Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention introduces the exhaust gas of a gas turbine provided outside a heating furnace into the furnace, and uses the heat contained in the exhaust gas and the combustion heat of the fuel supplied into the heating furnace together. And a method of controlling the heating device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, these heating furnaces have a built-in tube to be heated such as a serpentine tube type or a tube plate type, and are used for supplying and heating raw materials such as naphtha and water to these heated tubes. It is a thing. In these heating devices, for example, when naphtha is pyrolyzed to produce ethylene or hydrogen, a large amount of raw material flowing through the heated pipe in a short time of about 0.1 to 0.3 seconds is 400 to 900 ° C. It is necessary to heat up to the high temperature.

Since the fuel consumption for this heating is enormous,
Many energy-saving technologies have been adopted so far, and as a particularly significant investment effect, a gas turbine is attached to the heating furnace, the high-temperature exhaust gas is introduced into the heating furnace, and the fuel supplied to the heating furnace is supplied. A method of utilizing it with the heat of combustion has been proposed.

However, the gas turbines that have been introduced so far are all for power generation for general industry or for combined heat and power supply. These onshore gas turbines
It is highly reliable and can be operated continuously for a long time.
There was a problem that it was large and required a vast installation floor area. Further, the thermal efficiency is generally 30% or less, and further improvement of the thermal efficiency is desired for the promotion of comprehensive energy saving.

Generally, a gas turbine for an aircraft engine is designed to be small and lightweight so that it can be mounted on an aircraft, and particularly high efficiency can be obtained. The thermal efficiency can be improved and the required floor area can be saved.

However, gas turbines for aircraft are
Not designed for long-term continuous operation,
Also, it is significantly lighter than that for general industry, but this is not necessarily convenient for general industry in all respects. Since it took too short a time to stop rotating, it was impossible to immediately convert it into an industrial one.

That is, in this type of heating device, in order to make up for the interruption of the heat supply from the gas turbine when the gas turbine is stopped unnecessarily, the supply amount of fuel and air to the heating furnace is increased to It is necessary to significantly change the combustion state of No. 1 to keep the amount of heat supplied to the object to be heated constant or to decrease the amount of object to be heated according to the fluctuation of the amount of heat supplied to the heating furnace. In any case, the gas turbine for an aircraft engine has a small inertia in the rotating part, and when it is stopped, the flow rate of the high temperature exhaust gas from the gas turbine sharply decreases and is interrupted within a short time. It was difficult to keep the temperature distribution in the heating furnace stable following the rapid changes.

[0008] Usually, such an industrial heating furnace is combined with various plants provided on the downstream side thereof and integrated as a whole, so that the supply amount of the object to be heated is reduced. This method cannot be adopted because it involves fluctuations in the amount of products supplied to those plants and has a great impact on the entire plant. Therefore, it is necessary to greatly increase the supply amount of fuel and air.
This is the control of the air supply amount. This is because the fuel supply amount can be switched relatively quickly, but it takes a considerable time to increase the air supply amount.

For example, an emergency blower is installed to perform such control, and the emergency blower is started to supply air to the heating furnace at the moment when the gas turbine for the aircraft engine is urgently stopped. Even if you try, the time required for the blower to reach the rated speed, and its wind pressure and air flow rate to reach the rated value is usually much longer than the time until the supply of high-temperature exhaust gas from the gas turbine is interrupted. Since the air supply to the heating furnace is not in time, and the difference between the air supplied from the blower and the physical state of the exhaust gas supplied from the gas turbine (for example, temperature, oxygen concentration, etc.) is too large. However, the above-mentioned method has a great influence on the combustion state in the heating furnace, so that there is a problem that incomplete combustion or misfire of the fuel occurs and the quality of the product is impaired.

