[0022] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0023] (1) Compared with the separate refrigeration equipment and heating equipment in the prior art, the NMP waste liquid purification cold and heat combined supply system has the advantages of compact structure, small occupied area, and the electric energy for supplying power to the compressor in the cold and heat combined supply system is converted into the cold and heat required by the NMP waste liquid purification device at the same time, which improves the electric energy utilization rate in the NMP waste liquid purification process and reduces the heating and cooling energy consumption and cost.

[0024] (2) The NMP waste liquid purification cold and heat combined supply system can divide a larger total temperature difference into two sections through a condensation evaporator, use the high-temperature refrigerating capacity to bear the condensation load of the low-temperature level, and obtain a lower refrigeration temperature, so as to generate a cold end and a heat end with a huge temperature difference in a cold and heat combined supply system.

[0025] (3) The NMP waste liquid purification cold and heat combined supply system can send the excess heat into the end heat using equipment after the cold and heat supply of the NMP waste liquid purification device is preferentially met, the cold capacity lacking in the NMP waste liquid purification device is provided by the additional cold source, and a small amount of energy remaining after being used by the NMP waste liquid purification device and the end heat using equipment is recovered to the cascade cold and heat combined supply system through the circulating water (i.e. condensation water and high-temperature chilled water) again, so that the cold and heat generated by the consumed electric energy (for supplying power to the compressor) of the entire cold and heat combined supply system is efficiently utilized, and additional heat emission or cold emission to the surrounding environment is basically avoided, which is energy-saving and environment-friendly.

[0026] (4) The cold-heat combined supply system based on NMP waste liquid purification can flexibly adjust the heat for the end heat-using equipment, so that the generated heat of the cold-heat combined supply system is preferentially used to meet the real-time change of the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, the additional cold provided by the additional cold source is only used to meet the real-time change of the cold change demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, the purification efficiency of the NMP waste liquid is improved, and the operation safety of the cascade cold-heat combined supply system is ensured.

[0027] (5) The control method based on heat load of the application can ensure that each compressor is in an open state during operation, so that each compressor can quickly respond to the change demand of the load, and the response rate and the flexibility of adjustment of the entire cold-heat combined supply system are improved.

[0028] (6) The control method of the application ensures that the load of each compressor is in a healthy state, so that the service life of the compressor and the entire cold-heat combined supply system is improved, and the operation and maintenance cost of the cold-heat combined supply system is reduced.

[0029] (7) The control method of the application is based on heat, and the heat required by the NMP waste liquid purification device is real-time changeable, which will cause a lag change in the high-temperature hot water temperature T4; if the heat that cannot be consumed by the NMP waste liquid purification device in time exists in the cold-heat combined supply system, the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 will be too high to cause the cold-heat combined supply system to stop working; therefore, the control method of the application needs to ensure that the heat that cannot be consumed by the NMP waste liquid purification device in time cannot make the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 too high while providing enough heat for the NMP waste liquid purification device. Moreover, because the heat required by the NMP waste liquid purification device is real-time changeable, it is not feasible to know the heat demand first and then accurately adjust the heat supply of the cold-heat combined supply system. In the control method of the application, the most creative part is to use the change of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 to measure the real-time change of the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, and to directly control the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 in the second ideal temperature range, so as to ensure that the heat supplied to the NMP waste liquid purification device is sufficient and the cold-heat combined supply system will not stop working. Avoiding the stop working also further prolongs the service life of the cold-heat combined supply system.

[0030] (8) The control method of the application also meets the condition that the load of each compressor is in a healthy state, and preferentially reduces the load of each compressor to reduce the power consumption of the entire combined cooling and heating system; under the premise of meeting these conditions, the excess heat is supplied to the end heat equipment. That is, the control method of the application not only can meet the real-time heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, improve the NMP waste liquid purification efficiency, and reduce the power consumption in the system operation process as much as possible; and through flexible adjustment measures, the unused heat of the NMP waste liquid purification device is utilized (supplied to the end heat equipment), which also greatly improves the service life of the entire combined cooling and heating system.

