- the present invention relates to the capture of CO2 from the flue gas or flue gas of an engine or plant using carbon (e.g., coal) or hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, methanol, ethanol, etc.) as a fuel.
- carbon e.g., coal
- hydrocarbons e.g., methane, methanol, ethanol, etc.
- the fuel is oxidized, causing
- CO2 is formed.
- the heat generated during the oxidation process is either converted to mechanical or electrical energy (e.g., by a generator) or used directly as process heat or for heating (e.g., a building).
- Such machine may be a coal-fired or gas fired or oil fired power plant (e.g., a gas turbine)
- Combined cycle power station a stationary diesel engine, a building heating or a vehicle engine or the like.
- the principle of the invention is a treatment of the CO 2 -enriched exhaust gases or flue gases, which comprises the following steps:
- the exhaust gas or flue gas is cooled by means of a heat exchanger to ambient temperature (about 20 0 C - 25 ° C);
- the first refrigeration cycle CC1 extracts heat from the exhaust gas in the first evaporator 15 and delivers it to the cooling water flowing through the first condenser 26.
- the outlet temperature of the first evaporator 15 is selected so that no water can freeze on the heat exchanger surfaces of the first evaporator 15.
- the exhaust gas then flows through the second evaporator 16 of the second Refrigeration circuit CC2.
- the second evaporator 16 lowers the temperature of the exhaust to about -50 0 C.
- the capacitor 21 is arranged of this circuit at the output of the twisting nozzle 17 to utilize the cold of the exiting there residual gas.
- the two refrigeration circuits CC1 and CC2 are kept in motion by compressors 24, 25, which in the exemplary embodiment are driven by a common motor 23. Because of the low temperatures at the second evaporator 16, the residual water will be deposited in the exhaust gas at the local heat exchanger surfaces as ice film. Therefore, a defrosting process is required in which, at certain intervals, the water cooling in the heat exchanger 14 is reduced or completely switched off. It flows then exhaust gas with a temperature of about 100 0 C introduced into the evaporator 16, which leads to a deicing. De-icing takes up about 1% of the total operating time.
- the exhaust gas After leaving the second evaporator 16, the exhaust gas enters one (or more parallel) swirl nozzle (s) 17, where it is further cooled (as will be explained below) by acceleration. This further cooling leads to a separation of CO2 from the exhaust gas.
- the CO2 is extracted from the swirl nozzle 17 and then sent to a liquefaction plant 18 where it is liquefied and processed for further transport in a pipeline 19.
- FIG. 2 An essential component of the CO 2 separation device 10 of FIG. 1 is the swirl nozzle 17, which is shown in different views in FIG. 2.
- the swirl nozzle 17 is constructed coaxially and extends along an axis 38. It has in concentric arrangement an inner wall 29 and an outer wall 28, between which an annular channel for the exhaust gas flow is formed.
- the swirl nozzle 17 is divided into a tapered diameter inlet section 30, a central section 32 of constant (or slightly increasing or decreasing) diameter, and an end section 34 of rapidly expanding diameter.
- FIG. 2 (a) shows the input section 30 with radially acting inlet guide vanes 31 in the axial direction.
- FIG. 2 (b) shows the longitudinal section through the swirl nozzle 17.
- the exhaust gas (flue gas) enters from the left into the swirl nozzle 17 at a diameter Ri.
- the reason for the re-sublimation of the CO 2 particles is that the total pressure, the release of the heat of desublimation in the
- the gaseous CO2 remains concentrated in the outer zone of the swirl nozzle 17 because it (1) has a density 50% higher than air, and (2) the centrifugal flow field generates forces approximately 50,000 times the gravitational acceleration.
- the concentrated CO2 is extracted through slots in the outer wall 28 of the swirl nozzle 17 and passed via a CO2 outlet 33 to a liquefaction plant (18 in FIG. 1).
- the remaining offgas content is separated off and the resulting liquid is discharged via a pipeline (19 in FIG. 1).
- the main energy consumption during the CO 2 separation concerns the compressor 13, which increases the total pressure upstream of the evaporators 15, 16 of the refrigeration circuits CC1 and CC2. This increased total pressure is necessary to compensate for the pressure losses in the heat exchangers and especially in the swirl nozzles 17. Since the velocity in the swirl nozzle is predominantly oriented in the circumferential direction, the wall friction of the flow is governed by the azimuthal component of the velocity. In order to minimize the wall friction, two ways can be used, which are exemplified in Fig. 3 (a) and Fig. 3 (b).
- a swirl nozzle 17 ' air is injected through annular slots (ring nozzles 36) in the wall at an angle corresponding to the helix angle of the core flow.
- the flow is thereby accelerated in azimuthal direction and thus reduces the total pressure loss.
- the slots can be arranged concentrically in the inner wall 29 and / or the outer wall 28.
