In a large-scale coastal LNG receiving station, in order to meet the conveying requirement of a natural gas pipeline network, LNG needs to be pressurized and gasified into normal-temperature gas by a high-pressure pump and then is sent into the natural gas pipeline network. During LNG vaporization, LNG releases a large amount of cold energy. The cold energy released in the LNG gasification process is recycled, so that the energy utilization efficiency is improved, and the policy requirements of energy conservation, emission reduction and development of low-carbon economy advocated by the state are met.

Example 1
In the LNG cold energy power generation process, the circulating working medium generally adopts seawater as a heat source for reheating, so that the circulating working medium is gasified to enter a power generation expansion machine for expansion. In winter, the temperature of seawater is low, so that the reheating requirement cannot be met, and meanwhile, the temperature of the circulating working medium entering the expansion generator is low, so that the generating capacity of the expansion generator is low. Therefore, when the temperature of the seawater is lower than 5-10 ℃ in winter, the cold energy power generation device of the large LNG receiving station has the problems of low power generation capacity and even incapability of normal operation, and great influence is brought to the operation of the cold energy power generation device.
In order to solve the problem that the power generation capacity of a cold energy power generation device is low or even the cold energy power generation device cannot normally operate due to the influence of a reheat heat source on a large LNG receiving station in winter, the invention provides a liquefied natural gas cold energy power generation device, which is structurally shown in an attached drawing 1. The device comprises a Rankine cycle power generation unit 1, an LNG liquid phase pipe 2, a reheating unit 3 and an auxiliary heating unit 4. The Rankine cycle power generation unit 1 is internally loaded with working media such as propane and the like, and flows in an internal circulation mode. When the working medium expands from a high-pressure gas phase state to a low-pressure gas phase state, the volume expands to apply work outwards, and therefore power generation is achieved. The LNG liquid phase pipe 2 is used for introducing LNG in a liquid phase state to the Rankine cycle power generation unit 1 and exchanging heat with working media in a low-pressure gas phase state in the Rankine cycle power generation unit 1. The working medium in the gas phase state is cooled into the working medium in the low-temperature liquid phase state by utilizing the low temperature of the liquid-phase LNG flowing in the LNG liquid phase pipe 2. The reheating unit 3 is filled with reheating media such as water, a circulation passage of the working medium in a low-temperature liquid phase state is immersed in the reheating media, and the pressurized working medium in a high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state is reheated to the working medium in an overheated high-temperature gas phase state. And the auxiliary heating unit 4 gradually extends from the outside of the reheating unit to the vicinity of the bottom in the reheating unit to heat the reheating medium. Adopt the liquefied natural gas cold energy power generation facility in this embodiment, the integrated level is high, does not receive external environment factor to influence, can guarantee that LNG cold energy power generation moves steadily all the year round.
Specifically, the Rankine cycle power generation unit 1 comprises an expansion generator set 11, a first heat exchanger 12, a working medium booster pump 13 and a second heat exchanger 14.
The first heat exchanger 12 is a stainless steel U-shaped heat exchanger, and has a first heat exchange channel 121 and a second heat exchange channel 122 which are independent. The LNG liquid phase pipe 2 is connected to the inlet end of the first heat exchange path 121. The expansion generator set 11 is composed of a radial turbo expander, a generator and the like, and the outlet end of the expansion generator set is connected with the inlet end of the second heat exchange channel 122 through the first pipeline 15. The working medium booster pump 13 adopts a barrel-type immersed pump, and the inlet end of the barrel-type immersed pump is connected with the outlet end of the second heat exchange channel 122 through a second pipeline 16. The outlet end of the working medium booster pump 13 is connected with the inlet end of the second heat exchanger 14 through a third pipeline 17. The outlet end of the second heat exchanger 14 and the inlet end of the expansion generator set 11 are connected by a fourth pipe 18. The second heat exchanger 14 is immersed in the reheating medium.
When the working medium in the gas phase state and the LNG in the liquid phase state flow in the first heat exchange channel 121 and the second heat exchange channel 122, respectively, heat exchange is performed, and the working medium in the gas phase state is cooled to become the working medium in the low temperature liquid phase state. When the working medium in the high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state flows through the second heat exchanger 14, the working medium is converted into the working medium in the superheated high-temperature high-pressure gas phase state. When the working medium in the superheated high-temperature high-pressure gas phase state passes through the expansion generator set 11, the volume expands, so that the expansion generator set 11 does work outwards to generate electricity.
The reheating unit 3 includes a water tank 31 and an exhaust port 32.
The water pool 31 is of a closed structure and is filled with reheating media such as seawater. The reheating medium level needs to be submerged in the second heat exchanger 14. The exhaust port 32 communicates with the top of the sump 31. The liquid level of the reheating medium in the water tank 31 is set according to the requirement and is supplemented in time so as to maintain the liquid level.

