Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of waste heat recovery, and in particular to a waste heat power generation, refrigeration and dehumidification coupling system combining power generation, refrigeration and dehumidification functions. Background Art

[0002] In the field of waste heat recovery and utilization technology, high-temperature ash contains a large amount of thermal energy, and its effective recovery and utilization are of great significance for energy conservation and emission reduction. Traditional high-temperature ash waste heat utilization technology can convert part of the thermal energy in the ash into steam or hot water for power generation or heating. However, these technologies can often only recover part of the heat in the ash, and there is energy loss in the conversion process, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency. As a technology that uses low-grade thermal energy for refrigeration, the absorption refrigeration system has attracted attention because it can directly utilize industrial waste heat. This system achieves refrigeration through a thermochemical reaction between the absorbent and the refrigerant, and has the advantages of simple structure, reliable operation, and environmental friendliness.

[0003] However, in high temperature and high humidity areas, the efficiency problem of the coupling of absorption refrigeration system and waste heat recovery system is particularly prominent. In these areas, due to the high ambient humidity, the absorption refrigeration system needs to consume more heat during the evaporation process, resulting in reduced refrigeration efficiency. In addition, traditional waste heat recovery technology can usually only recover part of the heat in the ash, and the remaining heat is still discharged into the environment in the form of low temperature, resulting in energy waste. Due to the high ambient humidity, the absorption refrigeration system needs to consume more heat during the evaporation process, resulting in a significant reduction in refrigeration efficiency. Therefore, the efficiency problem of the absorption refrigeration system in high temperature and high humidity environments is particularly prominent. In addition, the performance of the absorption refrigeration system is greatly affected by the temperature of the heat source. When the temperature of the heat source is low, the refrigeration capacity of the system will drop significantly. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] The present invention will now be further described in detail by way of embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

The second evaporator 8 also has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air preheater 4, the second heat exchanger 5 and the generator 6 are all shell and tube heat exchangers, the condenser 7 is a water-cooled condenser, the second evaporator 8 is a direct evaporation heat exchanger, and the absorber 9 is a spray absorber.

[0014] The above-mentioned dehumidification module includes an ash container 10 with an ash inlet and an ash outlet, a first air outlet duct 12, a second air outlet duct 13, a return air duct 14 and a fresh air duct 15; the ash inlet of the ash container 10 is connected to the ash outlet of the second heat exchanger 5, and the ash outlet of the ash container 10 is connected to a spiral slag discharger 11; the ash container 10 is also provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, one end of the first air outlet duct 12 is connected to the air outlet of the ash container 10, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the second evaporator 8, one end of the second air outlet duct 13 is connected to the air outlet of the second evaporator 8, and the other end is used for exhausting air to the room, one end of the return air duct 14 is used for returning air from the room, and the other end and the fresh air duct 15 are connected to the air inlet of the ash container 10 through a three-way valve 16, and the three-way valve 16 can control the air flow path.

[0015] In the above-mentioned ash container 10, 3-5 ash channels made of non-woven fabrics are connected between the ash inlet and the ash outlet. Each ash channel is equipped with a stainless steel screen as a support frame. The stainless steel screen is installed in the ash container 10. The height of the ash channel is 10-15 cm, and the spacing between the ash channels is 20-30 cm to ensure uniform distribution of airflow. The gaps between the ash channels serve as air ducts 102. The ash in the ash channel moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wind in the air duct 102. The structure is as follows: Figure 2As shown. The particle size of ash is usually 1-10 mm, and the non-woven fabric 101 can prevent ash from leaking into the air duct 102. Specifically, several horizontal partitions are respectively arranged at the ash inlet and ash outlet of the ash container 10 to equally divide the ash inlet and ash outlet into 3-5 sub-inlets and sub-outlets, and stainless steel screens are connected and installed at the corresponding sub-inlets and sub-outlets, and then the non-woven fabric tube with two ends through is installed on the stainless steel screen, and at the same time, the two ends of the non-woven fabric tube are fixedly installed on the sub-inlet and sub-outlet respectively so that the ash can only pass through the non-woven fabric tube.

[0016] The cold ash hopper 1, the first heat exchanger 2, the air preheater 4, the second heat exchanger 5, the ash container 10, and the spiral slag discharger 11 are sequentially connected to form an ash passage. The ash passage between the ash inlet and the ash outlet, the water passage between the water inlet and the water outlet, and the air passage between the air inlet and the air outlet are all independent of each other.

[0017] The high-temperature hot ash (800℃-950℃) first enters the cold ash hopper 1, and then enters the first heat exchanger 2. The high-temperature hot ash releases radiant heat in the first heat exchanger 2, so that the soft water entering the first heat exchanger 2 evaporates and superheats to 450℃-500℃ high-pressure steam, driving the turbine generator 3 to generate electricity. After power generation, the high-temperature hot ash is cooled to medium-temperature hot ash of 300℃-500℃ and enters the air preheater 4.

[0018] The air preheater 4 uses the waste heat of the medium-temperature hot ash to preheat the soft water entering the air preheater 4 and transport it to the second water inlet of the first evaporator, thereby increasing the system thermal efficiency to more than 85%. The medium-temperature hot ash is further cooled to 100℃-200℃ in the preheater 4 to form low-temperature hot ash, which then enters the second heat exchanger 5.

[0019] The low-temperature hot ash releases waste heat in the second heat exchanger 5, heating the soft water entering the second heat exchanger 5 to 80℃-90℃, and the low-temperature hot ash cools down to 30℃-50℃ cold ash, providing a heat source for the refrigerant solution in the generator 6. The second heat exchanger 5 uses the waste heat of the low-temperature ash to heat the refrigerant solution, causing the refrigerant to evaporate and form a high-pressure gas; the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is condensed into a liquid in the condenser 7, and enters the second evaporator 8 after the pressure is reduced by the throttle valve 17, where it absorbs heat and evaporates, absorbing the heat of the surrounding environment to achieve refrigeration; the evaporated low-pressure refrigerant vapor is absorbed by the absorber 9 to complete the refrigeration cycle; the solution pump 18 is used to transport the dilute refrigerant solution in the absorber 9 to the generator 6 to maintain the circulation of the refrigerant solution in the absorption refrigeration system; the pressure reducing valve 19 is arranged between the outlet of the solution pump 18 and the generator 6, and is used to adjust the pressure of the refrigerant solution to ensure that the refrigerant solution can smoothly undergo the heating and evaporation process in the generator 6.

[0020] After the cold ash enters the ash container 10, the cold return air drawn from the indoor air at 20℃-26℃ is first exchanged with the ash container 10 through the return air duct 14, and the temperature of the cold ash drops to 25℃-30℃; then the outdoor fresh air at 30℃-35℃ is introduced through the fresh air duct 15 for further heat exchange with the ash, and the humidity of the fresh air is reduced. The dehumidified dry fresh air enters the evaporator 8 through the first air outlet duct 12, absorbs the cold energy evaporated by the refrigerant, and the temperature drops to 15℃-18℃, and the low-temperature air is sent back to the room through the second air outlet duct 13.

[0021] The above-mentioned technologies not specifically mentioned are all referred to the prior art.

[0022] Based on the above-mentioned ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above-mentioned description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification.
