Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste heat recovery, and in particular to an absorption and compression open flue gas full heat recovery system. Background Art

[0002] Gas-fired boilers are important heat sources in industrial production, but high-temperature flue gas emissions result in significant energy waste. Traditional flue gas waste heat recovery methods are limited by the flue gas dew point, preventing the effective recovery of latent heat in the flue gas. This results in low waste heat recovery efficiency and the susceptibility to plume. Furthermore, the quality of recovered waste heat is limited by the flue gas temperature, making it unable to meet the high-quality heat demand in production.

[0003] The first type of absorption heat pump exploits the deviation in the refrigerant's saturation partial pressure at different working fluid temperatures. By inputting a small amount of high-temperature heat, it transfers heat from a low-temperature heat source to a medium-temperature heat source, thereby increasing medium-temperature thermal energy. By coupling a compression component or vapor compression system, the output heat energy quality can be flexibly adjusted while reducing the temperature requirement for the high-quality heat source. Therefore, absorption-compression hybrid heat pump systems hold great promise for flue gas waste heat recovery.

[0004] Patent publication number CN115711401A, titled "A Low-Grade Flue Gas Waste Heat Recovery System Based on an Absorption Heat Pump," discloses a low-grade flue gas waste heat recovery system. This system utilizes exhaust steam from a boiler turbine to drive an absorption heat pump, employs spray water for heat and mass exchange with the flue gas, and simultaneously exchanges return water from the spray tower with the evaporator of the absorption heat pump to recover waste heat from the flue gas. However, the indirect heat exchange between the flue gas and the heat pump system reduces heat recovery efficiency and makes it impossible to adjust the quality of the output heat energy.

[0005] The patent document with publication number CN116772268 A and invention name "Deep recovery system of flue gas waste heat of composite heat pump" discloses a composite flue gas heat recovery system. The device divides the spray tower into two sections, high temperature and low temperature, and uses an absorption heat pump system, a steam compression heat pump system, and a circulating water system in parallel to perform gradient waste heat recovery on the flue gas in the spray tower. However, the flue gas is in a saturated state when discharged, and there is still a risk of white plume phenomenon, and the water vapor in the flue gas cannot be recovered in a clean manner.
