Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning waste heat recovery, and in particular to a waste heat recovery and utilization device for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Background Art

[0002] In modern building HVAC systems, energy consumption accounts for approximately 30%-50% of the building's total energy consumption. The waste heat generated during air-conditioning operation, such as high-temperature fluid discharged from the cooling system and compressor heat dissipation, is usually directly discharged into the environment, causing serious energy waste. Therefore, how to efficiently recover this waste heat has become a key issue in the field of building energy conservation.

[0003] Referring to patent CN202311807308.2, a heat recovery system for HVAC is disclosed, which relates to the field of air conditioning waste heat recovery. The system includes a support frame, on which a heat preservation tank and a waste heat utilization device are fixed. The waste heat utilization device includes a waste heat recovery mechanism and a waste heat distribution mechanism. Using this method, during the HVAC waste heat recovery and utilization process, the waste heat distribution mechanism can actively adjust the heat distribution mode according to the heat dissipation of the HVAC, so that the waste heat recovery mechanism can recover the waste heat more efficiently and improve the waste heat utilization effect.

[0004] Based on the search of the above patents and combined with the current waste heat recovery device, it is found that the existing technology still has the following two deficiencies: First, traditional waste heat recovery devices mostly use simple tubular heat exchangers to achieve heat transfer through direct fluid heat exchange. This results in limited heat exchange area and short contact time between the high-temperature fluid and the medium, resulting in insufficient heat transfer. Secondly, there is a lack of efficient energy storage mechanism. When the amount of waste heat generated does not match the heat demand, such as when the heat load is reduced at night, the excess heat cannot be stored, resulting in energy waste. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Furthermore, three partitions are evenly installed inside the first heat recovery tank, and the interior of the first heat recovery tank is filled with sodium sulfate decahydrate.

[0012] Furthermore, the first release pipe is distributed inside the first heat recovery tank in an S-shaped structure, and the first release pipe is fixedly connected to the partition.

A first guide tube 401 is fixedly mounted on the right end of the conversion box 4, and a second guide tube 402 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the conversion box 4. A first heat recovery tank 6 is provided with a cover plate 601 at the upper end of the first heat recovery tank 6. The cover plate 601 is connected to the first heat recovery tank 6 by bolts. A first release pipe 7 and a water pipe 8 are installed inside the first heat recovery tank 6. The second heat recovery tank 9 has through pipes installed at its upper and lower ends, and a second release pipe 10 is installed inside the second heat recovery tank 9 .

[0026] Among them, the outside of the heat absorption tube 1 is connected to two sleeves 101, and two thin sheets 1011 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the sleeve 101. The outer end face of the first collecting pipe 2 is fixedly installed with a water outlet pipe 201, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the conversion box 4. During use, the main body of the heat absorption tube 1 is a semicircular structure, and the two heat absorption tubes 1 are connected by a clamp, so that the two heat absorption tubes 1 can be docked together to form a heat absorption channel. When the air conditioner is running, the high-temperature fluid passes through the outside of the heat absorption tube 1, and the heat is transferred to the medium in the tube through the tube wall to heat the medium. The sleeve 101 and the thin sheet 1011 can be made of copper material, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0027] Among them, the first guide pipe 401 at the right end of the conversion box 4 is connected to the first release pipe 7, the water outlet end of the first release pipe 7 is fixedly installed with the first return pipe 701, and the end of the first return pipe 701 is fixedly connected to the second collecting pipe 3, so that the medium can circulate inside the pipeline.

[0028] Among them, the second guide pipe 402 at the left end of the conversion box 4 is interconnected with the second release pipe 10 inside the second heat recovery tank 9. The second release pipe 10 is arranged in a spiral structure. The end of the second release pipe 10 is fixedly installed with a second return water pipe 1001.

During use, the driving motor 5 drives the guide plate 5011 at the outer end of the driving shaft 501 to rotate, so that the guide plate 5011 rotates from the right side to the left side of the conversion box 4, so that the guide plate 5011 will block the second guide tube 402 on the left, allowing the heated medium to enter the first guide tube 401.

