[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of an automatic pressure control system for a vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system in a specific embodiment. The system includes: a regenerator 3; the cold end input end of the regenerator 3 is connected to the liquid storage tank 1 through a working fluid pump 2. The liquid storage tank 1 stores liquid working fluid and serves as the starting point and end point of the working fluid circulation. Ensure that the system has a stable supply of working fluid, and collect the liquid working fluid condensed by the condenser 15 for recycling again. The working fluid pump 2 can pressurize the liquid working fluid in the liquid storage tank 1 and transport it to the cold end input end of the regenerator 3. The working fluid pump 2 can provide sufficient pressure to enable the liquid working fluid to circulate in the system to complete the process of absorbing, transferring and releasing heat energy.

[0029] The cold end output of the regenerator 3 of this embodiment is connected to the heat exchange input of the preheater 4. The heat exchange output of the preheater 4 is connected to the heat exchange input of the flue gas evaporator 6, and the heat exchange output of the flue gas evaporator 6 is connected to the hot end input of the regenerator 3 and the input of the turbine expander 14 respectively.

[0030] In some embodiments, the preheater 4 uses the waste heat of the cylinder jacket water of the diesel engine 7 to preheat the working fluid output from the cold end of the regenerator 3. The temperature of the working fluid entering the flue gas evaporator 6 can be increased, thereby improving the overall heat exchange efficiency of the system. The flue gas evaporator 6 can also heat the working fluid output by the preheater 4 based on the high-temperature flue gas in the exhaust of the diesel engine 7, so that it evaporates and reaches a high temperature and high pressure state. The waste heat in the diesel engine exhaust is converted into the internal energy of the working fluid, thereby improving the heat energy recovery efficiency of the system.

[0031] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor 12 and a temperature sensor 13 are provided on one side of the input end of the turbo expander 14. The pressure sensor 12 and the temperature sensor 13 can monitor the working fluid pressure and temperature at the input end of the turbo expander 14 in real time, and provide accurate parameter basis for automatic control and protection of the system. Through these parameters, the control system can automatically adjust the working fluid flow rate, bypass valve opening, etc., to ensure safe and efficient operation of the system.

[0032] The hot end output end of the regenerator 3 of this embodiment is connected to the liquid storage tank 1 through the condenser 15; the output end of the turbine expander 14 is connected to the hot end input end of the regenerator 3.

[0033] The turbine expander 14 of this embodiment expands the high-temperature and high-pressure working fluid to do work, outputs mechanical energy or electrical energy, and reduces the temperature and pressure of the working fluid to prepare for the subsequent heat exchange process.

[0034] In this embodiment, the regenerator 3 can be used to recover the heat carried by the high-temperature working fluid discharged from the turbine expander 14 and the flue gas evaporator 6, and heat the low-temperature working fluid from the liquid storage tank 1. The thermal efficiency of the system is improved, and the waste of heat is reduced by recycling and reusing heat energy, so that the energy utilization rate of the entire system is higher.

[0035] The heat absorption output end of the preheater 4 of this embodiment is connected to the cylinder water input end of the diesel engine 7, and the cylinder water output end of the diesel engine 7 is connected to the heat absorption input end of the preheater 4; the exhaust end of the diesel engine 7 is connected to the turbocharger 10 through the exhaust pipe 8, and the turbocharger 10 is also connected to the flue gas evaporator 6, which can transfer the high-temperature waste heat in the diesel engine exhaust to the working medium, thereby realizing the recovery and utilization of the waste heat.

[0036] In some embodiments, the condenser 15 can condense the low-temperature and low-pressure working fluid output from the hot end of the turbine expander 14 or the regenerator 3 into a liquid state, recover the waste heat in the working fluid, and condense the working fluid into a liquid state so as to be stored in the liquid storage tank 1 again, thus completing the circulation of the working fluid.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, the connection between the preheater 4 and the cylinder jacket water of the diesel engine 7 can utilize the waste heat of the cylinder jacket water of the diesel engine to preheat the working fluid and improve the thermal efficiency of the system.

