The following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments that a person of ordinary skill in the art would obtain without making any inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 1, a steam reforming hydrogen generation reformer 30, such as a natural gas reforming hydrogen generation reformer, is disclosed that reforms a feed gas mixture (mixture of natural gas and steam) to produce a reformed gas (mixture of methane, hydrogen, CO2, and H2O).

The reforming tube 34 is provided with a catalyst required for reforming reaction, and the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of the burner 33 provides heat required for reforming reaction in the reforming tube 34.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the reformer 30 includes the mixture preheating device 20, and the body of the mixture preheating device 20 is provided below the inside of the furnace body of the reformer 30. The mixed gas preheating device 20 preheats the raw gas mixture from 200-300 ℃ to 500-600 ℃ by utilizing high-temperature flue gas in the furnace body. The mixture preheated by the mixture preheating device 20 is guided to the reformer tube 34 to undergo reforming reaction.
According to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 1 and 2A, the mixture preheating device 20 has a top and a bottom, the bottom of which is configured as a portion of the bottom of the reformer 30. The gas mixture preheating device 20 is provided with a smoke inlet 21a and a smoke outlet 21b, wherein the smoke inlet 21a is positioned in the furnace body and is close to the bottom of the gas mixture preheating device 20, the smoke outlet 21b is positioned at the bottom of the gas mixture preheating device 20, and the smoke outlet 21b is communicated with a smoke exhaust cylinder 32 outside the furnace body.

Referring to fig. 3A, the coil assembly 10 includes a first coiled tube group section 13A and a second coiled tube group section 13b formed by integrally coiling a plurality of branch tubes in parallel. Wherein, the integral parallel coiling means that a plurality of branch pipes 14 are parallel side by side and revolve around the same axis with the same radius. Preferably, the axis of the first coiled tubing section 13a coincides with the axis of the second coiled tubing section 13b.

In the preferred embodiment, the inlet merging pipe 11 and the outlet merging pipe 12 are each annular, and the plurality of branch pipes 14 are connected to the inlet merging pipe 11 and the outlet merging pipe 12 at circumferentially equal intervals. In general, a suitable number of the smoke inlets 21a and the branch pipes 14 may be provided according to the hydrogen production scale of the hydrogen production reformer, and for example, 2 to 8 may be provided, respectively. In particular, referring to FIG. 2B, the coil assembly 10 is provided with six legs 14. Correspondingly, in some preferred embodiments, referring to fig. 2B, in the air-fuel mixture preheating device 20, six smoke inlets 21a corresponding to the number of branch pipes 14 in the coil assembly 10 are circumferentially equally spaced below the side wall of the outer smoke cage 21, each smoke inlet 21a being disposed offset from the starting end 14a of each branch pipe 14 in a circumferential position.

It should be noted that, although the present invention uses the gas mixture as the preheating medium in the coil assembly, the gas mixture medium itself should not limit the protection scope of the structural configuration of the coil assembly, and the coil assembly of the present invention is equally considered as the protection scope of the present invention for providing the fluid channel for other fluid media requiring temperature increase.
With continued reference to the mixture preheating device 20 shown in fig. 2A, the smoke inlet 21a, the smoke outlet 21b, the mixture inlet 111, and the mixture outlet 121 are all disposed adjacent to the bottom of the device. The coil assembly 10 is disposed inside the hood 21, the coil assembly 10 including an ascending first coiled tube section 13a and a descending second coiled tube section 13b. The first coiled tubing section 13a provides a coiled upward flow path for the mixture, and the second coiled tubing section 13b provides a coiled downward flow path for the mixture. An intermediate chimney 22 is disposed between the first coiled tube section 13a and the second coiled tube section 13b, the intermediate chimney 22 extending in a direction from the first end 10a to the second end 10b of the coil assembly 10.

