[0068] If no, the step S111 is continued.

[0069] (I) Related term definition

[0070] In the utility model, the constant temperature or near constant temperature operation refers to adjusting the temperature of the synthesis gas entering the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100, so that the temperature of the hydrogen carrier self-heating synthesis reaction device (the synthesis equipment body and the catalyst bed) is constant or approximately constant, and the characteristic is that the outlet synthesis gas temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 is constant or approximately constant.

[0071] The first target value refers to the required temperature value of the inlet synthesis gas of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 obtained from the synthesis gas flow and the inlet feed temperature curve of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 (such as Figure 4 ), which is a basic curve obtained by calculating the corresponding relationship between different synthesis gas flow and the inlet synthesis gas temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 through theoretical analysis, modeling and other processes of the hydrogen carrier compound synthesis process, and then through long-term accumulation, optimization and verification of actual operation data.

[0072] Second target value: the temperature required for the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 to run efficiently, safely and stably at a constant temperature or near constant temperature when the normal flow of synthesis gas or the flow of synthesis gas is higher than the first preset threshold value. The second target value can be obtained by the curve of the flow of synthesis gas and the inlet temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100.

[0073] First preset threshold value: in the case that the first adjusting valve 402 is closed, the opening of the second adjusting valve 403 is adjusted so that the flow of synthesis gas is the lowest (the first preset threshold value can be greater than or equal to the lowest flow value) when the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 runs at a constant temperature or near constant temperature. Under normal load, the initial value is obtained by the curve of the flow of synthesis gas and the inlet temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 when the inlet temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 does not change (in the actual calculation process, the inlet temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device changes correspondingly with the change of the flow of synthesis gas, and in the utility model, the inlet temperature is considered to be unchanged when the temperature difference is within 1 DEG C under 100% load operation, and the flow range corresponding to the temperature difference range will not be used in actual operation. The first adjusting valve 402 will not affect the normal operation of the device. ), and the optimal value is obtained through long-term accumulation, optimization and verification in the actual operation process.

[0074] Normal load operation: the flow of synthesis gas is higher than or equal to the first preset threshold value, and the inlet temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 does not change, so that the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 can run efficiently, safely and stably at a constant temperature or near constant temperature even if the flow of synthesis gas fluctuates.

[0075] Low load operation: the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 can also run at a constant temperature or near constant temperature under the condition that the flow of synthesis gas is lower than the first preset threshold value.

[0076] (II) The curve of the flow of synthesis gas and the inlet temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device

[0077] The hydrogen carrier compound preparation device in the utility model refers to a synthesis tower.

[0078] The utility model obtains the basic curve of the corresponding relationship between the flow of synthesis gas and the inlet temperature of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device 100 through the following theoretical analysis, modeling and calculation.

[0079] Firstly, the heat required for the synthesis gas of the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device (synthesis tower) to enter the shell of the synthesis tower and enter the catalyst frame, that is, the heat required for the synthesis gas to be heated to the activation temperature, is calculated according to the formula

[0080] ) ①,

[0081] wherein: Qsynth is the heat of the synthesis gas to be heated to the activation temperature of the catalyst,

[0082] Hsynth is the enthalpy of the synthesis gas entering the catalyst frame,

[0083] Hsynthshell is the enthalpy of the synthesis gas entering the shell of the synthesis tower,

[0084] msynth is the mass flow of the synthesis gas,

[0085] Cp,synth is the specific heat capacity of the synthesis gas entering the catalyst frame (calculated from the composition and temperature of the synthesis gas by consulting relevant thermodynamic data tables or empirical formulae),

[0086] Cp,synthshell is the specific heat capacity of the synthesis gas entering the shell of the synthesis tower,

[0087] Tsynthshell is the temperature of the synthesis gas entering the shell of the synthesis tower,

[0088] Tsynthframe is the temperature of the synthesis gas entering the catalyst frame.

