Faced with a severe energy situation, we must accelerate the development of new energy sources and improve energy efficiency. my country has abundant waste heat resources. Traditional coal-fired power generation and industrial processes generate a large amount of waste heat, which is difficult to utilize due to its low grade. Lithium bromide heat pumps offer advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, environmental friendliness, and safety. Utilizing lithium bromide absorption heat pump technology can convert low-grade heat energy into high-grade heat energy, achieving the goals of waste heat utilization and energy conservation. However, existing lithium bromide heat pumps have separate condensers and generators, requiring significant space for installation. Furthermore, heat loss is inevitable during heat transfer between different devices, severely limiting the operating efficiency of lithium bromide heat pumps. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Waste heat source is introduced between the second and first metal heat exchange plates. Dilute lithium bromide solution is introduced between the first and first heat and mass transfer hollow fiber membrane plates, and between the second and second heat and mass transfer hollow fiber membrane plates. Water vapor is introduced between the first and third metal heat exchange plates, between the second and fourth metal heat exchange plates, between the fifth and corresponding leak-proof unit sealing plates, and between the sixth and corresponding leak-proof unit sealing plates. Circulating cooling water is introduced between the third and fifth metal heat exchange plates and between the sixth and fourth metal heat exchange plates.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the high-temperature waste heat medium inlet, the lithium bromide dilute solution inlet, and the circulating cooling water inlet on the top of the casing are arranged diagonally with the high-temperature waste heat medium outlet after work, the lithium bromide concentrated solution outlet, the pipe opening for the flowing water vapor two-phase flow, and the circulating cooling water outlet on the bottom of the casing.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that a narrow rectangular space is formed between two adjacent metal heat exchange plates, between the metal heat exchange plate and the heat and mass transfer hollow fiber membrane plate, and between the metal heat exchange plate and the leak-proof unit sealing plate.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that each metal heat exchange plate is a heat exchange plate with metal corrugations.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that each heat and mass transfer hollow fiber membrane plate is a polymer hydrophobic microporous membrane.

[0014] An absorption lithium bromide heat pump system based on an integrated generator-condenser, the system being based on the aforementioned hollow fiber membrane-based lithium bromide heat pump integrated composite generator-condenser, includes: a cooling tower, an absorber, an evaporator, and a heat exchanger.

[0015] The pipe opening for the two-phase flow of water vapor on the shell is connected to the condensate inlet of the evaporator, the low-pressure steam outlet of the evaporator is connected to the low-pressure steam inlet of the absorber, the circulating cooling water outlet on the shell is connected to the circulating cooling water inlet of the absorber, and the circulating cooling water outlet of the absorber is connected to the circulating cooling water inlet on the shell through the cooling tower.

It abandons the traditional separate arrangement of the generator and condenser in lithium bromide heat pumps, utilizing the properties of the hollow fiber membrane to integrate the two devices into a single unit. This avoids the transfer of media and energy between the devices, reducing material and energy losses and improving the coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump. Since the various media in the integrated integrated generator-condenser do not directly contact each other, the equipment operates more stably and is applicable to a wider range of waste heat sources. The flexible series-parallel modular arrangement of the unit groups in the integrated integrated generator-condenser can meet the waste heat utilization needs of different capacities.

[0023] The absorption lithium bromide heat pump system based on an integrated generator-condenser provided by this invention has a higher degree of equipment integration and is simpler and more reliable in composition compared to traditional systems. Compared to traditional absorption lithium bromide heat pump systems, this system significantly reduces the equipment's footprint and system layout space, which is beneficial for the miniaturization and flexible layout of absorption heat pump systems. It also has higher system efficiency compared to traditional lithium bromide absorption heat pumps.

[0024] In summary, this invention innovatively realizes an integrated composite generator-condenser based on hollow fiber membranes. By utilizing a plate heat exchanger and combining the heat and mass transfer characteristics of hollow fiber membranes, it can simultaneously function as both a generator and a condenser in a traditional lithium bromide absorption heat pump system. This significantly reduces heat loss during medium transfer between different devices, saves space required for equipment layout, and improves the system efficiency of the lithium bromide heat pump.

