure drop characteristics required, but detailed geometric dimension calculations and optimizations are also essential. This comprehensive design approach will significantly improve the engineering applicability of CAES research, making theoretical research results closer to engineering practice.

[0004] Currently, the design methods for heat exchangers in CAES systems have the following limitations: First, mainstream designs rely on pre-defined heat exchanger modules in general-purpose commercial simulation software. These modules are typically "black box" or "grey box" models, where the internal geometry and heat transfer flow relationships are encapsulated and fixed. Designers find it difficult to deeply and flexibly customize and optimize the core geometric details of the heat exchanger (such as precise optimization of tube spacing, fine adjustment of baffle cut rate, and targeted design of leakage channels) according to the specific operating conditions of the CAES system.

[0005] Secondly, in some CAES system integration models built independently based on programming languages, researchers often use extremely simplified heat exchanger models (such as using a fixed efficiency-to-number of heat transfer units or a simplified lumped parameter model) to reduce model complexity and computational burden. While these models improve system simulation speed, they completely ignore the detailed internal geometry of the heat exchanger, causing the design results to deviate from engineering reality and become unusable for directly guiding equipment manufacturing and power plant construction.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field for a heat exchanger optimization design method that can perform in-depth design of the geometric details of heat exchangers, can be directly used to guide the manufacturing of heat exchange equipment, and at the same time take into account design flexibility.

Attached Figure Description

[0084] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments of this application will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0085] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a heat exchanger optimization design method provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a heat exchanger optimization design system provided in one embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0086] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0087] This application proposes an optimized design method for heat exchange equipment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: S11. Based on the design conditions of the heat exchange equipment, determine the thermodynamic parameters and geometric design parameters of the heat exchange equipment. The geometric design parameters include at least the outer area of ​​the heat exchanger pipes, the inner area of ​​the heat exchanger pipes, and the pipe wall thickness. In this step, based on the overall design scheme of the compressed air energy storage system, the design operating conditions (i.e., design conditions, including on-site installation space limitations, the type and quantity of fluids requiring heat exchange, temperature, and pressure) allocated to the target heat exchange equipment (i.e., the heat exchanger) can be extracted. This allows for the determination of the thermodynamic parameters that the heat exchange equipment needs to handle, such as the inlet and outlet temperatures on the tube and shell sides, the fluid mass flow rates on the tube and shell sides, and the inlet and outlet pressures. Based on the design conditions, combined with the thermodynamic parameters of the heat exchange equipment and design experience, those skilled in the art can initially formulate some geometric design parameters (i.e., key geometric design parameters, such as the number of tube passes, the number of shell passes, the tube diameter, the tube length, and the arrangement of the tubes), and obtain other geometric design parameters (i.e., intermediate geometric design parameters) through calculation, including the outer area of ​​the heat exchanger pipes, the inner area of ​​the heat exchanger pipes, and the tube wall thickness.

[0088] Based on the above design conditions and thermodynamic parameters, objective boundary conditions and clear variables were established for the design of all the geometric design parameters, so that the values ​​of all geometric design parameters can initially meet the design conditions and thermodynamic parameter requirements of the heat exchange equipment.

[0089] It should be noted that the above geometric design parameters are mainly structural parameters that can be directly determined or calculated by those skilled in the art based on the design conditions and thermodynamic parameters of the heat exchange equipment, and do not include some structural parameters in the heat exchange equipment that can be flexibly adjusted.

[0090] S12. Determine the tube-side heat transfer film coefficient and shell-side heat transfer film coefficient of the heat exchange equipment based on the geometric design parameters. In step S12, both the tube-side heat transfer film coefficient and the shell-side heat transfer film coefficient characterize the convective heat transfer capability between the fluid and the corresponding wall surface of the heat exchanger. The larger the number, the smaller the heat transfer resistance and the better the heat transfer effect. By using the geometric design parameters determined in step S11, combined with the tube-side and shell-side Reynolds numbers, the aforementioned tube-side heat transfer film coefficient and shell-side heat transfer film coefficient can be determined. This links the physical structural parameters of the geometric design parameters with the local heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger, thereby providing data support for the subsequent calculation of the overall heat transfer coefficient.

