Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of waste heat recovery, and in particular to a waste heat recovery heating device with automatic mode switching. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, automation equipment is widely used in production and life. Under the large-scale call for energy conservation and environmental protection, the recovery and utilization of waste heat generated by the equipment has attracted more and more attention and research. Bath centers need to prepare a large amount of hot and cold water for operation every day. Industrial equipment generates a large amount of waste heat that can be used for waste heat recovery. At present, there are the following waste heat recovery products on the market: non-waste heat recovery type water-heating device (including direct heating and circulating heating mode); direct heating type waste heat recovery water-heating device; circulating heating type waste heat recovery water-heating device; single heating waste heat recovery water-heating device + auxiliary refrigeration device. Among them, the non-waste heat recovery type water-heating device does not recover the heat energy in the bathing wastewater, causing a lot of energy waste, and can only be used as a supplementary or backup heat source; direct heating type and circulating heating type waste heat recovery water-heating device, although it recovers the heat energy in the bathing wastewater, has a single function and does not take into account the summer cooling demand, which increases the investment in refrigeration equipment and the system operation cost. The single waste heat recovery + auxiliary refrigeration device is a product with good economic applicability at present, but it cannot solve the contradiction between rapid hot water production, maintaining constant temperature of the water tank and long-term stable refrigeration, and the imbalance between cold and heat is prominent. The direct heating + auxiliary cooling device cannot cool when the hot water tank is full, and the liquid level must be lowered to start the cooling machine, which causes energy waste when the process does not require hot water. The circulating heat + auxiliary cooling device cannot meet the requirements of rapid hot water production, unless the heating capacity is increased and the investment is increased, but this may be much greater than the refrigeration load, resulting in increased energy consumption.

[0025] The cascade technology of the present invention is to repeatedly extract heat energy by superimposing the heat exchange of the heat exchanger and the heat pump compressor heat raising process, perform deep heat energy extraction on the bathing wastewater twice, transfer all the heat to the clean water, and achieve the dual purpose of waste heat recovery and hot water preparation. The heat exchange process of the clean water is as follows: the cold fluid in the first wastewater heat exchanger 21 is clean water, and the clean water first passes through the first wastewater heat exchanger 21 to heat exchange and heat up with 30-35℃ bathing wastewater. After the temperature is raised, the bathing wastewater at about 15℃ is fully extracted for the second time by the heat pump compressor, and the temperature is 3-5℃ when discharged. At the same time, the clean water at 15℃ is heated twice by heat exchange and heat pump work to reach 40-65℃ (adjustable) and stored in the hot water tank 1 for standby use. This process is a direct heating mode.
[0026] The working process of the whole system of the present invention can be divided into two seasons. In winter, the system working conditions are divided into two modes, with direct heating as the main mode and circulating heating as the auxiliary mode. The main process is as follows: when the liquid level of the hot water tank 1 is lower than the starting liquid level, the No. 1 electric valve 8 and the No. 2 electric valve 9 are opened, the clean water interface is opened, and the waste water pump 26 and the condensing pump 30 are opened for a delay of 10 seconds. When the clean water pressure gauge 29 and the waste water pressure gauge 28 reach high pressure, the waste heat recovery unit is turned on. At this time, the direct heating mode is used to make hot water. 15℃ clean water is directly heated to 40-60℃ and stored in the insulated hot water tank 1. When the water tank liquid level is higher than the stop liquid level and the temperature is higher than the set value for the shutdown of circulating heating, the unit is shut down.
[0027] (2) When the liquid level of hot water tank 1 is higher than the stop level and the temperature of hot water tank 1 is lower than the set circulation heating start setting value, the unit switches to circulation heating mode. At this time, electric valve No. 1 8 and electric valve No. 2 9 are closed, electric valve No. 3 10 and electric valve No. 4 11 are opened, condensing pump 30 is closed after a delay of 5 seconds, hot water circulation pump 6 is turned on, and other equipment of the unit remains unchanged. When the water tank liquid level is higher than the stop level and the temperature is higher than the circulation heating shutdown setting value, the unit shuts down. (Does not occur often)
[0028] In summer, the system operating conditions can be divided into four modes:
[0029] (1) When the return water temperature of the air conditioner is greater than the set value of 15°C and the liquid level in the hot water tank 1 is lower than the starting liquid level, the No. 1 electric valve 8 and the No. 2 electric valve 9 are opened, the clean water interface is opened, the waste water pump 26 and the condensing pump 30 are turned on, and the delay is 10 seconds. When the clean water pressure gauge 29 and the waste water pressure gauge 28 reach high pressure, the waste heat recovery unit is turned on and the system is in direct heating mode;
[0030] (2) When the liquid level of hot water tank 1 is higher than the stop level and the return water temperature of the air conditioner has not reached the shutdown temperature, and the temperature of hot water tank 1 is lower than the set circulation heating start setting value, the system switches to circulation heating mode. At this time, the No. 1 electric valve 8 and the No. 2 electric valve 9 are closed, the No. 3 electric valve 10 and the No. 4 electric valve 11 are opened, the hot water circulation pump 6 is turned on, and the condensing pump 30 is turned off after a delay of 5 seconds. Other equipment of the unit remains unchanged.
[0031] (3) When the liquid level in the hot water tank 1 reaches the shutdown liquid and the temperature is higher than the shutdown setting value of the circulating heating, and the return water temperature of the air conditioner has not reached the shutdown temperature, the system switches to the cooling tower circulation heat exchange mode. At this time, the No. 3 electric valve 10 and the No. 4 electric valve 11 are closed, the No. 5 electric valve 12 and the No. 6 electric valve 13 are opened, the cooling tower circulation pump 34 and the fan are turned on, and the hot water circulation pump 6 is turned off after a delay of 5 seconds. Other equipment of the unit remains unchanged.
[0032] (4) When the air conditioning return water temperature reaches the shutdown temperature, the system stops running.
[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention.
