[0048] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, in the transcritical CO2 heat pump cycle system, the refrigerant is compressed from the inlet to the outlet of the compressor 1, flows through the first-stage gas cooler 2 and the second-stage gas cooler 3, becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid through the throttling device (i.e. the throttling valve 4), and finally returns to the inlet of the compressor 1 after flowing through the evaporator 5, forming a closed cycle; in the drying air system, the air supply entering the multi-layer sludge drying chamber 7 is divided into upper-layer air supply and lower-layer air supply, and the air return output from the multi-layer sludge drying chamber 7 is divided into two paths, one path is heated through the first-stage gas cooler 2 and then returns to the multi-layer sludge drying chamber 7 through the upper-layer air supply inlet, becoming the upper-layer air supply; the other path is cooled and water is separated through the heat-releasing heat exchanger 8 and the evaporator 5, and then is heated through the second-stage gas cooler 3 and returns to the multi-layer sludge drying chamber 7 through the lower-layer air supply inlet, becoming the lower-layer air supply.

[0051] In a specific example of the technical solution, for certain sludge inlet and outlet temperature and humidity boundary conditions, under the condition that the total air supply volume is determined, i.e. the fan power consumption is determined, there is an optimal air volume ratio for the two-layer air supply mode for different drying chamber structures and air outlet modes. The currently commonly used drying chamber structures and air outlet modes mainly include three-layer upper air, three-layer middle air, four-layer upper air, and four-layer middle air. Different structures and air outlet modes mainly affect the final air outlet temperature and humidity of the upper and lower air supply, so the air volume ratio is a function of the upper air outlet temperature and humidity and the lower air outlet temperature and humidity.
[0052] For the optimal air volume ratio ω of the upper and lower paths, there is the following relationship:
[0053] Total air volume V0: V0=V1+V2;
[0054] Air volume ratio ω: ω=V1 / V2;
[0055] Optimal air volume ratio relationship: ω best =f(T 1,in ,d 1,in ,T 2,in ,d 2,in ,T 1,out ,d 1,out ,T 2,out ,d 2,out )
[0056] Wherein, V1 is the upper air supply air volume / (m 3 / h); V2 is the lower air supply air volume / (m 3 / h); T 1,in is the upper air supply inlet temperature / ℃; T 2,in is the lower air supply inlet temperature / ℃; T 1,out is the upper air supply outlet temperature / ℃; T 2,out is the lower air supply outlet temperature / ℃; d 1,in is the upper air supply inlet relative humidity / %; d 2,in is the lower air supply inlet relative humidity / %; d 1,out is the upper air supply outlet relative humidity / %; d 2,outRelative humidity of the outlet of the down air supply.
[0057] In the case of given sludge import and export boundary conditions, the air volume ratio is adjusted by the import and export state of the air supply, the import and export enthalpy difference of the upper and lower routes is increased as much as possible, the outlet temperature is reduced, the outlet relative humidity is increased, and thus the drying effect is improved. In the specific exemplary technical solution, the optimal value of the equation ω best =f(T 1,in ,d 1,in ,T 2,in ,d 2,in ,T 1,out ,d 1,out ,T 2,out ,d 2,out ) in the feasible region is obtained, and the optimal air volume ratio is obtained.
[0058] In the embodiment of the application, the size of the system heat-releasing heat exchanger and the flow of the water cooling tower of the heat-releasing heat exchanger are optimized and designed, and the use of the equipment size and the water flow is reduced as much as possible, so that the production and use costs are reduced, and the return air temperature after heat release is effectively improved. The structural parameter κ of the heat-releasing heat exchanger and the water flow V3 of the cooling water tower jointly affect the heat-releasing amount of the system, different systems have different heat-releasing demands, the required heat-releasing amount Q can be obtained through simulation calculation, and based on this, the corresponding water flow and heat exchanger structure can be designed.
