Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of waste heat power generation, in particular to an ORC power generation system based on a parameter-variable heat source. Background Art

[0002] In the steel and chemical industries, there are various heating furnaces and reactors. Heating furnaces and reactors generally discharge flue gas with a certain temperature, which contains a part of recoverable heat. Since the flue gas flow rate of heating furnaces and reactors is generally 40,000-70,000 NM 3 / h, with a temperature of around 350°C, and is generally used to generate low-parameter steam. Due to production adjustments in heating furnaces and reactors, steam flow and temperature fluctuate. Currently, some companies mainly use it for power generation in ORC power generation systems.

[0003] Because the reactor and heating furnace undergo production adjustments, the parameters of the steam produced by the waste heat boiler also change. In current ORC power generation systems, steam is directly fed into the evaporator to release heat, prompting the ORC organic working fluid to produce ORC steam, which then enters the organic working fluid generator set to perform work. Fluctuations in waste heat steam parameters can cause steam temperatures to exceed 200°C. Currently, organic working fluid power generation primarily uses pentafluoropropane, which has a decomposition temperature of 180°C. Decomposition of pentafluoropropane reduces the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator, leading some companies to vent steam into the air to protect the ORC power generation system. Therefore, how to deal with situations where steam temperatures exceed the decomposition temperature of pentafluoropropane and ensure safe and stable system operation is a concern for the organic working fluid power generation industry.

[0004] Based on this, the present application provides an ORC power generation system that can utilize low-temperature organic working fluid to cool superheated steam to ensure the safe operation of the system. Utility Model Content

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides an ORC power generation system based on a parameter-variable heat source, as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown, it includes a steam main pipe 1, a front heat exchanger 2, an evaporator 3, a preheater 4, an ORC turbine generator set 5, a condenser 6, a working fluid pump 7, a working fluid branch pipe 8, a first regulating valve 9, a second regulating valve 10 and a temperature measuring device 11, wherein:

[0024] The preheater 2, evaporator 3 and preheater 4 are sequentially arranged on the steam main pipe 1. The steam passes through the preheater 2 for preliminary heat release, then enters the evaporator 3 for condensation and heat release, and the condensed water enters the preheater 4 for further heat release, and finally enters the condensed water system;

[0025] The working fluid pump 7, preheater 4, evaporator 3, ORC turbine generator set 5, condenser 6, and working fluid pump 7 are connected to a closed loop via a working fluid main line. One end of a working fluid branch line 8 is connected to the working fluid outlet of the working fluid pump 7, and the other end is connected to the working fluid inlet of the evaporator 3 via the preheater 2. After being pressurized by the working fluid pump 7, the organic working fluid in the condenser 6 is split into two paths: one path enters the preheater 4 through the working fluid main line to absorb heat, and the other path enters the preheater 2 through the working fluid branch line 8 to absorb heat. After absorbing heat, the two paths of working fluid merge and enter the evaporator 3. After absorbing heat in the evaporator 3, the working fluid forms organic working fluid vapor at a certain temperature and pressure, which then enters the ORC turbine generator set 5 to perform work. After performing work, the organic working fluid vapor enters the condenser 6, where it releases heat and forms a liquid working fluid.

[0026] The first regulating valve 9 is located on the working medium branch pipe 8 at the working medium inlet end of the preheater 2 and is used to regulate the flow of the working medium entering the preheater. The second regulating valve 10 is located on the working medium main pipe at the working medium inlet end of the preheater 4 and is used to regulate the flow of the working medium entering the preheater. The temperature measuring device 11 is located at the steam outlet of the preheater 2 and is used to monitor the steam temperature entering the evaporator in real time and adjust the opening of the first regulating valve based on the measured steam temperature. During specific control, when the temperature measuring device detects that the steam temperature exceeds the decomposition temperature of the organic working medium, the opening of the first regulating valve is increased and the opening of the second regulating valve is decreased, thereby increasing the flow of the organic working medium to the preheater and reducing the steam temperature. When the temperature measuring device detects that the steam temperature does not exceed the decomposition temperature of the organic working medium, the first regulating valve is decreased or closed, allowing the organic working medium to flow through the working medium main pipe. The opening of the second regulating valve is determined by the load of the ORC turbine generator set.

[0027] The operation and control of the above facilities are all completed automatically by the host computer in the control room.

[0028] Preferably, a working fluid circulation pipe 12 is provided between the condenser 6 and the working fluid outlet of the working fluid pump 7, and a circulation regulating valve 13 is provided on the working fluid circulation pipe 12. The working fluid circulation pipe and the regulating valve thereon can ensure the minimum flow rate of the working fluid pump when the ORC generator set is under low load.

[0029] Preferably, the steam main pipe 1 is further provided with a steam export pipe 14, a pressure measuring device 15, and a steam flow meter 16, in sequence, at the steam inlet end of the front heat exchanger 2. The steam export pipe is also provided with a export regulating valve 17. This design enables the use of the pressure measuring device and steam flow meter to monitor the pipeline pressure and steam flow of the steam main pipe in real time. When the pipeline pressure or steam flow is excessive or the ORC generator set fails, steam can be delivered to other users through the steam export regulating valve.

[0030] Preferably, a second temperature measuring device 18 is further provided on the steam main pipe 1 at the steam inlet end of the front heat exchanger 2, which can detect the initial temperature of the steam entering the system, and cooperate with the pressure measuring device and the steam flow meter to realize real-time measurement of the flow, pressure and temperature of the steam.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
