[0036] Application Overview
[0037] In view of the contradictory situations that occur in the traditional utilization of electrolytic flue gas waste heat, such as the low flue gas temperature caused by the low ambient temperature in the heating season and the large heat demand, the high flue gas temperature in the non - heating season with little use, and the influence of the day - night temperature difference on heat users, the present application proposes to insulate the electrolytic flue to make the annual flue gas temperature basically stable and the day - night flue gas temperature stable.
[0038] After thermal insulation on the heat source side in the utilization of waste heat from electrolytic flue gas, the amount of recoverable waste heat is large, which can be easily consumed during the heating season, but it is difficult to consume during the non-heating season. There is a need for continuous and stable consumers. The recovered waste heat is used to supply heat to the waste heat refrigeration lithium bromide unit during the non-heating season, and the produced chilled water is adjusted through the heating pipe network and valve group and supplied to cold-using points such as the distribution room, high-voltage variable frequency room, production process, and agricultural greenhouses to meet safe production, and supply cooling to the office and living areas in summer. This demand has a relatively large correlation between heat demand and environmental temperature. The surplus heat needs to be sent to the raw water and condensate heating system of the power plant, and the heat demand of this system is much greater than the heat collection capacity of the heat source side. By adjusting the steam supply volume of the power plant heating system, the stability of the process temperature of the power plant water system is adjusted.
[0039] The solution provided in this application adopts an integrated method to solve the problems of insufficient heat source recovery, insufficient consumption and utilization after recovery, and inability to annualize energy-saving benefits in the prior art.
[0040] After introducing the basic principle of this application, various non-limiting embodiments of this application will be specifically introduced with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Exemplary System
[0042] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown in FIGS.
[0043] The electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system is respectively connected to the heating system, the waste heat refrigeration system, and the waste heat power plant raw water and condensate heating system, and is used to transmit the electrolytic flue gas of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system to the heating system, the waste heat refrigeration system, the waste heat power plant raw water and condensate heating system, and the hot water supply system;
[0044] The electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system is respectively connected to the heating system, the waste heat refrigeration system, and the waste heat power plant raw water and condensate heating system, and is used to transmit the waste heat of the electrolytic flue gas to the heating system, the waste heat refrigeration system, the waste heat power plant raw water and condensate heating system, and the hot water supply system;

[0049] The automatic control system is used to control the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, the heating system, the hot water supply system, the waste heat refrigeration system, and the raw water condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant, so as to achieve in-depth recovery of electrolytic flue gas waste heat.
[0050] In the solution provided by this application, the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system is the core part of the whole system, responsible for transferring the electrolytic flue gas waste heat to other subsystems for waste heat recovery and utilization. The electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system is respectively connected to the heating system, the waste heat refrigeration system, the raw water condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant, and the hot water supply system. Further, the flue gas duct in the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system adopts heat insulation measures to reduce heat loss during transmission and ensure the stability of the flue gas temperature. The flow direction of the flue gas is controlled by valves and instruments to achieve flexible switching between different subsystems.
[0051] The hot water supply system uses the electrolytic flue gas waste heat to heat domestic hot water. It is connected to the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, receives the electrolytic flue gas waste heat, and uses its heat for hot water heating. The hot water supply system transfers the heat of the flue gas to domestic water through a heat exchange device to meet the hot water demands such as bathing and production processes. The system is equipped with a hot water storage tank to ensure the stability and flexibility of hot water supply.
[0052] It should be noted that in practical applications, the electrolytic flue gas waste heat supply to the hot water supply system should be given priority.
[0053] The heating system uses the electrolytic flue gas waste heat for heating. It is connected to the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, receives the electrolytic flue gas waste heat, and uses its heat for heating. During the heating season, the heating system transfers the heat of the flue gas to the circulating water in the heating pipe network through a heat exchange device to provide heating for living and office areas, distribution rooms, etc. The heating pipe network has a wide coverage area to ensure that heat can be efficiently transported to each heat-using area.
