Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for infrared suppression in general, and to methods and apparatus for decreasing the exhaust temperature of a marine vessel power plant in particular.

2. Background Information

Marine power plants produce exhaust products typically in a temperature range of 350–1800° F. In most applications, the exhaust products are passed through a sizable duct (typically referred to as a “stack”) and released to the environment. Once released to the environment, the thermal energy dissipates. A problem with releasing thermal energy directly to the environment is that the marine vessel emits a substantial, undesirable thermal signal.

What is needed is a method and apparatus for suppressing the thermal signal of a marine vessel.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

According to the present invention, a method and apparatus for decreasing the exhaust temperature of a marine vessel power plant is provided. The present method comprises the steps of: 1) providing a Rankine Cycle device that includes at least one of each of an evaporator, a condenser, and a refrigerant feed pump; 2) disposing the evaporator within an exhaust duct of a power plant of the marine vessel; 3) operating the power plant; and 4) selectively pumping refrigerant through the Rankine Cycle device.

The present method and apparatus can be operated to significantly reduce the temperature of the exhaust products being released to the environment. As a result, the infrared signal of the vessel is significantly decreased.

The significantly reduced exhaust temperatures also enable the use of an exhaust duct, or stack, with a smaller cross-sectional area. The mass flow of the power plant exhaust is a function of the volumetric flow and density of the exhaust. The significant decrease in exhaust temperature increases the density of the exhaust. As a result, the mass flow is substantially decreased, and the required size of the marine power plant exhaust duct is substantially less.

The present invention apparatus and method are operable any time the vessel's power plant is operational. There is no requirement that the vessel be underway, because the present method and apparatus are independent of the vessel's drive system.

The range of a marine vessel that burns liquid fossil fuel within its power plant is typically dictated by the fuel reserve it can carry. In most modem marine vessels, a portion of the fuel reserve is devoted to running a power plant that generates electrical energy. Hence, both the propulsion needs and the electrical energy needs draw on the fuel reserve. The present method and apparatus decreases the fuel reserve requirements by generating electricity using waste heat generated by the power plant of the vessel rather than fossil fuel. Hence, the vessel is able to carry less fuel and have the same range, or carry the same amount of fuel and have a greater range.

The present method and apparatus also provide advantages with respect to the stability of the vessel. For example, the present method and apparatus produces electrical energy via waste heat. Conventional marine systems produce electrical energy by consuming liquid fuel. As the fuel is depleted, the buoyancy characteristics of the vessel are changed. The weight of the present apparatus, on the other hand, remains constant and thereby facilitates stability control of the vessel. In addition, the weight of the present apparatus can be advantageously positioned within the vessel to optimize the stability of the vessel.

The stability of the vessel is also improved by the smaller exhaust duct, which is enabled by the present invention. The smaller exhaust duct decreases the weight of vessel components disposed above the center of gravity of the vessel, thereby increasing the stability of the vessel.

These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in light of the detailed description of the best mode embodiment thereof, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to FIGS. 1–6, the present method and apparatus for reducing the exhaust temperature of a marine vessel power plant includes providing an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) device 20 for waste heat utilization. The ORC device 20 includes at least one of each of the following: 1) a turbine coupled with an electrical generator (together hereinafter referred to as the “turbo-generator 22”); 2) a condenser 24; 3) a refrigerant feed pump 26; 4) an evaporator 28; and 5) a control system. The ORC device 20 is preferably a closed “hermetic” system with no fluid makeup. In the event of leaks, either non-condensables are automatically purged from the device 20 or charge is manually replenished from refrigerant gas cylinders.

The ORC device 20 uses a commercially available refrigerant as the working medium. An example of an acceptable working medium is R-245fa (1,1,1,3,3, pentafluoropropane). R-245fa is a non-flammable, non-ozone depleting fluid. R-245fa has a saturation temperature near 300° F. and 300 PSIG that allows capture of waste heat over a wide range of IGT exhaust temperatures.

