Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of salinity-gradient power generation,
and in particular, to a heat pump-reinforced salinity-gradient power generation device
using a vapor-pressure difference energy method under a positive temperature
difference.
Technical Background
As the society progresses and the global economy develops rapidly, people
have increasing demand for energy sources. In view of the current development of
global energy sources, fossil energy sources will still dominate for a long time in the
future. However, fossil energy sources are nonrenewable energy sources and may
suffer from a series of problems such as exhaustion and environmental pollution. This
gives rise to an urgent need for people to search for new energy sources to replace
fossil energy sources. Oceans are inexhaustible sources of abundant ocean energies.
The ocean energy sources usually refer to renewable natural energy sources stored in
oceans, and the major one of the renewable natural energy sources is salinity gradient
energy based on seawater. Salinity gradient energy is a kind of energy obtained from
an electrochemical potential difference between seawater and fresh water or two types
of seawater that have different salt concentrations, and mainly exists in regions where
rivers and seas meet. In terms of characteristics, for example, there is a huge amount
of salinity gradient energy, and salinity gradient energy is clean and renewable. In
addition, salinity gradient energy may also be harnessed at salt lakes and underground
salt mines with abundant fresh water. Salinity gradient energy is a renewable energy
source with the largest energy density among ocean energies. Generally, an electrochemical potential difference between seawater (the salinity is 3.5%) and river water is equivalent to a 240-meter water level difference. Salinity gradient energy sources are abundant in oceans. It is estimated that there is 2.6 TW of usable salinity gradient energy on the earth. The amount of salinity gradient energy is even larger than that of temperature difference energy. It is calculated that in China, the annual runoff of coastal rivers is about 1.7x101 m' to 1.8x102 M3 , the annual runoff of major rivers is about 1.5x101 m3 to 1.6x1012 M3 , the reserves of coastal salinity gradient energy sources are about 3.9x1018 J, and the theoretical power is about
1.25x101 W. The amount of coastal energy sources in the estuaries of the Yangtze
River and rivers south to the Yangtze River accounts for 92.5% of the total amount in
China, and the theoretical power is estimated to be 0.86x101 W. In particular, the
runoff in the estuary of the Yangtze River is 2.2x104 m3 /s, and the power that can be
generated is 5.2x10 0W. In addition, some inland salt lakes in Qinghai province etc.
of China may also be utilized.
Currently, the forms of salinity-gradient power generation mainly include:
pressure retarded osmosis, reverse electrodialysis, vapor-pressure difference, electrochemical capacitance, and the like. Pressure retarded osmosis and reverse
electrodialysis are the most researched forms. The principle of the vapor-pressure
difference energy method is: A vapor pressure difference between salt solutions with
different concentrations is used to drive a turbine to generate power. The biggest
advantage of the method is that the dependence on osmotic membranes is avoided.
However, because of low temperature, low evaporation, and excessively small
pressure differences, at the room temperature, a vapor pressure difference between
seawater with a concentration of 3.45% and fresh water is only 10 mmHg to 20
mmHg. Therefore, the diameter of a turbine needs to be very large to ensure
reasonable power generation. Furthermore, the evaporation of water on an upper
surface on the side of a dilute solution causes gradual decrease of the temperature.
When moisture reaches an upper surface on the side of a concentrated solution,
because of heat release through condensation, the temperature rises, and a negative temperature difference is gradually formed, which suppresses the effect of a positive pressure difference. If the concentrated solution has a temperature increase of 0.5°C through condensation of water vapor, the positive pressure difference is canceled.
Therefore, it is exceedingly difficult to utilize salinity-gradient power generation
using a vapor-pressure difference energy method.

power generation device using the vapor-pressure difference energy method includes
the low-pressure container 11, the high-pressure container 8, the expander 23, the
differential pressure gauge 24, and the expander pipe 1. The low-pressure container
11 is connected to the high-pressure container 8 through the expander pipe 1. The
expander 23 is disposed in the expander pipe 1. The differential pressure gauge 24 is
disposed in the expander pipe 1. The differential pressure gauge 24 is disposed
between an outlet and an inlet of the expander 23. The evaporator 12 is disposed
inside the low-pressure container 11, and the concentrated solution 15 is filled inside
the low-pressure container 11. The condenser 7 is disposed inside the high-pressure
container 8, and the dilute solution 6 is filled inside the high-pressure container 8. The
concentrated solution 15 is a saturated lithium bromide solution or a saturated sodium
chloride solution. The dilute solution 6 is a solution with a concentration less than
10%.
The condenser 7 is placed in the dilute solution 6 to heat the dilute solution 6,
and the evaporator 12 is placed in the concentrated solution 15 to cool the concentrated solution 15. The compressor 22 is driven by an external motor. The heat pump pipe sequentially connects the compressor 22, the condenser 7, the throttle valve 10, and the evaporator 12 to form a heat pump heating cycle.
The salinity-gradient power generation device using a vapor-pressure difference
energy method further includes the dilute solution container 4, the dilute solution
supplement 5, the dilute solution pump 3, the dilute solution pump pipe 2, the
concentrated solution container 16, the concentrated solution supplement 17, the
concentrated solution pump 19, and the concentrated solution pump pipe 18. The
dilute solution supplement 5 is provided inside the dilute solution container 4. The
dilute solution container 4 is connected to the high-pressure container 8 through the
dilute solution pump pipe 2. The dilute solution pump 3 is disposed in the dilute
solution pump pipe 2. The concentrated solution supplement 17 is provided inside the
concentrated solution container 16. The concentrated solution container 16 is
connected to the low-pressure container 11 through the concentrated solution pump
pipe 18. The concentrated solution pump 19 is disposed in the concentrated solution
pump pipe 18.
