The following describes the structure of the vortex generator provided by the application and the principle of preheating and precooling a supercritical carbon dioxide (scco 2) energy conversion system by using compressed air when the vortex generator is applied to the scco 2 energy conversion system.
As shown in fig. 3, 4, and 7, in an exemplary embodiment, the vortex generator 18 may further include a first tube sheet 61, a first spoiler 221, a second spoiler 222, and a second tube sheet 62 disposed in the barrel 1 in order along the length direction X of the barrel 1; the first tube plate 61 and the second tube plate 62 are located at both ends of the cylinder 1; the first flow blocking plate 221 and the second flow blocking plate 222 and the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 enclose a medium flow area, and the first through hole 8 is positioned in the medium flow area; the first tube plate 61, the first spoiler 221, the second spoiler 222 and the second tube plate 62 are provided with second through holes 7, and the vortex tube 5 passes through each second through hole 7.
Wherein, as shown in fig. 7, the first tube plate 61, the first spoiler 221, the second spoiler 222 and the second tube plate 62 may have the same structure, and the vortex tube 5 passes through each second through hole 7, so that the first tube plate 61, the first spoiler 221, the second spoiler 222 and the second tube plate 62 may function to fix and support the vortex tube 5.
The first flow blocking plate 221 and the second flow blocking plate 222 are located between the first tube plate 61 and the second tube plate 62, and the first flow blocking plate 221 and the second flow blocking plate 222 and the inner cavity of the cylinder 1 enclose a medium flow area, and the first through hole 8 is located in the medium flow area, so that the first flow blocking plate 221 and the second flow blocking plate 222 can block the compressed air entering the cylinder 1 and block the compressed air from flowing out of the medium flow area, so that the compressed air entering from the fluid inlet 2 can only enter the inner cavity of the vortex tube 5 through the first through hole 8 on the vortex tube 5, and it can be understood that compared with the structure that the tube plates are arranged at two ends of the cylinder 1 to form the medium flow area, the space of the medium flow area is reduced by the first flow blocking plate 221 and the second flow blocking plate 222 which are additionally arranged in the area corresponding to the fluid inlet 2, thereby being more beneficial to the formation of negative pressure of the compressed air and improving the efficiency of the compressed air entering the inner cavity of the vortex tube 5.
As shown in fig. 5, in the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first tube plate 61 is located at the low-temperature fluid outlet side, the second tube plate 62 is located at the high-temperature fluid outlet side, and the first spoiler 221 is located at the side of the second spoiler 222 remote from the second tube plate 62; the end of the vortex tube 5 facing the low-temperature fluid outlet is a cold fluid outlet end, and the end facing the high-temperature fluid outlet is a hot fluid outlet end. The vortex tube 5 comprises a first choke body 10 and a second choke body 9, the first choke body 10 is positioned between the first through hole 8 and the cold fluid outlet end, the outer wall of the first choke body 10 is in sealing connection with the inner wall of the vortex tube 5, the middle part of the first choke body 10 is provided with a fluid channel, and the direction of the fluid channel is the same as the length direction X of the vortex tube 5; the second choke body 9 is located between the first through hole 8 and the hot fluid outlet end, the second choke body 9 encloses into a sealing structure in the pipe diameter direction of the vortex tube 5, and a gap for fluid to pass through is formed between the edge of the sealing structure and the inner wall of the vortex tube 5.
Wherein the first tube plate 61 is located at the side of the low temperature fluid outlet, the second tube plate 62 is located at the side of the high temperature fluid outlet, i.e. the tube plate near the low temperature fluid outlet is the first tube plate 61, and the tube plate near the high temperature fluid outlet is the second tube plate 62.
The first spoiler 221 is located on the side of the second spoiler 222 away from the second tube plate 62, i.e. the spoiler located on the side of the medium flow zone close to the first tube plate 61 is the first spoiler 221, and the spoiler located on the side of the medium flow zone close to the second tube plate 62 is the second spoiler 222.
