Description

[0002] A combined cycle gas-steam system can fully utilize the energy of natural gas. This system consists of major equipment such as a gas turbine, waste heat boiler, steam turbine, condenser, and generator. The waste heat boiler can be further divided into dual-pressure and triple-pressure waste heat boilers.

[0003] For dual-pressure waste heat boilers, the flue gas temperature is generally high, mostly exceeding 90℃, and some even reaching 130℃. However, the flue gas temperature of advanced triple-pressure waste heat boilers can be reduced to 70℃. Therefore, dual-pressure waste heat boilers have a large flue gas heat loss and there is still room for further reduction.

[0004] However, due to the use of a dual-pressure waste heat boiler, the feedwater flow rate of the waste heat boiler is limited in order to ensure that both high-pressure and low-pressure water can be fully vaporized. This results in the normal feedwater not being able to fully absorb the waste heat of the flue gas, thus causing the exhaust gas temperature to be high. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a waste heat recovery device for a combined gas-steam system, comprising:

[0028] Gas turbine, first generator, waste heat boiler, circulating pump, first condenser, second generator, chimney, low-pressure steam drum 1, first heat exchanger 2, turbine 3, second condenser 4, third generator 5, pressurization pump 6, first valve 7, second valve 8, and second heat exchanger 9.

[0029] The first generator is connected to the gas turbine, and the other end of the gas turbine is connected to the waste heat boiler. The waste heat boiler is connected to the circulating pump, the steam turbine, and the second heat exchanger 9 via the low-pressure steam drum 1 at the upper end of the waste heat boiler. The low-pressure steam drum 1 is a component of the waste heat boiler. The other end of the second heat exchanger 9 is connected to the chimney. The steam turbine is connected to the second generator and one end of the first condenser. The other end of the first condenser is connected to the circulating pump. The low-pressure steam drum 1 is connected to the first heat exchanger 2 via the first valve 7. The first heat exchanger 2 is connected to the booster pump 6 and the turbine 3. The first heat exchanger 2 is also connected to the circulating pump via the second valve 8. The turbine 3 is connected to the third generator 5 and the second condenser 4. The second condenser 4 is connected to the booster pump 6.

[0030] In this embodiment, the gas turbine, the first generator, the waste heat boiler, the circulating pump, the first condenser, the second generator, the chimney, and the low-pressure steam drum 1 are the original equipment of the gas-steam combined cycle system. The first heat exchanger 2, the turbine 3, the second condenser 4, the third generator 5, the booster pump 6, the first valve 7, the second valve 8, and the second heat exchanger 9 are additional components added to the existing equipment to further utilize the exhaust waste heat of the waste heat boiler for power generation and improve the unit efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fuel for the gas turbine includes natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, coalbed methane, and biomass gas.

[0032] Specifically, in this device, the first generator is connected to the gas turbine, and the other end of the gas turbine is connected to the waste heat boiler. The waste heat boiler is connected to the low-pressure steam drum 1, the circulating pump, and the chimney. The low-pressure steam drum 1 is connected to the first heat exchanger 2 via the first valve 7. The first heat exchanger 2 is connected to the booster pump 6 and the turbine 3. The first heat exchanger 2 is also connected to the circulating pump via the second valve 8. The turbine 3 is connected to the third generator 5 and the second condenser 4. The second condenser 4 is connected to the booster pump 6.

[0033] Pipelines are installed on the low-pressure steam drum 1 of the waste heat boiler. The pipelines are connected to the first heat exchanger 2. The first heat exchanger 2 is also connected to the turbine 3, the pressurization pump 6 and the inlet of the circulating pump. The outlet of the turbine 3 is connected to the second condenser 4. The second condenser 4 is also connected to the pressurization pump 6. The turbine 3 is connected to the third generator 5.

[0034] When the device is in operation:

[0035] For the existing equipment, natural gas operates within a gas turbine, powering a first generator. The hot flue gas from the gas turbine enters a waste heat boiler to produce steam. This steam then enters a steam turbine, expands, and drives a second generator. The exhaust steam from the waste heat boiler is discharged into the low-pressure steam drum 1. The exhaust steam from the steam turbine enters the first condenser and condenses into water. This water is pressurized by a circulating pump and heated by the second heat exchanger 9 before returning to the waste heat boiler to generate steam, which in turn drives the steam turbine to generate electricity. The entire gas turbine, waste heat boiler, and steam turbine system form a combined gas-steam power cycle, achieving full utilization of natural gas energy.

[0036] For the newly added equipment, a pipe is installed on the low-pressure steam drum 1 of the dual-pressure waste heat boiler to draw some of the saturated water from the steam drum into the first heat exchanger 2. In the first heat exchanger 2, heat is released, and the water becomes room temperature water. Then, after being depressurized by the second valve 8, it is discharged into the inlet of the circulating pump 7. Pressurized by the circulating pump, it re-enters the waste heat boiler to absorb heat. Simultaneously, a low-boiling-point working fluid, such as Freon, is pressurized by the booster pump 6 and enters the first heat exchanger 2 to absorb the heat released by the saturated water and vaporize. The vaporized steam then enters the turbine 3 to expand and do work. The exhaust steam is discharged into the second condenser 4, releases heat, condenses into liquid, and is pressurized again by the booster pump 6 before entering the first heat exchanger 2 to absorb heat, forming a low-temperature thermodynamic cycle. The turbine 3 drives the third generator 5 to generate electricity, thus achieving the purpose of utilizing the waste heat of the flue gas. When the first heat exchanger 2, turbine 3, second condenser 4, third generator 5, or booster pump 6 malfunction or require maintenance, closing the first valve 7 and the second valve 8 will disconnect the waste heat power generation part from the system, thus not affecting the normal operation of the original combined power cycle system.

[0037] Specifically, the first valve 7 and the second valve 8 are automatic control valves.

[0038] Specifically, the third generator 5 is directly driven by the turbine 3.

[0039] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] This application adds a waste heat power generation system using a low-boiling-point circulating working fluid to the original gas-steam combined cycle system, which increases the water flow into the waste heat boiler, effectively reducing the flue gas temperature and realizing the deep utilization of flue gas waste heat.

[0041] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0042] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the device and its core ideas. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
