Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a gas power plant ignition gas storage device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the in-depth exploration and development of clean energy around the world, natural gas and its mixed gas with hydrogen (mixed hydrogen gas) are increasingly becoming the preferred fuel in the field of gas power generation due to their high heat output and relatively low carbon emission characteristics. In this field, gas turbines, as the core equipment of gas power generation systems, play a crucial role. However, the current process of starting and igniting gas turbines generally relies on directly diverting working gas, which is used to ignite the combustor inside the gas turbine.

[0003] Although this scheme meets the basic starting needs of the gas turbine to some extent, it also exposes a series of problems that need to be solved:

[0004] Firstly, the temperature of the working gas used in the ignition process lacks adjustability. In actual operation, the gas turbine may need to be ignited and started in low-temperature or high-temperature environments due to different operating conditions. However, the existing ignition scheme cannot flexibly adjust the temperature of the working gas according to actual needs, which undoubtedly limits the adaptability of the gas turbine under more extensive operating conditions.

[0005] Secondly, from the perspective of fuel characteristics, whether it is pure natural gas or natural gas mixed with hydrogen, the flammability of these two fuels will be significantly reduced under low-temperature and small-flow ignition conditions. This not only increases the risk of ignition failure, but also may cause safety hazards such as deflagration due to incomplete combustion of the fuel, thereby threatening the stable operation of the gas turbine. Therefore, the existing ignition scheme still needs to be improved in terms of fuel safety and reliability. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a gas power plant ignition gas storage device that can flexibly adjust the temperature of the working gas according to actual needs, while saving land area and reducing equipment cost.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present application is as follows: a gas power plant ignition gas storage device, comprising:

[0008] A vaporization gas storage tank is provided with a heating coil inside and is connected to the combustion chamber of the gas turbine. The heating coil is used to heat the liquid propane in the vaporization gas storage tank to vaporize it and form low-temperature gas that enters the combustion chamber of the gas turbine;

[0009] A tank car is connected to the vaporization gas storage tank and is used to store liquid propane and recover unused propane that has been vaporized;

[0010] A preheater is connected with the heating coil through a stop valve, and is used for heating the circulating water in the heating coil;

[0011] A superheater is connected with the gasification storage tank, the preheater and the combustion chamber of the gas turbine through stop valves respectively, and the water heated by the preheater circulates in the shell side of the superheater, so that the low-temperature gas is heated again to form high-temperature gas which enters the combustion chamber of the gas turbine.

[0012] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the preheater is connected with the water inlet end of the heating coil through the first preheater stop valve, the first circulating pump and the first gasification storage tank stop valve, and the water outlet end of the heating coil is connected back to the preheater through the second gasification storage tank stop valve and the second preheater stop valve.

[0013] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the gasification storage tank is connected with the superheater through the gasification storage tank ball valve and the first superheater ball valve.

[0014] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the gasification storage tank is connected with the combustion chamber of the gas turbine through the gasification storage tank ball valve and the second superheater ball valve.

[0015] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the preheater is connected with the water inlet end of the superheater through the third preheater stop valve, the second circulating pump and the first superheater stop valve, and the water outlet end of the superheater is connected back to the preheater through the second superheater stop valve and the fourth preheater stop valve.

[0016] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the superheater is connected with the combustion chamber of the gas turbine through the third superheater ball valve.

[0017] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the inlet of the gasification storage tank is connected with the tank car through the liquid inlet stop valve, and the outlet of the gasification storage tank is connected back to the tank car through the liquid outlet stop valve.

[0018] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the gasification storage tank is provided with the first temperature transmitter for monitoring the temperature change in the storage tank.

[0019] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the preheater is provided with the electric heater and the second temperature transmitter, the second temperature transmitter is used for monitoring the temperature change in the preheater, and timely feedback signals to the electric heater, so as to timely adjust the power of the electric heater, thereby controlling the hot water temperature in the preheater.

[0020] As an optimal scheme of the utility model, the shell side of the superheater is provided with the air release port for discharging the air in the hot water.

[0021] The present invention achieves the following technical effects by adopting the above technical solutions: the present invention uses propane as ignition fuel, which has good combustibility, and the high-temperature gas and low-temperature gas can meet the ignition requirements under different working conditions.

[0022] To further optimize the design, the traditional propane storage tank was eliminated, and propane liquefaction tank trucks were used to directly transport fuel. This design not only saves floor space but also reduces equipment costs. Simultaneously, the ignition supply system with separate working gas lines in the original gas turbine configuration was eliminated, simplifying the structure and improving operating efficiency. The overall design is more compact, economical, and easier to maintain and operate. Attached Figure Description
