DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD

[001] Present disclosure relates to process devices. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system that is adapted to exchange heat between fluids to raise the temperature of at least one fluid of the fluids and generate power from said at least one fluid of the fluids, in an effective manner.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[002] In refineries, fractionation columns are generally utilized to separate sub-products from the crude oil through a distillation process. The fractionation columns may be categorized into different categories such as crude distillation column and vacuum distillation column. The crude oil is extracted from the ground in raw form. The crude oil is first stored in a crude oil source. The crude oil source is fluidly coupled to the crude distillation unit for supplying the crude oil to the crude distillation unit as per the requirement. The crude oil is extracted from the ground in a liquid form however, the crude distillation unit requires the crude oil in a vaporized form for separating sub-products from the crude oil. Therefore, in refineries, a plurality of heating devices such as a furnace, heat exchangers, etc. are utilized and positioned between the crude oil source and the crude distillation column to increase the temperature of the crude oil, before entering into the crude distillation column.

[003] Generally, the furnace or other heating devices utilize conventional fossil fuels such as coal, wood, natural gas, methane, etc., which are available in limited quantities. The higher usage of the said fossil fuels reduces the availability of conventional fossil fuels, thereby human life may be affected in the future. Further, due to burning of the fossil fuels, pollutants are generated which pollute the environment. This is undesirable. Further, when the quantity of crude oil intended to be supplied to the crude distillation unit is higher, the furnace is ineffective in raising the desired temperature of the crude oil before entering the crude distillation column within a preset time limit, thereby this declines the overall performance of the crude distillation unit, which is also undesirable.

[004] The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above or any other limitations associated with the prior art.

[0030] More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system that is based on solar thermal heating system. The said system integrates with fractionation units such as crude distillation units (CDU), vacuum distillation units (VDU), and the like for crude oil heating in industries such as refineries, petrochemical industries, oil and gas industries, gas processing industries, chemical industries, fertilizer industries or the like. Due to the integration of the said solar system with the fractionation units, the extracted solar power may be utilized in successive manner for crude oil heating, power extraction, and utilization of residual heat energy to meet the process heating requirement/ process applications.

[0031] Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same numerals will be used to refer to the same or like parts. Embodiments of the disclosure are described in the following paragraphs with reference to Figures 1-3. In Figures 1-3, the same elements or elements that have the same functions are indicated by the same reference signs.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, which illustrate a schematic view of a system (S) to exchange heat between fluids and generate power. The said system (S) may be utilized in different types of industries such as petrochemicals, process plants, cryogenic import terminals, and the like. In a preferred embodiment, the system (S) may be utilized in the process plant such as refineries. In the process plant, one or more fractionation columns may be established. The fractionation columns may be categorized into different categories, for example, crude distillation column, vacuum distillation column, etc. Each fractionation column may have provided for separating the sub-products from a fluid, for example, crude oil. The crude oil may be extracted from the ground and stored in a fluid chamber (10). The fluid chamber (10) may be configured to store the extracted crude oil therein. The fluid chamber (10) may be further fluidly coupled to the fractionation column through a fluid channel (C). The fluid channel (C) may be configured to allow the flow of fluid from the fluid chamber (10) to the fractionation column. The fluid [may be referred to as a second fluid] is stored in the fluid chamber (10) in a liquid condition whereas the fractionation column requires the second fluid in a vapourised condition to further separate sub-parts of the second fluid. Therefore, a plurality of heat exchangers (20), and a heating unit (30) may be disposed between the fluid chamber (10) and the fractionation column and fluidly coupled to the fluid channel (C) in order to raise the temperature of the second fluid flowing through the fluid channel (C).

[0033] Referring to Figure 3, the system (S) includes a heater (40). In an embodiment, the heater (40) may be a solar heater (40). In an alternate embodiment, the heater (40) may be any heater other than the solar heater, without limiting the scope of the present disclosure. The heater (40) may be configured to receive solar radiation from the sun and utilize the received solar radiation to heat a first fluid in order to convert the first fluid from the liquid condition to the vaporized condition. In an embodiment, the first fluid may be water and the like, which may be converted into steam [vaporized condition] after receiving heat from the solar radiation.

