Description

本発明は、例えば過給機を備えた内燃機関の排気ガスと燃料電池(例えば、固体酸化物燃料電池)とを組み合わせて使用し、内燃機関と燃料電池の双方から(例えば機械的出力及び/又は発電出力)を得る様に構成された装置と、その運転方法に関する。   The present invention uses, for example, a combination of an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine equipped with a supercharger and a fuel cell (for example, a solid oxide fuel cell), from both the internal combustion engine and the fuel cell (for example, mechanical output and / or Or an apparatus configured to obtain a power generation output) and an operation method thereof.

従来、動力源または発電装置として内燃機関(例えば、ガスエンジン)に過給機を取り付け、その排気タービンによって高温高圧の排気ガスが保有するエンタルピの一部を利用し、吸気の過給を行って出力の向上を図っている。
排気タービン通過後の排気ガスは、触媒などを用いて浄化後に、熱交換器などを用いて蒸気の発生、給湯、空調などに利用している。
Conventionally, a supercharger is attached to an internal combustion engine (for example, a gas engine) as a power source or a power generation device, and a portion of the enthalpy possessed by high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas is used by the exhaust turbine to supercharge intake air. The output is improved.
The exhaust gas after passing through the exhaust turbine is purified by using a catalyst or the like and then used for generating steam, hot water supply, air conditioning, or the like using a heat exchanger or the like.

図8にはその一例として希薄燃焼ガスガスエンジン1Aを示している。過給機2のコンプレッサ2cで加圧された吸気はアフタクーラ13で冷却され、燃料ガスが混合されてガスエンジン1Aに供給されており、その排気ガスは、過給機2の排気タービン2tに導入され、そのエンタルピの一部がコンプレッサ2cの駆動に利用されている。なお、符号2wはウエイストゲート弁で後記にて説明する。   FIG. 8 shows a lean combustion gas gas engine 1A as an example. The intake air pressurized by the compressor 2c of the supercharger 2 is cooled by the aftercooler 13, and the fuel gas is mixed and supplied to the gas engine 1A. The exhaust gas is introduced into the exhaust turbine 2t of the supercharger 2. A part of the enthalpy is used for driving the compressor 2c. Reference numeral 2w is a waste gate valve, which will be described later.

また、固体酸化物燃料電池(以下、SOFCと記す)を利用した動力源または発電装置では、炭化水素系燃料を水素リッチガスに改質して使用しており、500℃以上の高温で動作させて電極での内部改質が一般的であるが、電極材料の制約などがある場合には改質器を電池の外部に備え、燃料改質後にSOFCの燃料極にその改質ガスを供給している。
そして、電池の温度勾配を緩和するため、投入する空気や燃料ガスを排気ガスとの熱交換などで予熱し、供給することが多い。さらに電池からの高温排気ガスが持つエンタルピを有効に利用するため、電池の排気流路にマイクロガスタービンを接続し、排気ガスのエンタルピを回収して装置全体としての効率を向上させる方法が提案されている。
Moreover, in a power source or power generation device using a solid oxide fuel cell (hereinafter referred to as SOFC), a hydrocarbon-based fuel is reformed into a hydrogen-rich gas and used at a high temperature of 500 ° C. or higher. Internal reforming at the electrode is common, but when there are restrictions on electrode materials, a reformer is provided outside the battery, and the reformed gas is supplied to the SOFC fuel electrode after fuel reforming. Yes.
In order to alleviate the temperature gradient of the battery, the input air and fuel gas are often preheated and supplied by heat exchange with exhaust gas. Furthermore, in order to effectively use the enthalpy of the high-temperature exhaust gas from the battery, a method has been proposed in which a micro gas turbine is connected to the exhaust flow path of the battery and the enthalpy of the exhaust gas is recovered to improve the overall efficiency of the device. ing.

図9に、そのSOFC5の一例を示し、燃料は熱交換器6で排気ガスと熱交換を行って燃料改質器4に導入され、改質してSOFCの燃料極5mに投入されており、一方、空気はブロワ22で加圧され、熱交換器6で予熱されてSOFCの空気極5p側に供給されている。SOFC5の排気は、オフガス燃焼室7で燃料残部が燃焼され、前記熱交換器6を経て排出されている。   FIG. 9 shows an example of the SOFC 5. The fuel is heat exchanged with the exhaust gas in the heat exchanger 6 and introduced into the fuel reformer 4. The fuel is reformed and introduced into the fuel electrode 5 m of the SOFC. On the other hand, the air is pressurized by the blower 22, preheated by the heat exchanger 6, and supplied to the SOFC air electrode 5p side. The exhaust of the SOFC 5 is discharged through the heat exchanger 6 with the remaining fuel burned in the off-gas combustion chamber 7.

