Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Blockheizkraftwerk gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspru ches 1.The invention relates to a combined heat and power plant according to the preamble of claim ches 1.
Bei einem stromgeführten Betrieb eines solchen Blockheizkraftwerkes kann es, insbeson dere im Sommer, vorkommen, daß die bei der Stromproduktion anfallende Wärme nicht benötigt wird und abgeführt werden muß. Hierdurch kann es erforderlich werden, erhebliche Wärmemengen abführen zu müssen. Dies erfordert mit Luftkühlung einen sehr erheblichen Aufwand. So benötigt man z. B., um 2 kW thermisch mit einer Temperaturdifferenz von 20 K abzuführen, ca. 300 m3/h Kühlluft. Diese Luftmenge ist nur mit sehr großen Gebläsen und Abgasquerschnitten möglich. Aus diesem Grund ist es bei den herkömmlichen Blockheiz kraftwerken nicht immer möglich, diese stromgeführt zu betreiben, so daß diese modulierend betrieben werden oder abgeschaltet werden müssen und der Strom bedarf dann aus einem öffentlichen Netz gedeckt werden muß.In a current-operated operation of such a combined heat and power plant, it can happen, in particular in summer, that the heat generated during the electricity production is not required and must be dissipated. This can make it necessary to remove significant amounts of heat. With air cooling, this requires a very considerable effort. So you need z. B. to dissipate 2 kW thermally with a temperature difference of 20 K, about 300 m 3 / h of cooling air. This amount of air is only possible with very large fans and exhaust gas cross-sections. For this reason, it is not always possible in the conventional combined heat and power plants to operate them in a current-carrying manner, so that they must be operated in a modulating manner or have to be switched off and the electricity then has to be covered from a public network.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein Blockheizkraftwerk der ein gangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, bei dem es möglich ist, auch größere Wärmemengen mit geringem Aufwand abführen zu können.The aim of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and a combined heat and power plant propose the type mentioned above, in which it is possible to also larger amounts of heat to be able to transfer with little effort.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies bei einem Blockheizkraftwerk der eingangs erwähnten Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 erreicht. According to the invention, this is achieved in a combined heat and power plant of the type mentioned at the outset the characterizing features of claim 1 achieved.
Durch die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen wird erreicht, daß das abzuführende heiße Abgas durch die Verdunstung des Kondensats erheblich abgekühlt wird, wodurch die allenfalls not wendige weitere Abkühlung mit erheblich geringeren Kühlluftmengen erreicht werden kann.The proposed measures ensure that the hot exhaust gas to be removed is significantly cooled by the evaporation of the condensate, which means that if necessary agile further cooling can be achieved with significantly lower amounts of cooling air.
Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 2 ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß die abzuführende Wärme praktisch vollständig durch Verdampfung von Wasser abgeführt werden kann, so daß prak tisch keine nennenswerte Kühlluftmengen erforderlich sind.The features of claim 2 have the advantage that the heat to be dissipated can be removed almost completely by evaporation of water, so that prak no significant amounts of cooling air are required.
Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 3 ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß die für den Reformer er forderliche Wärmemenge im wesentlichen durch die von der Brennstoffzelle abzuführende Wärme gedeckt werden kann.The features of claim 3 have the advantage that he for the reformer required amount of heat essentially by the to be dissipated by the fuel cell Heat can be covered.
Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen die Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 verschiedene Ausführungsformen erfindungsgemäßer Blockheizkraftwerke.The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. Here, FIGS. 1 and Fig. 2, various embodiments of inventive cogeneration.
Gleiche Bezugszeichen bedeuten in beiden Figuren gleiche Einzelteile.The same reference symbols in both figures mean the same individual parts.
Bei den Blockheizkraftwerken gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein Reformer 1 vorgesehen, der über eine Brenngasleitung 5 mit einem kohlenwasserstoffhaltigen Brenngas versorgbar ist.In the combined heat and power according to FIGS. 1 and 2, a reformer 1 is provided which can be supplied with a hydrocarbon-containing fuel gas through a fuel gas pipe 5.
Der Reformer 1, in dem aus dem Brenngas und Luft Prozeßgas erzeugt wird, ist mit einer Prozeßgasleitung 6 mit einer Brennstoffzelle 2 verbunden.The reformer 1 , in which process gas is generated from the fuel gas and air, is connected to a process gas line 6 with a fuel cell 2 .