[0091] S13. Determine the total heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchange equipment based on the tube-side heat transfer film coefficient, the shell-side heat transfer film coefficient, the outer area of ​​the heat exchanger pipe, the inner area of ​​the heat exchanger pipe, and the pipe wall thickness. The overall heat transfer coefficient is a comprehensive characterization of the heat transfer performance of the entire heat exchange equipment. Its value is determined by the heat transfer film coefficients, thermal resistance, and fouling resistance of the tube and shell sides. It can quantitatively evaluate the overall heat transfer capacity of the heat exchanger and provide data support for the calculation of the total heat transfer area of ​​the subsequent heat exchange equipment.

[0092] S14. Determine the total heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange equipment based on the thermodynamic parameters and the overall heat transfer coefficient; The total heat exchange area is determined based on the total heat load that the heat exchanger needs to transfer, the inlet and outlet temperatures of the tube side and shell side, and the aforementioned total heat transfer coefficient. This provides a precise design target for the effective surface area of ​​the heat exchange equipment as a whole participating in heat exchange, ensuring that the heat exchange equipment meets the overall heat load requirements under the design conditions.

[0093] Based on the calculated total heat exchange area, design guidance can be provided for all structures involved in heat exchange in the heat exchange equipment: under the premise of meeting the total heat exchange area requirement, other structural parameters in the heat exchange equipment, except for the above-mentioned geometric design parameters, can be flexibly adjusted, making the structural design of the heat exchange equipment more flexible. And by anchoring the total heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger and the above-mentioned geometric design parameters, it can be ensured that the flexibly designed heat exchange equipment can still meet the overall heat load requirements.

[0094] Based on this, the total heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger and its corresponding geometric design parameters can constitute the design scheme of the heat exchange equipment, which meets the basic requirements of the heat exchange equipment (such as heat load requirements and design conditions).

[0095] S15. Substitute the total heat exchange area into the evaluation model, determine whether the total heat exchange area meets the preset conditions of the evaluation model, take the geometric design parameters corresponding to the total heat exchange area that meets the preset conditions as the target design parameters, and apply the target design parameters to the design of the heat exchange equipment.

[0096] In this step, the number of design schemes obtained based on steps S11-S14 may be large. Therefore, the design schemes can be screened by evaluating the evaluation model and its preset conditions. The evaluation model and its preset conditions can be formulated according to the design requirements of the design stage for economy (i.e. manufacturing cost of heat exchange equipment) and / or heat exchange efficiency, thereby selecting the better design scheme from multiple design schemes.

[0097] In this embodiment, an optimized design method for heat exchange equipment is constructed. Based on the design operating conditions, it can determine the critical total heat exchange area and geometric design parameters of the heat exchange equipment structure. While ensuring that the heat load requirements of the heat exchange equipment are met, it provides flexible adjustment space for setting other structural parameters, improving the flexibility of the heat exchange equipment design. Simultaneously, the determination of the total heat exchange area and geometric design parameters ensures the engineering feasibility of the heat exchange equipment in practical applications, effectively avoiding situations where the design scheme deviates from engineering reality. It can be directly used to guide the manufacturing of the heat exchange equipment. Therefore, the optimized design method for heat exchange equipment provided in this application can provide a heat exchange equipment design scheme that balances design flexibility and engineering feasibility.

[0098] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in one implementation, the present invention also provides a method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger. In the method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger, step S11 includes: S21. Determine several key geometric design parameters of the heat exchanger structure based on the design conditions of the heat exchanger. Among them, key geometric design parameters are usually independent variables that can be freely formulated or preferentially selected by those skilled in the art based on design conditions and experience during the design process. There is no direct formula relationship between these independent variables. Based on these independent variables, the relevant intermediate geometric design parameters can be calculated.

