DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] This embodiment discloses a lithium bromide unit with waste heat recovery function, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: a hot water system 1, which includes a water heat exchanger, a circulation pump, a control valve and a pipeline system; the specific structure is that a heat exchange box is set at the KPR terminal air duct, a pneumatic valve is set at the inlet and outlet of the box, and an electric control valve is set at the bypass air duct; a system consisting of a circulation pump, an instrument thermal resistor / pressure switch, a control valve, an electric valve, etc. is set near the heat exchanger to achieve stable and continuous output of hot water; an exhaust valve is set at the highest point of the pipeline to exhaust the air in the pipe; a safety valve is set on the hot water outlet side to ensure overpressure relief to ensure the safety of the system; the hot water system and the lithium bromide host signal are interlocked, when the host needs to be shut down for maintenance, the air duct is switched to the bypass mode and then the circulation pump is turned off; among them, the hot water pipeline adopts DN100 seamless pipe and is insulated with 80mm rock wool, which can prevent energy loss and avoid scalding.

[0024] Lithium bromide host 2, hot water system 1 is used to provide heat energy to lithium bromide host 2, the refrigeration power selection of the unit is matched with the heat power of hot water; lithium bromide aqueous solution is only an absorbent, and the water in it is the refrigerant; the purpose of refrigeration is achieved by absorbing heat by evaporating at a low boiling point of water under a high vacuum state; first, the vacuum pump pumps the lithium bromide host 2 to a high vacuum state to ensure that the water boils at an extremely low temperature; since the boiling point pressure of lithium bromide aqueous solution is lower than that of refrigerant water, there is a boiling point difference between the two, so the former has the ability to absorb water vapor, thus providing conditions for the refrigerant water to boil continuously; after the refrigerant water enters the evaporation, The refrigerant pump sprays it on the surface of the heat exchange tube through the replenisher. The refrigerant water absorbs the heat of the cold water in the tube, boils at low temperature to form refrigerant vapor again, and produces low-temperature cold water at the same time; the concentrated solution directly enters the absorber after passing through the heat exchanger, and is sprayed on the absorber heat exchange tube through the replenisher; on the one hand, the concentrated solution absorbs the refrigerant vapor produced by the evaporator and becomes a dilute solution itself; on the other hand, the absorption heat released when absorbing the refrigerant vapor is transferred to the cooling water; the refrigeration cycle is the cycle of the lithium bromide aqueous solution changing from dilute to concentrated and then from concentrated to dilute in the machine, and the refrigerant water changing from liquid to vapor and then from vapor to liquid; the two cycles are carried out simultaneously and repeatedly.

[0025] Cold water system 3, cold water system 3 includes a circulation pump, a control valve, a control instrument, and a piping system; the cold water intake point is set at the return pipe of the cold water network, and enters the lithium bromide main unit through the circulation pump; after the cold water is produced, it is merged into the return pipe of the original network to reduce the system return water temperature of the network, thereby reducing the load of the cold station and achieving energy saving; a flow switch is set at the front end of the water intake point of the network and interlocked with the refrigeration unit and the cold water pump. When there is no flow in the network, the system shuts down; a pressure switch and a pump interlock are set at the water intake point and return point of the power main network to ensure that the inlet and return pressures are equal, thereby ensuring the stability of the original network; the cold water pipeline adopts DN150 galvanized pipe and rubber and plastic insulation to prevent the occurrence of condensed water.

[0026] The cooling water system 4 includes a cooling tower 5, a circulation pump, a control valve and a piping system; the cooling tower 5 is placed outdoors for heat dissipation, and the cooling pipeline adopts a DN250 galvanized pipe and is insulated with rubber and plastic to ensure the stability of the process temperature and the appearance of condensed water.