[0089] Then, the heat of the catalyst frame outlet gas to be heated to the temperature of the outlet of the shell of the synthesis tower is calculated, and the calculation formula is

[0090] Qsynthshellframe = msynthframe x (Cp,synthframe - Cp,synthshellframe) x (Tsynthframe - Tsynthshellframe) ②,

[0091] wherein: Qsynthshellframe is the heat of the catalyst frame reaction gas to be heated to the temperature of the outlet of the synthesis tower,

[0092] Hsynthshellframe is the enthalpy of the reaction gas exiting the shell of the synthesis tower,

[0093] Hsynthframe is the enthalpy of the reaction gas at the temperature of the inlet gas entering the catalyst frame,

[0094] msynthframe is the mass flow of the reaction gas (assuming that the material loss in the reactor is not taken into account, it is equal to the mass flow of the synthesis gas),

[0095] Cp,synthshellframe is the specific heat capacity of the reaction gas exiting the shell of the synthesis tower,

[0096] Cp,synthframe is the specific heat capacity of the reaction gas at the temperature of the inlet gas entering the catalyst frame,

[0097] Tsynthshellframe is the temperature of the reaction gas exiting the shell of the synthesis tower,

[0098] The temperature of the reaction gas entering the catalyst frame is equal to the temperature of the synthesis gas entering the catalyst frame, i.e. The temperature of the reaction gas entering the catalyst frame is equal to the temperature of the synthesis gas entering the catalyst frame, i.e. .

[0099] Then, the heat loss of the synthesis tower to the surroundings is calculated, and the calculation formula is

[0100] ③,

[0101] In the formula: is the heat loss of the synthesis tower,

[0102] F is the heat dissipation area of the synthesis tower,

[0103] is the wall temperature of the synthesis tower,

[0104] is the ambient temperature,

[0105] is the heat transfer coefficient of the outer surface of the tower wall to the air,

[0106] is obtained from the empirical formula .

[0107] The calculation formula of the energy balance equation of the synthesis tower is

[0108] ④,

[0109] where is the heat of reaction.

[0110] Assuming that the bed temperature remains unchanged at different loads to maintain stable reaction (the bed temperature remaining unchanged means that the temperature in the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device (including the synthesis tower equipment body and the catalyst bed) is unchanged or approximately unchanged by adjusting the temperature of the synthesis tower inlet gas 101, and the characteristic is that the outlet reaction gas temperature of the device is unchanged or approximately unchanged), the heat loss of the synthesis tower at low load will be consistent with the heat loss at rated load, unchanged, unchanged.

[0111] The above formulas ①-④ can be used to calculate the corresponding synthesis gas inlet temperature of different synthesis gas mass flow rates , and a curve graph can be drawn according to the synthesis gas inlet flow rate (mass flow rate or volume flow rate) and the synthesis gas inlet temperature. The first preset threshold initial value, the first target value and the second target value of the reaction can be obtained from the curve graph.

[0112] (Three) Examples

[0113] Among the many hydrogen energy carriers, ammonia has a volume hydrogen content of up to 121 kg H2 / m 3 , which is 2.6 times that of methylcyclohexane (MCH, a typical liquid organic hydride). At the same time, the temperature and pressure conditions for storing liquid ammonia are much lower than those for storing liquid hydrogen. It can be liquefied at low pressure of about 0.8 MPa or at low temperature of -33℃ under normal pressure, and transported and stored. The embodiments of the present application provide a control method based on a key part of a hydrogen carrier self-heating synthesis system, taking green ammonia as an example:

[0114] Due to the instability of renewable energy, the production of raw hydrogen gas for green ammonia synthesis is unstable. The existing ammonia synthesis system control and method is generally based on stable operating control, which requires stable raw material sources and stable process operating parameters. The control method of the traditional Haber-Bosch process cannot achieve rapid and timely adjustment of the "load following source" with wide load fluctuations of the raw gas. For the process of using renewable energy to decompose water to produce green hydrogen, and then using green hydrogen as raw material to synthesize green ammonia, due to the instability of renewable energy, the production of raw hydrogen gas is unstable, and the synthesis of green ammonia is also unstable. If the adjustment and control process is improper, it will cause the synthesis of green ammonia to lose control, or the ammonia net value may decrease to zero, resulting in high operating costs, or the catalyst may be overburned and deactivated, and the device cannot operate. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a control method that can achieve flexible adjustment of the synthesis ammonia system under wide load to achieve "constant temperature" or "near constant temperature" timely, efficient, safe and stable operation of the synthesis ammonia reaction device under variable load.

