Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low-grade waste heat conversion, and in particular to a compression-type high-temperature heat pump system with energy storage and enthalpy replenishment, which can realize expansion work recovery and improve system heating efficiency through mode switching. By setting a heat accumulator and an ejector, effective recovery of expansion work is achieved, avoiding a large amount of irreversible thermodynamic energy loss generated in a traditional expansion valve. The heat pump system can realize two modes of supercooling energy storage and energy release and enthalpy replenishment through the switch control of a three-way valve. Both modes can effectively utilize the thermal energy and pressure energy of the working fluid at the outlet of the condenser to achieve thermal quality conversion of a large amount of low-grade waste heat. Background Art

[0002] In the industrial production process, a large amount of primary energy is used in the industrial production process system in the form of heat energy generated by fuel combustion. However, the existing industrial production process cannot completely convert the heat of combustion into the required energy, and most of the available heat is discharged into the environment in various forms, causing thermal pollution and energy waste. The energy utilization efficiency in the process production process can be effectively improved by recycling low-grade industrial waste heat. Common waste heat utilization methods include heat-to-work conversion, heat-to-cold conversion, and heat-to-grade conversion. Among them, heat-to-work conversion is difficult to effectively convert into electrical energy when using low-grade waste heat at 150°C, and the operating efficiency of heat-to-cold conversion driven by low-grade waste heat is not high. Therefore, using heat pump technology to improve the thermal grade of low-temperature waste heat is an effective way to efficiently utilize a large amount of industrial waste heat. Improve the energy efficiency of industrial processes by converting or upgrading heat energy that would otherwise be wasted. Compression heat pumps can be used to upgrade industrial waste heat at lower temperatures, and some electricity needs to be consumed to achieve the quality improvement of a large amount of waste heat. In order to minimize the consumption of high-grade electricity, the layout of heat pump systems with high operating performance needs to be further studied.

[0003] At lower waste heat temperatures, traditional single-stage compression systems have the disadvantages of high compression ratio, high exhaust temperature and large compression power. Therefore, many scholars have proposed many improved systems, including quasi-two-stage compression heat pump systems, multi-stage compression heat pump systems and cascade heat pump systems, based on the single-stage compression system. The optimization idea of ​​these systems is to reduce the compression ratio of a single compressor as much as possible and make the compression process approach constant temperature compression. Among them, compared with other systems, the air replenishment enthalpy increase system uses only one compressor to achieve a reduction in exhaust temperature and compression power consumption, and has a lower investment cost. In addition, the air replenishment of the compressor can increase the working fluid flow rate of the system to a certain extent, while increasing the heating capacity of the system; the adjustability of the air replenishment mass flow rate increases the flexibility of compressor control, making system adjustment more convenient.

[0004] Compared with the ideal reverse Carnot cycle, the traditional steam compression heat pump uses an expansion valve as an expansion device, resulting in a large amount of irreversible thermodynamic energy loss. Ordinary quasi-two-stage compression systems usually use flash tanks or subcoolers as key equipment to achieve air replenishment and enthalpy increase, but the air replenishment mass flow rate generated by this method is quite limited. Therefore, some scholars use exhaust gas with a higher waste heat temperature than the evaporator side to increase the mass flow rate of compressor air replenishment, which can significantly enhance the system performance. The thermodynamic principle of this performance enhancement method is to increase the average temperature of the system. However, in practical applications, additional waste heat input at different temperatures is usually difficult to meet. Therefore, how to greatly reduce high-grade compression work and improve the system's thermal grade conversion efficiency under the condition of a single waste heat source is an important problem to be solved.

[0005] China Invention Publication Patent CN118408296A discloses "a heat pump circulation system with an intermediate air injection ejector and a control method thereof. The technical solution uses a solar collector to collect solar heat, increases the mass flow of the air injection enthalpy increase branch, and enables more working fluids to avoid the process of expansion and then compression, and the system performance is effectively improved. In the process of industrial waste heat recovery, the actual process does not necessarily have two temperatures of waste heat sources, and the operation scenario of the dual-temperature waste heat source limits the application of the system.

