Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mixed working medium refrigeration precooling, in particular to a mixed working medium high-pressure gas liquefaction and supercooling system.
Background
Liquefied gases are important industrial products. The greater the supercooling degree of the liquefied gas, the smaller the storage and transportation difficulty of the liquefied gas, and the smaller the flash evaporation loss in the use process. In the case of nitrogen and oxygen liquefaction, the development of a conventional large-scale air separation plant is mature and is also a main source of liquefied gas in the market, but the product mainly comprises gas nitrogen and gas oxygen, and the liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen gas are only byproducts accounting for a very small part of the yield. The preparation of the extremely large-scale liquefied gas requires a special liquefaction process to pressurize the gas nitrogen to high pressure and then liquefy the gas nitrogen again, and the higher the liquefaction pressure is, the lower the unit liquefaction energy consumption is. The current methods for realizing larger refrigerating capacity are gas expansion refrigeration cycle and mixed working medium throttling refrigeration cycle based on dividing wall type heat return. And with the gas expansion refrigeration cycle, the mixed working medium throttling refrigeration cycle has obviously higher efficiency and smaller compressor discharge capacity in the aspect of gas cooling liquefaction, does not contain low-temperature moving parts, and is an ideal cold energy source for gas liquefaction.
However, for the liquefied gas to be liquefied with a high normal pressure boiling point such as natural gas and the like (about (-161 ℃) and above), because the liquid phase sensible heat release plays a leading role, the temperature-load characteristic of the supercooling end of the liquefied gas is linear, the matching effect with the mixed working medium is poor, and the efficiency is low, so that an additional flow structure needs to be arranged to optimize the matching of the supercooling section. For the liquefied gas to be liquefied with lower normal pressure boiling point, such as nitrogen gas (196 ℃ below zero) and the like, except for the problem of load matching of a supercooling section, the refrigeration temperature required by a supercooling stage is lower and is usually lower than-180 ℃, and the mixed working medium throttling refrigerating machine has serious performance attenuation in a temperature region below-180 ℃, so that the liquefied gas is difficult to be directly supercooled to be lower, and therefore other flow structures are also required to be added to make up for the performance short plate of the mixed working medium throttling refrigerating machine at the lower refrigeration temperature.
