Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cascade heat pump technology, and more specifically, to an endogenous coupled cycle all-electric process system with a preheater. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, heat pump systems are widely used to provide thermal support for various process cycles. However, in existing technologies, heat pump systems often operate independently from process cycles and their terminal cooling water cycles. This results in the ineffective recovery and utilization of waste heat in the terminal cooling water, leading to energy waste and reduced system efficiency. Particularly in the heat exchange stages of condensers and evaporators, the lack of proper heat pretreatment results in insufficient cooling water temperature rise, limiting refrigerant heating efficiency and affecting overall system performance and heating stability. Furthermore, the significant temperature drop of the terminal cooling water often necessitates the use of large external heat sources, increasing operating costs and energy consumption. The lack of preheaters and other auxiliary equipment on the condenser and evaporator sides prevents the implementation of stepped temperature increases in the cooling water and multi-stage waste heat recovery, making it difficult to meet the precise heating needs of multi-temperature-zone processes.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can achieve deep coupling of refrigerant circulation, process heating circulation and cooling water circulation. By setting up a preheater, the cooling water circulation system can recover the waste heat at the end of the process, and the heated cooling water can be introduced into the evaporator to heat the refrigerant, so as to realize the cascade utilization and circulation of energy, improve the energy utilization rate and operational stability of the system, and thus meet the heating needs of multiple processes and multiple temperature zones.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0034] (1) In view of the energy waste caused by the direct discharge or single recovery of the waste heat of the end cooling of traditional processes, the present invention combines the cooling water circulation system, the process heating circulation and the refrigerant circulation system. The cooling water recovers the heat of the end of the process, enters the evaporator for heat exchange after preheating, and is heated by the heat pump to supply heat to the process end, thus completing the energy recycling and realizing the deep coupling and utilization of the three circulation forms, which significantly improves the energy utilization rate and overall thermal efficiency of the system.
[0035] (2) The present invention adopts a dual-stage compression and dual-cycle cascade heat pump structure. The low-temperature cycle and the high-temperature cycle transfer energy through the condenser-evaporator to achieve a greater temperature difference increase and high-temperature heating. At the same time, in response to the process requirements of three different temperature zones, namely distillation, concentration and extraction, the present invention adopts a multi-channel hot water supply design and sets corresponding return water temperatures (85℃, 80℃, 60℃) to accurately match the heat requirements of various processes, reduce ineffective overheating, and improve the matching degree and stability of heating.
[0036] (3) The process cooling water in the prior art has a large temperature drop and requires a large amount of external heat source for heat replenishment. In order to improve the problems of poor heat exchange effect and unstable operation caused by the large temperature difference of the cooling water, the present invention divides the three types of process terminal cooling water into two paths after the temperature is stepped up: one path is stably discharged through the radiator, and the other path flows further through the preheater set at the outlet of the condenser and the condenser-evaporator. While preheating the cooling water, the refrigerant is circulated and subcooled, realizing multi-stage recovery of waste heat and effectively balancing the system energy flow, ensuring that the system can operate stably under different load conditions.
[0037] (4) The present invention adds a steam-water heat exchanger on the condenser side, and uses high-temperature steam to directly heat the process hot water to the required temperature, and directly provides high-temperature hot water to the process side, which can directly meet the temperature range requirements of different processes, avoid the cumbersome process of setting up temperature reduction and pressure reduction adjustment devices separately for steam heating, and improve the versatility and adaptability of the system.
[0038] (5) The present invention further replaces the low-position air-cooled radiator with a water-cooled radiator. Water-cooled radiator has higher heat exchange efficiency and stable heat exchange performance. It can achieve the same heat dissipation with lower cooling medium flow rate and smaller temperature difference. It can be directly connected to the existing cooling water network, reducing the energy consumption of water pumps and auxiliary equipment, and reducing independent construction and operation costs.

