The electrical control box is electrically connected to the high-temperature heat pump system, the digital scroll variable-load dehumidification system, the waste heat recovery system, the electrical control box 16, the first temperature sensor 17, and the second temperature sensor 18. The electrical control box 16, while equipped with a controller and regulator for controlling all components, may also be equipped with an overload protection circuit and an alarm module connected to the controller to generate an alarm to alert the user if it is not functioning properly.
[0018] The precooler 1 in this embodiment is connected to the oven 10, and the precooler 1, the first-level evaporator 2, the second-level evaporator 3, the reheater 4, the first-level condenser 5, the second-level condenser 6 and the oven 10 are connected in sequence through an exhaust gas pipeline to form a circulation loop.

A drain port is provided at the bottom of the water collection tray 20 for discharging the condensed water.
[0020] In this embodiment, independent gas and liquid connecting pipes 11 and 12 are provided between the precooler 1 and the reheater 4. The precooler 1, gas connecting pipe 11, reheater 4, and liquid connecting pipe 12 are sequentially connected to form a circulation loop. A portion of the vaporized working fluid in the precooler 1 enters the reheater 4 through the gas connecting pipe 11. The gas entering the heat pipe of the reheater 4 liquefies and then flows back to the precooler 1 through the liquid connecting pipe 12. Because the air temperature in the precooler 1 is significantly higher than that in the reheater 4, as the air flows through the precooler 1, the working fluid in the heat pipe changes from liquid to gas, increasing its pressure. The working fluid is then transported to the reheater 4 through the gas connecting pipe 11. After the cooler air flows through the reheater 4, the working fluid condenses within the reheater 4, reducing its temperature and pressure, and then flows back to the precooler 1 along the liquid connecting pipe 12. This forms a closed energy cycle, achieving system precooling and reheating through waste heat recovery without consuming external energy.

[0023] The working principle and use method of a thermal energy isenthalpic closed cycle variable load control system of the present invention include the following:
[0024] 1) Closed energy cycle: During the drying process in the drying oven 10, water vapor enters the precooler 1 along with the hot air driven by the circulating fan 19. After being precooled by the precooler 1, the temperature is reduced, and then the air flows through the primary evaporator 2 and the secondary evaporator 3 to further reduce the temperature, and the moisture in the air condenses out. The condensed water is collected by the water collection tray 20 and discharged through the drain outlet; the air after passing through the primary evaporator 2 and the secondary evaporator 3 flows through the reheater 4, and the temperature is increased. At the same time, the heat in the air entering the primary evaporator 2 and the secondary evaporator 3 is used to heat the cold air in the primary evaporator 2 and the secondary evaporator 3, realizing a closed energy cycle and reducing the relative humidity; thereafter, the air flows through the primary condenser 5 and the secondary condenser 6, and the air temperature is increased to the temperature required for drying, and the relative humidity is very low, and then the air enters the drying oven 10 again, realizing moisture removal without heat removal, and a closed energy cycle.
[0025] 2) Waste heat recovery: Water vapor enters the precooler 1 along with the hot air driven by the circulating fan 19. After passing through the precooler 1, the air temperature drops and approaches the saturation state of the air. At this time, the air passes through the first evaporator 2 and the second evaporator 3, and the air temperature drops further. Most of the water in the air is condensed, the absolute humidity drops, and the relative humidity is very high, reaching the saturation state; the air circulates further and passes through the reheater 4, and the temperature rises. At this time, the absolute humidity of the air remains unchanged, and the relative humidity drops significantly, thereby achieving the required The temperature and humidity requirements are met; since the air temperature of the precooler 1 is significantly higher than that of the reheater 4, when the air flows through the precooler 1, the heat pipe working medium in the pipe changes from liquid to gas, the pressure rises, and is transported to the reheater 4 through the gas pipe connecting pipe 11; after the lower temperature air flows through the reheater 4, the heat pipe working medium condenses in the reheater 4, the temperature and pressure decrease, and it flows back to the precooler 1 along the liquid pipe connecting pipe 12; this forms a closed energy cycle, and through waste heat recovery, the system precooling and reheating can be achieved without consuming external energy.
[0026] 3) Digital variable load dehumidification: When the air passes through the secondary evaporator 3, it will condense into condensed water when it encounters cold. The condensed water is collected by the water accumulation tray 20 and discharged through the drain outlet. The low-temperature dry air after cooling and dehumidification then flows into the digital scroll compressor 14. The digital scroll compressor 14 compresses the low-temperature dry air into high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the primary condenser 5, and is heated by the primary condenser 5 to form a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The high-temperature and high-pressure liquid is reduced in pressure by the second expansion valve 13 and enters the secondary evaporator 3. In this cycle, the condensed water is continuously discharged, and the air humidity is continuously reduced.
[0027] Step 4) High-temperature heat pump heating: When the air passes through the first-stage evaporator 2, it will condense into condensed water when it encounters cold. The condensed water is collected by the water collection tray 20 and discharged through the drain outlet. The low-temperature dry air after cooling and dehumidification then flows into the compressor 7. The compressor 7 compresses the low-temperature dry air into high-temperature and high-pressure gas and blows out hot air, thereby increasing the air temperature and achieving a heating effect; the high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the secondary condenser 6, and is heated by the secondary condenser 6 to form a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The high-temperature and high-pressure liquid enters the liquid reservoir 9, and is then reduced in pressure by the first expansion valve 8 and enters the first evaporator 2. It evaporates and vaporizes to absorb heat and becomes gas. The gas enters the compressor 7 again for compression, and the next cycle begins.