Now referring to FIGS. 1–4, the turbo-generator includes a single-stage radial inflow turbine 30 that typically operates at about 18000 rpm, a gearbox 32 with integral lubrication system, and an induction generator 34 operating at 3600 rpm. The gearbox 32 includes a lubrication system. In some instances, the gearbox lubrication system is integral with the gearbox 32.

In one embodiment, the turbo-generator 22 is derived from a commercially available refrigerant compressor-motor unit; e.g., a Carrier Corporation model 19XR compressor-motor. As a turbine, the compressor is operated with a rotational direction that is opposite the direction it rotates when functioning as a compressor. Modifications performed to convert the compressor into a turbine include: 1) replacing the impeller with a rotor having rotor blades shaped for use in a turbine application; 2) changing the shroud to reflect the geometry of the rotor blades; 3) altering the flow area of the diffuser to enable it to perform as a nozzle under a given set of operating conditions; and 4) eliminating the inlet guide vanes which modulate refrigerant flow in the compressor mode. To the extent that there are elements within the 19XR compressor that have a maximum operating temperature below the operating temperature of the turbine 30, those elements are replaced or modified to accommodate the higher operating temperature of the turbine 30.

In some embodiments, the turbo-generator 22 includes peripheral components such as an oil cooler 36 (shown schematically in FIGS. 7–10) and oil reclaim eductor (not shown). Both the oil cooler 36 and the eductor and their associated plumbing are attached to the turbo-generator 22.

Referring to FIG. 6, a number of different evaporators 28 can be used with the ORC device 20. A single pressure once-through evaporator 28 with vertical hot gas flow and horizontal flow of refrigerant through fin-tube parallel circuits serviced by vertical headers is an acceptable type of evaporator 28. Examples of acceptable evaporator tube materials include carbon steel tubes with carbon steel fins, and stainless steel tubes with carbon steel fins, both of which have been successfully demonstrated in exhaust gas flows at up to 900° F. Other evaporator tube materials may be used alternatively. Inlet header flow orifices are used to facilitate refrigerant flow distribution. Different refrigerant flow configurations through the evaporator 28 can be utilized; e.g., co-flow, co-counterflow, co-flow boiler/superheater and a counterflow preheater, etc. The present evaporator 28 is not limited to any particular flow configuration.

In all the evaporator 28 embodiments, the number of preheater tubes and the crossover point are selected in view of the desired hot gas exit temperature as well as the boiler section inlet subcooling. A pair of vertical tube sheets 38, each disposed on an opposite end of the evaporator 28, supports evaporator coils. Insulated casings 40 surround the entire evaporator 28 with removable panels for accessible cleaning.

The number of evaporators 28 can be tailored to the application. For example, if there is more than one exhaust duct, an evaporator 28 can be disposed in each exhaust duct. More than one evaporator 28 disposed in a single duct also offers the advantages of redundancy and the ability to handle a greater range of exhaust mass flow rates. At lower exhaust flow rates a single evaporator 28 may provide sufficient cooling, while still providing the energy necessary to power the turbo-generator 22. At higher exhaust flow rates, a plurality of evaporators 28 may be used to provide sufficient cooling and the energy necessary to power one or more turbo-generators 22.

