[0048] In recent years, with the rapid development of energy recovery technology and the continuous improvement of its device efficiency, the water production energy consumption of reverse osmosis seawater desalination systems has been greatly reduced. The pressure exchanger, an energy recovery device, has now become one of the essential equipment in seawater or brackish water reverse osmosis desalination systems.
[0049] Reverse osmosis technology has been widely used in seawater desalination. Major constraints to large-scale desalination are energy consumption and the manufacturing technology of key energy recovery components. Energy consumption accounts for over 60% of total operating costs in desalination systems. However, the brine discharged from reverse osmosis modules still maintains a pressure of 5-6 MPa. If this energy could be used to boost the pressure of the seawater feed, system energy consumption could be significantly reduced.
[0050] The energy recovery device realizes the continuous sequential switching of the boost and decompression strokes during the pressure exchange process through the rotational movement of the multi-channel rotor 200, so the continuity of the supply and discharge of the working fluid is better.
[0051] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , the present application proposes a pressure exchanger, which is used to exchange pressure between high-pressure brine output from a reverse osmosis module and low-pressure seawater.
[0052] Specifically, the pressure exchanger includes a rotor 200, a sleeve member 100, a first end cover 300 and a second end cover 400. The rotor 200 is cylindrical and has a plurality of conversion channels 210 parallel to the axis of the rotor 200. A rotating inner cavity 101 is formed in the sleeve member 100, and the rotor 200 can be rotatably connected in the rotating inner cavity 101.
[0053] The upper and lower ends of the rotating inner cavity 101 are respectively covered by the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400. The two ends of the sleeve member 100 are respectively the first end 110 and the second end 120. The first end cover 300 is connected to the first end 110 of the sleeve member 100, and the second end cover 400 is connected to the second end 120 of the sleeve member 100.
[0054] A first inlet 310 and a first outlet 320 are formed on the first end cover 300 . The first inlet 310 and the first outlet 320 can be used to communicate with the conversion channel 210 .
[0055] A second inlet 410 and a second outlet 420 are formed on the second end cover 400 . The second inlet 410 corresponds to the position of the first outlet 320 . The second inlet 410 and the first outlet 320 are communicated with both ends of the conversion channel 210 .
[0056] The second outlet 420 corresponds to the position of the first inlet 310 , and is connected to the first inlet 310 and both ends of the conversion channel 210 .
[0057] The first inlet 310 is used to input high-pressure salt water, and the second outlet 420 is used to input pressurized high-pressure seawater.
[0058] The second inlet 410 is used to input low-pressure seawater, and the first outlet 320 is used to output the reduced-pressure low-pressure salt water.
[0059] The rotor 200 may be driven by an external force, or the fluid entering the conversion channel 210 through the first inlet 310 and the second inlet 410 may drive the rotor 200 to rotate, as is known in the art.
[0060] During the rotation of the rotor 200, high-pressure salt water is input from the first inlet 310 through the first end cover 300 into the conversion channel 210, causing the pressurized high-pressure seawater to be discharged from the other end of the conversion channel 210, that is, from the first outlet 320 on the second end cover 400; and then, after a very short interval, the conversion channel 210 becomes connected to the second inlet 410 from the second end cover 400, and low-pressure seawater is input from the second inlet 410, causing the low-pressure salt water to be discharged from the first outlet 320 of the first end cover 300 at the other end of the conversion channel 210 at the same time, and this cycle repeats.
[0061] Specific reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 A receiving recess is formed on the inner end surface of the first end cover 300 and / or the second end cover 400 close to the rotor 200. Specifically, the receiving recess is an annular groove formed on the inner end surface of the first end cover 300 and / or the second end cover 400 and extending away from the rotor 200.
[0062] The accommodating recess formed on the inner end surface of the first end cover 300 is defined as an upper accommodating recess 340 , and the accommodating recess formed on the inner surface of the second end cover 400 is defined as a lower accommodating recess 440 .
[0063] The upper accommodating recess 340 divides the inner end surface of the first end cover 300 into an upper connecting surface 342 and an upper contact surface 341 . The upper connecting surface 342 is located outside the upper accommodating recess 340 , and the upper contact surface 341 is located inside the upper accommodating recess 340 .
[0064] The lower accommodating recess 440 separates the inner end surface of the second end cover 400 into a lower connecting surface 442 and a lower contact surface 441 . The lower connecting surface 442 is located outside the lower accommodating recess 440 , and the lower contact surface 441 is located inside the lower accommodating recess 440 .
