[0007] The cooling water module includes a cooling water pump, a cooling tower and a pipeline, which is used to cool the heat generated by the variable frequency host during the refrigeration process;

[0008] The hot water storage tank is used to store hot water recovered from the heat recovery heat exchanger; the hot water circulation pump is used to extract hot water from the hot water storage tank and transport it to the area or equipment that needs to be heated;

[0009] The hot water control module includes a temperature sensor, a flow sensor and a controller, which are used to monitor the temperature and flow parameters of hot water when it flows in the system, and adjust the speed of the hot water circulation pump and the heating or cooling effect of the hot water storage tank according to actual needs.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, an air conditioning box is included, which includes a fresh air section, a primary filter section, a heating section, an evaporation section and a fan outlet section. The air conditioning box is responsible for delivering the treated air into the warehouse.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, a three-way regulating valve is included. The three-way regulating valve is installed between the hot water circulation pump and the heating section of the air-conditioning box and is used to adjust the flow of hot water entering the air-conditioning box.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, an expansion water tank is included, which is connected to the cooling water module and the hot water circulation pump through pipelines. The expansion water tank is used to absorb the expansion of the cooling water module and the hot water circulation pump caused by temperature changes during operation.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, a water replenishment module is included, which includes a water replenishment pump, a water replenishment valve and a water tank. The water replenishment module is connected to the cooling water module and the hot water circulation pump through a pipeline to replenish the water lost due to evaporation and leakage.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present invention, a safety valve is installed at the highest point of the cooling water module and the hot water circulation pump, which is used to automatically release the pressure when the system pressure is too high to ensure the safety of the system.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, an exhaust valve is included, and the exhaust valve is used to exhaust the air in the cooling water module and the hot water circulation pump to prevent air blocking from affecting system performance.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, a communication module is included, and the communication module is used to realize communication between the system and a host computer or a remote monitoring center, so as to facilitate remote monitoring and fault diagnosis.

[0017] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the second embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for heat recovery and reuse, including heat recovery and utilization in cooling mode and heat recovery and utilization in heating mode, wherein:

[0018] There are three steps in cooling mode:

[0019] A1. Refrigeration cycle start-up and condensation heat recovery;

[0020] The inverter host starts the refrigeration cycle, and the refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the evaporator, which reduces the air temperature in the warehouse. The gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor into a high-temperature and high-pressure state and then enters the condenser. In the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat to the surrounding environment and condenses into a liquid state. At this time, the heat recovery heat exchanger starts to work. It is installed between the outlet of the inverter host condenser and the cooling water module. It uses high-efficiency heat exchange plates to transfer the condensation heat released by the refrigerant to the cooling water. The cooling water absorbs heat in the heat recovery heat exchanger and its temperature rises, and then enters the cooling water pump of the cooling water module;

[0021] A2. Cooling water circulation and heat storage;

[0022] The cooling water pump pressurizes and delivers the heated cooling water to the cooling tower. The cooling tower lowers the temperature of the cooling water through heat exchange with the outside air. Part of the cooled water flows back to the heat recovery heat exchanger to continue absorbing the condensation heat. The other part can be discharged or recycled according to the actual situation after meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the system. At the same time, the heated water flowing out of the cold side of the heat recovery heat exchanger enters the hot water storage tank for storage, realizing the recovery and preliminary storage of the condensation heat.

