在本发明的分布式换能方法和分布式换能***中,利用热泵在对第一流体制冷的同时对第二流体制热,经制冷的第一流体用于对气动机的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝及降低气动机的排气压力,同时经制热的第二流体用于对气动机的输入压力工质加热使其汽化以增加气动机的输入压力工质的压力,从而大幅提高了气动机的工质输入端与工质输出端之间的压力差,进而使气动机动力增强、发电增加。在这里,第一流体在一循环回路中循环,而第二流体在另一循环回路中循环,不会将能量排放到整体换能***的外部,从而避免了能量损失,提高了整体***的能效比。此外,第一流体在对气动机输出压力工质气体进行冷凝时,也是第一流体吸收输出压力工质气体中的热量进行储能的过程,所储存的热能能够用于供热泵的工质吸热,从而避免了系 统内的能量损失。
换而言之,在本发明的分布式换能方法及***中,不存在传统意义上的“废热”,因为这些“废热”在其它环节中都作为有用的能量进行了利用。例如就热泵的角度而言,热泵在对第二流体制热以便后续用于对气动机的输入压力工质进行加热而使其汽化的同时,会对第一流体进行制冷使其后续用于对气动机的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝,所以热泵既利用了第二流体的显热,又利用了第一流体的潜热。又例如,就气动机的角度而言,在气动机的压力工质做功后的乏汽中携带的余热也被经制冷的第一流体回收以便后续供热泵工质吸热,从而气动机的“废热”也得到了再利用。甚至热泵中的电动机以及由气动机驱动的发电机产生的废热,也可以通过来自第三流体储罐的第二流体对其进行水冷而回收到第四流体储罐中待后续加以利用。
本发明的分布式换能方法及***能够用于驱动外部设备,例如驱动发电机进行发电,从而实现分布式储能发电方法和***,其能够显著提高能效比,从而提高发电效率,而且通过多个流体储罐进行储能,能够实现储存电网中的夜间谷电,然后在白天用电需求大时利用夜间储存的能量发电输出,而且显著提高输出电量。

其中,热泵的工质用于在第一蒸发式冷凝器中从气动机的输出压力工质气体吸收热量而将所述气动机的输出压力工质气体冷凝得到压力工质液体,并且所述压力工质液体被输送作为所述气动机的输入压力工质;

在第二蒸发式冷凝器中对所述输入压力工质进行加热而降温后的所述热泵的工质被用于输送到第一蒸发式冷凝器中重新从气动机的输出压力工质气体吸收热量,从而使得所述热泵的工质循环进行所述吸热、升温和降温;

图1是根据本发明实施例的分布式换能***的示意图。如图1所示,根据本发明一实施例的分布式换能***包括:热泵I、气动机J、用于供盐水在其中循环流动的循环回路、及用于供水在其中循环流动的循环回路,其中,
热泵I用于利用其工质从循环回路中的盐水中吸收热量而对盐水制冷,并且用于对吸收热量后的工质进行压缩以进一步提高工质的温度,用于利用其工质对另一循环回路中的水进行加热;在图1中,热泵I例如包括电动机8以及与电动机8传动连接的压缩机,且包括与压缩机连接的工质管路以及管路中的工质。
经加热的水用于对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热使其汽化成压力工质气体用于致动所述气动机J,并且对输入压力工质进行加热而降温后的水 被热泵I的工质重新加热以用于重新对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热,从而使水在所述另一循环回路中被循环加热和降温;
经制冷的盐水用于对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝,并且对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝而升温后的盐水被热泵I的工质重新吸收热量而制冷以用于重新对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝,从而使得盐水在循环回路中被循环制冷和升温。
在本发明中,所述循环回路分别用于使盐水和水在其中单向循环,使得盐水在循环回路中循环时被循环制冷和升温,并且使得水在循环回路中循环时被循环加热和降温。这些循环回路中可以根据需要来设计,采用各种管路、阀门、泵送装置、蒸发器、冷凝器、蒸汽发生器等实现,根据需要,循环回路中也可以包括分别暂时储存盐水和水的流体储罐。因此,本发明中对循环回路的具体实现没有特别限制,只要其能够使其中的盐水和水循环流动以便被循环制冷和加热即可。
所述分布式换能***中的冷凝器C用于:使来自流体储罐E的经制冷的盐水在流经冷凝器C的管程时对流入冷凝器C的壳程中的、气动机J的输出压力工质气体(例如氨气)进行冷凝得到压力工质液体(即液氨),该压力工质液体返回蒸汽发生器D作为气动机J的输入压力工质(即液氨);蒸汽发生器D用于:使来自流体储罐F的经加热的水在流经蒸汽发生器D的管程时对蒸汽发生器D的壳程内的、气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热使其汽化成压力工质气体从而致动气动机J。
所述分布式换能***还可以包括蒸发器A和冷凝器B,蒸发器A用于:使热泵I的工质在流经蒸发器A的壳程时从流入蒸发器A的管程中的、来自流体储罐G的盐水中吸收热量而蒸发,从而对盐水制冷;冷凝器B用于:使热泵I的压缩后的工质在流经冷凝器B的壳程时对流入冷凝器B的管程中的、来自流体储罐H的水进行放热而冷凝,并在放热后输送并返回蒸发器A。
在本发明的分布式换能***中,利用热泵I在对盐水制冷的同时对水制热,经制冷的盐水用于对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝以降低气动机J的排气压力,同时经制热的水用于对气动机J的输入压力工质加热使其汽化以增加气动机J的输入压力工质的压力,从而大幅提高了气动机J的工质输入端与工质输出端之间(即气动机J的输入压力工质气体与输出压力工质气体即输出乏汽之间)的压力差,进而使气动机J的输出动力增强、发电增加。在这里,盐水在一循环回路中循环,而水在另一循环回路中循环,不 会将能量排放到整体换能***的外部,从而避免了能量损失,提高了整体***的能效比。此外,盐水在对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝时,也是盐水吸收输出压力工质气体中的热量进行储能的过程,所储存的热能能够用于供热泵的工质吸热,从而避免了***内的能量损失。而且,热泵I在对盐水进行制冷时产生的“废热”被热泵I用于对水进行加热而得以利用,整个***内不存在废热。