[0065] refer to Figure 6-Figure 8 A connecting surface is formed on the outer side of the accommodating recess, and a contact surface is formed on the inner side of the accommodating recess. The height of the connecting surface is higher than the contact surface, and the size of the contact surface is adapted to the end face size of the rotor 200.
[0066] Specific, combined Figure 10 For the first end cover 300 , the upper connecting surface 342 thereof is higher than the upper contact surface 341 , and a gap is formed between the first end surface 201 of the rotor 200 close to the first end cover 300 and the upper contact surface 341 .
[0067] Similarly, for the second end cover 400 , the lower connecting surface 442 thereof is higher than the lower contact surface 441 , and a gap is formed between the second end surface 202 of the rotor 200 close to the second end cover 400 and the lower contact surface 441 .
[0068] During the rotation of the rotor 200, due to the formation of a gap between it and the upper contact surface 341 and / or the lower contact surface 441, the gap becomes larger during the rotation process, so that the rotor 200 and the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 are physically separated. Even if the machine is stopped, they will not attract and adhere to each other, and the amount of lubricating fluid in the middle increases, which is more conducive to maintaining hydraulic lubrication, and can be easily started when starting.
[0069] refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present application, a rotation gap 102 is formed between the rotor 200 and the sleeve member 100 , and the accommodating recess is aligned with the rotation gap 102 .
[0070] A penetrating liquid inlet hole 140 is further formed on the outer wall of the sleeve member 100 . The liquid inlet hole 140 is externally connected to a liquid inlet pipe for conveying fluid into the rotating gap 102 between the sleeve member 100 and the rotor 200 .
[0071] The liquid inlet pipe is used to transport high-pressure brine. Part of the high-pressure brine is input into the rotating gap 102 through the liquid inlet pipe from the liquid inlet hole 140, forming a water film between the rotor 200 and the inner wall of the sleeve member 100, which plays a lubricating role and further reduces friction.
[0072] The upper accommodating recess 340 and the lower accommodating recess 440 opposite to the rotating gap 102 serve as a temporary storage for the lubricant. The lubricant input from the liquid inlet hole 140 enters the rotating gap 102 and is transported up and down along the rotating gap 102. After passing through the upper accommodating recess 340 and the lower accommodating recess 440, it enters the gap between the rotor 200 and the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400, thereby lubricating the relative movement between the rotor 200 and the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400.
[0073] Afterwards, the high-pressure brine that acts as a lubricant is discharged from the first outlet 320 or the second outlet 420. Since the content of the high-pressure brine in this part is very small, it will not affect the result of the pressure conversion.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the height dimension h1 of the connection surface from the contact surface is designed to be 0.001mm~0.12mm, that is, the height difference between the upper connection surface 342 and the upper contact surface 341, and the lower connection surface 442 and the lower contact surface 441 is in the range of 0.001mm~0.12mm.
[0075] The distance h2 between the bottom of the accommodating recess and the contact surface is designed to be 2 mm to 4 mm.
[0076] Specifically, the distance between the bottom of the upper accommodating recess 340 and the upper contact surface 341 ranges from 2 mm to 4 mm, and the distance between the bottom of the lower accommodating recess 440 and the lower contact surface 441 ranges from 2 mm to 4 mm. If the distance is too small, the anti-adhesion effect is poor; if the distance is too large, it affects the sealing between the rotor 200 and the end cover.
[0077] Reference again Figure 2 、 Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first end cover 300 is provided with a first inlet 310 and a first outlet 320 , and the second end cover 400 is correspondingly provided with a second outlet 420 and a second inlet 410 .
[0078] The first inlet 310 and the first outlet 320 are arranged at intervals of 180 degrees around the center of the first end cover 300 .
[0079] Correspondingly, the second outlet 420 and the second inlet 410 are also arranged at intervals of 180 degrees around the center of the second end cover 400 .
[0080] Then, during one rotation of the rotor 200 , one high-pressure salt water pressure reduction process and one low-pressure seawater pressure increase process can be completed.
[0081] Additionally, in some other embodiments, two or more first inlets 310 and two or more first outlets 320 are formed on the first end cover 300 ; the number of second inlets 410 and second outlets 420 on the second end cover 400 is equal to the number of first inlets 310 .
[0082] For example but not limited to, the first end cover 300 is provided with two first inlets 310 and two first outlets 320 , and the second end cover 400 is formed with two second inlets 410 and two second outlets 420 .