[0054] The waste heat refrigeration system uses the electrolytic flue gas waste heat for refrigeration. It is connected to the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, receives the electrolytic flue gas waste heat, and uses its heat to drive refrigeration equipment. During the non-heating season, the waste heat refrigeration system converts the heat of the flue gas into cooling capacity through a lithium bromide unit to meet the cooling demands of areas such as distribution rooms, high-voltage variable frequency rooms, production processes, and agricultural greenhouses. The chilled water is transported to the cooling points through the transformed heating pipe network and valve group to ensure safe production and a comfortable environment.
[0055] The raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant utilizes the waste heat of electrolytic flue gas to heat the raw water and condensate of the power plant. It is connected to the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, receives the waste heat of electrolytic flue gas and uses its heat for heating raw water and condensate. It is connected in parallel with the traditional power plant raw water heating system and in series with the traditional power plant condensate heating system, serving as backup for each other to ensure the stability of raw water and condensate heating. By adjusting the steam supply, the process temperature of the power plant water system is controlled to avoid temperature fluctuations caused by insufficient or excessive waste heat.
[0056] The automatic control system realizes the automatic control and adjustment of the whole system. The automatic control system is connected to the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, heating system, waste heat refrigeration system, and raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant through sensors, valves and instruments. Based on the data collected by sensors and instruments, the automatic control system monitors parameters such as flue gas temperature, pressure and flow rate in real time. By adjusting the valve opening and equipment operation status through the logic control unit (PLC or DCS), the waste heat distribution is optimized to ensure the efficient operation of the system. Manual intervention is reduced, operation and maintenance costs are lowered, and the reliability and stability of the system are improved.
[0057] In the solution provided by this application, the waste heat of electrolytic flue gas is transmitted to each subsystem through the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system. During the heating season, the flue gas heat is preferentially used for heating by the heating system. During the non-heating season, the flue gas heat is used for refrigeration by the waste heat refrigeration system to meet the cooling demand. The surplus heat is used for heating the raw water and condensate of the power plant through the raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant; and / or hot water available is obtained by heating based on the waste heat of the electrolytic flue gas; the automatic control system adjusts the flue gas flow direction and the operation status of each subsystem according to real-time data to ensure the maximization of waste heat utilization efficiency.
[0058] This system transmits the waste heat to multiple subsystems such as heating, refrigeration, raw water and condensate heating of the power plant, and hot water supply through the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, and realizes the deep recovery and diversified utilization of waste heat in combination with the automatic control system. This design not only improves the waste heat utilization rate, but also reduces the enterprise's energy cost, with remarkable energy-saving and economic benefits.
[0059] Specifically, the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system includes a heat insulation measure for the flue gas and air pipeline, which is used to insulate the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system. The heat insulation measure for the flue gas and air pipeline uses high-efficiency heat insulation materials, such as rock wool, glass wool or ceramic fiber, etc. These materials have good heat insulation performance and can effectively reduce the heat loss during transmission. The heat insulation material is usually wrapped on the outer wall of the flue gas and air pipeline and fixed by materials such as metal shell or glass cloth to ensure the stability and durability of the insulation layer. The joints and interfaces of the heat insulation measure adopt a sealed design to prevent heat from escaping through the gaps and at the same time avoid the entry of external air into the pipeline, which affects the flue gas temperature. The heat insulation measure reduces the heat loss of the flue gas during transmission through the low thermal conductivity of the heat insulation material, ensuring that the flue gas temperature can still meet the requirements of waste heat utilization when reaching each subsystem. The heat insulation measure helps to maintain the stability of the flue gas temperature, reduces the flue gas temperature fluctuation caused by the day-night temperature difference or seasonal changes, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of waste heat utilization. By reducing heat loss, the heat insulation measure ensures that more waste heat can be effectively utilized, improving the energy-saving effect of the entire system. The heat insulation measure reduces the additional energy consumption caused by heat loss and lowers the operating cost of the system. The heat insulation measure reduces the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline caused by temperature changes, thereby extending the service life of the pipeline and related equipment. The use of the heat insulation measure significantly reduces heat loss, improves the waste heat recovery efficiency, and reduces the energy consumption of the enterprise. By reducing heat dissipation, the heat insulation measure indirectly reduces the carbon emissions caused by energy consumption, meeting the environmental protection requirements.
