Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drying agricultural products, and in particular to an alternating airflow thick layer heat pump dehumidification drying device and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Drying of agricultural products is an important process for their storage value-added and deep processing pretreatment, and is an important part of agricultural product processing. At present, agricultural products are mostly dried in thin layers, that is, the agricultural products are spread flat on the tray, and the airflow passes through the materials. The thin layer drying equipment is large in size and has low volume utilization. In order to improve equipment utilization and reduce equipment size, the materials can be piled to a certain thickness (usually more than 5cm), and the airflow passes through the bed. Thick layer drying is adopted. The material uniformity of the thick bed in the direction of the bed thickness is poor. Taking a 35cm thick bed of grain as an example, the humidity difference is about 4% after drying. In order to improve the uniformity of thick bed drying, some existing technologies have proposed thick layer drying methods based on alternating airflow. By switching the airflow temperature and airflow direction, the heat utilization rate is improved to obtain better product drying quality.
[0003] As an emerging drying method, heat pump drying has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, intelligent control, and good drying effect, and has been widely promoted. According to the different ways of handling hot and humid air in the drying room, it can be divided into dehumidification heat pump and dehumidification heat pump. The use of dehumidification heat pump will lose a large amount of high-quality heat energy, waste energy, and is not conducive to energy saving and environmental protection. Dehumidification heat pumps mostly use closed dehumidification method. The operating conditions of the evaporator and condenser are interrelated and change in real time during the drying process, which may lead to poor dehumidification effect and dehumidification reliability. Regarding the control strategy of the heat pump dehumidification system, some existing technologies disclose dehumidification control methods. According to the current drying stage of the material, the drying wet load is intelligently adjusted to dynamically match the wet load with the actual capacity. Other existing technologies disclose control methods for dehumidification heat pumps. The air volume passing through the evaporator is adjusted according to the dew point temperature to improve the dehumidification effect.
[0004] However, there is currently a lack of matching heat pump control strategies for thick layer drying based on alternating airflow. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the problems of thick layer drying, alternating airflow control, etc. in the prior art, the present invention proposes the following technical solutions:
[0006] An alternating airflow heat pump dehumidification and drying device, comprising:
[0007] A drying bed and a heat pump device; wherein the drying bed comprises at least two upper and lower drying chambers, each drying chamber comprising at least multiple layers of thick material arranged from top to bottom, for example, an even number of layers of thick material arranged, for example, four layers of thick material arranged; obviously, multiple layers of thick material arranged in this way can be arranged in parallel in the drying chamber, for example, three layers can be arranged in parallel through a material bin.
[0008] Thick material layers and air flow channels are arranged alternately, and air flow blocking structures are alternately arranged at the front and rear ends of the air flow channels, so that after the air flow enters the air flow channel from the inlet, it needs to pass through the thick material layer, and then flow out of the air flow channel from the adjacent air flow channel to achieve mixed flow of air flow and material. The thick material layer and the air flow channel in the upper and lower drying chambers are arranged in a symmetrical structure (for example, rotational symmetry, that is, the flow direction of the airflow in the upper and lower drying chambers is opposite); a ventilation fan is provided on the side wall of the drying bed.
[0009] The front and rear ends of the airflow channel and the thick material layer in the present invention refer to the direction of airflow entering as the front end and the direction of airflow flowing out as the rear end. For example, an airflow blocking structure connected to the upper and / or lower wall of the drying chamber is provided at the front end of the uppermost thick material layer and / or the lowermost thick material layer, and then an airflow blocking device is provided at the front end of each airflow channel, and airflow blocking devices staggered with the front end airflow spacing devices are provided at intervals at the rear ends of the separated airflow channels, so that each airflow channel is in a semi-closed state and each airflow channel has only one function of airflow entering or flowing out.
[0010] The airflow channel with airflow inflow function and the airflow channel with airflow outflow function are spaced from each other, and the airflow enters from the front end of the airflow channel with airflow inflow function and flows out from the rear end of the airflow channel with airflow outflow function; the airflow inlets of the airflow channels are on the same side, and the airflow outlets of the airflow channels are on the other side.
[0011] The heat pump device includes a compressor, a throttle valve, a condenser-evaporator A, a condenser-evaporator B, a condenser-evaporator C, a condenser-evaporator D, and corresponding reversing valves A, B and C.
[0012] Furthermore, temperature and humidity sensors T1, W1 and T3 are installed on both sides of the condenser evaporator B, and temperature and humidity sensors T2, W2 and T4 are installed on both sides of the condenser evaporator C.
[0013] Furthermore, when the device is running in forward flow, the compressor outlet is connected in sequence to the reversing valve A, the reversing valve B, the condenser evaporator A, the reversing valve B, the condenser evaporator B, the throttle valve, the condenser evaporator C, the reversing valve C, the condenser evaporator D, the reversing valve C, the reversing valve A, and finally returns to the compressor inlet.
[0014] Furthermore, when the device operates in reverse flow, the compressor outlet is connected in sequence to the reversing valve A, the reversing valve C, the condenser evaporator D, the reversing valve C, the condenser evaporator C, the throttle valve, the condenser evaporator B, the reversing valve B, the condenser evaporator A, the reversing valve B, the reversing valve A, and finally returns to the compressor inlet.
