Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the large-scale access to the grid of new energy sources, the power grid has put forward more and more stringent load regulation requirements for thermal power plants. The configuration of molten salt heat storage systems in thermal power plants has become one of the options for improving flexibility. The molten salt heat storage system generally includes a heat storage heat exchanger, a molten salt storage tank, and an evaporation system. The heat storage heat exchanger is used to heat the molten salt with steam, the molten salt storage tank is used to store cold and hot molten salt, and the evaporation system is used to release the heat stored in the molten salt to generate steam. The heat storage heat exchanger generally includes several heat exchangers to adapt to the heat exchange of superheated steam, saturated steam, and supercooled water. Since the molten salt used for heat storage in thermal power plants is mostly ternary molten salt, when the temperature reaches 450°C, the molten salt is easy to decompose. Conventional evaporation systems often include equipment such as preheaters, evaporators, steam drums, superheaters, and auxiliary equipment such as external circulation pumps for providing power during preheating and electric heaters for providing heat during preheating. The system structure is complex. The external circulation pump must have a cavitation margin, so the evaporator needs to be arranged at a high position, and the steam drum needs to be higher than the evaporator by a certain height. The platform construction cost is high and the operation and maintenance are inconvenient. The external circulation pump and the start-up electric heater consume electrical energy when running, making the system inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1This embodiment provides a combined evaporator 4, including a shell 41 and a superheating section cylinder 46 arranged in the shell 41. The shell 41 has gas phase space and liquid phase space distributed up and down. The gas phase space is provided with a preheating tube bundle 42, and the liquid phase space is provided with an evaporation tube bundle 43 for heating feed water. The superheating section cylinder 46 is provided with a superheating tube bundle 44, and the liquid phase space is also provided with a steam injection pipe 45 for preheating feed water. The steam injection pipe 45 is connected to steam from a boiler or a steam turbine, and the steam injection pipe 45 is provided with a plurality of steam injection holes. The gas phase space in the evaporator is provided with a preheating tube bundle 42, and the steam outlet cylinder is provided with a superheating tube bundle 44, so that feed water preheating, evaporation, and superheating are achieved in one device.

[0024] When the combined evaporator 4 is in use, water is injected into the shell 41 to the rated water level through the water inlet, and the water needs to submerge the entire evaporation tube bundle 43. The steam from the boiler or turbine is passed into the steam injection pipe 45, and the steam is sprayed into the liquid phase space in the shell 41 through the various steam injection holes of the steam injection pipe 45, mixed with water and heated water, so as to realize the preheating of the evaporator. When the preheating temperature reaches the specified salt inlet temperature, a high-temperature molten salt from the high-temperature molten salt tank 3 enters the superheating tube bundle 44 with a small flow rate to realize the superheating of saturated steam, and then flows out of the superheating tube bundle 44, and then merges into the evaporation tube bundle 43. Another high-temperature molten salt directly enters the evaporation tube bundle 43, and after heat exchange with water, it flows out of the shell 41 to the low-temperature molten salt tank 2. After the evaporator enters the salt, the water passes through the preheating tube bundle 42, exchanges heat with the steam in the gas phase space, and then enters the lower liquid phase space. When the evaporator reaches the preheating temperature, molten salt is introduced into the evaporator, and the amount of molten salt entering the superheated tube bundle 44 is adjusted by the regulating valve, the external steam flow rate and the molten salt flow rate are adjusted, and the feed water flow rate of the evaporator is adjusted to start the evaporator. The saturated steam in the gas phase space exchanges heat with the molten salt in the superheated tube bundle 44 and is heated into superheated steam, which is then sent to the user through the steam outlet.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1This embodiment provides a heat storage heating system, which includes a heat storage heat exchanger 1, a low-temperature molten salt tank 2, a high-temperature molten salt tank 3 and a combined evaporator 4 as in Example 1. The heat storage heat exchanger 1 is a vertical multi-stream wound tube heat exchanger, which can be used in the existing way. The tube bundles in the vertical multi-stream wound tube heat exchanger are divided into 2 to 4 groups, which can realize the heat exchange between steam with different parameters on the tube side and molten salt on the shell side. The vertical multi-stream wound tube heat exchanger has a boiler steam interface and a turbine steam interface. The molten salt outlet of the heat storage heat exchanger 1 is connected to the molten salt inlet of the high-temperature molten salt tank 3, and the molten salt outlet of the high-temperature molten salt tank 3 is connected to the molten salt inlet of the evaporation tube bundle 43 of the combined evaporator 4. The molten salt outlet of the evaporation tube bundle 43 of the combined evaporator 4 is connected to the molten salt inlet of the low-temperature molten salt tank 2, and the molten salt outlet of the low-temperature molten salt tank 2 is connected to the molten salt inlet of the heat storage heat exchanger 1. Steam flows from top to bottom in the tube bundle of the vertical multi-stream wound tube heat exchanger, and molten salt flows from bottom to top on the shell side of the vertical multi-stream wound tube heat exchanger. The heat storage heat exchanger 1 uses the main steam from the boiler and the turbine extraction steam with different parameters to exchange heat with the low-temperature molten salt from the cold low-temperature molten salt storage tank. The molten salt is heated and goes to the high-temperature molten salt storage tank. The main steam is condensed after heat exchange and goes to the turbine heat recovery system. The turbine extraction steam is heat exchanged and goes to the boiler reheater or the turbine heat recovery system.

