The flue gas inlet 1e is provided with a flue gas purifier 26 and a fourth regulating valve 15, and the flue gas outlet 1f is provided with a third stop valve 20 for discharge. The flue gas first exchanges heat with the hot water in the first heat recovery heat exchange tube 1c and then heats the seawater in the second heat recovery heat exchange tube 1d. The high-temperature waste heat section is used to heat the hot water for the operation of the organic Rankine cycle ORC, while the low-temperature waste heat section is used for heating and flash evaporation of seawater to achieve low-temperature seawater desalination and avoid scaling and corrosion problems caused by high temperature.

[0049] The organic Rankine cycle ORC includes a condenser 2, a working fluid pump 8, a wastewater heat recovery heat exchanger 5, an evaporator 3 and an expander 4. The condenser 2 includes a fifth inlet b1, a fifth outlet b2, a sixth inlet b3 and a sixth outlet b4, wherein the fifth inlet b1 is the working fluid inlet of the condenser 2, the fifth outlet b2 is the working fluid outlet of the condenser 2, the sixth inlet b3 is the seawater inlet of the condenser 2, and the sixth outlet b4 is the seawater outlet of the condenser 2; the wastewater heat recovery heat exchanger 5 includes a ninth inlet d1, a ninth outlet d2, a tenth inlet d3 and a tenth outlet d4, wherein the ninth inlet d1 is the working fluid inlet of the wastewater heat recovery heat exchanger 5, and the ninth outlet d 2 is the working fluid outlet of the drainage heat recovery heat exchanger 5, the tenth inlet d3 is the concentrated brine inlet of the drainage heat recovery heat exchanger 5, and the tenth outlet d4 is the concentrated brine outlet of the drainage heat recovery heat exchanger 5 after heat exchange; the evaporator 3 includes the seventh inlet c1, the seventh outlet c2, the eighth inlet c3 and the eighth outlet c4, the seventh inlet c1 is the hot water inlet of the evaporator 3, the seventh outlet c2 is the hot water outlet of the evaporator 3, the eighth inlet c3 is the working fluid inlet of the evaporator 3, and the eighth outlet c4 is the working fluid outlet of the evaporator 3.

[0053] A pressure controller 21 is provided at the top of the flash chamber, and the control signal of the pressure controller 21 is connected to the first regulating valve 12 through a wire; the pressure in the flash chamber is regulated by the pressure controller 21 in combination with the first regulating valve 12, and the opening of the first regulating valve 12 is positively correlated with the pressure in the flash chamber.

The first temperature controller 22 cooperates with the second regulating valve 13 to adjust the working medium temperature at the fifth outlet b2. When the working medium temperature at the fifth outlet b2 is greater than the set value, the first temperature controller 22 sends a control signal to the second regulating valve 13, and the opening of the second regulating valve 13 increases, thereby increasing the flow rate of low-temperature seawater entering the condenser 2, so that the working medium is cooled in time; otherwise, the opening of the second regulating valve 13 is reduced.

When the seawater temperature detected by the second temperature controller 24 is higher than the set value, the opening of the fourth regulating valve 15 is reduced, thereby reducing the flue gas flow rate of the flue gas entering the system; otherwise, the opening of the fourth regulating valve 15 is increased, thereby increasing the flue gas flow rate of the flue gas entering the system.

[0056] The seventh inlet c1 is provided with a third temperature controller 25, and the control signal of the third temperature controller 25 is connected to the fifth regulating valve 16 through a wire. The opening of the fifth regulating valve 16 is positively correlated with the temperature at the seventh inlet c1. When the temperature detected by the third temperature controller 25 is higher than the set value, a control signal is sent to the fifth regulating valve 16, and the fifth regulating valve 16 increases its opening, thereby increasing the flow of hot water entering the first heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1c, so that the temperature of the hot water after the flue gas heat exchange is reduced, and the temperature of the hot water flowing into the evaporator 3 is guaranteed; otherwise, the opening of the fifth regulating valve 16 is reduced. Considering that the flue gas flow rate and temperature will change, the water flow rate is adjusted according to the heat source inlet temperature to ensure the temperature of the expander 4 inlet. Compared with the flue gas directly heating the working medium, the working medium evaporation temperature can be more accurately controlled, and the stability of the system operation is improved.