As another means, as an always operating blower, one having a larger capacity than that required for normal operation is installed.
Normally, the blower is operated at low speed, or the flow path of the blower is throttled with a valve or the like so that air is constantly supplied to the heating furnace at a low flow rate below the rated value, and the gas turbine is There is a method to increase the flow rate of the blower from the moment of an emergency stop, but doing so increases the equipment cost and the operating cost during normal operation, and even in this case, switching the blower requires a considerable time, Since there is a large difference in the physical state between the air supplied from the blower and the exhaust gas supplied from the gas turbine, it is inevitable that a large fluctuation in the temperature distribution within the heating furnace will occur, and this can be restored to a normal state within a short time. It was difficult to recover.

If the temperature distribution of the heating furnace fluctuates greatly, the state of the products from the heating furnace (for example, constituents, amount, temperature, pressure) also fluctuates greatly, and this also affects downstream processes. , The entire plant may fall into a dangerous state and an accident or disaster may occur.

Due to fluctuations before and after the emergency stop of the gas turbine,
What has a particularly great influence is the outlet temperature of the heated tube built into the heating furnace. Since the temperature of the air sent from the blower is much lower than the temperature of the exhaust gas supplied from the gas turbine, the conventional method causes the temperature inside the heating furnace to temporarily drop after the gas turbine is shut down. Inevitably, if the temperature in the heating furnace is lowered, the outlet temperature of the heated pipe contained in the heating furnace is also lowered, so that the composition of the heated product and the like greatly fluctuate.

If the flow rate of the raw material supplied to the tube to be heated is reduced in order to avoid this, the amount of the product from the heating furnace will be reduced, and the effect will reach the downstream plant. Due to the above-mentioned circumstances, any known control method has a great influence not only on the operation of the heating furnace but also on the operation of the downstream plant. Further, even in large boilers today, the amount of water retained in the can is extremely small. Therefore, when the exhaust heat of the gas turbine for aircraft engines is used, the same problem as described above occurs.

[0014]

[0018]

According to the present invention, even if a gas turbine for an aircraft engine is used, emergency control of fuel and air can be surely performed in response to the stop of the gas turbine. Also, since the temperature of the product at the outlet can be controlled to be constant without changing the supply amount of the raw material to the heated pipe, the quality and amount of the product can be constantly maintained.

Although only one fuel combustion device 11 is shown in the drawing, a plurality of fuel combustion devices 11 are installed on the side wall portion and floor surface of the heating passage 1, and these are respectively provided with fluid fuel, combustion air, and combustion air. Exhaust gas from the gas turbine is being supplied.

Generally, the operation control of this type of cracking furnace is mainly to control the supply amounts of raw materials and steam and to control the temperature of the cracked products. Of these, the former is performed by a flow rate controller (not shown) provided in each raw material supply pipe, and the latter is fuel supplied to the fuel combustion device 11 by the fuel supply amount control device 53 provided in the fuel supply pipe 71. To adjust.

A gas turbine 20 for an aircraft jet engine drives a generator 21 using the gas turbine 20 as a drive source, and the gas turbine 20 is a trip detector that operates when the gas turbine 20 is untimely stopped due to a failure or the like. 22 is provided. The exhaust gas discharge port of the gas turbine 20 is connected to a pipe 27 to the chimney 23 and a pipe 25 for supplying the exhaust gas to the heating furnace 1.

Each heating furnace 1 is provided with a blower 6, and the air blown by the blower 6 is sucked by a suction pipe 6
1. Through the discharge pipe 62, it merges with the exhaust gas sent from the gas turbine 20, and is sent to the fuel combustion device 11. The high temperature exhaust gas from the gas turbine 20 is distributed to each heating furnace 1 through the exhaust gas supply pipe 25 and the exhaust gas distribution pipe 26 to each cracking furnace, and the oxygen supply amount by the exhaust gas is the fuel supplied to each heating furnace 1. It is desirable that the amount of oxygen be equal to or less than the amount of oxygen required for combustion, and the blower 6 replenish the shortage.