The salinity-gradient power generation device using the vapor-pressure
difference energy method further includes the vacuum pump 20. The vacuum pump
20 is connected to the low-pressure container 11 by the vacuum pump pipe 21. The
liquid discharge pipe 14 is disposed at the bottom of the low-pressure container 11.
The valve 13 is disposed in the liquid discharge pipe 14. The throttle valve 10 is
disposed in the heat pump pipe 9 connecting the condenser 7 and the evaporator 12.
In a salinity-gradient power generation loop using a vapor-pressure difference
energy method, the dilute solution 6 is filled inside the high-pressure container 8, and
the dilute solution supplement 5 is filled in the dilute solution container 4. The dilute
solution pump 3 adds the dilute solution supplement 5 in the dilute solution container
4 to the high-pressure container 8. The concentrated solution 15 is filled in the
low-pressure container 11. The concentrated solution supplement 17 is filled in the concentrated solution container 16. The concentrated solution pump 19 adds the concentrated solution supplement 17 in the concentrated solution container 16 to the low-pressure container 11. Moreover, the low-pressure container 11 is connected to the vacuum pump 20 through the vacuum pump pipe 21, to maintain an internal vacuum condition. The bottom of the low-pressure container 11 is connected to the valve 13 to adjust the liquid discharge pipe 14. The high-pressure container 8 and the low-pressure container 11 are connected to the expander 23 through the expander pipe 1. The expander 23 is located between the low-pressure container 11 and the high-pressure container 8. The differential pressure gauge 24 is located on two sides of the expander 23. In this way, the entire salinity-gradient power generation loop using the vapor-pressure difference energy method is formed.
At a same temperature condition, the dilute solution 6 filled in the high-pressure container 8 evaporates more easily than the concentrated solution 15 in the low-pressure container 11. The vacuum pump 20 creates a vacuum condition for the low-pressure container 11, to enable the pressure in the high-pressure container 8 to be higher than the pressure in the low-pressure container 11. Under the effect of a pressure difference, water vapor in the high-pressure container 8 passes through the expander pipe 1 to drive the expander 23 to rotate and generate power. The water vapor then enters the low-pressure container 11, and condenses on the surface of the concentrated solution 15 in the low-pressure container 11 to release heat. As the device keeps operating, the dilute solution 6 in the high-pressure container 8 is reduced due to the evaporation of water. The dilute solution pump 3 adds the dilute solution supplement 5 to the high-pressure container 8 through the dilute solution pump pipe 2 to keep a liquid level of the dilute solution 6 in the high-pressure container 8 unchanged. Similarly, because the water vapor condenses on the surface of the concentrated solution 15 in the low-pressure container 11, the concentrated solution 15 is diluted to a reduced concentration. The diluted concentrated solution 15 is quantitatively discharged out of the low-pressure container 11 through the liquid discharge pipe 14 in time. The concentrated solution pump 19 quantitatively adds the concentrated solution supplement 17 to the low-pressure container 11 through the concentrated solution pump pipe 18, to keep the concentration of the concentrated solution 15 in the low-pressure container 11 unchanged. Moreover, because of heat absorption through evaporation of water in the dilute solution 6, the temperature in the high-pressure container 8 gradually decreases. The water vapor in the concentrated solution 15 condenses to release heat, so that the temperature in the low-pressure container 11 gradually increases. As a result, the temperature in the high-pressure container 8 is lower than the temperature in the low-pressure container 11. A negative temperature difference in the high-pressure container 8 mitigates the effect of a positive pressure difference, causing the expander 23 to do less work. The evaporator
12 is placed in the concentrated solution 15 in the low-pressure container 11, and the
condenser 7 is placed in the dilute solution 6 in the high-pressure container 8. The
evaporator 12 and the condenser 7 are connected to the compressor 22 and the throttle
valve 10 through the heat pump pipe 9, to form the heat pump heating cycle. The
working fluid in the heat pump heating cycle absorbs heat and evaporates in the
evaporator 12, to further lower the temperature in the concentrated solution 15 to
facilitate the condensation of water vapor on the surface of the concentrated solution
15, so that the pressure in the low-pressure container 11 is further decreased. The
working fluid in the heat pump heating cycle is cooled in the condenser 7 and releases
heat, to increase the temperature of the dilute solution 6 to facilitate the evaporation of
water on the surface of the dilute solution 6, so that the pressure in the high-pressure
container 8 is further increased. Not only the negative temperature difference
generated by heat absorption through evaporation of water in the dilute solution 6 and
heat release through condensation of water vapor in the concentrated solution 15 is
canceled, but also a positive temperature difference can be generated, thereby further
increasing a pressure difference, making it easier for the expander 23 to do work,
enhancing salinity-gradient power generation using the vapor-pressure difference
energy method, and improving the system power.
For the heat pump-reinforced salinity-gradient power generation device using a vapor-pressure difference energy method under a positive temperature difference of the present invention, by a heat pump heating cycle, heat is absorbed from a concentrated solution to lower the temperature of the concentrated solution, and heat is released to a dilute solution to increase the temperature of the dilute solution, so that a negative temperature difference generated by heat absorption through evaporation of water in the dilute solution and heat release through condensation of water vapor in the concentrated solution is effectively canceled, so as to maintain and increase a positive temperature difference, and to further maintain and increase a positive saturated vapor pressure difference, thereby making it easier for the expander to do work. The energy utilization efficiency is high, the loss is small, the costs are low, the applicability is desirable, and the processing is simple and convenient.