[0115] As shown in Figure 2 , it comprises an ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000, a 1# heat exchanger 2000, a 2# heat exchanger 3000, a flow detection device 4000, a temperature detection device 4001, a first adjusting valve 4002, a second adjusting valve 4003, a synthesis gas inlet pipeline 1001, a synthesis gas outlet pipeline 1002, a controller 5000, and a reaction gas prepared by reacting the synthesis gas through the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000;

[0116] The ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000, the 1# heat exchanger 2000 and the 2# heat exchanger 3000 are connected in sequence by pipeline in the flow direction of the reaction gas, and the reaction gas is discharged after passing through the 2# heat exchanger 3000;

[0123] The control device 5000 is used to collect the temperature detection result of the temperature detection device 4001 and the flow detection result of the flow detection device 4000, and adjust the opening degree of the first regulating valve 4002 or / and the second regulating valve 4003 according to the temperature detection result of the temperature detection device 4001 and the flow detection result of the flow detection device 4000.

[0124] Specifically, the control method comprises the following steps:

[0125] S10: collecting, by the control device 5000, the temperature detection result of the temperature detection device 4001 and the flow detection result of the flow detection device 4000, and judging whether the flow detection result of the flow detection device 4000 is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold value,

[0126] S11A: if the flow detection result of the flow detection device 4000 is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value, closing the first regulating valve 4002 and adjusting the opening degree of the second regulating valve 4003 according to a second target temperature value;

[0127] S11B: if the flow detection result of the flow detection device 4000 is less than the first preset threshold value, setting, by the control device 5000, a first target temperature value for the inlet temperature of the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000 according to a syngas flow and ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000 inlet temperature curve, and adjusting the opening degree of the first regulating valve 4002 or / and the second regulating valve 4003 according to the first target value, so as to enable the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000 to be timely, efficient, safe and stable in "constant temperature" or "near constant temperature" operation;

[0128] The specific steps of step S11B are as follows:

[0129] S111: The second regulating valve 4003 adjusts its opening according to the first target value to increase the inlet synthesis gas temperature of the ammonia synthesis reaction unit 1000;

[0130] S112: Determine if the opening degree of the second regulating valve 4003 is 0;

[0131] S113: If so, the first regulating valve 4002 is activated to adjust the opening according to the first target value, so that the high-temperature reaction gas at the outlet of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 is diverted, and the inlet temperature of the synthesis gas in the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 is further increased, so that the ammonia synthesis reactor can operate in a timely, efficient, safe and stable "constant temperature" or "near constant temperature" manner.

[0132] If not, continue with step S111.

[0133] "Constant temperature" or "near constant temperature" operation, first target value, second target value, first preset threshold, normal load operation, low load operation—these terms have been annotated above and will not be repeated here. In Examples 1 and 2, the hydrogen carrier compound preparation device refers to the ammonia synthesis reaction device.

[0134] Example 1:

[0135] like Figures 2-4 As shown, when the 2wt / a ammonia synthesis unit is operating at normal load, the flow rate of synthesis gas (a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen in a 3:1 ratio) is 22410 Nm³. 3 / h (100% load), with an initial temperature of 140℃, the high-temperature reaction gas at the outlet of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 is 435℃. Heat is recovered through heat exchanger 2000. The synthesis gas is heated by utilizing the heat of the reaction gas through heat exchanger 3000. The second regulating valve 4003 is controlled to mix the synthesis gas that has not passed through heat exchanger 3000 and the synthesis gas that has passed through heat exchanger 3000. Furthermore, the inlet temperature of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 reaches the temperature required for the reaction when the synthesis gas flows at normal flow rate, which is 181℃. This enables the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 to operate in a timely, efficient, safe, and stable "constant temperature" or "near constant temperature" manner, with the load following the source.