なお、過給エンジンでは、排気ガスの保有するエンタルピを利用し排気タービンを駆動して過給を行いエンジン出力の向上を図っているが、排気タービン通過後の排気ガスは依然として高温高圧でそのエンタルピを十分に利用してはいない。さらに熱交換によってエンタルピを回収する方法もあるが、発電装置として利用する場合には発電効率の向上にはつながらない。   In supercharged engines, the enthalpy of the exhaust gas is used to drive the exhaust turbine and boost the engine to improve engine output. However, the exhaust gas after passing through the exhaust turbine is still at high temperature and high pressure. Is not fully utilized. Furthermore, there is a method of recovering enthalpy by heat exchange, but when used as a power generation device, it does not lead to improvement of power generation efficiency.

また、エンジンの運転状況によっては過給機の圧縮仕事に対して排気ガスのエネルギに余剰が生じ、エンジンの要求以上の過給空気を作ってしまう。そのためにエンジンによっては、図8に示す例のように排気タービン2tにウエイストゲート弁2wを設けてその排気ガスをバイパスし、必要以上の過給を行わぬようにしている場合もあるが、高温の排気ガスのエネルギが無駄に流出してしまう。   Further, depending on the operating condition of the engine, there is a surplus in the energy of the exhaust gas with respect to the compression work of the supercharger, and supercharged air exceeding the demand of the engine is produced. Therefore, depending on the engine, as shown in the example shown in FIG. 8, a waste gate valve 2w is provided in the exhaust turbine 2t to bypass the exhaust gas so as not to perform supercharging more than necessary. Exhaust gas energy will flow unnecessarily.

SOFCは、約500゜C以上の高温で動作するため、固体酸化物が十分なイオン伝導度を有する温度域に達しないうちは満足に発電することはできない。そのため十分な出力が得られるまでSOFCを長時間昇温する必要があり、始動性を向上させるためにSOFC自体及び改質器の暖機用に燃焼器や電気ヒータなどの外部熱源を付加させなければならないことが多く、そのための燃料や電力が必要という問題もある。   Since the SOFC operates at a high temperature of about 500 ° C. or higher, it cannot generate power satisfactorily until the temperature reaches a temperature range where the solid oxide has sufficient ionic conductivity. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the temperature of the SOFC for a long time until sufficient output is obtained, and an external heat source such as a combustor or an electric heater must be added to warm up the SOFC itself and the reformer in order to improve startability. In many cases, there is a problem that fuel and electric power are necessary.

また、SOFCの燃料改質には水蒸気を供給する必要があり、SOFCの装置単独では水蒸気供給が非常に困難である。
さらに、SOFCの低出力運転では、電池の高温維持のために消費される燃料の割合が高くなり、効率や発電出力の低下の問題もある。
In addition, it is necessary to supply water vapor for SOFC fuel reforming, and it is very difficult to supply water vapor with an SOFC device alone.
Furthermore, in the low output operation of SOFC, the ratio of the fuel consumed for maintaining the high temperature of the battery becomes high, and there is a problem that efficiency and power generation output are reduced.

また、SOFCでは、投入燃料の約15%程度が反応せずに約600゜C以上の高温排気ガス中に含まれる形で排出されており、その未燃焼ガスは触媒燃焼などを経て供給空気や燃料の予熱に利用されることが多いが、しかし直接的には発電に貢献していない。   In SOFC, about 15% of the input fuel does not react and is discharged in the form of high-temperature exhaust gas of about 600 ° C or higher, and the unburned gas passes through catalytic combustion or the like to supply air or It is often used for fuel preheating, but it does not contribute directly to power generation.

さらに、SOFCの運転を停止する場合には、燃料極の酸化を防止するために酸素分圧の低いガスで燃料極をパージする必要がある。したがって、酸素分圧の低いガスを生成するために燃料を部分酸化させたガスを供給する手段や、窒素ガスを供給する手段を設けるなど省エネルギ性の乏しい手段が採用されている。
なお、供給する空気や燃料を加圧供給できれば、発電出力と効率を向上することができるが、このような昇圧手段はエネルギ消費やガスリークの問題があって一般化はしていない。
Furthermore, when stopping the operation of the SOFC, it is necessary to purge the fuel electrode with a gas having a low oxygen partial pressure in order to prevent oxidation of the fuel electrode. Accordingly, in order to generate a gas having a low oxygen partial pressure, means with poor energy savings such as means for supplying a gas obtained by partially oxidizing fuel and means for supplying nitrogen gas are employed.
If the supplied air and fuel can be supplied under pressure, the power generation output and efficiency can be improved. However, such boosting means have not been generalized due to problems of energy consumption and gas leakage.

その他の従来技術としては、炭化水素系燃料ガスを燃料ガスとして使用する固体酸化物形燃料電池システムが提供されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
しかし、係る固体酸化物形燃料電池システムは、上述した各種問題点を解決することを目的とするものではない。