[0059] In the specific exemplary technical solution of the application, the required heat-releasing amount Q has the following relationship:
[0060] Q=f1(m,t,V1,V2);
[0061] Q=f2(κ,V3,T3,d3);
[0062] Wherein, m is the mass of the sludge to be dried, t is the time for completing the drying of the sludge, V1 is the air volume of the upper air supply / (m 3 / h), V2 is the air volume of the lower air supply / (m 3 / h), V3 is the water flow of the cooling tower / (m 3 / h), T3 is the return air temperature after the air of the upper and lower routes is converged, and d3 is the return air humidity after the air of the upper and lower routes is converged.
[0063] In the specific exemplary technical solution, the structural parameter of the heat-releasing heat exchanger and the size of the water flow of the cooling tower can be calculated for a specific drying system through the two relationship formulas, and the heat-releasing heat exchanger and the cooling water flow can be reduced as much as possible under the working condition of meeting the maximum heat-releasing amount. Wherein, the optimal value of the equation Q=f1(m,t,V1,V2) in the defined region is obtained, and the optimal heat-releasing amount is obtained.
[0064] There is an optimal evaporation temperature when the heat pump system is running, and the evaporation temperature is directly affected by the heat dissipation, which can be directly regulated by the size of the heat dissipation. The system uses a set of PI controllers to control the outlet sludge moisture content to remain unchanged by adjusting the compressor speed, and embeds an extremum search control logic, which can automatically optimize the evaporation temperature by adjusting the heat dissipation, so that the heat pump system works at the optimal evaporation temperature and the cycle COP is maximum.
[0065] In the technical scheme of the embodiment of the application, the implementation steps of the extremum search control logic are as follows:
[0066] Firstly, a high-frequency sinusoidal disturbance signal is applied to the evaporation temperature of the heat pump system Wherein a i and ω i are the amplitude and frequency of the signal, respectively;
[0067] Secondly, the heat pump COP signal following the high-frequency disturbance signal is filtered through a high-pass filter to filter out the direct current component, and the remaining signal is demodulated with a signal having the same frequency as the disturbance signal After demodulation, the continuously changing sinusoidal signal is converted into a signal with a direct current gradient signal component, and then the high-order term in the signal is filtered through a low-pass filter to retain the gradient term, wherein α i is a set phase deviation angle used to compensate for the phase difference after filtering;
[0068] Thirdly, an integrator is used to form a proportional-integral control loop with the low-pass filtered direct current gradient signal component as the input, and after multiple calculations, the optimal evaporation temperature point is found when the input is 0, and the heat pump system is maintained at the optimal evaporation temperature condition to achieve optimal control of the entire drying system.
[0069] The extremum search control is an advanced adaptive control method, which does not require an accurate system model, and finds the optimal control parameters by introducing a disturbance signal into the system and according to the response of the system. In the technical scheme of the application, it is applied to the control of the evaporation temperature of the heat pump system, which can effectively overcome the shortcomings of the traditional control method depending on the system model, and improve the accuracy and robustness of the control. The application adjusts the evaporation temperature of the heat pump system by applying a high-frequency sinusoidal disturbance signal. Gradient information related to system performance is extracted using high-pass filter, demodulation processing and low-pass filter signal processing technology. The integrator forms a proportional-integral control loop according to the gradient information, and continuously adjusts the evaporation temperature until the optimal evaporation temperature point is found. This real-time optimization control process can ensure that the system can quickly and accurately achieve the best performance under different working conditions, and improve the stability and energy efficiency of the system.
[0070] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment of the invention, given the boundary conditions of the sludge inlet and outlet, the air volume ratio is adjusted by changing the inlet and outlet states of the air supply to maximize the enthalpy difference between the upper and lower paths, reduce the outlet temperature, and increase the outlet relative humidity, thereby improving the drying effect. Specifically, through... Figure 2 The specific process for optimizing the method shown is as follows:
[0071] The first step is to input the system structure parameters and initial state parameters, and set the air volume ratio to the lower limit value, i.e., ω(0) = ω min The system is calculated, and the output is saved as follows: COP, SMER, energy consumption per ton of sludge, and enthalpy difference Δh between the inlet and outlet of the upper and lower air passages. up (0) and Δh down (0);

[0074] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment of the invention, the specific process of optimizing the heat dissipation and heat exchange method is as follows:
