What realize said method is the cold energy of liquefied natural gas use device of medium with the refrigerant, comprises liquefied natural gas pump, seawater vaporizer, cryogenic heat exchanger, refrigerant low-temperature storage tank, low temperature refrigerant pump, refrigerant normal temperature storage tank and normal temperature refrigerant pump etc.; Described liquefied natural gas pump is connected with cryogenic heat exchanger with the seawater vaporizer respectively by liquefied natural gas flow pilot angle valve, the liquefied natural gas flow valve of band shunting successively, and seawater vaporizer, cryogenic heat exchanger are connected with the natural gas high pressure pipe network by the natural gas flow metered valve respectively; Cryogenic heat exchanger is connected with the refrigerant low-temperature storage tank with choke valve by refrigerant insulation feed-line successively, and the refrigerant low-temperature storage tank is connected with the low temperature refrigerant pump, and the low temperature refrigerant pump is connected with refrigerant normal temperature storage tank by low temperature cold medium flux valve; Refrigerant normal temperature storage tank is connected with the normal temperature refrigerant pump, and the normal temperature refrigerant pump is connected with cryogenic heat exchanger with normal temperature refrigerant feed-line by normal temperature cold medium flux valve successively, forms cold recovery, utilizes circulation.
Since the gas downstream user with gas load in time, seasonal fluctuation is bigger, nonuniformity coefficient with gas is bigger, thereby receiving station must have certain air feed peak modulation capacity, promptly when usefulness gas peak, downstream, pass through to increase the evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas, that satisfies downstream user uses the gas demand, then reduces the evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas with the gas low ebb time.When the evaporating capacity of LNG fluctuates widely, the evaporating capacity that liquefied natural gas flow pilot angle valve and the liquefied natural gas flow valve by accommodation zone shunting changes the seawater vaporizer.When adjustable range surpasses the regulating power of seawater vaporizer, then regulate by the LNG evaporating capacity that changes cryogenic heat exchanger.The evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas and refrigerant heat exchange changes in time, thereby causes being supplied to cold user's cold instability.On the other hand, the cold user also may can not keep absolute constant because of factors such as turn of the market, weather conditions variation fluctuate to some extent to the demand of cold.For this reason, two refrigerant storage tanks in the flow process of the present invention will play the effect that solves vaporization and the nonsynchronous problem of cryogenic energy utilization duration of load application characteristic.The low temperature refrigerant pump is extracted the coolant quantity of delivering to the cold user out from the refrigerant low-temperature storage tank, be (by the low temperature cold medium flux valve) controlled according to cold user's demand.Refrigerant temperature after utilizing cold is increased near normal temperature, and its flow that turns back to refrigerant normal temperature storage tank remains unchanged.And the normal temperature refrigerant is carried back the flow of cryogenic heat exchanger by refrigerant normal temperature feed-line by the normal temperature refrigerant pump, be (by the normal temperature cold medium flux valve) controlled according to the demand of the evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas.Because above-mentioned duration of load application characteristic difference, the feed flow of synchronization refrigerant pump is different.By the lifting of refrigerant low-temperature storage tank and refrigerant normal temperature tank level, just can guarantee to satisfy simultaneously nonsynchronous vaporization and cryogenic energy utilization workload demand within the specific limits.Concrete operations are: in the time need increasing the liquefied natural gas vaporization amount with the gas peak, improve the conveying capacity of normal temperature refrigerant by the aperture that increases normal temperature cold medium flux valve; Because the flow of low temperature cold medium flux valve does not change, so the liquid level in the refrigerant low-temperature storage tank raises and the corresponding reduction of liquid level of refrigerant normal temperature storage tank gradually; With the gas low ebb time, need reduce the evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas, then reduce the conveying capacity of normal temperature refrigerant by the aperture that reduces the cold medium flux valve, same because the not change of the flow of low temperature cold medium flux valve, so the liquid level of refrigerant raises in the refrigerant normal temperature storage tank, the liquid level in the refrigerant low-temperature storage tank reduces; By utilizing the adjusting of these two refrigerant storage tanks, can be implemented in recovery cold as much as possible under the situation of liquefied natural gas vaporization amount fluctuation, that satisfies the different times downstream simultaneously uses the gas demand.