在以上实施例中,用于盐水的循环回路可以由蒸发器A、流体储罐E、冷凝器C和流体储罐G通过管路依次连接构成,而且流体储罐G与蒸发器A也通过管路连接,从而形成封闭的循环回路,在管路中需要位置设置泵送装置(例如水泵4)来驱动盐水在循环回路中循环流动,例如可以在蒸发器A与流体储罐E之间的管路上设置水泵4,用于将蒸发器A中被冷却后的盐水输送到流体储罐E中储存;例如可以在流体储罐E与冷凝器C之间的管路上设置水泵4,用于将来自流体储罐E的盐水输送到冷凝器C中;还例如,也可以在流体储罐G与蒸发器A之间的管路上设置水泵,用于将盐水从流体储罐G输送到蒸发器A中。本发明对此没有限制,可以根据实际需要在指定管路中设置水泵。
类似的,用于水的循环回路可以由冷凝器B、流体储罐F、蒸汽发生器D和流体储罐H通过管路依次连接构成,且流体储罐H与冷凝器B也通过管路连接,从而形成封闭的循环回路,在管路中需要位置设置泵送装置(例如水泵4)来驱动水在循环回路中循环流动。例如可以在冷凝器B与流体储罐F之间的管路上设置水泵4,用于将冷凝器B中被加热后的水输送到流体储罐F中储存;例如可以在流体储罐F与蒸汽发生器D之间的管路上设置水泵4,用于将来自流体储罐F的水输送到蒸汽发生器D中;还例如,也可以在流体储罐H与冷凝器B之间的管路上设置水泵,用于将水从流体储罐H输送到冷凝器B中。本发明对此没有限制,可以根据实际需要在指定管路中设置水泵。
在本发明中,在其中一个循环回路中采用盐水作为循环流体,在另一个循环回路中采用水(即普通淡水)作为循环流体,但是本发明不限于采用盐水和水作为循环流体,在不冲突的情况下,也可以采用别的流体,例如别的类型的液体甚至气体,只要其能够在所需工作温度下保持为流体状态以便于循环流动,以便能够与热泵的工质和气动机的压力工质配合在指定温度下进行热交换即可。本领域技术人员完全可以根据***中采用的热泵工质的类型、压力、工作温度等以及气动机采用的压力工质的类型、压力、工作温度等, 确定适合于在上述循环回路中循环的流体。本发明各实施例中仅以采用盐水和水作为循环流体为例进行说明。之所以采用盐水作为第一流体,是因为需要其在零度以下也能保持流动性,而且来源广泛,成本低廉;另外,当提及“水”时,是指具有0℃冰点的普通淡水。
如图1所示,流体储罐G和流体储罐E在用于盐水的循环回路中分别用于储存不同温度的盐水,流体储罐H和流体储罐F在用于水的另一循环回路中分别用于储存不同温度的水。
流体储罐G用于储存对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝而升温后的盐水,此时盐水的温度一般升温到零度以上,例如可以是0℃至20℃,或者为0℃至12℃,优选为12℃,当然也可以根据需要设为其它温度。热泵I用于利用其工质从来自流体储罐G的盐水中吸收热量而对盐水制冷,且流体储罐E用于储存经制冷的盐水,此时盐水的温度一般制冷到零度以下,例如可以是-20℃至0℃,或者为-12℃至0℃,优选为-12℃,当然也可以根据需要设为其它温度。
流体储罐H用于储存对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热而降温后的水,此时水的温度一般为20℃至60℃,例如30℃至50℃,例如35℃至45℃,优选为40℃,当然也可以根据需要设为其它温度。热泵I用于利用其工质对来自流体储罐H的水进行加热,且流体储罐F用于储存经加热的水,此时水的温度一般为90℃至60℃,例如80℃至65℃,优选为75℃,当然也可以根据需要设为其它温度。
这里,热泵I的工质例如采用CO
2,而气动机J的压力工质例如采用氨。当然这仅为举例说明,热泵I的工质和气动机J的压力工质也可以采用其它类型媒介,只要能够在设定温度下实现蒸发和冷凝从而与外部的流体(例如盐水或水)进行热交换即可。例如,气动机J的压力工质也可以采用氟利昂。
在热泵I采用CO
2作为工质(冷媒)跨临界运行的情况下,为了使蒸发器A得到较高的制冷能效比,使蒸发器A将盐水制冷到约-12℃是较佳的,此时制冷能效比为2左右。热泵I也可以采用其它类型的工质,只要允许热泵I能够从蒸发器A中的盐水中吸收热量并且对冷凝器B中的水释放热量。
为了保证热泵在冷凝器B中对水进行制热时的高能效比,流体储罐H中水的温度优选为40℃;流体储罐F中水的温度优选为75℃,在这些温度条件下,热泵I对水制热的能效比大约为3。
在气动机J的压力工质采用液氨时,例如采用环保型制冷剂液氨时,当 蒸汽发生器D管程入口的水的温度为75℃且管程出口的水的温度为40℃时,液氨在蒸汽发生器D壳程中汽化产生的蒸汽压为16.7KG。此时,如果冷凝器C管程入口的盐水温度为-12℃而管程出口的盐水温度为12℃,所产生的气动机J的背压为大约6.7KG,因此本***中在气动机J上可获得约10KG的净压差,其相比现有技术得到显著提高,从而提高了气动机J的输出动力,在气动机J用于驱动发电机进行发电的情况显著提高了发电量,当然,根据实际实现时流入蒸汽发生器D中的水的温度、流入冷凝器C中的盐水的温度等,本领域技术人员能够选择适当的其它工质作为气动机J的压力工质,本发明对此不作限制。
本发明实施例中的***中的各流体储罐、蒸发器、冷凝器、蒸汽发生器、管路、阀门等优选都是绝热的,以避免与外界发生不期望的热交换。
下面具体描述气动机J的输出压力工质气体在冷凝器C中冷凝后返回蒸汽发生器D作为气动机J的输入压力工质的示例性过程。
如图1和图2所示,本实施例的换能***还可以包括工质储液罐14,其与第一冷凝器C相比位于更低位置且通过阀门13与第一冷凝器C流体连通,并且通过阀门18与所述蒸汽发生器D流体连通。其中,当阀门13处于打开状态时,阀门18处于关闭状态,使得冷凝器C与工质储液罐14连通,同时保持工质储液罐14与蒸汽发生器D断开连通,从而使在冷凝器C中冷凝所得压力工质液体可以利用重力(也可利用泵送装置)流入工质储液罐14中;并且,当工质储液罐14中的液位高于预定高液位阈值19时,使阀门13变为关闭状态且使阀门18变为打开状态,使得工质储液罐14与冷凝器C断开连通而与蒸汽发生器D连通,从而能使工质储液罐14中收集的压力工质液体返回蒸汽发生器D中以便后续被蒸发作为气动机J的输入压力工质气体。