[0038] In some embodiments, a turbine bypass valve 11 is provided between the heat exchange output end of the flue gas evaporator 6 and the hot end input end of the regenerator 3; the turbine bypass valve 11 can open the bypass valve to adjust the system pressure and protect the safety of the equipment under certain working conditions, such as when the turbine expander 14 is underloaded or the system pressure is too high. An electric control valve is provided between the output end of the turbine expander 14 and the hot end input end of the regenerator 3. The electric control valve can automatically adjust the working fluid flow at the output end of the turbine expander 14 according to the signals of the system pressure and temperature sensors to maintain stable operation of the system.

[0039] The following is an embodiment of the vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system pressure automatic control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. This method and the vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system pressure automatic control system of the above-mentioned embodiments belong to the same inventive concept. For details not described in detail in the embodiment of the vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system pressure automatic control method, please refer to the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system pressure automatic control system embodiment.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: S101: Obtaining working fluid pressure information P at the heat exchange output end of the flue gas evaporator.

[0041] In some embodiments, this is achieved by installing a pressure sensor at the heat exchange output end of the flue gas evaporator. In this way, the pressure information P of the working fluid at this position can be monitored and output in real time for subsequent control logic judgment. It also enables the system to understand the efficiency of the current waste heat recovery process and the flow state of the working fluid in the system, providing a basis for subsequent control decisions.

[0042] S102: The operating state of the turbine bypass valve is obtained. If the operating state of the turbine bypass valve is open, a pressure control logic mapping table in the turbine open state is retrieved to obtain the opening information K of the turbine bypass valve.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is moving and the operating conditions of the turbine expander are met, the turbine expander is turned on and performs work to generate electricity.

[0044] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the turbine bypass valve is in an open state, the system will calculate appropriate turbine bypass valve opening information K according to a preset pressure control logic mapping table and information such as the current engine load and speed.

[0045] In this way, the opening state of the turbine bypass valve directly affects the flow path and pressure distribution of the working fluid in the system. By obtaining the operating state of the turbine bypass valve and adjusting its opening accordingly, the system can flexibly respond to the waste heat recovery needs under different working conditions, optimize system performance, and ensure the efficiency and stability of the waste heat recovery process.

[0046] S103: configuring a mapping opening range and a recommended opening value according to the working fluid pressure at the heat exchange output end of the flue gas evaporator.

[0047] This embodiment can preset a pressure-opening mapping relationship. According to the working medium pressure P at the heat exchange output end of the flue gas evaporator, combined with the design requirements and control strategy of the system, the reasonable opening range of the turbine bypass valve and the recommended opening value under the current working conditions are calculated.

[0048] This can provide clear guidance for the subsequent turbine bypass valve opening adjustment, ensuring that the turbine bypass valve opening adjustment meets the requirements for waste heat recovery efficiency.

[0049] S104: Detecting whether the opening of the turbine bypass valve is within a mapped opening range; If it is, end this control; If not, set the turbine bypass valve opening to the recommended opening value.

[0050] This embodiment detects the actual opening of the turbine bypass valve in real time through the valve position sensor or the state monitoring function inside the control system, and compares it with the mapped opening range configured in step S103. By comparing the actual opening with the mapped opening range, the system can timely discover and correct possible opening deviations, ensuring that the opening of the turbine bypass valve is always within the optimal or acceptable range.

[0051] S105: At this point, one waste heat recovery pressure control is completed, and in this cycle, the waste heat recovery pressure control is executed once every preset time period to achieve automatic waste heat recovery pressure control.

[0052] For this embodiment, when it is detected that the opening of the turbine bypass valve is within the mapped opening range, it can be defined as the current opening is appropriate and does not need to be adjusted, and the control process ends.

[0053] If the opening is not within the mapped opening range, the opening of the turbine bypass valve is automatically adjusted to the recommended opening value to achieve automatic pressure control.

[0054] It can be seen that the method of this embodiment can ensure that the pressure of the waste heat recovery process is always kept within the optimal or acceptable range by adjusting the opening of the turbine bypass valve according to the comparison result, thereby improving the stability of the system and the waste heat recovery efficiency. Accurate control of the system pressure is achieved to ensure the stable operation of the system.

