Fig. 2 is the turbine engine among Fig. 1 and the schematic representation of releasing system.
Embodiment
Organic rankine cycle (ORC) system can be used for generating.Oil is used to the turbine engine inside of various parts, particularly ORC system to provide lubricated in the ORC internal system.But when ORC moves, oil may move to turbine engine other do not need the zone of oil, and in some cases, oil may to some parts be have destructive.In addition, when system is activated, if some zone of turbine engine for example impeller oil is arranged, these oil can cause the system failure.The present invention mainly disclose a kind of during ORC system start-up effectively from the method and system of turbine engine oil removing.
Fig. 1 is the schematic representation of ORC system 10, and this system comprises condenser 12, pump 14, vaporizer 16, turbine engine 18, and the releasing system 20 that is connected to turbine engine 18.Refrigeration agent 22 cycles through system 10, and in order to generating.Liquid refrigerant 22a from condenser 12 passes through pump 14, thereby pressure is increased.High pressure liquid refrigerant 22a enters vaporizer 16, and this vaporizer utilizes thermal source 24 to come vaporized refrigerant 22.Thermal source 24 can include but not limited to the used heat of any kind of, comprises fuel cell, miniature turbine, and Reciprocating engine, and the thermal source of other kinds such as solar energy, underground heat or waste gas.The refrigeration agent 22 that leaves vaporizer 16 is vapor refrigerant 22b, and then enters turbine engine 18 by turbine inlet valve 26.Vapor refrigerant 22b is used to drive turbine engine 18, thereby turbine engine 18 is thus for generator 28 provides power, thereby generator 28 produces electric power.Leave the return condensed device 12 of vapor refrigerant 22b of turbine engine 18, at this liquid refrigerant 22a that is condensed back.Radiator 30 is used to provide cooling water to condenser 12.
Releasing system 20 is connected to turbine engine 18, and it is set to remove the oil that being easy in the turbine engine 18 assembled those zones of oil.Followingly described in detail with reference to figure 2, discharge pipe line 32 receives the part of the vapor refrigerant 22b that flows out from vaporizer 16, and transmits refrigeration agent 22b to releasing system 20.
As shown in Figure 1, ORC system 10 also has by-pass valve 36 and by-pass line 38, and they can prevent the refrigeration agent 22b turbine engine 18 of flowing through between the starting period.Between 10 starting periods, turbine engine 18 is temporarily with the bypass mode operation in system, and this moment, turbine engine did not receive any refrigeration agent, so that turbine engine 18 reaches predetermined operating conditions (being the temperature and pressure condition).At this moment, flow through by-pass line 38 and be conducted through bypass opening 39 of refrigeration agent 22b so that the temperature of refrigeration agent 22b increases, and in turbine engine 18 internal simulation operating conditionss.After bypass opening 39, refrigeration agent 22b is directed to condenser 12.In some mode of execution, when turbine engine inlet valve 26 was opened, by-pass valve 36 cut out, and vice versa.
Fig. 2 is the part schematic representation of the ORC system 10 among Fig. 1, comprises turbine engine 18, releasing system 20, discharge pipe line 32, turbine engine inlet valve 26, generator 28, by-pass valve 36, and by-pass line 38.Turbine engine 18 has impeller 40, exhaust shell 42 and high pressure volute 44.(, therefore be referred to as " high pressure volute " because turbine engine 18 volute 44 when operation is in high pressure.But when system 10 and turbine engine 18 were in bypass mode between the starting period, volute 44 was in low pressure.) in the operation mode of turbine engine 18, vapor refrigerant 22b (the coming from evaporator drier 16) inlet valve 26 of flowing through enters high pressure volute 44, then by nozzle 46, thus transmit motive force to impeller 40 with the axle 48 in the driving gearbox 50.Gear 52 connects transmission shaft 48 to generator 28, and the energy of generator utilization axle generates electricity.Gear-box 50 also has bearing 54, oil groove 56 and oil pump 58.
Discharge pipe line 32 is positioned at the upstream of turbine engine inlet valve 26, and is set to receive the part of the vapor refrigerant 22b that leaves vaporizer 16 (and flowing to turbine engine 18).Pipeline 32 then transmits refrigeration agent 22b to releasing system 20, and releasing system 20 is set to the liquid of removing in the turbine engine 18 (mainly being oil).Among the embodiment as shown in Figure 2, discharge pipe line 32 is positioned at the downstream of by-pass line 36; In another alternate embodiment, discharge pipe line 32 also can be positioned at the upstream of discharge pipe line 36.
By discharge pipe line 32 being arranged at the upstream of turbine engine inlet valve 26, when refrigeration agent 22 cycled through system 10, no matter turbine engine 18 is to be in which kind of pattern, discharge pipe line 32 can constantly be supplied refrigeration agent 22 to releasing system 20.Even turbine engine 18 is in bypass mode between the starting period and come the refrigeration agent 22 of from evaporator drier 16 to be transferred by by-pass line 36, refrigeration agent 22 also still flows to releasing system 20.