此外,当工质储液罐14中的液位低于预定低液位阈值20时,阀门13变为打开状态且阀门18变为关闭状态,使工质储液罐14与蒸汽发生器D断开连通而与冷凝器C重新连通,使得冷凝器C中冷凝所得压力工质液体能够流入工质储液罐14中,其中预定低液位阈值20低于预定高液位阈值19。在这里,阀门13和阀门18可以为电动阀,由感测工质储液罐14中液位的传感器15在感测到该液位高于预定高液位阈值19或低于预定低液位阈值20时如上所述驱动而打开和关闭。
在本实施例的另一实现方式中,阀门13和阀门18可以为单向止回阀,阀门13打开时,允许压力工质液体沿着从冷凝器C到工质储液罐14的方向 流动;当阀门18打开时,允许压力工质液体沿着从工质储液罐14到蒸汽发生器D的方向流动。此时,工质储液罐14还可以通过与阀门13所处管路不同的管路与冷凝器C流体连通,该不同管路中包含串接的阀门12和气动发电机11,能够控制工质储液罐14中的压力工质液体上方的压力工质气体流动到冷凝器C中;另外,工质储液罐14还通过与阀门18所处管路不同的管路与蒸汽发生器D流体连通,该不同管路中包含串接的阀门16和储气罐17,该储气罐17连接于蒸汽发生器D与阀门16之间且用于将来自蒸汽发生器D的汽化的气动机压力工质气体与其携带的气动机压力工质液体彼此分离以及必要时暂时储存汽化的气动机压力工质气体,阀门16能够控制蒸汽发生器D中产生的压力工质气体流动到工质储液罐14中。在这里,阀门12和阀门16为电动阀,受液位传感器15的感测信号的控制;储气罐17也可以使用其它具有液气分离作用的装置来替代。
下面结合图2所示分布式换能***的局部放大示意图,描述该实施例的以上另一实现方式中工质储液罐14及相关阀门的工作过程。当工质储液罐14中的液位高于预定高液位阈值19时,液位传感器15感测到液位高于预定高液位阈值19,将产生电信号用于驱动电动阀门12由打开状态变为关闭状态而驱动电动阀门16由关闭状态变为打开状态,此时,储气罐17中的高压气体(即蒸汽发生器D中汽化产生的压力工质气体)经过阀门16进入工质储液罐14中使得工质储液罐14中的压力增大,从而引起单向阀门13关闭,并且使得单向阀门18由于工质储液罐14中的压力工质重力作用而打开,从而使得工质储液罐14与蒸汽发生器D连通,压力工质液体能够回流到蒸汽发生器D中。当工质储液罐14中的液位低于预定低液位阈值20时,液位传感器15液位低于预定低液位阈值20,将产生电信号用于驱动电动阀门12由关闭状态变为打开状态而驱动电动阀门16由打开状态变为关闭状态,此刻,工质储液罐14内部的压力大于冷凝器C壳程内部(其供气动机J的压力工质气体和液体从中流过)的压力,从而可以利用该压力差驱动气动发电机11发电,所产生的电优选用于通过导线23使加热管22升温,从而对流体储罐F中的水进行辅助加热,将热量储存于流体储罐F中。而且,随着工质储液罐14内部的压力降低,单向阀门13由于冷凝器C中压力工质液体的重力作用而由关闭状态变为打开状态;此时,由于蒸汽发生器D壳程内部(其供气动机J的压力工质液体和气体从中流过)的压力大于工质储液罐14内部的压力,使得单向阀门18由打开状态变为关闭状态,从而工质储液罐14与蒸汽发生器 D断开连通。此方式比传统上利用电泵来回流工质的方式节省大量电力,而且耐高压、***漏、效率更高。
在本发明实施例的分布式换能***中,所述热泵I包括电动机8以及由该电动机驱动的压缩机,来自流体储罐H的至少一部分水用于对该电动机8进行水冷,且在水冷后返回流体储罐F中;和/或,气动机J与发电机连接以驱动发电机,来自流体储罐H的至少一部分水用于对发电机进行水冷,并且在水冷后返回流体储罐F中。通过这种方式,使得***内设备(包括电动机和发电机等)的机械运动产生的热量也能得以储存和利用,避免废热产生。
下面结合图1至3描述根据本发明实施例的分布式换能方法。图3示出了根据本发明实施例的分布式储能换能方法的示意图。如图3所示,本发明实施例的分布式换能方法可以包括:
利用热泵I的工质从循环回路中的盐水中吸收热量而对盐水制冷,并且利用热泵I对吸收热量后的工质进行压缩以进一步提高工质的温度,用于利用其工质对另一循环回路中的水进行加热;
输送经加热的水用于对气动机J的输入压力工质液体进行加热使其汽化成压力工质气体用于致动所述气动机J,并且对输入压力工质进行加热而降温后的水被热泵I的工质重新加热以用于重新对气动机J的输入压力工质液体进行加热,从而使得水在所述另一循环回路中被循环加热和降温;
输送经制冷的盐水用于对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝,并且对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝而升温后的盐水被热泵I的工质重新吸收热量而制冷以用于重新对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝,从而使得盐水在循环回路中被循环制冷和升温。
在本发明实施例中,所述循环回路分别用于使盐水和水在其中单向循环,与以上实施例中的循环回路具有相同的含义。
热泵I的工质可以从来自流体储罐G的盐水中吸收热量而对盐水制冷,且经制冷的盐水被输送到流体储罐E中。热泵I还可以对其吸收热量后的工质进行压缩以进一步提高工质的温度用于对来自流体储罐H的水进行加热,经加热的水被输送到流体储罐F中。来自流体储罐F的经加热的水可以被输送用于对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热使其汽化成压力工质气体用于致动该气动机J,并且对输入压力工质加热后的水被输送回流体储罐H。来自流体储罐E的经制冷的盐水被输送用于对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝,然后返回到流体储罐G中。
