Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air compressor waste heat recovery, and in particular to a dehumidification system and method for recovering air compressor waste heat using natural wind. Background Art

[0002] Air compression systems, dehumidification systems, and air conditioning systems, as independent energy systems, waste significant energy during use. In related technologies, air compressors, as pneumatic devices with high energy consumption, have their energy consumption and efficiency affected by intake parameters, with intake temperature and humidity being particularly significant. When the air compressor draws in high-temperature, high-humidity air for compression, the exhaust volume and pressure decrease, increasing energy consumption. Generally, only 15% of the energy consumed during air compressor operation is converted into air potential energy, while the remaining 85% is converted into heat energy, which is ultimately dissipated into the environment through water or air. This not only wastes energy but also creates thermal pollution. In traditional air conditioning systems, temperature and humidity are processed together. To meet humidity requirements, condensation dehumidification is often used. The cold water temperature must be lower than the air dew point. This condensation dehumidification method not only requires a low evaporation temperature for the refrigeration unit, resulting in energy waste, but also generates large amounts of condensed water and mold during equipment operation, seriously affecting indoor air quality.

[0084] Example 1

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, the dehumidification system for recovering waste heat from an air compressor using natural wind according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air compression system, a solution dehumidification system, and an air conditioning system. The air compression system includes a first heat exchanger 104 for cooling lubricating oil, a second heat exchanger 108 for cooling compressed gas, a first fan 103 for driving natural wind through the first heat exchanger 104, and a second fan 107 for driving natural wind through the second heat exchanger 108; the solution dehumidification system includes a regenerator 201, a first solution dehumidifier 205, a second solution dehumidifier 207, and an air supply pipe 210. The air supply pipe 210 is used to guide the air flow after passing through the first heat exchanger 104 and the second heat exchanger 108 to the air inlet end of the regenerator 201. The first solution dehumidifier The liquid inlet of the dehumidifier 205 and the liquid inlet of the second solution dehumidifier 207 are both connected to the concentrated solution outlet of the regenerator 201, the liquid outlet of the first solution dehumidifier 205 and the liquid outlet of the second solution dehumidifier 207 are both connected to the dilute solution inlet of the regenerator 201, and the air outlet of the first solution dehumidifier 205 is connected to the air intake of the air compression system; the air conditioning system includes an exhaust pipe 309, and the exhaust pipe 309 connects the exhaust of the air conditioning system with the air inlet of the first solution dehumidifier 205, and the second solution dehumidifier 207 is used to dehumidify the air flow passing through the air conditioning system.

[0086] In the above embodiment, firstly, the first fan 103 can be used to introduce natural wind through the first heat exchanger 104 to cool the high-temperature lubricating oil, and the second fan 107 can be used to introduce natural wind to cool the high-temperature compressed gas. The heated natural wind is then used to regenerate the dilute solution in the solution dehumidification system, thereby recovering the waste heat of the air compression system and preventing the waste heat from being directly discharged into the environment and causing thermal pollution. Secondly, when the air compression system draws in high-temperature and high-humidity air for compression, the exhaust volume and exhaust pressure decrease, and energy consumption increases. In the dehumidification system of the above embodiment, the first solution dehumidifier 205 can be used to reduce the humidity of the air entering the air compression system, and the exhaust air from the air conditioning system can be introduced through the exhaust pipe 309. The exhaust air from the air conditioning system can be used to lower the temperature of the air entering the air compression system, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the air compression system. Thirdly, using solution dehumidification to dehumidify does not require the cooling source temperature of the air conditioning system to be lower than the dew point temperature of the air. The system no longer generates condensed water, which can prevent the growth of biological pollutants such as mold and improve indoor air quality. In addition, solution dehumidification is similar to a wet dust collector, which can filter dust in the air to a certain extent and purify the air. That is, the dehumidification system in the above embodiment uses natural wind to recover the waste heat generated by the cooling process of compressed air and lubricating oil to drive the regeneration of dehumidification solution. The regenerated concentrated solution is used for dehumidification of the compressed air inlet and the air-conditioning system, thereby reducing the dehumidification energy consumption; the air-conditioning system uses solution dehumidification to separately handle the latent heat load, control the indoor humidity, avoid energy waste, and the solution dehumidification method can also achieve the effect of purifying the indoor air.