[0060] The heat insulation measure for the flue gas and air pipeline is an important part of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system. Through high-efficiency heat insulation materials and sealed design, it reduces the heat loss during transmission, ensures the stability of the flue gas temperature, and improves the waste heat recovery efficiency and the overall performance of the system. This equipment has significant advantages in energy conservation, consumption reduction, environmental protection and economic benefits.
[0061] In some embodiments, the automatic control system includes: a plurality of valves and a plurality of instruments provided on the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system; the automatic control system controls the transmission path of the electrolytic flue gas based on the valves. The automatic control system includes: sensors provided on the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system.
[0062] The following is a detailed description of the automatic control system:
[0063] The automatic control system is the core part of the entire electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, responsible for real-time monitoring and adjusting parameters such as the transmission path, temperature, and pressure of the flue gas to ensure the efficient operation of the system.
[0064] Specifically, a control component is provided on the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system. The automatic control system adjusts the transmission of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat based on the control component to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the system.
[0065] Function of the control component: The control component is the interface between the automatic control system and the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, and is used to achieve precise control of the waste heat transmission. It can adjust the distribution and utilization of the waste heat in real time according to the actual operating conditions of the system and the preset control logic, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the system under different working conditions.
[0066] Function of the automatic control system: The automatic control system generates corresponding control instructions by monitoring and analyzing data from the control component, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc. These instructions are executed through the control component, such as adjusting the valve opening and controlling the operation of the pump, so as to achieve dynamic adjustment of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat transmission.
[0067] Synergistic effect: The synergistic effect between the control component and the automatic control system enables the system to flexibly adjust the distribution of the waste heat according to actual needs. For example, during the heating season, the waste heat supply to the heating system is increased, and during the non-heating season, more waste heat is distributed to the waste heat refrigeration system and the raw water heating system of the power plant. This dynamic adjustment mechanism not only improves the utilization efficiency of the waste heat, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the system.
[0068] Specifically, the control component includes sensors, valves and instruments.
[0069] Sensors: Sensors are an important part of the control component and are used to monitor key parameters in the system in real time, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc. These data are transmitted to the automatic control system as the basis for control decisions.
[0070] Valves: Valves are used to adjust and control the distribution of electrolytic flue gas waste heat between different systems. Through the instructions of the automatic control system, the valves can accurately adjust the opening degree to ensure that the waste heat is distributed according to the preset ratio and demand.
[0071] Instruments: Instruments are used to display and record the operating parameters in the system, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc. These data not only provide intuitive system operating status information for operators, but also support the data analysis and decision-making of the automatic control system.
[0072] Through the collaborative work of these control components, the automatic control system can achieve precise adjustment of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat transmission, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the system. This design not only improves the intelligent level of the system, but also reduces the need for manual intervention and the operation and maintenance costs.
[0073] In practical applications, valves are used to control the transmission path of flue gas, ensuring that the waste heat can be distributed to different subsystems as needed (such as heating systems, waste heat refrigeration systems, raw water in power plants, condensate heating systems, etc.). The opening and closing and the opening degree of the valves are controlled by electric actuators, which are suitable for remote control. The valves are actuated by air pressure, which is suitable for occasions that require quick response. The opening and closing and the opening degree of the valves are adjusted by the automatic control system according to the data collected by the sensors. For example, when the demand of the heating system increases, the automatic control system will open or increase the opening degree of the valve leading to the heating system to increase the waste heat flow rate. Instruments are used to monitor in real time parameters such as the temperature, pressure, and flow rate of the flue gas, providing data support for the automatic control system. For example, thermocouples and thermal resistors are used to measure the temperature of the flue gas. For example, pressure transmitters are used to measure the pressure of the flue gas. For example, flow meters are used to measure the flow rate of the flue gas. The data collected by the instruments are transmitted to the control unit of the automatic control system (such as PLC or DCS) through wired or wireless means. Sensors collect in real time parameters such as the temperature and pressure of the flue gas, providing accurate real-time data for the automatic control system. Temperature sensors: used to monitor the temperature of the flue gas to ensure that the flue gas temperature is within a reasonable range. Pressure sensors: used to monitor the pressure of the flue gas to avoid the system operation being affected by too high or too low pressure. Flow sensors: used to monitor the flow rate of the flue gas to ensure reasonable flue gas distribution. Data processing: The data collected by the sensors are processed through filtering, amplification, etc. and then transmitted to the control unit of the automatic control system. Real-time monitoring: Through the sensors and instruments, parameters such as the temperature, pressure, and flow rate of the flue gas are monitored in real time. Automatic regulation: According to the monitored data, the automatic control system adjusts the opening degree of the valves through the logic control unit (such as PLC or DCS) to optimize the flue gas distribution. Fault alarm: When the monitored data exceeds the set range, the automatic control system will send out an alarm signal to remind the operation and maintenance personnel to handle it in time; Remote monitoring: Remote monitoring and operation are supported, and the operation and maintenance personnel can view the system status in real time through the monitoring platform and perform remote regulation.