Referring to FIGS. 1–5, the condenser 24 is a shell-and-tube type unit that is sized to satisfy the requirements of the ORC device. The condenser 24 includes a housing 42 and a plurality of tubes 44 (hereinafter referred to as a “bank of tubes”) disposed within the housing 42. The housing 42 includes a working medium inlet port 46, a working medium exit port 48, a coolant inlet port 50, and a coolant exit port 52. The coolant inlet and exit ports 50, 52 are connected to the bank of tubes 44 to enable cooling fluid to enter the condenser 24 housing, pass through the bank of tubes 44, and subsequently exit the condenser housing 42. Likewise, the working medium inlet and exit ports 46, 48 are connected to the condenser housing 42 to enable working medium to enter the housing 42, pass around the bank of tubes 44, and subsequently exit the housing 42. In some embodiments, one or more diffuser plates 54 (see FIG. 5) are positioned adjacent the working medium inlet 46 to facilitate distribution of the working medium within the condenser 24. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1–4, the housing 42 includes a removable access panel 56 at each axial end of the housing 42. In a preferred embodiment, one of the access panels 56 is pivotally attached to one circumferential side of the housing 42 and attachable to the opposite circumferential side via a selectively operable latch (not shown) so that the access panel 56 may be readily pivoted to provide access to the bank of tubes 44.

In some embodiments, a non-condensable purge unit 58 (shown schematically in FIGS. 7–9) is attached to the condenser 24. The purge unit 58 is operable to extract air and water vapor that may accumulate in the vapor region of a condenser housing 42 to minimize or eliminate their contribution to oil hydrolysis or component corrosion. The purge unit 58 is actuated only when the system controller thermodynamically identifies the presence of non-condensable gas.

Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the ORC device 20 includes a recuperator 60 for preheating the working medium prior to its entry into the evaporator 28. The recuperator 60 is operable to receive thermal energy from at least a portion of the working medium exiting the turbo-generator 22 and use it to preheat working medium entering the evaporator 28. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the recuperator 60 includes a plurality of ducts 62 disposed within the housing 42 of the condenser 24. The ducts 62 are connected inline downstream of the working medium exit port 48 of the condenser 24 and upstream of the evaporator 28. A partition 64 partially surrounds the recuperator ducts 62 to separate them from the remainder of the condenser 24. Working medium enters the condenser 24 through the working medium inlet port 46 and passes through the recuperator 60 prior to entering the remainder of the condenser 24. One or more diffusers 54 can be disposed within the recuperator to facilitate distribution of the working medium within the recuperator 60. Placing the recuperator 60 within the condenser 24 advantageously minimizes the size of the ORC device 20. A recuperator 60 disposed outside of the condenser 24 can be used alternatively, however.

Referring to FIGS. 1–4, the ORC device 20 includes one or more variable speed refrigerant feed pumps 26 to supply liquid refrigerant to the evaporator 28. In one embodiment, the refrigerant feed pump 26 is a turbine regenerative pump that supplies liquid refrigerant to the evaporator 28 with relatively low net pump suction head (NPSH). This design, combined with the relatively low system pressure difference, allows the feed pump 26 and condenser 24 to be mounted at the same elevation and obviates the need for separate condensate and feed pumps. In alternative embodiments, the refrigerant feed pump 26 may be a side channel centrifugal pump or an axial inlet centrifugal pump. The refrigerant feed pump 26 is equipped with an inverter to allow fully proportional variable speed operation across the full range of exhaust conditions. Other pump controls may be used alternatively. Applications using two or more refrigerant feed pumps 26 offer the advantage of redundancy. In some embodiments, the piping 74 disposed immediately aft of each of the feed pumps 26 are connected to one another by a cross-over piping segment 76. Multiple refrigerant feed pumps 26 and the cross-over segment 76 enhance the ability of the ORC device 20 to accommodate a marine environment having significant pitch and roll by collecting working medium at different locations in the condenser 24. ORC configurations having more than one turbo-generator 22 and more than one refrigerant feed pump 26 are provided with valves 66 (see FIGS. 7–10) that enable each turbo-generator 22 or feed pump 26 to be selectively removed from the working medium flow pattern. Alternatively, a feed pump 26 may be associated with each turbo-generator 22, and selective actuation of the associated feed pump 26 can be used to engage/disengage the associated turbo-generator 22.