[0055] The operating principle of the implementation plan:
[0056] The gaseous refrigerant exiting evaporator 3 enters the first compressor 6, where it is compressed and its temperature and pressure increase. It then enters the condenser-evaporator 2 to release its latent heat, heating the low-temperature refrigerant pipeline. The liquid refrigerant exiting the condenser-evaporator 2 enters the second expansion valve 9 for throttling and pressure reduction before entering the evaporator 3 to continue absorbing heat and vaporizing, completing the cycle. The gaseous refrigerant, after absorbing heat in the condenser-evaporator 2, enters the second compressor 7, where it is compressed and its temperature and pressure increase. It then enters the condenser 1 to release its latent heat, and subsequently enters the first preheater 4 to continue releasing heat. Becoming subcooled, it enters the first expansion valve 8 for throttling and pressure reduction before returning to the condenser-evaporator 2 to continue absorbing heat and vaporizing, completing the cycle.
[0057] The hot water supplied after being heated by condenser 1 is divided into three streams, which flow through the distillation process heat exchanger 13, the concentration process heat exchanger 14, and the extraction process heat exchanger 15 respectively, with the same inlet temperature of 90℃, to meet the heat demand of the three processes. Since the three processes require different temperature ranges, the return water temperatures are set to 85℃, 80℃, and 60℃ respectively, so that the supply and return water temperatures of the distillation process are 80℃ / 85℃, the concentration process is 75℃ / 80℃, and the extraction process is 55℃ / 60℃. After the return water is mixed, it flows back to condenser 1 to continue absorbing heat, thus realizing the heat supply cycle.
[0058] The three types of process end-connected cooling water circulation pipelines are used to couple the process cycle with the refrigerant cycle. The cooling water pipelines flow sequentially through the distillation process heat exchanger 13, the concentration process heat exchanger 14, and the extraction process heat exchanger 15 to achieve a step-by-step temperature increase. Excess waste heat is dissipated by entering the air-cooled radiator 10 through one stream of cooling water, while the other stream of cooling water flows through the first preheater 4 for preheating, and then enters the evaporator 3 to heat the refrigerant. The cooling water from the evaporator 3 and the air-cooled radiator 10 mix and continue to enter the end of the process equipment to absorb heat, completing the cooling cycle.
[0059] Overall, the system achieves two key benefits. First, it employs multi-channel heating to address the different heat demand ranges of the three processes, with regenerative temperatures set at 85℃, 80℃, and 60℃ respectively, improving the matching degree of the heating ranges. Second, the mixed heating and return water continues to enter the condenser side for heat exchange, enhancing heat exchange efficiency. Third, the innovative cooling water circulation system addresses the energy waste caused by direct discharge or single recovery of waste heat from traditional cooling water systems. The cooling water first undergoes a stepped temperature rise at the end of the three processes, exchanging heat with the preheater after the condenser, raising the low-temperature heat source temperature entering the evaporator, reducing the evaporator temperature difference, and ensuring the stability of the refrigerant state after subcooling, thus improving the system's control accuracy and operational stability. Finally, the entire system utilizes an electrically driven circulation system, exhibiting high energy efficiency and environmental friendliness.
[0060] This invention significantly improves the efficiency of waste heat recovery and utilization from cooling water at the end of the process by deeply coupling cooling water circulation, refrigerant circulation and process heating circulation, realizing the cascade recovery and recycling of energy, and greatly improving the energy utilization rate and overall thermal efficiency of the system.

[0067] The operating principle of this implementation plan is as follows:
[0068] The gaseous refrigerant exiting evaporator 3 enters the first compressor 6, where it is compressed and its temperature and pressure increase. It then enters the condenser-evaporator 2 to release latent heat, heating the low-temperature refrigerant pipeline. The liquid refrigerant exiting the condenser-evaporator 2 enters the second preheater 5 to continue releasing heat, becoming subcooled before entering the second expansion valve 9 for throttling and pressure reduction. It then enters the evaporator 3 to continue absorbing heat and vaporizing, completing the cycle. The gaseous refrigerant, after absorbing heat in the condenser-evaporator 2, enters the second compressor 7, where it is compressed and its temperature and pressure increase. It then enters the condenser 1 to release latent heat, subsequently entering the first expansion valve 8 for throttling and pressure reduction, returning to the condenser-evaporator 2 to continue absorbing heat and vaporizing, completing the cycle.