The vortex tube 5 is used for enabling compressed air entering the vortex tube 5 to form high-speed rotating air flow, the air close to the inner wall of the vortex tube 5 is in a high-flow-rate state under the action of centrifugal force, and the air in the center of the vortex tube 5 is in a low-flow-rate state. According to the principle of gas molecular dynamics, the greater the movement speed of molecules, the more violent the mutual collision among the molecules, the higher the internal energy, the macroscopic appearance is that the temperature of compressed air is higher, and the lower the temperature is on the contrary. It can be seen that the compressed air proximate to the inner wall of the vortex tube 5 has a high flow rate and a high temperature, while the compressed air distal to the inner wall of the vortex tube 5 has a low flow rate and a low temperature.
One end of the vortex tube 5 facing the low-temperature fluid outlet is a cold fluid outlet end, one end facing the high-temperature fluid outlet is a hot fluid outlet end, namely, the low-temperature fluid outlet corresponds to the cold fluid outlet end, the high-temperature fluid outlet corresponds to the hot fluid outlet end, one part of air in the vortex tube 5 flows out of the low-temperature fluid outlet of the cylinder 1 through the cold fluid outlet, and the other part flows out of the high-temperature fluid outlet of the cylinder 1 through the hot fluid outlet.
A first baffle 10 is located between the first through hole 8 and the cold fluid outlet end to separate the cold fluid by the action of the first baffle 10. The outer wall of the first choke body 10 is in sealing connection with the inner wall of the vortex tube 5, so as to block high-temperature fluid close to the inner wall of the vortex tube 5. The middle part of the first choke body 10 is provided with a fluid channel, the extending direction of the fluid channel is the same as the length direction X of the vortex tube 5, so that the cold fluid far away from the inner wall of the vortex tube 5 can flow out through the fluid channel, namely, the low-speed and low-temperature air in the vortex tube 5 flows out from the cold fluid outlet end through the fluid channel on the first choke body 10. In this exemplary embodiment, the first choke body 10 may have an annular structure, and the middle portion of the first choke body 10 is provided with a fluid channel, that is, a fluid channel is provided in the axial direction of the first choke body 10, in other words, the radial direction of the first choke body 10 has a certain thickness, so that the first choke body 10 can block high-temperature fluid and pass through low-temperature fluid.
A second flow blocking body 9 is located between the first through hole 8 and the hot fluid outlet end to separate the hot fluid by the action of the second flow blocking body 9. Specifically, the second blocking body 9 encloses into a sealing structure along the pipe diameter direction of the vortex tube 5, and a gap for fluid to pass through is formed between the edge of the sealing structure and the inner wall of the vortex tube 5, so that low-speed and low-temperature air far away from the inner wall of the vortex tube 5 can be blocked by the second blocking body 9, and high-speed and high-temperature air close to the inner wall of the vortex tube 5 can be led out, and separation of the high-temperature air and the low-temperature air is realized.
As shown in fig. 5, in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first blocking body 10 may have a ring shape, the first blocking body of the ring structure has an inner diameter and an outer diameter, and a ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter is 1/3 to 2/3.
Wherein the first baffle 10 may be annular in shape, the annular structure having an inner bore such that cryogenic air can be conducted out through the inner bore. It should be understood that the shape of the first choke body 10 needs to be matched with the vortex tube 5, for example, when the vortex tube 5 is in a cylindrical structure, the first choke body 10 is in a ring shape, or when the vortex tube 5 is in a square tube, the first choke body 10 is in a square ring shape, so long as good tightness between the outer surface of the first choke body 10 in the ring structure and the inner tube wall of the vortex tube 5 is ensured.
The ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the first choke body 10 is 1/3-2/3, for example, 1/3, 2/5, 3/7, 1/2, 5/9, 2/3, etc., so that the first choke body 10 not only has a good guiding effect on low-temperature air, but also has a good blocking effect on high-temperature air.
As shown in fig. 5, in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the second choke body 9 may be tapered, the axial direction of the second choke body 9 is the same as the length direction X of the vortex tube 5, and the end surface area of the second choke body 9 of the tapered structure gradually decreases from the hot fluid outlet end to the cold fluid outlet end; the ratio of the gap value of the gap along the pipe diameter direction of the vortex pipe to the inner diameter of the vortex pipe is 1/10-3/10.
The second choke body 9 is tapered, and the end surface area of the second choke body 9 of the tapered structure gradually decreases from the hot fluid outlet end to the cold fluid outlet end, that is, the end of the tapered structure with smaller end surface area faces the cold fluid outlet end of the vortex tube, so that the fluid medium in the inner cavity of the vortex tube 5 can only flow out through the gap between the tapered structure and the inner wall of the vortex tube 5, that is, only the high-temperature air near the wall surface of the inner wall channel is allowed to flow out, and therefore the side outlet flows out the high-temperature air.