[0027] It should be noted that, in the existing thermal power plant equipped with a molten salt heat storage system, under low load conditions, the area margin of the heat storage heat exchanger 1 is large and the temperature of the steam is high, which easily leads to over-temperature decomposition of the molten salt. In this embodiment, the main steam and the steam extraction steam of the steam turbine are used to exchange heat with the molten salt at the same time. When the load is low, the area margin of the heat storage heat exchanger 1 is reduced by reducing the steam flow extracted from the intermediate pressure cylinder of the steam turbine, thereby avoiding over-temperature of the molten salt.

[0028] In this embodiment, the pipeline between the high-temperature molten salt tank 3 and the evaporation tube bundle 43 is provided with a first branch pipeline and a second branch pipeline, the first branch pipeline is connected to the molten salt inlet of the superheated tube bundle 44, the molten salt outlet of the superheated tube bundle 44 is connected to the molten salt inlet of the evaporation tube bundle 43, and the second branch pipeline is connected to the molten salt inlet of the evaporation tube bundle 43, so that the high-temperature molten salt flowing out of the high-temperature molten salt tank 3 can be divided into two paths, one path of high-temperature molten salt enters the superheated tube bundle 44 at a small flow rate from the high-temperature molten salt tank 3 to achieve superheating of saturated steam, then flows out of the superheated tube bundle 44, and then merges into the evaporation tube bundle 43. The other path of high-temperature molten salt directly enters the evaporation tube bundle 43, and flows out of the shell 41 to the low-temperature molten salt tank 2 after heat exchange with water.

[0029] It should be noted that, since the evaporator has a large volume and a certain heat storage capacity, when the thermal power unit needs to store heat, part of the steam can be passed into the steam injection pipe 45 to heat the feed water in the evaporator for heat storage, which also serves as a preheating device.

[0030] The utility model sets a steam injection pipe 45 for preheating feed water in the combined evaporator 4. In the heat storage stage, steam can be introduced into the liquid phase space through the steam injection pipe 45 to achieve preheating of the combined evaporator 4. Compared with the prior art, the heating system does not need to be provided with a start-up electric heater and a start-up circulation pump, and the evaporator does not need to be arranged at a high position, which simplifies the system structure and reduces the construction cost. In addition, the combined evaporator 4 of the utility model has a certain heat storage function and has the ability to provide saturated steam to the outside without adding molten salt, so that the heating system has a rapid response capability.

[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
