AI Technical Summary
In a two-stage absorption refrigeration system, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant at the condenser outlet is directly throttled and depressurized, resulting in significant irreversible losses. Furthermore, the high-temperature superheated steam at the generator outlet is not fully utilized, limiting the improvement of system performance.
The system employs a two-stage refrigerant throttling and pressure reduction mechanism, combining high-pressure and low-pressure solution circulation loops. The saturated liquid at the condenser outlet is mixed with the condensate from the high-pressure solution circulation loop, and then throttled to an intermediate pressure before entering the gas-liquid separator for separation. The separated saturated vapor is absorbed by the high-pressure stage. The condensate from the low-pressure solution circulation loop is mixed with the low-pressure solution, and then throttled to the evaporation pressure before entering the evaporator for evaporative cooling. This is combined with superheated steam to preheat the dilute solution, thereby improving system efficiency.
It significantly reduces irreversible losses during the throttling process, improves the system's COP (cooling capacity to heat input ratio), and effectively utilizes superheated steam, thereby enhancing the performance of traditional two-stage absorption refrigeration systems.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of absorption refrigeration and waste heat utilization technology, and in particular to a two-stage absorption refrigeration system and refrigeration method driven by low-grade waste heat. Background Technology
[0002] Absorption refrigeration systems can utilize low-grade energy sources, such as solar energy and industrial waste heat, and have high energy-saving potential. Many scholars have conducted extensive research on them and proposed different system structures to improve system performance, such as GAX, dual-effect, 1.5-effect, and two-stage systems. Compared with other absorption refrigeration systems, the two-stage absorption refrigeration system can utilize low-temperature heat sources (around 70°C) and has high energy-saving potential; however, its lower COP (around 0.4) limits its further widespread application.
[0003] In a two-stage absorption refrigeration system, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant (saturated aqueous solution) at the condenser outlet is directly throttled and depressurized to a low pressure, resulting in significant irreversible losses. Furthermore, the high-temperature superheated steam at the generator outlet is directly fed into the condenser for condensation, failing to be fully utilized and causing energy waste.
[0004] As can be seen from the above analysis, reducing the irreversible losses generated during the throttling and pressure reduction process, and making reasonable use of superheated steam, play a very important role in improving the performance of a two-stage absorption refrigeration system.

[0012] Furthermore, the high-pressure stage solution circulation loop includes: a high-pressure stage absorber, a high-pressure stage solution pump, a high-pressure stage gas-liquid heat exchanger, a high-pressure stage solution heat exchanger, a high-pressure stage generator, and a high-pressure stage throttle valve;

[0021] On the other hand, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a low-grade waste heat driven two-stage absorption refrigeration method, which includes: saturated liquid output from the condenser is mixed with saturated liquid condensed from the high-pressure stage solution circulation loop, and then the mixture is subjected to a first-stage throttling and pressure reduction to an intermediate pressure through a first throttling valve, and then enters a gas-liquid separator for separation; the separated saturated vapor is absorbed by the high-pressure stage solution circulation loop; the separated saturated liquid is mixed with saturated liquid condensed from the low-pressure stage solution circulation loop, and then subjected to a second-stage throttling and pressure reduction to an evaporation pressure through a second throttling valve, and then enters an evaporator for evaporation and cooling to generate cooling capacity.

[0023] The high-pressure stage absorber is used to absorb the saturated vapor at the outlet of the gas-liquid separator and the low-pressure stage gas-liquid heat exchanger, thereby reducing the solution concentration in the high-pressure stage absorber to form a dilute solution.
[0024] After being pressurized to the condensing pressure by a high-pressure solution pump, the dilute solution enters a high-pressure gas-liquid heat exchanger. The pressurized dilute solution exchanges heat with the superheated steam output from the high-pressure generator. The steam temperature drops to the saturation temperature, and at the same time, part of the steam condenses into saturated liquid. The saturated steam is transferred to the condenser, and the condensed saturated liquid mixes with the saturated liquid output from the condenser.
[0025] After initial preheating, the dilute solution enters the high-pressure stage solution heat exchanger for further preheating.

[0028] The low-pressure stage absorber is used to absorb the saturated vapor generated in the evaporator, reducing the solution concentration in the low-pressure stage absorber to form a dilute solution.
[0029] After being pressurized to an intermediate pressure by a low-pressure stage solution pump, the dilute solution enters a low-pressure stage gas-liquid heat exchanger. The pressurized dilute solution exchanges heat with the superheated steam output from the low-pressure stage generator. The steam temperature drops to the saturation temperature, and some of the steam condenses into saturated liquid. The saturated steam is transferred to the high-pressure stage solution circulation loop, and the condensed saturated liquid mixes with the saturated liquid separated by the gas-liquid separator.
[0030] After initial preheating, the dilute solution enters a low-pressure stage solution heat exchanger for further preheating.
[0031] The preheated dilute solution enters the low-pressure generator for regeneration. The water in the dilute solution evaporates into superheated steam, and at the same time, the solution temperature and concentration increase.
[0032] The concentrated solution output from the low-pressure stage generator enters the low-pressure stage solution heat exchanger for heat exchange, where its temperature decreases. Then, it passes through the low-pressure stage throttling valve to reduce its pressure before entering the low-pressure stage absorber.
[0033] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions:
[0034] 1. This invention employs a two-stage throttling process for the refrigerant, with the first stage throttling to the intermediate pressure and the second stage throttling to the evaporation pressure. This reduces irreversible losses during the throttling process, while increasing the cooling capacity per unit mass and improving the system COP (cooling capacity to input heat ratio).
[0035] 2. This invention utilizes superheated steam from the generator outlet to preheat a dilute solution, which can effectively utilize the superheated steam, reduce the heat source consumption in the generator, and thus improve the system COP.
