[0023] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure / this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure / this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure / this application, and not all of them. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure / this application, its application, or use. Example 1:
[0024] This embodiment provides a heat source tower solution concentration system, comprising: a heat source tower solution tank 10, an evaporator 4 connected to the outlet of the heat source tower solution tank 10, a screw dehydrator 6 connected to the heat source tower solution outlet of the evaporator 4, and a water collection tank 7 connected to the outlet of the screw dehydrator 6; the water collection tank 7 is connected to the heat source tower solution tank 10;
[0025] The connecting pipe is a heat source tower solution pipe 12; a crystal promoter 5 is installed on the heat source tower solution pipe 12 between the evaporator 4 and the screw dehydrator 6;
[0026] Refrigerant and heat source tower solution flow in the evaporator 4 . The refrigerant flows through the evaporator 4 through the refrigerant pipe 11 , and the heat source tower solution flows through the evaporator 4 through the heat source tower solution pipe 12 . The refrigerant exchanges heat with the heat source tower solution through the evaporator 4 .
[0027] A heat source tower solution circulation pump 8 is installed on the heat source tower solution pipe 12 between the evaporator 4 and the heat source tower solution tank 10 , and the liquid flows in a direction away from the heat source tower solution tank 10 .
[0028] A heat source tower solution return pump 9 is installed on the heat source tower solution pipe 12 between the water collecting tank 7 and the heat source tower solution tank 10 , and the liquid flows toward the heat source tower solution tank 10 .
[0029] The crystal promoter 5 is an ultrasonic crystal promoter 5, which can cause the solid solute in the supersaturated solution to produce rapid and gradual precipitation, and at the same time can enhance crystal growth. Compared with other stimulated crystallization methods, the supersaturation required for ultrasonic nucleation is lower, the growth rate is fast, and the resulting crystal nuclei are more uniform, complete, and smooth. The size distribution range of the crystal nuclei and the finished crystals is smaller, and the coefficient of variation is lower.
[0030] The evaporator 4 is provided with a refrigerant liquid outlet and a refrigerant liquid inlet. The refrigerant liquid outlet of the evaporator 4 is connected to the compressor 1 through a refrigerant pipe 11. The compressor 1 is connected to the condenser 2 through the refrigerant pipe 11. The condenser 2 is connected to the refrigerant liquid inlet of the evaporator 4 through the refrigerant pipe 11.
[0031] The refrigerant pipe 11 between the condenser 2 and the evaporator 4 is connected to an expansion valve 3 .
[0032] The evaporator 4 is a plate-type heat exchanger, and the surface of the plate is provided with a corrugated structure; the evaporator 4 is formed by pressing metal plates into heat exchange plates with a certain corrugated shape, which are then stacked and fastened with clamps and bolts. Rectangular channels are formed between these plates, and heat exchange is carried out through the plates.
[0033] The solution in the heat source tower and the solution in the refrigerant pipe 11 pass through the flow channel in sequence, with an interlayer plate in the middle to separate the fluids, and heat exchange is carried out through this plate.
[0034] The heat source tower solution concentration system provided in this embodiment offers a major advantage over conventional systems. After a period of operation, conventional systems contain a dilute solution. For multiple uses, solution concentration technology is required to re-concentrate the dilute solution and recycle it. As a novel energy supply solution, the heat source tower acts as a cooling tower in the summer, releasing heat into the air. In the winter, it absorbs heat from the air and converts it into high-quality heat via a heat pump to meet heating needs.
[0035] The inside of the evaporator 4 is formed with rectangular channels by plates, and the refrigerant or heat source tower solution flows through the rectangular channels respectively.
[0036] The heat source tower solution and the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator 4 are not in direct contact.
[0037] When the system provided in this embodiment is in operation, the evaporator 4 circulates to reduce the temperature of the solution in the system to below the freezing point, the water in the solution can be condensed into ice through the crystal promoter 5, and the water in the solution is removed by the screw dehydrator 6. The remaining concentrated solution is transported to the water collection tank 7 and returned to the heat source tower solution tank 10 through the heat source tower solution return pump 9, completing the solution concentration process of the system. Example 2:
[0038] The refrigerant first passes through expansion valve 3, where its pressure drops. It then enters evaporator 4, where it absorbs heat and vaporizes. This process removes heat, cooling the solution. The vaporized refrigerant then flows from evaporator 4 to compressor 1, which pressurizes it before it flows to condenser 2, completing the cycle.
[0039] When the gaseous refrigerant flows from the evaporator 4 into the compressor 1, it compresses it, causing its temperature and pressure to rise dramatically. This process increases the refrigerant's energy and sends it to the condenser 2, where it releases heat. Once the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser 2, it releases a significant amount of heat through heat exchange with the outside air or cooling water, gradually transforming into a liquid state. This released heat is typically dissipated to the external environment. The refrigerant exiting the condenser 2 is a high-pressure liquid. When it passes through the expansion valve 3, its pressure and temperature drop rapidly, leaving it in a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid state or a gas-liquid mixture. The expanded refrigerant then enters the evaporator 4, where it absorbs heat, beginning a new refrigeration cycle.
[0040] In the description of this disclosure / application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure / application based on specific circumstances.
[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present disclosure / application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present disclosure / application.