Die Brennstoffzelle 2 ist mit einer elektrischen Ausleitung 10 versehen. Weiter ist eine Ab gasleitung 7 vorgesehen, die in einen Nachbrenner 3 mündet. Dieser verbrennt die noch reaktionsfähigen Teile des Abgases der Brennstoffzelle 2.The fuel cell 2 is provided with an electrical discharge line 10 . From a gas line 7 is provided, which opens into an afterburner 3 . This burns the still reactive parts of the exhaust gas of the fuel cell 2 .
Eine weitere Abgasleitung 9 führt von einem Regelventil 15, das dem Nachbrenner 3 nach geschaltet ist, zu einem Wärmetauscher 4, in den eine Kondensatleitung 13 des Reformers 1 mündet. Dabei dient die Wärme der Abgase zum Verdampfen des Kondensats, wodurch den Abgasen eine sehr erhebliche Wärmemenge entzogen wird. Die abgekühlten Abgase strömen über eine Abgasleitung 11 aus dem Wärmetauscher 4 ab.Another exhaust pipe 9 leads from a control valve 15 , which is connected after the afterburner 3 , to a heat exchanger 4 , into which a condensate pipe 13 of the reformer 1 opens. The heat of the exhaust gases is used to evaporate the condensate, which removes a very significant amount of heat from the exhaust gases. The cooled exhaust gases flow out of the heat exchanger 4 via an exhaust pipe 11 .
Der Nachbrenner 3 ist über das Regelventil 15 weiter mit einer Abgasleitung 8 verbunden, die in den Reformer 1 mündet und diesen mit Wärme versorgt. Die entsprechend abgekühl ten Abgase strömen über eine Abgasleitung 12 des Reformers 1 ab.The afterburner 3 is further connected via the control valve 15 to an exhaust gas line 8 which opens into the reformer 1 and supplies it with heat. The correspondingly cooled exhaust gases flow from an exhaust pipe 12 of the reformer 1 .
Beim Betrieb wird im Reformer 1 Brenngas unter Zufuhr von Wärme aus den Abgasen des Nachbrenners 3 in Prozeßgas umgewandelt, das der Brennstoffzelle 2 zugeführt wird. In dieser wird elektrischer Strom erzeugt, der über die Ausleitung 10 abgeführt wird.During operation, fuel gas is converted in the reformer 1 by supplying heat from the exhaust gases of the afterburner 3 to process gas which is fed to the fuel cell 2 . In this electrical current is generated, which is discharged via the diversion 10 .
Das in der Brennstoffzelle 2 dabei anfallende heiße Abgas wird dabei dem Nachbrenner 3 zugeführt und in diesem ausgebrannt, wobei die dabei entstehende Wärme zum Teil dem Wärmetauscher 4 zugeführt wird, in dem das im Reformer 1 anfallende Kondensat zur Ab kühlung der Abgase der Brennstoffzelle 2 verdampft wird. Der andere Teil der im Nachbren ner 3 erzeugten Wärme wird dem Reformer 1 zugeführt und deckt dessen Wärmebedarf, wobei Wasser verdampft wird. Die abgekühlten Abgase strömen über die Abgasleitung 12 ab.The resulting hot exhaust gas in the fuel cell 2 is fed to the afterburner 3 and burned out in it, the resulting heat being supplied in part to the heat exchanger 4 in which the condensate obtained in the reformer 1 evaporates to cool the exhaust gases of the fuel cell 2 becomes. The other part of the heat generated in Nachbren ner 3 is fed to the reformer 1 and covers its heat requirements, with water being evaporated. The cooled exhaust gases flow out via the exhaust line 12 .
Das im Reformer anfallende Kondensat gelangt in den Wärmetauscher 4 und wird in diesem verdampft.The condensate accumulating in the reformer enters the heat exchanger 4 and is evaporated there.
Die Ausführungsform nach der Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von jener nach der Fig. 1 nur da durch, daß in den Wärmetauscher 4 zusätzlich eine Frischwasserleitung 14 mündet, über die zusätzliches Wasser dem Wärmetauscher 4 zugeführt werden kann. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Abgase der Brennstoffzelle 2 im wesentlichen durch die Verdampfung von Was ser bzw. Kondensat abzukühlen.The embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1 only in that a fresh water line 14 also opens into the heat exchanger 4 , via which additional water can be supplied to the heat exchanger 4 . This makes it possible to cool the exhaust gases of the fuel cell 2 essentially by the evaporation of water or condensate.
