Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of recovery systems, in particular to a heat energy recovery system. Background Art
[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, the use of cooling water bath sterilizers requires processes such as heating, balancing, and cooling. Currently, the high-temperature cooling water and steam condensate generated by cooling water bath sterilizers produce a lot of waste heat, resulting in serious waste of resources. In order to ensure the recycling of water resources and at the same time, realize the reuse of waste heat resources, it is generally necessary to circulate and cool the high-temperature water before reuse.
[0003] In the existing technology, high-temperature cooling water and steam condensate from a cooling water bath sterilizer are collected in an underground water tank. A water pump then pumps the high-temperature water to a high-temperature cooling tower. The high-temperature cooling tower then cools the water, sending it to a low-temperature cooling tower before finally delivering it to the water bath sterilizer or other equipment requiring cooling water. This process has the following major drawbacks: First, it wastes energy. To lower the water temperature, the water pump and cooling tower fan are constantly running, wasting electricity. Second, heat is not recovered. In winter, when heating is needed, electricity or steam is used for heating, leaving the waste heat unused. Utility Model Content
