[0021] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, a copper foil factory copper sulfate waste heat recovery device 100 includes: a first heat exchange device 1, a second heat exchange device 2 and a first heat pump system 3.

The first heat pump system 3 is connected to the first heat exchange outlet 12.

[0022] The copper foil factory copper sulfate waste heat recovery device 100 is provided with a first heat exchange device 1 and a second heat exchange device 2 connected in series. The copper sulfate solution enters the first heat exchange device 1 for heat exchange treatment. After the solution reaches the required temperature, it enters the first heat pump system 3 for use. The first heat pump system 3 can use the heat energy for temperature regulation of some indoor thermostatic controls. The remaining copper sulfate solution after heat recovery will enter the second heat exchange device 2 for heat exchange treatment. The remaining copper sulfate solution will be effectively cooled and recovered through the copper sulfate solution return line 5. This heat recovery method can not only recycle waste heat for reuse, but also reduce the energy consumption of cooling and cooling, fully realizing energy conservation and environmental protection, and meeting the production process requirements.

According to the heat supply demand, the heat exchange treatment solution entering the first heat pump system 3 and the second heat pump system 6 can be selectively adjusted to achieve optimal energy scheduling.

[0024] The copper foil factory copper sulfate waste heat recovery device 100 also includes a first water pump 71, a second water pump 72 and a regulating pipeline 73. The water inlet end of the first water pump 71 is connected to the first heat exchange outlet end 12, and the water outlet end of the first water pump 71 is connected to the first heat pump system 3. The regulating pipeline 73 is used to connect the first heat pump system 3 and the second heat pump system 6. The water inlet end of the second water pump 72 is connected to the external water pipe system, and the water outlet end of the second water pump 72 is connected to the regulating pipeline 73. A two-way heat recovery system can be formed, which can be switched according to the heating needs.

[0025] In order to ensure that the flow rate of heat recovery is more accurate, the copper foil factory copper sulfate waste heat recovery device 100 also includes a first stop valve 81, a second stop valve 82 and a branch line 83. The first stop valve 81 is provided on the connecting pipeline between the water outlet of the first water pump 71 and the first heat pump system 3, and is used to control and adjust the heat recovery flow rate provided to the first heat pump system 3.

Considering that maintenance and failure may occur in the later stage, the coordinated setting of the heat pump system and the cooling tower group 91 can meet the switching to the original mode of heat recovery through the heat pump and cooling tower to ensure the stability of the system.

[0027] See also Figure 2 The present invention also discloses a copper foil factory copper sulfate waste heat recovery control system, the control system includes an energy efficiency control unit, a frequency conversion control unit, a detection sensor unit, a flow control valve group and the copper foil factory copper sulfate waste heat recovery device 100 as described above. The frequency conversion control unit includes a water pump frequency converter and a cooling frequency converter, the water pump frequency converter is used to adjust the working frequency of the first water pump 71, the second water pump 72 and the third water pump 92, and the cooling frequency converter is used to adjust the working frequency of the cooling tower group 91.

The energy efficiency control unit can adjust the working parameters of the water pump frequency converter, the cooling frequency converter and the flow control valve group according to the data detected by the detection sensor unit and in combination with the specific needs of heat recovery energy.

[0028] It is understandable that the energy efficiency control unit is responsible for monitoring the overall energy efficiency status of the system and adjusting the operating mode of each device according to actual needs. The energy efficiency control unit is connected to the frequency conversion control unit, the detection sensor unit and the flow control valve group by wireless communication to form an intelligent control system. Wireless communication protocols include: Wi-Fi, which is suitable for scenarios requiring higher data transmission speed and range; Zigbee, which is suitable for low power consumption and short-distance transmission, and is suitable for communication between devices in the control system. The frequency conversion control unit is used to adjust the operating speed of the water pump and the cooling tower, and control power consumption and system load by adjusting the frequency. The energy efficiency control unit adjusts the operating speed of the water pump and the cooling tower according to the real-time load demand to achieve optimal energy efficiency. The flow control valve group controls the flow and pressure of the fluid, and the energy efficiency control unit adjusts the valve switch state according to the changes in the system load to achieve energy saving effects.

[0029] Data collection: Real-time monitoring of the working status of water pump inverters, cooling tower inverters and valves through wireless communication, including power consumption, flow, temperature, pressure and other parameters.

[0030] Data analysis and optimization: The energy efficiency control unit uses optimization algorithms to adjust the operating mode of the equipment and optimize energy efficiency based on real-time data analysis.

[0031] Control strategy: According to the system requirements, the energy efficiency control unit needs to have an intelligent control strategy. For example, it can automatically adjust the working status of the water pump and cooling tower according to the indoor temperature or cooling load, or adjust the valve switch according to the changes in flow and pressure.

[0032] In one embodiment, the first heat exchange device 1 and the second heat exchange device 2 may be plate heat exchangers.

[0033] Regarding the verification of recovered heat, considering the heat loss of the plate heat exchanger, it is more accurate to consider the heat exchange from the cooling water side. The flow rate of a single heat exchanger circulation pump is 350m³ / h, the frequency is 30Hz, and the flow rate after frequency conversion is 210m³ / h. In winter, the average supply water temperature of cooling water is 34℃, the return water temperature is 25℃, and the circulating heat dissipation is 2205KW, which exceeds the rated heat of the heat pump and meets the reheating requirements.

[0034] Regarding the reheat temperature requirement, the air temperature of the constant temperature and humidity wind cabinet after dehumidification in summer is relatively low, with the lowest being around 12°C. The reheat temperature only needs to be ≥30°C to meet the reheat requirement of the constant temperature and humidity wind cabinet. In winter, the constant temperature and humidity wind cabinet can be maintained above 45°C to meet the heating demand, and the supply temperature of the copper sulfate solution is above 57°C, which fully meets the requirement of above 45°C after heat exchange by the plate heat exchanger.

[0035] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0036] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations, substitutions and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these should all be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the claims.
