Description

Be applicable to the Diversity refrigeration agent that precooling temperature is the natural gas liquefaction system of-40 to-60 ℃
Technical field
The invention belongs to Refrigeration & Cryogenic Technique field, particularly a kind of Diversity refrigeration agent that is applicable to the natural gas liquefaction system that precooling temperature is-40 to-60 ℃.
Background technology
Natural gas liquefaction flow process can be divided into Cascade, mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path according to refrigeration modes and with the liquefaction flow path three basic forms of it of decompressor.Wherein mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path is to contain C1~C5 and N 2mix refrigerant etc. various ingredients is working medium, carries out the cold that condensation step by step, evaporation, throttling expansion obtain differing temps level, progressively cooling and final natural gas liquids.According to having or not precooling link, mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path can be divided into again without precooling mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path and the mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path that has precooling.The principal feature of mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path is: 1) unit equipment is few, and Process flow is comparatively simple, invests moderate; 2) mix refrigerant component can some or all ofly be extracted and supplement from Sweet natural gas itself; 3) proportioning of mix refrigerant is very crucial, and for guaranteeing the lower energy consumption level of flow process, mix refrigerant proportioning is wanted rationally.
Compared to directly utilize mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path main refrigerant to circulate to realize to treat natural gas liquids by normal temperature cooling to precooling temperature, by being set, precooling link realizes this process of cooling, can significantly reduce liquefaction flow path than power consumption, this is mainly in the lower cooling and cold warm area of mistake, to provide cold because main refrigerant is preferably.General precooling link is relatively independent refrigeration cycle, and as the most common propane refrigeration circulation etc., precooling link can will treat that natural gas liquids is precooled to precooling temperature by normal temperature by precooling working medium.Simultaneously because precooling link can be shared a part of cooling load, at total liquefying refrigerating, load under constant prerequisite, main refrigerant circulation refrigeration duty can be minimized, main refrigerant flow measures to reduce, and then reduce the dimensional requirement to main refrigerant compressor and main heat exchanger, therefore when pursuing larger single line LNG output, it is more necessary that the setting of precooling link just seems.The selection of Pre-cooling Mode or precooling working medium mainly contains following several: propane pre-cooling, HFC precooling, MR precooling and Sweet natural gas expansion precooling.
Propane is to be applied at present precooling working medium the most common in mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path.Propane itself can obtain in natural gas _ raw material gas, and normal boiling point is-42.1 ℃, and under normal temperature, (25 ℃) saturation vapour pressure is 0.952MPa, and the hot physical property of propane has determined that it is suitable as the refrigeration cycle working medium of Sweet natural gas precooling warm area very much.Even if it should be noted that in compact cascade type natural gas liquefaction flow process, also large mainly with propane the working medium as first step refrigeration cycle.Visible propane is that ideal precooling working medium is selected, and in propane pre-cooling mix refrigerant (C3-MR) natural gas liquefaction flow process, the temperature of propane pre-cooling is-35 ℃ of left and right conventionally.
Fluorocarbon (HFC) also can be used as precooling working medium.The occasion being restricted at many hydrocarbon polymers (as propane), HFC class refrigeration agent (as R410A) will be that good precooling working medium is selected.HFC class refrigeration agent is of a great variety, and alternative strong, HFC class refrigeration agent has had ripe application experience for many years in refrigeration and low temperature field, thereby makes it as mix refrigerant natural gas liquefaction flow process precooling working medium, become possibility.Take R410A as example, under normal pressure, (0.101MPa) bubble point and dew-point temperature are respectively-51.44 ℃ and-51.36 ℃, under normal temperature, bubbling pressure and dew-point pressure are respectively 1.6522MPa and 1.6574MPa, and suitable hot physical property has guaranteed to provide good precooling effect.R410A is very extensive in the application of refrigerating field, usings it as precooling working medium, easy to operation, and has more the feature of environmental protection and security, and R410A is A1 in ASHRAE safety classification.Compared to propane, adopt R410A as precooling working medium, precooling temperature can further reduce, and reaches-50 ℃ of left and right simultaneously.
The mixing medium (Mixed Refrigerant, MR) that methane (C1), ethane/ethylene (C2), propane (C3) is major components of take also can be used as mix refrigerant natural gas liquefaction system precooling working medium.Depending on concrete applicable cases, in precooling MR, also can contain even pentane (C5) constituent element of butane (C4).With major cycle, MR is the same, and the MR proportioning that is used as precooling also needs through well-designed, so that the temperature difference of cold and hot logistics reaches minimum in precooling process, reduces the irreversible loss in precooling process, and then reduces precooling link power consumption.Because precooling MR component proportion can regulate, thereby can make precooling link more flexible.In general precooling MR, each component all can be taken from raw natural gas, and can reach the precooling temperature lower than propane pre-cooling, and this Pre-cooling Mode is extensive successful Application in LNG device (Dual Mixed Refrigerant, DMR).
It is also a kind of Pre-cooling Mode that has power savings advantages that the cold energy that utilizes high-pressure natural gas expansion to produce is treated coldly natural gas liquids in advance.Especially in natural valve Zhan Huo voltage regulating station, have stable pressure regulation load, in pressure regulation process, will there is considerable cold energy to produce, introducing in this course decompressor replaces throttling valve as voltage regulation component, natural gas temperature after expanding will reach very low level, as when normal-temperature natural-gas is expanded to 1Mpa by 3.7Mpa, can reach-50 ℃ of following precooling temperatures.Concrete liquefaction flow path scheme can be referring to public technologies such as patent ZL201110455516.1.
Along with the Sweet natural gas especially fast development of LNG industry, with the mix refrigerant liquefaction flow path of precooling, be day by day subject to inclining of the attention of scientific research and industrial application bad, this is mainly because the liquefaction that can significantly reduce whole liquefaction flow path by precooling link than power consumption, increases single line LNG liquefaction output simultaneously.Pre-cooling Mode itself is also developed the various ways such as HFC precooling, MR precooling and Sweet natural gas expansion precooling by the most traditional propane pre-cooling, precooling temperature is also progressively expanded to cold zone more by-35 ℃, this to further reduction liquefaction than power consumption and to increase single line LNG output all significant.
The major cycle mix refrigerant that is applied to precooling mix refrigerant natural gas liquefaction flow process requires and system structure design according to Pre-cooling Mode, liquefaction warm area, conventionally require to be formed by least 3 kinds of constituent elements, mix refrigerant shows as typical non-azeotropic feature, in cooling and liquefaction process, carry out condensation, evaporation, throttling expansion step by step, obtain the refrigerating duty of differing temps level, to reach the progressively object of cooling and natural gas liquids.The screening principle of each constituent element of mix refrigerant can be considered from the following aspects:
First, guarantee that mix refrigerant can reach in rational pressure range is enough to the low temperature that makes natural gas liquefaction required; Secondly, be to guarantee in liquefaction cycle in each thermal processing that irreversible loss drops to minimum, and then improve the thermodynamic(al) efficiency of liquefaction cycle, reduce liquefaction flow path power consumption levels; Again, each constituent element will have good physics, chemical stability and security; Finally, consider that natural gas liquefaction device is distributed in remote districts mostly, communications and transportation inconvenience, refrigeration agent constituent element source and economy are also important considerations, can in raw natural gas, the separated constituent element obtaining be upper choosings.