本发明实施例中的换能方法中的制冷和加热可以通过冷凝器和蒸发器实现。如图1所示,可以使来自流体储罐E的经制冷的第一流体流经冷凝器C的管程,从而对流入冷凝器C的壳程中的、气动机J的输出压力工质气体(例如氨气)进行冷凝得到压力工质液体(即液氨),该压力工质液体返回蒸汽发生器D作为气动机J的输入压力工质(即液氨)。来自流体储罐F的经加热的水可以用于在流经蒸汽发生器D的管程时对蒸汽发生器D的壳程内的、气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热使其汽化成压力工质气体从而致动该气动机J。
在根据本发明实施例的换能方法中,可以使热泵I的工质流经蒸发器A的壳程,从流入蒸发器A的管程中的、来自流体储罐G的盐水中吸收热量而蒸发,从而对盐水制冷。热泵I的压缩后的工质可以流入冷凝器B的壳程中对流入冷凝器B的管程中的、来自流体储罐H的水进行加热而冷凝,然后被输送并返回蒸发器A。在不冲突的情况下,本发明中的“壳程”和“管程”也可以根据实际应用而互换。
在本实施例中,用于盐水的循环回路和用于水的循环回路的构造可以具有与以上实施例中所述相同的含义。在本发明中,在其中一个循环回路中采用盐水作为循环流体,在另一个循环回路中采用水(即普通淡水)作为循环流体,但是本发明不限于采用盐水和水作为循环流体,在不冲突的情况下,也可以采用别的流体,例如别的类型的液体甚至气体,只要其能够在所需工作温度下保持为流体状态以便于循环流动,以便能够与热泵的工质和气动机的压力工质配合在指定温度下进行热交换即可。本领域技术人员完全可以根据***中采用的热泵工质的类型、压力、工作温度等以及气动机采用的压力工质的类型、压力、工作温度等,确定适合于在上述循环回路中循环的流体。本发明各实施例中仅以采用盐水和水作为循环流体为例进行说明。之所以采用盐水作为第一流体,是因为需要其在零度以下也能保持流动性,而且来源广泛,成本低廉;另外,当提及“水”时,是指具有0℃冰点的普通淡水。
流体储罐G用于储存对气动机J的输出压力工质气体进行冷凝而升温后的盐水,此时盐水的温度一般升温到零度以上,例如可以是0℃至20℃,或者为0℃至12℃,优选为12℃,当然也可以根据需要设为其它温度。热泵I用于利用其工质从来自流体储罐G的盐水中吸收热量而对盐水制冷,且流体储罐E用于储存经制冷的盐水,此时盐水的温度一般制冷到零度以下,例如可以是-20℃至0℃,或者为-12℃至0℃,优选为-12℃,当然也可以根据需 要设为其它温度。
流体储罐H用于储存对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热而降温后的水,此时水的温度一般为20℃至60℃,例如30℃至50℃,例如35℃至45℃,优选为40℃,当然也可以根据需要设为其它温度。热泵I用于利用其工质对来自流体储罐H的水进行加热,且流体储罐F用于储存经加热的水,此时水的温度一般为90℃至60℃,例如80℃至65℃,优选为75℃,当然也可以根据需要设为其它温度。
在这里,热泵I的工质例如采用CO
2,而气动机J的压力工质例如采用氨。当然这仅为举例说明,热泵I的工质和气动机J的压力工质也可以采用其它类型媒介,只要能够在设定温度下实现蒸发和冷凝从而与外部的流体(例如盐水或水)进行热交换即可。例如,气动机J的压力工质也可以采用氟利昂。
在热泵I采用CO
2作为工质(冷媒)跨临界运行的情况下,为了使蒸发器A得到较高的制冷能效比,使蒸发器A将盐水制冷到约-12℃是较佳的,此时制冷能效比为2左右。热泵I也可以采用其它类型的工质,只要允许热泵I能够从蒸发器A中的盐水中吸收热量并且对冷凝器B中的水释放热量。
为了保证热泵在冷凝器B中对水进行制热时的高能效比,流体储罐H中水的温度优选为40℃;流体储罐F中水的温度优选为75℃,在这些温度条件下,热泵I对水制热的能效比大约为3。
在气动机J的压力工质采用液氨时,例如采用环保型制冷剂液氨时,当蒸汽发生器D管程入口的水的温度为75℃且管程出口的水的温度为40℃时,液氨在蒸汽发生器D壳程中汽化产生的蒸汽压为16.7KG。此时,如果冷凝器C管程入口的盐水温度为-12℃而管程出口的盐水温度为12℃,所产生的气动机J的背压为大约6.7KG,因此本***中在气动机J上可获得约10KG的净压差,其相比现有技术得到显著提高,从而提高了气动机J的输出动力,在气动机J用于驱动发电机进行发电的情况显著提高了发电量,使得发电机的能效比能够达到5左右。当然,根据实际实现时流入蒸汽发生器D中的水的温度、流入冷凝器C中的盐水的温度等,本领域技术人员能够选择适当的其它工质作为气动机J的压力工质,本发明对此不作限制。
下面描述根据本发明实施例的换能方法中将气动机J的输出压力工质气体冷凝所得压力工质液体返回蒸汽发生器D作为气动机J的输入压力工质的过程。
具体而言,在冷凝所得压力工质液体返回蒸汽发生器D作为气动机J的 输入压力工质之前,所述方法还可以包括:
使冷凝器C与工质储液罐14连通,同时保持工质储液罐14与蒸汽发生器D断开连通,从而使冷凝所得压力工质液体流入工质储液罐14中,并且,当工质储液罐14中的液位高于预定高液位阈值19时,使工质储液罐14与冷凝器C断开连通,并且与蒸汽发生器D连通,从而能够使工质储液罐14中冷凝所得压力工质液体返回蒸汽发生器D中。
此外,当工质储液罐14中的液位低于预定低液位阈值20时,使工质储液罐14与蒸汽发生器D断开连通而与冷凝器C重新连通,使得冷凝所得压力工质液体能够流入工质储液罐14中,其中预定低液位阈值20低于预定低液位阈值。
在工质储液罐14与冷凝器C重新连通时,还可以利用工质储液罐14内部与冷凝器C壳程内部之间的压力差驱动气动发电机11发电,所产生的电优选用于对流体储罐F中的水进行辅助加热。
如果热泵I包括电动机8以及由该电动机8驱动的压缩机,气动机J与发电机连接以驱动发电机,则为了将***中的机械运动产生的热量加以再利用,根据本发明实施例的换能方法还可以包括:将来自流体储罐H的至少一部分水用于对电动机8进行水冷,并且在水冷后被输送回流体储罐F中;并且,将来自流体储罐H的至少一部分水用于对发电机进行水冷,并且在水冷后被输送回流体储罐F中。
与上述换能***中类似,流体储罐G、流体储罐E、流体储罐H、流体储罐F、工质储液罐14、蒸发器A、蒸汽发生器D、冷凝器C和/或冷凝器B可以是绝热的。
在根据本发明实施例的以上换能方法中,对循环回路、盐水和水等流体、热泵的工质、气动机的压力工质的描述与以上所述换能***中所述一致,在此不再赘述。
