Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial VOCs treatment technology, and in particular to a multi-stage heat pump coupled microwave desorption system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, traditional thermal desorption technologies (such as RTO and CO) are widely used in the field of industrial VOCs (volatile organic compounds) treatment, but they have significant drawbacks: 1. High energy consumption: Traditional thermal desorption requires heating the adsorbent, with a unit energy consumption of 0.8-1.2 kWh / kg VOCs, and the flue gas temperature of RTO system is as high as 300-400℃, with a waste heat utilization rate of only 35%-45%; 2. Slow heating: Relying on external heat conduction, the heating rate is usually less than 3℃ / min, resulting in a long desorption cycle; 3. Low desorption efficiency: Under normal pressure, the desorption air volume needs to reach 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the adsorption air volume, and the fan energy consumption accounts for 20% to 30% of the total system energy consumption.
[0003] While microwave desorption technology can achieve selective heating, its application as a standalone method suffers from uneven energy distribution and large fluctuations in desorption temperature. Although heat pump technology can achieve heat recovery, a single heat pump system is insufficient to meet the requirements for gradient heating over a wide temperature range.
[0004] To address the above problems, this invention proposes a multi-stage heat pump coupled microwave desorption system. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a multi-stage heat pump coupled microwave desorption system, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A multi-stage heat pump coupled microwave desorption system includes a microwave targeted preheating module, a heat pump gradient heating module, a low-pressure desorption environment construction module, and a waste heat recovery network. Microwave-targeted preheating module: Equipped with a 2.45GHz microwave generator and an infrared thermal imaging scanner, it is used to selectively heat the VOCs-enriched area, raising the adsorbent temperature to 70°C. Heat pump gradient heating module: A multi-stage heat pump system is used to gradually heat the adsorbent from 70℃ to 130-160℃ at a heating rate of 8℃ / min. Low-pressure desorption environment construction module: Based on the Venturi effect, a negative pressure pipeline is designed to form a desorption environment of -1.5 kPa, with a desorption wind speed of 0.8-1.2 m / s; Waste heat recovery network: including plate heat exchangers and heat pump evaporators, it realizes efficient recovery of waste heat from desorbed exhaust gas, with a waste heat utilization rate of ≥72%.
[0007] Preferably, the microwave targeted preheating module includes a magnetron assembly with a power density of 0.8-1.2 W / cm³, and can be controlled in zones.
[0008] Preferably, the infrared thermal imaging scanner has a temperature recognition accuracy of ±5℃ and a spatial resolution of ±5mm, and is used to identify VOCs enrichment areas on the adsorbent.
[0009] Preferably, the temperature control accuracy of the heat pump gradient heating module is ±2℃, and the heat pump energy efficiency ratio (COP) is ≥3.5.
[0010] Preferably, the desorption air volume of the low-pressure desorption environment construction module is reduced by 30% compared with the traditional process, and the desorption energy consumption is reduced by 45%.
[0011] Preferably, in the waste heat recovery network, 50% of the waste heat is used for system self-heating, and 22% of the waste heat is used for workshop heating.
[0012] Preferably, it further includes a pretreatment unit, which includes a condensation dehumidification module and an electrostatic dust removal module; the dew point of the condensation dehumidification module is ≤5℃, and the humidity of the treated exhaust gas is <30% RH; the electrostatic dust removal module has a filtration efficiency of >95% for particles with a diameter >1μm.
[0013] Preferably, a gradient-activated composite zeolite rotor is used in conjunction with the rotor. The desorption zone of the rotor adopts a titanium-silicon molecular sieve TS-1 layer with a pore size of 5-8 nm, and its surface is pressed with sinusoidal ripples, which increases the specific surface area by 22%.
[0014] Preferably, the desorbed waste gas is treated by a gas-liquid separator with a separation efficiency of >99%, and the condensate is collected and then enters the wastewater treatment system.
[0015] Preferably, an integrated AI dynamic control platform is used, which is based on a VOCs concentration prediction model and adjusts microwave power, heat pump output and negative pressure parameters 15 minutes in advance to achieve real-time optimization of operating parameters.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the multi-stage heat pump coupled microwave desorption system of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Significantly improved energy efficiency: Microwave targeted heating rapidly raises the temperature of the VOCs-rich area to 70°C, and combined with heat pump gradient heating to 160°C, desorption energy consumption is reduced by 45%, saving 0.36-0.54 kWh / kg VOCs compared to traditional processes; The five-stage waste heat utilization network (300℃→200℃→150℃→80℃→50℃) increases the waste heat utilization rate from 35% to 72%, with 50% of the waste heat used for the system's self-heating.
[0017] 2. Desorption efficiency optimization: The Venturi effect creates a low-pressure desorption environment of -1.5 kPa, reducing the desorption air volume by 30% and controlling the desorption air velocity at 0.8-1.2 m / s to avoid excessive disturbance of the adsorbent. The heating time is reduced by 67%, from 45-60 minutes in the traditional process to within 15 minutes.
[0018] 3. Intelligence and stability: The AI dynamic control platform optimizes parameters 15 minutes in advance based on a VOCs concentration prediction model, improving system stability by 20% and extending equipment life by 15%. Attached Figure Description