[0031] (9) In the control method of the application, all situations that may occur in the entire combined cooling and heating system are covered, and preventive dynamic adjustment is also made for the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 that dynamically fluctuates in the second ideal temperature range, further reducing the adverse effects of the lagging change of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 on the "stabilization of the high-temperature hot water temperature in the second ideal temperature range", and maximizing the control of the high-temperature hot water temperature in the second ideal temperature range. Preventive dynamic adjustment is also made for the high-temperature hot water temperature that is already in the second ideal temperature range, which further improves the response speed of the entire combined cooling and heating system to the heat supply change at the next moment.

[0032] (10) The control method of the application can calculate the heat Q1 supplied to the current NMP waste liquid purification device (i.e. supplied to all evaporation tanks) and the required additional cold Q4 in the combined cooling and heating system while ensuring that the current heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device is met, ensuring that the supply amount of the additional cold Q4 can meet the demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, and further reducing the adverse effects of the lagging change of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 on the "dynamic stabilization of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 in the second ideal temperature range" and the "dynamic stabilization of the first chilled water temperature T1 in the first ideal temperature range".

The water outlet of the end heat utilization device HET and the water outlets of all the evaporation tanks ET are connected to the water inlet of the condensate recovery tank TANK2, and the water outlet of the condensate recovery tank TANK2 is connected to the water supplement inlet of the flash tank TANK1; the condensate recovery pump PUMP3 is arranged on the pipeline between the water outlet of the condensate recovery tank TANK2 and the water supplement inlet of the flash tank TANK1.

[0057] Optionally, a vapor flow meter F2 is arranged at the first gas outlet end of the first three-way valve TWV1 to measure the flow of high-temperature vapor entering all the evaporation tanks ET.

[0058] Optionally, a water supplement flow meter F3 is arranged at the water outlet of the condensate recovery tank TANK2 to measure the flow of condensate from the condensate recovery tank TANK2 back to the flash tank TANK1; and a fourth flow meter F4 is arranged at the gas outlet of the flash tank TANK1 to measure the flow of vapor discharged from the gas outlet of the flash tank TANK1.

[0059] The cold-heat combined supply system of the embodiment is a closed system, and the condensate obtained after all the evaporation tanks ET and / or the end heat utilization device HET are used needs to be returned to the flash tank TANK1 to ensure normal operation of the system. However, the condensate has a small pressure, and when the pipeline between the water supplement inlet of the flash tank TANK1 and the water outlet of the evaporation tank ET is long, the resistance will be large, and the condensate cannot be directly returned to the flash tank TANK1. Therefore, the existence of the condensate recovery tank TANK2 and the condensate recovery pump PUMP3 can ensure that the condensate is stably and smoothly recovered to the flash tank TANK1. The condensate is first temporarily stored in the condensate recovery tank TANK2, the power of the condensate recovery pump PUMP3 is adjusted, the flow from the water outlet of the condensate recovery tank TANK2 is made equal to the flow of vapor discharged from the gas outlet of the flash tank TANK1, the condensate is stably returned to the flash tank TANK1, and the pressure in the flash tank TANK1 is maintained. The condensate recovery process is not unstable, and the water in the flash tank TANK1 is not subjected to a large impact, further improving the safety of the cold-heat combined supply system of the embodiment.

[0060] Optionally, an additional water inlet and an additional water outlet are arranged on the flash tank TANK1 (not shown in the figure), and the additional water inlet and the additional water outlet are usually closed. When the temperature inside the flash tank TANK1 exceeds a set threshold, the additional water inlet is opened to introduce low-temperature pure water, and the flow is adjusted to ensure that the flash tank TANK1 does not overheat; when the liquid level in the flash tank TANK1 exceeds a set threshold, the additional water outlet is opened to drain water.

[0061] The working process of the NMP waste liquid purification cold-heat combined supply system of the embodiment is described below.

[0062] At the beginning of the operation of the NMP waste liquid purification cold-heat combined power system, the exhaust valve EV is closed, and the first electric valve MV1 and the second electric valve MV2 are both opened. After the operation starts, the chilled water not only flows through each condenser CT, but also flows through the additional cold source ECS, that is, the cold energy in the chilled water and the additional cold energy provided by the additional cold source ECS are used together to cool the condenser CT. The original high-temperature chilled water flowing out of each condenser CT and the additional low-temperature chilled water flowing out of the additional cold source ECS are mixed to form high-temperature chilled water in the NMP waste liquid purification device total water outlet pipe, so that the water temperature of the high-temperature chilled water is not too high, so as to ensure the condensation efficiency of the NMP waste liquid purification device. The high-temperature chilled water is provided with circulating power by the chilled water pump PUMP1, and after heat exchange and cooling in the high-temperature side of the first heat exchanger H1, it becomes low-temperature chilled water, and then flows into the NMP waste liquid purification device total water inlet pipe again.