[0027] like Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, the cooling tower 5 includes a pool 53, a water inlet pipe 510, a lower tower body 52 and an upper tower body 51. The diameter of the upper tower body 51 is smaller than that of the lower tower body 52. ​​A water collector 513 is installed on the top of the upper tower body 51 to reduce the evaporation of water. The recovered water re-enters the pool 53. The lower tower body 52 is fixedly connected to the pool 53, and an air inlet net 59 is provided between the lower tower body 52 and the pool 53. Air enters the interior of the cooling tower 5 through the air inlet net 59. An outlet pipe is provided on the pool 53 to facilitate the discharge of water in the pool 53. An inner tower body 56 is fixedly connected to the interior of the lower tower body 52. ​​The inner tower body 56 is transparent from top to bottom, and the inner tower body 56 has the same diameter as the upper tower body 51. A ventilation duct 57 is formed between the outer wall of the inner tower body 56 and the inner wall of the lower tower body 52. ​​The upper end of the ventilation duct 57 is connected to the interior of the upper tower body 51. The inner tower body 56 The upper tower body 51 is provided with fillers 58, and a shielding assembly 54 is provided between the two fillers 58. The shielding assembly 54 is used to close the lower tower body 52. ​​During operation, when the shielding assembly 54 is opened, a part of the new air flows from the fillers 58 in the lower tower body 52 to the fillers 58 in the upper tower body 51, and the other part of the new air directly enters the fillers 58 in the upper tower body 51 through the ventilation duct 57. Compared with the prior art in which the upper and lower fillers are in contact with each other and no new air enters the fillers in the upper layer, this embodiment is provided with ventilation ducts 57 and shielding assemblies 54, so that new air can enter the fillers 58 in the upper and lower layers, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling tower on water; when the shielding assembly 54 is closed, the lower fillers 58 are in an inoperative state, and only the upper fillers 58 are in an operating state, thereby controlling the cooling temperature and efficiency of the cooling tower.

[0028] Among them, the water inlet pipe 510 is vertically arranged at the center of the cooling tower 5, and the lower end of the water inlet pipe 510 extends to the outside of the cooling tower 5, and the water inlet pipe 510 is connected to a water pump 515 for transporting water to the top of the cooling tower 5, the shielding component 54 is sleeved on the water inlet pipe 510, and a fan 514 is installed above the upper tower body 51 for exhausting air; the upper end of the water inlet pipe 510 is rotatably connected to a water diversion seat 511, the water diversion seat 511 is sealed with the water inlet pipe 510, the water diversion seat 511 is arranged above the filler, and a plurality of sprinkler pipes 512 are evenly fixedly connected to the water diversion seat 511 along its circumference, and a plurality of sprinkler holes are evenly arranged on the side of the sprinkler pipe 512 along its length direction. Since the sprinkler holes are arranged on the side of the sprinkler pipe 512, there will be a reaction force when the sprinkler pipe 512 sprinkles water, which pushes the water diversion seat 511 to rotate, and then the water is evenly sprinkled on the filler 58.

[0029] like Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the shielding assembly 54 includes a connecting pipe 541, which is installed on the surface of the water inlet pipe 510. A pair of threaded sleeves 542 are threadedly connected at both ends of the water inlet pipe 510. A plurality of support frames 543 are evenly fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded sleeve 542 along its circumference, and the support frames 543 are in contact with the surface of the filler 58; the shielding assembly 54 also includes a plurality of shielding plates 55 that can together form a circle. In this embodiment, 8 shielding plates 55 are provided. The shielding plates 55 are in a fan-shaped structure. The shielding plates 55 are rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting pipe 541. The shielding plates 55 are used to drain water dripping from the upper filler 58 into the ventilation duct 57; a rotating rod 552 is fixedly connected to the shielding plate 55, and the rotating rod 552 is rotatably connected to the connecting pipe 541.

When the baffle plate 55 rotates to a horizontal state, the shielding assembly 54 is in a closed state, and the baffle plates 55 together form a circular structure, closing the inner tower body 56. Water droplets from the upper filler 58 fall on the baffle plate 55, and then flow into the pool 53 through the ventilation duct 57; when the baffle plate 55 rotates to a vertical state, the shielding assembly 54 is in an open state, and water dripping from the upper filler 58 flows into the lower filler 58 to continue cooling.

[0030] Preferably, a plurality of water guiding grooves 553 are provided on the surface of the baffle plate 55 to facilitate the drainage of water into the ventilation duct 57, and sealing grooves 554 that cooperate with each other are provided on both sides of the baffle plate 55.