[0034] Referring to Figure 3, the system (S) includes a first heat exchanger (50). The first heat exchanger (50) may be fluidly coupled with the heater (40). The first heat exchanger (50) may be configured to receive the first fluid in the vapourised condition from the heater (40). In an embodiment, the system (S) includes a first fluid channel (C1). The first fluid channel (C1) extends between the heater (40) and the first heat exchanger (50). The first fluid channel (C1) may be configured to allow flow of the first fluid in the vaporized condition from the heater (40) to the first heat exchanger (50). In an alternate embodiment, the heater (40) and the first heat exchanger (50) may be integrated to one another, without limiting the scope of the present disclosure.

[0035] The first heat exchanger (50) may be fluidly coupled to a fluid channel (C). There may be more than one first heat exchanger fluidly coupled to the fluid channel (C). The said fluid channel fluidly connects to the fluid chamber (10) with the plurality of heat exchangers (20) and the heating unit (30) of the process plant. In one instance, the first heat exchanger (50) may be positioned between one heat exchanger and the heating unit (30), as shown in Figure 1. In another instance, the first heat exchanger (50) may be positioned between any two adjacent heat exchangers, as shown in Figure 2. In other instances, the first heat exchanger (50) may be positioned at any portion of the fluid channel between the fluid chamber (10) and the heating unit (30), without limiting the scope of the present disclosure. The first heat exchanger (50) may be configured to receive the second fluid from the fluid channel (C) as the second fluid flows through the fluid channel (C) from the fluid chamber (10) to the heating unit (30). The first fluid exchanger may be further configured to exchange heat between the received first fluid and the received second fluid as the heat transfers from the first fluid in the vaporized condition to the second fluid [crude oil] in order to increase the temperature of the crude oil. Due to the exchange of heat between the first fluid and the second fluid, the temperature of the first fluid decreases, and the temperature of the second fluid increases. The provision of the solar heater (40) and the heat exchanger aids in decreasing the heating load on the heating unit which enhances the overall performance of the fractionation column. The provision of decreasing the load on the heating unit (30) aids in reducing the usage of fossil fuel, thereby polluting the environment through burning fossil fuels may be reduced.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3, the system (S) includes a first power unit (60). The first power unit (60) may be fluidly coupled to the first heat exchanger (50).

The second fluid channel (C2) extends between the first heat exchanger (50) and the first power unit (60). The second fluid channel (C2) is configured to allow flow of the first fluid from the first heat exchanger (50) to the first power unit (60). When the heat exchanges between the first fluid and the second fluid in the first heat exchanger (50), the temperature of the first fluid gets reduced to an extent and after that, the first fluid flows from the first heat exchanger (50) to the first power unit (60) through the second channel.

[0037] Referring further to Figure 3, the first power unit (60) includes a first rotary member (62). The first rotary member (62) may be a turbine which may have a plurality of blades. The first rotary member (62) may be configured to be rotated when a volume of the received first fluid strikes the plurality of blades of the rotary member. The first power unit (60) includes a first power generator (64). The first power generator (64) is operatively coupled to the first rotary member (62). The first power generator (64) may be configured to generate electricity corresponding to the rotation of the first rotary member (62). When the first fluid in the hot condition strikes the plurality of blades, the rotary member rotates about its center in response to the striking force applied to the plurality of blades. The rotation of the rotary member aids in rotating an armature of the first power generator (64) in order to generate electricity. Accordingly, the provision of the first power unit (60) may be provided to utilize the heat energy contained by the volume of the first fluid after exchanging heat with the second fluid in order to generate electricity. This configuration of the system (S) aids in recovering the heat from the first fluid and utilizing the recovered heat to generate electricity. The generated electricity may be utilized in different applications within the process plant and/or out of the process plant, without limiting the scope of the present disclosure.

[0038] Referring further to Figure 3, the system (S) includes a second power unit (70). The second power unit (70) may be fluidly coupled to the first power unit (60). The second power unit (70) may be configured to receive the first fluid after striking the plurality of blades of the rotary member. In an embodiment, the system (S) includes a third fluid channel (C3). The third fluid channel (C3) extends between the first power unit (60) and the second power unit (70). The third fluid channel (C3) is configured to allow flow of the first fluid from the first power unit (60) to the second power unit (70). When the first fluid strikes the plurality of blades of the rotary member, the temperature of the first fluid gets reduced to an extent and after that, the first fluid flows from the first power unit (60) to the second power unit (70) through the third channel.