[0074] The automatic control system can monitor and regulate the flue gas distribution in real time, ensuring the maximization of waste heat utilization efficiency. Through the accurate monitoring of the sensors and instruments, the automatic control system can detect and handle abnormal situations in time, improving the stability of the system. By optimizing the flue gas distribution, unnecessary heat loss is reduced, and energy consumption is lowered. Remote monitoring and operation are supported, reducing manual intervention and improving the intelligent level of the system.
[0075] The automatic control system realizes the real-time monitoring and automatic regulation of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system through the coordinated work of multiple valves, instruments, and sensors. This design not only improves the operation efficiency and stability of the system, but also reduces the operation and maintenance costs, bringing significant energy-saving and economic benefits to the enterprise.
[0076] In some embodiments, it further includes: a raw water and condensate heating system for power plants. The raw water heating system for power plants and the raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant are connected in parallel to form a raw water heater for power plants; the condensate heating system for power plants and the raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant are connected in series to form a condensate heater for power plants; the raw water and condensate heating system for power plants and the raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant are used as backups for each other.
[0077] In some embodiments, the system further includes a raw water and condensate heating system for power plants. This system is connected in parallel and in series with the raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant respectively to form a raw water and condensate heater for power plants, and the two are used as backups for each other. The following is a detailed description:
[0078] Raw water and condensate heating system for power plants: The traditional raw water and condensate heating system usually uses steam or other heat sources for heating.
[0079] Raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant: A system that uses the waste heat of electrolytic flue gas to heat raw water and condensate.
[0080] The raw water and condensate heating system for power plants and the raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant are connected in parallel and in series respectively to jointly form a raw water and condensate heater for power plants. The two systems are used as backups for each other. When one of the systems fails or cannot meet the heating demand, the other system can immediately take over to ensure the continuity of raw water and condensate heating.
[0081] When there is sufficient waste heat in the electrolytic flue gas, the raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant serves as the main heating source, using the waste heat of the electrolytic flue gas to heat raw water and condensate. The raw water and condensate heating system for power plants is used as a backup and is ready to be put into operation at any time when needed. When the waste heat in the electrolytic flue gas is insufficient or the raw water and condensate heating system of the waste heat power plant fails, the automatic control system will switch to the raw water and condensate heating system for power plants and continue to heat raw water and condensate using traditional heat sources (such as steam) to ensure the stability of the raw water and condensate temperature.
[0082] The automatic control system monitors the operating states of the two systems in real time through sensors and instruments, including parameters such as temperature and pressure. When it is detected that the raw water and condensate heating systems of the waste heat power plant cannot meet the requirements or malfunction, the automatic control system will quickly adjust the valves and switch to the raw water and condensate heating systems of the power plant to ensure the continuity of raw water and condensate heating. The automatic control system optimizes the operation of the two systems based on real-time data to ensure finding the best balance between energy conservation and stability. Through the design of mutual backup, the reliability of raw water and condensate heating is ensured, avoiding production interruption caused by the failure of a single system. The waste heat of electrolytic flue gas is preferentially utilized for raw water and condensate heating, reducing the use of traditional heat sources and lowering energy consumption. The system can flexibly switch according to the availability and demand of waste heat to adapt to different working conditions. Through the precise regulation of the automatic control system, the stability of the raw water and condensate temperature is ensured to meet the requirements of the production process.