[0006] China's invention patent CN109931721A discloses "a heat pump system based on solar thermal storage, defrosting, air replenishment and enthalpy increase". The system has two operating modes, namely thermal storage mode and defrost mode. In thermal storage mode, the heat energy of the solar sub-cycle and the working fluid at the condenser outlet is used to store solar energy and supercooled heat energy in the thermal storage device; in defrost mode, the heat in the thermal storage device is used for defrosting, ensuring the normal heating of the system. The system realizes thermal storage defrosting in low temperature scenarios, but the operating scenario of its dual-temperature waste heat source also limits the application of the system. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention introduces a heat accumulator into an injection-compression heat pump system, and constructs a compression-type high-temperature heat pump system with energy storage and enthalpy compensation through reasonable heat storage and heat release mode design. The system can effectively utilize the heat energy and pressure energy of the working fluid at the outlet of the condenser, and reduce the irreversible thermodynamic energy loss existing in the cyclic expansion process of the traditional heat pump. The system can operate in two modes, namely, a supercooling energy storage mode and an energy release and enthalpy compensation mode. In the supercooling energy storage mode, the system stores the supercooled heat released by the working fluid. The supercooled working fluid enters the evaporator side through the gas-liquid separator to absorb heat, thereby increasing the heating capacity of the system. In the energy release and enthalpy compensation mode, the working fluid at the outlet of the condenser first releases heat in the intermediate heat exchanger, and then absorbs the heat of the heat accumulator after the expansion valve reduces the pressure to become enthalpy compensation steam. In this mode, the exhaust temperature of the system compressor decreases and the compression power consumption decreases, and it has excellent heating performance. The system of the present invention can effectively solve the problem of excessive consumption of high-grade electric energy in the compression heat pump during the process of improving the quality of low-temperature waste heat. In the process of upgrading the quality of low-temperature industrial waste heat, the system has the characteristics of high economic effect and environmental friendliness.

[0024] Compared with the existing quasi-two-stage compression heat pump system, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0025] The system of the present invention can achieve the effect of mode switching, energy storage and enthalpy compensation efficiency enhancement, and can use the expansion work recovered in the supercooling energy storage mode to increase the air replenishment volume in the energy release and enthalpy compensation mode. In addition, the thermal energy and pressure energy of the working fluid at the condenser outlet in the energy release and enthalpy compensation mode can be utilized through the intermediate heat exchanger and the enthalpy compensation compressor. Compared with the traditional quasi-two-stage compression heat pump, the presence of the heat accumulator enhances the overall operating performance of the system.

Different operating modes are switched at different operating stages to improve the waste heat conversion efficiency of the heat pump system. Compared with the traditional quasi-two-stage compression heat pump, the system of the present invention has the characteristics of reasonable system layout, flexible operating mode, sufficient green energy saving and good stable heating.

[0028] The present invention uses the heat at the condenser outlet to improve the system enthalpy compensation performance in a self-enhanced manner. Compared with existing solutions, the system proposed in the present invention has a wider application scenario and is not limited by the number of waste heat sources in actual scenarios. At the same time, the system performance is improved without increasing the complexity of the system.

[0029] Using the ejector as an expansion device in the heat pump system can reduce the loss of expansion work and improve the heating efficiency of the system. As a static component, the ejector has the characteristics of simple structure, low cost, safety and reliability. The recovered expansion work can be used to increase the pressure of the compressor inlet fluid and reduce the power consumption of the compressor. Using the ejector in a quasi-two-stage compression heat pump system can minimize the high-grade compression work consumption. This combined method has significant advantages in improving the quality of low-temperature waste heat.

[0030] The present invention utilizes the heat storage device to recover the heat at the condenser outlet and utilizes the ejector to recover the expansion work of part of the working fluid, thereby further improving the performance. In addition, in the field of industrial heat recovery, the present invention utilizes the heat storage and air replenishment enthalpy increase technology to effectively overcome the problem of excessively high exhaust temperature of the compressor and overheating of the compressor.

[0042] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a supercooling energy storage mode of a compression high-temperature heat pump system with energy storage and enthalpy supplement proposed by the present invention. In the supercooling energy storage stage, the outlet of the compressor 1 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 2. The outlet fluid of the condenser 2 is divided into two paths after passing through the first three-way valve 3. One path enters the working nozzle of the ejector 4 to complete the pressure reduction and speed increase, and then injects the fluid at the outlet of the evaporator 7 into the ejector 4. The two are mixed in the mixing chamber of the ejector 4. The other path enters the heat accumulator 9 through the second three-way valve 8 for supercooling heat storage. The outlet of the heat accumulator 9 is connected to the inlet of the first expansion valve 10, and the outlet of the first expansion valve 10 is connected to one of the inlets of the gas-liquid separator 5. The outlet of the ejector 4 is connected to the other inlet of the gas-liquid separator 5; the gas phase outlet of the gas-liquid separator 5 is connected to the intermediate heat exchanger 11; the outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 11 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 1.

