Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of the recovery of heat energy from furnaces with tubular spars and its conversion into electricity by means of an expansion cycle turbine using a fluid other than water vapor.
  • the invention relates in particular to steel reheating furnaces intended to reheat products, in particular slabs, blooms, blanks or billets, operating at a temperature suitable for their hot rolling, and more particularly furnaces with mobile beams.
  • a reheating furnace makes it possible to bring the products to high temperatures, for example to a temperature of about 1200 ° C. for a carbon steel.
  • the heating of the furnace is commonly carried out by burners supplied with preheated air and fuel and operating with a slight excess of air.
  • EP0971192 describes an example of a longitudinal beam furnace equipped with fixed beams and mobile beams.
  • the products are placed on the beams and are heated by burners placed above and below the products.
  • the spars are made of andirons and cooled keels.
  • the movable side members allow the transport of the products in the oven by following a cycle comprising a first phase of ascent by the movable side members, from an initial position, which allows the products to be lifted.
  • the first phase is followed by a second phase of horizontal transport by the mobile spars, then a third phase of depositing the products on the fixed spars.
  • the products are thus moved by one step on the fixed side members before the fourth phase of moving the moving side members back to their initial position.
  • the andirons of the fixed side members are carried by pins integral with the oven floor.
  • the andirons of the mobile side members are carried by pins passing through the floor of the oven and fixed, under the oven, on a translation frame.
  • the translation frame is based on a mechanism which ensures a rectangular cycle by the horizontal and vertical displacement of the frame assembly, keels and andirons of the mobile side members.
  • the structure of the side members is produced by tubes or hollow sections which are cooled by a circulating heat transfer fluid, which is traditionally water at low temperature and low pressure, for example 30 to 55 ° C. and 5 bars.
  • the quantity of energy evacuated per unit of time by the heat transfer fluid is important in order to limit the temperature and to have sufficient mechanical strength of the structure of the side members.
  • the evacuated power is for example 10 MW th for a furnace with a capacity of 450 t / h.
  • the hot water recovered at the outlet of the longitudinal members can then be used in the plant, for example for sanitary use, for heating buildings, or for processes for which relatively low temperatures are necessary.
  • the water at low temperature and low pressure cooling the spars can be replaced by superheated high pressure water, which is partially transformed into saturated steam in the andirons.
  • the resulting steam can be used in the plant for different needs.
  • the cooling of the structure of the side members by a mixture of water and saturated steam is advantageous, in particular because it makes it possible to ensure the operation of the structure of the side members at a stable temperature. Indeed, the change of state from the liquid phase to the vapor phase taking place at a substantially constant temperature, the outlet temperature of the cooling fluid from the spars is constant, whatever the operating speed of the furnace, only the quantity of water passing in evolving vapor phase.
  • the outlet temperature of the cooling fluid is, for example, 215 ° C. for a fluid pressure of 21 bars absolute.
  • a heat recuperator is traditionally placed in a flue of combustion fumes from the furnace. It enables energy recovery from these fumes by preheating the combustion air from the burners and sometimes the fuel. Downstream of this recuperator, the temperature of the flue gases is still relatively high, for example 300 ° C. It is known to add other heat exchangers, or a recovery boiler, in flues to further exhaust the fumes. In the case where the cooling of the structure of the side members is carried out by superheated water with production of steam, it may for example be a superheated water saver or a steam superheater.
  • the steel reheating furnaces operate continuously and have large production capacities, for example 450 t / h. Their operating regime frequently varies, in particular according to the nature and temperature of the products placed in the oven and the timing of the oven. As a result, the volume of the combustion fumes also varies frequently, the latter being substantially proportional to the hourly tonnage of the products heated in the oven. The changes in the flow of fumes are also accompanied by a variation in the temperature of said fumes. These fluctuations in the temperature of the flue gases lead to a significant variation in the performance of the exchangers placed in flues or in recovery boilers. At reduced tonnage, the flue gas temperature no longer allows the residual energy of the flue gases to be used in steam.
  • the products to be heated in the oven must always be heated to the rolling temperature, and this being relatively constant, the temperature of the oven walls vary little. As the heat losses through the side members fluctuate little, the generation of steam by a cooling system for the side members structure is less dependent on the hourly tonnage of the furnace.
  • the thermal energies contained in the flue gases and the cooling fluid of the spars each represent approximately 10 MW th on a 450 t / h furnace with temperatures respectively of the order of 300 ° C and 200 ° C.
  • the use of a water-steam cycle for the production of electricity from these energies is difficult to implement and is not economically profitable with these levels of temperature and thermal power, as well as these amplitudes of power variations.