In other schemes of ORC system, discharge pipe line generally can be connected to turbine engine, thereby the cryogen source of releasing system can be carried by turbine engine.For example, discharge pipe line can be connected to the high pressure volute, the refrigeration agent of the high pressure volute of turbine engine thereby the releasing system utilization is flowed through.Yet in such scheme, releasing system only can move when the refrigeration agent that comes from evaporator drier is flowed through turbine engine.As above 1 explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, during system start-up, come the vapor refrigerant of from evaporator drier to be prevented from the turbine engine of flowing through.Refrigeration agent then the by-pass line of flowing through then flows to condenser.Therefore, when releasing system depends on refrigeration agent from turbine engine, under the bypass mode of turbine engine or start-up mode to turbine engine oil removing and infeasible.
But start-up mode may be the significant instant from impeller those zones (being high pressure volute and exhaust shell) oil removing on every side of turbine engine.If when turbine engine starts, there is oil in these zones, and some parts of turbine engine inside can be damaged.In addition, in ORC system run duration down periods particularly, the oil of turbine engine inside is transferred in exhaust shell and the high pressure volute usually.
And, because the discharge pipe line 32 of system 10 is positioned at the upstream of turbine engine inlet valve 26, and its direct refrigeration agent 22b that receives from evaporator drier 16, releasing system 20 can be removed the oil of turbine engine 18 under all operating modes of system 10.Discharge pipe line 32 receives the sub-fraction of the refrigeration agent 22 of from evaporator drier 16, thereby the operation and the efficiency of turbine engine 18 had small influence.For example, in one embodiment, come from evaporator drier 16 refrigeration agent 22 flow to pipeline 32 less than centesimal weight; In another preferred embodiment, the refrigerant flow direction pipeline 32 of about 0.2 weight percentage.Among the embodiment as shown in Figure 2, discharge pipe line 32 does not comprise valve, and this is because pipeline 32 is set to whenever the refrigeration agent 22 ORC system 10 that flows through promptly receives refrigeration agent 22.Will be appreciated that discharge pipe line 32 can comprise control valve.As shown in Figure 2, discharge pipe line 32 can have filter 60, and it is used for removing the particulate of refrigeration agent 22.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, releasing system 20 comprises first escaper 62 and second escaper 64, and they are as Venturi, and each all has the first mobile inlet and the second mobile inlet.In each escaper, come the high-pressure refrigerant of from evaporator drier 16 to flow through the first mobile inlet, produce enough suction with the liquid in the sucking-off turbine engine 18.
Releasing system 20 also comprises first pipeline 66 and second pipeline 68, and both all are connected to discharge pipe line 32.First pipeline 66 is set to transmit the first mobile inlet 70 of refrigeration agent 22 to first escapers 62.The second mobile inlet 72 of first escaper 62 is connected to pipeline 74, and transmits the oil of removing from the exhaust shell 42 of turbine engine 18 76 and pass through first escaper 62.(will be appreciated that although mainly be oil from the liquid of exhaust shell 42 sucking-offs, liquid also may comprise a certain amount of refrigeration agent.) second pipeline 68 is set to transmit first of refrigeration agent 22 to second escapers 64 inlet 78 that flows.Pipeline 80 is connected to the second mobile inlet 82 of second escaper 64, and transmits the liquid of removing from the high pressure volute 44 of turbine engine 18.The liquid that extracts from high pressure volute 44 mainly is oil; But this liquid also may comprise some refrigeration agent in turbine engine 18 internal flows.Flow through after escaper 62 and 64, refrigeration agent and oil flow to oil groove 56 by pipeline 84 jointly.Refrigeration agent can reclaim from oil groove 56 by pipeline 86 as steam and be back to exhaust shell 42.
As shown in Figure 2,, will be appreciated that releasing system 20 can move under the situation that first escaper 62 is only arranged although releasing system 20 includes two escapers.Because discharge pipe line 32 is positioned at the upstream of turbine engine inlet valve 26, discharge pipe line 32 at any time all can transmit refrigeration agent to the first escaper 62.Therefore, first escaper 62 can be effectively from turbine engine 18 oil removings, particularly during turbine engine 18 startups.Compare with the sort of ORC system that can't move between the starting period because of the refrigeration agent thereby the releasing system that depend on from turbine engine, system 10 has significantly reduced the startup fault by the oil of removing in the exhaust shell 42 before turbine engine 18 starts.
Although second escaper 64 is not necessary, will be appreciated that, use second escaper 64, in conjunction with first escaper 62 and discharge pipe line 32, can further increase the validity of system 10 from turbine engine 18 oil removings.As mentioned above, oil may accumulate in exhaust shell 42 and the high pressure volute 44.Second escaper 64 can be from 44 oil removings of high pressure volute, and inner in case oil separates from vapor refrigerant at high pressure volute 44, oil generally accumulates in the high pressure volute 44.Because the zone that may gather oil that is looped around around the impeller 40 all can be by oil removing, thereby uses two ejector system to help recovered oil all sidedly.
Although the present invention mainly discloses at turbine engine and has used discharge pipe line 32 and releasing system 20 between 18 starting periods, will be appreciated that, described herein remove the oil that oil system is used for removing in any stage of ORC system operation exhaust shell and high pressure volute.The operating mode of the turbine engine when flowing through turbine engine comprising the refrigeration agent that comes from evaporator drier.
Though the present invention is described with reference to preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art should know that the distortion that this form and details are done all falls into the spirit and scope of the present invention.
