Abstract
Description
- The present invention is applied in the energy sector and in particular concerns a device for the production of electric energy and the corresponding method.
- Energy has been an indispensable source for the survival and development of mankind, in particular since the discovery and development of energy, and indeed the current level of civilization and life of mankind cannot disregard this versatile and transferable source of energy, which can be used everywhere.
- It is also obvious that there is a shortage of electricity and irregular supply thereof, in particular in industrially developed areas or developing areas.
- It is known that coal, oil, natural gas and other non-renewable sources can be used to generate electricity but, since they are not renewable, they are always rarer and more costly.
- Therefore, all over the world, there is a tendency to use waste material, even with a low energy power, to generate electricity.
- It is known, for example, that centralized air conditioning plants and plants to refine minerals, in order to work concrete or steel etc., have considerable emissions of substances at high temperature, such as (but not only) re-fluent gases, exhaust steams, waste water, either boiling or at a medium to low temperature, in any case above 60°C.
- Even the activities connected to the working of steel are sources of substances containing energy which are dispersed.
- For example, the cooling systems for rolled products, the exhaust gases in the production of steel in electric furnaces, the exhaust gases in furnaces for refining steel, the thermal energy of the preheating furnaces are all sources of energy which can be reused to produce electric energy; they are substances with a high energy content which at the moment are, for the most part, dispersed, and with them the energy contained therein is also dispersed; often further energy is expended in order to reduce the energy component which these resources contain, in order to disperse it into the environment.
- It must also be remembered that the temperature of the water of the geothermal sources is generally comprised between about 60 and 200°C.
- At the moment the rate of use of these substances containing energy which are discarded is very low.
- The purpose of the present invention is therefore to obtain a process and a device able to use these sources of energy, capturing the energy in order to transform it into electricity.
- It is also a purpose of the present invention to obtain a device suitable to exploit energy which would otherwise be discarded, even if produced by plants for conditioning, rolling, melting and refining steel, geothermal sources etc., therefore energy which is relatively modest but nevertheless of considerable quantities.
- The present invention is set forth and characterized in the independent claims, while the dependent claims describe other characteristics of the invention or variants to the main inventive idea.
- In accordance with the above purposes, the invention concerns a thermo-electric device which uses waste thermal energy having a medium-low temperature to generate electricity with a high energy conversion rate, a good applicability and stable production.
- According to the present invention the thermo-electric device comprises at least a heat exchanger, a turbine, an electric energy generator, a condenser and a recirculation pump, everything cooperating in a closed circuit while the exchanger and the condenser also have respective open circuits.
- According to a variant, upstream of the device and between it and the waste energy source, there is a cooling system of the energy substances to bring their temperature within the parameters provided for the device.
- According to said variant, the cooling system, for example cooling towers, also generates waste energy substances which can be used in the device or in another device.
- The open circuit of the heat exchanger is connected to the source of thermal energy, that is, to the cooling system of the energy substance.
- The energy substance enters the exchanger at a temperature comprised between 50°C and 70°C, advantageously around a temperature of 60°C.
- The heat exchanger also has a segment of closed circuit in which a liquid enters at a low temperature and steam exits containing thermal energy which drives the turbine, advantageously a two-stage turbine or more.
- In the closed circuit a fluid which transports energy circulates, able to vaporize at the rated temperatures of the exchanger and to become liquid in the condenser.
- The turbine drives the generator and the steam exiting from the turbine is mainly a low temperature steam which in the closed circuit goes to the condenser.
- A liquid exits from the condenser having a low temperature which in any case stays inside the closed circuit.
- The low-temperature liquid is fed to a recirculation pump which sends it to the heat exchanger, which transforms it again into low temperature steam and the cycle is repeated.
- Control means, for example to control the temperature and also, possibly, the flow rate and/or the pressure, that is, the control parameters of the fluids, are present in the system and supply the specific information to a management, processing, control and command system.
