Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of LNG cold energy utilization, in particular to an LNG cold energy cascade utilization system and a control method.
Background
Along with the continuous prominence of environmental problems, the energy consumption structure of China is correspondingly changed. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has become an important strategic reserve energy source due to its advantages such as cleanliness and environmental protection. At present, china has become the largest natural gas importation country in the world, with importation LNG accounting for 53% of the total natural gas supply. In 2018, the total imported quantity of the Chinese LNG is approximately 5400 ten thousand tons, which is increased by 41.2 percent, the net imported increment is 1600 ten thousand tons, and the net imported increment accounts for 59.26 percent of the global increment, and is first in the world. In the future, china is still the country with the strongest demand for LNG market, and chinese LNG import capacity is expected to double in five years.
LNG is a low-temperature (-162 ℃) liquid mixture formed by deacidifying and dehydrating low-pollution natural gas and freezing and liquefying the low-temperature natural gas through a low-temperature process, and is used after being gasified by a gasifier in an LNG receiving station, and according to measurement and calculation, the gasification process of each ton of LNG is equivalent to the release of cold energy of 830MJ to 860 MJ. At present, china is greatly developing energy conservation and emission reduction, and recycling LNG cold energy, so that the LNG production cost is reduced, the energy conservation and emission reduction policies of China are met, and the method has important significance at present that fossil energy is gradually reduced and the demand is gradually increased. The LNG cold energy utilization modes are numerous, and the LNG cold energy utilization modes comprise LNG cold energy power generation, ice making, liquid CO2 and dry ice making, refrigeration houses, cryogenic crushing and the like.
Chinese patent CN110513932a discloses an LNG cold energy ice making system, which stores a coolant heat-exchanged with LNG in a coolant storage tank, and adjusts flow rates of LNG and the coolant to achieve stable operation of the LNG cold energy ice making system even when the gasification amount fluctuates greatly. However, the system does not realize gradient utilization of cold energy, and the cold energy utilization rate is low. Chinese patent CN105545390a uses coal-fired waste gas to heat the circulating working medium and LNG to cool the circulating working medium to realize that LNG cold energy is used for power generation, and simultaneously uses the coal-fired waste gas after LNG recooling after heat exchange with the circulating working medium and heat exchange with the circulating working medium to realize CO 2 Liquefying. The method realizes gradient utilization of the cold energy by using the LNG cold energy and the waste heat of the coal-fired waste gas in a combined way, but has poorer process flexibility, and if an LNG power generation system or CO 2 When the liquefaction system fails, the whole process flow is stopped, and the application under various working conditions cannot be well realized. The existing LNG cold energy utilization patent has no emergency measures when leakage and damage occur in the cold energy cascade utilization, the cold energy cascade utilization project is single, and the operation difficulty and the maintenance links are more.

3. For the LNG cold energy cascade utilization system, when an abnormal working condition occurs in a certain working section, the whole process is stopped. However, the method for cooling the data center and the refrigeration house by using the same single-component refrigerant well solves the problem. When the production is stopped due to the abnormal working condition of one of the cold energy power generation area, the data center or the refrigeration house area, the production of other areas is not affected.
In the following, an LNG vaporization station is taken as an example, and the refrigeration capacity is recycled, wherein the LNG vaporization scale of the LNG vaporization station is 500×104t/a, the vaporization flow rate is 200-560 t/h, the pre-vaporization temperature is-120 to-129 ℃, and the vaporization pressure is 8MPa. The pressure in the LNG storage tank is 4MPa. The LNG flow rate intended for this cold energy utilization process is 114t/h.
The LNG cold energy cascade utilization system is connected with the original gasification pressure regulating process in a parallel mode.
LNG used for the cold energy utilization process flow is gasified through the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and then is heated through the water bath type reheater, and is converged with the original pressure regulating pipeline.
After the corresponding process equipment is installed, the embodiment mixes and injects ethane and propane into a mixed refrigerant circulation loop according to the mass ratio of 5:5 to be used as a mixed refrigerant (C2C 3), wherein the mass flow is 110t/h; injecting propane into the single-component refrigerant circulation loop to serve as a single-component refrigerant (C3), wherein the mass flow is 62t/h; and (3) applying the CaCl2 water solution as a secondary refrigerant to a cold storage area and a data center area, wherein the mass flow is 320t/h and 650t/h respectively.
When the equipment works normally, LNG with the flow rate of 114t/h at the temperature of minus 162 ℃ of 0.4MPa from an LNG storage tank is pressurized to 8MPa by a booster pump, the temperature is raised to minus 159 ℃, the LNG is divided into two paths, one path sequentially enters a first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger respectively exchanges heat and gasifies with a C2C3 refrigerant, the other path enters a third heat exchanger to exchange heat and gasify with the C3 refrigerant, and after two gas-state natural gases are converged, the two gas-state natural gases are heated to 0 ℃ by a water bath type reheater and then are sent to an output pipeline network.
The temperature of the gaseous C2C3 refrigerant at the temperature of 0.2MPa and minus 19 ℃ is reduced to minus 61 ℃ and liquefied after the gaseous C2C3 refrigerant enters the first heat exchanger to exchange heat with the pressurized low-temperature natural gas, the low-temperature liquid C2C3 refrigerant is pressurized to 1.1MPa by a pressurizing pump, the temperature is divided into two parts after being increased to minus 60 ℃, one part enters the fourth heat exchanger, the other part enters the sixth heat exchanger to exchange heat with the gaseous C3 refrigerant from the data center and the refrigeration house respectively, the temperature of the liquid C2C3 refrigerant is increased to minus 24 ℃, then enters the fifth heat exchanger to be heated to 60 ℃ by normal pressure and hot water at the temperature of 70 ℃ and gasified, and then enters an expansion generator to be expanded to generate electricity, the temperature is reduced to minus 19 ℃, and then the C2C3 enters the first heat exchanger to the next circulation.
