- the pressure of the low temperature liquid F5 in this state S10 is a pressure corresponding to the pressure upstream of the six-stage compression impeller 16 and downstream of the fifth intermediate cooler 25.
- the low-temperature liquid F5 is heated by exchanging heat with the cooling unit 4 and is vaporized while being in an isobaric state, and becomes a gas or a supercritical fluid in the state S6a on the upstream side of the six-stage compression impeller 16.
- This gas or supercritical fluid is returned to the upstream side of the six-stage compression impeller 16 by the bypass flow path 7 and mixed into the intermediate supercritical fluid F1 flowing through the compression section 2.
- the compression of the carbon dioxide F at the front stage is performed by the compression unit 2, and the boosting at the rear stage having a higher pressure is performed by the pump unit 3, thereby the target pressure liquid F3.
- the target supercritical fluid F4 that can be stored in the ground or on the seabed can be obtained by finally heating to a critical temperature or higher by the heating unit 5.
- the pump unit 3 is employed on the high pressure side. Since the pump unit 3 pressurizes the liquid, it is very advantageous to easily seal the target fluid when the pressure is increased to a high pressure state (about 15 to 60 [MPa]). The cost increase can be avoided and the problems of reliability and operation efficiency can be solved.
- the cooling in the sixth intermediate cooler 26 is performed in the state S7a in order to avoid compression in the transition region where the characteristics become unstable.
- the supercritical fluid after pressurization is in a higher temperature than the target supercritical fluid F4. Therefore, in order to obtain the target supercritical fluid F4, an aftercooler or the like that performs cooling after compression is further required.

Thereby, the pressure of the target supercritical fluid F4 can be supplied in a stabilized state.
- cooling temperature adjusting unit 9 since the cooling temperature adjusting unit 9 is provided, it is not necessary to provide a control valve or the like corresponding to a high pressure load as the flow rate adjusting unit 92. Therefore, cost can be reduced. Furthermore, the pressure loss generated in the flow rate adjustment unit 92 when using a high-pressure valve can be reduced.

Abstract
Description