[0049] In this embodiment, each heat and mass transfer hollow fiber membrane is a polymer hydrophobic microporous membrane.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The absorption lithium bromide heat pump system based on an integrated generator-condenser provided in this embodiment includes: a cooling tower 25, an absorber 28, an evaporator 32, and a heat exchanger 39; a pipe 20 for the two-phase flow of water vapor on the casing is connected to the evaporator condensate inlet 31, the evaporator low-pressure steam outlet 35 is connected to the absorber low-pressure steam inlet 36, the circulating cooling water outlet 22 on the casing is connected to the absorber circulating cooling water inlet 29, and the absorber circulating cooling water outlet 27 is connected to the casing circulating cooling water inlet 21 via the cooling tower 25; the absorber lithium bromide dilute solution outlet 37 is connected to the heat exchanger lithium bromide dilute solution inlet 40, the heat exchanger lithium bromide dilute solution outlet 41 is connected to the casing lithium bromide dilute solution inlet 18, the casing lithium bromide concentrated solution outlet 19 is connected to the heat exchanger lithium bromide concentrated solution inlet 42, and the heat exchanger lithium bromide concentrated solution outlet 43 is connected to the absorber lithium bromide concentrated solution inlet 38.

[0052] In this embodiment, an expansion valve 30 is installed on the pipe connecting the port 20 of the two-phase flow of water vapor on the shell to the condensate inlet 31 of the evaporator.

[0053] In this embodiment, a circulating cooling water pump 26 is installed on the pipe connecting the absorber circulating cooling water outlet 27 to the cooling tower 25.

[0054] In this embodiment, the evaporator 32 is also provided with an evaporator chilled water inlet 33 and an evaporator chilled water outlet 34.

[0055] In this embodiment, during operation, it includes:

[0056] A dilute lithium bromide solution is pressurized by a pump from absorber 28, passes through heat exchanger 39, and enters the integrated composite generator-condenser 24. After being heated by the waste heat source, the dilute lithium bromide solution and the vapor condensate cooled by circulating cooling water on the other side of the heat and mass transfer hollow fiber membrane plate generate a vapor pressure difference. Through the membrane distillation effect, water vapor passes through the heat and mass transfer hollow fiber membrane plate to the other side. The lithium bromide solution is concentrated into a concentrated lithium bromide solution. The concentrated solution heats the opposite dilute lithium bromide solution through heat exchanger 39, and the cooled concentrated solution returns to absorber 28.

[0057] In this process, high-temperature steam is cooled into condensate by circulating cooling water. The condensate passes through expansion valve 30 and enters the extremely low-pressure evaporator 32, where it completes a working cycle with the chilled water system. The chilled water temperature is approximately 4°C, while the condensate in evaporator 32 is approximately 12°C. Heat is transferred between them through the pipe walls, causing the condensate to evaporate into gas under low pressure, carrying away a large amount of heat and completing the working process. All the evaporated condensate accumulates in the evaporator 32 chamber and is reintroduced into the near-vacuum absorber 28 for spraying, where it is rapidly mixed with the concentrated lithium bromide solution, becoming a dilute lithium bromide solution again for circulation.

[0058] The circulating cooling water that cools the steam in the integrated compound generator condenser 24 enters the cooling tower 25 for further cooling. It is then pumped into the absorber 28 to absorb the heat of reaction generated by the absorption of water molecules by the lithium bromide concentrated solution. The water then enters the integrated compound generator condenser 24 again to cool the steam, completing one cycle.

[0059] Compared to existing absorption lithium bromide heat pump technology, this invention adopts an integrated design, combining the generator and condenser into one device to form an integrated composite generator-condenser, thereby saving system layout space and improving the working efficiency of the lithium bromide heat pump.

[0060] Industrial waste heat serves as a high-temperature heat source to heat a dilute lithium bromide solution. The high temperature creates a vapor pressure difference between the dilute lithium bromide solution and water vapor on both sides of the hollow fiber membrane. Water vapor in the dilute lithium bromide solution passes through the porous hollow fiber membrane via membrane distillation. The water vapor transferred to the other side undergoes heat transfer with the circulating cooling water through a metal corrugated plate, condensing into condensate.

[0061] The condensate flows out of the integrated combined generator-condenser, where it undergoes heat transfer with chilled water in the vacuum evaporator. It then enters the absorber, where it is sprayed with a concentrated lithium bromide solution. The resulting diluted lithium bromide solution re-enters the integrated combined generator-condenser for circulation. The circulating cooling water for cooling the steam in the integrated combined generator-condenser passes through an air-cooled or other circulating water cooling system. Driven by a pump, it absorbs the heat generated by the concentrated lithium bromide spray in the absorber and re-enters the integrated combined generator-condenser for circulation.

[0062] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. 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 its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the scope of the invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0063] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