[0032] Example 2, based on Example 1, Figures 1-9 As shown, a temperature sensor can be installed inside the second heat recovery tank 9, and a controller can be installed at the outer end of the second heat recovery tank 9, so that the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the drive motor 5 respectively. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the water inside the second heat recovery tank 9. When the water temperature inside the second heat recovery tank 9 rises to a certain level, it means that fewer people use hot water at the current stage, and after the water temperature rises, the heat absorption rate inside the medium will decrease. At this time, the temperature sensor can transmit the signal to the controller, and the controller sends a start signal to the drive motor 5. After receiving the signal, the drive motor 5 can drive the guide plate 5011 outside the drive shaft 501 to rotate, so that the medium flows through the first release pipe 7, so that the heat can be temporarily stored in the sodium sulfate decahydrate in the first heat recovery tank 6.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In the present invention, the main body of the heat absorption tube 1 is a semicircular structure, and the two heat absorption tubes 1 are connected by a clamp, so that the two heat absorption tubes 1 can be butted together to form a heat absorption channel. When the air conditioner is running, the high-temperature fluid passes through the outside of the heat absorption tube 1, and the heat is transferred to the medium in the tube through the tube wall to heat the medium. The outside of the heat absorption tube 1 is sleeved with a sleeve 101, and two thin sheets 1011 are symmetrically installed on the outer end surface of the sleeve 101. The sleeve 101 and the thin sheets 1011 can be made of copper material, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency. In this way, the heat absorption efficiency is improved by increasing the contact area, and the medium inside the pipeline can be heated. The heated medium will enter the first collecting pipe 2 through the connecting pipe 102 at the right end. , and enters the interior of the conversion box 4 through the outlet pipe 201. The upper end surface of the conversion box 4 is fixedly installed with a drive motor 5, and the lower end surface of the drive motor 5 is transmission-connected with a drive shaft 501. The outer end surface of the drive shaft 501 is fixedly installed with a guide plate 5011. By setting the guide plate 5011, the heated medium can be diverted to different directions. First, the guide plate 5011 is rotated to the right to block the through hole on the surface of the right end side plate of the conversion box 4. In this way, the medium will enter the second guide pipe 402 and enter the second release pipe 10 through the second guide pipe 402. The second release pipe 10 is located inside the second heat recovery tank 9, so the medium can heat the water inside the second heat recovery tank 9 when flowing through the second release pipe 10, which is convenient for People's use has achieved the purpose of waste heat recovery. After the heat inside the medium is released, it will enter the second collecting pipe 3 through the second return water pipe 1001, and then enter the heat absorption pipe 1 from the left connecting pipe 102 to realize a cycle. When the water temperature inside the second heat recovery tank 9 rises to a certain temperature, the efficiency of the second release pipe 10 in releasing heat will decrease. At this time, the drive motor 5 can be started, and the drive motor 5 drives the guide plate 5011 at the outer end of the drive shaft 501 to rotate, so that the guide plate 5011 rotates from the right side of the conversion box 4 to the left side, so that the guide plate 5011 will block the second guide pipe 402 on the left side, allowing the heated medium to enter the first guide pipe 401. The first guide pipe 401 is connected to the first release pipe 7. They are interconnected, and the first release pipe 7 is located inside the first heat recovery tank 6. When the medium passes through the first release pipe 7, it can release heat to the outside, and the sodium sulfate decahydrate can change from solid to liquid after absorbing the heat, thereby storing this part of the heat. After releasing the heat, the medium enters the second collecting pipe 3 from the first return water pipe 701, and then enters the heat absorption pipe 1 from the left connecting pipe 102, realizing a cycle. When people need to use this part of the heat in the later stage, cold water can be passed through the water pipe 8. At this time, the sodium sulfate decahydrate will change from liquid to solid, and release the stored heat to the outside, which can heat the water inside the water pipe 8 and realize the reuse of waste heat. The water pipe 8 and the first release pipe 7 are both arranged in an S-shaped structure.This increases the flow time of the medium inside the pipe and improves the heat exchange efficiency.