The arithmetic and control unit 31, which combines the information signals from these control devices to comprehensively perform arithmetic control,
It is recommended to use a distributed direct digital control computer as 41 and 51. In this case, the control system of the arithmetic and control unit will be the following three systems. First system: Air supply amount calculation control system Oxygen contained in high temperature exhaust gas from the gas turbine 20,
The amount of air supplied to the heating furnace 1 is optimally controlled by comprehensively adjusting the oxygen contained in the air sent from the blower 6 together. Second system: Gas turbine exhaust gas supply amount calculation control system The flow rate of exhaust gas supplied from the gas turbine 20 to the heating furnace 1 is adjusted. Third system: product temperature calculation control system The temperature of the product sent from the heated pipe 12 is kept constant. At the time of an emergency stop of the gas turbine 20, the set value of the temperature controller 52 is set according to a program prepared in advance in order to keep the supply amount of the raw material and the outlet temperature of the heated tube 12 of the heating furnace 1, that is, the product temperature constant. Is raised for a certain period of time to a value higher than the set value at the time of stop, and is returned to the original value after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Next, a normal control operation of this heating device will be described. (A) Startup of heating furnace During the operation stop of the heating furnace 1, the exhaust gas flow rate control valve 43 and the exhaust gas cutoff valve 44 provided in the exhaust gas distribution pipe 26 are fully closed, and the heating furnace 1 and the gas turbine 20 are connected. The communication line is blocked. In this state, the fuel combustion device 11 is ignited, the temperature of the heating furnace 1 is raised, and the starting operation for using the heating furnace 1 as a cracking furnace is performed such as starting the supply of raw materials. Until the steady operation, the air for fuel combustion is not supplied from the gas turbine 20, but is supplied only by the blower 6.

(B) Startup of gas turbine Exhaust gas flow rate control valve 4 provided in the exhaust gas distribution pipe 26 of the heating furnace
3 and the degree of opening of the emergency cutoff valve 44 are 0, the exhaust gas pressure control valve 24 provided in the exhaust gas discharge pipe 27 is fully opened, the gas turbine 20 is started, and the rotation speed is sequentially increased.
When the rated speed is reached, steady operation is continued at that speed. Note that it is recommended that the gas turbine 20 cannot be started unless the exhaust gas flow rate control valve 43 and the emergency cutoff valve 44 have an opening of 0 and the pressure control valve 24 is not fully open. .

(C) Connection between gas turbine and heating furnace After confirming that the remote opening / closing valve 242 of the exhaust gas supply pipe 25 is fully opened, the exhaust gas cutoff valve 44 of the exhaust gas distribution pipe 26 of the planned connection furnace
Is fully opened, and the exhaust gas flow rate control valve 42 is operated to gradually open the exhaust gas flow rate control valve 43. As a result, when the pressure of the exhaust gas supply pipe 25 decreases, the opening degree of the exhaust gas pressure control valve 243 provided in the exhaust gas discharge pipe 27 leading to the chimney 23 decreases. When the number of heating furnaces 1 connected to the gas turbine 20 exceeds a certain number, the exhaust gas pressure control valve 243 is fully closed.

During this period, a signal from the air flow rate calculation control device 31 reduces the opening of the air flow rate control valve 33 provided in the suction pipe 61 of the blower 6, and the air flow rate to the heating furnace 1 is
The optimum value calculated from the information sent from each of the air flow rate instruction controller 32, the exhaust gas oxygen concentration meter 28, and the fuel flow rate instruction controller 531 is controlled.

(D) Separation of gas turbine from heating furnace Coke is generated and accumulated on the inner wall of the heated tube 12 by a side reaction, and the production efficiency of the heating furnace 1 decreases with the passage of time. Operation is interrupted at regular intervals,
Coke removal operation is required. Therefore, the heating furnace 1 is separated from the gas turbine 20. In addition to this regular maintenance work, the exhaust gas supply may be interrupted due to various troubles, production adjustments, shutdown of the entire furnace, etc.