[0136] S10: After the control device 5000 collects the flow detection result from the flow detection device 4000, it determines that the flow rate is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold of 19944.9 m. 3 / h (by Figure 4 The critical point where the temperature difference between the inlet temperature of the ammonia synthesis reactor at 89% full load flow and the temperature at 100% load flow is 1℃ is obtained. Through long-term data accumulation, optimization, and verification during actual operation, an optimal value is obtained, which is defined here as the first preset threshold.

[0137] S11A: Close the first regulating valve 4002, while the second regulating valve 4003 adjusts the opening degree according to the second target value 181℃ of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 inlet temperature, and maintains the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 inlet synthesis gas temperature at 181℃, so that the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 can run in time, high efficiency, safety and stability "constant temperature" or "near constant temperature";

[0138] Example two:

[0139] As shown in Figures 2-4 , when the 2wt / a synthetic ammonia production device is in low load production, the synthesis gas (hydrogen and nitrogen mixed at a ratio of 3 to 1) flow is 8964m 3 / h (40% load), the initial temperature is 140℃, and the reaction gas coming out of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 is also reduced, and the heat carried by the reaction gas is also reduced. At this time, the first regulating valve 4002 at the outlet of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 is opened, so that the high-temperature reaction gas at the outlet of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 is divided into two streams. One stream of high-temperature reaction gas passes through the 1# heat exchanger 2000 to reduce the temperature, and the other stream of high-temperature reaction gas passes through the first regulating valve 4002 without changing the temperature. The two streams of reaction gas are mixed at the inlet of the 2# heat exchanger 3000 to increase the inlet temperature of the 2# heat exchanger 3000, so that the inlet temperature of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 is further increased, so that the inlet temperature of the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 is 193.7℃ (see the synthesis gas flow and the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 inlet temperature corresponding temperature curve, the inlet temperature corresponding to 40% flow is 193.7℃), so that the ammonia synthesis reactor 1000 can run in time, high efficiency, safety and stability "constant temperature" or "near constant temperature".

[0140] S10: The control device 5000 collects the flow detection results of the flow detection device 4000, and judges that the flow is less than the first preset threshold value 19944.9Nm 3 / h (from Figure 4 the full load flow of 89% is the critical point of the temperature difference of 1℃ corresponding to the flow when running at 100% load, and the optimal value is obtained through long-term accumulation, optimization and verification in the actual running process, which is defined as the first preset threshold value);

[0141] If yes, continue to execute S111, which indicates that the flow rate of the synthesis gas at this time is lower than the first preset threshold value, and as the flow rate of the synthesis gas decreases, the reaction heat of the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000 also decreases, and the second regulating valve 4003 is adjusted according to the first target value 193.7℃ (see the synthesis gas flow rate and the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000 inlet temperature corresponding temperature curve, and the inlet temperature corresponding to the 40% flow rate is 193.7℃, which is defined as the first target value) to further improve the inlet synthesis gas temperature of the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000.

[0142] S112: whether the opening degree of the second regulating valve 4003 is 0;

[0143] S113: if yes, the first regulating valve 4002 is started, the fuzzy self-adaptive PID in the control device calculates the result according to the first target value 193.7℃, and the first regulating valve 4002 adjusts the opening degree according to the calculation result, so that the high-temperature reaction gas at the outlet of the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000 is branched, the inlet synthesis gas feed temperature of the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000 is further increased, and the ammonia synthesis reaction device 1000 is in time, efficient, safe and stable "constant temperature" or "near constant temperature" operation;

[0144] If no, continue to execute S111.

[0145] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection range of the present application.
