Description

[0023] The connections of each component are shown below:

[0024] A first valve 23 is connected to the first branch pipe 13. One end of the first branch pipe 13 is connected between the first oil supply main pipe 7 and the second oil supply main pipe 8, and the other end is connected to the first adjustable injection mixer 31. The first adjustable injection mixer 31 is connected to the first heat-using device 3 through the second branch pipe 14. The first heat-using device 3 is connected between the first return oil main pipe 10 and the second return oil main pipe 11 through the third branch pipe 15 connected to the second valve 24.

The second adjustable injection mixer 32 is connected to the second heat-using device 4 through the sixth branch pipe 18.

[0026] The ninth branch pipe 21 is connected to the seventh valve 29. One end of the ninth branch pipe 21 is connected to the output end of the third oil supply main pipe 9, and the other end is connected to the third heat-using device 5. The third heat-using device 5 is connected to the input end of the third return oil main pipe 12 through the tenth branch pipe 22 connected to the eighth valve 30.

[0027] During the original equipment usage:

[0028] Set heat source device 1, Q=300m 3 / h, H=0.4MPa. The first heat-using device 3, the second heat-using device 4, and the third heat-using device 5 each have a Q=100m³ / h. 3 / h, H=0.1MPa.

[0029] After being pressurized by circulating pump 2, the heat transfer oil passes through the heat source at a pressure value that is artificially set to an usable pressure of H = 0.4 MPa after the pressure drop. This pressure is just enough to overcome the resistance of the terminal pipeline and the heat-using equipment. For the first heat-using equipment 3, there is an excess pressure head of 0.3 MPa, which is consumed by valve and pipeline resistance, producing no effect and wasting the excess usable pressure head. For the second heat-using equipment 4, there is an excess pressure head of 0.2 MPa, which is consumed by valve and pipeline resistance, producing no effect and wasting the excess usable pressure head. For the third heat-using equipment 5, there is no excess pressure head.

[0030] After improvement:

[0031] After being pressurized by the circulating pump 2, the heat transfer oil passes through the heat source device 1. The usable pressure after the pressure drop is set to H = 0.4 MPa, and the pressure loss through the first oil supply main pipe 7 is 0.05 MPa. Therefore, the pressure head entering the first adjustable injection mixer 31 is 0.35 MPa, and Q = 70 m. 3 / h, the pressure loss of the first heat-using equipment 3 is 0.1MPa, then the excess pressure head is 0.2MPa. Utilizing the excess pressure head of 0.2MPa, Q=30m is drawn in through the first adjustable injection mixer 31. 3 The return oil flows at a rate of / h, then enters the first heat-using device 3. The flow rate of the heat transfer oil through the first heat-using device 3 is Q = 100m³. 3 / h.

[0032] Similarly: the pressure head entering the second adjustable injection mixer 32 is 0.3MPa, Q=80m 3 / h, the pressure loss of the second heat-using equipment 4 is 0.1MPa, so the excess pressure head is 0.1MPa. Utilizing the excess pressure head of 0.1MPa, Q=20m³ is drawn in through the second adjustable injection mixer 32. 3 The return oil flows at a rate of / h, then enters the second heat-using device 4. The flow rate of the heat transfer oil through the first heat-using device 3 is Q = 100m³. 3 / h.

[0033] Similarly: the pressure head entering the third heat-using device 5 is 0.25 MPa, with no excess pressure head available. The flow rate of the heat transfer oil through the first heat-using device 3 is Q = 100 m³ / s. 3 / h.

[0034] The first heat-using device 3 and the second heat-using device 4 were equipped with a first adjustable injection mixer 31 and a second adjustable injection mixer 32, reducing the oil inlet flow rate by Q=50m. 3 / h. This indicates that the total circulation volume can be reduced by Q=50m. 3 / h, the total oil supply of circulating pump 2 only needs Q=250m 3 / h is sufficient to meet heating requirements.

[0035] Because of the adjustable jet mixer, the oil inlet and outlet flow rates can be adjusted according to the actual heat load and temperature of the equipment, ensuring normal heat utilization and hydraulic stability of the system.

[0036] Since the circulation pipeline remains unchanged, a smaller flow rate results in a slower flow velocity and reduced pipeline resistance. Consequently, the head of circulation pump 2, which overcomes this resistance, can also be lowered. As the flow rate and head of circulation pump 2 decrease, its power consumption also decreases. Electricity consumption also decreases accordingly, typically saving 20-30%.

[0037] This application selects three heat-using devices, but more can be used, as long as there is excess pressure head to increase the heat supply. Conversely, when the heat supply is constant, the flow rate and head of the circulating oil pump can be reduced, which increases system stability and achieves energy saving.

[0038] In summary, the component for reducing the energy consumption of a heat transfer oil circulating pump as described in this utility model can greatly increase the operational stability of the system, make full use of the excess pressure head of each branch, reduce the flow rate, head, and power of the circulating pump, reduce power consumption, and achieve the energy-saving purpose of the heat transfer oil system.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
