Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air compressors, in particular to a two-stage waste heat recovery device for water-cooled air compressors. Background Art

[0002] An air compressor is a device that compresses air into high-pressure gas and stores it in a tank. It consists of many different components, including a compressor, an oil-gas separator, a filter, and a tank. As air is compressed within the compressor, its temperature rises significantly. This is because during the compression process, the potential energy of air molecules is converted into kinetic energy, increasing molecular motion and causing a temperature increase. This temperature is then transferred to the compressed oil, which is then separated by the oil-gas separator. The oil then re-enters the compressor, while the compressed air enters the equipment using the air.

[0003] After searching, the patent document with publication number: CN219911076U discloses an air compressor waste heat recovery and reuse device, which belongs to the technical field of waste heat recovery equipment, including an environmentally friendly air compressor waste heat recovery device, a first insulation box is installed on the top of the environmentally friendly air compressor waste heat recovery device, a second insulation box that cooperates with the first insulation box is installed on the outside of the environmentally friendly air compressor waste heat recovery device, a first observation window is embedded in the front of the second insulation box, and a second observation window that cooperates with the first observation window is embedded on the environmentally friendly air compressor waste heat recovery device. Through the arrangement of the first insulation box and the second insulation box, the utility model can insulate the entire environmentally friendly air compressor waste heat recovery device, improve the insulation performance of the environmentally friendly air compressor waste heat recovery device, reduce the overall heat loss, and at the same time increase the heating speed of the water inside the environmentally friendly air compressor waste heat recovery device, so as to fully utilize the waste heat of the air compressor.

[0004] When in use, the above-mentioned device only recovers and reuses the waste heat of the compressed air, and does not make good use of the waste heat of the air compressor oil (air compressor oil). In addition, when the existing compressed air is recovering the waste heat, heat is transferred through water. In this process, since the compressed air pipeline adopts a disc-shaped structure and the pipe diameter is increased, the friction of the compressed gas increases and the compressed gas pressure decreases, which is not conducive to the use of subsequent gas-using equipment.