下面结合根据本发明实施例的换能***和方法在发电领域中的具体应用,进一步说明本发明。
该具体应用的整体思路是:在夜间,借助热泵,利用夜间谷电以冰水及热水为载体,将热量(包括显热和潜热)储存于流体储罐E、F中,直至谷电时间结束,此为夜间储能模式。在白天采用发电模式,即,将储存于流体储罐E、F中的冷热综合利用进行发电。夜间储能模式和白天发电模式交替循环进行。
1、夜间储能模式具体说明
在人们的惯常思维中,产生废热是非常普遍的情况,很多时候并不会对废热加以利用。例如以空调制冷为例,夏天室内需要制冷,但空调室外机大量散热,此热量被视为废热,是人们所抛弃的。然而,在本发明中没有真正的“废热”,而是通过热泵,以水为载体,将“废热”蓄热于大型流体储罐F中,供白天加热蒸汽发生器D中的压力工质(例如液氨或氟利昂)产生高压蒸汽,驱动气动机,实现变废为宝。此时,制热能效比(COP)为3。
从另一角度来说,以空调制热为例,冬天室内则需制热,空调室外机有大量冷量产生,同样是人们所抛弃的。然而,在本发明中没有真正的“废冷”,而是通过热泵,以盐水为载体,将“废冷”蓄冷于大型流体储罐E中,供白天用于冷凝气动机C的乏汽,此时蓄冷COP为2。
也就是说,人们通常不是单纯用热就是单纯用冷,并没有将冷热同时利用,而冷热都是能量。本发明的特点在于二者同时协同使用,能效比很高。
2、白天发电模式说明
传统火力发电时,高温高压蒸汽膨胀做功后的乏汽需冷凝成液体,此时巨大的冷凝热被排掉,此热量等同于同质量水的汽化热(潜热),而发电***对这一部分的热量无法利用,所以导致整个发电***效率大幅下降,超临界发电机组效率也不超过45%。而本发明中,气动机的高压工质气体(例如氨气或氟利昂气体)在气动机中膨胀做功后,乏汽排入冷凝器C中,所不同的是产生的大量冷凝热被来自流体储罐E的冰水所吸收而储存,并不丢失,以备夜间在蒸发器A中被吸收加以利用。所以本发明保存并利用了气动机工质的冷凝热。同时利用来自流体储罐E的冰水大幅度降低气动机排气压力,增加气动机输入端与输出端之间的压力差,使气动机动力增强且发电增加。
在具体的示例性实现中,当热泵I夜间利用谷电工作时,管壳式蒸发器A壳程中的工质(即,制冷剂)沸腾蒸发,温度下降,产生的冷量传递给管程中的温水1,同时吸收其热量,将温水1制成﹣12℃冰水储存于流体储罐E中,蒸发器A中的制冷剂蒸汽经热泵I的压缩机排入冷凝器B中冷凝成液体制冷剂,同时放出热量然后经管道2返回蒸发器A中,完成一个制冷循环。冷凝器B在冷凝时发出的热量传递给冷凝器B管程中的低温水3,使其温度升高至75℃,并储存于流体储罐F中备用,从而完成夜间储能模式。
早晨8点以后,水泵4开始工作,流体储罐F中的高温水进入蒸汽发生器D中,对其壳程中的液氨加热升压产生高压氨蒸汽经管道5进入气动机J 中膨胀做功,带动发电机发电。
气动机J中产生的乏汽经管道6进入冷凝器G中冷凝放热,同时加热从流体储罐E中过来的﹣12℃的低温盐水,盐水被温升至0-12℃,储存于流体储罐G中,以备夜间使用,同时降低气动机J的排气压力,增加气动机的工质输入端与工质输出端之间的压差,增加发电量。此时冷凝器C中的液氨被输送回蒸汽发生器D中,完成一个工作循环,实现白天发电模式。
本发明的分布式换能***可用于风光蓄能、谷电储能、火力发电等领域,本发明对此不作限制。
在上述结合图1、2、3所述的换能方法和***中,为了进一步优化其性能,例如补偿该换能方法和***中由于任何可能的原因(例如热量耗散、机械磨损等)引起的能量损耗,还提出了上述换能方法和***的变型。下面结合图1a和图3a描述上述换能方法和***的该变型,该变型与上述换能方法和***的区别在于:利用外部热源对流体储罐G中的盐水进行加热,和/或利用外部热源对流体储罐F中的水进行加热。
如图1a所示,由于流体储罐G中的盐水的温度较低,因此对流体储罐G中的盐水进行加热的外部热源可选范围很广,可以是带有余热的工业排气,或者是温度高于流体储罐G中的盐水温度的环境空气。当采用环境空气来加热流体储罐G中的盐水的情况下,可以在***中增加喷淋塔P,在需要时(例如在流体储罐G中的盐水的温度低于预设温度时),可以将流体储罐G中的盐水从喷淋塔P的上部入口泵入喷淋塔P中,与从喷淋塔下部入口引入的空气在喷淋塔内腔中接触,空气流在引风机作用下自下向上与下落的水流逆向换热,将空气中的热量传递给喷淋的盐水,从而使盐水升温,然后回流至流体储罐G中储存,从而使流体储罐G中的盐水整体温度适当上升。
另外,如图1a所示,可替选地,也可以利用工业余热对流体储罐F中的水进行加热,加热的具体形式不限。引进到流体储罐F中的这部分热量进入蒸汽发生器D中以使起动机J的液体工质变为高压蒸汽,推动气动机做工后所排乏汽中的热量也可补充流体储罐G中的热量,从而维持整体换热***的能量守恒。
通过上述两种方式,提高了换热***中的热量储备,维持***的能量守恒,增加起动机J的发电量和发电效率,使***的电能转化率可达到150%左右。
上述实施例的分布式换能方法和***中,热泵的工质与气动机的工质是间接进行换热,即,借助于第一循环回路及其介质以及第二循环回路及其介质进行换热。但是,发明人还发现,在有些应用场景中可能不需要储能环节, 所以在以上结合图1至图3描述的分布式储能方法和分布式储能***中,能够将其中的储能环节去除,即将分布式换能方法和分布式换能***中的第一循环回路和/或第二循环回路去掉,从而改为热泵的工质与气动机的工质直接进行热交换,则得到另外的换能方法和换能***,其能够实现输入能量的即时放大输出。下面结合附图4和图5进行具体描述,其中与图1和图2中相同的标号表示与图1和图2中相同功能的部件,下面不对其进行详细描述。
如图4所示,示出了根据本发明一变型实施例的换能***的示意图,该换能***可以包括热泵I、气动机J、蒸发式冷凝器K和蒸发式冷凝器L,其中热泵I分别通过管路与蒸发式冷凝器K以及蒸发式冷凝器L流体连通并且蒸发式冷凝器K与蒸发式冷凝器L通过管路30流体连通,使得热泵I的工质能够经由蒸发式冷凝器K、管路30以及蒸发式冷凝器L循环流动;并且,气动机J分别通过管路与蒸发式冷凝器K以及蒸发式冷凝器L流体连通并且蒸发式冷凝器K与蒸发式冷凝器L还通过管路40流体连通,使得气动机J的压力工质能够经由蒸发式冷凝器K、管路40以及蒸发式冷凝器L循环流动。
