Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery, in particular to a system for recovering the sensible heat of carbide furnace gas for ORC power generation. Background Technique

[0002] Calcium carbide, also known as silicon carbide CaC2, is one of the basic raw materials of the chemical industry and is also called the mother of chemical raw materials. For every ton of calcium carbide produced, about 400 Nm3 of by-product gas is generated. The main components of the gas are CO and H2. The gas is a high-temperature gas, generally at a temperature of 400-600 °C, and the dust content is generally 100 g / m3. Usually, a multi-stage surface air cooler is used to reduce the temperature of the high-temperature gas to below 200 °C before entering the bag filter. The surface air cooler is placed in the atmospheric environment, which is equivalent to dissipating the sensible heat of the high-temperature gas into the atmospheric environment, resulting in a great waste of energy. A heat pipe waste heat boiler is composed of several special heat pipe elements. The heating section of the heat pipe is placed in the waste gas duct, and the hot air sweeps across the heating section of the heat pipe. The heat release section of the heat pipe element is inserted into the water-steam system. Due to the existence of the heat pipe, the heating and circulation of the water-steam system are completely separated from the heat source and exist independently outside the waste gas duct. The water-steam system is not directly scoured by the hot fluid, so the heat release section of the heat pipe element is not easily damaged.

[0003] Existing carbide furnace gas waste heat recovery, such as the carbide furnace tail gas waste heat boiler with the application number 201320793752.9, uses a waste heat boiler to produce low-pressure saturated steam; the carbide furnace flue gas waste heat utilization system with the application number 201320789699.5 uses a heat pipe heat exchanger to produce steam for steam turbine power generation; a carbide furnace flue gas purification and waste heat recovery integrated treatment system with the application number 202221608402.6 uses a series of equipment such as a rising cooling flue, a falling cooling flue, an evaporator, and a water preheater to reduce the flue gas temperature to 50-80 °C; a heat pipe heat exchanger with the application number 201320797482.9 uses an inner and outer sleeve structure, with water flowing through the inner cylinder and gas flowing through the jacket between the inner and outer cylinders, which can be used to recover the waste heat of carbide furnace tail gas, etc., and all can recover waste heat, but the effect of waste heat recovery and utilization is not ideal, and the waste heat cannot be fully utilized reasonably.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , a system for recovering the sensible heat of carbide furnace gas for ORC power generation, including a carbide furnace gas waste heat recovery system and an ORC organic Rankine cycle power generation system; the carbide furnace gas waste heat recovery system includes a carbide furnace 1, a first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2, a steam drum 3, a dust collector 4, a second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5, a feed water pump 6, a water tank 7, and a condensate pump 8;

[0023] The gas outlet end of the calcium carbide furnace 1 is connected to the gas-side inlet end of the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2 through a pipeline. The gas-side outlet end of the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2 is connected to the input end of the pipeline dust collector 4. The output end of the dust collector 4 is connected to the gas-side inlet end of the second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5 through a pipeline. The gas generated by the calcium carbide furnace 1 flows through the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2, the dust collector 4, and the second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5 in sequence through the pipeline.

[0024] The ORC organic Rankine cycle power generation system includes an evaporator 9. The output end of the steam-water side of the evaporator 9 is connected to the input end of the condensate pump 8 through a pipeline. The output end of the condensate pump 8 is connected to the top input end of the water tank 7 through a pipeline. The bottom output end of the water tank 7 is connected to the input end of the feed water pump 6 through a pipeline. The output end of the feed water pump 6 is connected to the steam-water side input end of the second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5 through a pipeline. The steam-water side output end of the second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5 is connected to the input end of the steam drum 3 through a pipeline. The output end of the steam drum 3 is connected to the steam-water side input end of the evaporator 9 through a pipeline. The steam-water side of the evaporator 9, the condensate pump 8, the water tank 7, the feed water pump 6, the steam-water side of the second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5, and the steam drum 3 form a closed cycle, and the water vapor forms a closed cycle. The water / water vapor flows through the above-mentioned equipment in sequence.

