In various industrial production processes, especially in the operation of coal-fired and gas-fired boilers, gas turbines and other combustion equipment, a large amount of high-temperature flue gas will be generated. These flue gases carry a large amount of heat energy during the emission process. If they are not recycled, it will cause serious energy waste. Therefore, high-temperature flue gas waste heat recovery technology has emerged as the times require, becoming an important means to improve energy utilization efficiency and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction.

Although the water steam Rankine cycle power generation technology has improved the utilization rate of high-temperature flue gas waste heat to a certain extent, due to the high boiling point and low specific heat capacity of water, its heat exchange efficiency under high temperature conditions is still limited, resulting in the exhaust flue gas still having a high temperature, which has caused energy waste to a certain extent.

[0024] The utility model is specifically introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] This embodiment provides a water steam-organic Rankine cascade cycle cascade power generation device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a water vapor Rankine cycle power generation system, an organic Rankine cycle power generation system and a working medium cooling system; and the water vapor Rankine cycle power generation system and the organic Rankine cycle power generation system both include a heat exchanger 5 for condensing water vapor using an organic working medium, and the organic Rankine cycle power generation system and the working medium cooling system both include a condenser 11 for cooling the organic working medium vapor. The working medium cooling system includes a cooling tower 13 and a pump 14, and the cooling water outlet of the cooling tower 13 is returned to the water inlet of the cooling tower 13 through the pump 14 and the water phase channel of the condenser 11.
[0026] The water vapor Rankine cycle power generation system comprises a condensate tank 1, a water pump 2, a waste heat boiler 3, a first heat-to-power conversion device 4 (steam turbine), the above-mentioned heat exchanger 5 and a first generator 6. The water vapor outlet of the waste heat boiler 3 is connected to the water vapor inlet of the waste heat boiler 3 through the first heat-to-power conversion device 4, the water phase channel of the heat exchanger 5 and the condensate tank 1 in sequence; and the first heat-to-power conversion device 4 is connected to the first generator 6.
[0027] Specifically, the water pump 2 pumps the water in the condensate tank 1 to the water phase inlet of the waste heat boiler 3. The high-temperature flue gas (350-380°C) passes through the waste heat boiler 3 to heat the water in the water phase pipeline, thereby generating high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor and entering the first heat-to-power conversion device 4. The water vapor drives the first heat-to-power conversion device 4 to do work and drives the first generator 6 connected thereto to generate electricity. The water vapor (exhaust steam) after doing work enters the heat exchanger 9 to exchange heat with the low-temperature organic working medium (the boiling point is lower than that of water), and then condenses and is directed to the condensate tank 1 for storage. The water pump 2 continues to pump the cooling water in the condensate tank 1 into the water phase channel of the waste heat boiler 3 to absorb heat and vaporize again, thereby realizing water vapor Rankine cycle power generation.
[0028] The organic Rankine cycle power generation system includes a condensing medium tank 7, a medium pump 8, the above-mentioned heat exchanger 5, a heat exchanger 9, a second heat-to-power conversion device 10 (turbine expander), the above-mentioned condenser 11 and a second generator 12. The organic medium vapor outlet of the heat exchanger 9 is connected to the organic medium inlet of the heat exchanger 9 through the second heat-to-power conversion device 10 (turbine expander), the medium channel of the condenser 11 for cooling the organic medium, the condensing medium tank 7, and the medium channel of the heat exchanger 5 in sequence; and the second heat-to-power conversion device 10 is connected to the second generator 12.
[0029] Specifically, the working fluid pump 8 pumps the low-temperature organic working fluid in the condensing working fluid box 7 into the working fluid channel in the heat exchanger 5, and then exchanges heat with the water vapor (exhaust steam) in the water phase channel to realize the condensation of the water vapor (exhaust steam); the organic working fluid after heat exchange further enters the working fluid channel of the heat exchanger 9, and the high-temperature flue gas is reduced to 200-250°C (medium-temperature flue gas) after heat exchange with the water in the water phase channel through the waste heat boiler 3. This part of the flue gas is introduced into the flue gas channel of the heat exchanger 9 through a pipeline, and then the organic working fluid in the working fluid channel can be heated and vaporized. The generated organic working fluid steam enters the second thermal power conversion device 10 and drives the second thermal power conversion device 10 to do work to drive the second generator 12 connected thereto to generate electricity. The low-temperature flue gas after heat exchange is discharged from the heat exchanger 9 and discharged after treatment. The organic working fluid vapor (exhaust steam) after work enters the working fluid channel of the cooler, exchanges heat with the cooling water pumped into the water phase channel of the condenser 11 by the machine pump 14, and then condenses and flows into the condensation working fluid tank 7 for storage. The cooling water in the water phase channel of the condenser 11 enters the cooling tower 13 for cooling after absorbing heat. The working fluid pump 8 continues to pump the low-temperature organic working fluid in the condensation working fluid tank 7 into the working fluid channel of the heat exchanger 9 to condense the water vapor (exhaust steam) in the water phase channel of the heat exchanger 5, thereby realizing the cascade and circulation of the water vapor Rankine cycle power generation and the organic Rankine cycle power generation system, and achieving the cascade utilization of high-temperature flue gas.
[0030] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of fluid flow and effectively protect the pipeline and downstream equipment, flow regulating valves 15 are installed on the pipeline between the water pump 2 and the water vapor inlet of the waste heat boiler 3, on the pipeline between the working fluid pump 8 and the organic working fluid inlet of the heat exchanger 9, and on the pipeline between the machine pump 14 and the water phase channel inlet of the condenser 11, and pulsation dampers 16 are connected through branch pipes. In order to facilitate temperature monitoring, temperature detectors 17 are also installed on multiple pipelines of the power generation device.
[0031] The above is only a preferred implementation of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model patent. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model patent.
