As a result, the pressure inside the condenser 114 is sufficiently reduced, and the thermal efficiency of the thermal cycle such as the Rankine cycle including the turbine 110, the condenser 114, and the boiler 10 is improved.
- the ammonia supply unit 60 that can secure the amount of heat for vaporizing the liquid ammonia and improve the thermal efficiency of the heat cycle is realized.
- the ratio of the latent heat of vaporization to the calorific value of ammonia is about 6%, which is higher than that of fuel such as propane (the ratio of the latent heat of vaporization to the calorific value is about 0.8%). Therefore, when liquid ammonia is vaporized using the steam extracted from the turbine 110 as a heat source, power generation efficiency tends to be lowered.
- the heat exhausted in the condenser 114 is used to vaporize the liquid ammonia, and the pressure drop in the condenser 114 is accelerated, so the turbine efficiency of the turbine 110 is increased. It is possible to suppress a decrease in power generation efficiency.
- the ammonia vaporizer 61 includes two or more vaporizers 61A provided in parallel.
- two vaporizers 61A are provided as heat transfer tubes. Liquid ammonia supplied from the ammonia tank 71 is vaporized while flowing through one of the vaporizers 61A.
- the two vaporizers 61A may operate (vaporization processing) at different timings, or may operate simultaneously. According to the above configuration, each of the two or more vaporizers 61A provided in parallel discharges ammonia gas having approximately the same temperature. Therefore, the amount of ammonia gas generated per unit time that has reached the specified temperature increases.
- the ammonia supply unit 60A includes a switching valve 76 for switching the operating state of each vaporizer 61A.
- the switching valve 76 of this example is an opening/closing valve provided in each of the two liquid ammonia supply pipes 74, and the number of the switching valves 76 is two. Liquid ammonia from the supply line 72 flows through the liquid ammonia supply pipe 74 with the switching valve 76 open, and is supplied to the vaporizer 61A. As a result, the vaporizer 61A is activated to perform the vaporization process.
- the switching valve 76 may be a three-way valve (channel switching valve) provided at the connection between the two liquid ammonia supply pipes 74 and the supply line 72 . In this case, the number of switching valves 76 is one.
- FIG. 4 is a graph conceptually illustrating operating periods of two vaporizers in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure;
- the two vaporizers 61A are configured to alternately perform the vaporization process according to the operation of the switching valve 76 .
- the end time of one vaporization process and the start time of the other vaporization process are the same.
- the other vaporization process may start.
- one vaporization process may begin before the other vaporization process ends. This is because when the two vaporizers are operated for a certain period of time at the time of switching, fluctuations in the flow rate at the time of switching are reduced, and a constant amount of ammonia gas can be stably supplied.
- vapor or condensate may adhere to the operating vaporizer 61A as deposits such as frost or ice.
- the deposits adhere to the outer surface of the heat transfer tubes forming the vaporizer 61A. It should be noted that such deposition of deposits can occur even when the vaporizer 61A is immersed in condensed water. If the vaporizer 61A continues the vaporization process as it is, there is a risk that the precipitates will accumulate further, hindering the heat transfer to the liquid ammonia, and liquid ammonia may remain in the ammonia gas discharged from the vaporizer 61A. .
- the ammonia supply unit 60A can continuously and stably perform the liquid ammonia vaporization process.
- the ammonia supply unit 60A of the first embodiment includes a temperature sensor 78 for detecting the temperature of ammonia gas on the outlet side of the vaporizer 61A.
- a temperature sensor 78 is provided on each of the two ammonia gas outlet tubes 77 .
- the two ammonia gas outlet pipes 77 are connected to the outlets of the two vaporizers 61A, respectively.
- the ammonia gas flowing through the two ammonia gas outlet pipes 77 is supplied to the boiler 10 via the ammonia gas supply pipe 69 described above.
- the ammonia supply unit 60A includes a controller 90 configured to control the switching valve 76 based on the measurement results of the two temperature sensors 78. However, in FIG. 3, the controller 90 is electrically connected only to one temperature sensor 78 and one switching valve 76 for the convenience of making the drawing easier to see.