[0055] Furthermore, as a refinement and expansion of the specific implementation methods of the above-mentioned embodiment, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process in this embodiment, the method uses a pressure control logic mapping table to call up the turbine bypass valve opening range according to the system pressure level, and gives an electric bypass valve opening instruction through the controller to maintain the system pressure within the target design range, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic and precise pressure control.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system pressure automatic control method also includes the following steps: Step S201, obtaining the measured values ​​of key parameters of the waste heat recovery system through a pressure sensor.

[0057] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor is arranged between the flue gas evaporator and the high-speed turbine expander for heat exchange with the engine exhaust. The key parameter measurement values ​​of the waste heat recovery system include the flue gas evaporator outlet working medium pressure P and the turbine electric bypass valve opening K.

[0058] Step S202, checking the turbine on state, if the turbine is on, calling the pressure control logic mapping table in the turbine on state, if the turbine is not on, calling the pressure control logic mapping table in the turbine off state.

[0059] In this embodiment, checking the turbine opening state includes the turbine opening state and the turbine closing state.

[0060] The turbine on state can be defined as S_tu = 1. The turbine off state can be defined as S_tu = 0.

[0061] When the vehicle starts and stops, the expander inlet temperature and pressure are too high or too low to meet the turbine start-up conditions. At this time, the turbine is in the closed state, and the turbine bypass valve is opened moderately to ensure normal operation of the system. When the vehicle is driving and the waste heat recovery system status meets the turbine expander operating conditions, the turbine is turned on and generates power.

[0062] The pressure control logic mapping table of this embodiment is a one-to-one correspondence between the working fluid pressure P at the flue gas evaporator outlet and the turbine electric bypass valve opening K. The pressure control logic mapping table can be defined according to different heat source waste heat recovery systems and working fluid properties.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, the setting method of the pressure control logic mapping table when the turbine is turned on is: P≤1000kPa, K=0%; 1000kPa<P≤1100kPa, K≤20%; 1100kPa<P≤1200kPa, 15%≤K≤30%; P>1200kPa, K=0%.

[0064] How to set the pressure control logic mapping table when the turbine is closed: P≤150kPa, 24%≤K≤34%; 150kPa<P≤250kPa, 28%≤K≤38%; 250kPa<P≤400kPa, 32%≤K≤42%; 400kPa<P≤550kPa, 36%≤K≤46%; 550kPa<P≤700kPa, 40%≤K≤50%; 700kPa<P≤850kPa, 44%≤K≤54%; P>850kPa, K=54%.

[0065] Step S203, selecting and mapping the turbine bypass valve opening range and the recommended opening value according to the working fluid pressure at the evaporator outlet.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, if the turbine is turned on, the corresponding turbine bypass valve opening range is selected according to the range of the working fluid pressure P at the evaporator outlet and the pressure control logic mapping table when the turbine is turned on. The recommended opening value of the turbine bypass valve is the maximum value of the K range under the corresponding P range.

[0067] Similarly, if the turbine is closed, the corresponding turbine bypass valve opening range is selected based on the range of the working fluid pressure P at the evaporator outlet and the pressure control logic mapping table when the turbine is closed. The recommended opening value of the turbine bypass valve is the minimum value of the K range under the corresponding P range plus 6%.

[0068] Step S204, checking whether the opening of the turbine bypass valve is within the mapped opening range, if so, ending the current control, if not, setting the opening of the turbine bypass valve to the recommended opening value.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the time for adjusting the opening of the turbine bypass valve to the recommended value is 2 seconds.

[0070] At this point, the pressure control of the waste heat recovery system is completed once, and this cycle is executed every 4 seconds. Since the waste heat recovery system has large thermal inertia and followability, it does not require too frequent pressure adjustment, so the measurement frequency is 1 second / time, and the pressure control is 4 seconds / time. The real-time automatic pressure control of the vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system is completed.

[0071] It can be seen that compared with the prior art, the vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system pressure automatic control method of this embodiment can enable the waste heat recovery system to automatically adjust the pressure in real time according to the vehicle operation state during the actual operation of the vehicle, so that the system pressure is maintained within the target design range, and efficient and accurate pressure control is achieved. In addition, the present invention has been implemented and verified on the whole vehicle, and the feasibility of the method has been determined, and it has a wide range of application prospects.

[0072] The present application also provides a vehicle, specifically including an automatic pressure control system for a vehicle-mounted waste heat recovery system.