[0099] Key geometric design parameters include at least the shell outer diameter, heat exchange tube outer diameter, baffle spacing, baffle cut length, tube spacing, and tube bundle arrangement. Specifically, the shell outer diameter determines the overall size and cost framework of the equipment; the heat exchange tube outer diameter determines the heat transfer area and flow resistance characteristics; the baffle spacing determines the velocity, flow regime, and number of backflows of the shell-side fluid; the baffle cut length determines the ratio of the window region to the crossflow region; the tube spacing determines the compactness of the tube bundle; and the tube bundle arrangement determines the fluid flow path and heat transfer characteristics.

[0100] S22. Based on the thermodynamic parameters and the key geometric design parameters, determine the intermediate geometric design parameters and correction coefficients of the heat exchange equipment. The intermediate geometric design parameters include the outer area of ​​the heat exchanger pipe, the inner area of ​​the heat exchanger pipe, and the pipe wall thickness. The correction coefficients include at least the baffle structure correction coefficient and the inlet and outlet cross-section baffle spacing correction coefficient.

[0101] In this embodiment, the geometric design parameters are defined as including the aforementioned key geometric design parameters and intermediate geometric design parameters. Combined with the final obtained total heat transfer coefficient and total heat transfer area, the design parameters of the heat exchange equipment can be deeply optimized while meeting thermodynamic performance requirements, thus satisfying the high-precision dynamic simulation needs of the heat exchange equipment. Furthermore, since the various geometric design parameters of this application already meet the thermodynamic performance requirements, the thermodynamic performance of the heat exchange equipment remains stable during the actual design phase after anchoring the various geometric design parameters of this application. Based on this, structural details other than the aforementioned parameters (i.e., key geometric design parameters, intermediate geometric design parameters, and total heat transfer area) can be flexibly adjusted without repeatedly verifying thermodynamic performance, thereby improving the flexibility of heat exchange structure design.

[0148] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in one implementation, the present invention also provides a method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger. In the method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger, step S14 includes: The overall heat transfer coefficient Substitute the total heat exchange area model of the heat exchange equipment into the model, and determine the total heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange equipment based on the total heat exchange area model. ; The total heat transfer area model includes:

[0149] in, For heat conduction on the shell side, The weighted average temperature difference is determined based on thermodynamic parameters. For calculating temperature differences in complex flow patterns, the values ​​are based on the inlet and outlet temperatures on the pipe and shell sides, and take into account the flow arrangement.

[0150] In step S15, determining whether the total heat exchange area meets the preset conditions of the evaluation model can be based on a preset threshold. For example, if the total heat exchange area is greater than a preset minimum threshold, the total heat exchange area is deemed to meet the preset conditions of the evaluation model. Alternatively, if the total cost of the heat exchange equipment determined based on the total heat exchange area is less than a preset maximum cost threshold, the total heat exchange area is deemed to meet the preset conditions of the evaluation model. Another approach is to comprehensively evaluate multiple design schemes (different design schemes have different geometric design parameters) determined based on design conditions, and determine the total heat exchange area corresponding to the most optimal design scheme as meeting the preset conditions of the evaluation model. For example, the total heat exchange area corresponding to the design scheme with the lowest total cost among multiple design schemes is determined to meet the preset conditions of the evaluation model. Or, the total heat exchange area corresponding to the design scheme with the largest total heat exchange area among multiple design schemes is determined to meet the preset conditions of the evaluation model.

[0151] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in one implementation, the present invention also provides a method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger. In the method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger, step S21 includes: S51. Based on the design conditions of the heat exchange equipment, determine the allowable range of the key geometric design parameters of the heat exchange equipment structure; S52. Within the allowable range, determine the key parameter group of the heat exchanger structure, and each key parameter group includes multiple key geometric design parameters of the heat exchanger structure. Meanwhile, step S15 includes: S61. Substitute the total heat exchange area corresponding to each of the key parameter groups into the evaluation model to obtain the corresponding evaluation reference value; S62. Determine the target extreme value from all the evaluation reference values, and determine the total heat exchange area corresponding to the target extreme value as meeting the preset conditions of the evaluation model.