- the controller 90 includes a processor that executes various arithmetic processes, and a memory that non-temporarily or temporarily stores various data processed by the processor.
- a processor is implemented by a CPU, a GPU, an MPU, a DSP, various arithmetic devices other than these, or a combination thereof.
- Memory may be implemented by ROM, RAM, flash memory, or a combination thereof. Note that the controller 90 may be configured to control the power plant 1 .
- the controller 90 is configured to adjust the operating period of the ammonia vaporizer 61 through control of the switching valve 76 so that excessive deposits do not accumulate on the ammonia vaporizer 61 .
- the principle is as follows. As the deposit accumulates in the ammonia vaporizer 61, the amount of heat used for vaporizing the liquid ammonia decreases, so the outlet temperature of the ammonia gas tends to decrease. Therefore, in response to the fact that the outlet temperature of the ammonia gas discharged from the ammonia vaporizer 61 in operation satisfies a specified drop condition (details will be described later), the vaporization process in the ammonia vaporizer 61 in operation is suspended. , the other ammonia vaporizer 61 starts the vaporization process. As a result, the ammonia vaporizer 61 that performs the vaporization process can be automatically switched, and discharge of liquid ammonia from the ammonia vaporizer 61 can be suppressed.
- the controller 90 of the present embodiment opens the switching valve corresponding to one of the temperature sensors 78 when determining that the outlet temperature measured by one of the temperature sensors 78 satisfies a specified drop condition.
- the two switching valves 76 are controlled such that one switching valve 76 is closed and the other switching valve 76 that is closed is opened. This control is realized by sending a control signal from the controller 90 to each switching valve 76 .
- the above drop condition is that the temperature characteristic value specified based on the outlet temperature measured by the temperature sensor 78 falls below a prescribed threshold value.
- the temperature characteristic value of this embodiment is the same as the outlet temperature measured by the temperature sensor 78 .
- the temperature characteristic value of another embodiment is specified by measuring the temperature sensor 78 a plurality of times.
- the temperature characteristic value is a temperature average value, a temperature prediction value, or a temperature change rate of the ammonia gas outlet temperature.
- the above temperature change rate becomes a negative value.
- a single temperature sensor 78 may be provided in the ammonia gas supply pipe 69. Even in this case, if the operating periods of the two vaporizers 61A do not overlap, the outlet temperature of the ammonia gas discharged from the vaporizer 61A in operation is detected based on the detection result of the temperature sensor 78. It is possible. Therefore, the controller 90 can control the switching valve 76 based on the detection result of the single temperature sensor 78 .
- the switching valve 76 can be automatically opened and closed according to the outlet temperature of the ammonia gas. Therefore, excessive accumulation of deposits in the ammonia vaporizer 61 can be automatically suppressed.
- the ammonia supply unit 60A exemplified in FIG. 3 is configured to supply the boiler 10 with ammonia gas generated by the vaporization process. More specifically, the ammonia supply unit 60A includes an ammonia gas supply pipe 69 for supplying the boiler 10 with the ammonia gas vaporized by the ammonia vaporizer 61 . According to the above configuration, liquid ammonia can be changed into ammonia gas and supplied to the boiler 10 as fuel. Therefore, the heat source in the condenser 114 can be effectively used to supply ammonia gas as fuel to the boiler 10 .
- the first container 81 of the ammonia supply unit 60A accommodates the ammonia vaporizer 61 and the heat transfer tube 117.
- the ammonia vaporizer 61 is positioned upstream with respect to the heat transfer tube 117 in the direction in which the steam flows.
- heat exchange between steam and liquid ammonia is performed before heat exchange between steam and cooling water. Since heat is transferred from the vapor before it is cooled by the cooling water to the liquid ammonia, it is possible to ensure the amount of heat for vaporizing the liquid ammonia.

Therefore, steam or condensed water can be circulated without stagnation.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an ammonia supply unit according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure.

