Definitions
- Natural gas isostatic liquefaction device Natural gas isostatic liquefaction device
- the invention relates to a natural gas isobaric liquefaction device, which belongs to the technical field of deep freezing.
- Natural gas is a high-quality and clean fossil energy source and plays an important role in the national economy.
- the liquefaction and storage of natural gas is a key technology for its development and utilization. It has formed an industry at home and abroad, growing at an average rate of 8% per year. In recent years, China's energy consumption structure has grown rapidly. LNG technology has become a high-tech technology and has received more and more attention from science and technology disciplines.
- Cascade liquefaction process also called cascade liquefaction process, cascade liquefaction process or tandem evaporation condensate liquefaction process, mainly used in basic load natural gas liquefaction plant;
- mixed refrigerant liquefaction process the so-called MRC liquefaction process
- MRC is C1 to C5 hydrocarbons, and N 2 and other five-component multi-component mixed refrigerant as the working medium, for stepwise condensation, evaporation Throttle expansion to obtain cooling capacity at different temperature levels, in order to achieve the purpose of gradual cooling and liquefied natural gas.
- MRC not only achieves the purpose of a similar cascade liquefaction process, but also overcomes the shortcomings of its complex system. Since the 1980s, for the basic load natural gas liquefaction plant, the newly built and expanded basic load natural gas liquefaction process has almost exclusively adopted the propane pre-cooling mixed refrigerant liquefaction process;
- Liquefaction process with expander refers to the process of liquefying natural gas by using the Claude cycle in the refrigerant re-turbine expander.
- the gas expands and works in the expander while reducing the temperature and recovering work. According to the different refrigerants, it can be divided into a nitrogen expansion liquefaction process and a natural gas expansion liquefaction process.
- the advantages of this type of process are: (1) The process is simple, flexible, reliable, easy to start, easy to operate, and easy to maintain; (2) When using natural gas as a working medium, it can save special production, transportation, storage and transportation. The cost of the agent.
- the disadvantages are: (1) feeding The airflow of the device needs to be fully dried; (2) The return pressure is low, the heat exchange area is large, and the equipment metal input is large; (3) It is limited by the number of low-pressure users; (4) The liquefaction rate is low, such as recycling, it is increasing. After the recycle compressor, the power consumption is greatly increased. Because the liquefaction process with expander is relatively simple and the investment is moderate, it is especially suitable for peaking natural gas liquefaction equipment with less liquefaction ability.
- Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a cascading natural gas liquefaction process.
- Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the liquefaction process of the APCI propane precooled mixed refrigerant.

- the indicator is the coefficient of refrigeration, which is the ratio of the benefits received and the cost of the cost, and is measured by the atmospheric temperature. With all refrigeration cycles between the temperature and the low temperature heat source (such as cold storage), the cooling coefficient of the reverse Carnot cycle is the highest:
- the temperature of the high temperature heat source in formula (2) is 7; and the temperature of the low temperature heat source is ⁇ 2 is higher than the atmospheric temperature ⁇ . And can draw the following important conclusions: 1) The thermal efficiency of the Carnot cycle is determined only by the temperature of the high-temperature heat source and the low-temperature heat source, that is, the temperature at which the working medium absorbs heat and exotherms. Increasing the temperature of 7 and ⁇ 2 can improve the thermal efficiency.
- the Carnot cycle and its thermal efficiency formula are of great significance in the development of thermodynamics.
- the study of the Carnot cycle points out the direction for improving the thermal efficiency of various thermodynamic machines. It is possible to increase the endothermic temperature of the working medium and reduce the exothermic temperature of the working medium as much as possible. , the exotherm is carried out near the lowest temperature that can be naturally obtained, that is, the atmospheric temperature.
- the method of utilizing adiabatic compression to increase the heat absorption temperature of the gas proposed in the Carnot cycle has hitherto been widely used in gas-based thermodynamic machines.
- the limit of the Carnot cycle is the atmospheric ambient temperature. For the refrigeration process cycle below ambient temperature, the Carnot cycle does not give a definitive answer.
- thermodynamics cannot make a simple, clear and intuitive explanation of the natural gas liquefaction cycle.
- the power consumption and utility consumption per ton of LNG is about 850 degrees, and the energy consumption of the process is extremely large.
- the purpose of the invention is to solve the imperfection of the theoretical analysis of the circulation of the natural gas liquefaction device by the Carnot's theorem, and propose a new refrigeration theory corresponding to the thermodynamic theory, namely the cold mechanics theory, and propose a new natural gas isobaric pressure designed by the principle.
- the liquefaction device overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional natural gas liquefaction process, high energy consumption, and must be equipped with excess public facilities such as circulating cooling water system, retaining and carrying forward the advantages of the liquefaction process with expander, and greatly reducing it.
- the energy consumption is more than 30%.
- the isobaric condensation of natural gas is realized, and the equipment maintenance and material spare capacity are greatly reduced, thereby realizing the transformation of natural gas liquefaction technology.
- the refrigeration device refers to the consumption of mechanical work to achieve the transfer of cold energy from an atmospheric environment to a low temperature cold source or from a low temperature cold source to a lower temperature cold source.
- refrigerants some substances are required as working substances of the refrigeration device, which are called refrigerants.
- the second law of cold mechanics is proposed: the essence of the second law of cold mechanics is the same as the essence of the second law of thermodynamics, and also follows the principle of energy decay. That is, different forms of cold energy have a "quality" difference in the ability to convert the amount of success; even if the same form of cold energy has different states of existence, its conversion ability is different.
- the actual process of all cold energy transmission always proceeds in the direction of decline in energy quality, and all cold energy will always spontaneously shift to the atmospheric environment.
- the process of improving the energy quality of cold energy cannot be carried out automatically and separately.
- the process of improving energy quality must be accompanied by the simultaneous decline of another energy quality.
- the process of energy quality decline is to achieve the process of energy quality increase.
- the necessary compensation conditions that is, at the cost of energy degradation, as compensation to promote the realization of the energy quality rise process.
- the process of energy degradation as a cost must be sufficient to compensate for the process of rising energy quality to meet the general rule that the total energy quality must fall. Therefore, under certain compensation conditions with reduced energy quality, the process of energy quality increase must have a maximum theoretical limit. This theoretical limit can only be reached under perfectly reversible ideal conditions. At this time, the energy quality rise value is exactly equal to the compensation value of the energy quality drop, so that the total energy quality remains unchanged.
- Tc2 ⁇ Tcl ⁇ To To is the ambient temperature, which is the Kelvin temperature scale.
- the maximum cooling efficiency of the cold source under Tcl and Tc2 is: Set to the cooling capacity of the q 2 cycle, w.
- the cold source temperature is Tel:
- the ambient temperature To is determined, the lower the cold source temperature, the same work is input from the cold source, and the more cooling capacity is obtained, which indicates the direction for constructing a new natural gas liquefaction plant process.
- the amount of cooling is spontaneously transmitted from a cold source to an ambient temperature
- the best type of work to be done outward is the temperature difference generator using the Seebeck effect, that is, the cold power generator;
- thermodynamics which is in line with the basic principles of scientific aesthetics, that is, the principle of oppositeism and symmetry.