The ORC device 20 configurations shown in FIGS. 7–10 each includes a cooling circuit 68 used in marine applications, wherein a cooling medium (e.g., seawater) is accessed from a cooling medium source 70 (e.g., the body of water in the environment surrounding the marine vessel) and circuitously passed through the condenser 24 (via the coolant inlet and exit ports 50, 52) and returned to the cooling medium source 70. In alternative embodiments, the cooling circuit 68 includes a heat exchanger (e.g., a cooling tower) to remove thermal energy from the cooling medium.

ORC device 20 configurations are shown schematically in FIGS. 7–10. These configurations represent examples of ORC device 20 configurations and should not be interpreted as the only configurations possible within the present invention. Arrows indicate the working medium flow pattern within each configuration.

Referring to a first configuration shown in FIG. 7, beginning at a pair of refrigerant feed pumps 26, working medium is pumped toward an evaporator 28. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, prior to entering the evaporator 28, the working medium passes through a recuperator 60, wherein the working medium is preheated. In a marine application, the evaporator 28 is disposed within an exhaust duct that receives exhaust products from the vessel's power plant. Working medium exiting the evaporator 28 subsequently travels toward the turbo-generator 22. A bypass valve 72, disposed between the evaporator 28 and the turbo-generator 22, enables the selective diversion of working medium around the turbo-generator 22 and toward the condenser 24. An orifice 73 is disposed downstream of the bypass valve 72 to produce a flow restriction. As will be discussed below, the bypass valve 72 is operable to fully bypass working medium around the turbo-generator 22. Alternatively, the bypass valve 72 can operate to selectively vary the amount of working medium that is introduced into the turbo-generator 22. Assuming some, or all, of the working medium has not been diverted around the turbo-generator 22, the working medium enters the turbine 30 portion of the turbo-generator 22 and provides the energy necessary to power the turbo-generator 22. Once through the turbo-generator 22, the working medium travels toward the condenser 24. Working medium that is diverted around the turbo-generator 22 also travels toward the condenser 24. A perspective view of this configuration of the ORC device 20 is shown in FIG. 1, less the evaporator 28.

A second ORC device 20 configuration is schematically shown in FIG. 8 that includes a pair of turbo-generators 22. The turbine inlets are connected to a feed conduit from the evaporator 28. A turbine inlet valve 66a is disposed immediately upstream of each turbo-generator 22. In some embodiments, a turbine exit valve 66b is disposed immediately downstream of each turbo-generator 22. In those embodiments, a safety pressure bleed is provided connected to the low pressure side of the ORC device. The second ORC device 20 configuration also includes a plurality of evaporators 28. An evaporator inlet valve 78 is disposed immediately upstream of each evaporator 28. In some embodiments, an evaporator exit valve 80 is disposed immediately downstream of each evaporator 28. A perspective view of this configuration of the ORC device 20 is shown in FIG. 2, less the evaporator 28.

A third ORC device 20 configuration is schematically shown in FIG. 9 that includes three turbo-generators 22. A perspective view of a portion of this configuration of the ORC device 20 is shown in FIG. 3, less the evaporator 28.

A fourth ORC device 20 configuration is schematically shown in FIG. 10 that includes three turbo-generators 22 and a pair of condensers 24. A perspective view of a portion of this configuration of the ORC device 20 is shown in FIG. 4, less the evaporator 28.

In all of the configurations, the ORC controls maintain the ORC device 20 along a highly predictable programmed turbine inlet superheat/pressure curve through the use of the variable speed feed pump 26 in a closed hermetic environment. An example of such a curve is shown in FIG. 11.

The condenser load is regulated via the feed pump(s) 26 to maintain condensing pressure as the system load changes. In addition to the primary feed pump speed/superheat control loop, the ORC controls can also be used to control: 1) net exported power generation by controlling either hot gas blower speed or bypass valve 72 position depending on the application; 2) selective staging of the generator 34 and gearbox 32 oil flow; and 3) actuation of the purge unit 58. The ORC controls can also be used to monitor all ORC system sensors and evaluate if any system operational set point ranges are exceeded. Alerts and alarms can be generated and logged in a manner analogous to the operation of a commercially available chillers, with the control system initiating a protective shutdown sequence (and potentially a restart lockout) in the event of an alarm. The specific details of the ORC controls will depend upon the specific configuration involved and the application at hand. The present invention ORC device 20 can be designed for fully automated unattended operation with appropriate levels of prognostics and diagnostics.