一方、一の構成要素を「備える」、「含む」、又は、「有する」という表現は、他の構成要素の存在を除外する排他的な表現ではない。
なお、同様の構成については同じ符号を付し説明を省略することがある。
図1は、本開示の一実施形態に係るボイラを表す概略図である。
煙道14に連結されるガスダクト41は、エアヒータ42より下流側の位置に、電気集塵機などの集塵装置44、誘引通風機(IDF:Induced Draft Fan)45、脱硫装置46などが設けられ、下流端部に煙突50が設けられている。
一実施形態では、アンモニア供給ユニット60を除く発電プラント1の上述の構成要素はいずれも既存の設備であり、アンモニア供給ユニット60はこれら既存の設備に対して追設される。
また、ボイラ10で用いられる燃料としては、バイオマス燃料や石油精製時に発生するPC(石油コークス:Petroleum Coke)燃料、石油残渣などの固体燃料であってもよい。また、燃料として固体燃料に限らず、重油、軽油、重質油などの石油類や工場廃液などの液体燃料も使用することができ、更には、燃料として気体燃料(天然ガス、副生ガスなど)も使用することができる。さらに、これら燃料を組み合わせて使用する混焼焚きボイラにも適用することができる。
また、気化したアンモニアガスはボイラ10の燃料以外に、他の発電手段(ガスタービン発電等)の燃料としてもよい。さらに、ガスタービンコンバインドサイクルプラントにおいて設置された復水器114で気化されたアンモニアガスを、ガスタービンの燃料として用いてもよい。
図3は、本開示の第1の実施形態に係るアンモニア供給ユニットを示す概略図である。第1の施形態に係るアンモニア供給ユニット60A(60)の詳説に先立ち、復水器114について詳説する。復水器114は、伝熱管117を収容する第1容器81を含む。復水器114はタービン110(低圧タービン113)の真下に配置される。
第1の実施形態に係るアンモニア供給ユニット60A(60)は、液体アンモニアを貯留するアンモニアタンク71と、復水器114の内部に設けられた少なくとも1つのアンモニア気化器61と、アンモニアタンク71からアンモニア気化器61に液体アンモニアを供給するための供給ライン72と、供給ライン72に設けられた供給ポンプ73とを備える。一例として、アンモニア気化器61は復水器114の第1容器81の内部に設けられた伝熱管であり、供給ポンプ73の駆動に伴いアンモニアタンク71から供給される液体アンモニアは伝熱管を流れる過程で気化する。
また、アンモニアにおける発熱量に対する蒸発潜熱の割合は約6%であり、例えばプロパン(発熱量に対する蒸発潜熱の割合は約0.8%)などの燃料と比較しても高い。従って、タービン110から抽気した蒸気を熱源として液体アンモニアを気化処理する場合には、発電効率の低下を招きやすい。しかしながら、本実施形態では、復水器114において排熱されることとなる熱を利用して液体アンモニアの気化処理を行うと共に、復水器114における圧力降下を促進するので、タービン110のタービン効率が上昇し、発電効率の低下を抑制することができる。
さらに他の実施形態では、一方の気化処理が終了する前に他の気化処理を開始してもよい。切り替え時に二つの気化器が一定の時間重複して稼働したほうが、切り替え時の流量の変動が少なく、安定して一定量のアンモニアガスを供給できるためである。
気化器61Aがそのまま気化処理を継続すると、析出物がさらに堆積し、液体アンモニアへの熱伝達が阻害されるおそれがあり、気化器61Aから排出されるアンモニアガスに液体アンモニアが残存するおそれがある。この点、上記構成によれば、一方の気化器61Aが気化処理し、且つ他方の気化器61Aが休止する時間帯が生じる。他方の気化器61Aでは、付着した析出物が復水器114の内部の蒸気または凝縮水によって除去される。よって、アンモニア供給ユニット60Aは、液体アンモニアの気化処理を継続的且つ安定的に実行することができる。
このように、並列に設けられた2以上の気化器61Aを全て同時に稼働させるよりも、各々の気化器61Aの稼働状態を選択的に切り替える方が、規定温度に達したアンモニアガスを継続的且つ安定的に生成できる。
