The performance coefficient COP is about 1.7, which can save 40% of energy consumption and realize the comprehensive utilization of energy. However, the outlet temperature of the medium-temperature heat source produced by it generally does not exceed 95°C. When the application site requires a high-temperature heat source, such as when the temperature of the high-temperature heat source is greater than 95°C, the conventional unit cannot meet the demand.

The evaporator A and the absorber A are arranged in the same cylinder as the evaporator B and the absorber B. The cylinder is placed in the lower part. The evaporator A and the absorber A are in a lowest pressure cavity, and the evaporator B and the absorber B are in another lower pressure cavity. Generator A and condenser A are arranged in the same cylinder as generator B and condenser B, and the cylinder is placed at the upper part; generator A and condenser A are in one high-pressure cavity, and generator B and condenser B are in another high-pressure cavity; An independent heat pump cycle A with low solution concentration is formed by a generator A, a condenser A, an evaporator A, an absorber A, a heat exchanger A, a solution pump A and a refrigerant pump A; An independent heat pump cycle B with high solution concentration is formed by a generator B, a condenser B, an evaporator B, an absorber B, a heat exchanger B, a solution pump B and a refrigerant pump B; The internal circulation medium-temperature hot water forms an internal circulation medium-temperature hot water system between absorber A and evaporator B through the internal circulation water pump.

[0005] Preferably, the two cavities of the lower cylinder are separated by a middle partition, the absorber A and the evaporator B are adjacent to each other at the middle partition, and the evaporator A and the absorber B are respectively arranged on the outside; The two cavities of the upper cylinder are also separated by a middle partition. Generator A and generator B are adjacent to each other at the middle partition. Condenser A and condenser B are respectively arranged on the outside. Liquid baffles are respectively arranged between generator A and condenser A and between generator B and condenser B.

[0006] Preferably, the high-temperature heat source is divided into two paths, one path enters condenser A, and the other path enters absorber B and condenser B in series in any order. The two high-temperature heat sources absorb heat and heat up before merging and flowing out of the unit.

[0008] Preferably, the high-temperature heat source is connected in series and enters absorber B, condenser B and condenser A in sequence, and the high-temperature heat source absorbs heat and the temperature rises before flowing out of the unit.

[0009] Preferably, the high-temperature heat source is connected in series and enters condenser A, condenser B and absorber B in sequence, and the high-temperature heat source absorbs heat and the temperature rises before flowing out of the unit.

[0010] Preferably, the heat sources are driven in parallel to enter generator A through electric regulating valve A and generator B through electric regulating valve B to heat the solution.

Through the above-mentioned new process and structural arrangement, the unit can produce high-temperature heat source and expand the application field. It has a compact structure and is suitable for occasions where a single machine is miniaturized. Due to the miniaturization of the single unit, the length, width and height of the unit are small, the pressure bearing capacity of the generator and condenser is improved, and the thermal displacement is very small. The high temperature and high pressure design conditions can be met without increasing the material cost. When the generator is driven by a high-quality driving heat source, the concentration of the concentrated solution of the generator is constant, the temperature of the concentrated solution and the generated pressure are increased, the temperature of the generated refrigerant vapor is increased, and the condensation temperature of the condenser is increased accordingly. After the high-temperature heat source absorbs the condensation heat of the high-temperature refrigerant vapor, the temperature is greatly increased, and a high-temperature heat source can be produced; evaporator A and absorber A transfer the recovered low-temperature waste heat source heat to the internal circulation medium-temperature hot water, so that the temperature of the internal circulation medium-temperature hot water is increased and then enters the evaporator B, the evaporation temperature of evaporator B is greatly increased, the absorption pressure is increased accordingly, and the absorption heat of the solution in absorber B is greatly increased, which greatly increases the temperature of the high-temperature heat source in the heat transfer tube of absorber B, and produces a high-temperature heat source of more than 95°C that cannot be produced by conventional units. For example: when the driving steam pressure is 0.8~1.0MPa.G and the waste heat source temperature is 50℃, the high-temperature heat source can be heated from 105℃ to 115℃, and the performance coefficient is above 1.32. This case is used in process production to recycle low-temperature waste heat and save high-quality driving heat source consumption. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] See also Figure 2 The present invention relates to a compact first-class lithium bromide absorption heat pump unit for preparing a high-temperature heat source, comprising a generator A37, a condenser A36, a generator B32, a condenser B33, an evaporator A20, an absorber A21, an evaporator B25, an absorber B26, a heat exchanger A22, a heat exchanger B27, a solution pump A19, a refrigerant pump A18, a solution pump B24, a refrigerant pump B23, an internal circulation water pump 16, an internal circulation medium-temperature hot water system 17, and pipelines, valves and a control system connecting the various components. The evaporator A20 and the absorber A21 are arranged in the same cylinder, and the cylinder is placed in the lower part. They are separated by a middle partition. The evaporator A20 and the absorber A21 are in a minimum pressure cavity. The evaporator A20 and the absorber A21 are in a minimum pressure cavity. The evaporator B25 and the absorber B26 are in another lower pressure cavity, and the absorber A21 and the evaporator B25 are adjacent to each other at the middle partition, and the evaporator A20 and the absorber B26 are respectively arranged on the outside; the generator A37, the condenser A36, the generator B32 and the condenser B33 are arranged in the same cylinder, and the cylinder is placed at the upper part, and they are separated by the middle partition, the generator A37 and the condenser A36 are in a high pressure cavity, the generator B32 and the condenser B33 are in another high pressure cavity, liquid baffles are respectively arranged between the generator A37 and the condenser A36, and between the generator B32 and the condenser B33, and the generator A37 and the generator B32 are adjacent to each other at the middle partition, and the condenser A36 and the condenser B33 are respectively arranged on the outside.

