Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ship energy conservation, and particularly relates to a cooling device and method based on four-stage ammonia-water cycle using ship power waste heat. Background Art
[0002] As the core power source of a ship, a diesel engine generates a large amount of heat energy during its operation. Among them, a part of the heat energy is converted into power output, and its thermal efficiency is about 50%. However, the remaining heat energy is often dissipated through the exhaust gas and cooling water systems, resulting in a large amount of energy not being effectively utilized. Usually, the exhaust gas temperature is around 320 - 400°C. In addition, the temperature of the diesel engine cooling water is around 80 - 90°C.
[0003] Therefore, effectively utilizing the waste heat during ship operation is crucial for reducing transportation costs and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. Currently, for the technical research on waste heat recovery and utilization, domestic and foreign scholars mainly explore means such as Rankine cycle, seawater desalination, and waste heat refrigeration. Among them, the waste heat can be used as the heat source for an adsorption refrigerant. The working temperature range of the ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system is usually between -20°C and 0°C, enabling the use of ships with cold storage and refrigerated fresh-keeping functions. Although this method utilizes part of the residual temperature of the exhaust gas to achieve the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction, it is limited by low efficiency in heat exchange and high operating costs, making it difficult to be popularized on a large scale.
[0004] However, when the current ammonia-water refrigeration device is in use, due to the large exhaust gas displacement of the ship engine, when the exhaust gas passes through the refrigeration device, if the heat exchange efficiency between the exhaust gas and ammonia water is low, it will lead to incomplete utilization of the exhaust gas waste heat, resulting in poor refrigeration effect. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooling device and method based on four-stage ammonia-water cycle using ship power waste heat to solve the problem of low heat exchange efficiency between the exhaust gas and ammonia water in the above-mentioned technology, and further improve the utilization of exhaust gas waste heat.
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A cooling device based on waste heat of ship power and adopting a four-stage ammonia-water cycle, including a casing. An heat exchange mechanism is installed inside the casing. The casing is provided with an ammonia pipeline and an ammonia-water inlet pipe. The heat exchange mechanism includes a sealed casing installed on one side of the casing. One end of the sealed casing is communicated with an exhaust gas inlet pipe, and the other end of the sealed casing is communicated with one end of a group of heat exchange tubes installed inside the casing. N groups of return pipes are fixedly communicated with the outer surface of the heat exchange tubes. The other end of the heat exchange tubes is communicated with a shunt box. The shunt box is communicated with an exhaust pipe and one end of a bent pipe. The other end of the exhaust pipe is communicated with a connection shell. The connection shell is communicated with one end of a three-way pipe. The other two ends of the three-way pipe are respectively connected with a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve. The output end of the second solenoid valve is communicated with one end of the bent pipe. The other end of the bent pipe is communicated with the shunt box.
[0008] Further, the input port and the output port of the return pipe are located inside the heat exchange tube. A support ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat exchange tube. The support ring blocks the exhaust gas so that the exhaust gas enters the return pipe. The support ring is connected with a fixed ring, and the fixed ring is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the heat exchange tube to keep the support ring stable.
[0009] Further, the input port of the return pipe is located on one side of the support ring in the exhaust gas input direction, and the output port of the return pipe is located on one side of the support ring in the exhaust gas output direction.
[0010] Further, each group of the return pipes is arranged in an annular shape at equal intervals.
[0011] Further, a perforated support plate is sleeved on the outer surface of the bent pipe, and the bottom surface of the perforated support plate is fixedly connected with the inner bottom wall of the casing.
[0012] Further, a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connection shell.
[0013] Further, the casing is provided with a controller and an observation window.
[0014] Further, two groups of support feet are provided below the casing, and the upper surface of each support foot is fixedly connected with the bottom surface of the casing.
[0015] Further, the two exhaust gas inlet pipes are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the bent pipe.
[0016] The present invention may further include:
[0017] A cooling method for the above-mentioned cooling device based on waste heat of ship power and adopting a four-stage ammonia-water cycle, the method comprising the following steps:
[0018] The waste gas enters the interior of the sealed housing through the waste gas inlet pipe, and then the waste gas enters the interior of the heat exchange tube through the sealed housing. The waste gas exchanges heat with the ammonia water through the heat exchange tube. During the flow of the waste gas, the waste gas is blocked by the support ring so that the waste gas can enter the reflux pipe. During the flow of the waste gas in the reflux pipe, the waste gas can perform secondary heat exchange with the ammonia water through the reflux pipe. As the waste gas enters the interior of the shunt box, the shunt box can exchange heat with the ammonia water again. When the waste gas flows through the exhaust pipe, it can exchange heat with the ammonia water again. As the waste gas enters the connection housing, the temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature of the waste gas. When the temperature is relatively high, the first solenoid valve can be closed in cooperation with the controller, and at the same time the second solenoid valve is opened, so that the waste gas enters the interior of the device again through the elbow pipe, and the ammonia water exchanges heat with the elbow pipe to make full use of the residual heat of the waste gas.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] In the present invention, the waste gas inlet pipe is provided to enable the waste gas to enter the interior of the heat exchange tube. The waste gas is heat-exchanged through the heat exchange tube to evaporate the ammonia water inside the casing. And through the reflux pipe, the waste gas can flow back during the flow of the waste gas, and at the same time cooperate with the reflux pipe for secondary heat exchange. The exhaust pipe can perform a third heat exchange when discharging the gas, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the waste gas and the ammonia water, and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the waste heat of the waste gas, so as to ensure the refrigeration effect. And through the temperature sensor, when the waste gas is discharged, the temperature of the waste gas can be sensed, so that the controller can close the first solenoid valve and open the second solenoid valve at the same time when the temperature sensor senses a relatively high temperature, so that the waste gas enters the interior of the casing again to recycle the waste heat again.
[0021] In the present invention, through the linkage of the temperature sensor and the second solenoid valve, the waste gas enters the interior of the casing again to recycle the waste heat again, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
