Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an energy-saving system for utilizing waste heat from combined heat and power (CHP) plants, belonging to the field of waste heat technology. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements, my country has developed numerous waste heat utilization technologies for thermal power plants. Two relatively mature methods are: The first involves upgrading the unit to increase the waste heat temperature, sacrificing some of the steam's power generation, and raising the waste water temperature to around 60 degrees Celsius for direct use in centralized heating. The second method utilizes low-temperature waste heat, currently primarily through heat pump technology. Driven by a portion of electricity or a high-temperature heat transfer medium, the low-temperature waste heat is extracted to a higher temperature for use as chilled water waste heat in the power plant or for heating return water. The first method is not suitable for larger units and has low operating efficiency outside the winter heating season, making it unsuitable for widespread adoption. The second method currently faces challenges due to the small temperature difference between the return water and the power plant's chilled water waste heat, resulting in low return water heat absorption efficiency and inefficient preheating. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Based on the above background, the purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving system for utilizing waste heat from combined heat and power (CHP) to solve the problems described in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] The steam turbine is connected to a heat exchange device via a first heating pipe.
[0006] The first condensing device is connected to the heat exchange device via a first condensing pipe. The first condensing pipe is equipped with a first condensing pipe valve. The first condensing device is connected to the steam turbine via a first return pipe.
[0007] Heat exchange device;
[0008] The first heat pump is connected to the heat exchange device via a regenerative pipe, the regenerative pipe being equipped with a regenerative pipe valve. The first heat pump is connected to the main steam turbine via a first return pipe, the main steam turbine being connected to the first heat pump via a first heating pipe, the first heating pipe passing through the first heat pump and then connected to the first condensing device, the first heating pipe being equipped with a first heating pipe valve.
[0009] The first energy-consuming terminal is connected to the heat exchange device through the first return water pipe, and the heat exchange device is connected to the first energy-consuming terminal through the outlet water pipe. The first return water pipe passes through the first heat pump.

The first heating device is connected to the compression heat pump condenser via a second heating pipe, which also passes through the compression heat pump. The compression heat pump user is connected to the compression condenser via a second condensing pipe, which also passes through the compression heat pump.
[0011] By using a secondary gradient utilization method to reduce the temperature of the heating return water, the temperature difference between the return water and the outlet water of the heat exchange device is increased. This fully utilizes the temperature of the return water, increases the utilization rate of low-quality energy, and increases the utilization of waste heat by increasing the temperature difference between the return water and the outlet water of the heat exchange device. This reduces the energy consumption for reheating the return water, lowers costs, and meets the requirements of environmental protection and energy conservation.
[0012] Preferably, the combined heat and power (CHP) waste heat utilization energy-saving system further includes a second energy-consuming terminal, a flue gas heating device, a second heat pump, and a second condensing device.

[0014] Preferably, the second heat pump is further equipped with a second heating device, which is connected to the second condensing device via a third heating pipe that passes through the second heat pump. Due to the uncertainty of the turbine return water direction and the fluctuation of flue gas waste heat with flue gas volume, adding a second heating device supplements the heat source of the second heat pump, helping to stabilize the heat supply to users and enhance stability.
[0015] Preferably, the heat source for the flue gas heating device is boiler exhaust or deaerator steam. Besides the heated return water, another portion of the waste heat is contained in the flue gas. By adding a second heat pump, the waste heat from the flue gas is absorbed to heat the second condenser pipe after heat exchange, enabling the recovery and reuse of low-quality energy and increasing the utilization rate of waste heat.

However, one or more embodiments may be practiced by those skilled in the art without these specific details.
[0031] First Embodiment
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 The energy-saving system for waste heat utilization in cogeneration, as shown, includes a steam turbine 1, a first condensing unit 2, a heat exchange unit 4, a first heat pump 14, a first energy-consuming terminal 7, and a compression heat pump unit 8.

