Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vortex tube, concretely is CCUS ultra supercritical carbon dioxide liquid cooling energy storage geothermal power generation double vortex self -heating device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the background of current energy transformation, carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology is increasingly valued, especially in the field of geothermal power generation, ultra supercritical carbon dioxide as working fluid shows good prospects. However, although the vortex tube applied in the prior art can effectively realize the heating and cooling separation of gas, there are still some significant shortcomings, which limit its application in CCUS ultra supercritical carbon dioxide liquid cooling energy storage geothermal power generation.

[0003] Vortex tube is a device that uses the rotational flow of air or other gas to heat and cool the separation of gas. Its working principle is mainly based on Bernoulli's principle and the characteristics of vortex flow. The basic structure of vortex tube usually includes a cylindrical shell and an internal inlet, gas enters through the inlet to form a vortex flow; as shown in the drawings, the device uses compressed gas to generate cold and hot gas flow, and works based on the vortex effect in fluid dynamics. Figure 6

[0004] The basic working principle of vortex tube is: first, compressed air is injected into the center of the vortex tube at high speed through the nozzle. When the gas passes through the nozzle, it forms a high-speed rotating vortex inside the vortex tube. This vortex divides the gas into two parts: one is the outer layer of gas near the wall, and the other is the inner layer of gas in the center. Due to the centrifugal force of the vortex, the kinetic energy of the outer layer of gas is converted into potential energy, resulting in a decrease in temperature, forming a cold gas flow of -40 degrees; while the kinetic energy of the inner layer of gas increases, the temperature rises, forming a hot gas flow of 127 degrees. One end of the vortex tube (usually the thinner end) will discharge cold gas, while the other end (thicker end) will discharge hot gas. By adjusting the valve on the vortex tube, the ratio of cold and hot gas flow can be controlled. The working principle of vortex tube does not require any external energy input, it completely relies on the conversion of kinetic energy of compressed gas to achieve cold and hot effect. The efficiency of vortex tube and the temperature of the cold and hot gas flow generated depend on many factors, including the pressure, temperature of the input gas, the design of the nozzle, and the material and size of the vortex tube.

[0005] ​However, the temperature control capability of the conventional vortex tube is limited when dealing with supercritical carbon dioxide, because the existing vortex tube mostly uses air or conventional gas as the working medium, and its applicable range and performance parameters may not necessarily meet the high pressure and high temperature characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide. For supercritical carbon dioxide, the required cooling temperature and pressure conditions are relatively harsh, and the conventional vortex tube may not be able to effectively operate under these conditions, resulting in excessively low gas temperature, which in turn affects the overall thermal efficiency and power generation capacity of the system; due to the lack of appropriate self-heating mechanism in the existing vortex tube, the movement of the gas in the vortex tube mainly depends on the input of external energy, resulting in relatively high energy consumption. Before entering the turbine, the low expansion ratio and enthalpy entropy value of the carbon dioxide will directly lead to a decrease in the energy conversion efficiency of the turbine, increasing the energy consumption in the power generation process. Moreover, the design of the existing vortex tube in terms of gas collision and friction does not fully utilize the advantages of supersonic flow, resulting in low thermal conversion efficiency of the gas, making it difficult to produce sufficient high-temperature and high-pressure gas to drive the efficient operation of the turbine.

[0006] Therefore, the skilled person in the art proposes a CCUS supercritical carbon dioxide liquid cooling energy storage geothermal power generation double vortex self-heating device. Content of the utility model

[0023] The embodiment of the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the utility model, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0024] As shown in the accompanying Figure 1 to the accompanying Figure 5 As shown in the accompanying:

[0025] The utility model provides CCUS ultra supercritical carbon dioxide liquid cooling energy storage geothermal power generation double vortex self heating device, including first vortex subassembly 100, first vortex subassembly 100 passes through gas -tight screw joint, is provided with second vortex subassembly 200, and the gas -tight screw joint of first vortex subassembly 100 and second vortex subassembly 200 all has lavall nozzle 300. Ultra supercritical carbon dioxide is under high pressure through vortex heating device supercritical carbon dioxide compression collision, with the supersonic friction of metal surface, forms high temperature high pressure ultra supercritical expansion gas, promotes turbine generator, improves turbine generator efficiency, reduces turbine gas energy consumption, provides green warmth for city, helps double carbon to promote.