コントローラ90は、各種演算処理を実行するプロセッサと、プロセッサによって処理される各種データを非一時的または一時的に記憶するメモリとを備える。プロセッサは、CPU、GPU、MPU、DSP、これら以外の各種演算装置、又はこれらの組み合わせなどによって実現される。メモリは、ROM、RAM、フラシュメモリ、またはこれらの組み合わせなどによって実現される。なお、コントローラ90は発電プラント1を制御するように構成されてもよい。
なお、上記の降下条件は、温度センサ78により計測される出口温度に基づいて特定される温度特性値が規定の閾値を下回ることである。本実施形態の温度特性値は、温度センサ78によって計測された出口温度と同一である。他の実施形態の温度特性値は、温度センサ78が複数回に亘り計測することで特定される。より具体的な一例として温度特性値は、アンモニアガスの出口温度の温度平均値、温度予測値、または温度変化率などである。なお、アンモニアガスの出口温度が継続的に低下する場合には、上記の温度変化率は負の値となる。
図5は、本開示の第2の実施形態に係るアンモニア供給ユニットを示す概略図である。第2の実施形態に係るアンモニア供給ユニット60B(60)は、少なくとも1つのアンモニア気化器61を収容する第2容器82と、復水器114の第1容器81と第2容器82とを連通する連通管85とを備える。第2容器82には、タービン110(低圧タービン113)からの蒸気が連通管85を経由して流入する。流入した蒸気はアンモニア気化器61を流れる液体アンモニアと熱交換することで凝縮する。従って、第2容器82はタービン110からの蒸気を復水する機能を担うので、復水器114の一部を形成すると了解される。第2容器82で生じた凝縮水は、アンモニア供給ユニット60Bの構成要素である排水管83を経由して第1容器81に流れる。
なお、図示される実施形態では、連通管85が第1容器81と第2容器82とに接続されるが、これに代えて、タービン110及び第1容器81の間にある蒸気流路89と第2容器82とに接続されてもよい。この場合であっても、蒸気流路89の下流端が第1容器81と接続されているのであれば、第1容器81と第2容器82は互いに並列に設けられる。図5の例示では、アンモニア気化器61は、第2容器82の内部に設けられた2つの気化器61Aを備えるが、これら2つの気化器61Aは互いに並列に接続されてもよい。また、第1容器81の内部に別のアンモニア気化器61が設けられてもよい。つまり、アンモニア気化器61の個数は2個以上であってもよい。
図6は、本開示の第3実施形態に係るアンモニア供給ユニットを示す概略図である。第3の実施形態に係るアンモニア供給ユニット60C(60)は、第1容器81と第2容器82とが直列に設けられる点で、アンモニア供給ユニット60Bとは異なる。構成の具体的な違いを説明すると、蒸気流路89の接続先を第1容器81に代えて第2容器82とし、アンモニア供給ユニット60C(60)は、連通管85(図5参照)に代えて、連通管86を備える。蒸気流路89は、タービン110(低圧タービン113)の下流側流路を形成しており、タービン110と第2容器82とに接続される。連通管86は、第2容器82と第1容器81とに接続される。従って、タービン110から排出される蒸気は蒸気流路89を経由して第2容器82に流入する。第2容器82で生じた凝縮水は排水管83を介し、第2容器82の復水処理において残存した蒸気は連通管86を介し、第1容器81に流入し、第1容器81は残存した蒸気を復水処理する。
図7は、本開示の一実施形態に係る発電プラント用のアンモニア気化処理方法を示すフローチャートである。図8は、本開示の一実施形態に係る気化処理工程を示すフローチャートである。図7、図8で示されるフローチャートは、一例としてコントローラ90によって実行される。また、以下で説明するアンモニア気化処理方法によって生成されるアンモニアガスは燃料または還元剤のいずれに用いられてもよい。以下の説明では、ステップを「S」と略記する場合がある。
上述した幾つかの実施形態に記載の内容は、例えば以下のように把握されるものである。
タービン(110)から排出される蒸気を復水処理するための復水器(114)の内部に設けられ、液体アンモニアを気化処理するための少なくとも1つのアンモニア気化器(61)を備える。