[0083] The parallel and series designs of the raw water and condensate heating systems of the power plant and the raw water and condensate heating systems of the waste heat power plant, combined with the real-time monitoring and automatic switching functions of the automatic control system, ensure the efficient, stable and reliable operation of raw water and condensate heating. This design not only improves the energy-saving effect of the system, but also enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the system, bringing significant economic and environmental benefits to the enterprise. The waste heat refrigeration device includes a lithium bromide unit for refrigeration using waste heat in the non-heating season.
[0084] In summary, in the solution provided by this application, based on the original waste heat utilization, the heat preservation of the purification area is increased, combined with the power plant heating system, the waste heat refrigeration system, or the power plant heating system + waste heat refrigeration system, supplemented by the automated operating system of our company, with automatic adjustment, without adding additional operation and maintenance personnel, and the method is simple and easy to implement. Compared with the previous traditional electrolytic flue gas waste heat utilization, the added part has a simple logic and is technically mature and stable, which can save winter heating costs, summer refrigeration costs, raw water and condensate heating steam costs of the power plant, low temperature rise steam consumption costs, and the corresponding carbon emission reduction costs, and can improve the competitiveness of the enterprise. This method has strong practicality, can be fully automated, and is simple and easy to implement compared with traditional waste heat projects.
[0085] In the solution provided by this application, on the basis of the previous system for recovering electrolytic flue gas waste heat for heating and bathing, the energy utilization efficiency method in the non-heating season is added. The electrolytic flue gas pipeline is heat-insulated to maximize the recovered waste heat. Specifically, the flue gas pipeline in front of the installation position of the electrolytic purification heat exchange device is heat-insulated. The raw water heater of the power plant is connected in parallel with the waste heat raw water heater, and the two systems are mutually backup. The last-stage low-pressure heater of the power plant is connected in series with the waste heat heater, and the two heating systems are mutually backup. The electrolytic aluminum waste heat is led to the power plant through pipeline laying. According to the cooling demand, a waste heat refrigeration device is configured, and the heating pipe network and valve group are transformed. Then, the above equipment is reasonably configured with valves, instruments, and automatic control.
[0086] In some embodiments, the automatic control system is specifically configured to preferentially transfer the waste heat of electrolytic flue gas to systems with high priorities according to a preset priority; wherein, the first priority includes a hot water supply system; the second priority includes: a heating system, a waste heat refrigeration system; the third priority includes: a raw water and condensate heating system for a waste heat power plant.
[0087] The setting of the priority is based on the functional importance of each system, the urgency of energy demand, and the stability requirements of system operation. By preferentially meeting the needs of high-priority systems, it ensures the normal operation of key functions, while optimizing the distribution of waste heat and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the overall system. The automatic control system dynamically adjusts the distribution of waste heat among different systems according to the preset priority logic. This mechanism ensures that under limited waste heat supply, the needs of high-priority systems are preferentially met, thereby improving the overall operation efficiency and stability of the system.
[0088] The specific priority distribution is as follows:
[0089] First priority: Hot water supply system: The hot water supply system is an important part of meeting basic living needs, and its stable operation is crucial for users' daily life. Therefore, the automatic control system preferentially ensures the waste heat supply of the hot water supply system to ensure that users can obtain the required hot water at any time.
[0090] Second priority: Heating system, waste heat refrigeration system: The heating system provides a comfortable living and working environment for users during the heating season, while the waste heat refrigeration system provides necessary cooling for key equipment such as the distribution room and high-voltage variable frequency room during the non-heating season to ensure the stable operation of the equipment. These two systems have a relatively large demand for waste heat and are closely related to users' comfort and the operation safety of equipment. Therefore, they are set as the second priority.
[0091] Third priority: Raw water and condensate heating system for a waste heat power plant: The raw water and condensate heating system for a waste heat power plant is mainly used to improve the energy utilization efficiency of the power plant. Its demand is relatively flexible, and its dependence on the temperature and supply volume of waste heat is relatively low. Therefore, after meeting the needs of the systems with the first two priorities, the remaining waste heat will be allocated to this system for further optimizing the energy efficiency of the power plant.