[0069] The hot water supplied after being heated by condenser 1 is divided into three streams, which flow through the distillation process heat exchanger 13, the concentration process heat exchanger 14, and the extraction process heat exchanger 15 respectively, with the same inlet temperature of 90℃, to meet the heat demand of the three processes. Since the three processes require different temperature ranges, the return water temperatures are set to 85℃, 80℃, and 60℃ respectively, so that the supply and return water temperatures of the distillation process are 80℃ / 85℃, the concentration process is 75℃ / 80℃, and the extraction process is 55℃ / 60℃. After the return water is mixed, it flows back to condenser 1 to continue absorbing heat, thus realizing the heat supply cycle.
[0070] The three types of process end-connected cooling water circulation pipelines are used to couple the process cycle with the refrigerant cycle. The cooling water pipelines flow sequentially through the distillation process heat exchanger 13, the concentration process heat exchanger 14, and the extraction process heat exchanger 15 to achieve a temperature gradient increase. Excess waste heat is dissipated by entering the air-cooled radiator 10 through one stream of cooling water, while the other stream of cooling water flows through the second preheater 5 for preheating, and then enters the evaporator 3 to heat the refrigerant. The cooling water from the evaporator 3 and the air-cooled radiator 10 mix and continue to enter the end of the process equipment to absorb heat, completing the cooling cycle.
[0071] Overall, this invention achieves two effects: by using a two-stage compression and dual-cycle cascade heat pump structure, the system heating temperature is increased to the range of 90℃~100℃, which can accurately meet the heat requirements of multi-temperature processes such as distillation, concentration and extraction; by placing the preheater after the condenser-evaporator, the latent heat of vaporization of the liquid refrigerant is utilized more fully after entering the expansion valve, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the low-temperature refrigerant cycle. At the same time, the temperature of the low-temperature heat source water entering the evaporator is increased, thereby improving the thermal cycle efficiency of the heat pump system.
[0072] This invention achieves multi-stage waste heat recovery and energy flow balance through the design of cooling water cascade temperature rise and preheater, reducing dependence on external heat sources, reducing operating costs, and improving the energy-saving and environmental protection performance of the system.

The outlet end of the fourth preheating hot water pipe 69 is connected to the hot water inlet end of the evaporator 3.
[0076] The other combinations and connections in this implementation scheme are the same as in Specific Implementation Scheme Two.
[0077] The difference in the operating principle of this implementation scheme lies in the fact that the three types of process terminals are connected to cooling water circulation pipelines to couple the process cycle with the refrigerant cycle. The cooling water pipelines flow sequentially through the distillation process heat exchanger 13, the concentration process heat exchanger 14, and the extraction process heat exchanger 15 to achieve a step-by-step temperature increase. Excess waste heat is dissipated by entering the air-cooled radiator 10 through one stream of cooling water. The other stream of cooling water flows sequentially through the first preheater 4 and the second preheater 5 for preheating. The liquid refrigerant from the condenser 1 and the condenser-evaporator 2 is subcooled to a certain extent and then enters the evaporator 3 to heat the refrigerant. The cooling water from the evaporator 3 and the air-cooled radiator 10 mix and continue to enter the end of the process equipment to absorb heat and complete the cooling cycle.
[0078] Overall, this solution combines the advantages of the two aforementioned solutions. It incorporates dual preheaters to enhance the preheating effect of the cooling water before it enters the evaporator, while simultaneously achieving subcooling for both low-temperature and high-temperature refrigerant cycles. This enables multi-stage waste heat recovery and effectively balances the system's energy flow, ensuring stable operation under varying load conditions. By rationally dividing the cooling water flow path at the process's end, a portion of the cooling water is used for heat dissipation, while the remaining portion is preheated by dual preheaters to enhance its preheating effect before entering the evaporator. This, combined with subcooling for both low-temperature and high-temperature refrigerant cycles, optimizes the system's energy flow balance, reduces dependence on external heat sources, and guarantees stable system operation under different load conditions.
[0079] This invention not only improves the energy-saving and environmental protection performance of heat pump systems, but also enhances the applicability and flexibility of process heating, and has important practical application value and good prospects for promotion.

