The heating plate heat exchanger 6 and the safeguard plate heat exchanger 7 are one in use and one in reserve.
[0016] A variable frequency constant pressure water pump 9 is provided on the cold water pipeline 2. A temperature sensor TB1 and a pressure sensor PB1 are provided on the cold water pipeline in front of the variable frequency constant pressure water pump 9. The outlet of the cold water pipeline 2 is divided into a primary cold water branch pipe and a secondary cold water branch pipe. A temperature sensor TW11 and a pressure sensor PW11 are provided on the primary cold water branch pipe, and a temperature sensor TW13 and a pressure sensor PW13 are provided on the secondary cold water branch pipe.

[0017] When the centrifugal compressor 8 operates, air is inhaled. The air passes through a self-cleaning air filter during the process of entering the centrifugal compressor. The variable frequency constant pressure water pump 9 pumps the 36°C cooling water in the cooling water tank 5 into the centrifugal compressor heat exchanger through the cold water pipeline 2. In the heat exchanger, the 36°C cooling water exchanges heat with the high-temperature compressed gas. The low-temperature compressed gas after heat exchange is discharged from the centrifugal compressor to the gas-using end, and the cooling water is heated to a certain temperature.
[0018] The cooling water enters the heating plate heat exchanger 6 through the hot water pipeline 1. When hot water is used, the low-temperature water to be heated enters the heating plate heat exchanger 6. In the heating plate heat exchanger 6, the low-temperature water exchanges heat with the high-temperature water. The cold water is heated to a certain temperature before use, and the temperature of the cooling water is reduced to 36°C. The 36°C cooling water flows back to the cooling water tank 5 through the front section 3, the safeguard plate heat exchanger 7, and the rear section 4.

The cooling medium is heated to 40°C for return use, and the cooling water is cooled to 36°C. The cooling water flows back to the cooling water tank 5 through the rear section 4.
[0019] Through the waste heat recovery device, the heat in the cooling water after heat exchange can be recovered. The water to be heated is heated through the heating plate heat exchanger to meet the temperature requirements. When the heat is not used, it can also exchange heat with the cooling medium through the safeguard plate heat exchanger to ensure that the return water temperature does not exceed 36°C and ensure the heat exchange efficiency in the centrifugal compressor. The waste heat is recovered through the waste heat recovery device, avoiding a large amount of heat waste, saving energy, and reducing production costs.