[0063] The temperature range of the low-temperature chilled water is 5-10 degrees Celsius; in this embodiment, it is 7 degrees Celsius. The temperature range of the high-temperature chilled water is 15-30 degrees Celsius; in this embodiment, it is X degrees Celsius.

[0064] The low-temperature first refrigerant flows through the low-temperature side of the first heat exchanger H1, is then compressed in the first compressor group COMP1, and becomes high-temperature first refrigerant after being compressed and pressurized, and then enters the first condensing pipe of the first cascade heat exchanger FH1, exchanges heat with the second refrigerant flowing through the first evaporating pipe of the first cascade heat exchanger FH1, and is cooled to become low-temperature first refrigerant, and then flows out of the first cascade heat exchanger FH1, and flows through the low-temperature side of the first heat exchanger H1 again and continuously circulates.

[0065] In this embodiment, the temperature range of the low-temperature first refrigerant is 10-12 degrees Celsius; the temperature range of the high-temperature first refrigerant is 60-70 degrees Celsius.

[0066] The low-temperature second refrigerant flows through the first evaporating pipe of the first cascade heat exchanger FH1, is then compressed in the second compressor group COMP2, and becomes high-temperature second refrigerant after being compressed and pressurized, and then enters the second condensing pipe of the second cascade heat exchanger FH2, exchanges heat with the hot water flowing through the hot water pipe of the second cascade heat exchanger FH2, and is cooled to become low-temperature second refrigerant, and then flows out of the second cascade heat exchanger FH2, and flows through the first evaporating pipe of the first cascade heat exchanger FH1 again and continuously circulates.

[0067] In this embodiment, the temperature range of the low-temperature second refrigerant is 60-65 degrees Celsius; the temperature range of the high-temperature second refrigerant is 125-130 degrees Celsius.

[0068] The circulating power is provided by the hot water pump PUMP2, the low-temperature hot water at the bottom of the flash tank TANK1 flows through the hot water pipeline in the second cascade heat exchanger FH2 to become high-temperature hot water; the high-temperature hot water enters the flash tank TANK1 and is decompressed, part of which becomes water vapor at the top of the flash tank TANK1, and part of which becomes low-temperature hot water stored at the bottom of the flash tank TANK1; the water vapor flows out from the top of the flash tank TANK1 and enters the third compressor COMP3 to be compressed to high-temperature steam.

[0069] In the embodiment, the temperature of the low-temperature hot water is 105℃; the temperature of the water vapor at the top of the flash tank TANK1 is 115℃; the temperature of the high-temperature hot water is 120℃ (in a closed system, the temperature of the high-temperature hot water can be kept at 120℃ by pressure); and the temperature of the high-temperature steam is 130℃.

[0070] The first three-way valve TWV1 adjusts the valve opening degree of the first gas outlet and the second gas outlet according to the dew point measured by the dew point sensor in the evaporation tank ET, so that part of the high-temperature steam is used to heat the evaporation tank ET, and the other part of the high-temperature steam is used to heat the end-use heat equipment HET. After heating, the high-temperature steam is liquefied into condensed water, which flows out from the water outlet of each evaporation tank ET and the water outlet of the end-use heat equipment HET, respectively, and enters the bottom of the flash tank TANK1 from the water supplement port of the flash tank TANK1 to become low-temperature hot water.

[0071] Compared with the separate refrigeration equipment and heating equipment in the prior art, the NMP waste liquid purification cold and heat combined supply system in the embodiment has a compact structure and a small footprint, and the electric energy used to power the compressor in the cold and heat combined supply system is converted into the cold and heat required by the NMP waste liquid purification device at the same time, thereby improving the electric energy utilization rate in the NMP waste liquid purification process and reducing the heating and cooling energy consumption and cost.