When performing the disconnection, the exhaust gas flow rate adjusting controller 42 provided in the exhaust gas distribution pipe 26 of the heating furnace 1 is operated, and the exhaust gas flow rate adjusting valve 43 is gradually closed. At this time, in response to a signal from the air flow rate calculation control device 31, the air flow rate control valve 33 provided in the suction pipe 61 of the blower 6 sequentially increases its opening degree, and the air flow rate to the heating furnace 1 is controlled by the exhaust gas flow rate controller 42. , The oxygen concentration meter 28, the fuel flow rate controller 531 and other signals are adjusted to the optimum values.

At this time, if another heating furnace is connected to the gas turbine 20 in parallel at the same time, the exhaust gas supply pipe 2
The pressure fluctuation of No. 5 is small, and the pressure control valve 243 of the exhaust gas discharge pipe 27 hardly moves (in the normal operation, it is normally kept in the fully closed state). After the exhaust gas flow control valve 43 is fully opened,
The disconnection is completed by fully closing the exhaust gas cutoff valve 44.

After that, the heating furnace 1 is subjected to necessary maintenance such as coke removing operation, and after the starting operation by the method (a), is connected to the gas turbine 20 again by the method (c).

(E) Normal stop of heating furnace The heating furnace 1 is separated from the gas turbine 20 by the above-mentioned method (d), and thereafter, stop operations such as supply of raw materials and fuel and cooling of the heating furnace 1 are performed.

(F) Normal stop of gas turbine All the heating furnaces 1 are sequentially disconnected from the gas turbine 20 by the method of (d) above. In this process, the pressure of the exhaust gas supply pipe 25 gradually increases, so that the exhaust gas discharge pipe 2 leading to the chimney 23
The exhaust gas pressure control valve 243 of No. 7 starts to open sequentially, and the chimney 23
The emission of exhaust gas from the plant has started and is gradually increasing. After confirming that all the heating furnaces 1 have been disconnected and that the exhaust gas flow rate control valve 43 and the exhaust gas cutoff valve 44 of each exhaust gas distribution pipe 26 are all fully closed, a normal stop operation is performed according to the regulations, The turbine 20 is stopped.

(G) Control operation at the time of emergency stop of gas turbine When the gas turbine 20 is stopped due to a failure, the supply amount of exhaust gas decreases extremely rapidly. FIG. 3 shows the change over time in the exhaust gas supply amount (exhaust gas flow rate flowing in the exhaust gas supply pipe 25) after the gas turbine for an aircraft (output 25000 KW) used on the implementation side was stopped. From this figure, it is known that the exhaust gas supply amount decreases to 40% or less within 1 second after the stop, and becomes 20% or less after 2 seconds.

In response to such a rapid change in heat supply,
It is impossible to perform accurate and quick compensation control for each heating furnace without causing any interference or disturbance to the combustion amount of a large number of heating furnaces operating in parallel.

When the gas turbine 20 is urgently stopped, the trip detection controller 22 issues the following emergency treatment command signals (1) to (3). Command 1-1 Full open command signal of the air flow control valve 33 (about 2 until full open)
Seconds). Command 1-2 Calculation control start command signal to the air flow rate calculation control device 31. Command 2-1 Transmitted 1.5 seconds after the gas turbine stopped. A full closing command signal for the exhaust gas cutoff valve 44 provided in the exhaust gas distribution pipe 26 to the heating furnace 1 connected to the gas turbine 20 (about 3 seconds until fully opened). Command 2-2 Calculation control start command signal to the exhaust gas flow rate calculation control device 41. Command 3 Calculation control start command signal to the temperature setting control device 51.

The following arithmetic control is performed by these command signals. The product temperature control device 5 sets the set temperature of the temperature controller 52 provided in the outlet pipe of the heated pipe 12 of the heating furnace 1 connected to the gas turbine 20 according to a program prepared in advance, to the gas turbine 20. The value immediately before the stop was temporarily shifted to the high temperature side, and after a certain period of time, the original value was restored.