The ORC device 20 can be equipped with a system enable relay that can be triggered from the ORC controls or can be self-initiating using a hot gas temperature sensor. After the ORC device 20 is activated, the system will await the enable signal to begin the autostart sequence. Once the autostart sequence is triggered, fluid supply to the evaporator 28 is ramped up at a controlled rate to begin building pressure across the bypass valve 72 while the condenser load is matched to the system load. When the control system determines that turbine superheat is under control, the turbine oil pump is activated and the generator 34 is energized as an induction motor. The turbine speed is thus locked to the grid frequency with no requirement for frequency synchronization. With the turbine at speed, the valve 66a immediately upstream of the turbine 30 opens automatically and power inflow to the generator 34 seamlessly transitions into electrical power generation.

Shutdown of the ORC device 20 is equally straightforward. When the temperature of the exhaust products passing through the evaporator(s) 28 falls below the operational limit, or if superheat cannot be maintained at minimum power, the ORC controls system begins an auto-shutdown sequence. With the generator 34 still connected to the grid, the valve 66a immediately upstream of the turbine 30 closes and the turbine bypass valve 72 opens. The generator 34 once again becomes a motor (as opposed to a generator) and draws power momentarily before power is removed and the unit coasts to a stop. The refrigerant feed pump 26 continues to run to cool the evaporator 28 while the condenser 24 continues to reject load, eventually resulting in a continuous small liquid circulation through the system. Once system temperature and pressure are adequate for shutdown, the refrigerant feed pump 26, turbine oil pump, and condenser 24 are secured and the system is ready for the next enable signal.

When the autostart sequence is complete, the control system begins continuous superheat control and alarm monitoring. The control system will track all hot gas load changes within a specified turndown ratio. Very rapid load changes can be tracked. During load increases, significant superheat overshoot can be accommodated until the system reaches a new equilibrium. During load decreases, the system can briefly transition to turbine bypass until superheat control is re-established. If the supplied heat load becomes too high or low, superheat will move outside qualified limits and the system will (currently) shutdown. From this state, the ORC device 20 will again initiate the autostart sequence after a short delay if evaporator high temperature is present.

The ORC device 20 can be run according to different modes of operation for the purpose of reducing the temperature of the power plant exhaust. In one mode of operation, the ORC device 20 is run with all working medium passing through the bypass valve 72, thereby bypassing the turbo-generator 22. In this mode, the valve 66 disposed adjacent and upstream of the turbo-generator 22 is closed. Working medium passing through the bypass valve 72 is expanded by passing through the orifice 73 disposed downstream of the bypass valve 72. This mode enables exhaust temperature suppression if the turbo-generator 22 is inoperable, or if it is desirable to not operate the turbo-generator 22. In a second mode of operation, the bypass valve 72 is closed and the valve 66 upstream of the turbo-generator 22 is open. Consequently, all of the working medium passes through the turbo-generator(s) 22. This mode of operation will accommodate operating conditions where the thermal energy produced by the power plant exhaust is not enough to drive the high-side pressure over the pressure limit of the ORC device 20. In a third mode of operation, the bypass valve 72 and the valve 66 upstream of the turbo-generator 22 are selectively opened/closed enough to create a desire flow rate of working medium through the turbo-generator(s) 22. The bypass valve 72 is adjustable in this mode to enable the operator to create a desired high-side pressure within the ORC device 20.

Although this invention has been shown and described with respect to the detailed embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail thereof may be made without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention.
