[0037] Example:

[0038] A combined cooling and heating system based on the cascade utilization of waste heat from converter valves, such as Figure 1-2As shown, the system includes a filter E-4, a converter valve E-1, a degassing tank E-2, a main circulating water pump E-3, a first-pass electric gate valve V-1, a second-pass electric gate valve V-2, and an electric three-way valve V-3 connected in sequence. The two ends of the electric three-way valve V-3 are connected in series with the absorption refrigeration system and the spray water system through an electric regulating valve V-10 and a first one-way valve V-11, respectively. The two ends of the first-pass electric gate valve V-1 are connected to the air-cooling system, and the two ends of the second-pass electric gate valve V-2 are connected to the radiant heating system. The two ends of the converter valve E-1 are connected to the auxiliary circulation loop. The air-cooling system and the spray water system are used to reduce the internal cooling water temperature of the main circulation loop. The auxiliary circulation loop is used to replenish the water volume of the main circulation loop and stabilize the water pressure. The radiant heating system is used to recover the heat from the main circulation loop and provide radiant heating to the rooms of the building.

[0039] By employing the above-mentioned technical means:

[0040] Make full use of the waste heat generated by the converter valve to reduce energy waste, heat outdoor pipes and equipment that need heating in winter, prevent the cold water temperature inside the pipes or equipment from dropping below 0°C due to low ambient temperature, which could cause the pipes to freeze and crack, provide radiant heating for rooms that need heating in winter, and use absorption refrigeration systems to cool rooms in buildings that need cooling.

[0041] In one possible implementation, a degassing tank E-2 is installed at the outlet end of the converter valve E-1 and the inlet end of the main circulating water pump E-3 in the main circulation loop. A first electric gate valve V-1, a second electric gate valve V-2, an electric three-way valve V-3, an electric regulating valve V-10, a first check valve V-11, and a filter E-4 are installed at the inlet end of the converter valve E-1 and the outlet end of the main circulating water pump E-3.

The first electric gate valve V-1, the second electric gate valve V-2, and the electric three-way valve V-3 are used to change the direction of water flow within the system. The electric regulating valve V-10 is used to regulate the amount of internal cooling water. The first check valve V-11 is used to prevent backflow of water in the pipeline. The filter E-4 is used to treat impurities in the water.

[0042] In one possible implementation, a No. 1 electric gate valve V-1 and a No. 2 electric gate valve V-2 are installed on the main circulation loop, a No. 1 electric butterfly valve V-4 is installed on the main line of the air-cooled system, a No. 2 electric butterfly valve V-12 is installed on the main line of the spray water system, and a valve V-7 is installed on one side of the plate heat exchanger E-12 of the radiant heating system.

[0043] like Figure 1 and2 As shown, the internal cooling water temperature of the main circulation loop of the heat exchange valve is 40-45℃. In winter, in order to prevent the water temperature inside the outdoor pipes and equipment from falling below 0℃, the No. 1 electric gate valve V-1 is closed, allowing the internal cooling water in the main circulation loop to flow into the air-cooled system. The air-cooled heat exchanger E-11 raises the outdoor air temperature and transfers it to the outdoor pipes and equipment through the heat transfer pipe for preheating. At this time, after heat exchange, the internal cooling water temperature can be reduced to 35-40℃.

[0044] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in order to make full use of the waste heat of the converter valve, the No. 2 electric gate valve V-2 is closed in winter, and the electric three-way valve V-3 is connected to the filter E-4. The cooling water in the converter valve, with a temperature of 35-40℃, exchanges heat with the radiant heating system through the plate heat exchanger E-12. The temperature drops to 25-30℃ and then returns to the main circulation loop. After receiving heat, the radiant heating system radiates heat to the rooms of the building through the underground coil S-1.

The electric three-way valve V-3 is connected to the plate heat exchanger E-18. The internal cooling water of the main circulation loop exchanges heat with the absorption refrigeration system through the plate heat exchanger E-18, and the temperature drops to 30-35℃. Then, it is cooled down again to 20-25℃ by the spray water system and returns to the main circulation loop.

[0047] One end of generator E-19 is connected to plate heat exchanger E-18, and the other end of generator E-19 is connected to absorber E-20. Generator E-19 is used to absorb heat from plate heat exchanger E-18 to heat the working fluid of absorption refrigeration system, i.e., refrigerant-absorbent solution, to boiling point. The refrigerant with a low boiling point is vaporized to form a high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. Absorber E-20 is used to release heat to the outside and absorb the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant with liquid absorbent.

[0048] In one possible implementation, a solution pump E-21 and a pressure reducing valve V-14 are provided between the generator E-19 and the absorber E-20.

[0049] Generator E-19 is connected to condenser E-22, absorber E-20 is connected to evaporator E-23, and expansion valve V-13 is installed between condenser E-22 and evaporator E-23. Condenser E-22 is used to release heat to the outside to liquefy the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant from generator E-19. Expansion valve V-13 is used to reduce the pressure and temperature of refrigerant. Evaporator E-23 is used to absorb heat from the outside to vaporize refrigerant into low-pressure vapor.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the air-cooled system includes an air-cooled heat exchanger E-11. One end of the air-cooled heat exchanger E-11 is equipped with a first electric butterfly valve V-4 and a first temperature sensor T-1.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the spray water system is a non-closed circulating water system, comprising a spray tower E-24, a spray pump E-25, a buffer tank, a dosing pump E-26, a water treatment tank, a second electric butterfly valve V-12, a seventh temperature sensor T-7, and a eighth temperature sensor T-8. The spray tower E-24 is equipped with a spray device and a variable frequency cooling fan. The spray device uses spray water to cool the internal cooling water from the valve chamber, and the variable frequency cooling fan is used to cool the water during the process. The generated steam is discharged. Two spray pumps E-25 are installed, one for operation and one for standby, to transport spray water to spray tower E-24. The raw water is treated with chemicals in the water treatment tank to ensure that the external cooling water quality meets the standards. Two makeup water pumps E-26 are installed, one for operation and one for standby. When the water level in the buffer tank is low, makeup water pump E-26 is turned on. Electric butterfly valve V-12 is used to facilitate pipeline maintenance. Temperature sensor T-7 and temperature sensor T-8 are used to monitor water temperature.