[0092] Through this priority distribution mechanism, the system can flexibly adjust the distribution of waste heat according to actual needs, ensure the normal operation of key functions, and at the same time improve the utilization efficiency of waste heat. This design not only improves the intelligent level of the system, but also reduces the need for manual intervention, reduces the operation and maintenance costs, and ensures the stability and reliability of the system.
[0093] The method embodiments of this application can be applied to the system embodiments of this application. For details not disclosed in the method embodiments of this application, please refer to the system embodiments of this application.
[0094] Figure 3 The following is a flowchart of a method provided by an embodiment of this application. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes:
[0095] Step 301, obtain the operating status of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system;
[0096] Specifically, sensors are deployed at key positions in the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, etc., for real-time monitoring of parameters such as the temperature, pressure, and flow rate of the flue gas. Through a wired or wireless communication network, the data collected by these sensors is transmitted to the automatic control system.
[0097] The automatic control system cleans and analyzes the collected data, removes outliers and noise, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data. According to the data analysis results, the operating status of the system is evaluated, including the available amount of waste heat, the temperature and pressure of the waste heat, etc.
[0098] The system evaluates the current operating status of the system according to the preset operating parameters and thresholds, and determines whether the waste heat is sufficient for subsequent utilization steps. If the waste heat is insufficient, the system will issue an alarm or adjust the operating mode to ensure the stable operation of the system.
[0099] Step 302, based on the hot water supply system, utilize the electrolytic flue gas waste heat to heat and obtain available hot water;
[0100] Specifically, the electrolytic flue gas waste heat transfers heat to the cold water through a heat exchanger, heating the cold water into hot water. The design of the heat exchanger ensures efficient heat transfer while avoiding direct contact between the flue gas and water, ensuring the safety of the water quality.
[0101] The heated hot water is stored in a hot water storage tank for subsequent use. According to the needs of users, the hot water is distributed to each water use point through a pipeline system, such as dormitories, bathrooms, restaurants, etc.
[0102] The automatic control system dynamically adjusts the operating power of the heat exchanger according to the demand for hot water and the supply of waste heat to ensure a stable supply of hot water. If the waste heat is insufficient, the system will give priority to meeting the demand of the hot water supply system to ensure that the basic living needs of users are not affected.
[0103] Step 303: If there is still waste heat in the electrolytic flue gas after performing the above steps, during the heating period, according to the operating status of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, through the heating system, based on the electrolytic flue gas waste heat, heating is carried out; during the cooling period, according to the operating status of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, through the waste heat refrigeration system, it is used to cool based on the electrolytic flue gas waste heat;
[0104] Waste heat utilization during the heating period: During the heating season, the automatic control system distributes the remaining electrolytic flue gas waste heat to the heating system. The waste heat is transferred to the heating medium (such as hot water) through a heat exchanger, which is used to provide heating for the office area, living area, etc. The system dynamically adjusts the heating intensity according to the indoor and outdoor temperatures and user needs to ensure the heating effect.
[0105] Waste heat utilization during the cooling period: During the non-heating season, the automatic control system distributes the remaining electrolytic flue gas waste heat to the waste heat refrigeration system. The waste heat refrigeration system (such as a lithium bromide unit) uses the waste heat for refrigeration, and the chilled water produced is regulated through the heating pipe network and valve group and supplied to the cold points such as the power distribution room, high-voltage frequency conversion room, and production process use, meeting the cooling needs of safe production and the office and living areas. The system dynamically adjusts the refrigeration intensity according to the ambient temperature and cooling demand to ensure the refrigeration effect.
[0106] Step 304: If there is still electrolytic flue gas waste heat after performing the above steps, based on the electrolytic flue gas waste heat, heating of the raw water and condensate water in the power plant is carried out.
[0107] After meeting the requirements of the hot water supply system, heating system, and waste heat refrigeration system, the remaining electrolytic flue gas waste heat is distributed to the raw water and condensate water heating system in the power plant. The waste heat is transferred to the raw water and condensate water of the power plant through a heat exchanger, increasing the temperature of the raw water and condensate water and reducing the power plant's dependence on steam during the heating process of the raw water and condensate water.