The low-temperature liquid C3 refrigerant with the pressure of 0.2MPa and the temperature of minus 32 ℃ from the C3 refrigerant storage tank is divided into two streams, wherein one stream enters an eighth heat exchanger to exchange heat with 30wt% CaCl2 water solution with the temperature of minus 5 ℃ from a refrigeration house, then the temperature rises to minus 10 ℃ and is gasified, and the other stream enters the seventh heat exchanger to exchange heat with 30wt% CaCl2 water solution with the temperature of 12 ℃ from a data center, then the temperature rises to minus 10 ℃ and is gasified; the gaseous C3 refrigerant after heat exchange in the data center is divided into two streams, one stream enters a sixth heat exchanger to exchange heat with the low-temperature C2C3 refrigerant of 1.1MPa and minus 60 ℃ after being pressurized by a second mixed refrigerant pressurizing pump, and the temperature is reduced to minus 32 ℃ and liquefied; the second strand is divided into 3 strands after being converged with the gaseous C3 refrigerant from the refrigeration house; one enters the second heat exchanger to exchange heat with the low-temperature natural gas from the first heat exchanger, and the other enters the third heat exchanger to exchange heat with the low-temperature natural gas, and the temperature is reduced and liquefied and then enters the C3 refrigerant storage tank. The third strand enters a fourth heat exchanger, exchanges heat with a low-temperature C2C3 refrigerant of 1.1MPa and minus 60 ℃ pressurized by a second mixed refrigerant pressurizing pump, and is converged with a liquid C3 refrigerant from a C3 refrigerant storage tank after temperature reduction and liquefaction, and enters the next cycle.
30wt% CaCl2 water solution from the cold storage, wherein the pressure is 0.1013MPa (normal pressure), the temperature is-5 ℃, the temperature is reduced to-20 ℃ after entering an eighth heat exchanger to exchange heat with C3, the cold storage is used for refrigerating, and the temperature of the CaCl2 water solution after the refrigerating is increased to-5 ℃ and enters the next cycle; 30wt% CaCl2 water solution from the data center has the pressure of 0.1013MPa (normal pressure) and the temperature of 12 ℃, enters a seventh heat exchanger to exchange heat with C3, then the temperature is reduced to 5 ℃, enters the data center to refrigerate, and after the refrigeration, the CaCl2 water solution temperature is up to 12 ℃ and enters the next cycle.
When the expansion power generation process is in abnormal working condition and needs to be stopped, only the second flow regulating valve, the sixth flow regulating valve and the eighth flow regulating valve are required to be closed so as to stop the operation of the C2C3 refrigerant circulation loop; meanwhile, the LNG flow entering the original gasification pressure regulating system of the factory station is increased to maintain the normal gasification of LNG, and the normal operation of the LNG gasification station, the refrigeration house and the data center can be ensured. At the moment, the gaseous C3 from the data center does not enter the sixth heat exchanger to exchange heat and liquefy with the C2C3 refrigerant, but directly merges with the gaseous C3 from the cold storage area, and enters the third heat exchanger to exchange heat with the LNG. In addition, as the flow of the gaseous C3 entering the third heat exchanger is increased, the opening of the eighth flow regulating valve is required to be increased so as to maintain the normal cooling of the data center and the refrigeration house; therefore, although the cold energy power generation area stops producing, the C3 refrigerant can still provide cold energy for the refrigeration house and the data center, and the normal operation of other areas is ensured.
When abnormal working conditions occur in the process of the data center area, only the seventh flow regulating valve is required to be closed so as to stop the single-component refrigerant from entering the seventh heat exchanger to exchange heat with the secondary refrigerant; and closing the ninth flow regulating valve to reduce the heat exchange amount of the single-component refrigerant circulation loop, so that the normal operation of the refrigeration house and the cold energy power generation area can be ensured. At this time, the liquid C3 refrigerant is not split, and is entirely sent to the cold storage area to exchange heat with the brine.
When the abnormal working condition occurs in the cold storage area, the fifth flow regulating valve is only required to be closed to stop the single-component refrigerant from entering the eighth heat exchanger to exchange heat with the second-stage refrigerant, and the ninth flow regulating valve is required to be closed to reduce the heat exchange quantity of the single-component refrigerant circulation loop, so that the normal operation of the data center and the cold energy power generation area can be ensured.
In summary, the embodiment of the invention provides a device for reducing the operation cost and having simple operation. By using the mixed refrigerant as the refrigerant of the expansion power generation circulation pipeline, the single-component refrigerant is used as the refrigerant of the refrigeration house area process and the data center area process, the temperature utilization range is wide, and the efficient gradient utilization of cold energy is realized. The system can reduce the overall investment of materials, improve the automation degree of projects, and does not increase new potential safety hazards. According to the embodiment, different fault conditions of the expansion power generation area, the data center area and the cold store area are set, and the production of other areas is not affected when the abnormal working condition of one area needs to be stopped through different adjustment modes. The relative independence of each process section of LNG cold energy cascade utilization is improved, the operation elasticity and fault tolerance of the whole project are improved, and the economic influence caused by faults is reduced. Meanwhile, the embodiments are simple and easy to implement, and can be suitable for the vast range of projects of LNG cold energy utilization at present.