[0053] In one possible implementation, a filter E-6 is provided at the outlet end of the ion exchanger E-8 in the auxiliary circulation loop, and an expansion tank E-5 and a nitrogen tank E-6 are provided at the outlet end of the filter E-6. The ion exchanger E-8 and the filter E-6 are used to treat impurities in a portion of the water in the main circulation loop, and the expansion tank E-5 and the nitrogen tank E-6 are used to buffer changes in the water volume of the main circulation loop, while isolating air and maintaining constant pressure.

[0054] The inlet bypass of ion exchanger E-8 is equipped with a water supply pump E-9 and a water supply tank E-10. Two water supply pumps E-9 are provided, one for use and one for standby, to replenish the system with water from the water supply tank E-10.

One end of the plate heat exchanger E-12 is equipped with a third electric butterfly valve V-7, a third check valve V-8, an electric regulating valve V-9, a third temperature sensor T-3, and a fourth temperature sensor T-4. The other end of the plate heat exchanger E-12 is equipped with a heat recovery circulation pump E-14 and a filter E-13. The third electric butterfly valve V-7 is used to facilitate pipeline maintenance, the third check valve V-8 is used to prevent water backflow, the electric regulating valve V-9 is used to regulate the water volume in the pipeline, the temperature sensors T-3 and T-4 are used to monitor changes in water temperature in the pipeline, the heat recovery circulation pump E-14 is used to provide power to the radiant heating system, and the filter E-13 is used to remove impurities from the water in the radiant heating system.

[0056] In one possible implementation, a water replenishment circuit is provided between the plate heat exchanger E-12 and the heat recovery circulation pump E-14. The water replenishment circuit includes a water replenishment tank E-15, a water replenishment pump E-16, and an expansion tank E-17. The water replenishment tank E-15 is used to replenish the water lost due to leakage from pipes, valves, and other equipment during the operation of the radiant heating system. The water replenishment pump E-16 is used to provide power to the radiant heating system. The expansion tank E-17 is used to store water.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the plate heat exchanger E-12 transfers the heat generated by the operation of the system's converter valve to the rooms of the building where the underground coil S-1 is pre-embedded during the heating season. The underground coil S-1 then dissipates the heat into the rooms via radiant heating.

[0058] In one possible implementation, temperature sensors T-1 and T-2 are installed at the inlet and outlet ends of air-cooled heat exchanger E-11, respectively; temperature sensors T-3 and T-4 are installed at the inlet and outlet ends of plate heat exchanger E-12, respectively; and temperature sensors T-5 and T-6 are installed at the inlet and outlet ends of plate heat exchanger E-18, respectively. These sensors are used to detect water temperature and ensure the final cooling effect.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the material of the underground coil S-1 should be heat-resistant, pressure-resistant, oxidation-resistant, corrosion-resistant, leak-proof, and not easily damaged, with a long service life. PE-X, PE-RT, PB, and aluminum-plastic composite pipes can be considered. The radiant air conditioning system only requires 30-35℃ in winter, utilizing low-quality heat energy at around 35℃ for heating, improving the comfort of rooms in the building. In the radiant heating system, low-temperature water from rooms in the building absorbs heat from the plate heat exchanger E-12, and its temperature rises. The heated hot water is then driven by the heat recovery circulation pump E-14 into the underground coil S-1 in the rooms for comfortable heating.

[0060] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the radiant heating system is equipped with a water supply tank E-15, a water supply pump E-16, and an expansion tank E-17 for water supply and pressure stabilization. The water supply circuit includes the water supply tank E-15 located at the outlet of the underground coil S-1, the water supply pump E-16 located at the outlet of the water supply tank E-15 to regulate the water flow, and the expansion tank E-17 for storing water. The water supply circuit can realize functions such as pressure stabilization, automatic water supply, automatic air venting, automatic water discharge, and automatic overpressure protection for the system.

[0061] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, temperature sensor T-7 (No. 7) and temperature sensor T-8 (No. 8) are installed at the inlet and outlet of the spray water system, respectively, to monitor the water temperature and ensure the final cooling effect. The final temperature of the water flowing back to the converter valve bridge arm is 20-25℃.

[0062] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, generator E-19 absorbs heat from the converter valve, causing its temperature to rise and heating the working fluid within it. The low-boiling-point refrigerant vaporizes into a high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which then enters condenser E-22. The high-temperature, high-pressure absorbent, after being throttled and depressurized by expansion valve V-14, becomes a low-pressure liquid. In condenser E-22, the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat to the cooling water and condenses into a liquid state. The cooling water is then cooled by spraying in the cooling tower. The liquid refrigerant, after being depressurized and cooled by expansion valve V-13, enters evaporator E-23, where it absorbs heat from the chilled water and vaporizes into low-pressure refrigerant vapor. The chilled water exchanges heat with the heat exchanger, transferring cooling capacity to the user. The low-pressure refrigerant vapor enters absorber E-20 and is absorbed by the low-temperature, low-pressure absorbent. Both are then pressurized by solution pump E-21 and sent back to generator E-19, thus completing the cycle.

[0063] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