In the above embodiments, the change of the set temperature is shown as an example of a rectangular wave shape in which the temperature rises from the temperature before the change at a constant crest value and sharply falls after a lapse of a predetermined time. However, this is not limited to this type, and for example, since the set temperature at all times is constant, the set temperature may be increased to a desired set temperature.
When restoring the set value to a permissible value, it is possible not to make it stepwise, but to make it stepwise, linearly or exponentially lowered, and it is also possible to make its rise also triangular. .

The amount of shift of the set temperature to the high temperature side, the changing time and functional form, and the time integral value of the changing amount are the purpose of use of the heating furnace, the thermal characteristics, the gas turbine, and the like. Can be calculated in advance from the ratio of the amount of heat supplied to the heating furnace from the amount of heat supplied by fuel combustion, the characteristics of the control device used, the behavior when the gas turbine is stopped, and the like.

When the temperature set value is shifted to the high temperature side, the fuel flow rate controller 531 increases the opening degree of the fuel flow rate control valve 532 and increases the fuel supply amount by a fixed amount. Therefore, at this time, the indication value of the fuel flow rate controller 531 increases,
The signal is transmitted to the air flow rate calculation control device 31 of the air supply flow rate control device 3 for the heating furnace.

In such a case, the set value of the air flow rate controller 32 of the air supply amount control device 3 changes to the required air amount corresponding to the signal from the fuel flow controller 531. The opening degree of 33 is adjusted, and the supply amount of air is optimally controlled so that the combustion state in the heating furnace 1 is stably maintained.

The exhaust gas flow rate control device 4 of the gas turbine is
In accordance with the command signal, the setting of the exhaust gas flow rate controller 42 is changed to the flow rate "zero", and the output of this setting causes the exhaust gas flow rate control valve 43 to be fully closed.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the gas turbine is stopped unintentionally, the set temperature of the product temperature control device at the outlet of the pipe to be heated is increased, whereby the fuel and air supplied to the heating furnace are supplied. To increase the supply of.

It is possible to control the set value of the fuel supply amount to be supplied to the heating furnace to be higher than the value immediately before the stop of the gas turbine for a certain period of time without raising the set temperature of the product temperature control device. is there. Then, it is theoretically possible to set the increase amount to be substantially equal to the fuel increase amount to be increased by the control according to the present invention. However, such a control method cannot achieve the stable and high level control that can be realized by the present invention.

As an example of the change in the operating state of the heating furnace before and after the gas turbine is stopped, FIG. 3 shows the product temperature at the outlet of the heated pipe 12 (the value indicated by the temperature indicating controller 52) and the fuel supply amount (fuel flow rate). A change in the opening of the fuel flow rate control valve 532 is shown. From this graph, it is clear that according to the present invention, the temperature change of the decomposition product is kept within ± 2 ° C with respect to the temperature during normal operation.
Further, since the period in which such fluctuations occur is only about a few seconds, the quality of the product is not significantly affected.

[0057]

As described above, according to the apparatus and method of the present invention, an aircraft in which the exhaust gas is interrupted in an extremely short time at the time of an untimely stoppage in a heating apparatus having a gas turbine incorporated in a heating furnace. Even if a gas turbine for use is used, the amount of raw material supplied to the heating furnace is not changed when the gas turbine is stopped.
Moreover, the outlet temperature of the heated tube built into the heating furnace can be kept substantially constant, so that the operation of the heating furnace can be stably maintained, and therefore the safety of the entire plant including downstream processes can be secured. .

According to the present invention, it is possible to incorporate an aircraft gas turbine with high thermal efficiency into a heating furnace of a device for producing ethylene, hydrogen, etc. or a device with large energy consumption such as a large boiler. It has a remarkable effect on the improvement of total energy efficiency.