[0057] The present invention generally comprises four cycles, namely, a seawater desalination cycle, a flue gas cycle, an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and a hot water cycle.

[0058] The seawater in the seawater desalination cycle starts from the water supply pump 9, and one loop passes through the first regulating valve 12, the first inlet a1, the condenser 1b, the second inlet a2, the second heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1d, the first outlet a3, the pressure reducing valve 17, the third inlet a4, the third outlet a6, the third regulating valve 14, the second drainage pump 11, the tenth inlet d3, and finally is discharged through the tenth outlet d4; the other loop passes through the second regulating valve 13, the sixth inlet b3, the sixth outlet b4, the second inlet a2, the second heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1d, the first outlet a3, the pressure reducing valve 17, the third inlet a4, the third outlet a6, the third regulating valve 14, the second drainage pump 11, the tenth inlet d3, and finally is discharged through the tenth outlet d4. One of the loops directly enters the second heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1d through the second inlet a2 to exchange heat with the flue gas; the other loop first enters the condenser 2 through the sixth inlet b3 to exchange heat with the working medium in the condenser 2, and then enters the second heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1d through the sixth outlet b4 to exchange heat with the flue gas; the two loops converge to the third inlet a4 to enter the flash chamber. At this time, the high-temperature seawater entering the flash chamber vaporizes and liquefies on the surface of the condenser tube 1b and drips onto the water collecting plate 1a, and finally passes through the pipeline at the bottom of the water collecting plate 1a through the second outlet a5, the first stop valve 18 and the first drainage pump 10 for the crew's life.

[0059] The flue gas cycle passes through the flue gas purifier 26, the fourth regulating valve 15, the flue gas inlet 1e, the flue gas outlet 1f in sequence, and finally is discharged from the hull through the third stop valve 20. The flue gas in the flue gas cycle exchanges heat with the hot water in the first heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1c and the seawater in the second heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1d in the flue gas heat recovery heat exchange chamber, and finally the low-temperature flue gas after heat exchange is discharged from the hull from the third stop valve 20.

[0060] The hot water circulation starts from the hot water tank 6, passes through the circulation pump 7, the fifth regulating valve 16, the fourth inlet a7, the first heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1c, the fourth outlet a8, the second stop valve 19, the seventh inlet c1, the evaporator 3, the seventh outlet c2, and finally returns to the hot water tank 6. The hot water in the hot water circulation undergoes heat exchange twice in the evaporator 3 and the first heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1c, first exchanges heat with the high-temperature flue gas through the first heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1c to absorb the heat energy of the high-temperature flue gas, and then enters the evaporator 3 to exchange heat with the working medium to release heat energy.

[0061] The organic Rankine cycle ORC starts from the working fluid pump 8, passes through the ninth inlet d1, the drainage heat recovery heat exchanger 5, the ninth outlet d2, the eighth inlet c3, the evaporator 3, the eighth outlet c4, the expander 4, the fifth inlet b1, the condenser 2, the fifth outlet b2, and finally returns to the working fluid pump 8. The working fluid liquid in the working fluid pump 8 first exchanges heat with the seawater with a high salinity concentrated by the flash chamber through the drainage heat recovery heat exchanger 5 to obtain preliminary waste heat, then enters the evaporator 3 to absorb the heat of the high-temperature hot water or steam that exchanges heat with the high-temperature flue gas and evaporates into high-temperature and high-pressure steam, then expands through the expander 4, and outputs expansion work to drive the generator to generate electricity, and the expanded low-temperature and low-pressure working fluid gas enters the condenser 2, and after the seawater in the condenser 2 releases heat and condenses, it flows into the working fluid pump 8 to continue the next cycle.

[0062] The working method of a ship low-temperature flue gas waste heat power generation and seawater desalination system of the present invention comprises the following specific steps:

[0063] Step 1: Seawater enters the flash chamber for desalination and finally flows out through the first drainage pump 10 for the crew's daily use.