The combustion chamber 421 of the burner 42 is gradually submerged into the sump 31 and extends below the second heat exchanger 14. After the fuel gas is combusted, the generated high-temperature flue gas overflows from the combustion chamber 421, and then is contacted and mixed with the reheating medium to heat the reheating medium.
In this embodiment, the principle of the lng cold energy power generation apparatus is as follows:
the high pressure LNG enters the first heat exchanger 12 to transfer cold energy to the working medium in a gas phase state, so that the working medium is cooled to a working medium in a low temperature liquid phase state. The working medium in the low-temperature liquid phase state enters a working medium booster pump 13 to be boosted, and the working medium in the high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state enters a second heat exchanger 14 after being boosted. In the reheating unit 3, the second heat exchanger 14 exchanges heat, and the working medium in the high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state is heated and gasified to the high-pressure gas phase state, and then enters the expansion generator set 11. The volume of the working medium expands, in the expansion process, the expander drives the generator to do work outwards, so that the LNG cold energy is converted into electric energy, the expanded working medium in the low-pressure gas phase state enters the first heat exchanger 12 again, and a cycle is completed.
The heat required when the working medium in the high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state is heated and gasified to the high-pressure superheated gas phase state is provided by the reheating medium in the reheating unit 3.
The large LNG receiving station adopts high-pressure LNG with the pressure of 9.5MPa and the temperature of-145 ℃, the temperature of seawater in winter is 5 ℃, and the circulating working medium adopts propane. Under the working condition, the power generation amount of each ton of LNG is about 19 KW. By adopting the device, the LNG cold energy can be efficiently utilized, and the stable power generation state throughout the year can be maintained.
Example 2
In the LNG cold energy power generation process, the low-temperature natural gas and the circulating working medium generally adopt seawater as a heat source for reheating so as to meet the requirement of natural gas output temperature, and the circulating working medium is gasified so as to enter a power generation expansion machine for expansion. In winter, the temperature of seawater is low, so that the low-temperature natural gas reheating requirement cannot be met, and meanwhile, the temperature of the circulating working medium entering the expansion generator is low, so that the power generation capacity of the expansion generator is low. Therefore, when the temperature of the seawater is lower than 5-10 ℃ in winter, the cold energy power generation device of the large LNG receiving station has the problems of low power generation capacity and even incapability of normal operation, and great influence is brought to the operation of the cold energy power generation device.
In order to solve the problems that the power generation capacity of a cold energy power generation device is low and even the cold energy power generation device cannot normally operate due to the influence of a complex heat source on a large LNG receiving station in winter and the requirement on the temperature of the natural gas output cannot be met, the invention provides a liquefied natural gas cold energy power generation device which is shown in an attached figure 2.

