Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogen catalytic combustion technology, and in particular to a system for the co-production of steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, research in the field of hydrogen catalytic combustion technology is in the laboratory, small-scale, and civilian heating stages. The difficulty in industrialization and large-scale application lies in the fact that hydrogen is flammable and explosive, with a wide range of explosive limits in air (approximately 4% to 75% by volume). Therefore, for safety, the hydrogen concentration must be controlled below the lower explosive limit during the reaction of hydrogen with air. This means that multiple series reactions are required to fully utilize hydrogen and oxygen in the air. CN119309197A discloses a multi-stage air-intake hydrogen catalytic combustion system and method. The system includes a hydrogen supply component and an air supply component. The air supply component and the hydrogen supply component are connected in parallel and then connected to a hydrogen catalytic combustion reactor through a mixing pipe. The hydrogen catalytic combustion reactor includes multiple catalytic reaction chambers distributed sequentially from the beginning to the end. Each catalytic reaction chamber is connected to a branch air supply component, which is also connected to the hydrogen supply component through a branch pipe. The air intake of each branch air supply component is adjustable. This patent improves the useful power consumption ratio of the air supply component by using multi-stage mixed hydrogen intake.
[0003] While the multi-stage series reactor multi-point feeding process can make full use of oxygen in the air, it requires each reactor to be equipped with a detection instrument, resulting in a complex process, many instruments, large equipment, high investment, and high failure rate. In addition, the water produced by the reaction must be separated in time, otherwise it will reduce the performance of the catalyst. At the same time, the exhaust gas produced by the catalytic combustion device is generally directly released into the air without being utilized.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new hydrogen catalytic combustion system to simplify equipment, reduce costs, and fully recycle and utilize resources. Utility Model Content

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, a gas circulator 7 is provided in the pipeline connecting the first outlet X2 of the circulating gas and the second inlet X3 of the circulating gas, and the exhaust gas outlet VT is provided in the outlet pipeline of the gas circulator 7.
[0064] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, the gas circulation machine 7 is a fan, compressor, or booster pump. The gas circulation machine 7 can also be any other type of device with gas pressurization function.
[0065] In this embodiment, the gas circulator 7 circulates the reaction gas back to the reactor 1, and the oxygen content of the gas outlet of the reactor 1 is controlled to meet the process requirements by controlling the circulation ratio.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, the gas mixer 1 is a static mixer or a wire mesh mixer.
[0067] In this embodiment, the gas mixer 1 mixes the newly added hydrogen, air and circulating gas evenly to avoid local hydrogen concentration exceeding the lower explosive limit and increasing safety risks. In addition, even mixing is conducive to full contact between hydrogen and oxygen, resulting in more complete combustion.
[0068] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for the co-production of steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, the reactor 2 is a vertical tubular reactor; the interior of the reactor 2 is filled with a particulate catalyst, or the inner surface of the reactor 2 is coated with a powdered catalyst.
[0069] In this embodiment, reactor 2 and steam generator 3 are coupled into a single device using a shell-and-tube structure, i.e., reactor 2 is in the tube side and steam generator 3 is in the shell side. During normal operation, the mixed gas from gas mixer 1 flows downwards into the tube side, contacting the catalyst inside reactor 2. Hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the air to produce water, releasing a large amount of heat energy. Heated by this heat energy, the generated water is vaporized to form steam, which mixes with the reacting gas and flows continuously downwards along the tube side, leaving reactor 2 and entering gas-to-gas heat exchanger 4. The inner diameter of the upper section of steam generator 3 is larger than that of the lower section; the upper section is an enlarged section. This enlarged section serves two purposes: firstly, it separates the vapor and liquid, reducing water mist entrainment; secondly, it generates superheated steam, which helps prevent condensation during long-distance steam transport. When the steam generator 3 is working normally, water is continuously added to the shell side of the reactor from the first inlet W4 and flows upward, where it exchanges heat with the high-temperature gas flowing downward in the tubes of the reactor 2. During the downward flow, the high-temperature gas in the tube side heats the water in the shell side through the tube wall, causing the water to vaporize and generate steam. After the steam-liquid separation is achieved in the shell side expansion section, the steam continues to rise and is further heated by the reactor tubes at a higher temperature to generate superheated steam, which is discharged from the steam outlet S1 for downstream use.
