Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of CCUS, and in particular to a hot air circulation air cooler for a CCUS supercritical carbon dioxide compressor. Background Art
[0002] Carbon dioxide gas drive enhanced oil recovery technology is one of the effective measures for large-scale disposal of carbon dioxide, and has become the second largest technology for improving oil recovery. In recent years, with the widespread attention of countries to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology has emerged, marking a new stage in the carbon dioxide oil recovery technology combined with greenhouse gas storage. Compressors are required in the capture and pressurization, pipeline transportation, and injection links of the CCUS technology chain. For the gas injection compressor, the final exhaust pressure generally reaches more than 25MPa, and the carbon dioxide in the last two pressure states is in a supercritical state. When the temperature is lower than the critical temperature, carbon dioxide exists in the form of a supercritical liquid phase. The supercritical liquid phase carbon dioxide is very corrosive and will cause corrosion damage and failure of the pipeline; at the same time, in the critical point area, a small amount of temperature change will cause a large change in density, resulting in changes in the speed of sound and fluctuations in pulsation characteristics. Therefore, in order to prevent supercritical carbon dioxide from existing in the supercritical liquid phase and causing corrosion to the equipment, and at the same time avoid the impact of pulsation fluctuations on the stable operation of the compressor, it is very important to accurately control the cooling temperature of supercritical carbon dioxide. If it cannot be accurately controlled, the temperature of supercritical carbon dioxide will easily fall below the critical temperature after cooling, thus placing it in the supercritical liquid phase.
[0003] The applicant has found that the prior art has at least the following technical problems:
[0004] (1) The hot air circulation air cooler for CCUS supercritical carbon dioxide compressor in the prior art cannot accurately control the cooling temperature of supercritical carbon dioxide and cannot completely prevent supercritical carbon dioxide from existing in a supercritical liquid phase. There is a risk of corrosion damage and failure of equipment caused by supercritical carbon dioxide in a supercritical liquid phase.
[0005] (2) The hot air circulation air cooler used in the CCUS supercritical carbon dioxide compressor in the prior art cannot accurately control the cooling temperature of the supercritical carbon dioxide. In the critical point area, a small temperature change will cause a large change in density, resulting in a change in the speed of sound and fluctuations in the pulsation characteristics, which will in turn cause the compressor to be unable to operate stably.
