Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste heat recovery technology, specifically to a waste heat recovery application system and control method suitable for steam exhaust. Background Technology

[0002] Industries such as food processing, pre-prepared meals, central kitchens, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals generate large amounts of low-grade steam and residual steam during production. Due to a lack of heat recovery systems suitable for these industries, this steam is collected by exhaust systems and directly released into the atmosphere, wasting energy and producing "white smoke" that pollutes the environment. Meanwhile, these industries require additional hot water and high-grade steam during production.

[0003] From the perspective of overall technology for waste heat recovery in the industrial sector, current waste heat recovery technologies mainly focus on the recovery and utilization of waste heat from high-temperature bulk materials and liquid slag, waste heat from dusty exhaust gases, and low-grade waste energy. The recovered heat is mainly used to provide domestic hot water, air conditioning, and heating. There are relatively few scenarios where it is used to supplement the overall process production of a project, and there is a mismatch between recovery and application in terms of time and space.

The integrated heat recovery application device enters the hot water operation mode.

[0038] When production is further reduced and the steam in the exhaust system continues to decrease, if the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor is less than 55°C and the duration exceeds the set time, then the first water pump, the second electric valve, and the third electric valve will be shut down, and the integrated heat recovery application device will enter the shutdown state.

The first water pump 2-4 is a variable frequency water pump, the second water pump 5-3 is a fixed frequency water pump, and the first electric valve 2-2, the second electric valve 2-3, and the third electric valve 4-3 are all on / off type electric valves.

[0091] In other embodiments, a control method for a waste heat recovery application system suitable for steam exhaust is provided. A waste heat recovery application system suitable for steam exhaust, based on any of the preceding embodiments, includes the following steps:

[0092] The integrated heat recovery application device is set with four operating modes: preheating mode, steam mode, hot water mode, and shutdown mode. When the production process requires the fan 1-5 of the integrated heat recovery device to collect low-grade steam and residual steam produced by the process, the first water pump 2-4 is interlocked and started. The motor of the first water pump 2-4 runs at 50HZ, and the first electric valve 2-2 and the second electric valve 2-3 are kept closed. The integrated heat recovery device recovers the waste heat of the waste steam and enters the preheating mode.

[0093] When the temperature data monitored by the first temperature sensor 2-6 is ≥65℃, the first electric valve 2-2 and the heat pump compressor 3-1 are opened. When the data monitored by the second temperature sensor d and the pressure sensor e reach the set parameters, the steam compressor 3-5 is opened to supply steam to the outside, and the integrated heat recovery application device enters the steam operation mode.

[0094] When the amount of steam in the exhaust system decreases due to reduced production, and the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor 2-6 is ≥55℃ and <65℃, the first electric valve 2-2, heat pump compressor 3-1, and steam compressor 3-5 are closed, the operating frequency of the first water pump 2-4 motor is adjusted to 30HZ, the second electric valve 2-3 and the third electric valve 4-3 are opened, hot water is supplied to the outside, and the integrated heat recovery application device enters the hot water operation mode.

[0095] When production is further reduced due to the process, the steam in the exhaust system continues to decrease, and the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor 2-6 is less than 55°C and the duration exceeds the set time, then the first water pump 2-4, the second electric valve 2-3, and the third electric valve 4-3 are shut down, and the integrated heat recovery application device enters the shutdown state.

[0096] The method of using this invention is as follows:

[0097] When the integrated heat recovery unit is in operation, steam exhaust enters through inlet device 1-1, flows through filter 1-2, is cooled by gas-liquid heat exchanger 1-3 to produce condensate, and then passes through baffle plate 1-4 and fan 1-5 in sequence, finally being discharged from outlet device 1-6. The condensate produced by the steam exhaust flows into water collection pan 1-7 and is discharged from condensate outlet 1-11 through connecting pipe.

[0098] Driven by the first water pump 2-4, the circulating medium circulates in the pipeline. After being heated at the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1-3, the medium enters the integrated heat recovery application device through the circulating medium outlet 1-10 and the circulating medium inlet 2-1. Depending on the temperature, it is utilized for heat recovery at the evaporator 3-4 or the first plate heat exchanger 4-2. After cooling, the medium flows back to the integrated heat recovery device through the circulating medium outlet 2-5 and the circulating medium inlet 1-9, where it is reheated in the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1-3 and begins the next cycle. The constant pressure water supply device 2-8 replenishes water and maintains pressure in the medium circulation system, with the water source connected through the constant pressure water supply interface 2-7.

[0099] The refrigerant in the water source heat pump steam generation system can be R245fa, R32, or other refrigerants that are suitable for the evaporation and condensation temperatures of this invention.

[0100] When the integrated heat recovery application device is in steam mode, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the circulating medium and evaporates in the evaporator 3-4. Then, it is adiabatically compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure steam by the heat pump compressor 3-1. It enters the heat exchange tube bundle b of the condensing hot steam generator 3-2 through the refrigerant inlet g and is cooled into high-temperature and high-pressure liquid. After being throttled and depressurized by the expansion valve 3-3, it flows into the evaporator 3-4 to continue absorbing heat from the circulating medium and evaporating.

[0101] In the condensing hot steam generator 3-2, the soft water is heated by high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant steam through the heat exchange tube bundle b to become a gas-liquid mixture. The soft water steam accumulates in the upper space of the generator shell a. When the soft water steam data monitored by the second temperature sensor d and pressure sensor e reach the set parameters, the steam compressor 3-5 is turned on for adiabatic pressurization and then supplies steam to the outside. The supplied steam can be connected to the overall steam supply system network of the project.

[0102] When the integrated heat recovery application device is in hot water operation, external ambient temperature water flows into the first plate heat exchanger 4-2 through the ambient temperature water interface 4-1, is heated, and then flows out through the low temperature hot water supply interface 4-4 to connect to the project's hot water tank or to make up for other types of steam generators in the project.

[0103] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.

When the data monitored by the second temperature sensor and pressure sensor reach the set parameters, the steam compressor is turned on to supply steam to the outside, and the integrated heat recovery application device enters the steam operation mode. When the amount of steam in the exhaust system decreases due to reduced production, and the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor is ≥55℃ and <65℃, the first electric valve, heat pump compressor, and steam compressor are shut off, the operating frequency of the first water pump motor is adjusted to 30HZ, the second electric valve and the third electric valve are opened, and hot water is supplied to the outside. The integrated heat recovery application device enters the hot water operation mode. When production is further reduced and the steam in the exhaust system continues to decrease, if the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor is less than 55°C and the duration exceeds the set time, then the first water pump, the second electric valve, and the third electric valve will be shut down, and the integrated heat recovery application device will enter the shutdown state.
