[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a sludge drying heat pump unit, including a compression heat pump unit and an open absorption heat pump unit, wherein the compression heat pump unit adopts a two-stage compressor unit, and the compression heat pump unit produces dual-temperature heat energy and provides it to the open absorption heat pump unit to achieve the high-temperature heating required for sludge dehydration and drying and the medium-temperature heating required for the concentration of the waste gas absorption solution, while the open absorption heat pump unit can not only recover the water vapor generated by sludge dehydration through the hygroscopicity of saline-alkali solution on water vapor and the absorption of acidic gas, but also provide the generated absorption heat to the compression heat pump unit for recycling, and remove waste gas pollutants such as sulfide or nitrogen oxides, thereby achieving the purification of pollutants generated by sludge heating and dehydration.

[0024] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, the compression heat pump unit includes a low-pressure compressor 1, a high-pressure compressor 2, a sludge condenser 3, a second throttling component 4, a steam source evaporator 5, a third throttling component 6, an air source evaporator 7, a solution condenser 8, a first throttling component 9 and a solution source evaporator 10.

[0025] In this solution, the high-pressure compressor 2 is arranged on the exhaust side of the low-pressure compressor 1, and the exhaust port of the high-pressure compressor 2 is divided into two branches: One of the branches passes through the solution condenser 8, the first throttling component 9 and the solution source evaporator 10 and is then connected to the suction side of the high-pressure compressor 2. The refrigerant channels of the solution condenser 8, the first throttling component 9 and the solution source evaporator 10 are connected in series in sequence, and the outlet of the solution source evaporator 10 and the exhaust port of the low-pressure compressor 1 are connected in parallel to the suction port side of the high-pressure compressor 2. The superheated refrigerant vapor discharged from the exhaust port of the high-pressure compressor 2 passes through the solution condenser 8 to condense and generate the saline-alkali solution in the solution generator 13, and the refrigerant vapor is condensed into liquid refrigerant inside the solution condenser 8. The condensed liquid refrigerant is throttled and depressurized by the first throttling component 9, and then enters the solution source evaporator 10 to recover heat from the saline-alkali solution in the absorber 12, thereby vaporizing the liquid refrigerant into gaseous refrigerant, and the gaseous refrigerant directly enters the suction port of the high-pressure compressor 2, thereby completing the compression process with a high compression ratio.

[0026] The other branch is connected to the steam source evaporator 5 and the air source evaporator 7 respectively through the sludge condenser 3. The steam source evaporator 5 has a first medium side and a second medium side. The refrigerant working medium is introduced into the first medium side, and the heating medium (water vapor) is introduced into the second medium side. The second medium side is used to preheat the refrigerant working medium on the first medium side; the refrigerant outlet of the first medium side of the steam source evaporator 5 and the air source evaporator 7 are connected in parallel to the suction side of the low-pressure compressor 1, and the outlet of the sludge condenser 3 is divided into two branches, which are respectively connected to the inlets of the second throttling component 4 and the third throttling component 6, wherein the outlet of the second throttling component 4 is connected to the inlet of the steam source evaporator 5, the outlet of the steam source evaporator 5 is connected to the suction port of the low-pressure compressor 1, the outlet of the third throttling component 6 is connected to the inlet of the air source evaporator 7, the outlet of the air source evaporator 7 is connected to the suction port of the low-pressure compressor 1, and the exhaust port of the low-pressure compressor 1 is connected to the suction port of the high-pressure compressor 2.

[0027] In this solution, the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant of the sludge condenser 3 can heat the sludge, so that the water in the sludge evaporates and is discharged into the absorber 12 through the top steam outlet. After the gaseous refrigerant is condensed into liquid refrigerant, it is throttled and depressurized by the second throttling component 4 and the third throttling component 6 respectively arranged in parallel, and then flows into the refrigerant channel of the steam source evaporator 5 through the second throttling component 4, which is used to recover the condensation heat of the water vapor of the open absorption heat pump unit through the refrigerant, and flows into the refrigerant channel of the air source evaporator 7 after passing through the third throttling component 6, thereby absorbing the heat energy of the external ambient air, so that the refrigerant evaporates into refrigerant vapor.

The saline-alkali solution sprayed by the spray component 16 can absorb the water vapor containing acidic waste gas entering the steam inlet and release the absorption heat at the same time. The function of the solution source evaporator 10 is to recover the absorption heat released in the absorber 12 through the refrigerant working medium introduced into it, and the refrigerant working medium directly enters the high-pressure compressor 2 after absorbing and recovering the heat to complete the compression process of the high-pressure compression ratio. It should be noted that the spray component 16 includes one or more spray heads.

[0029] In this solution, the solution outlet of the absorber 12 is connected to the solution generator 13 through the solution throttling component 15. The saline-alkali solution sprayed in the absorber 12 absorbs water vapor from the sludge pool 11. During the process of the saline-alkali solution absorbing water vapor and pollutants such as sulfides and nitrogen oxides, the absorption heat released is recovered by the refrigerant working medium passing through the solution source evaporator 10. The recovered heat is used to compress the heat pump unit to produce high-temperature heat energy to provide further heat required for sludge dehydration and drying.
