DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment includes a hot water energy-saving system of a direct-heating thermal energy grade-grading heat exchange module, which is composed of a direct-heating thermal energy grade-grading heat exchange module and a hot water energy-saving system. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0019] Primary side heat source working process: The primary side heat source (such as industrial high temperature wastewater) is divided into two routes (Note: multiple routes or single routes are also possible, multiple routes are used when the primary side water flow is large, and single routes are used when the primary side water flow is small) from the primary side heat source liquid distribution pipe 4 into the primary side casing branch pipe 16, and the primary side casing branch pipe 16 is covered with a secondary side casing branch pipe 17, where the heat of the primary and secondary side water sources is fully exchanged, and the primary side water source is collected through the primary side heat source collecting pipe 15 and discharged from the primary side heat source water outlet main pipe 18, and the primary side water source working process is completed. Since the water flowing in the secondary side casing branch pipe 17 that exchanges heat with the primary side is the water source in the low temperature water tank 10 divided by the thermal energy grade, the temperature difference of the primary side water source is large, and the heat energy exchange efficiency is significantly increased;

[0020] The secondary water source workflow is divided into the following three steps:

[0021] First, low-grade heat energy recovery: low-temperature water (water temperature ≥ tap water temperature) in the low-temperature water tank 10 is supplied to the secondary side water source through the secondary side hot water distribution pipe 14 to the secondary side casing branch pipe 17 via the variable flow water supply pump 11, and undergoes the first heat exchange with the primary side heat source embedded in the primary side casing branch pipe 16, and then flows into the low-temperature water tank 10 after being collected through the secondary side low-grade liquid collecting pipe 3. This water tank is the basic heat energy recovery water tank, and its purpose is to recover the low-grade heat energy in the primary side heat source to the greatest extent. The flow rate of the variable flow water supply pump 11 is controlled by the pressure provided by the return water pressure transmitter 22, thereby realizing constant pressure water supply of the secondary side water source, thereby ensuring the stability of heat exchange;

[0022] Second, medium-grade heat recovery: pre-set a medium-grade heat energy limit temperature of T℃,

[0023] T1≤T≤T2, detected by temperature sensor Ⅱ7, the measured signal is sent to proportional integral flow distributor Ⅱ8 to linearly adjust the flow of secondary water source, so as to ensure that the temperature of the recovered medium-grade heat energy is within the temperature range of T1 to T2℃, and then flows into the medium-temperature water tank 12 through the secondary side medium-grade liquid collecting pipe 2. The water tank is a semi-finished water tank. The semi-finished water source is heated into finished water by adding a small amount of heat energy through the auxiliary heating system 21, and then sent to the finished water tank 13, so as to reduce the production cost of directly heating the low-grade heat source into finished water;

[0024] Third, heat energy recovery of high-grade finished hot water: the defined temperature of high-grade finished hot water is pre-set as T>T3℃, which is detected by temperature sensor Ⅰ5, and the measured signal is sent to proportional integral flow distributor Ⅰ6 for flow regulation of secondary water source to ensure that the temperature of high-grade finished hot water is greater than T3℃. After passing through the secondary high-grade liquid collecting pipe 1, it flows into the high-temperature finished water tank 13. This water tank is a finished water tank, and the internal water source does not need any heating and is directly used by users, thereby providing users with finished hot water free of charge, with obvious energy-saving effect.

[0025] Through the above specific implementation, the present invention forms three-stage water output of high temperature, medium temperature and low temperature. The water source in the low temperature zone recovers heat energy to the maximum extent, the users in the medium temperature zone continue to absorb heat on the basis of the low temperature zone, and adopts auxiliary heating method to obtain user finished water at low cost, and the high temperature zone directly provides finished hot water for users free of charge.

[0026] The present invention adopts a three-stage cascade heat exchange method and a large temperature difference one-time heat exchange, which solves the problems of low-quality high-grade heat, high hot water production and low heat exchange efficiency caused by the traditional circulation heat exchange method, and ensures that users can directly obtain the required hot water in the most economical way. At the same time, it greatly reduces the heat exchange time and improves the heat exchange efficiency. It can be widely used in the fields of waste heat recovery and hot water energy saving.

[0027] The above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. As long as the changes, modifications, additions or substitutions are made within the essential scope of the present invention, so as to achieve the technical effects of the present invention, they should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