[0020] An independent heat pump cycle A with low solution concentration is composed of generator A37, condenser A36, evaporator A20, absorber A21, heat exchanger A22, solution pump A19 and refrigerant pump A18; an independent heat pump cycle B with high solution concentration is composed of generator B32, condenser B33, evaporator B25, absorber B26, heat exchanger B27, solution pump B24 and refrigerant pump B23.

[0021] The heat pump cycle A and the heat pump cycle B are connected together through the internal circulation medium-temperature hot water system 17 and the external system. The high-grade driving heat source enters the heat transfer tube of the generator A37 through the electric regulating valve A28 and the heat transfer tube of the generator B32 through the electric regulating valve B29 in parallel, and heats the solution outside the heat transfer tube of the generator A37 and the heat transfer tube of the generator B32 respectively to condense and generate refrigerant steam. The high-grade driving heat source releases heat and is discharged from the unit; the low-temperature waste heat source enters the heat transfer tube of the evaporator A20 to heat the refrigerant outside the tube. The water evaporates the heat of the low-temperature waste heat source and then flows out of the unit; the internal circulation medium-temperature hot water is pumped into the absorber A21 heat transfer tube by the internal circulation water pump 16, and the absorption heat of the solution outside the tube is absorbed to increase the temperature. After the temperature is increased, the internal circulation medium-temperature hot water enters the evaporator B25 heat transfer tube to release heat and cool down. After being lifted by the internal circulation water pump 16, it continues to enter the absorber A21 heat transfer tube to increase the temperature and the evaporator B heat transfer tube to cool down, forming an internal circulation medium-temperature hot water system 17, which is supplied by the external internal circulation water constant pressure replenishment water 15. The high-temperature heat source 11 is divided into two paths, one of which enters the condenser A36 heat transfer tube through the high-temperature heat source regulating valve C14 to absorb the condensation heat, and the other path is connected in series to first enter the absorber B26 heat transfer tube to absorb the absorption heat of the solution outside the tube, and then enter the condenser B33 heat transfer tube to absorb the condensation heat of the refrigerant vapor outside the tube. After the high-temperature heat source absorbs heat, the temperature rises, and they merge together and flow out of the machine, thereby obtaining a higher temperature high-temperature heat source. The high-temperature heat source regulating valve C14 is used to adjust the flow of the high-temperature heat source entering the heat transfer tube of condenser A36 to ensure that the temperature of the high-temperature heat source produced by heat pump cycle A and heat pump cycle B is the same.

[0022] like Figure 3 The present invention relates to another compact first-class lithium bromide absorption heat pump unit for preparing high-temperature heat source. The high-temperature heat source regulating valve C and corresponding branch pipelines are not provided. The high-temperature heat source 11 is connected in series and first enters the absorber B26 heat transfer tube to absorb the absorption heat of the solution outside the tube, then enters the condenser B33 heat transfer tube to absorb the condensation heat of the refrigerant vapor outside the tube, and finally enters the condenser A36 heat transfer tube to absorb the condensation heat. After the high-temperature heat source absorbs heat and the temperature rises, it flows out of the machine, thereby obtaining a high-temperature heat source with a higher temperature.

[0023] like Figure 4 The present invention relates to another compact first-class lithium bromide absorption heat pump unit for preparing high-temperature heat source. The high-temperature heat source regulating valve C and corresponding branch pipelines are not provided. The high-temperature heat source is connected in series and first enters the heat transfer tube of condenser A to absorb condensation heat, then enters the heat transfer tube of condenser B to absorb condensation heat of refrigerant vapor outside the tube, and finally enters the heat transfer tube of absorber B to absorb absorption heat of solution outside the tube. After the high-temperature heat source absorbs heat and the temperature rises, it flows out of the machine, thereby obtaining a high-temperature heat source with a higher temperature.

[0024] The working principle of heat pump cycle A and heat pump cycle B is the same. The solution pump lifts the dilute solution in the absorber and heats it up through the heat exchanger and sends it to the generator. The high-quality driving heat source in the heat transfer tube of the generator heats it and concentrates it into a concentrated solution, while generating refrigerant vapor. The refrigerant vapor enters the condenser and is condensed into refrigerant water. Its latent heat is absorbed and taken away by the high-temperature heat source in the heat transfer tube. After the refrigerant water enters the evaporator through throttling and pressure reduction, it is lifted by the refrigerant pump and sprayed on the surface of the evaporator heat transfer tube. The refrigerant water absorbs the heat of the waste heat in the tube and evaporates into refrigerant vapor at a low temperature. After the waste heat temperature is reduced, it flows into the unit. The concentrated solution is cooled by the pressure difference and height difference through the heat exchanger and flows into the absorber by gravity. It is sprayed on the surface of the absorber heat transfer tube through the liquid distributor. On the one hand, the concentrated solution absorbs the refrigerant vapor generated by the evaporator and becomes a dilute solution itself. On the other hand, it transfers the heat released when absorbing the refrigerant vapor to the high-temperature heat source to be produced.

[0025] The driving heat source can be steam, heat transfer oil, or other heat sources, the low-temperature waste heat source can be exhaust steam, water or other heat sources, and the high-temperature heat source can be hot water, chemical materials, etc.

[0026] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention also includes other implementation modes. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