[0023] A3. Hot water utilization and air conditioning box pre-cooling adjustment;

[0024] When the paint warehouse needs to be heated, the hot water circulation pump starts to pump out the hot water in the hot water storage tank. The hot water first passes through the hot water control module, where the temperature sensor and flow sensor monitor the temperature and flow parameters of the hot water in real time and transmit the data to the controller. The controller adjusts the speed of the hot water circulation pump according to the preset control strategy and actual needs to control the flow and pressure of the hot water. The hot water passes through the three-way regulating valve and adjusts the appropriate hot water flow according to the temperature demand of the warehouse to enter the heating section of the air-conditioning box. In the air-conditioning box, the hot water exchanges heat with the incoming fresh air to preheat the air. After the air temperature is increased, it is sent to the warehouse, realizing the reuse of heat energy. At the same time, in the evaporation section of the air-conditioning box, the cold energy generated by the variable frequency host evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the air to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the air sent to the warehouse meet the requirements;

[0025] There are three steps in heating mode:

[0026] B1. Heating cycle start-up and heat recovery preparation;

[0027] The inverter host switches to heating mode. At this time, the refrigerant circulates in reverse, absorbs heat outdoors, and then enters the indoor unit to release heat, raising the air temperature in the warehouse. During the process of heating the air in the heating section of the air conditioner, the hot water temperature gradually decreases, and low-temperature hot water flows out from the heating section of the air conditioner.

[0028] B2. Low-temperature hot water heat recovery and storage;

[0029] The low-temperature hot water flowing out of the heating section of the air-conditioning box enters the hot side of the heat recovery heat exchanger. At this time, the cooling water on the cold side of the heat recovery heat exchanger exchanges heat with the low-temperature hot water on the hot side. The heat of the low-temperature hot water is transferred to the cooling water, the cooling water temperature increases, and the low-temperature hot water temperature further decreases and then flows back to the hot water storage tank;

[0030] B3. System heat balance and optimal utilization;

[0031] After the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank drops, it can be pumped out and utilized again by the hot water circulation pump according to actual conditions. At the same time, after the cooling water absorbs the heat of the low-temperature hot water, the increased temperature cooling water can be directed to other equipment or areas that need preheating, such as preheating some pipes or equipment when starting in winter, thereby improving the overall energy utilization efficiency of the system.

[0032] To achieve the above objectives, a third aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor and a computer program stored in the memory, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the above-mentioned heat energy recovery and reuse method is implemented.

[0033] The heat energy recovery and reuse system, method and electronic device of the embodiments of the present invention can convert the heat energy released by the air-conditioning variable frequency host during the condensation process into hot water, thereby realizing the secondary utilization of energy and reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Moreover, the recovered hot water can be used for a variety of purposes, such as heating, hot water supply, etc., thereby reducing the energy cost of the enterprise. The efficient operation and intelligent control of the system improve the energy utilization efficiency and further enhance the economic benefits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, a three-way regulating valve is included.

In addition, the intelligent design of the system makes it more convenient and reliable to operate, and is suitable for various buildings and industrial applications that require efficient energy management.

[0052] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of a heat energy recovery and reuse method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat energy recovery and reuse system includes two situations: heat energy recovery and utilization in cooling mode and heat energy recovery and utilization in heating mode, wherein:

[0054] There are three steps in cooling mode:

[0055] A1. Refrigeration cycle start-up and condensation heat recovery;

[0056] The inverter host starts the refrigeration cycle, and the refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the evaporator, which reduces the air temperature in the warehouse. The gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor into a high-temperature and high-pressure state and then enters the condenser. In the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat to the surrounding environment and condenses into a liquid state. At this time, the heat recovery heat exchanger starts to work. It is installed between the outlet of the inverter host condenser and the cooling water module. It uses high-efficiency heat exchange plates to transfer the condensation heat released by the refrigerant to the cooling water. The cooling water absorbs heat in the heat recovery heat exchanger and its temperature rises, and then enters the cooling water pump of the cooling water module;

[0057] A2. Cooling water circulation and heat storage;

[0058] The cooling water pump pressurizes and delivers the heated cooling water to the cooling tower. The cooling tower lowers the cooling water temperature through heat exchange with the outside air. Part of the cooled water flows back to the heat recovery heat exchanger to continue absorbing the condensation heat. The other part can be discharged or recycled according to the actual situation after meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the system. At the same time, the heated water (at this time, the temperature is relatively high but lower than the condensation temperature of the refrigerant) flowing out of the cold side of the heat recovery heat exchanger enters the hot water storage tank for storage, realizing the recovery and preliminary storage of the condensation heat.

