  • the fuel pretreatment system is exactly the same as in FIG.
  • the difference from the first embodiment is that the amount of carbon dioxide recovered from the carbon dioxide separated by the carbon dioxide separation system 20 is about half that of the case of FIG.
  • the carbon dioxide gas separated by the carbon dioxide separation system 20 is the sum of the carbon dioxide gas moved from the cathode to the anode by the power generation reaction and the carbon produced in the fuel gas, but is produced from the new fuel gas F supplied from the outside. If all the carbon dioxide is recovered, the carbon dioxide at the cathode outlet becomes zero and the power generation reaction does not proceed, so only about half of the carbon dioxide generated from the fuel gas can be recovered.
  • this system does not require the air separation device 28 of FIG. 2, there is a merit that the in-site power is reduced by the difference between the power of the air blower and the power of the air blower, and the power generation efficiency is improved.
  • the amount released is about 1/3 of the system of FIG.
  • Air AIR is supplied by an air blower 23. This air is heated by the cathode exhaust in the low temperature regeneration heat exchanger 24 and then mixed with the preheated recycled carbon dioxide RC. The air mixed with the recycle carbon dioxide RC is heated again by the cathode exhaust in the high temperature regenerative heat exchanger 25, and then mixed with the cathode recycle gas and supplied to the cathode inlet. At the cathode, carbon dioxide gas and oxygen are consumed by the power generation reaction to become cathode exhaust.
  • this cathode gas system does not change the fuel cell cooling effect of the cathode gas.
  • this cathode gas system does not include a heat exchanger with fuel gas, and is a highly safe system.
  • FIG. 4 is a flow diagram around the multistage preconverter 14 of FIG. Table 1 shows an example of the heat balance and material balance in FIG.
  • Table 1 shows that the mixed gas MF and the reforming steam STM are divided into four equal parts, and the reaction of the first stage R1 is started by the fuel gas heater 13 in the example of the multistage preconverter 14 having four stages of catalyst layers R1 to R4. It is the calculation result which made temperature 250 degreeC.
  • the numbers surrounded by ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ are the stream numbers in this flowchart, and Table 1 shows the state and composition of each gas at the main positions.
  • the outlet temperature of the first stage catalyst R1 is 416 ° C. under these conditions, but the outlet temperatures of the 2nd to 4th stage catalyst layers are all 400 ° C. or less, and there is no significant temperature increase due to the methanation reaction. It can also be seen that the outlet temperature of the final catalyst layer R4 is 350 ° C. and the methane concentration is sufficiently high. Further, under this condition, the value converted into the reforming rate of methane is about 5%, and there is no problem with the cooling effect of the fuel cell. It can be seen that the fluctuation range of the operating temperature is 250 to 416 ° C., and a very stable operation is possible.
  • the above-described fuel cell power generation system of the present invention has high power generation efficiency, is suitable as a distributed power source that can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere, and is considered to be widely used as a new power generation facility from the viewpoint of effective use of resources and improvement of the global environment. .
  • improvement of power generation efficiency and reduction of atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide have been studied, but in reality there are many distributed power sources, and it is difficult to reduce carbon dioxide for these. It did not progress.
  • the present invention has made it possible to reduce the carbon dioxide gas of the distributed power source.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de production électrique de pile à combustible à carbonate fondu (MCFC) à recyclage d'hydrogène, capable d'améliorer l'efficacité de la production électrique grâce à l'utilisation efficace d'un gaz combustible dont l'hydrogène est inclus dans un échappement d'anode en tant que composant principal, et capable de réduire la quantité de dioxyde de carbone évacué grâce à la séparation et la récupération du dioxyde de carbone. Ledit système est pourvu des éléments suivants : une pile à combustible à carbonate fondu (9) ; un système de séparation du dioxyde de carbone (20) qui sépare et récupère une partie du dioxyde de carbone provenant de l'échappement de l'anode (AE) depuis la pile à combustible ; un mélangeur de gaz qui mélange le gaz combustible recyclé (RF) après qu'une partie du dioxyde de carbone a été séparée de l'échappement d'anode avec un nouveau gaz combustible (F) qui est fourni depuis l'extérieur pour réaliser un gaz combustible mélangé (MF) ; un appareil de réchauffement du gaz combustible (13) qui dévie une partie du gaz combustible mélangé, le préchauffe à une température constante et ajoute une vapeur de reformage (STM) ; et un pré-convertisseur multi-étage (14) qui réalise simultanément une réaction de reformage et une réaction de méthanation du gaz combustible mélangé. Le gaz combustible mélangé sortant du pré-convertisseur multi-étage est fourni à l'anode (A) de la pile à combustible.