热泵I的工质用于在蒸发式冷凝器K中从气动机J的输出压力工质气体吸收热量而将气动机J的输出压力工质气体冷凝得到压力工质液体,并且该压力工质液体被输送作为气动机J的输入压力工质。
热泵I用于对吸收热量后的工质进行压缩以使其升温从而用于在蒸发式冷凝器L中对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热使其汽化成压力工质气体,该压力工质气体用于致动气动机J然后由气动机J输出成为气动机J的输出压力工质气体。
在蒸发式冷凝器L中对气动机J的输入压力工质加热而降温后的热泵I的工质被用于输送到蒸发式冷凝器K中重新从气动机J的输出压力工质气体吸收热量,从而使得热泵I的工质循环进行上述吸热、升温和降温的过程。
作为示例,热泵I的工质可以从蒸发式冷凝器K的管程中流过而从蒸发式冷凝器K的壳程中流过的气动机J的压力工质中吸热而气化,同时从蒸发式冷凝器K的壳程流过的气动机J的输出压力工质气体因放热而冷凝。
例如,热泵I的经压缩的工质在从蒸发式冷凝器L的管程中流过时放热冷凝,而气动机J的输入压力工质用于在蒸发式冷凝器L的壳程中吸热气化。
上述变型实施例中的换能***还可以包括工质储液罐14,工质储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器K相比位于更低位置且通过阀门13与蒸发式冷凝器K流体连通,并且通过阀门18与蒸发式冷凝器L流体连通。
工质储液罐14及相关阀门的工作方式与上述实施例中相同。例如,在***工作时,当阀门13处于打开状态时,阀门18处于关闭状态,使蒸发式冷 凝器K与工质储液罐14连通,同时保持工质储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器L断开连通,从而使蒸发式冷凝器K中冷凝所得压力工质液体流入工质储液罐14中,从而工质储液罐14中的压力工质液体液位越来越高。而当工质储液罐14中的压力工质液体液位高于预定第一阈值时,阀门13变为关闭状态且阀门18变为打开状态,使工质储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器K断开连通,并且与蒸发式冷凝器L连通,从而能够使工质储液罐14中冷凝所得压力工质液体返回蒸发式冷凝器L中。
相反,当工质储液罐14中的液位低于预定第二阈值时,阀门13变为打开状态且阀门18变为关闭状态,使工质储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器L断开连通而与蒸发式冷凝器K重新连通,使得蒸发式冷凝器K中冷凝所得压力工质液体能够流入工质储液罐14中。在这里,预定第二阈值低于预定第一阈值。
为了进一步回收***中的能量,工质储液罐14还可以通过与阀门13所处管路不同的管路与蒸发式冷凝器K流体连通,该不同的管路中包含串接的阀门12和辅助气动机11’;另外,工质储液罐14还通过与阀门18所处管路不同的管路与蒸发式冷凝器L流体连通,该不同的管路中包含串接的阀门16和储气罐17,该储气罐17连接于蒸发式冷凝器L与阀门16之间且用于将来自蒸发式冷凝器L的、气动机J的汽化的气动机压力工质气体与其携带的气动机压力工质液体彼此分离以及必要时暂时储存汽化的气动机压力工质气体。储气罐17也可以使用其它具有液气分离作用的装置来替代。本领域技术人员也可以理解,在管道5中也会根据需要设置必要的液气分离装置以使得来自蒸发式冷凝器L的气化的气动机压力工质气体会先与来自蒸发式冷凝器L的气动机压力工质液体分离然后被送往气动机J。可以理解,也可以从储气罐17引出管路以连接气动机J的压力工质入口,而不采用管路5,从而无需另外设置液气分离装置而共用储气罐17进行液气分离。
在***运行时,当工质储液罐14中的液位高于预定第一阈值时,阀门12由打开状态变为关闭状态而阀门16由关闭状态变为打开状态;当工质储液罐14中的液位低于预定第二阈值时,阀门12由关闭状态变为打开状态而阀门16由打开状态变为关闭状态,从而利用工质储液罐14内部与蒸发式冷凝器K内部之间的压力差驱动辅助气动机11’,且在工质储液罐14内部与蒸发式冷凝器K内部之间压力平衡后,阀门13由关闭状态变为打开状态。
在上述变型例中,阀门13和阀门18为单向阀,阀门12和阀门16为电动阀。
如图6所示,在上述变型例中,所述***还可以包括:辅助热泵26,其 由辅助气动机11’驱动,使得热泵26从蒸发式冷凝器K抽取热泵I的至少一部分工质并将其压缩以提高所述至少一部分工质的温度,然后将提高温度后的所述至少一部分工质与被热泵I压缩而升温后的工质汇合流入蒸发式冷凝器L中。利用辅助气动机11’来驱动该辅助热泵26,能够充分利用辅助气动机11’输出的能量,并且该辅助热泵26通过从蒸发式冷凝器K中抽取热泵I的工质而进一步降低了蒸发式冷凝器K中气动机J的输出压力工质气体的温度,并且经辅助热泵26压缩而升温后的工质进一步增加了输送至蒸发式冷凝器L的热量,也就是说,通过辅助热泵26、蒸发式冷凝器K和蒸发式冷凝器L,进一步增大了气动机J的压力工质气体输入端与压力工质气体输出端之间的压力差,从而进一步增大了气动机J的功率。
在进一步变型中,上述***还可以包括液体罐27,如图6所示,其中示出了根据本发明又一变型实施例的换能***的示意图。在这里,工质储液罐14为能够在两种工质之间进行换热的管壳式储液罐,气动机J的压力工质液体和压力工质气体可以在该管壳式储液罐的壳程中流动。从辅助热泵26输出的工质和/或从热泵I输出的工质可以用于加热液体罐27中的液体(例如水),并且在管壳式储液罐中的压力工质液体被输送到蒸发式冷凝器L之前,来自液体罐27中的经加热的液体被输送到该管壳式储液罐的管程中用于对管壳式储液罐的壳程中的压力工质液体进行加热。
当工质储液罐14中的压力工质液体的温度与蒸发式冷凝器L中的压力工质液体和/或气体的温度差别较大时,在工质储液罐14中的压力工质液体进入蒸发式冷凝器L时会影响从蒸发式冷凝器L输送给气动机J的压力工质气体的压力稳定性,从而可能影响气动机J的输出功率稳定性。因此,发明人进一步以上方法来对工质储液罐14中的压力工质液体进行预加热,从而减小或避免其在进入蒸发式冷凝器L中时影响蒸发式冷凝器L中的压力工质的温度,从而使得气动机J的输入压力工质气体的压力更加稳定。