[0025] The downcomer at the bottom of the steam drum 3 is connected to the steam-water side input end of the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2. The riser at the top of the steam drum 3 is connected to the steam-water side output end of the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2. The steam-water side of the steam drum 3 and the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2 form a closed cycle through the downcomer and the riser.

[0026] The output end of the organic working fluid side of the evaporator 9 is connected to the inlet of the expander 10. The outlet of the expander 10 is connected to one end of the condenser 12. The other end of the condenser 12 is connected to the input end of the working fluid pump 13. The output end of the working fluid pump 13 is connected to the organic working fluid side input end of the evaporator 9.

[0027] The output shaft of the expander 10 is connected to the drive shaft of the generator 11. The output end of the generator 11 is connected to the power grid.

[0028] The waste heat in the tail gas generated by the calcium carbide furnace 1 conveniently heats the water flowing out of the water tank 7 into water vapor, which is transmitted to the evaporator 9 to heat the organic working fluid of the evaporator 9. After heating, the water vapor condenses into water and flows back to the water tank 7. After heating, the organic working fluid enters the expander 10, and electricity is generated through the coordinated work of the expander 10 and the generator 11, and then the electricity is transmitted to the power grid. The temperature of the organic working fluid passing through the expander 10 will decrease, and the temperature of the organic working fluid is further reduced through the condenser 12 and then flows back to the evaporator 9 for recycling.

[0029] The heat pipes in the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2 and the second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5 are finned heat pipes; due to the scouring of the gas, local damage occurs in the heated section of the heat pipes in the heat pipe waste heat boiler, which does not affect the normal operation of the system and can be repaired or replaced during the major overhaul.

[0030] The bottoms of the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2 and the second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5 are provided with funnel-shaped ash hoppers for the settlement of dust; the valves below the ash hoppers can be opened regularly to remove the dust, or a compressed air pipeline can be set up to convey the dust away. The gas contains dust, which may adhere to the outer surface of the heat pipes, so it is necessary to clean the ash regularly, such as using a shock wave ash cleaner.

[0031] The temperature of the gas generated from the calcium carbide furnace 1 is about 400 - 600 °C. After entering the first heat pipe waste heat boiler 2, the temperature drops to about 200 °C, then after entering the dust removal equipment 4, the temperature decreases somewhat, and after entering the second heat pipe waste heat boiler 5, the temperature can drop to about 110 °C.

[0032] The heat transfer medium used in the organic Rankine cycle process is an organic working fluid. Controlling the temperature of the steam produced at the outlet of the steam drum 3 at 120 - 150 °C can effectively prevent the chemical decomposition of the organic working fluid. The ORC organic Rankine cycle power generation technology can recover and utilize medium and low temperature waste heat resources for power generation, converting low-grade heat energy into high-grade electrical energy, which is an effective technical path for recovering medium and low temperature waste heat resources. Therefore, adopting the heat pipe waste heat boiler + ORC organic Rankine cycle power generation technology to recover the sensible heat of the calcium carbide furnace gas is an effective way to improve energy utilization efficiency, save energy and reduce pollutant emissions.

[0033] The utility model can, on the basis of not changing the existing production process, connect the evaporator of the calcium carbide furnace gas waste heat recovery system in parallel with the ORC organic Rankine cycle power generation system. The sensible heat of the calcium carbide furnace gas is collected by the heat pipe waste heat boiler to generate saturated steam, and then converted into high-quality electrical energy through the ORC organic Rankine cycle power generation technology. Through the calcium carbide furnace gas waste heat recovery system and the ORC power generation system, the sensible heat of the calcium carbide furnace gas is recovered from about 600 °C to about 120 °C, achieving energy conservation and emission reduction, which is beneficial to stabilizing the gas temperature at the inlet of the subsequent dust collector. Using the heat pipe waste heat boiler greatly avoids the influence of the damaged heated section of the heat pipe caused by gas scouring on the stable operation of the system; the system has a reasonable process design, is easy to implement and is beneficial to production.