[0043] In the supercooling energy storage stage of the heat accumulator, the working fluid is boosted by the compressor 1 and enters the condenser 2 to release heat and condense. After the condensed working fluid in the condenser 2 is split by the first three-way valve 3, one path enters the working nozzle (primary nozzle) of the ejector 4 to complete the pressure reduction and speed increase, and then the outlet fluid of the evaporator 7 is injected into the ejector 4. The two are mixed in the mixing chamber in the ejector 4. The mixed fluid is boosted by the diffuser section in the ejector 4 and enters the gas-liquid separator 5; the other path enters the heat accumulator 9 to supercool and release heat, and the released heat is stored in the heat accumulator 9. The working fluid that is supercooled and releases heat in the heat accumulator 9 enters the first expansion valve 10 to expand and reduce pressure, and the depressurized working fluid enters the gas-liquid separator 5 to mix with the outlet fluid of the ejector 4. The gas phase fluid in the gas-liquid separator 5 enters the intermediate heat exchanger 11 to absorb heat and become superheated steam, and the superheated steam enters the compressor 1 to complete the compression process; the liquid phase fluid enters the second expansion valve 6 to expand and reduce the pressure, and then enters the evaporator 7 to absorb heat and evaporate, and finally is ejected by the primary flow in the working nozzle of the ejector 4 into the ejection chamber of the ejector 4.

[0044] The heat accumulator 9 can store the supercooled heat of the working fluid at the outlet of the condenser 2, and the working fluid cooled to a certain temperature enters the gas-liquid separator 5 after being depressurized by the first expansion valve 10. In the supercooled energy storage mode, the energy stored in the heat accumulator 9 is part of the expansion work that would otherwise be dissipated.

[0045] The outlet pressure of the ejector 4 is the same as the pressure of the branch working fluid of the heat accumulator 9 after expansion and decompression.

[0046] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the energy release and enthalpy compensation mode of a compression type high temperature heat pump system with energy storage and enthalpy compensation proposed by the present invention. In the stage of energy release and enthalpy compensation of the heat accumulator, the outlet of the compressor 1 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 2. After the heat release in the condenser 2, the working fluid enters the first three-way valve 3 and is divided into two streams, one of which becomes the injection fluid of the ejector 4, and the other enters the intermediate heat exchanger 11 through the second three-way valve 8 to release heat. The working fluid after heat release enters the third expansion valve 12 to reduce the pressure; the outlet of the third expansion valve 12 is connected to the inlet of the heat accumulator 9, and the outlet of the heat accumulator 9 is connected to the air supply port of the compressor 1. The working fluid absorbs the heat in the heat accumulator 9 and enters the air supply port of the compressor 1; the outlet of the ejector 4 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 5, and the gas phase outlet of the gas-liquid separator 5 is connected to the inlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 11. The working fluid absorbs heat in the intermediate heat exchanger 11 and enters the compressor 1. The liquid phase outlet of the gas-liquid separator 5 is connected to the inlet of the second expansion valve 6 , the outlet of the second expansion valve 6 is connected to the evaporator 7 , and the working fluid enters the evaporator 7 after being depressurized by the second expansion valve 6 ; the outlet of the evaporator 7 is connected to the secondary nozzle of the ejector 4 .

[0047] In the stage of releasing energy and replenishing enthalpy in the heat accumulator, the working fluid is compressed and pressurized in the low-pressure chamber of the compressor 1 and mixed with the outlet fluid of the heat accumulator 9. The mixed working fluid is compressed and pressurized in the high-pressure chamber of the compressor 1. The pressurized working fluid enters the condenser 2 to release heat and condense. The condensed working fluid enters the first three-way valve 3 and is divided into two streams. One stream becomes the ejection fluid of the ejector 4. The ejection fluid enters the working nozzle of the ejector 4 to reduce pressure and increase speed. The working fluid after speeding up ejects the working fluid at the outlet of the evaporator 7. The two are mixed in the mixing chamber in the ejector 4. The mixed fluid enters the diffuser section in the ejector 4 to complete the pressure increase. The pressurized working fluid enters the gas-liquid separator 5; the other stream enters the intermediate heat exchanger 11 to release heat. The working fluid after heat release enters the third expansion valve 12 to expand and reduce pressure. The depressurized working fluid absorbs the heat in the heat accumulator 9 and enters the compressor 1 to complete the gas replenishment, which effectively reduces the outlet temperature of the fluid in the compressor 1. The gaseous working medium in the gas-liquid separator 5 enters the intermediate heat exchanger 11 to absorb heat and become superheated steam, and then enters the compressor 1 for compression and pressure increase; the liquid working medium enters the second expansion valve 6 to expand and reduce the pressure, and the working fluid after pressure reduction enters the evaporator 7 to absorb heat and evaporate, and the outlet fluid of the evaporator 7 is ejected by the working fluid in the working nozzle of the ejector 4 and enters the ejection chamber of the ejector 4.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heat storage medium in the heat accumulator 9 is a phase change material. In the energy storage enthalpy compensation mode, the outlet temperature (enthalpy compensation temperature / enthalpy compensation pressure) of the heat accumulator 9 is higher than the inlet temperature of the compressor 1 (the temperature of the superheated steam in the intermediate heat exchanger 11), but lower than the condensation temperature (condensation pressure).

