Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air compressors, in particular to an air compressor waste heat recovery connection device which can prevent wrong connection. Background Art

[0002] The existing air compressor waste heat recovery connection device generally includes an air compressor body, an oil-gas separator, a water-cooled heat exchanger and an air-cooled heat exchanger. The air compressor body has a cold oil inlet and an oil-gas outlet. The oil-gas separator has an oil-gas inlet and a hot oil outlet. The oil-gas inlet is connected to the oil-gas outlet. The hot oil outlet is connected to the inlet of the water-cooled heat exchanger through a water-cooled hot oil inlet pipe. The outlet of the water-cooled heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger through a water-cooled hot oil outlet pipe. The outlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger is connected to the cold oil inlet through a cold oil return pipe. A transition pipe is also provided between the water-cooled hot oil inlet pipe and the water-cooled hot oil outlet pipe. Valves are provided on the ends of the water-cooled hot oil inlet pipe and the water-cooled hot oil outlet pipe close to the water-cooled heat exchanger and on the transition pipe. When waste heat recovery is required, the valve on the transition pipe needs to be closed, and the valves on the water-cooled hot oil inlet pipe and the water-cooled hot oil outlet pipe need to be opened at the same time. The hot oil coming out of the hot oil outlet of the oil-gas separator passes through the water-cooled hot oil inlet pipe to enter the water-cooled heat exchanger for heat exchange, realizing waste heat recovery. The oil after heat exchange passes through the water-cooled hot oil outlet pipe, the air-cooled heat exchanger and the cold oil return pipe and enters the air compressor body from the cold oil inlet again. At this time, the air-cooled heat exchanger does not work. When waste heat recovery is not required, the valve on the transition pipe needs to be opened, and the valves on the water-cooled hot oil inlet pipe and the water-cooled hot oil outlet pipe need to be opened at the same time. The hot oil coming out of the hot oil outlet of the oil-gas separator passes through the water-cooled hot oil inlet pipe, the transition pipe, and the water-cooled hot oil outlet pipe and enters the air-cooled heat exchanger. The air-cooled heat exchanger works to cool the hot oil. The cooled oil passes through the cold oil return pipe and enters the air compressor body from the cold oil inlet again. The disadvantages of this type of air compressor waste heat recovery connection device are that it has many pipes and valves, occupies a lot of space, and requires shutdown for operation, which is complicated to operate and prone to misconnection.