[0059] A3. Hot water utilization and air conditioning box pre-cooling adjustment;

[0060] When the paint warehouse needs to be heated, the hot water circulation pump starts to pump out the hot water in the hot water storage tank. The hot water first passes through the hot water control module, where the temperature sensor and flow sensor monitor the temperature and flow parameters of the hot water in real time and transmit the data to the controller. The controller adjusts the speed of the hot water circulation pump according to the preset control strategy and actual needs to control the flow and pressure of the hot water. The hot water passes through the three-way regulating valve and adjusts the appropriate hot water flow according to the temperature demand of the warehouse to enter the heating section of the air-conditioning box. In the air-conditioning box, the hot water exchanges heat with the incoming fresh air to preheat the air. After the air temperature is increased, it is sent to the warehouse, realizing the reuse of heat energy. At the same time, in the evaporation section of the air-conditioning box, the cold energy generated by the variable frequency host evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the air to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the air sent to the warehouse meet the requirements;

[0061] There are three steps in heating mode:

[0062] B1. Heating cycle start-up and heat recovery preparation;

[0063] The inverter host switches to heating mode. At this time, the refrigerant circulates in reverse, absorbs heat outdoors, and then enters the indoor unit to release heat, raising the air temperature in the warehouse. During the process of heating the air in the heating section of the air conditioner, the hot water temperature gradually decreases, and low-temperature hot water flows out from the heating section of the air conditioner.

[0064] B2. Low-temperature hot water heat recovery and storage;

[0065] The low-temperature hot water flowing out of the heating section of the air-conditioning box enters the hot side of the heat recovery heat exchanger. At this time, the cooling water (relatively low temperature) on the cold side of the heat recovery heat exchanger exchanges heat with the low-temperature hot water on the hot side. The heat of the low-temperature hot water is transferred to the cooling water, the cooling water temperature increases, and the low-temperature hot water temperature is further reduced and then flows back to the hot water storage tank. In this process, the heat energy in the low-temperature hot water discharged from the air-conditioning box is recovered, reducing the waste of heat energy.

[0066] B3. System heat balance and optimal utilization;

[0067] After the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank drops, it can be pumped out and utilized again by the hot water circulation pump according to actual conditions. For example, if an area in the warehouse requires additional heating, the hot water circulation pump can transport the hot water to the cooling equipment in that area for heating. At the same time, after the cooling water absorbs the heat of the low-temperature hot water, the increased temperature cooling water can be directed to other equipment or areas that need preheating, such as preheating some pipes or equipment when starting in winter, thereby improving the overall energy utilization efficiency of the system.

[0068] In addition, this method also takes into account the pressure and water level control during system operation. The expansion water tank in the system is connected to the cooling water module and the hot water circulation pump through pipes. During the operation of the system, when the cooling water and hot water expand or contract due to temperature changes, the expansion water tank acts as a buffer to absorb the expansion and prevent the system pressure from being too high and damaging the equipment. The water replenishment module monitors the water level of cooling water and hot water in real time during the operation of the system. When the water level drops to a certain level due to evaporation, leakage, etc., the water replenishment pump starts and draws an appropriate amount of water from the water tank through the water replenishment valve to replenish the system to ensure the normal operation of the system.

[0069] It should be noted that the safety valve installed at the highest point of the cooling water module and the hot water circulation pump monitors the system pressure at all times. When the pressure exceeds the set safety value, the safety valve automatically opens to release the pressure to ensure the safe operation of the system. The exhaust valve regularly removes the air in the cooling water module and the hot water circulation pump to prevent air blockage from affecting the water flow and heat exchange efficiency. The communication module realizes the communication connection between the system and the host computer or remote monitoring center, and transmits the system operation status data (such as temperature, pressure, flow, etc.) to the monitoring center in real time, so that the operator can remotely monitor the operation of the system. Once the system fails or is abnormal, the monitoring center can receive the alarm information in time, diagnose the fault according to the data, and quickly take corresponding measures to repair it.