ここで近年、温室効果ガスとして知られる二酸化炭素の排出量増大によって地球温暖化等の問題が顕在化してきている。特に火力発電所の排気ガスには大量の二酸化炭素が含まれており、この二酸化炭素を分離・回収した後に、昇圧システムによって昇圧し、陸上の地中や海底の地中へ貯留することで大気中の二酸化炭素を低減する技術が知られている。
また、冷却部における主冷却部によって、圧縮部で圧縮された中間超臨界流体を冷却して中間超臨界圧液体を生成し、この中間超臨界圧液体をポンプ部へ導入可能とするとともに、中間超臨界流体の冷却の際に回収した熱を利用して加熱部との間で熱交換を行うことで、より効率良く臨界温度以上まで中間超臨界圧液体を加熱して目標とする圧力、温度の超臨界流体(目標超臨界流体)を得ることができる。
換言すると、目標とする超臨界圧流体の圧力が予め定められた所望の圧力から逸脱している場合には、流量決定部は判定部の判定結果に基づいて冷却媒体の流量を調整する。これにより、目標超臨界圧流体の圧力をより安定的に維持することができる。
さらに、冷却温度調整部が、冷却部で生成される中間超臨界流体の温度を調整することで、目標超臨界流体の圧力を調整することができる。
なお、ギアド圧縮機は、複数のインペラを、歯車を介して連動させた多軸多段構成の圧縮機である。
予冷却部29は、外部冷却媒体Wによって中間超臨界流体F1を予冷却する熱交換器である。
即ち、この加熱部5では、主冷却部28との間での熱交換を行うことにより、主冷却部28で中間超臨界流体F1を冷却して得た凝縮熱によって目標圧液体F3の加熱を行う。
管路8pの中途位置には、圧力検出部Pが設けられている。圧力検出部Pは、管路8pを流通する目標超臨界流体F4の圧力値を計測する圧力計測手段と、その圧力値を外部に電気信号として送信する手段とを有している。圧力検出部Pとしては、例えば公知の圧力センサーモジュール等が採用される。
具体的にはこの抽液減圧部6は、主冷却部28とポンプ部3との間の管路8mから分岐するように、一端がこの管路8mに接続された分岐管路41と、この分岐管路41の他端が接続されて主冷却部28との間で熱交換を行う熱交換部42と、を有している。さらに、分岐管路41の中途位置には、後述の流量調整部92が設けられている。流量調整部92は、その開度を調節することが可能な弁部である。本実施形態では、弁部として例えば流量調節弁が採用される。
流量調整部92は、開度を調節することによって抽液した中間超臨界圧液体F2に対してジュールトムソン効果による減圧を行い、低温液体F5を生成する。ここで、上述の流量調整部92の開度は、制御部91によって調節される。
制御部91は、例えば図3に示すように、圧力検出部Pに接続される判定部91aと、判定部91aに接続される流量決定部91bと、を有している。
判定部91aは、圧力検出部Pに電気的に接続されるとともに、圧力検出部Pが検出した検出値が予め設定された所定の圧力範囲に属するか否かの判定処理を行う。この所定の圧力範囲は、昇圧システム1によって生成される目標超臨界流体F4の目標圧を含む数値範囲であって、不図示の入力手段を介して判定部91aに入力され、判定部91にて記憶、保持される。
このようにして、制御部91は流量調整部92の開度を決定する。その後、流量決定部91bは流量調整部92に開度の増減に係る指示情報を伝達する。流量決定部91bからの指示情報が入力された流量調整部92(流量調節弁)はその指示情報に従って開度を調整する。
圧縮部2において、一段圧縮インペラ11に導入された導入気体F0(状態S1a)は、図2の実線の矢印に示すように、一段圧縮インペラ11によって圧縮されて状態S1aよりも高圧で高温の状態S1bとなる。その後、第一中間冷却器21によって等圧で冷却されて状態S2aとなる。そしてこのように圧縮と冷却を繰り返して、状態S2b→状態S3a→状態S3b→状態S4a→状態S4b→状態S5a→状態S5b→状態S6a→状態S6b→状態S7a→状態S7bと状態変化し、臨界圧以上の圧力の中間超臨界流体F1の状態となる(圧縮工程)。
また、この低温液体F5は冷却部4との間で熱交換することで加熱されて等圧状態のまま気化し、六段圧縮インペラ16の上流側における状態S6aの気体又は超臨界流体となる。この気体または超臨界流体がバイパス流路7によって六段圧縮インペラ16の上流側へ返送され、圧縮部2を流通する中間超臨界流体F1に混入される。
ここで、図2に示すP-h線図によると、臨界圧力未満では等温線が縦軸(圧力)に略平行となるように立ち上がるとともに、等温線同士の間隔が狭くなっている。一方で、臨界圧以上であって臨界温度付近の遷移領域では、等温線は横軸(エンタルピー)に略平行となるとともに等温線同士の間隔が広くなっている。従って遷移領域では、二酸化炭素Fが等圧状態で状態変化する際に、より小さな温度変化でより大きなエンタルピー変化が生じることとなる。
このように、ポンプ部3に導入される中間超臨界圧液体F2の温度を調節することで、ポンプ部3のポンプ回転数等を変えることなく、最終的に得られる目標超臨界流体F4の圧力(目標圧)を調節することができる。
さらに、図4に示すように、流量が小さい条件においても、ポンプ部3に導入される中間超臨界圧液体F2の温度を調節することで、ポンプ部3のポンプ回転数等を変えることなく、最終的に得られる目標超臨界流体F4の圧力を一定の目標圧に調節することができる。
したがって、ポンプ部3に例えば可変速モータ等を設けることなく、目標の圧力を得ることができる。
すなわち、IGVの開度を小さくすることで吐出圧力を低くするにしたがって、許容される流量範囲(運転範囲)を拡大することができる。