The present invention has following advantage and beneficial effect with respect to prior art:
(1) by utilizing refrigerant as medium, cold recovery and cryogenic energy utilization are separately become two processes, only the very little cryogenic heat exchanger of floor space is placed in the liquefied natural gas receiving station, and the cold user that floor space is big is arranged in outside the liquefied natural gas receiving station, only supplies cold by receiving station to each cold user by the refrigerant feed-line.The vaporescence of liquefied natural gas is all under the direct control of liquefied natural gas receiving station, like this can be according to the gas downstream user come the evaporating capacity of condition lng with gas load variations rule, what ensure the downstream uses the gas demand, is not subjected to the influence of cryogenic energy utilization fully.

(3) existing cold energy of liquefied natural gas utilize in the technology all be adopt the high-pressure liquefaction natural gas directly and the cryogenic energy utilization device carry out heat exchange, the cold user must use high voltage bearing heat exchanger (more than the 7.0MPa) to utilize the cold of liquefied natural gas, and possess corresponding emergency service, make the investment of cryogenic energy utilization project increase like this.And the present invention utilizes refrigerant as medium, and the low temperature refrigerant is transported to the cold user, and refrigerant pressure is far below the pressure for vaporization of liquefied natural gas, and the investment of heat exchanger can greatly reduce in the cryogenic energy utilization project, improves the economic benefit of cryogenic energy utilization project.
(4) cold that carries of refrigerant can be used for that air separation, deep cooling are pulverized, system dry ice, freezer refrigerating, the air inlet that can also be used for cold generating and gas turbine is cooled off.Owing to not limited by the land used of receiving station,, can also make the cold of liquefied natural gas to be fully used according to the principle of " temperature counterpart, cascade utilization " so a plurality of large-scale cryogenic energy utilization projects can be set.

A certain Large LNG receiving station, year Liquefied Natural Gas Import (LNG) 3,000,000 tons, wherein 1,000,000 tons/year are used for retail, and remaining 2,000,000 tons/year liquefied natural gas vaporization enters pipe network and flows to downstream user and use, and mean annual evaporating capacity is about 228 tons/hour.The mole of liquefied natural gas consists of: methane 96.62%, ethane 2.77%, propane 0.34%, iso-butane 0.07%, butane 0.08%, nitrogen 0.10%.Cold user 12 mainly contains large cold storage and junked tire low-temperature grinding factory that produces 30000 tons of fine glue powders per year of three 10,000 tons, and total cold load is about 18.9MW.
Liquefied natural gas pump 1 is per hour extracted-162 ℃, 228 tons liquefied natural gas out from storage tank, and its pressure is increased to outer defeated required pressure scope, about 8.0MPa (high pressure LNG), and the LNG temperature is increased to about-158.0 ℃ approximately.In the liquefied natural gas flow pilot angle valve 2 of band shunting, the liquefied natural gas of high pressure is divided into two strands, by condition lng flow valve 3 and liquefied natural gas flow valve 4, one LNG of 128 tons/hour is entered seawater vaporizer 5 through liquefied natural gas flow valve 3 vaporize with seawater to make heat exchange, the LNG that another strand is 100 tons/hour enters cryogenic heat exchanger 6 through liquefied natural gas flow valve 4 and vaporizes with the refrigerant heat exchange.Refrigerant is selected propane, and flow is 210 tons/hour, and temperature is 15 ℃, and pressure is 1.0MPa.By with the liquefied natural gas heat exchange, propane obtains cold, and temperature is reduced to-150 ℃ approximately, and pressure is 0.95MPa, and liquefied natural gas obtains heat and all vaporizes simultaneously, and is heated to about 5.0 ℃.After 6 vaporizations of high-pressure liquefaction natural gas via seawater vaporizer 5 and cryogenic heat exchanger, enter natural gas high pressure pipe network 9 through natural gas flow metered valve 7 and natural gas flow metered valve 8 respectively and flow to the gas downstream user and use.
About-150 ℃ propane is transported to cryogenic energy utilization district liquefied natural gas receiving station outside by refrigerant hot insulated line 10, because course of conveying has loss of refrigeration capacity, temperature rises to-148.0 ℃ approximately, and while pressure is reduced to 0.90MPa.Propane is depressurized to 0.10MPa by choke valve 11 again, and the low temperature propane of this normal pressure is stored in the refrigerant low-temperature storage tank 12.Utilize low temperature refrigerant pump 13 that normal pressure propane is boosted to 1.20MPa, temperature rises to-147.1 ℃, is transported to cold user 15 through low temperature cold medium flux valve 14 then and supplies with user's use.The cold that propane carries is after cold user 15 uses, temperature is increased to about 12.0 ℃, it is carried back and is stored in the refrigerant normal temperature storage tank 16, and through normal temperature cold medium flux valve 18 and normal temperature refrigerant feed-line 19 delivery of propane of normal temperature is returned cryogenic heat exchanger 6 by normal temperature refrigerant pump 17, form a cold recovery and utilize circulation.
The evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas is subjected to the influence of gas downstream user gas consumption, therefore also has tangible inhomogeneities, the evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas generally average magnitude ± 20% scope in the fluctuation, promptly the evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas fluctuates between 182.4～273.6 tons/hour.Under 100 tons of/hour constant situations of evaporating capacity that keep cryogenic heat exchanger 6, satisfy the liquefied natural gas vaporization demand of different time sections by the evaporating capacity of regulating seawater vaporizer 5, promptly the evaporating capacity of seawater vaporizer 5 fluctuates between 82.4～173.6 tons/hour.The liquefied natural gas flow pilot angle valve of in operating process, shunting 2 by accommodation zone, liquefied natural gas flow valve 3 and liquefied natural gas flow valve 4 are controlled the treating capacity of seawater vaporizer 5 and cryogenic heat exchanger 6, promptly the time with the gas low ebb, the evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas is 182.4 tons/hour, wherein 100 tons/hour liquefied natural gas advances cryogenic heat exchanger 6 vaporizations and reclaims cold, and 82.4 tons of/hour remaining liquefied natural gas advance in the seawater vaporizer to vaporize; With the gas peak time, the evaporating capacity of liquefied natural gas reaches 273.6 tons/hour, the liquefied natural gas flow pilot angle valve 2 of accommodation zone shunting then, liquefied natural gas flow valve 3 and liquefied natural gas flow valve 4, keep 100 tons/hour of the treating capacities of cryogenic heat exchanger 6 constant, and the evaporating capacity of seawater vaporizer 5 is increased to 173.6 tons/hour from 82.4 tons/hour.In this way, can effectively tackle the fluctuation of liquefied natural gas vaporization amount, guarantee air feed safety to the gas downstream user.
In embodiment 1 described liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving station, developing along with cryogenic energy utilization market, cold user 15 increases by one and produces 200000 tons of liquia air product (90,000 tons/year of liquid oxygen per year on the basis of original large cold storage and junked tire low-temperature grinding factory, 12.5 ten thousand tons/year of liquid nitrogen, 0.4 ten thousand tons/year of liquid argons) air separation plant, its refrigeration duty is about 16.5MW, and cold user 15 total load reaches 35.4MW.In order to satisfy the refrigeration requirement that cold user 15 increases, liquefied natural gas flow pilot angle valve 2 by the accommodation zone shunting, liquefied natural gas flow valve 3 and liquefied natural gas flow valve 4,170 tons/hour liquefied natural gas are passed through cryogenic heat exchanger 6 with the propane heat exchange, increase is to the cold of cold user 15 supplies, and the evaporating capacity of seawater vaporizer 5 is reduced to 58 tons/hour liquefied natural gas simultaneously.Because liquefied natural gas (LNG) amount by cryogenic heat exchanger 6 vaporization increases, also increase to 355 tons/hour by 210 tons/hour with the propane amount of liquefied natural gas heat exchange.By heat exchange, the propane temperature is reduced to-151.6 ℃, and is transported to cryogenic energy utilization district outside the liquefied natural gas receiving station by refrigerant hot insulated line 10, because course of conveying has loss of refrigeration capacity, the propane temperature rises to about-148.0 ℃, and pressure is reduced to 0.90MPa.Propane is depressurized to 0.10MPa by choke valve 11 again, and this atmospheric low-temperature propane is stored in the refrigerant low-temperature storage tank 12.Utilize low temperature refrigerant pump 13 that normal pressure propane is boosted to 1.20MPa, temperature rises to-147.1 ℃, is transported to cold user 15 through low temperature cold medium flux valve 14 then and supplies with user's use.The cold that propane carries is after cold user 15 uses, temperature is increased to about 12 ℃, it is stored in the refrigerant normal temperature storage tank 16, and through normal temperature cold medium flux valve 18 and normal temperature refrigerant feed-line 19 delivery of propane of normal temperature is returned cryogenic heat exchanger 6 by normal temperature refrigerant pump 17, form a cold recovery and utilize circulation.