[0083] The two first inlets 310 and the two first outlets 320 are equally spaced 90 degrees around the center of the first end cover 300 , and the two second inlets 410 and the two second outlets 420 are equally spaced 90 degrees around the center of the second end cover 400 .
[0084] When the rotor 200 rotates one circle, the inlets on the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 of each conversion channel 210 diametrically opposite to each other input high-pressure fluid, and the corresponding outlets at the other end output low-pressure fluid.
[0085] Thus, high pressure liquid is discharged from each transfer passage 210 twice during one rotation of the rotor 200; this essentially doubles the ability of the pressure exchanger to discharge high pressure liquid during each rotation of the rotor 200, as compared to prior art devices that use one inlet on each end cap and one approximately diametrically opposed outlet on each end cap.
[0086] A first blocking area 330 is formed between the adjacent first inlet 310 and the first outlet 320, and a second blocking area 430 is formed between the adjacent second inlet 410 and the second outlet 420. The two ends of the conversion channel 210 are respectively connected to the first inlet 310 and the second inlet 410, or the two ends of the conversion channel 210 are respectively connected to the first outlet 320 and the second outlet 420, or the two ends of the conversion channel 210 are respectively blocked by the first blocking area 330 and the second blocking area 430.
[0087] The arc distance corresponding to the first blocking area 330 and the second blocking area 430 is greater than the opening size of the two ends of the conversion channel 210 , and is used to seal the two ends of the conversion channel 210 .
[0088] This ensures that the conversion channel 210 on the rotor 200 cannot be connected to the inlet and outlet on the same end cover at the same time.
[0089] The height difference between the connection surface and the contact surface cannot be too large to avoid affecting the sealing between the rotor 200 and the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 .
[0090] Combine Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present application, in order to ensure the stable rotation of the rotor 200, the connection between the first end cover 300, the second end cover 400 and the sleeve member 100 is stable, and the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 are prevented from falling outward during the rotation of the rotor 200. The first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 are limited. A tensioning rod 500 is also provided in the present application.
[0091] A penetrating connecting hole 520 is formed in the middle of the rotor 200, the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 respectively. The tensioning rod 500 is arranged in the connecting hole 520. A limiting portion 510 is provided on the tensioning rod 500. The limiting portion 510 is respectively located on the outer surface of the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 away from the rotor 200.
[0092] The limiting portion 510 is specifically a nut structure. A threaded section is provided on the tension rod 500 . The limiting portion 510 is threadedly connected to the threaded section of the tension rod 500 to limit the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 .
[0093] During installation, first put the first end cover 300, the rotor 200 and the second end cover 400 on the tensioning rod 500, then put the limiting part 510 from the outside of the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 respectively, and fix them on the threaded segment by threaded connection. The position of the threaded segment is respectively located on the outside of the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400, and the limiting part 510 is connected to the threaded segment at the corresponding position to limit the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 respectively.
[0094] In other embodiments of the present application, in order to ensure that the relative positions of the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 are accurately installed, positioning portions 130 are respectively provided at both ends of the sleeve member 100, and the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 are respectively formed with upper positioning portions 350 and lower positioning portions 450 on the inner end surfaces close to the sleeve member 100.
[0095] The positioning portion 130 is connected to the corresponding upper positioning portion 350 to realize the connection and positioning of the first end cover 300 and the sleeve member 100. The positioning portion 130 below the sleeve member 100 is correspondingly connected to the lower positioning portion 450 on the second end cover 400 to realize the positioning of the second end cover 400.
[0096] The positioning portion 130 is a plurality of positioning holes arranged at an angle, and the upper positioning portion 350 and the lower positioning portion 450 are a plurality of positioning protrusions corresponding one-to-one to the positioning holes.
[0097] The multiple positioning holes of the positioning portion 130 are specifically arranged to be arranged at non-uniform intervals along the end face of the sleeve member 100. For example, but not limited to, the number of positioning holes is three, two of the three positioning holes are respectively arranged on the diameter of the end face of the sleeve member 100, that is, arranged at 180 degrees, and the specific position of the other positioning hole is not restricted, and it is sufficient to ensure that the positioning holes of the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 are arranged in alignment. Then, during actual installation, the relative positions of the first end cover 300 and the second end cover 400 can be determined by the connection between the first end cover 300 and the sleeve member 100, and between the second end cover 400 and the sleeve member 100, ensuring that the first inlet 310 on the first end cover 300 and the second outlet 420 on the second end cover 400 correspond one-to-one, and the first outlet 320 corresponds one-to-one to the second inlet 410.
[0098] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0099] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