- a slot is created by arranging individual wall elements at a distance. The distance between the wall elements is maintained by ribs arranged to achieve the desired helix angle of the injected air.
- a similar acceleration of the flow can be achieved according to Fig.
- both techniques insufflation and rotation
- both techniques can be used on both the inner wall 29 and the outer wall 28.
- both techniques can also be used in the predominantly straight central part and in the terminal end section 34 both on the outside and on the inside.
- the end portion 34 of the swirl nozzle 17 acts as a diffuser which decelerates the flow to a low speed, with which it then leaves the swirl nozzle.
- This section is primarily responsible for the loss of total pressure that must be applied by the compressor 13. Diffusion can be enhanced by providing exhaust vanes that convert the residual swirl into an increase in static pressure.
- FIG. 4 shows the integration of a CO 2 separator 10 into a coal-fired, steam turbine steam power plant 40.
- Coal provided via a fuel feed 44 is burned in a boiler 41 comprising a combustor 43 and a steam generator 42.
- the steam generator provides high pressure, high temperature steam for a Rankine cycle.
- the flue gas leaves the boiler 41 at about 200 ° C.
- the flue gas is cooled down in a heat exchanger 39 through which cooling water flows, in order to cool the flue gas Flue gas temperature at the entrance of the CO 2 -Abtrennhchtung 10 to about 25 ° C to decrease.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show two exemplary possibilities for integrating the CO 2 separating device 10 into a combined cycle power station 50 or 60 equipped with gas turbines 46.
- the compressor 49 of the gas turbine 46 compresses ambient air supplied via the air supply 47, heats it by combustion of hydrocarbons (eg natural gas, oil, syngas etc.) in a combustion chamber 51 and relaxes the hot gas under working power in a turbine 52, which drives the compressor 49 and a generator 48.
- hydrocarbons eg natural gas, oil, syngas etc.
- HRSG heat recovery steam generator
- a variant of the combined cycle power plant 50 from FIG. 5 is the combined cycle power plant 60 from FIG. 6.
- a portion of the exhaust gas is branched off at a branch 55 located in the exhaust gas line 54 behind the heat exchanger 39 and returned via a return 56 to the inlet of the compressor 49.
- the amount of CO 2 in the exhaust gas led to the CO 2 separation device 10 is increased while the exhaust gas as a whole is reduced. This reduces the power consumption of the compressor 13 in the CO 2 separation device 10.
- Both variants can also be used in gas turbines with sequential combustion (eg of the type GT24 / GT26 of the applicant).
- FIG. 7 shows an example of the integration of the CO 2 separation device 10 from FIG. 1 into a combined heat and power plant 64, which is equipped, for example, with an internal combustion engine (diesel) 59, which receives the fuel via a fuel supply 61.
- a combined heat and power plant 64 which is equipped, for example, with an internal combustion engine (diesel) 59, which receives the fuel via a fuel supply 61.
- Such facilities can be larger buildings or groups of houses with Supply heat and electricity.
- the internal combustion engine 59 burns by means of ambient air hydrocarbons (eg diesel fuel) and generates mechanical or electrical energy.

- a power circuit PC which comprises an evaporator 58, a power turbine 63, a condenser 68 and a pump 62nd
- the heat released in the condenser 68 is used for heating purposes.
- the exhaust gas flows through the evaporator 58 of the power circuit PC and gives off further heat for heating purposes at a downstream, water-cooled heat exchanger 57.
- the exhaust gas temperature at the inlet of the CO 2 separator 10 is then again about 25 ° C.
- the power turbine 63 of the power circuit PC can thereby drive the compressor 13 of the CO 2 separation device 10.
- the system diagram of Fig. 7 can also be applied to land vehicles or watercraft with internal combustion engine.
- a boiler 65 is supplied with fuel (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.) via a fuel supply 67.
- fuel coal, oil, natural gas, etc.
- the existing in the exhaust CO2 can be separated without loss of energy, because the heater provides the power that is necessary to drive the compressor 13 of the CO 2 separator 10 via a power circuit PC. Instead of using the high temperature heat directly for the heater, it is introduced into the power circuit, partially converted to mechanical energy and then removed at lower temperatures for heating purposes (capacitor 68).
- Capacitor 68 Capacitor 68
- the exhaust gas flow can be expanded by means of a turbine 70 in the case of CO 2 separation devices 10 b or 10 c, in order to bring about the initial cooling in front of the swirl nozzle 17.
- the stream is further expanded, the CO 2 extracted, and the Stream with a downstream compressor 13 again compressed to atmospheric pressure.
- compressor 13 and turbine 70 are separated.
- the turbine 70 drives a generator 69.
- turbine 70 and compressor 13 are arranged on a common shaft.
- the exhaust gas stream can also be expanded directly into the swirl nozzle 17 and is then compressed back to atmospheric pressure by means of a compressor 13 which is arranged behind the swirl nozzle 17.