[0108] The automatic control system dynamically adjusts the operating power of the heat exchanger according to the temperature requirements of the raw water and condensate water in the power plant and the supply of waste heat to ensure the efficiency and stability of the raw water and condensate water heating. If the waste heat is insufficient, the system will adjust the steam supply of the power plant heating system to ensure the stability of the raw water and condensate water temperature.
[0109] By using the electrolytic flue gas waste heat for raw water and condensate water heating, the steam consumption of the power plant during the raw water and condensate water heating process is reduced, and the overall energy utilization efficiency of the power plant is improved. This optimization not only reduces the operating cost of the power plant but also reduces the pollutant emissions generated by burning fossil fuels, with significant environmental benefits.
[0110] Through the above steps, the electrolytic flue gas waste heat has been deeply recovered and utilized in multiple ways, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the system, while achieving the maximization of energy conservation, consumption reduction, and environmental benefits.
[0111] In some embodiments, if the automatic control system includes: a plurality of valves and a plurality of instruments provided on the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system, and sensors provided on the electrolytic flue gas waste heat recovery system;
[0112] The utilization method further includes: determining and adjusting the operating state of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat deep recovery and multi - utilization system based on the data collected by the sensors and instruments.
[0113] Specifically, a variety of sensors and instruments are installed in the system to collect parameters such as the temperature, pressure, and flow rate of the electrolytic flue gas in real - time, as well as the operating states of each subsystem. The collected data is transmitted to the control unit (such as PLC or DCS) of the automatic control system by wired or wireless means.
[0114] Data processing and analysis: The automatic control system monitors the collected data in real - time to determine whether the operating state of the system is normal. Through data analysis algorithms, the automatic control system processes the collected data and extracts key information, such as the change trend of flue gas temperature, waste heat utilization efficiency, etc.
[0115] System regulation: According to the data analysis results, the automatic control system optimizes the distribution of flue gas by adjusting the opening degree of the valves to ensure that the waste heat can be efficiently utilized. The automatic control system controls the operating states of relevant equipment as needed, such as starting or stopping the lithium bromide unit, adjusting the flow rate of the circulating water pump, etc. The automatic control system optimizes the operating parameters of the system according to real - time data, such as adjusting the temperature set value of the heating system, optimizing the cooling capacity of the refrigeration system, etc. The system adopts closed - loop control and continuously adjusts the operating state through a feedback mechanism to ensure the stability and efficiency of the system.
[0116] When abnormal situations (such as too high temperature, abnormal pressure, etc.) are detected, the automatic control system will send out an alarm signal and take corresponding measures (such as closing the valves, stopping the equipment operation, etc.) to protect the system.
[0117] Specific application scenarios:
[0118] Heating regulation: During the heating season, the automatic control system adjusts the opening degree of the valves leading to the heating system according to the flue gas temperature and heating demand to ensure the heating effect.
[0119] Cooling regulation: During the non - heating season, the automatic control system adjusts the opening degree of the valves leading to the waste heat refrigeration system according to the cooling demand and flue gas temperature to optimize the cooling effect.
[0120] Raw water and condensate heating regulation: The automatic control system adjusts the opening degree of the valves leading to the raw water and condensate heating system of the power plant according to the raw water and condensate temperature and waste heat supply situation to ensure the stability of raw water and condensate heating.
[0121] Hot water supply regulation: The automatic control system adjusts the valve opening degree leading to the hot water supply system according to the hot water demand and the waste heat supply situation, optimizing the hot water supply.
[0122] In the solution provided by this application, through real-time data adjustment, it ensures the maximization of waste heat utilization efficiency and reduces energy waste; the closed-loop control and feedback mechanism ensure the stable operation of the system and avoid system failures caused by parameter fluctuations; the automatic adjustment function reduces manual intervention and improves the intelligent level of the system; the system can flexibly adjust according to real-time data to adapt to different working conditions and demand changes.
[0123] Based on the data collected by sensors and instruments, the automatic control system can monitor and adjust the operating state of the electrolytic flue gas waste heat deep recovery and multi - utilization system in real time. This design not only improves the energy - saving effect and operating stability of the system, but also enhances the intelligence and adaptability of the system, bringing significant economic and environmental benefits to the enterprise.
