摘要
To explore the feasible method of using the air compression heat in the large-scale air separation unit, it was proposed to use the compression heat to drive the organic Rankine - vapor compression refrigeration coupling cycle. The cooling capacity was used to cool down compressors inlet air, to achieve the purpose of self-utilization of compression heat and self-enhancing of compression process. Taking the compression process in a 60000 m3/h scale air separation unit as an example, MATLAB was used to model the compression heat self-utilization system. Further, with the goal of maximizing the system economy, firefly algorithm was used for the optimization of heat exchange area of the main evaporators in typical humidity area. The result shows that when the relative humidity of the inlet air is 70% and 30%, the energy saving rate of the multi-stage air compression heat self-utilization system can reach 4.4% and 4.6%, respectively, and the payback time is 4.4 a and 5.5 a, respectively. The system shows better energy-saving effect and higher economic value. © 2021, Editorial Board of CIESC Journal. All right reserved.