- A variant of the invention provides an auxiliary feeding pump.
- The turbine can drive both the electric energy generator and the recirculation pump, and if necessary, the auxiliary pump with any motion transmission system of a known type.
- The invention therefore provides a closed circuit which involves the exchanger, the turbine, the condenser and at least the recirculation pump.
- The heat exchanger also has an open circuit for the entrance of the thermal energy and the exit to discharge said energy, which has already given up most of its heat.
- The condenser also has an open circuit in which a cooling liquid, such as water or air, passes.
- As we said, the energy-carrying fluid which circulates in the closed circuit is a fluid which is able to vaporize at the temperature supplied by the thermal energy source in the exchanger.
- The whole is subject to a control, management and command system. Possible purification systems of the thermal energy entering can be provided.
- Two or more exchangers can also be provided which work in parallel or which are alternated for cleaning and/or maintenance.
- The same is true for the condenser.
- The attached
figure 1 gives a schematic example of the present invention and is given as a non-restrictive example. - With reference to the attached drawing,
number 10 indicates a device according to the present invention. - The
device 10 has a closedcircuit 26 which comprises aheat exchanger 11 with asteam outlet 20 which feeds aturbine 12 which can have one or more stages. - The
turbine 12 drives both theelectric energy generator 15 and therecirculation pump 14 and if necessary theauxiliary pump 17, for example by means of abelt 16. - The exhaust steam, which exits from the
turbine 12 through thepipe 22, enters into thecondenser 13 from where it exits, through thepipe 23, in the form of a liquid which is drawn by therecirculation pump 14 which sends it, through thepipe 21, into theexchanger 11. - In the case shown, an
auxiliary pump 17 is provided should there be problems with therecirculation pump 14, or as an integrative factor at particular moments, for example at pickup or at start-up. - The
exchanger 11 also has anopen circuit 29 which receives the thermal energy from thesource 27 through thepipe 18 and discharges it through theexit 19, after having transmitted a large part of it to the energy transporter fluid which circulates in the closedcircuit 26. - In the case shown, a
cooling tower 25, which receives the energy substance from thesource 27, feeds the energy substance to thepipe 18 at a desired temperature. - The
cooling tower 25 is fed with a cooling fluid (air, water or other) through thecircuit 32. - The cooling fluid exiting from the
circuit 32 is also a substance which can be used in thedevice 10. - The
condenser 13 also has an open circuit which, through thepipe 28, receives the cooling water or other cooling fluid, which it then discharges through the exit. - Detection and
control systems 30 are provided in the various pipes, which transmit the data to a central management, processing, control andcommand unit 31, which can even be disposed remote, that is, commandingseveral devices 10. - In order to maintain the desired conciseness, the example does not show the reintegration systems, the systems for choking and managing the flow rates, and more generally that which allows the practical and continuous use of the device, since this comes within the normal knowledge of an engineer.
- In the case shown, as a work hypothesis, it is possible to have the energy substance which supplies water at about 90°C, with a flow rate of 90 tons/hour, so that the
cooling tower 25 has to be used to cool said water to around 60°C. The system can function for example for about 8000 hours per annum. In thecondenser 13 the inlet temperature of the water is about 25°C and the outlet temperature is 30°C with a flow rate of 400 tons/hour. From this example, it can be inferred that the recyclable energy is equal to 42 kJ kg/°C x 20°C x 90000 kg/h = 2100 kW/h. Given a net yield of thedevice 10 equal to 10%, the electric power is therefore 210 kW/h which can be delivered continuously. Thecooling tower 25 also supplies the exhaust cooling fluid to thedevice 10 for generating electricity with a net yield per annum equal to 200 x 8000 = 160wkW/h. - The above description, given as an example, constitutes the method and device according to the invention, and the field of protection thereof is not limited to the one described: indeed, persons of skill shall be able to make modifications connected to the principle described, and these shall also be protected.