[0087] Optionally, the air compression system may specifically include an air compressor 101, an oil-gas separator 102, a first fan 103, a first heat exchanger 104, a second fan 107, a second heat exchanger 108, a dehumidifier 105, and an air storage tank 106. The air inlet of the air compressor 101 is connected to the air outlet of the first solution dehumidifier 205 via a connecting air duct 109, the compressed air outlet of the air compressor 101 is connected to the inlet of the oil-gas separator 102, the oil outlet of the oil-gas separator 102 is connected to the inlet of the first heat exchanger 104 via an oil outlet pipeline 110, the outlet of the first heat exchanger 104 is connected to the oil return port of the air compressor 101 via an oil return pipeline 111, the air outlet of the oil-gas separator 102 is connected to the air inlet of the dehumidifier 105, and the outlet of the dehumidifier 105 is connected to the air storage tank 106. During operation, air enters the first liquid dehumidifier 205 for dehumidification, significantly reducing the energy consumption of the air compressor 101. The dehumidified air is then passed through the connecting air duct 109 into the air compressor 101 for compression. The compressed oil-gas mixture then enters the oil-gas separator 102 for oil-gas separation. The separated, high-temperature compressed gas is cooled by natural air through the second heat exchanger 108. The cooled compressed gas undergoes a secondary dehumidification process in the dehumidifier 105 and is then passed into the gas storage tank 106 for subsequent system processing. The separated, high-temperature lubricating oil enters the first heat exchanger 104 through the oil outlet line 110 for cooling by natural air. The cooled lubricating oil then returns to the air compressor 101 through the oil return line 111, completing the lubricating oil cycle.

[0088] Optionally, the air-conditioning system may include an air duct 300, in which an air intake section 301, a filter 302, a surface cooler 303, a third fan 307 and an air outlet 308 are arranged in sequence along the air flow direction. The second solution dehumidifier 207 of the solution dehumidification system is arranged in the air duct 300 and is located in front of the surface cooler 303. The surface cooler 303 is correspondingly provided with a chilled water supply pipe 304, a chilled water return pipe 305, and a chilled water pump 306; the chilled water pump 306 drives the chilled water into the surface cooler 303 through the chilled water supply pipe 304, and returns the chilled water that completes heat exchange in the surface cooler 303 through the chilled water return pipe 305. The system can use a high-temperature cold source to control the indoor temperature, and the chilled water supply temperature can be increased from 7°C of a conventional air-conditioning system to 18°C, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the refrigeration host and reducing the energy consumption of the air-conditioning system. During operation, third fan 307 drives air from the air intake section into air duct 300. The air then passes through filter 302, second liquid dehumidifier 207, and surface cooler 303 before being delivered through air outlet 308. The air entering air intake section 301 can be fresh air, return air, or mixed air. The air conditioning system utilizes second liquid dehumidifier 207 to independently handle latent heat loads and control indoor humidity. A higher-temperature cooling source controls indoor temperature, achieving independent control of temperature and humidity and avoiding energy waste. Furthermore, liquid dehumidification also purifies indoor air.

[0089] In some embodiments, the dehumidification system for recovering air compressor waste heat using natural wind further includes a first liquid storage tank 202. The concentrated solution outlet of the regenerator 201 is connected to the first liquid storage tank 202. The first liquid storage tank 202 is in communication with the first solution dehumidifier 205 via a first concentrated solution pipe 211, and the first liquid storage tank 202 is in communication with the second solution dehumidifier 207 via a second concentrated solution pipe 212. Similarly, the dilute solution inlet of the regenerator 201 is connected to a second liquid storage tank 209. The second liquid storage tank 209 is in communication with the first solution dehumidifier 205 via a first dilute solution pipe, and the second liquid storage tank 209 is in communication with the second solution dehumidifier 207 via a second dilute solution pipe.

[0090] The working principle of the solution dehumidification system is as follows: the dilute solution is transported from the second liquid storage tank 209 to the regenerator 201 through the dilute solution pump 208. At this time, the high-temperature natural wind collected from the first heat exchanger 104 and the second heat exchanger 108 enters the regenerator 201 of the solution dehumidification system through the air supply pipe 210. The high-temperature natural wind and the dilute solution are heat exchanged in the regenerator 201, and the dilute solution is regenerated into a concentrated solution. The high-temperature natural wind is discharged into the atmosphere after the temperature is reduced. The prepared concentrated solution enters the first liquid storage tank 202 and is transported to the first solution dehumidifier 205 through the first concentrated solution pipe 211 through the concentrated solution pump 203, and is transported to the second solution dehumidifier 207 through the second concentrated solution pipe 212 through the concentrated solution pump 203 to dehumidify the areas that need dehumidification.