[0072] The NMP waste liquid purification cold and heat combined supply system in the embodiment can divide a larger total temperature difference into two sections by a condenser-evaporator, use the high-temperature refrigeration capacity to bear the condensing load of the low-temperature stage, and obtain a lower refrigeration temperature, so as to generate a cold end and a heat end with a huge temperature difference in a cold and heat combined supply system, and the difference between the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant is also to assist the cold and heat combined supply system in the embodiment to divide the temperature difference.

[0073] The cold and heat supply of the NMP waste liquid purification cold-heat combined supply system can be sent to the end cold / heat equipment after the NMP waste liquid purification device is preferentially satisfied, and a small amount of energy remaining after being used by the NMP waste liquid purification device (and the end cold / heat equipment) can be recovered to the cascade cold-heat combined supply system again through the circulating water (i.e. low-temperature hot water and high-temperature chilled water), so that the cold and heat generated by the entire cold-heat combined supply system consumed by the electric energy (for power supply of the compressor) are efficiently utilized, and additional heat discharge or cold discharge to the surrounding environment is basically avoided, energy saving and environmental protection are achieved.

[0074] The NMP waste liquid purification cold-heat combined supply system can flexibly adjust the cold and heat for the end cold / heat equipment, so that the generated cold and heat of the cold-heat combined supply system is preferentially used for the NMP waste liquid purification device with real-time changes of the cold and heat demand, the purification efficiency of the NMP waste liquid is improved, and the operation safety of the cascade cold-heat combined supply system is ensured.

[0075] According to the verification of the technical personnel, compared with the refrigeration equipment and heating equipment separately set up for the NMP waste liquid purification process in the prior art, the NMP waste liquid purification cold-heat combined supply system has a reduced land occupation area by 80%, a reduced power consumption by 30%, and an increased purification efficiency of the NMP waste liquid by 50%.

[0076] Embodiment 2

[0077] When the cold-heat combined supply system based on NMP waste liquid purification preferentially satisfies the heat demand of the evaporation tank ET in the NMP waste liquid purification device, that is, the heat supply is equal to the heat demand, the cold supply of the cold-heat combined supply system is about 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the heat supply. However, according to the law of conservation of heat, in the NMP waste liquid purification device, the heat and cold required in the purification process of the same amount of NMP waste liquid at the same time are the same regardless of the real-time changes of the heat demand. This leads to the fact that the cold supplied by the cold-heat combined supply system cannot meet the cold demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, so in this embodiment, an additional cold source is used to provide additional cold to ensure that the NMP vapor in the condensation tank CT in the NMP waste liquid purification device is efficiently condensed.

[0078] In addition, the yield of NMP waste liquid is not fixed and is directly affected by the increase, decrease and start-stop of the production line. That is, the heat required by all evaporation tanks ET in the NMP waste liquid purification device is not fixed, and even can be mutated (for example, a new tank of NMP waste liquid needs to be purified; or the purification of a tank of NMP waste liquid has just been completed, and there is no new NMP waste liquid to be purified at present).

[0079] Therefore, the heat supply of the cold-heat combined supply system is generally greater than the total heat required by all the evaporation tanks ET in the NMP waste liquid purification device; and we need the cold-heat combined supply system to respond to the changing heat demand in time, and when the heat demand increases, the cold supply is increased; when the cold demand decreases, the heat supply is reduced or the excess heat is sent to the end heat using equipment HET. Correspondingly, the additional cold source ECS of the cold-heat combined supply system also needs to provide the corresponding additional cold in time, together with the cold generated by the cold end of the cascade cold water heat pump unit, to supply all the condensers CT of the NMP waste liquid purification device.

[0080] The embodiment provides a heat load-based control method for controlling an NMP waste liquid purification cold-heat combined supply system as described in Embodiment 1 based on a heat load:

[0081] S1, close the exhaust valve EV, start an NMP waste liquid purification cold-heat combined supply system, and adjust the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 to an initial load P1.

[0082] S2, real-time monitor the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1, the first chilled water temperature T1, the second high-temperature vapor temperature T2, the third condensate water temperature T3, and the high-temperature hot water temperature T4; by adjusting the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1, the valve opening degree of the outlet of the first three-way valve TWV1, and the power of the cold water pump PUMP4, the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is in a healthy state, the first chilled water temperature T1 fluctuates within a first ideal temperature interval, and the high-temperature hot water temperature fluctuates within a second ideal temperature interval.