下面通过示例给出以上方案的更多细节。举例而言,当工质储液罐14(在该示例中为管壳式储液罐,或者其它能够在不同介质之间换热的装置)中的气动机压力工质的液位(由例如液位计测量)高于预定高液位阈值19时,在使得储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器L连通之前,触发与液体罐27流体连通的泵24启动以将液体罐27中的热液体输送到储液罐14的管程中,用于将储液罐14壳程中的气动机压力工质液体(例如0℃的CO
2液体)升温(例如升温至30℃,压力达到72㎏/cm
2)。在储液罐14中的压力工质液体达到预定温度或者压力后(由温度或压力传感器25检测),则触发泵24停止运转, 并且允许储液罐14中的压力工质液体进入蒸发式冷凝器L中,此时阀门16和阀门18打开,阀门12和阀门13关闭,使储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器K断开连通而与蒸发式冷凝器L形成连通,则利用重力原理,储液罐14中升温后的压力工质液体(即,CO
2液体)自动落入蒸发式冷凝器L中,这样在储液罐14和蒸发式冷凝器L中的压力工质液体温度相近或一致的情况下,有利于维持蒸发式冷凝器L中输出的蒸汽压力稳定而波动小,从而使气动机转速稳定且使得其驱动的发电机输出电压及电流稳定。随着储液罐14中的气动机压力工质的液位下降,且下降至低于预定低液位阈值20时,则阀门16和18关闭,此时储液罐14中的压力与蒸发式冷凝器L中的压力是一致的,即远高于蒸发式冷凝器K中的压力,所以此时将阀门12打开,储液罐14中剩余的压力工质气体(例如高压CO
2气体)会进入辅助气动机11’以驱动其运转,进一步带动辅助热泵26工作,抽取蒸发式冷凝器K的管程中的热泵工质气体,使蒸发式冷凝器K的壳程中的气动机J的压力工质进一步制冷。
根据本发明的另一变型例,还提供了一种换能方法,如图5所示,该方法可以包括:
利用热泵I的工质从气动机J的输出压力工质气体吸收热量而将气动机J的输出压力工质气体冷凝得到压力工质液体,并将压力工质液体输送作为气动机J的输入压力工质;在这里,热泵I的工质从气动机J的输出压力工质气体吸收热量在实现时可以是这两种工质在换热装置中直接换热,或者也可以是间接方式,即,热泵I的工质通过换热装置从其它介质吸收热量,并且所述其它介质通过另外的换热装置从气动机J的输出压力工质气体吸收热量,本发明对此不作具体限制。
利用热泵I对吸收热量后的工质进行压缩以使工质升温从而用于对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热使其汽化成压力工质气体,该压力工质气体用于致动气动机J然后由气动机J输出作为气动机J的输出压力工质气体;在这里,类似地,热泵I升温后的工质对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热在实现时可以是这两种工质在换热装置中直接换热,或者也可以是间接方式,即,热泵I升温后的工质通过换热装置加热其它介质,并且所述其它介质通过另外的换热装置加热气动机J的输入压力工质,本发明对此不作具体限制。
对输入压力工质进行加热而降温后的热泵I的工质被输送用于重新从气动机J的输出压力工质气体吸收热量,从而使得热泵I的工质循环进行所述吸热、升温和降温过程。
在上述方法中,可以看出热泵I的工质在循环进行所述吸热、升温和降 温的过程,同时气动机J的压力工质则循环进行放热冷凝、吸热气化以及做功降温的过程。
结合图4所示,利用热泵I的工质从气动机J的输出压力工质气体吸收热量而将气动机J的输出压力工质气体冷凝可以在蒸发式冷凝器K中进行。热泵I的工质可以从蒸发式冷凝器K的管程中流过而吸热气化,而气动机J的输出压力工质气体可以流入蒸发式冷凝器K的壳程中而放热冷凝。类似地,热泵I的工质升温后用于对气动机J的输入压力工质进行加热可以在蒸发式冷凝器L中进行。热泵I的经压缩的工质可以从蒸发式冷凝器L的管程中流过而放热冷凝,而气动机J的输入压力工质在蒸发式冷凝器L的壳程中吸热气化。当然,在这里,蒸发式冷凝器K的管程和壳程中流动的介质也可以互换,只要二者之间可以如上进行热交换即可,本发明对此不作限制。
将压力工质液体输送作为气动机J的输入压力工质的方式与上述结合附图1-3所述的方式一致,下面进行简要描述。
在将压力工质液体输送作为气动机J的输入压力工质之前,该换能方法还可以包括:
使蒸发式冷凝器K与工质储液罐14连通,同时保持工质储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器L断开连通,从而使蒸发式冷凝器K中冷凝所得压力工质液体流入工质储液罐14中,并且,
当工质储液罐14中的液位高于预定第一阈值时,使工质储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器K断开连通,并且与蒸发式冷凝器L连通,从而能够使工质储液罐14中冷凝所得压力工质液体返回第二蒸发式冷凝器L中。
当工质储液罐14中的液位低于预定第二阈值时,则使工质储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器L断开连通而与蒸发式冷凝器K重新连通,使得蒸发式冷凝器K中冷凝所得压力工质液体能够流入工质储液罐14中,其中预定第二阈值低于预定第一阈值。
为了进一步重复利用***中的能量,该换能方法还可以包括:在工质储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器K重新连通时,利用工质储液罐14内部与蒸发式冷凝器K内部之间的压力差驱动辅助气动机11’。
为了进一步回收气动机发电过程中的废热,在根据上述两个变型例的换能***和换能方法中,气动机(J)与发电机连接以用于驱动发电机,将热泵(I)的、从蒸发式冷凝器L输出的至少一部分降温后的工质用于对与气动机J连接的发电机进行冷却,并且在所述冷却后被输送回蒸发式冷凝器K中,从而能够将电动机运转产生的热量进行重复利用。
在该方法中也可以如结合附图6所述的***中那样引入辅助热泵26进一步提供气动机J的工质输入端与工质输出端之间的压力差,并且对储液罐14中的气动机压力工质液体进行预加热。以下结合图6对此进行简要描述。