[0152] In this embodiment, the evaluation reference value is a reference value for evaluating the design parameter scheme of the heat exchange equipment, and the target extreme value is the optimal value among all evaluation reference values. Depending on the type of evaluation reference value, the target extreme value can be the maximum or minimum value among all evaluation reference values. For example, the evaluation reference value can be the total cost of the heat exchange equipment (the total cost can be calculated based on the heat exchange area). From an economic perspective, the lower the total cost of the heat exchange equipment, the better. Therefore, the corresponding target extreme value of the evaluation reference value is the minimum value among all evaluation reference values ​​(i.e., the total cost of the heat exchange equipment). Alternatively, the evaluation reference value can be the total heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange equipment. From the perspective of the working efficiency of the heat exchange equipment, the larger the total heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange equipment, the better. Therefore, the corresponding target extreme value of the evaluation reference value is the maximum value among all evaluation reference values ​​(i.e., the total heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange equipment).

[0153] This embodiment does not explicitly limit the design parameters of the heat exchange equipment. Instead, it preliminarily defines the allowable range of different key geometric design parameters based on the design conditions. Based on this allowable range, a large number of design schemes can be formed. The key parameter groups (i.e., multiple key geometric design parameters) of each design scheme are different (i.e., at least one key geometric design parameter is different in any two design schemes). Correspondingly, the intermediate geometric design parameters and total heat exchange area determined based on the key parameter groups are also different. Consequently, the evaluation reference values ​​determined based on the total heat exchange area are also different. By comprehensively comparing the evaluation reference values ​​corresponding to all design schemes, the optimal scheme (e.g., lowest cost or largest total heat exchange area) can be found from all design schemes according to design requirements (e.g., cost, or heat exchange efficiency).

[0154] Based on this, the aforementioned preset condition can be: the evaluation reference value corresponding to the total heat exchange area reaches the target extreme value (i.e., the maximum or minimum value representing the optimal value of the solution) among the evaluation reference values ​​corresponding to all key parameter groups (or all technical solutions). In this case, the total heat exchange area that meets the preset condition and all its corresponding geometric design parameters (including key geometric design parameters and intermediate geometric design parameters) can be used as the final output target design parameters to guide the design and manufacturing of the heat exchange equipment.

[0155] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in one implementation, the present invention also provides a method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger. In this method, the evaluation model includes: S71. Determine the total cost of the heat exchange equipment based on the total heat exchange area; S72. A comprehensive evaluation value is obtained by weighting and comprehensively evaluating the total heat exchange area, the corresponding total heat exchange coefficient, and the total cost. The weighted comprehensive evaluation of the total heat exchange area, the corresponding total heat transfer coefficient, and the total cost can be achieved by first normalizing the total heat exchange area, the total heat transfer coefficient, and the total cost. For example, the normalized values ​​of the total heat exchange area, the total heat transfer coefficient, and the total cost can be:

[0156]

[0157] C

[0158] Where K is the normalized value of the overall heat transfer coefficient. This represents the maximum value of the total heat transfer coefficient for all key parameter groups. This represents the maximum value of the total heat transfer coefficient for all key parameter groups. The total heat transfer coefficient for the i-th key parameter group; This is the normalized value for the total heat exchange area. This represents the maximum total heat transfer area for all key parameter groups. This represents the maximum total heat transfer area for all key parameter groups. Let be the total heat transfer area of ​​the i-th key parameter group; C is the normalized value of the total cost. The maximum value of the total cost for all key parameter groups. The maximum value of the total cost for all key parameter groups. Let be the total cost of the i-th key parameter group.