[0083] In the embodiment, T1'=5°C, T1''=8°C, T4'=120°C, and T4''=125°C; P0 is 50% of the full load, and P1 is 53% of the full load.

[0084] In the embodiment, T1'=5°C, T1''=8°C, T4'=120°C, and T4''=125°C; P0 is 50% of the full load, and P1 is 53% of the full load.

[0085] In S2, the following is included:

[0086] ① If the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4 < T4´´, then close the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1, and increase the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1.

[0087] Because the heat required by the NMP waste liquid purification device is uncertain and may suddenly change, it is not practical to calculate the heat required at the current time and then control the combined cooling heating system to provide the corresponding heat.

[0088] We determine whether the current heat supply of the combined cooling heating system can meet the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device by monitoring the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 in real time. We hope that the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 can be kept as constant as possible at the ideal temperature T * , where T4´ ≤ T * ≤ T4´´, which means that the current heat supply of the combined cooling heating system can fully meet the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device. Considering that the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 is difficult to maintain at the ideal temperature T * without change, we settle for keeping the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 as stable as possible within the second ideal temperature interval. Therefore, when the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4 < T4´´, we believe that the current heat supply of the combined cooling heating system is far from meeting the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, so we keep the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1 closed regardless of whether it is already open, and increase the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 to rapidly increase the heat supply of the combined cooling heating system.

[0089] In this embodiment, T * = 123℃.

[0090] ② If the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4´ ≤ T4 ≤ T4´´, the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 continuously rises in the previous △t time period, and the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is currently above P1, then reduce the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1.

[0091] If the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4'≤T4≤T4'', we consider that the heat provided by the combined cooling and heating system can basically meet the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device. On the one hand, the change of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 caused by the change of the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device is lagging; on the other hand, in order to respond to the heat demand in time, we need to ensure that all the compressors in the first compressor group COMP1 are turned on; in addition, we need to hope that the load of each turned-on compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is maintained above P0, so that the compressor is in a healthy state, prolonging the service life of the compressor and the entire combined cooling and heating system.

[0092] The health state load set by the skilled person for each turned-on compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is obtained after considering the health state of each compressor in the second compressor group COMP2 and the health state of the third compressor COMP3. Therefore, as long as each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is in a healthy state, the second compressor group COMP2 and the third compressor COMP3 are naturally in a healthy state.

[0093] It should be noted that if the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 rises to more than T4'', it will cause the second compressor group COMP2 to shut down due to excessive temperature, thereby causing the combined cooling and heating system based on NMP waste liquid purification to shut down. When the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is less than P0 for a long time, each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 will also shut down due to damage, thereby causing the combined cooling and heating system to shut down.

[0094] Therefore, we combine the change trend of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 in the previous△t time period to make preventive adjustments: if the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 continues to rise in the previous△t time period, in order to avoid the heat supply continuing to increase at the next moment, that is, to avoid the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 continuing to rise or even rapidly rising to more than T4'', we need to reduce the heat supply. However, considering that the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is still above P1, we reduce the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1, thereby saving the power consumption while reducing the heat supply.

[0095] ③ If the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4'≤T4≤T4'', and the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 continues to rise in the previous△t time, and the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is less than P1, then the valve opening degree of the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1 is increased.

[0096] We think that the heat provided by the combined cooling and heating system can basically meet the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device at present, but the heat demand may continue to increase in the next moment so as to exceed the heat demand, that is, the heat not used by the NMP waste liquid purification device is increased.

[0097] But because the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 has been less than P1 at this time, we reduce the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1, which may lead to the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 being P0, that is, being at the limit of the healthy state of the compressor, so our preventive adjustment is to increase the valve opening degree of the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1 to send more heat not used by the NMP waste liquid purification device into the end heat using equipment HET to avoid the subsequent high-temperature hot water temperature T4 exceeding T4´´.

[0098] ④If the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4´≤T4≤T4´´, the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 continuously decreases in the previous△t time period, and the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is above P1 at present, if the valve of the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1 is opened, the valve opening degree of the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1 is reduced; if the valve of the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1 is closed, the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is increased.

