[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.
[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a thermal storage lithium bromide heat pump unit includes a solution heat exchanger 1, a solution storage tank 2, a valve 3, a first solution pump 4, a second solution pump 5, a refrigerant pump 6, a generator G, an absorber A, a condenser C, and an evaporator E. The solution heat exchanger 1 includes a concentrated solution inlet 103, a concentrated solution outlet 104, a dilute solution inlet 102, and a dilute solution outlet 101. The solution heat storage tank 2 includes a concentrated solution inlet 201, a dilute solution outlet 202, a dilute solution inlet 203, and a concentrated solution outlet 204. The generator G includes a generator heat source inlet G01, a generator heat source outlet G02, a generator solution inlet G03, and a generator solution outlet G04. The condenser C includes a condenser heat source inlet CO1, a condenser heat source outlet CO2, and a condenser refrigerant outlet CO3; The absorber A includes an absorber heat source inlet A01, an absorber heat source outlet A02, an absorber solution inlet A03, and an absorber solution outlet A04. The evaporator E includes an evaporator heat source inlet E01, an evaporator heat source outlet E02, an evaporator refrigerant first inlet E03, an evaporator refrigerant outlet E04, and an evaporator refrigerant second inlet E05. The high-temperature heat source inlet is connected to the heat source inlet G01 of the generator, and the high-temperature heat source outlet is connected to the heat source outlet G02 of the generator; The medium-temperature heat source inlet is connected to the heat source inlet A01 of the absorber, the heat source outlet A02 of the absorber is connected to the heat source inlet C01 of the condenser, and the heat source outlet C02 of the condenser is connected to the medium-temperature heat source outlet. The low-temperature heat source inlet is connected to the evaporator heat source inlet E01, and the evaporator heat source outlet E02 is connected to the low-temperature heat source outlet. The generator solution outlet G04 is connected to the concentrated solution inlet 201 of the solution heat storage tank, the concentrated solution outlet 204 of the solution heat storage tank is connected to the concentrated solution inlet 103 of the solution heat exchanger, the concentrated solution outlet 104 of the solution heat exchanger is connected to the absorber solution inlet A03, the absorber solution outlet A04 is connected to the dilute solution inlet 102 of the solution heat exchanger through the second solution pump 5, and the dilute solution outlet 101 of the solution heat exchanger is connected to the generator solution inlet G03; The dilute solution outlet 202 of the solution heat storage tank is connected to the dilute solution inlet 102 of the solution heat exchanger through the first solution pump 4, and the dilute solution inlet 203 of the solution heat storage tank is connected to the dilute solution inlet 102 of the solution heat exchanger through the valve 3; The condenser refrigerant outlet CO3 is connected to the evaporator refrigerant first inlet E03; The evaporator refrigerant outlet E04 is connected to the evaporator refrigerant second inlet E05 via the refrigerant pump 6. In the above embodiment, when the high-temperature heat source is in excess relative to the low-temperature heat source, the high-temperature heat source heats the solution in the generator G. The heated solution flows into the solution storage tank 2. A portion of the high-temperature concentrated solution in the solution storage tank 2 flows out, is cooled by heat exchange in the solution heat exchanger 1, and then enters the absorber A. After absorbing water vapor in the absorber A, it flows out. Simultaneously, a portion of the low-temperature dilute solution in the solution storage tank 2 flows out, passes through the first solution pump 4, and merges with the dilute solution from the absorber A. After being heated by heat exchange in the solution heat exchanger 1, it enters the generator G again. Since the flow rate of the high-temperature concentrated solution flowing out of the concentrated solution outlet 204 of the solution storage tank is lower than the flow rate of the high-temperature concentrated solution flowing in from the concentrated solution inlet 201 of the solution storage tank, a portion of the high-temperature heat is stored in the solution storage tank 2 in the form of a high-temperature concentrated solution.
[0021] When the high-temperature heat source is insufficient compared to the low-temperature heat source, valve 3 opens. A portion of the dilute solution flowing from absorber A passes through valve 3 and flows into solution storage tank 2, while the other portion passes through solution heat exchanger 1 for heat exchange and is then heated before entering generator G. In generator G, the solution is concentrated and heated before flowing back into solution storage tank 2. The high-temperature concentrated solution in solution storage tank 2 is cooled by solution heat exchanger 1 and then enters absorber A. At this time, the flow rate of the concentrated solution flowing out of the concentrated solution outlet 204 of the solution storage tank is higher than the flow rate of the high-temperature concentrated solution flowing in from the concentrated solution inlet 201 of the solution storage tank. Therefore, the heat stored in storage tank 2 is released in the form of concentrated solution. This concentrated solution, after entering absorber A, improves the recovery capacity of the low-temperature heat source, thereby avoiding waste of the low-temperature heat source. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
[0022] The difference from Example 1 is that in Example 2, as... Figure 2 As shown, the solution flowing out of the generator solution outlet G04 first enters the solution heat exchanger 1 through the concentrated solution inlet 103 of the solution heat exchanger for cooling, and then flows out of the concentrated solution outlet 104 of the solution heat exchanger before entering the solution storage tank 2. Compared to Example 1, the solution stored in the solution storage tank 2 in Example 2 has a lower temperature, less heat dissipation, and higher overall efficiency.
