[0002] The combustion of fossil fuels, particularly in internal combustion engines, generates nitrogen oxides and their derivatives from nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, which have serious environmental and health impacts. Environmentally, nitrogen oxides have a high global warming potential and react with organic compounds to form photochemical smog. They also contribute to atmospheric ozone and secondary aerosols, increasing particulate matter emissions. High concentrations of nitrogen oxides are toxic to humans. Current technical approaches to reducing nitrogen oxide emissions include enhancing fuel-air mixing, modifying mechanical components, controlling ignition timing, and controlling the fuel-air mixture ratio. In recent years, research on reducing the environmental and human health impacts of nitrogen oxides emitted by internal combustion engines has attracted considerable attention.
[0003] The main reason for the above problems is that internal combustion engines usually use air as a combustion aid, which causes nitrogen and oxygen in the air to produce nitrogen oxides and their derivatives. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a combustion system that can effectively reduce the production of nitrogen oxides. Utility Model Content

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one embodiment provides a natural gas zero-carbon and nitrogen-free combustion system, comprising: a photovoltaic power generation device 1, a water electrolysis device 2 and a combustion device; the photovoltaic power generation device 1 is connected to the water electrolysis device 2 to transmit electrical energy to the water electrolysis device 2; the water electrolysis device 2 is connected to the combustion device to transport pure oxygen produced by hydrolysis to the combustion device; wherein the combustion device comprises: an internal combustion engine 3 and a natural gas supply mechanism (not shown in the figure); the natural gas supply mechanism is connected to the internal combustion engine 3 through a pipeline; and the internal combustion engine 3 is suitable for receiving natural gas and pure oxygen, and mixing the two and then burning them to generate electricity.
[0019] In some embodiments, the water electrolysis device 2 is powered by a photovoltaic power generation device 1, thereby generating pure oxygen, and then generating high-purity carbon dioxide flue gas during the pure oxygen combustion process. The combustion device is conducive to efficient carbon dioxide capture and treatment, thereby significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the use of photovoltaic power generation and water electrolysis fully utilizes renewable energy and oxygen resources to achieve a cleaner and more efficient combustion process.
[0020] In some embodiments, the capture mechanism 6 includes but is not limited to a flue gas pretreatment system, a packed absorption tower, a packed regeneration tower, an exhaust gas washing system, a solution boiler, an amine recovery heater, a product gas treatment system, and a system water balance maintenance system to fully capture and utilize carbon dioxide and steam in the flue gas.
[0021] As an optional embodiment, the capture mechanism 6 is disposed at the flue gas outlet of the internal combustion engine 3 and is connected to the gas supply line to collect carbon dioxide and steam from the flue gas and deliver them to the gas supply line for combustion in the internal combustion engine 3 along with pure oxygen. Furthermore, pure oxygen and carbon dioxide, replacing air as combustion aids, can minimize nitrogen oxides produced by combustion. Furthermore, carbon dioxide has a greater work capacity than nitrogen, thereby improving the system's power generation efficiency.
[0022] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic power generation device 1 and the water electrolysis device 2 include but are not limited to using a voltage converter and / or a voltage-current converter to adjust the voltage and current, so that the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic power generation device 1 is transmitted to the power supply of the water electrolysis device 2 via a power line.
[0023] In some embodiments, the water electrolysis device 2 includes: an electrolytic cell and a gas supply pipeline 21 and a hydrogen delivery pipe 22; the electrolytic cell is suitable for containing electrolyzed water; the gas supply pipeline 21 is suitable for delivering pure oxygen generated by electrolysis to the internal combustion engine 3; the hydrogen delivery pipe 22 is suitable for delivering the hydrogen generated by electrolysis to a hydrogen storage mechanism for storage.

[0026] In some embodiments, the primary component of the flue gas during pure oxygen combustion of natural gas is carbon dioxide, rather than nitrogen as in conventional systems. This results in differences in combustion temperature, pressure, and performance across the entire system. Therefore, the addition of high-temperature materials, thermal barrier coatings, high-efficiency cooling, and a laser ignition system to internal combustion engine 3 improves its performance. Furthermore, the inclusion of a multi-pass heat exchanger in the pure oxygen combustion cycle can further enhance engine 3's performance.
