Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, in order to achieve the above object, the energy storage device based on zinc sublimation and oxidation according to the present invention includes a regenerator 3 having an insulating layer on an outer wall;
a heat storage cavity is formed in the regenerative furnace 3, an electric heating system is arranged in the heat storage cavity, the regenerative furnace 3 is further provided with a feed port 31 and a gas outlet 32, the feed port 31 is used for adding solid zinc into the heat storage cavity, and the gas outlet 32 is used for discharging zinc vapor;
the gas outlet 32 is communicated to the oxidation reactor 11 through a zinc vapor pipeline, the oxidation reactor 11 is provided with an oxygen inlet 111, a first water storage cavity 112 is surrounded on the outer layer of the oxidation reactor 11, the first water storage cavity 112 is used for being communicated with a user pipe network, and the first water storage cavity 112 is used for absorbing reaction heat in the oxidation reactor 11 through water to generate water vapor and providing the water vapor for the user pipe network; the first water storage chamber is connected with a steam drum (not shown).
The technical scheme of the utility model, in the low ebb electricity period, heat up to more than 907 ℃ of zinc sublimation temperature in with regenerator 3 through electric heating system, then drop into zinc material 5 in to regenerator 3 through dog-house 31, and close dog-house 31, make zinc material 5 sublime into the zinc vapour in regenerator 3, sublimation in-process zinc material 5 absorbs heat, turn into the heat energy in the zinc vapour with the low-priced electric energy of low ebb electricity period. During normal electricity usage periods, high-temperature zinc vapor is transported to the oxidation reactor 11 through the gas outlet 32, and oxygen is input into the oxidation reactor 11 through the oxygen inlet 111, so that the zinc vapor reacts with the oxygen in the oxidation reactor 11 to produce zinc oxide. The process of generating zinc oxide is an exothermic process, so that the released heat and the heat of the unreacted zinc vapor itself can be transferred to the water in the first water storage cavity 112, so that the water is converted into high-temperature water vapor and is conveyed to the user pipe network. In the process of converting the electric energy in the valley electricity stage into the heat energy, compared with the zinc and the water in the same volume, the sublimation heat absorbed by the zinc and the oxidation heat released by the zinc are more than twenty times of the heat absorbed by the water vaporization (the sublimation heat per kilogram of the zinc is 2003.36kJ, the oxidation heat per kilogram of the zinc is 5355kJ, the water vaporization heat is 2260kJ/kg, and the density of the zinc is about 7.14 times of that of the water). Therefore, the zinc sublimation energy storage mode in the technical scheme is favorable for avoiding the problem that the heat absorbed by the heat storage carrier with unit mass in the existing energy storage technology is less.
Specifically, the chemical reaction formula in the oxidation reactor is as follows: 2Zn O 2 =2ZnO. Wherein Zn is zinc vapor, and the oxidation reaction product is zinc oxide crystal.
Taking the prior art that the temperature of 1kg of water is raised from 20 ℃ to 100 ℃ by heating up to 80 ℃ together, the heat absorbed in the vaporization process is 2596kJ (the sum of the vaporization latent heat and the specific heat of water, the vaporization heat of water is 2260kJ/kg, the heat absorption of steam of 1kg of water from 20 ℃ of water to 100 ℃ of water is about 80 x 4.2+2260= 2596kJ), and the heat absorbed by sublimation of 1kg of solid zinc is 2000kJ, so that the heat absorbed by sublimation of zinc in the same mass is 0.77 times (about 2000/2596=0.77 times) of the heat absorbed by vaporization of water, but the volume occupied by zinc is greatly reduced because the density difference is higher than 7 times. Besides the energy storage mode of water vaporization heat absorption, the heat storage of the magnesia heat storage brick is also a common energy storage mode, 1 kilogram of the magnesia heat storage brick is heated to 750 ℃ through a resistance wire, the absorbed heat is 1095kJ, and the absorbed heat of the same mass of zinc sublimation is 1.8 times of the absorbed heat of the magnesia heat storage brick.

This example serves to provide another way of preparing water vapor during normal electricity usage periods: high-temperature zinc vapor is transmitted to the first evaporation chamber 6 through the gas outlet 32, the zinc vapor transfers heat to water in the second water storage cavity 65 in the first evaporation chamber 6, so that the water is converted into the high-temperature water vapor and is conveyed to a user pipe network or is stored in the water vapor storage tank 8, and the zinc vapor in the first evaporation chamber 6 is gradually cooled to form liquid zinc or solid zinc.
Further, the zinc vapor pipeline includes a main pipe, a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe, one end of the main pipe is communicated with the gas outlet 32, the other end of the main pipe is communicated with an inlet of a flow divider, a first outlet of the flow divider is communicated with one end of the first branch pipe, and the other end of the first branch pipe is communicated with the oxidation reactor 11; and a second outlet of the flow divider is communicated with one end of the second branch pipe, and the other end of the second branch pipe is communicated with the first evaporation chamber 6.
Specifically, the flow dividing valve is used for adjusting the flow rates of the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe in equal proportion, or adjusting the flow rates of the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe according to a set proportion, so that the flow rate of the zinc vapor flowing into the oxidation reactor 11 and the first evaporation chamber 6 is controlled.