[0035] The first energy-consuming terminal 7 is connected to the heat exchange device 4 through the first return water pipe 5, and the heat exchange device 4 is connected to the first energy-consuming terminal 7 through the outlet water pipe 6. The first return water pipe 5 passes through the first heat pump 14.
[0036] The compression heat pump unit 8 includes a compression heat pump 8, a compression heat pump condenser 11, a compression heat pump user 10, and a first heating device 13. A first return water pipe 5 passes through the compression heat pump 8. The first heating device 13 is connected to the compression heat pump condenser 11 via a second heating pipe 12; the first heating device 13 is a solar heating device. The second heating pipe 12 passes through the compression heat pump 8. The compression heat pump user 10 is connected to the compression condenser via a second condensing pipe 9, which also passes through the compression heat pump 8.
[0037] Second Embodiment
[0038] like Figure 2 The cogeneration waste heat utilization energy-saving system shown has the same technical solution as the first embodiment, except that: the cogeneration waste heat utilization energy-saving system also includes a second energy-consuming terminal 19, a flue gas heating device 23, a second heat pump 24, and a second condensing device 21. A second return pipe 26 is also provided between the heat exchange device 4 and the steam turbine 1. The second return pipe 26 passes through the second heat pump 24 and is equipped with a second return pipe valve 25.
[0039] The flue gas heating device 23 is connected to the second condensing device 21 via a second heating pipe 22. The heat source for the flue gas heating device 23 is boiler exhaust gas, deaerator exhaust steam, etc. The second heating pipe 22 passes through the second heat pump 24. The second energy-consuming terminal 19 is connected to the second condensing device 21 via a second return water pipe 20, which also passes through the second heat pump 24. The second heat pump 24 is also equipped with a second heating device 27, which is connected to the second condensing device 21 via a third heating pipe 18, which also passes through the second heat pump 24.
[0040] To reduce heat loss during pipeline transfer, the first heating pipeline 3, the second heating pipeline 22, the first heating pipeline 15, the second heating pipeline 12, the third heating pipeline 18, the first condensing pipeline 28, the second condensing pipeline 9, the first return pipeline 16, the second return pipeline 26, the reheat pipeline 30, the first return water pipeline 5, and the second return water pipeline 20 are equipped with external insulation sleeves.
[0041] The inlet water temperature from the first heating pipe 3 to the heat exchange device 4 is 100–120°C, and the outlet water temperature from the heat exchange device 4 to the regenerative pipe 30 is 50–70°C. The inlet water temperature from the first return water pipe 5 to the compression heat pump 8 is 50–70°C, and the outlet water temperature from the first return water pipe 5 after passing through the compression heat pump 8 is 20–40°C. The inlet water temperature from the first return water pipe to the first heat pump 14 is 20–40°C, and the outlet water temperature from the first return water pipe 5 after passing through the first heat pump 14 is 70–90°C.
[0042] During normal operation, the first condensing pipe valve 29 is open, while the regenerative pipe valve 31 remains closed. Steam is extracted from the turbine 1, and the high-temperature gas travels along the first heating pipe 3 to the heat exchange device 4, heating the loop pipe between the heat exchange device 4 and the first energy-consuming terminal 7. The cooled gas-liquid mixture then reaches the first condensing device 2, and after further cooling, returns to the turbine 1. The outlet pipe 6 carries the heated liquid to the first energy-consuming terminal 7. After passing through the first energy-consuming terminal 7, the heat-loss liquid travels through the first return pipe 16 to the heat exchange device 4. The first return pipe 16 then passes through the compression heat pump 8, where it exchanges heat with the compression heat pump 8 and the compression heat pump condensing device 11. The first heating device 13 then replenishes some heat to the pipes, meeting the energy requirements of the compression heat pump user 10.
[0043] When the heat from the first energy-consuming terminal 7 increases, the regenerative pipeline valve 31 is opened, and a portion of the first condensing pipeline valve 29 is closed. The degree to which the regenerative pipeline valve 31 is opened and the first condensing pipeline 29 is closed varies depending on the degree of heat from the first energy-consuming terminal 7. After the regenerative pipeline 30 is opened, the first return water pipeline 5 of the turbine 1 transfers a portion of the heat to the first return water pipeline 5 through heat exchange via the first heat pump 14. After the heat exchange, the turbine 1 heats the first heat pump 14 through the first heating pipeline 15, thereby increasing the return water temperature and reducing the temperature difference between the return water temperature and the outlet water pipeline 6, thus reducing the power consumption of the turbine 1 and reducing the steam extraction rate of the turbine 1. At the same time, the compression heat pump 8 performs a pre-heat exchange on the first return water pipeline 5, reducing the temperature of the first return water pipeline 5, thereby increasing the temperature difference between the first return water pipeline 5 and the regenerative pipeline 30, increasing the absorption of waste heat, and achieving the design objective of increasing waste heat utilization.
[0044] When the second heat pump 24 is added, and the power is normal and there is no need to use return water heating, the heat in the flue gas and the heat in the second return pipe 26 are used to heat the second energy-consuming terminal 19. This can effectively utilize the turbine heat when there is no return water heating, and use the waste heat energy in the flue gas, increasing the types of waste heat utilization and improving the waste heat utilization rate.
[0045] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
