Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air compressor waste heat and pressure recovery, and particularly relates to an energy-saving system and method for improving the cooling tower capacity by using air compressor waste heat and pressure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The air compressor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy through its mechanical operation structure, and the mechanical energy is converted into air potential energy to provide air power. In this process, only 15% of the energy is converted into air potential energy needed for production work, and about 80% of the energy is converted into heat. This part of heat is usually discharged by using cooling circulating water, and is not effectively utilized, resulting in a large energy waste phenomenon. The common air compressor waste heat recovery method on the market is usually to recover the air compressor waste heat to produce hot water, but many times it is difficult to find a suitable heat utilization scene. At the same time, the multi-stage air compressor usually sets an intermediate cooler to cool each stage of exhaust gas by using circulating water to reduce the suction temperature of the next stage, which can improve the compression efficiency of each stage. The more heat carried away by the circulating water, the closer to isothermal compression, the higher the compression efficiency of the air compressor, and the lower the energy consumption. Studies have shown that for every 1℃ increase in the suction temperature of the air compressor, the power consumption for producing 1m3 of compressed air will increase by 0.295%. Therefore, the air compressor waste heat is used to reduce the circulating water temperature entering the intermediate cooler to reduce the exhaust temperature and humidity of each stage of the air compressor.

[0003] In addition, due to unreasonable air compressor settings, unstable and discontinuous actual gas consumption, and other reasons, many enterprises' air compressors have the phenomenon of frequent unloading and venting, resulting in a large amount of compressed air being wasted, causing a lot of energy waste, and there are few methods for recycling the compressed air vented by the air compressor on the market.

[0004] On the other hand, the air compressor circulating cooling water system bears the important role of transferring a large amount of waste heat generated by the air compressor to the natural environment in time to ensure the normal operation of the air compressor, but also has the phenomenon of high energy consumption. The stronger the cooling capacity of the cooling tower, the lower the cooling tower outlet water temperature, which can reduce the circulating cooling water flow required by the air compressor or reduce the cooling time, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the circulating cooling water system.

[0005] The cooling tower mainly utilizes the direct or indirect contact of air and water to take away heat through water evaporation, so the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower is greatly affected by the ambient wet-bulb temperature. The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that water can reach through evaporation under the natural environment of a certain place, and this temperature is also the limit temperature value of the cooling of the cooling tower, that is, the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower will not be lower than the ambient wet-bulb temperature under normal circumstances. Therefore, reducing the wet-bulb temperature of the air entering the cooling tower can effectively reduce the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower. At the same time, the water is sprayed from top to bottom to exchange heat with air, and the size of the water droplets also has an important influence on the cooling effect of the cooling tower. The smaller the water droplets, the larger the air-water contact area, the more sufficient the heat exchange with air, and the stronger the cooling capacity of the cooling tower.

[0006] In the prior art, the waste heat of the air compressor is not effectively recycled, the energy is wasted due to frequent unloading and venting of the air compressor, and the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower is limited by the ambient wet-bulb temperature. SUMMARY

[0017] The application further provides an energy-saving method for improving the cooling capacity of a cooling tower by using the waste heat and pressure of an air compressor, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S2, the high-temperature compressed air generated after the first-stage compression, the second-stage compression and the third-stage compression of the air compressor enters a first-stage heat extractor, a second-stage heat extractor and a third-stage heat extractor in sequence, respectively, exchanges heat with another path of circulating cooling water pumped from the cooling tower through a circulating water pump in the heat exchanger, transmits heat to the circulating cooling water, reduces the exhaust temperature of the air compressor, and absorbs heat to become hot water;