[0070] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, the first level gauge L1 is a magnetostrictive level gauge or a differential pressure transmitter; the second level gauge L2 is a magnetostrictive level gauge or a differential pressure transmitter; the first level gauge L1 and the second level gauge L2 are different.
[0071] In this embodiment, two level gauges are installed on the steam generator 3. If the water level in the steam generator 3 is too high, water will overflow from the steam outlet S1. If the water level is too low, the tubes of the reactor 2 will dry out and damage the reactor 2. The first level gauge L1 and the second level gauge L2 are installed so that the two level gauges can be compared and verified to improve the measurement accuracy. On the other hand, when one level gauge fails, the other level gauge can continue to work to keep the device running continuously and stably.
[0072] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, the gas-to-gas heat exchanger 4 is a corrugated plate heat exchanger, a finned heat exchanger, or a shell-and-tube heat exchanger.
[0073] In this embodiment, the gas-to-gas heat exchanger 4 can recover the heat energy from the high-temperature reaction gas, thereby improving the thermal efficiency of the device. Through cross-flow heat exchange between the low-temperature circulating gas and the high-temperature reaction gas, the heat energy is carried back to the reactor 2 and generated into water vapor through the steam generator 3.
[0074] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, the gas-water heat exchanger 5 is a corrugated plate heat exchanger, a finned heat exchanger, or a shell-and-tube heat exchanger.
[0075] In this embodiment, the gas-water heat exchanger 5 can further recover the heat energy in the reaction gas, improving the thermal efficiency of the device. Through cross-flow heat exchange between the low-temperature water and the high-temperature reaction gas, the heat energy is carried back to the steam generator 3.
[0076] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, the gas-water separator 6 is a wire mesh type, a grid type, a louver type, or a swirl type.
[0077] In this embodiment, the gas-water separator 6 can separate gas from water, reduce the moisture content of the circulating gas, and at the same time, the separated water can be used as a supplement to the system water supply, thereby improving the water utilization rate.
[0078] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, in the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion, the water supply pump 8 is a centrifugal pump, a vortex pump, a multistage pump, or a positive displacement pump.
[0079] In this embodiment, the water supply pump 8 can replenish water to the steam generator, and the water level of the steam generator 3 is stabilized by a water level control loop consisting of the water level of the steam generator 3 and the outlet flow regulating valve of the water supply pump 8.
[0080] In one specific embodiment, the process flow of the system for co-producing steam and nitrogen by hydrogen catalytic combustion is as follows:
[0081] 1. Hydrogen and fresh air are mixed in gas mixer 1. After being mixed evenly, the mixture enters reactor 2. In reactor 2, a combustion reaction occurs to produce water and release heat energy. The generated water is vaporized into water vapor and mixed with the high-temperature gas after the reaction, flowing downward into the tube of steam generator 3.
[0082] 2. The high-temperature gas after the reaction heats and vaporizes the hot water from the gas-water heat exchanger 5 in the shell side of the steam generator 3. The water vapor generated in the shell side achieves vapor-liquid separation in the expansion section of the steam generator 3 and continues to rise and is discharged from the water vapor outlet S1 for downstream use; the high-temperature gas after the reaction continues to fall and enters the gas-gas heat exchanger 4.
[0083] 3. The high-temperature gas after the reaction exchanges heat with the low-temperature circulating gas in the gas-gas heat exchanger 4 through the cross-flow partition wall, recovering the heat energy of the high-temperature gas after the reaction and returning it to the reactor 2. The high-temperature gas after the reaction continues to flow downward into the gas-water heat exchanger 5.
[0084] 4. The high-temperature gas after the reaction exchanges heat with the low-temperature water in the gas-water heat exchanger 5 to produce hot water which then enters the steam generator 3.
[0085] 5. The high-temperature gas after the reaction leaves the gas-water heat exchanger 5 and enters the gas-water separator 6, where the gas and water are separated. The separated gas is pressurized by the gas circulator 7 and split into two streams. One stream passes through the gas-gas heat exchanger 4 and enters the gas mixer 1, where it mixes with the feed hydrogen and oxygen and enters the reactor 2. The other stream is discharged as nitrogen through the tail gas outlet VT for downstream use. The separated water, as a supplement to the unit's feed water, enters the unit from the gas-water heat exchanger 5 along with the soft water supplied by the feed water pump 8.
[0086] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