The axial direction of the second choke body 9 refers to the direction in which the area of the end face of the conical structure gradually decreases, and the axial direction of the second choke body 9 is the same as the length direction X of the vortex tube 5, which means that in the present exemplary embodiment, the area of the end face of the second choke body 9 gradually decreases from the hot fluid outlet to the cold fluid outlet along the length direction X of the vortex tube 5.
Furthermore, it should be appreciated that the profile of the second baffle 9 needs to match the shape of the inner tube wall of the vortex tube 5. For example, in the present exemplary embodiment, the vortex tube 5 is circular, and the second choke body 9 may be conical.
The ratio of the gap value of the gap along the pipe diameter direction of the vortex pipe to the inner diameter of the vortex pipe is 1/10-3/10, for example, 1/10, 3/20, 1/5, 1/4, 3/10 and the like, and by arranging smaller gaps, the second choke body 9 can exert the choke effect on low-temperature fluid and ensure the passing efficiency of high-temperature gas.
Furthermore, the tapered structure described in the embodiments of the present application means that the second blocking body 9 is in a tapered structure as a whole, and is not particularly limited to a regular positive cone. For example, the second blocking body 9 may have a tapered mesa structure, that is, the second blocking body 9 has two end faces, and the end face area gradually decreases from one end to the other end. Alternatively, the second blocking body 9 may have a forward tapered structure, i.e., the second blocking body 9 has an end face and a taper. Further, the second blocking body 9 may have other structures, for example, may be a cylinder or the like. As long as the second flow-blocking body 9 forms a seal in the cross-sectional direction of the swirl tube 5 and a gap is provided between the edge of the seal and the inner wall of the swirl tube 5, no further development is possible here.
As shown in fig. 5, in the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the inner cavity of the vortex tube 5 may gradually increase from the first choke 10 to the cryogenic fluid outlet, forming a diffuser. In the flowing process of the fluid, the flow speed is gradually reduced, the pressure is gradually increased, the pressure difference between the fluid and the outside of the outlet is gradually increased, the pressure difference drives the fluid to flow, the driving force of the fluid to flow is increased, and the fluid flows out of the vortex tube 5 more smoothly.

The expansion joint 11 is also called a compensator or an expansion joint, and is a flexible structure provided on the container housing or the pipe in order to compensate for additional stress caused by a temperature difference and mechanical vibration. Because the temperature near the high-temperature fluid outlet of the vortex tube 5 is higher, the tube wall material of the vortex tube 5 is easy to expand and deform, the expansion energy is absorbed by utilizing the deformation of the expansion joint 11 by arranging the expansion joint 11 between the first through hole 8 and the second flow blocking body 9 so as to adapt to the dimensional change generated by thermal expansion, the sealing and the fixation of the vortex tube 5 and the second tube plate 62 are ensured, the integral structure of the vortex generator is ensured to be complete, and the reliability and the stability of equipment are improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, the expansion joint 11 may be a bellows expansion joint. The bellows expansion joint can be made of metal bellows, can stretch and retract along the pipe diameter direction of the vortex pipe 5, also allows a small amount of bending, and can save space, save materials and facilitate standardization and mass production.
Of course, in other embodiments, the expansion joint 11 may be in other forms of flexible connection structure, and is not deployed here.
As shown in fig. 6, in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first through hole 8 is opened tangentially to the wall of the vortex tube 5.
Specifically, the direction of opening the first through hole 8 affects the efficiency of forming vortex by the fluid entering the inner cavity of the vortex tube 5. As can be seen intuitively from fig. 6, the first through holes 8 are formed along the tangential direction of the wall of the vortex tube 5, that is, the direction of the first through holes 8 is deviated from the center of the section of the vortex tube 5, and when a plurality of first through holes 8 are formed, the plurality of first through holes 8 can be uniformly deviated from the center of the section of the vortex tube 5 in the anticlockwise direction or in the clockwise direction, so that the fluid can form a vortex in the cavity of the vortex tube 5, the rotating speed of the vortex is improved, and the fluid can be more favorably split into hot fluid and cold fluid.