[0087] The operating principle of this implementation plan is as follows:
[0088] The gaseous refrigerant exiting evaporator 3 enters the first compressor 6, where it is compressed and its temperature and pressure increase. It then enters the condenser-evaporator 2 to release latent heat, heating the low-temperature refrigerant pipeline. The liquid refrigerant exiting the condenser-evaporator 2 enters the second preheater 5 to continue releasing heat, becoming subcooled before entering the second expansion valve 9 for throttling and pressure reduction. It then enters the evaporator 3 to continue absorbing heat and vaporizing, completing the cycle. The gaseous refrigerant, after absorbing heat in the condenser-evaporator 2, enters the second compressor 7, where it is compressed and its temperature and pressure increase. It then enters the condenser 1 to release latent heat, subsequently entering the third preheater 16 to continue releasing heat. Becoming subcooled, it enters the first expansion valve 8 for throttling and pressure reduction, returning to the condenser-evaporator 2 to continue absorbing heat and vaporizing, completing the cycle.
[0089] The 90℃ high-temperature heat source water is vaporized by the condenser 1 to form 110℃ high-temperature steam, which then enters the steam-water heat exchanger 12 to exchange heat with the hot water supply pipeline. After absorbing heat and raising its temperature, the hot water is divided into three streams at 90℃ and enters the distillation process heat exchanger 13, the concentration process heat exchanger 14, and the extraction process heat exchanger 15 to meet the heat demand of the three processes. The supply and return water temperatures for the three processes are 80℃ / 85℃, 75℃ / 80℃, and 55℃ / 60℃, respectively. After the return water is mixed, it flows back to the steam-water heat exchanger 12 to continue absorbing heat, thus realizing the heat supply cycle.
[0090] The three types of process-end connection cooling water circulation pipelines are used to couple the process cycle with the refrigerant cycle. The cooling water pipelines flow sequentially through the distillation process heat exchanger 13, the concentration process heat exchanger 14, and the extraction process heat exchanger 15 to achieve a stepped temperature increase. Excess waste heat is dissipated by entering the air-cooled radiator 10 through one stream of cooling water. The other stream of cooling water flows sequentially through the third preheater 16 and the second preheater 5 for preheating. The liquid refrigerant from the condenser 1 and the condenser-evaporator 2 is subcooled to a certain extent and then enters the evaporator 3 to heat the refrigerant. The cooling water from the evaporator 3 and the air-cooled radiator 10 mix and continue to enter the end of the process equipment to absorb heat and complete the cooling cycle.
[0091] Overall, this invention achieves two effects: First, it directly provides high-temperature hot water to the process side. Second, by setting different return water temperatures, it can meet the temperature range requirements of different processes. Third, the cooling water flows through the three types of process terminals in sequence to achieve a gradual increase in temperature, which improves the problems of poor heat exchange effect and unstable operation caused by large temperature differences in cooling water. Fourth, the refrigerant side is combined with the cooling water circulation to realize the internal thermal energy circulation of the system, thereby improving the system's energy utilization rate and overall thermal efficiency.
[0092] In summary, this invention adds a steam-water heat exchanger to the condenser side, avoiding the cumbersome process of separately setting up de-cooling and de-pressure adjustment devices required for steam heating, thus improving the system's versatility and adaptability. This invention directly uses multi-stage recovery of process waste heat for refrigerant heating in both low-temperature and high-temperature zones, reducing cooling water temperature drop and heat loss, significantly lowering the need for external heat replenishment, and achieving dual optimization of energy saving, consumption reduction, and operating costs. It is suitable for multi-temperature zone process heating and energy-saving retrofitting scenarios.
[0093] Specific Implementation Plan Five: Combining Figure 5 As shown, unlike the fourth specific implementation scheme, the air-cooled radiator 10 is replaced with a water-cooled heat exchanger 11, and it also includes a first low-temperature water cooling pipe 81 and a second low-temperature water cooling pipe 82.

[0094] The difference between this implementation plan and specific implementation plan four is that by replacing the air-cooled cooling method with a water-cooled cooling method on the cooling side, it has both higher heat exchange efficiency and stable heat exchange performance. It can achieve the same heat dissipation with lower cooling medium flow rate and smaller temperature difference, and can be directly connected to the existing cooling water network, improving the system layout flexibility and operational adaptability.
