[0074] The outlet of the first gas-liquid separator 20 is connected to the second heat exchanger 11 and the condensate storage tank 30, respectively.

[0075] The refrigeration unit is connected to the second heat exchanger 11.

[0076] The outlet end of the second heat exchanger 11 is connected to the condensate storage tank 30.

[0077] The medium to be processed enters the first heat exchanger 10 for heat exchange, and then enters the first gas-liquid separator 20 for gas-liquid separation. The separated liquid medium to be recovered flows into the condensate storage tank 30, and the separated medium to be processed flows into the second heat exchanger 11.

[0078] The medium to be processed enters the refrigeration unit to generate cold energy. The cold energy exchanges heat with the medium to be processed in the second heat exchanger 11. The condensed medium to be recovered flows into the recovery unit.

[0079] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation of a heat exchange unit and a recovery unit. By setting up a first heat exchanger 10, a second heat exchanger 11, a first gas-liquid separator 20 and a condensate storage tank 30, the recovery of the medium to be processed is achieved.

[0080] In a possible implementation, the medium to be processed is heat-exchanged by the first heat exchanger 10 and then enters the first gas-liquid separator 20 for gas-liquid separation. The medium to be recovered flows into the condensate storage tank 30 by its own weight.

[0081] In a possible implementation, the conveying unit delivers the medium to be processed to the refrigeration unit through another channel, so as to provide power for the refrigeration unit to generate cooling capacity using the medium to be processed. After the refrigeration unit provides cooling capacity, it is delivered to the second heat exchanger 11. The gas separation medium separated in the first gas-liquid separator 20 enters the second heat exchanger 11. After the gas separation medium exchanges heat with the cooling capacity, it is separated into gas and liquid again. The liquid medium to be processed flows into the condensate storage tank 30.

[0090] The cold end 42 is connected to the second heat exchanger 11.

[0091] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation of a refrigeration unit. By setting up a combustion chamber 40, a portion of the medium to be processed is burned in the combustion chamber 40. The high-temperature heat energy generated by the combustion is transferred to the hot end 41, and the heat energy of the hot end 41 drives the cold end 42 to refrigerate. The cooling capacity of the cold end 42 is exchanged with the medium to be processed through the second heat exchanger 11, thereby condensing and liquefying the medium to be processed.

[0092] In a possible implementation, to avoid additional power consumption, the refrigeration unit includes a refrigerant that drives the refrigeration unit by burning the high-temperature heat energy of the medium to be processed.

[0093] In a possible implementation, helium is used as the refrigerant. It should be noted that the existing mechanical condensation recovery technology has a high refrigeration temperature, which is difficult to meet the increasingly stringent VOCs emission requirements. In order to obtain a lower refrigeration temperature, a multi-stage cascade structure needs to be designed.

[0107] The medium to be processed after gas-liquid separation in the second gas-liquid separator 21 enters the first heat exchanger 10 and exchanges heat with the medium to be processed flowing from the conveying unit.

[0108] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation of a second gas-liquid separator 21. The medium to be processed after passing through the second gas-liquid separator 21 still carries a certain amount of cold energy.

[0110] In this process, the gas-liquid separated medium exchanges heat with the flowing medium in the first heat exchanger 10, and then flows back to the refrigeration unit through the regulation of the first valve body 50, so as to generate cooling capacity for the refrigeration unit.

[0111] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation of a first valve body 50. By setting the first valve body 50, the medium to be processed after heat exchange in the first heat exchanger 10 is transported to the combustion chamber 40 of the refrigeration unit, thereby realizing the energy supply for refrigeration of the refrigeration unit.

[0112] In a possible implementation, the first valve body 50 is a flow regulating valve, which can regulate the flow rate between the first heat exchanger 10 and the refrigeration unit.

[0117] In a possible implementation, the second valve body 60 is a flow regulating valve, which can regulate the flow rate between the second heat exchanger 11 and the external environment.

[0118] In a possible implementation, the second valve body 60 includes at least three adjustment positions, wherein the first adjustment position corresponds to a flow rate of 0 for the medium to be processed, the second adjustment position corresponds to a flow rate of the maximum for the medium to be processed, and the third adjustment position corresponds to a flow rate of the medium to be processed that is between 0 and the maximum value.

[0119] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the recovery unit further includes a third valve body 70 and a drain pump 80.

[0122] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for a recycling unit. The setting of the drain pump 80 enables the transportation of part of the medium to be recycled in the condensate storage tank 30 to the refrigeration unit, which then provides cooling capacity to the refrigeration unit after combustion, thereby cooling and condensing the medium to be treated and achieving zero discharge of the medium to be treated.

[0123] It should be noted that after recovering the cold energy, the purified gas that meets the emission concentration requirements is used to dilute the incoming medium to be treated, and then they enter the combustion chamber 40 together for combustion, which can achieve zero VOCs emissions in the recovery process.

[0126] In a possible implementation, the liquid VOCs collected by the condensate collection tank 10 can be controlled and regulated by the third valve body 70 to enter the combustion chamber 40 according to the fuel requirements of the combustion chamber 40, so as to supply energy to the combustion chamber 40.

[0127] In one possible implementation, the liquid VOCs collected in the condensate storage tank 30 are transported to the plant area by the drain pump 80 for reprocessing.

[0128] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the conveying unit includes a fourth valve body 90 and a fifth valve body 100.

[0129] The fourth valve body 90 is installed on the pipeline that supplies the medium to be processed to the heat exchange unit.

[0130] The fifth valve body 100 is installed on the pipeline that supplies the medium to be processed to the refrigeration unit.

[0132] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for a conveying unit. By setting a fourth valve body 90 and a fifth valve body 100, the flow rate of the medium to be processed conveyed by the conveying unit is adjusted so that the flow rate of the medium to be processed entering the combustion chamber 40 matches the flow rate of the medium to be processed for condensation recovery.