  • KR20140036363 describes an energy recovery solution on a steel reheating furnace making it possible to recover the energy losses of the furnace contained in the fumes and in the cooling system of the spars, by using them in a common electricity production installation, while overcoming the problems of variability thereof. It implements an installation for generating electricity by a thermodynamic Rankine cycle using an organic fluid as working fluid.
  • An organic Rankine cycle machine called "ORC” for the acronym of the English terms Organic Rankine Cycle, converts medium or low temperature heat into electricity, thanks to the use of an organic working fluid of density greater than that of water.
  • ORC machine the working fluid in the liquid state is compressed and then vaporized.
  • the organic fluid vapor is then expanded before being condensed.
  • the machine comprises in particular an evaporator, an expansion turbine, a condenser and a booster pump.
  • the expansion turbine is for example of the radial or axial type, with one or two stages, the rotation of which drives an alternator which produces electricity.
  • the organic fluid has a low boiling point, for example less than 50 ° C at atmospheric pressure, and is of the wetting type, that is to say that it is not necessary to superheat the vapor of this. fluid after evaporation to avoid creating droplets in the turbine during expansion.
  • This type of fluid can thus allow, despite a low temperature of the hot source, to extract a maximum of work in the turbine and thus to have a better efficiency than a water vapor cycle at low temperatures, for example below 350 ° C.
  • thermodynamic machine efficiency that is to say the ratio between available thermal energy and net electricity produced.
  • the calories necessary for the vaporization of the organic fluid of the ORC machine are provided by the energy recovered from the reheating furnace, partly from the cooling fluid of the side members and partly from the combustion fumes.
  • the coolant for andirons and keels is a mixture of molten salts.
  • This mixture is for example composed, by mass, of 52% of KNO 3 , 18% of NaNO 3 and 30% of LiNO 3 .
  • the installation comprises a recirculation loop 40 with additional equipment, which makes the installation more expensive and relatively complex to operate compared to a solution in which the cooling fluid is water or a water / steam mixture. Calories from the molten salts are transmitted to the organic fluid of the ORC by means of an exchanger 21.
  • the molten salts may come into contact with the organic fluid of the ORC, which represents a risk. for installation.
  • this solution does not make it possible to modulate the calorific input of the molten salts to the organic fluid of the ORC. If the ORC is stopped, the continuous supply of calories by the molten salts can lead to a very significant rise in the temperature of the organic fluid, hence a risk for the installation.
  • KR20140036363 describes a solution in which part of the fumes directly exchange calories with the organic fluid of the ORC by means of an exchanger 51. In the event of deterioration of this exchanger, there is a risk of fire if the organic fluid of the ORC comes into contact with the fumes.
  • the state of the art therefore does not allow a double recovery of energy from the fumes from the reheating furnace and from the cooling fluid of the andirons and keels under conditions allowing optimal energy performance, flexibility in regulating the operation of the 'ORC and safe operating conditions.
  • heating system comprising a cooling circuit for said side members, in which water circulates, the latter being in the liquid state at the inlet of the side members and in the liquid / vapor mixture state at the outlet of the side members, said mixture being separated downstream of the side members into liquid water on one side and steam on the other, the steam directly or indirectly yielding calories to a first intermediate recirculation loop, and furthermore a recovery system energy making it possible to absorb part of the calories from the fume circuit evacuated by the oven, said calories being transferred to a second intermediate recirculation loop, said first and second intermediate recirculation loops directly or indirectly transferring calories to an organic fluid loop arranged so as to supply a turbine producing electricity by the implementation of a cycle of organic Rankine.
  • the calories coming from the steam and those coming from the flue gas circuit are transferred indirectly to the organic fluid of the ORC, via a first intermediate recirculation loop arranged between a circuit comprising the steam and the organic fluid, respectively via a second intermediate recirculation loop arranged between the flue gas circuit and the organic fluid.
  • the vapor circuit is isolated from the organic fluid by at least two pieces of equipment, for example two exchangers.
  • the flue gas circuit is isolated from the organic fluid by at least two pieces of equipment, for example two exchangers.
  • the calories coming from the steam are first transferred to a first intermediate recirculation loop before being transferred to the organic fluid used in the Rankine cycle.
  • the steam has a very high pressure compared to that of the organic fluid, there is no significant risk of explosion if the exchanger is pierced, even if the organic fluid of the ORC is very often a hydrocarbon or flammable refrigerant, since the vapor cannot come into contact with said organic fluid.
  • the calories from the fumes are first transferred to a second intermediate recirculation loop before being transferred to the organic fluid used in the Rankine cycle. Also, there is no possible exchange between the organic fluid used in the Rankine cycle and the fumes, which avoids a risk of fire which is present in the prior art.
