Description
Technical Field
The application relates to a heat exchange system for the side part of an aluminum electrolysis cell, an aluminum electrolysis cell system and a heat balance control method, and belongs to the technical field of aluminum electrolysis.
Background
How to meet our future increasing energy demands is one of the topics that we are currently discussing worldwide. If future power generation comes mainly from renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels, we must fundamentally change our energy utilization. Aluminum is one of the most important metals in the world today, now the second most widely used metal next to steel, and aluminum electrolysis is a high energy industry, thus also transitioning from just the end user of electricity to a "virtual battery" of the grid.
In recent years, new energy development is rapid, and the total capacity of the integrated machine is the first in the world, but new energy power generation has the characteristics of volatility, seasonality, randomness and the like. Current smelters are inflexible in terms of energy use and production because of the need to maintain the aluminium electrolysis process within a very narrow "heat balance" temperature range. When the current is increased, the temperature in the electrolytic tank is higher, and the electrolytic tank needs to be quickly cooled to prevent overheating or failure; when the current is reduced, heat preservation measures are needed to be timely taken to prevent the cooling and solidification of the metal (in the worst case, the metal production is completely lost; the cost for recovering the overall production is very high, and the time of several weeks or even months is needed). Therefore, aluminum electrolysis is required to maintain its own thermal equilibrium state while serving as a flexible load, in addition to accommodating an intermittent increase in new energy power generation.
The self-regulating capability of the aluminum electrolysis cell is limited, the process of reaching the heat balance state again only through the solidification and melting of the ledge is slow, and heat cannot be taken away timely or heat dissipation is reduced. Therefore, a reasonable heat preservation and heat dissipation measure is needed to be provided on the basis, so that heat dissipation or heat preservation can be rapidly carried out, the melting/solidification of the ledge due to overheat/supercooling is prevented, and the heat balance normal operation of the aluminum electrolysis cell is maintained.
At present, the proposed flexible operation measures of the aluminum electrolysis cell are mainly concentrated at the corresponding positions of the lateral ledge, and mainly concentrated in the aspect of heat dissipation. On one hand, the increase and the decrease of new energy electricity consumed by the aluminum electrolysis cell occur with the same probability, so that the heat preservation and the heat dissipation are important during the flexible operation of the aluminum electrolysis cell. On the other hand, the efficiency of the heat dissipation measures to the position of the shell is low only through the side ledge, when the tank is supercooled, the precipitation at the tank bottom is increased, so that the pressure drop at the tank bottom is increased, the current utilization rate is reduced, and the service life of the cathode is prolonged.
Chinese patent application publication CN105274569a discloses a forced ventilation structure of an aluminum electrolysis cell, which comprises a cell shell, a cradle frame and a cell edge board, wherein the cell shell, the cradle frame and the cell edge board form a box body, excessive heat at the side part is taken away by forced flow of gas in the box body, but the heat conductivity coefficients of the cell wall and the corresponding position of a cathode conductive metal rod are different, and the cell wall is set into a large area for heat dissipation, which is not beneficial to rationality control of the internal shape of the cell wall; and the energy consumption of the air blower is high, and the running cost is increased.