[0049] The intermediate heat exchanger 11 and the reheat compensation compressor 1 recover the expansion work in the energy release and reheat compensation mode, while the heat accumulator 9 increases the mass flow rate of the replenishing gas by using the expansion work recovered in the supercooling heat storage mode, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.

[0050] The presence of the intermediate heat exchanger 11 allows partial diversion of the outlet of the condenser 2, that is, the diversion of the branch where the second three-way valve 8 is located, to achieve subcooling. Compared with the system without subcooling treatment, the expansion after subcooling To make it easier to understand, we can compare the ordinary steam compression heat pump and the steam compression heat pump with an intermediate heat exchanger. In terms of loss, overcooling causes the system to expand The loss has been reduced. The loss can be regarded as the expansion work loss. Therefore, the intermediate heat exchanger 11 realizes the subcooling of the fluid, that is, the recovery of the expansion work; the existence of the air replenishment enthalpy increase technology avoids the process of part of the working fluid undergoing expansion and then compression. Avoiding part of the expansion process, that is, avoiding part of the expansion Loss, expansion here The loss can be regarded as the lost expansion work. Therefore, the compressor 1 recovers the expansion work in this mode; the heat accumulator 9 increases the mass flow of the supplementary air, further increasing the recovered expansion work.

[0051] The compressor 1 is an air-supplementing compressor. When the system is in the energy-releasing and enthalpy-supplementing mode, the air-supplementing channel of the compressor 1 is opened, and the working fluid at the outlet of the heat accumulator 9 serves as the intermediate air-supplementing of the compressor 1; when the system is in the supercooling energy-supplementing mode, the air-supplementing port of the compressor 1 is closed, and the supercooling heat of the fluid at the outlet of the condenser 2 is stored in the heat accumulator 9.

[0052] When the system switches to the energy release and enthalpy compensation mode, the outlet fluid of the heat accumulator 9 can be used as the intermediate air supply of the compressor 1, which can effectively reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor 1 and overcome the problem of excessively high exhaust temperature of the compression type high temperature heat pump. When the system switches to the supercooling energy storage mode, part of the working fluid at the outlet of the condenser 2 enters the heat accumulator 9 for supercooling, and the released heat can be stored in the heat accumulator 9.

[0053] A compression-type high-temperature heat pump system with energy storage and enthalpy supplement proposed in the present invention has ejector efficiency enhancement technology, air supplement enthalpy enhancement technology, energy storage efficiency enhancement technology and mode switching technology as core features, and organically integrates multiple technologies to construct a compression-type high-temperature heat pump system with energy storage and enthalpy supplement, which overcomes the problem of high-grade electric energy consumption in the process of low-temperature waste heat grade upgrading, and further improves the heat grade conversion efficiency of the heat pump for low-temperature waste heat recovery.

[0054] The present invention discloses a compression-type high-temperature heat pump system with energy storage and enthalpy supplementation, which solves the problems of industrial low-temperature waste heat dissipation, large compression ratio of single-stage compression high-temperature heat pumps and high compressor exhaust temperature. On the basis of the injection-compression high-temperature heat pump, a heat accumulator and an air supplement and enthalpy increase branch are added to achieve efficient recovery of low-grade waste heat and effective reduction of compressor exhaust temperature.

[0055] The working fluid at the outlet of condenser 2 is divided into two streams, one of which is used as the ejector fluid of ejector 4 to increase the inlet pressure of compressor 1; the other is used as the high-temperature medium of energy storage / enthalpy replenishment and intermediate heat exchanger to avoid liquid hammer. The two streams at the outlet of condenser 3 utilize two expansion work recovery methods, among which; the other fluid uses part of the expansion work for heat accumulator, intermediate heat exchanger, air replenishment and enthalpy replenishment, and intermediate heat exchanger during supercooling energy storage and energy release and enthalpy replenishment. The design of supercooling energy storage and energy release and enthalpy replenishment effectively reduces the exhaust temperature of the compressor and improves the heating efficiency of the system, with good economic benefits and environmental friendliness.
