[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air-conditioning equipment, in particular to a lithium bromide unit. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of petrochemicals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, printing and dyeing, steel coking, non-ferrous metals, etc., high-temperature heat (water, exhaust steam, materials) of about 90-130℃ generated from the process is a common waste heat energy in the production process. The waste heat energy produced in the process is used in various applications according to actual needs. For example, it can be directly cooled by a cooling tower or cooled by a lithium bromide refrigeration unit to produce chilled water. Lithium bromide heating heat pumps can also be used to produce higher hot water or steam. These technologies are relatively mature.
[0003] However, using a cooling tower to directly cool down the temperature will cause a waste of heat energy and require the consumption of cooling water, which is not economical; the lithium bromide refrigeration unit only has a single cooling function and cannot meet the customer's high-temperature heat needs; and the lithium bromide heating heat pump only has a single heating function and cannot meet the customer's cooling needs.

The waste hot water passes through the high-pressure evaporator to generate high-temperature refrigerant steam and enters the high-pressure absorber. The absorbent solution generated by the high-pressure absorber enters the first generator, the second generator and the low-pressure absorber in sequence. The low-pressure absorber is connected to the high-pressure absorber in reverse.
[0009] The first condenser and the second condenser are both communicated with the low-pressure evaporator, and the low-pressure evaporator is communicated with the high-pressure evaporator in reverse direction.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, the low-pressure absorber and the low-pressure evaporator are arranged in the same cylinder, and a partition is provided between the low-pressure absorber and the low-pressure evaporator.
[0023] The lithium bromide unit of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0024] The lithium bromide unit of the present invention includes a high-pressure evaporator, a high-pressure absorber, a low-pressure evaporator, a low-pressure absorber, a first generator, a first condenser, a second generator and a second condenser, wherein the high-pressure evaporator, the high-pressure absorber and the first generator, the second generator, the first condenser and the second condenser together constitute a heating cycle, and the low-pressure evaporator, the low-pressure absorber and the first generator, the second generator, the first condenser and the second condenser together constitute a refrigeration cycle.
[0025] Specifically, the waste hot water enters the high-pressure evaporator, and after being processed by the high-pressure evaporator, cooled waste hot water and high-temperature refrigerant steam are obtained, among which the cooled waste hot water enters the first generator and the second generator in turn, and is finally cooled to 80°C and discharged; the high-temperature refrigerant steam enters the high-pressure absorber, and the absorbent in the high-pressure absorber absorbs the heat of the high-temperature refrigerant steam. The high-temperature heat released can heat the replenishment water to produce steam above 0.2MPa or hot water above 120°C, and the absorbent solution generated after the absorbent in the high-heat absorber absorbs the high-temperature refrigerant steam further enters the first generator and the second generator for treatment and becomes concentrated. The concentrated absorbent solution is transported to the low-pressure absorber. In the low-pressure absorber, the concentrated absorbent solution absorbs the refrigerant steam from the low-pressure evaporator, and the solution becomes dilute. The diluted absorbent solution is again input into the high-pressure absorber to complete the solution cycle.
[0026] The high-temperature refrigerant vapor generated by the heated absorbent dilute solution in the first generator and the second generator enters the first condenser and the second condenser respectively. The condensation heat generated in the first condenser and the second condenser is taken away by the cooling water in the tube. The refrigerant water generated by the first condenser and the second condenser enters the low-pressure evaporator after throttling and pressure reduction. The refrigerant in the low-pressure evaporator absorbs the heat of the cold water in the tube and evaporates to produce chilled water at 5-7°C. In addition, the refrigerant in the low-pressure evaporator will be further transported to the high-pressure evaporator. The refrigerant water in the high-pressure evaporator absorbs the heat of the waste hot water in the tube to produce high-temperature refrigerant vapor. At the same time, the temperature of the waste hot water is reduced to complete the refrigerant cycle.
[0027] The absorption heat in the low-pressure absorber and the condensation heat in the first condenser and the second condenser are taken away by the cooling water in the tube.
[0028] Therefore, the lithium bromide unit of the present invention not only solves the demand for cooling process waste water, but also meets the customer's demand for both cold and high-temperature heat (hot water or steam), and can achieve dual use of one machine with low equipment investment and high efficiency.