In the second stage, in the normal electricity utilization period, a part of high-temperature zinc vapor is transmitted to the oxidation reactor 11 through the gas outlet 32, the main pipe and the first branch pipe, and oxygen is input into the oxidation reactor 11 through the oxygen inlet 111, so that the zinc vapor and the oxygen react in the oxidation reactor 11 to generate zinc oxide, and zinc oxide particles are separated from other gases through the cyclone separator 9 (the remaining mixed gas of the zinc vapor and the oxygen is recycled through the condenser to obtain liquid zinc, the liquid zinc is condensed into solid and then can be repeatedly put into the regenerator 3 for use, and the oxygen discharged after passing through the condenser can be recycled); the other part of the high-temperature zinc vapor is transmitted to the first evaporation chamber 6 through the gas outlet 32, the main pipe and the second branch pipe, the zinc vapor transfers heat to water in the second water storage cavity 65 in the first evaporation chamber 6, so that the water is converted into the high-temperature water vapor and is transmitted to a user pipe network or is stored in the water vapor storage tank 8, and the zinc vapor in the first evaporation chamber 6 is gradually cooled to form liquid zinc or solid zinc, and can be put into the regenerative furnace 3 for recycling.

The reaction is endothermic, and the electric energy in the next low valley electricity period can be stored in the endothermic reaction process, and finally zinc vapor is obtained.
A fourth stage of transferring a part of the high-temperature mixed gas obtained in the third stage to the oxidation reactor 11 through the gas outlet 32, the main pipe and the first branch pipe during the next normal power consumption period, and inputting oxygen into the oxidation reactor 11 through the oxygen inlet 111, so that zinc vapor and oxygen react in the oxidation reactor 11 to form zinc oxide, and CO is oxidized to form CO 2 The zinc oxide particles are separated from the other gases by a cyclone 9 (after separation, the remaining mixed gas may contain zinc vapor and O 2 CO and CO 2 The mixed gas is recycled by a condenser to obtain liquid zinc so as to realize two-phase separation with other gases, the gas after the two-phase separation can be combusted and discharged, the combustion heat can be further utilized in the system, and the liquid zinc can be repeatedly put into a regenerative furnace 3 for use after being condensed into solid; the other part of the high-temperature mixed gas obtained in the third stage is transmitted to the first evaporation chamber 6 through the gas outlet 32, the main pipe and the second branch pipe, the high-temperature mixed gas transfers heat to water in the second water storage cavity 65 in the first evaporation chamber 6, the water is converted into high-temperature water vapor and is conveyed to a user pipe network or is stored in the water vapor storage tank 8, the zinc vapor in the first evaporation chamber 6 is gradually cooled to form liquid zinc or solid zinc, two-phase separation is realized with CO gas, CO can be combusted and discharged, and the combustion heat can be further utilized in the system.
Zinc and zinc oxide are obtained through both the second and fourth stages, and may be repeatedly charged into the regenerator 3 during the third round off-peak period, and continue to cycle as per the methods of the third and fourth stages (when zinc and zinc oxide are simultaneously charged into the regenerator 3, zinc is directly sublimated into zinc vapor, and zinc oxide is reduced into zinc vapor). Therefore, the utility model discloses not only can be through the mode heat accumulation of zinc sublimation, simultaneously, can also absorb more heat through the process that zinc oxide reduced into zinc vapour (when zinc oxide and solid carbon took place reduction reaction, the absorbed heat was about 4515 kJ/kg).
The mode of zinc sublimation + zinc oxide reduction among this technical scheme can both utilize the electric energy in the low ebb electricity stage, and the energy storage mode that both combine in addition zinc oxidation reaction's is exothermic, is favorable to avoiding the less problem of unit volume's heat accumulation carrier absorbing heat among the current energy storage technology.
In addition, considering that the regenerator is charged with two gases of zinc vapor and CO generated by the reaction of zinc oxide and solid carbon, in order to avoid the volume of the regenerator 3 from being too large, the regenerator 3 may be pressurized to form a pressurized heat storage chamber inside.