  • the method according to the invention therefore has more security than that according to the prior art.
  • the combination of the two energy sources from the flue gases and the cooling system can stabilize the energy input supplied to the ORC machine.
  • the combination of the two energy sources from the flue gases and the cooling system can allow the ORC machine to operate more often in its optimum operating range.
  • a reheating furnace is dimensioned for a nominal production capacity corresponding to the heating of a number of tonnes per hour of a reference product from an initial temperature to a discharge temperature. From experience, in operation, the furnace operates on average at about 70% of its nominal capacity.
  • an ORC machine works well over a wide range of variations in the heat source, with the incoming thermal power typically varying between 30% and 100%.
  • the maximum efficiency of the ORC machine is obtained for the maximum design power and it decreases with the incoming thermal power.
  • An ORC machine must be stopped when the calorie supply to the organic fluid of the ORC machine is less than a minimum threshold generally between 20 and 30% of the maximum capacity allowed by the ORC machine.
  • the invention makes it possible, thanks to the stability and the capacity of the heat source coming from the side member cooling system, never to be less than 30% of the thermal load.
  • the ORC machine is always in operation, except in the event of shutdown of the installation, and does not require complex regulation.
  • an energy recovery installation capable of being connected to at least one beam reheating furnace equipped with burners, said reheating furnace comprising a circuit for cooling said stringers, in which circulates water, this being in the liquid state at the entry of the side members and in the liquid / vapor mixture state at the outlet of the side members, said mixture being separated downstream of the side members into liquid water on one side and steam on the other, said installation comprising a turbine designed to produce electricity by implementing a Rankine cycle on an organic fluid, said installation further comprising at least exchangers functionally arranged heat so as to transfer to said organic fluid, at least part of the calories contained in combustion fumes from the burners, via a heat transfer fluid, and at least part of the calories contained in the steam, via a heat transfer fluid.
  • At least one reheating furnace may include a heat exchanger which is arranged in a combustion fume discharge flue from said at least one reheating furnace in order to collect calories from said combustion fumes and transmit them to the heat transfer fluid circulating in said heat exchanger.

  • the heat transfer intermediate fluid is non-flammable at the temperature at which it is used, its ignition temperature being substantially higher than that of the organic fluid of the ORC.
  • This configuration makes it possible to improve the robustness of the equipment by limiting the sudden variations in temperature of exchange with the organic fluid of the ORC in the event of shutdown of the furnace thanks to the mass energy storage capacity. of intermediate fluid. It also makes it possible to improve the safety of the exchange system with the heat exchanger coming from the steam by locally controlling the behavior of this exchange without disturbing the loop supplying the ORC exchanger.
  • the steam being at a pressure appreciably higher than that of the intermediate fluid (approximately 20 bars on the vapor side for approximately 4 to 7 bars on the intermediate fluid side), if the exchanger is pierced, the fluid will flow from the vapor circuit. towards the intermediate fluid circuit thus preventing the intermediate fluid from spilling into the andirons and keels.
  • This solution also allows the use of a robust technology exchanger for the exchange between the intermediate fluid and the organic fluid of the ORC, the two fluids having similar properties. It thus makes it possible to strengthen the operating safety of the ORC machine in the event of a problem with the steam circuit for cooling the side members.

  • regulation of the supply of calories to the ORC machine can be carried out on the flue gas circuit, by means of a partial bypass of the combustion fume exhaustion exchanger placed in the flue or dilution of the fumes with cold air to lower the temperature. Due to the sizing of the ORC for operation of the furnace at 70% of its nominal capacity, if the heat input to the ORC machine becomes too great, some of the fumes bypass the exchanger of the fume exhaustion circuit. combustion or the fumes will be diluted without this interfering with the operation of the furnace.

  • a bypass of the fumes placed on the fume circuit can prevent the thermal fluid used in the fume exhaust system from heating up.
  • Another method consists in using a heat transfer fluid operating at a higher temperature on the intermediate loop and / or in reducing the temperature of the flue gases by diluting them, for example with an air inlet upstream of the recuperator placed on the flue gas pipe. Air coolers can also be placed on the superheated water / steam circuit so as to evacuate the calories coming from the side members.
  • the ORC machine is dimensioned according to the average operating speed of the reheating furnace and not according to the nominal capacity of the furnace. This has a double advantage: the ORC machine being smaller, the amount of the investment can be reduced, and the ORC machine can operate a maximum of the time on an optimal point (maximum efficiency) thus producing a maximum of electricity for a faster return on investment.
