Description

High-temperature gas heat exchanger of solid oxide fuel cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchange, in particular to a high-temperature gas heat exchanger of a solid oxide fuel cell.
Background
The Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a device for directly converting chemical energy in hydrocarbon fuel into electric energy through electrochemical reaction, and has the advantages of high conversion efficiency, no pollution, low fuel selectivity and the like. The SOFC independent power generation system comprises a pile and a peripheral system (BOP), and the working process is as follows: the air is input into a heat exchanger through a blower for preheating, and the preheated air enters an SOFC cathode; the hydrogen or other reformed hydrocarbon fuel gas enters the SOFC anode after being preheated by a heat exchanger; the air in the cathode and the fuel gas which is not reacted with the anode enter a combustion chamber for full combustion, and the hot flue gas after combustion enters a heat exchanger for preheating the cold air and the fuel gas; the high-temperature flue gas flowing out of the heat exchanger still has a certain utilization value, and can be used for secondary power generation of a turbine; the hot flue gas after the process can also meet the heat demand of household heating and hot water.
The current working temperature of SOFCs is mainly concentrated at medium-high temperature (600-800 ℃), so that the highest working temperature of the heat exchanger is required to be higher than 800 ℃, and the heat exchanger needs to withstand a large temperature gradient because the temperature of cold air/fuel gas is close to room temperature before entering the heat exchanger, so that high-temperature heat-resistant alloy is often used as a forming material of the heat exchanger. Because the heat exchanger has a complex structure, the heat exchanger cannot be directly manufactured by mechanical processing, and the structure of the heat exchanger needs to be split and then respectively molded and then spliced; because the hot flue gas, the cold flue gas flow channel and the external environment need to be separated absolutely, the absolute sealing of the splicing interface needs to be ensured. In order to ensure heat exchange efficiency, the steel plates used for the heat exchanger isolating plate are thinner, and different components can be welded only through high-temperature brazing. The heat exchanger is an important component of the BOP and it is necessary to ensure as high a heat exchange efficiency as possible. The high-temperature heat exchanger has a complex structure and a severe working environment, so that the processing difficulty is extremely high, and the high-temperature heat exchanger product applied to the solid oxide fuel cell is still seen in China.