The LNG liquid phase pipe 2 is used for introducing LNG in a liquid phase state to the Rankine cycle power generation unit 1 and exchanging heat with the working medium in a gas phase state in the Rankine cycle power generation unit 1. The working medium in the gas phase state is cooled into the working medium in the low-temperature liquid phase state by utilizing the low temperature of the liquid-phase LNG flowing in the LNG liquid phase pipe 2. The reheating unit 3 is filled with reheating media such as water, a flow passage of a pressurized working medium in a high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state is immersed in the reheating media, and a flow passage of low-temperature natural gas in a gas phase state is immersed in the reheating media, so that the working medium in the high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state is gasified into the working medium in a high-pressure superheated gas phase state.

the high pressure LNG enters the first heat exchanger 12 to transfer cold energy to the working medium in a gas phase state, so that the working medium is cooled to a working medium in a low temperature liquid phase state. The working medium in the low-temperature liquid phase state enters a working medium booster pump 13 to be boosted, and the working medium in the low-temperature liquid phase state after being boosted enters a second heat exchanger 14. In the reheating unit 3, the second heat exchanger 14 exchanges heat, and the working medium in the high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state is gasified into a high-pressure superheated gas phase state and then enters the expansion generator set 11. The volume of the working medium expands, in the expansion process, the expander drives the generator to do work outwards, so that the LNG cold energy is converted into electric energy, the expanded working medium in a gas phase state enters the first heat exchanger 12 again, and a cycle is completed.
The LNG exchanges heat in the first heat exchanger 12, then enters the third heat exchanger 51, and enters the gas supply pipe network after being reheated to the temperature required by the external pipeline network.