[0070] In cooling mode, this method can efficiently recover the condensation heat discharged by the inverter host condenser, transfer it to the cooling water, increase the cooling water temperature, and achieve effective heat recovery. The recovered heat can be stored in the hot water storage tank for subsequent heating needs, such as winter heating of the warehouse, preheating of fresh air, etc., which improves the comprehensive utilization rate of energy. According to actual tests, in the cooling season, about 20% of the condensation heat can be recovered through the heat recovery heat exchanger, saving a lot of energy costs for the enterprise. In heating mode, the heat in the low-temperature hot water discharged by the air-conditioning box can also be recovered and transferred to the cooling water for preheating, reducing the energy consumption required for hot water heating. This two-way heat recovery function enables the entire air-conditioning system to achieve energy recycling in different operating modes, reducing dependence on external energy and conforming to sustainable development.

The cooling water absorbs heat in the heat recovery heat exchanger and its temperature rises, and then enters the cooling water pump of the cooling water module; A2. Cooling water circulation and heat storage; The cooling water pump pressurizes and delivers the heated cooling water to the cooling tower. The cooling tower lowers the temperature of the cooling water through heat exchange with the outside air. Part of the cooled water flows back to the heat recovery heat exchanger to continue absorbing the condensation heat. The other part can be discharged or recycled according to the actual situation after meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the system. At the same time, the heated water flowing out of the cold side of the heat recovery heat exchanger enters the hot water storage tank for storage, realizing the recovery and preliminary storage of the condensation heat. A3. Hot water utilization and air conditioning box pre-cooling adjustment; When the paint warehouse needs to be heated, the hot water circulation pump starts to pump out the hot water in the hot water storage tank. The hot water first passes through the hot water control module, where the temperature sensor and flow sensor monitor the temperature and flow parameters of the hot water in real time and transmit the data to the controller. The controller adjusts the speed of the hot water circulation pump according to the preset control strategy and actual needs to control the flow and pressure of the hot water. The hot water passes through the three-way regulating valve and adjusts the appropriate hot water flow according to the temperature demand of the warehouse to enter the heating section of the air-conditioning box. In the air-conditioning box, the hot water exchanges heat with the incoming fresh air to preheat the air. After the air temperature is increased, it is sent to the warehouse, realizing the reuse of heat energy. At the same time, in the evaporation section of the air-conditioning box, the cold energy generated by the variable frequency host evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the air to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the air sent to the warehouse meet the requirements; There are three steps in heating mode: B1. Heating cycle start-up and heat recovery preparation; The inverter host switches to heating mode. At this time, the refrigerant circulates in reverse, absorbs heat outdoors, and then enters the indoor unit to release heat, raising the air temperature in the warehouse. During the process of heating the air in the heating section of the air conditioner, the hot water temperature gradually decreases, and low-temperature hot water flows out from the heating section of the air conditioner. B2. Low-temperature hot water heat recovery and storage; The low-temperature hot water flowing out of the heating section of the air-conditioning box enters the hot side of the heat recovery heat exchanger. At this time, the cooling water on the cold side of the heat recovery heat exchanger exchanges heat with the low-temperature hot water on the hot side. The heat of the low-temperature hot water is transferred to the cooling water, the cooling water temperature increases, and the low-temperature hot water temperature further decreases and then flows back to the hot water storage tank; B3. System heat balance and optimal utilization; After the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank drops, it can be pumped out and utilized again by the hot water circulation pump according to actual conditions. At the same time, after the cooling water absorbs the heat of the low-temperature hot water, the increased temperature cooling water can be directed to other equipment or areas that need preheating, such as preheating some pipes or equipment when starting in winter, thereby improving the overall energy utilization efficiency of the system.