[0099] We think that the heat provided by the combined cooling and heating system can basically meet the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device at present, but the heat demand may continue to increase in the next moment so as to exceed the heat demand, that is, the heat not used by the NMP waste liquid purification device is increased.

[0100] ⑤If the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4´≤T4≤T4´´, and the first chilled water temperature T1 continuously decreases in the previous△t time, and the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is less than P1 at present, the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is increased.

[0101] We think that the heat provided by the combined cooling and heating system can basically meet the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device at present, but the heat demand may continue to decrease next time, and considering that the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is less than P1 at present, in order to ensure that the compressor is in a healthy state, our preventive adjustment is to increase the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1.

[0102] If the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4>T4´´, and the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is greater than P1 at present, then reduce the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1.

[0103] Regardless of whether the end-use heat equipment HET participates in heat use, we think that the heat provided by the combined cooling and heating system has far exceeded the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device at present, and the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is in a healthy state above P1 at present, so we reduce the heat supply of the combined cooling and heating system by reducing the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 at present, reduce the temperature of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4, and avoid the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 exceeding T4´´ for a long time to cause the combined cooling and heating system to shut down.

[0104] If the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4>T4´´, and the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is less than P1 at present, then increase the valve opening of the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1.

[0105] Based on the analysis of ⑥, in order to avoid the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 exceeding T4´´ for a long time, and also to ensure the health status of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 at present, we increase the valve opening of the second gas outlet end of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1 to send more heat that is not used by the NMP waste liquid purification device into the end-use heat equipment HET. If the high-temperature hot water temperature T4´≤T4≤T4´´ next time, and the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 is less than P1 at present, then according to the case ⑤, after processing, the load of each compressor in the first compressor group COMP1 can be gradually increased to a healthy state.

[0106] In S2, based on the above seven cases, the power of the cold water supplement pump PUMP4 can be adjusted according to the following formula, so that the additional cold source ECS supplies additional cold Q4 to the current cooling module through the water supply flow rate q, so that the first chilled water T1 is in the first ideal temperature interval, and the total cooling capacity of the NMP waste liquid purification device is ensured, thereby ensuring the purification efficiency of the NMP waste liquid purification device:

[0107] Q1=[C×(T2-T3)+(h1-h2)]×ρ×f2; Q2=[(COP-1) / (1+COP)]×Q1; Q3=Q1; Q4=Q3-Q2; q=Q4 / (C×△T);

[0108] Where Q1 represents the heat demand of the current NMP waste liquid purification unit, in kW; C represents the specific heat capacity of water, which is 4.18 kJ / (kg·℃); f2 represents the high-temperature steam measured by the current steam flow meter F2, in m³ / s. 3 / s; h1 represents the specific enthalpy of water vapor at the current temperature T2, in kJ / kg; h2 represents the specific enthalpy of saturated water at the current temperature T2, in kJ / kg; Q2 represents the cooling capacity of the cascade chiller-heat pump unit under the condition of heating capacity Q1; COP represents the coefficient of performance of the cascade chiller-heat pump unit, which is obtained by actual measurement by each manufacturer, and this value is usually 2 to 3; the first heat Q3 represents the cooling capacity requirement of the current NMP waste liquid purification device; △T represents the inlet and outlet water temperature difference set by the additional cold source ECS; the water supply flow rate q is in kg / s and can be directly measured by the water supply flow meter F1.

[0109] In S2, when the water supply flow rate q=0, the current high-temperature hot water temperature T4>T4´´, and the valve opening of the first air outlet of the first three-way regulating valve TWV1 is at its maximum, if the first chilled water T1<T1´, then the heating water pump PUMP5 is turned on. At this time, the heating supply of the combined cooling and heating system is too large, so that even without an additional cold source ECS to provide additional cooling capacity, the temperature of the first chilled water T1 is still too low. In order to prevent the first chilled water T1 from freezing due to a sudden drop in temperature to 0 degrees Celsius or below in the next moment, causing the entire combined cooling and heating system to shut down, the control method of this embodiment intervenes through the overcooling protection unit, that is, directly uses the high-temperature hot water (T4>T4´´) to raise the temperature of the first chilled water T1, which also further ensures the safe operation of the entire combined cooling and heating system.