如图6所示,在所述方法中,还可以包括辅助热泵26,其由辅助气动机11’驱动,使得热泵26从蒸发式冷凝器K抽取热泵I的至少一部分工质并将其压缩以提高所述至少一部分工质的温度,然后将提高温度后的所述至少一部分工质与被热泵I压缩而升温后的工质汇合流入蒸发式冷凝器L中。
在进一步变型中,上述方法中还可以包括液体罐27,如图6所示。在这里,工质储液罐14为能够在两种工质之间进行换热的管壳式储液罐,气动机J的压力工质液体和压力工质气体可以在该管壳式储液罐的壳程中流动。从辅助热泵26输出的工质和/或从热泵I输出的工质可以用于加热液体罐27中的液体,并且在管壳式储液罐中的压力工质液体被输送到蒸发式冷凝器L之前,来自液体罐27中的经加热的液体被输送到该管壳式储液罐的管程中用于对管壳式储液罐的壳程中的压力工质液体进行加热。
具体地,当工质储液罐14中的气动机压力工质的液位高于预定高液位阈值19时,在使得储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器L连通之前,触发与液体罐27流体连通的泵24启动以将液体罐27中的热液体输送到储液罐14的管程中,用于将储液罐14壳程中的气动机压力工质液体(例如0℃的CO
2液体)升温(例如升温至30℃,压力达72㎏/cm
2)。在储液罐14中的压力工质液体达到预定温度或者压力后(由温度或压力传感器25检测),则触发泵24停止运转,并且允许储液罐14中的压力工质液体进入蒸发式冷凝器L中,此时阀门16和阀门18打开,阀门12和阀门13关闭,使储液罐14与蒸发式冷凝器K断开连通而与蒸发式冷凝器L形成连通,则利用重力原理,储液罐14中升温后的压力工质液体(即,CO
2液体)自动落入蒸发式冷凝器L中,这样在储液罐14和蒸发式冷凝器L中的压力工质液体温度相近或一致的情况下,有利于维持蒸发式冷凝器L中输出的蒸汽压力稳定而波动小,从而使气动机转速稳定且使得其驱动的发电机输出电压及电流稳定。随着储液罐14中的气动机压力工质的液位下降,且下降至低于预定低液位阈值20时,则阀门16和18关闭,此时储液罐14中的压力与蒸发式冷凝器L中的压力是一致的,即远高于蒸发式冷凝器K中的压力,所以此时将阀门12打开,储液罐14中剩余的压力工质气体(例如高压CO
2气体)会进入辅助气动机11’以驱动其运转,进一步带动辅助热泵26工作,抽取蒸发式冷凝器K的管程中的热泵工质气体,使蒸发式冷凝器K的壳程中的气动机J的压力工质进一步制冷。
在根据上述两个变型例的换能***和换能方法中,蒸发式冷凝器K、蒸发式冷凝器L和/或工质储液罐14可以是绝热的。当然,整个***中各个部件、管路是否绝热,可以根据需要来决定。另外,热泵I的工质可以为氨NH
3,且气动机J的压力工质可以为二氧化碳CO
2。
在根据上述两个变型例的换能***和换能方法中,作为示例,可以设定:在热泵I的工质入口处,氨的温度和压力分别为:0℃和3.38kg/cm
2;和/或,在热泵I的工质出口处,氨的温度和压力分别为:40℃和14.8kg/cm
2;和/或,在气动机J的压力工质入口处,CO
2的温度和压力为:40℃和96kg/cm
2;和/或,在气动机J的压力工质出口处,CO
2的温度和压力为:0℃和35kg/cm
2。以上仅为示例,本领域技术人员能够根据***中部件的各种参数来调整各位置处的工质温度和压力,例如根据热泵I的能效比(包括制冷能效比和制热能效比)、热泵I的工质、气动机J的能效比、气动机J的压力工质、蒸汽式冷凝器的换热效率等等来进行调整,使得该换能***能够总体上达到平衡而持久的运行。在上述工质温度和压力下,例如热泵I的能效比可以采用5.76,其制热能效比为3.36而制冷能效比为2.4。
举例而言,当输入电网电力并驱动热泵I的压缩机运转时,蒸发式冷凝器K的管程中的液氨被抽取气化,实现制冷能效比为2.4,同时产生的冷量使蒸发式冷凝器K的壳程中的CO
2气体冷凝,同时吸收CO
2冷凝热,使蒸发式冷凝器K的整体温度保持在一个稳定范围,达到平衡吸热(NH
3)平衡放热(CO
2)持久运行。
在热泵I的压缩机制冷的同时,经压缩机压缩的氨气进入蒸发式冷凝器L的管程中冷凝放热,实现制热能效比3.36,同时此热量加热蒸发式冷凝器L的壳程中的CO
2液体,使得氨气液化、CO
2气化膨胀同步进行,获得高压CO
2气体进入气动机J中膨胀做功,带动与气动机J连接的发电机发电。若气动机发电的整体效率按35﹪计算,将获得(3.36+2.4)*35%=2的能效比,与现有技术相比能够大幅度提高整个***的发电效率。
类似地,在上述结合图4、5、6所述的换能方法和***中,为了进一步优化其性能,例如补偿该换能方法和***中由于任何可能的原因(例如热量耗散、机械磨损等)引起的能量损耗,还提出了上述换能方法和***的变型。下面结合图4a和图5a描述上述换能方法和***的该变型,该变型与结合图4、5、6所述的换能方法和***的区别在于:将热量输送给所述输入压力工质而降温后的所述热泵I的工质中的至少一部分被外部热源加热、然后被重新用于对气动机J的输入压力工质加热。
如图4a所示,该变型例中的换能***还包括再热器Z,再热器Z通过至 少两个管路与蒸发式冷凝器L流体连通,使得降温后的热泵I的工质的至少一部分通过所述至少两个管路中的一个管路从蒸发式冷凝器L输入再热器Z中从而被流经再热器Z的外部热源加热、然后通过所述至少两个管路中的另一个管路返回蒸发式冷凝器L中被重新用于对气动机J的输入压力工质加热。这里的外部热源可以是能够给热泵I的工质提供热量的任何热源,例如各种工业余热。
从以上变型例可以看出,本换能***和换能方法有如下优势:
1、通过使热泵的工质闭路循环***与气动机的工质闭路循环***直接换热,综合利用了***中产生的热量、冷量,维持蒸发式冷凝器K和L之间的温度平衡,通过增加气动机进口压力并降低气动机排口压力,增加了气动机工质进口和工质排口之间的压差,使气动机的动力增强,发电效率增加。
2、整个***的所有设备、管道、阀门均可采用绝热保温,无论外界气温高低,都不影响***的运行。
3、本***内的用电设备极少,除了两只电动阀12和16(例如为电磁阀)几乎可以没有其他用电设备,对比火力发电厂中的自用电占比10-12﹪,显著节省能耗。
4、利用辅助热泵26进一步增加了气动机J的工质输入端与工质输出端之间的压力差。
5、通过对储液罐14中的气动机压力工质液体进行预加热,有利于气动机J的输出功率稳定。