[0015] During operation, the condenser evaporator A and the condenser evaporator D can be cut off through the reversing valve B and the reversing valve C to reduce the compressor intake air superheat and improve the system dehumidification efficiency.
[0016] Furthermore, the compressor adopts a variable frequency compressor; the throttle valve adopts an electronic expansion valve; and the fans of the condenser evaporator B and the condenser evaporator C are variable frequency fans.
[0017] At the same time, the present invention also provides a control method for the above device, comprising:
[0018] Step S1, start the device and collect temperatures T1, T2, T3, T4, humidity W1, W2, and compressor inlet and outlet pressures P1 and P2; set the target air supply temperature Tset, the maximum allowable humidity Wset, the condenser heat exchange temperature difference △Tcon, the dehumidification evaporator heat exchange temperature difference △Tvap, the dehumidification and cooling temperature difference △Tw and the switching period t;
[0019] Step S2, controlling the reversing valve A, the reversing valve B, the reversing valve C, and the fan directions of the condenser evaporator A, the condenser evaporator B, the condenser evaporator C, and the condenser evaporator D, so that the system is in a positive flow direction;
[0020] Step S3, detect the supply air temperature Tg and supply air humidity Wg, compare them with the target supply air temperature Tset and the permitted maximum humidity Wset, and adjust the ventilation fan speed; when Tg>Tset or Wg>Wset, increase the fan speed to increase the ventilation volume, otherwise reduce the ventilation volume.
[0021] Step S4: According to the target drying temperature Tset and the condenser heat exchange temperature difference △Tcon, the target condensing temperature Tcon is obtained, Tcon=Tset+△Tcon, and the target exhaust pressure Pcon is calculated using the target condensing temperature Tcon and the refrigerant properties; the compressor exhaust pressure P2 is detected, and the target exhaust pressure Pcon is compared with the actual exhaust pressure P2 to adjust the compressor frequency. When P2>Pcon, the compressor frequency is reduced, otherwise the compressor frequency is increased.
[0022] Step S5: Calculate the return air dew point temperature Tw based on the return air temperature Tb and humidity Wb, and then obtain the target evaporation temperature Tvap based on the heat exchange temperature difference △Tvap of the dehumidification evaporator, Tvap=Tw-△Tvap, and calculate the target intake pressure Pvap using the target evaporation temperature Tvap and the refrigerant properties; monitor the compressor intake pressure P1, compare the target intake pressure Pvap with the actual exhaust pressure P1, and adjust the throttle valve opening. When P1>Pvap, reduce the throttle valve opening, otherwise increase the throttle valve opening.
[0023] Step S6: According to the dew point temperature Tw and the dehumidification and cooling temperature difference △Tw, the target dehumidification air flow temperature Tdc is obtained, Tdc=Tw-△Tw. The dehumidification evaporator outlet air flow temperature Td is detected, and the target dehumidification temperature Tdc is compared with the actual dehumidification temperature Td, and the dehumidification evaporator fan speed is adjusted. When Td>Tdc, the dehumidification evaporator fan speed is reduced, otherwise the dehumidification evaporator fan speed is increased.
[0024] Step S7, when running to the switching cycle, control the reversing valve A, reversing valve B, reversing valve C, and condenser evaporator A, condenser evaporator B, condenser evaporator C, condenser evaporator D so that the system is in a countercurrent direction, and execute the process of steps S3-S6.
[0025] Step S8, repeat the process of steps S2-S7 until the drying is completed.
[0026] Furthermore, the target air supply temperature Tset is set to 50-100°C.
[0027] Furthermore, the dehumidification and cooling temperature difference △Tw is 5-50℃.
[0028] Furthermore, the heat exchange temperature differences ΔTcon and ΔTvap are 5-50°C.
[0029] The device and control method of the present invention change the air supply temperature Tg and the alternating airflow direction in real time based on the characteristics of the dried material and the thickness of the material layer (1). By switching the reversing valve and regulating the direction / flow rate of the condenser evaporator fan, alternating airflow drying of thick material layers is achieved, thereby achieving the purpose of improving drying uniformity and the energy efficiency of the drying system.
[0030] The beneficial effects brought about by the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention include at least:
[0031] Compared with thin layer drying (the material thickness is generally about 3cm, and the gas is usually used to pass over the surface for drying), thick layer drying can effectively improve the volume utilization rate of the equipment. In order to improve the drying uniformity of the material layer thickness / width direction, a multi-layer alternating airflow bed method is adopted. In order to adapt to the alternating airflow dehumidification and drying, the heat pump system is equipped with two sets of condensers and two sets of evaporators, and the evaporators and condensers can be switched as the airflow direction changes. Since two sets of evaporators are set, the dehumidification evaporator gas volume can be adjusted during the dehumidification process to achieve the optimal initial wet effect.
[0032] Compared with the existing heat pump drying equipment, the device of the present invention has the following advantages: (1) Two sets of evaporators are provided, and the dehumidification effect is adjusted in real time according to the air volume of the working evaporator during the drying process to ensure the dehumidification efficiency of the system. (2) The heat pump alternating air flow switching is adopted, the equipment is small in size, and uniform drying of thick layers of materials can be achieved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