[0110] Optionally, to ensure the safe operation of the third compressor COMP3, the third compressor COMP3 will be shut down when the outlet temperature exceeds a set threshold.

[0111] In this implementation, the set threshold for the outlet temperature of the third compressor COMP3 is 132 degrees Celsius.

[0112] The total time consumed for starting up the compressor and adjusting the load to the required value is much longer than that for directly adjusting the load of the started compressor to the required value. The control method based on the heat load of the present embodiment ensures that each compressor is in an open state during operation, so that each compressor can quickly respond to the change in load demand, thereby improving the response rate and flexibility of the entire combined cooling and heating system.

[0113] The control method of the present embodiment ensures that the load of each compressor is in a healthy state, thereby improving the service life of the compressor and the entire combined cooling and heating system, and reducing the operation and maintenance cost of the combined cooling and heating system.

[0114] The control method of the present embodiment is based on heat, and the heat required by the NMP waste liquid purification device changes in real time. This change causes the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 to change with a lag. If the heat that cannot be consumed by the NMP waste liquid purification device in time exists in the combined cooling and heating system, the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 will be too high, thereby causing the combined cooling and heating system to malfunction and shut down. Therefore, the control method of the present embodiment needs to ensure that the heat that cannot be consumed by the NMP waste liquid purification device in time cannot make the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 too high while providing sufficient heat for the NMP waste liquid purification device. Furthermore, because the heat required by the NMP waste liquid purification device changes in real time, it is not feasible to know the heat demand in advance and then accurately adjust the heat supply of the combined cooling and heating system. In the control method of the present embodiment, the most creative aspect is that the change in the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 is used to measure the real-time change in the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, and the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 is directly controlled to be within the second ideal temperature range, so as to ensure that the heat supplied to the NMP waste liquid purification device is sufficient and the combined cooling and heating system will not malfunction and shut down. Avoiding malfunction and shutdown also further prolongs the service life of the combined cooling and heating system.

[0115] Under the guidance of the control method described above, the control method of the present embodiment also satisfies the condition that the load of each compressor is in a healthy state, and preferentially reduces the load of each compressor to reduce the power consumption of the entire combined cooling and heating system. Under these conditions, the excess heat is supplied to the end heat utilization equipment.

[0116] That is, the control method of the present embodiment not only meets the real-time change in the heat demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device in time, improves the NMP waste liquid purification efficiency, and reduces the power consumption during system operation as much as possible, but also utilizes the unused heat of the NMP waste liquid purification device (supplies the end heat utilization equipment), thereby greatly improving the service life of the entire combined cooling and heating system.

[0117] The control method of the embodiment covers all situations that may occur in the whole combined cooling and heating system, and also performs preventive dynamic adjustment on the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 fluctuating in the second ideal temperature range, further reduces the adverse effects of the lagging change of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 on the "high-temperature hot water temperature stably in the second ideal temperature range", and maximizes the control of the high-temperature hot water temperature in the second ideal temperature range. The preventive dynamic adjustment is also performed on the high-temperature hot water temperature already in the second ideal temperature range, and further improves the response speed of the whole combined cooling and heating system to the heat supply change at the next moment.

[0118] The control method of the embodiment can calculate the heat Q1 supplied to the current NMP waste liquid purification device (i.e., supplied to all evaporation tanks ET) and the required additional cold quantity Q4 in the combined cooling and heating system in time while ensuring that the heat demand of the current NMP waste liquid purification device is met, ensures that the supply amount of the additional cold quantity Q4 can meet the demand of the NMP waste liquid purification device, and further reduces the adverse effects of the lagging change of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 on the "dynamic stabilization of the high-temperature hot water temperature T4 in the second ideal temperature range" and the "dynamic stabilization of the first chilled water temperature T1 in the first ideal temperature range".

[0119] According to the verification of the skilled person, the control method of the embodiment reduces the power consumption of the whole combined cooling and heating system by 50% and reduces the operation and maintenance cost by 40% compared with the prior art.

It should be pointed out that the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and the components or steps in the embodiment of the present application can be decomposed and / or recombined, which should be regarded as the equivalent solutions of the present application, and should fall within the protection scope of the present application.
