Description

Heat pump driven air direct carbon trapping device based on TVSA circulation
Technical Field
The invention relates to a direct air carbon capture device and a heat pump device, in particular to a heat pump driven air direct carbon capture system based on TVSA.
Background
The global temperature is continuously rising and the climate is becoming increasingly warm. The main reason for climate warming is that human society emits a large amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And CO 2 As the most widely used greenhouse gas, the current emissions have reached 340 million tons per year. To mitigate global warming, achieving carbon neutralization requires a great deal of development of carbon negative emission technology.
DAC technology is a method for capturing CO directly from the atmosphere by utilizing physical and chemical actions 2 Due to the flexible arrangement, small occupied area of land and water resources, and capability of realizing the clean removal of CO from the atmosphere 2 Therefore, it has become a hot point of research in carbon capture technology in recent years.
The main research direction of the current DAC technology is how to prepare high-performance CO 2 Adsorbents, however, are not very sufficient in terms of system integration and optimization design for DAC trapping devices. In the DAC trapping process, air passes through an absorber under the driving of a fan, and CO in the air 2 Is adsorbed by the adsorbent. Not only CO is adsorbed by the amine functional adsorbent 2 And also absorb a large amount of H at the same time 2 O. Thus, the outlet of the adsorber is low in CO 2 Dry process gas exhaust. CO from TVSA cycle during desorption 2 Desorption is carried out by a cyclic mode of variable temperature vacuum (Temperature Vaccum Swing Adsorption, TVSA). To obtain high concentration of CO 2 The desorbed desorption gas needs to pass through a condenser to make most of H 2 O is condensed off, and the rest is CO with high concentration 2 Product gas.
The primary energy change during DAC cycling is the temperature change process. In the adsorption process, since adsorption is an exothermic process, the temperature of the adsorbent is continuously increased as the adsorption process proceeds. The increase of the adsorption temperature can seriously reduce the equilibrium adsorption quantity of the adsorbent and affect the trapping performance of the DAC device, so that the adsorbent needs to be cooled in the adsorption process. The cooling mode can be divided into two modes of internal cooling of the adsorbent and precooling of the treated air. In addition, in the desorption switching process, the adsorbent and the adsorber are in a higher desorption temperature state, and the temperature of the adsorbent and the adsorber also needs to be reduced by a cooling mode. In the desorption process, the desorption gas needs to be condensed to obtain the high-concentration product gas, and the cold energy required by condensation is also one of the energy input indispensable in the DAC device.
A big problem limiting the large-scale arrangement of DAC devices is the high capture energy consumption. For the heat input required during operation of the DAC device, the capture energy consumption can be reduced by employing efficient thermodynamic equipment. A heat pump is a common heating device with a high COP and requires only a small power consumption to achieve a high heat supply. There are currently less research on heat pump and DAC devices, and energy coupling is not sufficient. As disclosed in patent document CN115479406a, a carbon-absorbing air source heat pump composite system is disclosed, in which a DAC device is an absorption type, and the heat pump is used to collect the heat of adsorption in the operation process of the DAC device to heat a building. Patent CN115077130B discloses a double-heat source heat pump type air-carbon direct capturing system, which comprises a waste heat recovery system, a high-temperature heat supply heat pump system and air CO 2 A continuous direct capture system. The waste heat source and adsorption heat in the DAC trapping process are utilized to provide a heat source for the high-temperature heat supply pump, so that double heat source supply is realized.
As can be seen from the foregoing, the current DAC technology has many problems in terms of energy utilization and integration:
(1) The higher capture energy consumption of the DAC mainly comes from the heat input during desorption and the cold input during adsorption.
(2) There are many parts of the DAC device that can be used for energy recovery during operation. Such as high temperature sensible heat after desorption, heat released during adsorption, and corresponding required cold, sensible heat of drying air at the adsorption outlet, etc.
The DAC device and the heat pump equipment are combined to remarkably reduce the energy consumption of DAC trapping, but in the current research, only the heat pump equipment is often used for absorbing heat from the DAC equipment, or only the hot end of the heat pump is used for supplying heat for the DAC equipment, so that the utilization of cold end cold energy of the heat pump is ignored, and the efficient utilization of the heat pump equipment is not realized.

After the first adsorption bed 5 finishes desorption and the second adsorption bed 6 finishes adsorption, the refrigerant in the first adsorption bed 5 is still in a high-temperature and high-pressure state, and the refrigerant in the second adsorption bed 6 is still in a low-temperature and low-pressure state; in order to reduce the internal cooling and internal heat energy loss during mode conversion, the system increases the cycle back heating process; during the cycle regeneration, the second compressor 46 should first be turned off and the fourteenth switching valve 49 opened; at this time, the first adsorbent bed 5 and the second adsorbent bed 6 are directly communicated through the four-way reversing valve 48 and the fourteenth switching valve 49, and the refrigerants in the two adsorbent beds instantaneously undergo a severe mixing process, so that the liquid refrigerant in the first adsorbent bed 5 in a high-pressure state is rapidly evaporated, the heat remaining in the desorption process is absorbed, and the first adsorbent bed 5 is pre-cooled; at the same time, the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second adsorption bed 6 is rapidly condensed and simultaneously releases heat to preheat the second adsorption bed 6, thereby completing the cycle regenerative process.
After the circulation back heating is completed, the corresponding passage is adjusted through the four-way reversing valve 48, so that the inlet of the compressor is connected with the heat exchange passage of the second adsorption bed which is about to enter the desorption state to provide desorption heat; the outlet of the first adsorption bed heat exchange passage which is about to enter the adsorption state is connected with the inlet of the compressor, so as to provide adsorption cooling.
Advantages are:
in the embodiment, an evaporator and a condenser in the heat pump subsystem are directly replaced by an adsorption bed and a desorption bed in the DAC subsystem, a second compressor is utilized to generate high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant, the desorption bed is heated by means of the condensation heat release process to promote desorption, a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is generated by an expansion valve to provide a cold source for the adsorption bed, and a low-temperature environment is created for condensation of water vapor; the refrigerant is utilized to directly exchange heat, so that the energy loss caused by heat exchange between the refrigerant and other media is avoided, the condensation temperature of the heat pump subsystem can be effectively reduced, and the evaporation temperature of the heat pump subsystem can be improved, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the heat pump subsystem and the overall performance of the device; meanwhile, the cold source provided by the cooling tower and the evaporative cooler is used for primary condensation and deep condensation, so that the condensation energy consumption is reduced, and the CO is also improved 2 Is a trapping concentration of (1); in addition, through the circulation backheating process, the aim of preheating the adsorption bed and precooling the desorption bed is fulfilled by utilizing the pressure difference of the refrigerant after the reaction is finished, thereby being beneficial to reducing the condensation and regeneration energy consumption of the system and improving the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency of the system.