[0064] Step 11, evacuate the flash chamber until the vacuum degree reaches a set value;

[0065] Step 12, open the first regulating valve 12, the second regulating valve 13 and the water supply pump 9, and the fourth regulating valve 15 of the flue gas inlet 1e, so that the seawater enters the condenser pipe 1b of the flash chamber in one way and passes through the condenser 2 in the other way to recover the steam condensation latent heat and the working medium condensation latent heat respectively;

[0066] Step 13, the seawater passing through the condenser pipe 1b and the condenser 2 merges and then flows into the second heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1d in the flue gas heat recovery heat exchange chamber to recover the waste heat of the flue gas introduced by the fourth regulating valve 15;

[0067] Step 14, after the temperature of the seawater in the second heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1d increases, it enters the flash chamber through the pressure reducing valve 17 for flash evaporation. The steam obtained by flash evaporation is condensed into fresh water by the low-temperature seawater on the surface of the condenser pipe 1b, drips onto the water collecting plate 1a, and is finally transported outward through the first drainage pump 10 to meet the water demand of the ship;

[0068] Step 15: When the liquid level of the unevaporated seawater in the flash chamber is higher than the set value, the liquid level controller 23 sends a control signal to the third regulating valve 14 to increase the opening of the third regulating valve 14, and the unevaporated seawater enters the drainage heat recovery heat exchanger 5 through the third regulating valve 14 and the second drainage pump 11 to release heat and then be discharged;

[0069] Step 16, when the pressure detected by the pressure controller 21 is higher than the set value, the pressure controller 21 sends a control signal to the first regulating valve 12 to increase the opening of the first regulating valve 12, thereby increasing the flow of seawater entering the flash chamber to condense the flash steam in time; otherwise, the opening of the first regulating valve 12 is reduced.

[0070] Step 17, when the temperature detected by the second temperature controller 24 is higher than the set value, a control signal is sent to the fourth regulating valve 15 to reduce the opening of the fourth regulating valve 15, thereby reducing the flue gas flow entering the system; otherwise, the opening of the fourth regulating valve 15 is increased.

[0071] Step 2: The working fluid of the organic Rankine cycle starts from the working fluid pump 8, passes through the drainage heat recovery heat exchanger 5, the evaporator 3, the expander 4, the condenser 2 in sequence, and finally returns to the working fluid pump 8. The working fluid performs expansion work at the expander 4 to drive the generator 27 to generate electricity.

[0072] Step 21, open the working fluid pump 8 and the fifth regulating valve 16 of the organic Rankine cycle, send the working fluid liquid into the drainage heat recovery heat exchanger 5 to absorb the heat of the unevaporated seawater discharged by the second drainage pump 11, and obtain the preheated working fluid liquid;

[0073] Step 22, the hot water in the hot water tank 6 enters the first heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1c of the flue gas heat recovery heat exchange chamber through the circulation pump 7 and the fifth regulating valve 16 to absorb the heat of the flue gas to obtain the hot water after heat absorption. According to the different flue gas temperatures, the hot water may partially evaporate or completely evaporate in the first heat recovery heat exchange pipe 1c, and the hot water or steam after heat absorption then enters the evaporator 3 to release heat for the organic working fluid to absorb heat and evaporate;

[0074] Step 23, the preheated working fluid enters the evaporator 3 to absorb the heat of the hot water after endothermic treatment, evaporates into high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and then expands through the expander 4 and outputs expansion work to drive the engine 27 to generate electricity; the hot water cooled in the evaporator 3 returns to the hot water tank 6.

[0075] Step 24: The expanded low-temperature and low-pressure working fluid gas enters the condenser 2, releases heat and condenses to continue the next cycle.

[0076] Step 25, when the temperature detected by the first temperature controller 22 is higher than the set value, a control signal is sent to the second regulating valve 13 to increase the opening of the second regulating valve 13, thereby increasing the flow of seawater entering the condenser 2 to condense the working medium in time; otherwise, the opening of the second regulating valve 13 is reduced.

[0077] Step 26: When the temperature detected by the third temperature controller 25 is lower than the set value, a control signal is sent to the fifth regulating valve 16 to reduce the opening of the fifth regulating valve 16 and reduce the circulation flow of the hot water; otherwise, the opening of the fifth regulating valve 16 is increased.

[0078] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other implementation modes. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation shall fall within the protection scope required by the present invention.
