TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of energy technology especially relates to a rectification dehydrogenation and fuel cell combined coupling system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to cope with the dual challenge of energy crisis and environmental pollution, distributed energy system (DES) arouses the extensive attention of researchers because of its small scale deployment, modularity, high efficiency and stability. Among them, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) as an advanced power generation equipment, with its power generation high efficiency, simple structure, good fuel adaptation, environmental friendly characteristics, becomes one of the most promising power generation technologies. The working temperature range of SOFC is 650-1000 DEG C, and a large amount of high-grade waste heat is generated in the power generation process, in order to recover this part of heat energy, combining SOFC with upstream fuel production process (such as dehydrogenation process of liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC)) is an effective means to improve energy efficiency. Liquid organic hydrogen carrier technology is a promising hydrogen storage and transportation method, which can realize long-distance efficient transportation of hydrogen by using existing oil and gas infrastructure. However, the high energy consumption accompanied by LOHC dehydrogenation process is still a technical problem that needs to be overcome in the process of wide application of the technology.
[0003] At present, scholars have carried out relevant research on the integration of SOFC and LOHC system, mainly the combination of SOFC and fixed bed dehydrogenation process, the anode tail gas generated by SOFC is used to preheat hydrogen, the cathode tail gas is used to preheat air, and then the mixed combustion is carried out, and the tail gas after combustion is directly used as the heating source of the fixed bed reaction section. In this process, in order to avoid that the temperature of the reaction section of the fixed bed reactor is too high, fresh air is used to reduce the temperature of the tail gas after combustion, and the dehydrogenation temperature of the fixed bed dehydrogenation process is high, and the energy consumption is large. Although the combination of SOFC and fixed bed dehydrogenation process can reduce the energy consumption of the system to a certain extent, the use of fresh air to reduce the temperature of the tail gas after combustion reduces the energy grade of the tail gas. Therefore, how to further reduce the energy consumption of the process and realize the maximum utilization of SOFC tail gas energy becomes an important problem.
