In the existing reverse
Carnot cycle heat pump vacuum low-temperature evaporation and concentration system, the heating side of the material (condenser side) generally uses
refrigerant to directly pass into the heat-exchanging parts with the material partition wall. This method has many technical problems: (1) The temperature of the gaseous refrigerant at the outlet of the compressor in the heat pump cycle is very high and fluctuates greatly. If it is directly fed into the heat exchange component, it will cause the material on the evaporation surface at the inlet position of the heat exchange component to undergo instantaneous over-temperature denaturation or excessive evaporation. hot
If the temperature is lowered by adding heat dissipation parts on the outlet pipeline of the compressor, it will not only reduce the available heat for heating the material, but also increase the
power consumption for cooling and heat exchange, and at the same time, the pre-cooling of the gaseous refrigerant itself also has the problem of poor temperature
controllability. The
inlet temperature fluctuation of the refrigerant that exchanges heat with the material increases, and the temperature cannot be accurately controlled; (2) During the
sensible heat cooling process of the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant before condensation and the
sensible heat supercooling process of the liquid refrigerant, the heating tank plate is used Compared with the
plate heat exchanger, the
heat transfer effect of the tube or the inner wall of the sleeve is poor. It is necessary to increase the
heat transfer area of the coil or the sleeve wall, which will occupy the capacity of the material in the evaporation tank, and will also cause the condenser to Increased side resistance or flow rate further increases the
discharge temperature of the compressor
(3) Measures or measures to enhance
heat transfer on the material-liquid side that are suitable for heat-sensitive materials or special waste water and waste liquids are not considered or the measures are not effective, resulting in insufficient thermal driving force for steam overflow inside the material, hindering evaporation and heat transfer, and making the
heating temperature much higher Above the
boiling point, the superheat of the steam is higher, which not only increases the
steam condensation load in the later stage, but also forms more foam due to excessive boiling, which affects the
dryness of the steam, resulting in increased
energy consumption for equipment operation
(4) Since the heat release side of the condensation includes the heat produced by the compressor, in order to maintain the heat and cold balance of the heat pump cycle, the
general practice is to install an
air cooling device in front of the
throttle valve to
discharge this part of the heat (making the heat pump cycle change becomes a
refrigeration cycle), and is used to increase the
subcooling degree before throttling, and this part of heat is not used as heat loss, which reduces the energy efficiency of the system
(5) The refrigerant side of the condenser is at
high pressure, and the material side is at high vacuum. When the two directly exchange heat between the walls, the
pressure difference on both sides of the heat exchange wall is very large. The requirements for materials and
processing are very high, which increases the cost and refrigerant. leakage risk
[0005] The main technical problems of the existing heat pump vacuum low-temperature evaporation and concentration system on the
steam condensation side (
evaporator side) include: (1) The heat exchange efficiency of traditional heat exchange coils or finned tubes is low, causing the
evaporation temperature to be much lower than the
steam condensation temperature , reducing the system energy efficiency
At the same time, when the amount of secondary steam is large, the vacuum degree in the device will not be reduced in time due to the condensation heat exchange, which will increase the
operating energy consumption of the vacuum equipment; As a result, there is no steam contact with the heat exchange components, which deteriorates the working conditions of the
refrigeration cycle. At present, the method of adding auxiliary electric heaters is generally adopted to solve this problem, which further increases the
energy consumption of the system.
(3) The existing technology does not consider the problem of the grade of
heat energy of the ladder, because the temperature of the steam is high, and the
temperature gradient between the
condensation temperature of the steam and the
evaporation temperature of the refrigerant is very large, and the
cascade condensation cannot be realized by relying on a single refrigerant cooling method, which reduces the system temperature. (4) The existing heat pump vacuum low-temperature evaporation and concentration technology does not fully consider the use of high-efficiency secondary steam condensation heat exchange, which makes the
evaporation temperature low, resulting in low energy efficiency of the heat pump cycle system
