[0025] Example 1
[0026] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,
[0027] A whole straight combustion generator and condenser structure, comprising a straight combustion generator furnace 1, a straight combustion generator convection heat exchange part 2, an underwater staggered hole plate 3, a heat insulation layer 4, a condenser water tray 5, a liquid blocking grid plate 6, a straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7, a condenser heat transfer pipe bundle 8 and an elastic expansion joint 9.
[0028] The straight combustion generator furnace 1 and the straight combustion generator convection heat exchange part 2 are connected, covered by the straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7, and the lithium bromide solution is between the inside of the straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7 and the straight combustion generator furnace 1 and the straight combustion generator convection heat exchange part 2.
[0029] The natural gas or fuel is combusted in the straight combustion generator furnace 1, the produced flame and high temperature flue gas mainly transfers heat to the outside lithium bromide solution in the form of heat radiation, the reduced temperature flue gas continues to enter the straight combustion generator convection heat exchange component 2, the heat is transferred to the outside lithium bromide solution mainly through the tube bundle and shell of the straight combustion generator convection heat exchange component 2 in the form of convection heat exchange, the flue gas is discharged after being reduced to the design temperature, and meanwhile the released heat is used for the concentration process of the lithium bromide solution.
[0030] The heat exchange tubes in the straight combustion generator convection heat exchange component 2 are arranged vertically, the flue gas flows outside the heat exchange tubes, and the solution flows inside the heat exchange tubes.
[0031] The underwater staggered orifice plate 3, the condenser water tray 5 and the condenser heat transfer tube bundle 8 are sequentially placed from low to high above the straight combustion generator convection heat exchange component 2 and above the liquid level of the lithium bromide solution.
[0032] The liquid blocking grid plate 6 is located between the outside of the condenser water tray 5 and the inside of the straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7 and is divided into two parts from left to right, which is equal in length to the straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7, thereby increasing the flow area of the refrigerant vapor at the liquid blocking grid plate 6 and reducing the vapor flow rate at the position of the liquid blocking grid plate 6, which is more conducive to blocking the lithium bromide droplets in the refrigerant vapor and reducing the gas-liquid separation height.
[0033] The underwater staggered orifice plate 3 is about 50 mm higher than the lithium bromide solution liquid level height above the straight combustion generator convection heat exchange component 2 which needs to be controlled, and its function is to stabilize the liquid level of the lithium bromide solution in the straight combustion generator, control the boiling intensity, reduce the amount of lithium bromide droplets carried in the refrigerant vapor, thereby reducing the gas-liquid separation height between the liquid blocking grid plate 6 and the underwater staggered orifice plate 3, and thereby reducing the height of the integral straight combustion generator and condenser.
[0034] The condenser heat transfer tube bundle 8 is located inside the condenser water tray 5, the tube bundle inside flows through the heat network water, the refrigerant vapor produced by condensing the concentrated solution of the straight combustion generator is condensed outside the tube bundle, releases heat to the heat network water flowing inside the tube bundle and makes it warm, and the condensed refrigerant water enters the condenser water tray 5 and is discharged through the refrigerant outlet pipe.
[0035] The condenser heat transfer tube bundle 8 extends out of the straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7, the opening size at the position extending out of the straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7 is greater than the tube arrangement range of the condenser heat transfer tube bundle 8, both ends of which are fixed on the tube plate 10, and a shell is also connected between the tube plate 10 and the straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7, which is in communication with the inside of the straight combustion generator-condenser shell 7, thereby forming a vacuum space.
[0036] Since the lower part of the direct-fired generator-condenser shell 7 is in contact with the lithium bromide solution, its temperature is close to the solution temperature, belonging to the high-temperature side, and the upper part is in contact with the refrigerant vapor, belonging to the low-temperature side, especially the temperature of the connecting pipe between the direct-fired generator-condenser shell 7 and the tube sheet of the condenser heat transfer pipe bundle 8 is closer to the temperature of the hot network water in the pipe bundle, and the temperature difference can be more than 60℃ or above. Due to the different thermal expansion amounts caused by the temperature difference, in order to reduce the influence of the different thermal expansion amounts on the thermal stress of the condenser heat transfer pipe bundle 8 and the direct-fired generator-condenser shell 7, an elastic expansion piece 9 is installed in the connecting pipe between the direct-fired generator-condenser shell 7 and the tube sheet of the condenser heat transfer pipe bundle 8.
[0037] Since the condenser water pan 5 is located above the direct-fired generator, in order to reduce the energy efficiency of the unit caused by the refrigerant vapor generated by the concentrated solution directly transferring part of the heat to the refrigerant water condensed in the condenser through the condenser water pan 5, a heat insulation layer 4 is arranged at the bottom of the condenser water pan 5. The heat insulation layer 4 is a thin steel plate with a thickness of 1-2mm, which is folded and buckled at the bottom of the condenser water pan 5.
[0038] Compared with the traditional direct-fired generator and condenser structure, the integrated direct-fired generator and condenser structure provided by the utility model sinks the condenser water pan and the heat transfer pipe into the direct-fired generator cylinder, installs the liquid blocking grid plate in the middle of the inner side of the direct-fired generator side shell and the outer side of the condenser water pan, fully utilizes the space from the liquid surface in the direct-fired generator to the upper part of the shell, and compared with the conventional way, the length of the liquid blocking grid plate is equal to the length of the direct-fired generator shell and can be arranged on the left and right sides, so that the area of the liquid blocking grid plate for condensing vapor flow is increased, the speed and resistance of the refrigerant vapor when flowing through the liquid blocking grid plate are reduced, and the liquid blocking and the prevention of refrigerant pollution are more favorable. In addition, the underwater staggered hole plate arranged at the upper part of the lithium bromide solution liquid surface of the direct-fired generator can stabilize the boiling liquid surface, reduce the number of lithium bromide droplets carried by the refrigerant vapor, and also be favorable for reducing the gas-liquid separation height and the overall height of the direct-fired generator-condenser. On the other hand, this integrated structure form saves the condenser shell and the steam drum, reduces the material and production cost, and reduces the unit height and width. The direct-fired generator and the condenser part can be integrally transported, hoisted and placed, and the transportation and installation cost is further reduced.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, and not to limit them; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
