Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of heat pump heating, in particular to an air-water cascade heat pump heating device used for heating oil field wellheads. Background Art

[0002] The crude oil extracted from the oil field wells is a mixture of oil and water. In order to prevent it from waxing, it needs to be heated. At present, the use of coal-fired boilers, gas boilers, electric boilers or electric heating devices for heating has problems such as low efficiency, high energy consumption, unsafe and environmentally unfriendly. In order to save energy, reduce carbon emissions, improve safety and protect the environment, various oil production units are exploring the use of new energy technologies such as heat pumps to replace the original heating devices.

[0003] However, the energy efficiency of the heat pump decreases as the outlet water temperature increases. Simply using heat pump equipment to replace the original heating device is not energy efficient, the operating cost is not low, and the stability is insufficient under low ambient temperature conditions. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to address the shortcomings of simple heat pump heating technology and propose an air-water cascade heat pump heating device for oil field wellhead heating. By cascading coupling of an air source heat pump, a water source heat pump, an energy storage tank and a process heat exchange device, the energy efficiency and stability of the heating device are improved and the heating cost is reduced.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model discloses an air-water cascade heat pump heating device for oilfield wellhead heating, which is characterized by comprising an air source heat pump, an inlet of the air source heat pump being connected to a buffer water tank and an energy storage water tank via a primary heat circulation water pump, a water source heat pump connected to the buffer water tank via a valve, an energy storage water tank connected to the inlet of the water source heat pump condenser via an energy storage circulation water pump, a process heat exchange device connected to the energy storage water tank via a process heating circulation water pump, and an outlet of the process heat exchange device being connected to the energy storage water tank.

[0007] The outlet of the air source heat pump is connected to the inlet of the water source heat pump evaporator through a valve, the air source heat pump is connected to the energy storage water tank through a primary heat circulation water pump, and the outlet of the water source heat pump condenser is connected to the energy storage water tank through a valve.

[0008] The outlet of the water source heat pump condenser is connected to the startup emergency heating device.

[0009] The emergency heating device has an outlet connected to the energy storage water tank and an inlet connected to the outlet of the energy storage circulating water pump.

[0010] The energy storage water tank is connected to the process heat exchange device through a pipeline.

[0011] Advantages of the utility model:

[0012] The utility model discloses an air-water cascade heat pump heating device for oil field wellhead heating. The heat produced by the air source heat pump provides a low-temperature heat source for the water source heat pump through a buffer water tank. The high-temperature thermal energy generated by the water source heat pump heats the water in the energy storage tank. The hot water in the energy storage tank is then used to heat the produced fluid of the oil well through a process heat exchange device. When the ambient temperature is high, the air source heat pump can also directly heat the water in the energy storage tank without starting the water source heat pump. When the heating capacity of the heat pump is insufficient, the emergency heating device can be started to supplement heat for the system. The cascade heating of the air source heat pump and the water source heat pump solves the problem of the stability of heating under low ambient temperature and high output temperature conditions. The energy storage tank uses cheap off-peak electricity to provide thermal energy as much as possible. The process heat exchange device reduces the heating temperature and improves the energy efficiency of the system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