[0026] First vortex subassembly 100 still includes female vortex pipe 101, as a pipe body, the both sides of female vortex pipe 101 upper end are provided with first communication hole 102, as carbon dioxide inlet, female vortex pipe 101 is through from top to bottom middle part, and its bottom through -going port is as hot gas outlet, and flange plate 103 is installed at the bottom of female vortex pipe 101.

[0027] Second vortex subassembly 200 still includes male vortex pipe 201 that is arranged in the female vortex pipe 101, and male vortex pipe 201 is inserted from the top through -going port of female vortex pipe 101, and the interface is welded, and the both sides of male vortex pipe 201 upper end are provided with second communication hole 202, as carbon dioxide inlet.

[0028] Lavall nozzle 300 is welded in first communication hole through gas -tight screw joint, and four lavall nozzles 300 are welded in first communication hole 102 and second communication hole 202 respectively. Lavall nozzle is used for increasing gas flow velocity to supersonic speed, so that gas flow, gas molecule collision compression increases, and gas and pipe wall friction heat generation are increased. At the same time through gas -tight screw joint mode, the welding sealing effect and firm degree are better. The principle of lavall pipe is that the compressible fluid of subsonic speed reaches sonic speed at the narrowest place through converging structure, and then the compressible fluid reaching sonic speed continues to accelerate through expanding structure, reaches supersonic speed.

[0029] Working process: The outlet pressure of CCUS ultra-supercritical carbon dioxide liquid cooling energy storage geothermal power well is 70 megapascals at 200 degrees Celsius, and the medium-temperature high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide enters the mother vortex tube 101, and the two sides of the Laval nozzle 300 are high-pressure injected, the airflow rotates at high speed along the inner wall of the mother vortex tube 101 and the outer wall of the public vortex tube 201, the gas molecules collide with each other and rub against the metal, generating high heat along the outlet. At the same time, the outlet pressure of the CCUS ultra-supercritical carbon dioxide liquid cooling energy storage geothermal power well is 70 megapascals at 200 degrees Celsius, and the medium-temperature high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide enters the public vortex tube 201, and the supercritical carbon dioxide gas is injected by the two sides of the Laval nozzle 300 at high pressure, and rotates at high speed along the wall of the public vortex tube 201, and the gas molecules collide with each other and rub against the metal, generating high heat along the outlet.

[0030] Working principle: Based on the vortex compression collision and metal friction effect in fluid dynamics, the carbon dioxide geothermal wellhead pressure is 60-80 megapascals, the temperature is 200°C, the casing 244.5MM is a special casing, and the flow rate of supercritical carbon dioxide in the 244.5 casing per second needs to use the mass flow and the cross-sectional area of the pipeline. The given data is: mass flow: 1320 tons / hour; pressure: 70 megapascals; temperature: 200 degrees Celsius; pipeline diameter: 244.5 millimeters.

[0031] First, convert the mass flow from tons / hour to kilograms / second: 1320 tons / hour ≈ 366.67 kilograms / second;

[0032] Then calculate the cross-sectional area of the pipeline. The pipeline diameter is 244.5 millimeters, which is 0.2445 meters. The cross-sectional area A of a circular tube is given by:

[0033]

[0034] Where d is the diameter of the pipeline. Substitute the diameter value:

[0035]

[0036] A = π(r) 2 = π(0.12225) 2 = π × 0.0149650625

[0037] ≈ 0.0471

[0038] Use the mass flow and cross-sectional area to calculate the flow rate v:

[0039]

[0040] Therefore, the flow rate of supercritical carbon dioxide in the 244.5 casing is about 7784.92 meters per second. The supercritical carbon dioxide (200°C) of the carbon dioxide power well entering the double vortex heater collides and rubs against the wall of the vortex male and female pipes, which generates high temperature, and the temperature can reach about 1500°C, or even in some cases, the temperature can be as high as 2000°C.

[0041] Example two: this example is basically the same as the previous example, the difference is that the inner and outer walls of the male vortex pipe 201 and the female vortex pipe 101 are processed by a laser to increase the friction and friction temperature, and to enhance the strength of the metal surface. Laser processing technology of metal surface has many benefits, mainly including: improving the surface properties and physical properties of the material, improving the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance of the parts. Through laser processing, a modified layer with specific properties can be formed on the metal surface, thereby improving the overall performance of the metal. Laser passivation technology can form a dense oxide or nitride layer, effectively preventing the metal from contacting the corrosive medium in the environment, enhancing the corrosion resistance of the metal, and improving the performance and service life of the metal product.