[0159] Then, based on the design requirements, determine the respective weights of the total heat exchange area, total heat exchange coefficient, and total cost. For example, the weight of the total heat exchange coefficient is 0.4, the weight of the total heat exchange area is 0.3, and the weight of the total cost is 0.3. Then, based on the normalized values ​​of the total heat exchange area, total heat exchange coefficient, and total cost and their corresponding weights, calculate the corresponding comprehensive evaluation value.

[0160] S73. Based on the comprehensive evaluation value of all the key parameter groups, determine the maximum value of the comprehensive evaluation value, and determine the total heat exchange area corresponding to the maximum value of the comprehensive evaluation value as meeting the preset conditions of the evaluation model. The comprehensive evaluation value is regarded as the evaluation reference value, and the maximum value of all comprehensive evaluation values ​​is regarded as the target extreme value.

[0161] In this embodiment, the total cost is determined based on the total heat exchange area, and a multi-objective comprehensive evaluation model is established considering the heat exchange area, total heat transfer coefficient, and total cost. Appropriate weighting coefficients are assigned to each of these three parameters based on their relative importance. A weighted comprehensive evaluation is then performed on these three parameters based on these weighting coefficients to obtain a comprehensive evaluation value, which is used as the evaluation reference value. The preset condition is that the comprehensive evaluation value reaches the maximum value among all technical solutions. By comparing the comprehensive evaluation values ​​of different design schemes, the design scheme with the maximum comprehensive evaluation value is selected from all design schemes, and the design parameters corresponding to this design scheme are used as target design parameters in the design of the heat exchange equipment. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the heat exchanger's performance and cost, resulting in a design that achieves an optimal balance between cost and performance.

[0162] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the present invention also provides a method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger. In this method, the evaluation model includes: S71' Determine the total cost of the heat exchange equipment based on the total heat exchange area; S72'. Based on the total cost of all the key parameter groups, determine the minimum value of the total cost, and determine the total heat exchange area corresponding to the minimum value of the total cost as meeting the preset conditions of the evaluation model. The total cost is used as the evaluation reference value, and the target extreme value is the minimum of all the total costs.

[0163] In this embodiment, a single-objective evaluation model for the total cost of the heat exchanger is established. The total cost is determined based on the total heat exchange area and used as an evaluation reference value. By comparing the total costs under different design schemes, the design scheme with the lowest total cost is selected. The preset condition is that the total cost reaches the minimum value among all technical solutions. This allows for the evaluation of heat exchanger design schemes based on cost, resulting in a design with the lowest possible cost.

[0164] It should be noted that the total cost of the heat exchange equipment includes the total production cost and the total operating cost of the heat exchange equipment.

[0165] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in one implementation, the present invention also provides a method for optimizing the design of a heat exchanger.

Determine the total production cost of the heat exchange equipment based on the total heat exchange area; determine the total operating cost of the heat exchange equipment based on the pumping power; determine the total cost of the heat exchange equipment based on the total production cost and the total operating cost.

[0166] In this embodiment, the pressure loss of the heat exchange equipment is taken as a key factor affecting the total operating cost. The pressure loss is obtained in combination with the total heat exchange area. At the same time, the total production cost is obtained based on the total heat exchange area. This makes the total cost, which consists of the total operating cost and the total production cost, closely related to the technical solution determined by this method, thereby improving the accuracy of the total cost calculation and the matching degree with the actual working conditions.

[0185] In this embodiment, the total cost of the heat exchange equipment in each design scheme is determined through the above steps, thereby providing data support for the evaluation model.

[0186] To better illustrate the above embodiments of this application, the following examples are also provided for explanation: First, based on the design conditions of the heat exchange equipment, the key geometric design parameters and their allowable ranges that characterize the heat exchange equipment are selected and defined, including the outer diameter of the shell, the outer diameter of the heat exchange tubes, the baffle spacing, the baffle cutting length, the tube spacing, and the tube bundle arrangement. Based on the values ​​of shell outer diameter, heat exchange tube outer diameter, baffle spacing, baffle cutting length, tube spacing, and allowable range of tube bundle arrangement, a design scheme is selected.