By arranging the flue gas guide cylinder (such as the middle flue pipe 22) in the mixed gas preheating device 20, the flue gas flow 50 and the mixed gas flow 40 can flow from bottom to top and then from top to bottom, so that the effect of enabling the flue gas flow 50 and the mixed gas flow 40 to flow in parallel and exchange heat is achieved, and cracking and carbonization of carbon-containing raw materials (such as natural gas) in the mixed gas can be avoided.
In some preferred embodiments, an inner chimney 24 is also provided in the hollow passage 15 inside the second coiled tubing section 13b of the coil assembly 10, the inner chimney 24 extending in a direction from the first end 10a to the second end 10b of the coil assembly 10. In the transverse (radial) direction, there is a spacing d4 between the second coiled tubing set section 13b and the inner chimney 24. When the radial dimension of the hollow passage 15 is larger, the inner chimney 24 is arranged, so that the smoke heat in the downstream heat exchange process can be gathered around the second coiled pipe group section 13b, and the heat exchange effect of the downstream section is improved.
Further, a first rib 22a is provided between the top of the inner chimney 24 and the top of the outer hood 21, and a second rib 22b is provided between the bottom of the inner chimney 24 and the bottom of the outer hood 21. The first rib plate and the second rib plate are arranged and used for supporting the inner chimney, so that the center of gravity of the inner chimney in the outer smoke cover is kept stable, and the whole mixed gas preheating device is firmer.
Referring to fig. 2A, the flow paths of the co-current upflow stage and co-current downflow stage flue gas stream 50 and the mixed gas stream 40, respectively, are described below.
Parallel flow uplink stage: the flue gas flow 50 enters the mixture preheating device 20 from the inlet 21a below the outer hood 21, and the flue gas flow 50 flows in the top direction in the space (the outer flow passage 51) defined between the intermediate chimney 22 and the outer hood 21. In correspondence with this process, the mixture gas flow 40 enters the mixture gas preheating device 20 from the mixture gas inlet connection end 25 at the bottom of the device, and the mixture gas flow 40 further flows from the mixture gas inlet 111 to the inlet merging pipe 11, is split by the inlet merging pipe 11 into the start end 14a of each branch pipe 14, and flows in the top direction spirally upward along the first coil group section 13a formed by coiling the respective branch pipe 14.
Parallel flow descending stage: after the flue gas flow 50 reaches the top, the direction of the deflection flows into the space (inner flow passage 52) defined inside the intermediate chimney 22, and continues to flow to the bottom, and finally, the flue gas flows to the outlet 21b at the bottom of the device. In response to this process, the mixed gas stream 40 reaches the second end 10b (adjacent the top) of the coil assembly 10, flows helically down the second coiled tube section 13b in the direction of the first end 10a (adjacent the bottom), merges into the outlet gas converging tube 12 from the terminal end 14b of each branch tube 14, and finally flows from the mixed gas outlet 121 of the outlet gas converging tube 12 to the mixed gas outlet connection 26 at the bottom of the device.
Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, in some preferred embodiments, a tube bundle fixing bracket 23 is further provided in the gas mixture preheating device 20, and the tube bundle fixing bracket 23 secures the coil assembly 10 in place within the outer hood 21, specifically, the tube bundle fixing bracket 23 secures the coil assembly 10 to the intermediate chimney 22. The first coiled tube group section 13a and the second coiled tube group section 13b are fixed to the intermediate chimney 22 by M tube bundle fixing brackets 23, respectively. Specifically, each tube bundle fixing bracket 23 includes N transverse brackets and 1 longitudinal bracket, the main body of the transverse brackets is V-shaped, the top end of the longitudinal bracket has a bending portion, the N transverse brackets divide the coiled tube group section into n+1 layers, the V-shaped opening ends of the transverse brackets are fixed to the middle chimney 22, and the longitudinal brackets are inserted into the V-shaped closed ends of each transverse bracket to connect the N transverse brackets into a whole. M, N may be an integer of 2 or more. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2A and 2B, m=3, n=6.
The mixed gas preheating device realizes the parallel flow heat exchange of the flue gas and the mixed gas, the temperature of the flue gas gradually decreases from the upstream direction to the downstream direction, and the temperature of the mixed gas gradually increases from the upstream direction to the downstream direction. On the basis of ensuring that both the mixed gas and the flue gas meet the requirement of an outlet temperature range, cracking carbonization of carbon-containing raw materials (such as natural gas) in the mixed gas can be avoided.
The foregoing is merely a few embodiments of the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art, based on the disclosure herein, may make various changes or modifications to the disclosed embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