The large LNG receiving station is high-pressure LNG with the pressure of 9.5MPa and the temperature of-145 ℃, the temperature of seawater in winter is 5 ℃, and the circulating working medium is propane. Under the working condition, the power generation amount of each ton of LNG is about 19 KW, and the liquefied natural gas can be reheated to normal temperature. By adopting the device, the LNG cold energy can be efficiently utilized, and the stable power generation state throughout the year can be maintained.
Example 3
In the LNG cold energy power generation process, the low-temperature natural gas and the circulating working medium generally adopt seawater as a heat source for reheating so as to meet the requirement of natural gas output temperature, and the circulating working medium is gasified so as to enter a power generation expansion machine for expansion. In winter, the temperature of seawater is low, so that the low-temperature natural gas reheating requirement cannot be met, and meanwhile, the temperature of the circulating working medium entering the expansion generator is low, so that the power generation capacity of the expansion generator is low. Therefore, when the temperature of the seawater is lower than 5-10 ℃ in winter, the cold energy power generation device of the large LNG receiving station has the problems of low power generation capacity and even incapability of normal operation, and great influence is brought to the operation of the cold energy power generation device.
In order to solve the problems that the power generation capacity of a cold energy power generation device is low and even the cold energy power generation device cannot normally operate due to the influence of a complex heat source on a large LNG receiving station in winter and the requirement on the temperature of the natural gas output cannot be met, the invention provides a liquefied natural gas cold energy power generation device which is shown in an attached drawing 3. The device comprises a Rankine cycle power generation unit 1, an LNG liquid phase pipe 2, a reheating unit 3, an auxiliary heating unit 4 and an LNG gas supply unit 5. The Rankine cycle power generation unit 1 is internally loaded with working media such as propane and the like, and flows in an internal circulation mode. When the working medium expands from a high-pressure gas phase state to a low-pressure gas phase state, the volume expands to apply work outwards, and therefore power generation is achieved. The LNG liquid phase pipe 2 is used for introducing LNG in a liquid phase state to the Rankine cycle power generation unit 1 and exchanging heat with the working medium in a gas phase state in the Rankine cycle power generation unit 1. The working medium in the gas phase state is cooled into the working medium in the low-temperature liquid phase state by utilizing the low temperature of the liquid-phase LNG flowing in the LNG liquid phase pipe 2. The reheating unit 3 is filled with reheating media such as water, a flow passage of working media in a low-temperature liquid phase state is immersed in the reheating media, and a flow passage of natural gas in a low-temperature gas phase is immersed in the reheating media, so that the working media in the low-temperature liquid phase state are gasified to the working media in a superheated gas phase state. And the auxiliary heating unit 4 gradually extends from the outside of the reheating unit to the position near the bottom in the reheating unit to heat the reheating medium, so that the reheating effect on the working medium is compensated when the temperature of the reheating medium is lower than 5-10 ℃ in winter. And the LNG gas supply unit 5 is reheated to the temperature required by the external transmission pipe network and then enters the gas supply pipe network.
Adopt the liquefied natural gas cold energy power generation facility in this embodiment, the integrated level is high, does not receive external environment factor to influence, can guarantee that LNG cold energy power generation moves steadily all the year round. Meanwhile, the lng cold energy power generation apparatus in this embodiment may be switched between a power generation mode and a gas supply mode.
Specifically, the Rankine cycle power generation unit 1 comprises an expansion generator set 11, a first heat exchanger 12, a working medium booster pump 13 and a second heat exchanger 14.
The first heat exchanger 12 is a stainless steel U-shaped heat exchanger, and has a first heat exchange channel 121 and a second heat exchange channel 122 which are independent. The LNG liquid phase pipe 2 is connected to the inlet end of the first heat exchange path 121. The outlet end of the first heat exchange channel 121 is connected to the LNG feed unit. The expansion generator set 11 is composed of a radial turbo expander, a generator and the like, and the outlet end of the expansion generator set is connected with the inlet end of the second heat exchange channel 122 through the first pipeline 15. The working medium booster pump 13 adopts a barrel-type immersed pump, and the inlet end of the barrel-type immersed pump is connected with the outlet end of the second heat exchange channel 122 through a second pipeline 16. The outlet end of the working medium booster pump 13 is connected with the inlet end of the second heat exchanger 14 through a third pipeline 17. The outlet end of the second heat exchanger 14 and the inlet end of the expansion generator set 11 are connected by a fourth pipe 18. The second heat exchanger 14 is immersed in the reheating medium.
When the working medium in the gas phase state and the LNG in the liquid phase state flow in the first heat exchange channel 121 and the second heat exchange channel 122, respectively, heat exchange is performed, and the working medium in the gas phase state is cooled to become the working medium in the low temperature liquid phase state. When the working medium in the high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state flows through the second heat exchanger 14, the working medium is converted into the working medium in the high-pressure superheated gas phase state. When the working medium in the high-pressure superheated gas phase state passes through the expansion generator set 11, the high-pressure superheated gas phase state is converted into the working medium in the low-pressure gas phase state, and the volume is expanded, so that the expansion generator set 11 does work outwards to generate electricity. And after heat exchange, the liquid-phase LNG is heated, and enters an air supply pipe network after further reheating.
The reheating unit 3 includes a water tank 31 and an exhaust port 32.

After the fuel gas is combusted, the generated high-temperature flue gas overflows from the combustion chamber 421 and contacts and mixes with the reheating medium to heat the reheating medium
The LNG supply unit 5 includes a third heat exchanger 51 and a bypass valve 54.
The third heat exchanger 51 is immersed in the reheating medium and is located above the second heat exchanger 14 and simultaneously above the position of the outlet of the combustion chamber 421. The inlet end of the third heat exchanger 51 is connected to the outlet end of the first heat exchange channel 121 via a fifth conduit 52.

In the reheating unit 3, the second heat exchanger 14 exchanges heat, and the working medium in the high-pressure low-temperature liquid phase state is gasified and heated to the overheated high-pressure gas phase state, and then enters the expansion generator set 11. The volume of the working medium expands, in the expansion process, the expander drives the generator to do work outwards, so that the LNG cold energy is converted into electric energy, the expanded working medium in a gas phase state enters the first heat exchanger 12 again, and a cycle is completed.
