Described distillate is so a kind of liquid, this kind liquid is transported in the power equipment and co-operation with it, utilizes at least one device in the power equipment, or vaporizer or condenser, or the two dual-purpose, obtain described distillate thereby from described liquid, fractionate out a kind of component.In the case, by discharging in the power equipment, power equipment uses distillate to work on then with described component.Consequently, the working medium that is used for steady state condition is the key component of liquid, and its thermodynamic properties is known to reproducible.
Described liquid is gasoline preferably.Tell those low boiling components with vaporizer, tell those high boiling components, thereby obtain the known liquid of a specific character with condenser.Perhaps, also can tell high boiling component, and tell low boiling component with condenser with vaporizer.Like this, even the characteristic of this liquid was unknown before power equipment is started working, or know little about it, but with vaporizer and condenser as the still-process that fractionation tower carried out after, with in those higher components and after all being discharged from than low boiling component, the surplus working medium of institute can guarantee that power equipment is according to predetermined method generation rated power.
As improvement of the present invention, can the temperature and pressure of above-mentioned fractionating device be monitored, and adjust the value of component described in the described distillate, thereby guarantee that the volume flow by power equipment is constant basically according to measured temperature and pressure.
Below will illustrate the embodiment of the invention by following accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 of the present inventionly carries out the skeleton diagram of the power equipment of rankine cycle with organic fluid,
Fig. 2 is according to a kind of flow of regulating working medium of the present invention, thereby guarantees that power equipment shown in Figure 1 keeps the technological scheme of rated power.
Figure 3 shows that the another kind of flow of regulating working medium of the present invention, thereby guarantee that power equipment shown in Figure 1 keeps the technological scheme of rated power.
Referring to accompanying drawing, what label 10 was represented is the power equipment that carries out rankine cycle with organic fluid of the present invention.Power equipment 10 comprises vaporizer 12, in vaporizer 12, heat by burner 14, in order to vaporization organic working medium 16, thereby produce the working medium of vaporization in the output tube 18, output tube 18 is connected by the pipeline 20 of joiner 19 with the inlet of the turbine engine 21 that leads to turbogenerator 22.The working medium of vaporization expands in turbine engine 21 and forms used heat working medium, and this working medium is admitted in the condenser 24, and used heat working medium is condensed at this.Condenser can be air cooling or water-cooled, and the condensed fluid 25 in the condenser is sent back in the vaporizer by pump 26, thereby has finished the circulation of organic fluid.Driven the generator 23 that is coupled with turbine engine 21 thus, the expansion of working medium has caused the generation of electric energy in the turbine engine.
Above-mentioned each device and working procedure all are to habitually practise in the prior art except the character of working medium.Before the present invention occurs, working medium all adopts pure organic fluid, for example pentane or isomery pentane, its thermodynamic properties is all determined, thereby allow the artificer when design motivation equipment, select the heat input of the steam of flow, the power that can obtain selecting output to the turbine conveying according to given being used for.According to the solution of the present invention, working medium can be the hydrocarbon that contains various ingredients, and gasoline for example because the variation of the various components that contain in the gasoline, makes the characteristic of gasoline and composition along with when and where can change.
In order to use hydrocarbon such as gasoline, adopt a kind of additional fuel tank 30, being filled with in the fuel tank is enough to work the hydrocarbon liquid of employing for power equipment.For this purpose, between fuel tank 30 and pump 26, valve V is installed 5Thereby, in other parts of vaporizer or power equipment, do not have working medium, and this moment need be to the power equipment transferring working medium so that during the starting power equipment, valve V 5Open, pump 26 pumps into vaporizer 12 with working medium, makes the liquid that is full of enough coolings in the power equipment.
Valve V then 6Open, heat to vaporizer then.Temperature by the control vaporizer makes in the liquid in the vaporizer more lower boiling component be gone out by fractionation, and temperature preferably remains below the temperature of design load, till all low boiling components are vaporized substantially.During this period, valve V 1Open, most of low boiling component enters by pipeline and stores in the fuel tank 32, and an Auxiliary valves (not shown) can be used to stop these components to enter turbine engine.
In order to detect the vaporization degree of low boiling component, vaporescence is controlled, in vaporizer, be provided with temperature and pressure sensor by label 33 representatives.When sensor 33 measured temperatures and pressure show, when discharging the low boiling component liquid in vaporizer, valve V 1Close V 7Open, the steam that produced this moment enters in the condenser 24 by pipeline.
Enter the steam and the steam of discharging vaporizer of condenser, have roughly the same temperature and pressure.The effect of condenser 24 is that the working medium of will vaporize is condensed into liquid.The part that at first is condensed into liquid is the higher component of boiling point, and these components are by opening valve V 3In pipeline storage fuel tank 34.By with the sensor monitoring temperature and pressure shown in the label 35, determine valve V 3Close moment.Work as V 3When closing, equipment can enter running state.In other words, valve V 1, V 2, V 3, V 4, V 5And V 7All close, by vaporizer, turbine engine and condenser carry out circuit working medium, are the medium boiling point components that was stored in originally in the hydrocarbon that replenishes in the fuel tank 30.
For equipment being worked effectively and producing rated power, can regulate the temperature and pressure of vaporizer and condenser, thereby produce needed flow.These parameters are measured by sensor 33 and 35, and institute's measured value is input in the control unit 36.Control unit can be the computer that is controlled to the various valves in the control system.Fluid enters system from storing fuel tank 32 and 34 via valve, and system regulates temperature and pressure in the course of the work and makes the electricity output of power equipment reach optimum value.Such working procedure may for example be carried out under the condition of variation of ambient temperature in summer or winter, and the temperature of cooling medium such as water or air also changes thereupon in the condenser at this moment.Such working procedure is similar to the working procedure described in No. 3842593 patents of the U.S., thereby the present invention introduces its theme as reference.Like this, for example in summer, ambient temperature raises, and causes that thereupon the temperature of the cooling medium in the condenser raises, thereby makes more high boiling component enter into work system.On the other hand, for example in winter, ambient temperature reduces the coolant temperature that causes in the condenser and reduces, thereby makes more low boiling component enter work system.
As the conversion of such scheme or augment scheme, can adopt design proposal shown in Figure 2.In this scheme, at the entrance device of turbine engine one group of separate nozzle 51,52,53, their control valve V by separately a, V b, V cFrom vaporizer, obtain working medium.These valves are controlled by control unit 36, make the percentage intake that enters turbine engine be controlled at assurance equipment and are output as on the level of optimum value.
As another kind of selection scheme, also can adopt scheme shown in Figure 3.Wherein, one row nozzle 51B is set, in order to carry the steam that produces by vaporizer 12 at the entrance 22B place of turbine engine.Enter into next section 22C of turbine engine via a row nozzle 51C by the steam of 22B discharge.The steam of being discharged by 22C is via the row nozzle 51D section of an entering into 22D.The discharge angle of nozzle 51B, 51C and 51D is adjustable, and these angles are set by controller 36B, 36C and 36D respectively, so that pilot pressure falls,, thereby be controlled at the flow of the working medium in each stage.
Although the thermal source of illustrated power equipment is the burner of combustion fuel, the present invention also can adopt the thermal source of other type, for example geothermal fluid.
By above description to most preferred embodiment of the present invention, advantage and the improvement effect that can find out the present invention significantly and possessed.Under theme of the present invention and in the claim restricted portion, can also comprise multiple variation and improvement.