[0039] Referring further to Figure 3, the second power unit (70) includes a second heat exchanger (72). The second heat exchanger (72) may be configured to receive the first fluid from the first power unit (60) after striking the plurality of blades of the rotary member. The second heat exchanger (72) may be configured to exchange heat between the received volume of the first fluid and a third fluid flowing within the second power unit (70). Accordingly, when the heat exchanges between the first fluid and the third fluid, the temperature of the first fluid decreases, and the temperature of the third fluid increases and it becomes vapour phase.

[0040] Referring further to Figure 3, the second power unit (70) includes a second rotary member (74). The second rotary member (74) may be fluidly coupled to the second heat exchanger (72). The second rotary member (74) may be configured to receive the third fluid in a hot condition from the second heat exchanger (72) after exchanging heat with the first fluid. The second rotary member (74) may be a turbine that may have a plurality of blades. The received third fluid strikes the plurality of blades, thereby the second rotary member (74) along with the plurality of blades rotates about its center. Further, the second power unit (70) includes a second power generator (76). The second power generator (76) may be operatively coupled to the second rotary member (74), thereby the second power generator (76) generates electricity corresponding to the rotation of the second rotary member (74). The second rotary member (74) rotates corresponding to the received third fluid striking on the plurality of blades and the second power generator (76) generates electricity corresponding to the rotation of the second rotary member (74). For example, when the third fluid in the hot condition strikes the plurality of blades, the second rotary member (74) rotates about its centre in response to the striking force applied to the plurality of blades. The rotation of the second rotary member (74) aids in rotating an armature of the second power generator (76) in order to generate electricity. Accordingly, the provision of the second heat exchanger (72) and the second power unit (70) may be provided to utilize the heat energy contained in the first fluid in order to generate electricity. This configuration of the system (S) aids in recovering the heat from the first fluid and utilizing the recovered heat to generate electricity. The generated electricity may be utilized in different applications within the process plant and/or out of the process plant, without limiting the scope of the present disclosure.

[0041] Referring further to Figure 3, the second power unit (70) includes a condenser (78). The condenser (78) may be fluidly coupled to the second rotary member (74). The condenser (78) may be configured to receive the third fluid after striking the plurality of blades of the second rotary member (74). The condenser (78) may be configured to reduce the temperature of the received third fluid. The second power unit (70) further includes a pumping unit (80). The pumping unit (80) may be fluidly coupled to the condenser (78) at one end and the second heat exchanger (72) at the other end. The pumping unit (80) may be configured to pressurize the third fluid to flow from the condenser (78) towards the second heat exchanger (72). The second heat exchanger (72) further receives the third fluid at a low temperature from the pumping unit (80) and exchanges heat with the first fluid in order to raise the temperature of the third fluid. In an embodiment, the third fluid may be low boiling hydrocarbon liquid and the like, without limiting the scope of the present disclosure.

[0042] Referring further to Figure 3, the second heat exchanger (72) may be fluidly coupled to the heater (40). The first fluid may be supplied from the second heat exchanger (72) to the heater (40) after exchanging heat between the first fluid and the third fluid. In an embodiment, the system (S) includes a fourth fluid channel (C4). The fourth fluid channel (C4) extends between the second power unit (70) and the heater (40). The fourth fluid channel (C4) may be configured to allow flow of the first fluid in the liquid condition from the second power unit (70) to the heater (40). The temperature of the first fluid gets reduced after exchanging heat between the first fluid and the third fluid. The third fluid may convert from the vaporized condition to the liquid condition. Accordingly, the first fluid may be supplied to the heater (40) to heat the first fluid in order to convert the liquid condition into the vaporized condition. The first fluid in the vaporized condition further flows to the first heat exchanger (50) to follow above defined steps.

[0043] In accordance with the present disclosure, the system (S), as explained in the above paragraphs, effectively raises the temperature of the crude oil before entering the heating unit (30) [furnace] and reduces the heating load over the said heating unit (30).
