Description

Fresh water-electricity combined supply system with coupling of fuel cell complementary energy and absorption type water generator
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy, and particularly relates to a fuel cell and absorption type water generator technology.
Technical Field
China is the most populated country in the world, and energy and water consumption from the construction industry accounts for a considerable proportion of the total energy consumption of the country. Currently, the energy source for buildings is mainly provided by fossil fuel power plants, which generate large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO)2) And the like. Meanwhile, in areas lacking fresh water reserves, traditional thermal desalination plants are mostly utilized to prepare fresh water, and the thermal energy required by the equipment is still provided by burning fossil fuels. Therefore, the government of China invests huge funds, and the existing 'new energy' system, including fuel cells, solar energy, water desalination based on membrane distillation and other technologies, is further improved to improve the available energy capacity of human beings, and simultaneously reduce harmful emission of carbon dioxide and the like. However, the new energy technology has technical problems of high cost, insufficient energy utilization efficiency and the like, so that a huge optimization space is provided.
Fuel Cells (FCs) are an energy technology that can solve various global environmental problems, and have advantages of no pollution, high efficiency, and being renewable. The basic principle of the method is that the electrochemical reaction process of hydrogen and oxygen generates electric energy and water (both are high-humidity gas):
H2→2H++2e-
(1/2)O2+2H++2e-→H2O
there are many types of FC in current manufacturing, and each type has its characteristic operating temperature range. For example, the low temperature proton exchange membrane (LT-PEMFC) has a working temperature in the range of 20 deg.C to 80 deg.C, an Alkalinity (AFC) in the range of 20 deg.C to 90 deg.C, a high temperature proton exchange membrane (HT-PEMFC) in the range of 600 deg.C to 1000 deg.C, etc.
Since FC involves an electrochemical process, it is not limited by carnot efficiency compared to fossil combustion, and thus has a higher theoretical power generation efficiency. FC has been widely used in various fields such as electric vehicles, electric locomotives, or micro cogeneration systems (m-CHP) that provide heat and electricity to public buildings, so it has a great potential to replace fossil energy. In addition, FC has the potential for liquid water generation according to the reaction equation described above. According to theoretical analysis, assuming that the operating power of FC is 2000W and the power generation efficiency is 0.5, about 1.08kg/hr of water is obtained, which is enough for drinking water. In fact, the scheme of recovering drinking water by FC has been implemented on Space Shuttle (Space Shuttle) in the united states, and the analysis data proves that the amount of water recovered by FC is comparable to the purity of distilled water, and thus is suitable for daily life. In 2011, an author of Tibaquira et al studied a scheme for recovering liquid water from tail gases of 1kW LT-PEMFC and 300kW MCFC, and found that the liquid water recovered by LT-PEMFC is relatively pure and suitable for drinking water. However, it has also been found that the ratio of liquid water to the total amount of water produced by the FC (hereinafter referred to as FC water yield) can only reach 8% without any additional auxiliary equipment, and is therefore insufficient for everyday use. The main reasons for the lower values of FC water yield are: the reaction process of FC also generates a large amount of waste heat, resulting in the FC tail gas temperature being far away from the dew point temperature. Although this problem may reduce the FC tail gas temperature by cooling or refrigeration equipment, it involves additional energy consumption and makes the system more complex. Thus, the reaction water recovery scheme for FC is currently considered to be less practical and has no commercial potential.
In areas where fresh water sources are scarce, human water demand is typically met by desalination plants. The water desalination technology can be realized through a thermodynamic process or a mechanical work (such as reverse osmosis), but the two schemes have to consume a large amount of energy (the former needs a high-temperature heat source, and the latter needs electric energy), and can be realized only near large saline water sources such as seasides. An Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) is a relatively new technology, which can convert moisture in the atmosphere into liquid water, and can be realized by a refrigeration and adsorbent method at present. In particular, the refrigerated approach (abbreviated as Cooling AWG, cabg) is achieved by Cooling the atmosphere to lower the temperature of the air below the dew point temperature to produce liquid water, which can be achieved by a vapor compression cycle. This technology has received a great deal of commercial interest, including products such as "H2O Machine", "Sky Water" and "EcoRBlue". In addition to schemes employing VCC, other cabg schemes exist in research, including semiconductor thermoelectric coolers and absorption refrigerators. However, the cabg must consume electrical energy to obtain refrigeration capacity, which produces lower water yields at lower Relative Humidity (RH, e.g., below 0.5), and therefore is generally more expensive to operate than traditional methods of taking water from fresh water sources. Here, a recent patent US20180209123a1 proposes adding a humidifier upstream of the cAWG technology to humidify the input air and improve water recovery. But this solution requires additional input of moisture and is therefore not advantageous from a resource and system complexity point of view.
The adsorbent absorbs moisture of the atmosphere using a highly hydrophilic material, and when the adsorbent is saturated, liquid water or steam can be obtained by releasing the amount of water in a high temperature environment, which is called a regeneration process of the adsorbent. The process of absorbing the water amount by the adsorbent is passive and does not require work, and the adsorbent can have a large water amount recovery rate even when RH is 0.2 or less. However, the water release process transient response of the sorbent solution is slow (several hours each). In addition, the adsorbent materials all have a rated regeneration temperature, i.e. a rated temperature must be reached to realize the water release process; the regeneration temperature is between 50 and 80 ℃, so the technology needs to add heat energy, and finally, the problem of low energy efficiency also exists.
Although FC has high power generation efficiency and has high water production potential with atmospheric water generator technology, both have various technical problems. Currently, FC has no effective solution for recovering water, and atmospheric water generator technology requires high energy consumption to produce sufficient water, and water production is limited in low RH, which is generally not satisfactory for daily drinking.

The scheme is equivalent to increase the dew point temperature of input air, so that larger water quantity can be recovered under the working condition of the same fresh water generating device. The heat energy of the FC is supplied to the fresh water producing device, and the electric energy is supplied to the user. Therefore, compared with the traditional atmospheric water generator, the invention has more efficient fresh water-electricity combined supply potential in dry and hot areas such as deserts.
2. At present, the solution of applying the adsorbent to the fresh water production device is generally realized by electric heating or solar heat collection, while the former must consume extra electric energy, and the latter has intermittent problems (such as not realized at night or in cloudy days). In addition, a large amount of residual heat and enough water for drinking water are generated in the reaction process of the FC, and the residual heat is low in grade (below 80 ℃) on the common LT-PEMFC or AFC, so that the residual heat is not meaningful in other applications. Here, the waste heat of the present invention can be applied to regenerate the adsorbent (i.e., to effect the water release process), and the tail gas of the FC is supplied to the cold side of the adsorbent to absorb the water amount. Therefore, compared with the traditional cWG technology, the scheme avoids a large amount of electric energy consumption and liquid water generation, the adsorbent is utilized to avoid additional energy input, and finally, the efficient and energy-saving fresh water-electricity combined supply system is realized.
3. The invention improves the combined supply efficiency of fresh water and electricity, avoids the problem of high energy consumption brought by a water desalination plant, and realizes a combined supply scheme of fresh water and electricity with high energy efficiency.
4. The invention utilizes the heat storage device to store the residual heat of the FC, and can still perform the atmospheric water generation process because the state is equivalent to directly providing the atmospheric water to the fresh water production device when the FC is not operated. Therefore, the system can continuously generate liquid water regardless of the operation of FC, and is more stable and reliable than the existing solar-based water generation scheme.
