Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mine waste heat recovery, and particularly relates to an anti-freezing heat exchange system for producing bath hot water by using mine waste heat energy. Background Art
[0002] A variety of equipment is required in the mine production process, and a large amount of electric energy is consumed, such as equipment like air compressors, diesel engines, and reduction motors. Since mine equipment has strict requirements for the working temperature, these devices consume electrical energy during operation and generate heat during operation. For example, the temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure oil and gas of the air compressor is usually between 80°C and 100°C, and the lubricating oil temperature of the reduction motor is usually between 40°C and 80°C. Generally, mine equipment cools down through its own air convection heat dissipation system, and a large amount of heat energy is discharged into the atmosphere, resulting in waste.
[0003] In the prior art, by using the principle of heat energy exchange, the heat generated and wasted during the operation of mine equipment can be recovered and converted into water through an indirect heat exchange device. After the water absorbs the heat, the water temperature will rise, and the produced hot water can be used for bathing in the mine bath. However, the biggest hidden danger of the heat exchange system using water as the heat transfer medium during winter operation is that the circulating water cannot be interrupted. Once the flow is interrupted, the water in the heat exchanger will quickly freeze and expand. Generally, the heat exchanger is made of thin-walled metal materials, and the strength is not enough to overcome the expansion force after the water freezes into ice, which easily causes the heat exchanger to freeze and crack and become scrapped. Therefore, the anti-freezing reliability design during the winter operation of the heat exchange system is crucial.
[0004] Therefore, an anti-freezing heat exchange system for producing bath hot water by using mine waste heat energy is proposed. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model proposes an anti-freezing heat exchange system for producing bath hot water by using mine waste heat energy.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.
[0021] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an anti-freezing heat exchange system for using the waste heat of a mine to produce bath hot water, including: a heat exchanger 1, the heat exchanger 1 is a partition type, and there are two sets of circulation pipelines, namely a water circulation pipeline 2 and a medium circulation pipeline 11, inside for heat exchange with each other; the medium circulation pipeline 11 is connected to the mine equipment 10 for discharging waste heat, the water circulation pipeline 2 is provided with a water circulation pump 12, and one end of the water circulation pipeline 2 far from the heat exchanger 1 is connected to a hot water production tank 3; the hot water production tank 3 is connected to a hot water storage tank 5 through a gravity flow pipe 4, a gravity flow valve 13 is fixedly connected to the gravity flow pipe 4, and the hot water storage tank 5 is connected to a bathroom water tank 7 through a hot water delivery pipe 6; a make-up water pipe 14 is connected to the top of the hot water production tank 3.
[0022] The mine equipment 10 for discharging waste heat energy can drive the heat exchange medium to circulate in the medium circulation pipeline 11. The water circulation pump 12 can drive the water in the hot water production tank 3 to flow in the water circulation pipeline 2. The heat exchange medium in the medium circulation pipeline 11 and the water in the water circulation pipeline 2 conduct heat exchange in the heat exchanger 1, converting the heat generated and wasted during the operation of the mine equipment through heat exchange recovery into the water. After the water absorbs the heat, the water temperature will rise, the medium temperature will decrease, and then it will circulate back to the mine equipment, reducing the operating temperature of the mine equipment and ensuring that the mine equipment operates within the normal temperature range. When the water temperature rises to the set temperature, the self-flow valve opens, and the water enters the hot water storage tank 5 through the self-flow pipe 4 for storage. The hot water in the storage tank can be transported to the bathroom water tank 7 through the hot water delivery pipe 6 when needed to supply bath water for workers. After the water in the hot water production tank 3 is discharged into the hot water storage tank 5, the circulating water is replenished in a timely manner through the make-up water pipe 14. The utility model makes full use of the waste heat energy generated during the operation of the mine equipment to produce hot water for supplying bath water for workers. At the same time, it can also ensure the safe, automatic and trouble-free operation of the mine equipment and the hot water system, avoiding or reducing the use of coal or electricity to heat surface water to produce bath hot water, with significant safety, intelligence, energy-saving and environmental protection effects.
[0023] In a further optimized solution, a hot water delivery pump 15 is fixedly connected to the hot water delivery pipe 6.
[0024] The hot water in the hot water storage tank 5 can flow into the bathroom water tank 7 by gravity. When the terrain of the hot water storage tank 5 is lower than that of the bathroom water tank 7, it can also be pumped into the bathroom water tank 7 by the hot water delivery pump 15.
[0025] In a further optimized solution, an automatic monitoring network device 8 is further included. The automatic monitoring network device 8 is electrically connected to the heat exchanger 1, the mine equipment 10 for discharging waste heat energy, the water circulation pump 12, the hot water production tank 3, the hot water storage tank 5, the bathroom water tank 7 and the hot water delivery pump 15 respectively through the monitoring network line 9.
[0026] The automatic monitoring network device 8 realizes intelligent automatic control of the anti-freezing heat exchange system for producing bath hot water from mine waste heat energy through the monitoring network line 9, including but not limited to timely water replenishment, water drainage and water temperature monitoring in the water tank.
[0027] The monitoring network line 9 can be a wired cable or a wireless network connection device for signal transmission between the automatic monitoring network device 8 and each device.
[0028] In a further optimized solution, the hot water production tank 3 is arranged higher than the hot water storage tank 5.
[0029] The arrangement of the hot water production tank 3 higher than the hot water storage tank 5 enables the hot water to flow from the hot water production tank 3 into the hot water storage tank 5 through the potential energy self-flow pipe 4 and the valve without additional power, saving energy and being environmentally friendly.
[0030] For a further optimized solution, the interface position of the gravity flow pipe 4 on the hot water tank 3 is higher than the interface arrangement of the water circulation pipe when it flows back to the heat exchanger 1.
[0031] Preferably, the interface position of the gravity flow pipe 4 on the hot water tank 3 is arranged 0.5 meters higher than the interface of the water circulation pipe when it flows back to the heat exchanger 1. In this way, it can be ensured that there is always circulating water flowing in the heat exchanger 1 in winter, and the freezing damage phenomenon will not occur.
[0032] For a further optimized solution, a temperature sensor is provided in the hot water tank 3, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the automatic monitoring network device 8.
[0033] The temperature sensor in the hot water tank 3 monitors the water temperature in the tank and transmits the data to the automatic monitoring network device 8. The automatic monitoring network device 8 can open and close the gravity flow valve 13 according to the temperature in the temperature sensor, and then control the discharge of the heated water in the hot water tank 3.
[0034] For a further optimized solution, the heat exchanger 1 is a thin-walled metal partition heat exchanger 1.
[0035] The thin-walled metal partition heat exchanger 1 has high heat exchange efficiency, small heat loss, compact and light structure, small floor area, convenient installation and cleaning, wide application, and long service life.
[0036] For a further optimized solution, the circulating medium in the medium circulation pipeline 11 is cooling oil or antifreeze; the internal heat exchange medium in the water circulation pipeline 2 is softened water.
[0037] Cooling oil or antifreeze is not easy to freeze and has high heat conduction efficiency, and softened water is not easy to scale, so it is not easy to block the pipeline.
[0038] The details not elaborated in the present utility model are all well-known conventional technical means in the art.
