[0002] At present, steam drying method is widely used in cement production process, and the moisture in the cement raw material is removed in the drying chamber. First, steam drying method usually needs a large amount of fuel (such as natural gas, coal, etc.) to generate steam, which not only leads to high energy cost, but also brings significant carbon dioxide emission, which causes great burden to the environment. Secondly, the drying chamber is usually in a closed environment during the drying process, and the drying efficiency of the cement raw material is inhibited due to high humidity. The environment with too high humidity will reduce the heat transfer efficiency, resulting in unsatisfactory drying effect. In addition, the heat generated by the steam drying technology is generally supplied to the drying chamber by direct heating method. Although this high-temperature heating can effectively remove the moisture, due to the high heating temperature, it often leads to waste of energy. In summary, the existing heat pump drying system has the problems of poor drying effect and high energy consumption. SUMMARY

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0026] As Figures 1 to 5 Described, a water source heat pump drying system of the embodiment, comprising:
[0027] Drying chamber 1, the drying chamber 1 is communicated with the drying air loop 2 for the drying air in its inside to flow, the both ends of the drying air loop 2 are communicated with the drying chamber 1, so that the drying air realizes the heat exchange effect with the outside via the drying air loop 2.
[0028] Refrigeration cycle loop 3, the refrigeration cycle loop 3 is used to heat the air loop, so that the temperature of the drying air in the drying air loop 2 can be improved, so that the drying air meets the drying temperature needs in the drying chamber 1.
[0029] A water tank 4 is in communication with the preheating evaporation circuit 5, the preheating air circuit 6 and the cooling and dehumidifying circuit 7 respectively, and water in the water tank 4 is used to dehumidify and cool the high-temperature drying air and to heat the drying air and the refrigerant in a low-temperature state. Preferably, the water in the water tank 4 is at a temperature of 55-65°C, so that the effects of cooling the high-temperature air and heating the low-temperature air and refrigerant can be achieved simultaneously.
[0030] The cooling and dehumidifying circuit 7 is used to cool and dehumidify the drying air in the drying air circuit 2, and the preheating evaporation circuit 5 is used to preheat the drying air in the drying air circuit 2 and to increase the temperature of the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle circuit 3.
[0031] Specifically, the drying air circuit 2 comprises, in sequence along the flow direction of the drying air, a heat exchanger 21, a preheater 22 and a condenser 23. Thus, the drying air flowing out of the drying chamber 1 can be cooled and dehumidified by the heat exchanger 21 and then heated by the condenser 23, so that the drying air entering the drying chamber 1 meets the temperature requirements for drying. In addition, the preheater 22 can preheat the low-temperature drying air at the beginning of drying, so as to accelerate the drying air to reach the drying temperature.
[0032] Specifically, the refrigeration cycle circuit 3 is in communication with the condenser 23, and the refrigeration cycle circuit 3 is used to circulate and deliver the refrigerant to the condenser 23. The refrigeration cycle circuit 3 comprises, in sequence, a throttling valve 31, an evaporator 32 and a compressor 33, and the refrigeration cycle circuit 3 circulates the refrigerant, so that the flow of the refrigerant is controlled by the throttling valve 31, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is converted into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant by the compressor 33, then the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is introduced into the condenser 23, the refrigerant in the condenser 23 is cooled by heat exchange, and the drying air around the condenser 23 is heated, so that the drying air reaches the drying temperature, and the cooled refrigerant is further cooled by the evaporator 32.
[0033] Specifically, the preheating evaporation circuit 5 is in communication with the evaporator 32, and the preheating evaporation circuit 5 further comprises an evaporating water pump 51, which is used to control the preheating of the evaporator 32 by water in the preheating evaporation circuit 5, so that the evaporator 32 can quickly reach the working temperature during operation.
[0034] Specifically, the preheated air circuit 6 is connected to the preheater 22. The preheated air circuit 6 also includes a preheated water pump 61, which is used to control the water in the preheated air circuit 6 to preheat the preheater 22. This allows the preheater 22 to preheat the drying air in the drying air circuit 2 during operation, thereby accelerating the drying air to reach the drying temperature.
[0035] Specifically, the cooling and dehumidification circuit 7 is connected to the heat exchanger 21. The cooling and dehumidification circuit 7 also includes a hot water pump 71, which is used to control the water in the cooling and dehumidification circuit 7 to cool the heat exchanger 21. Thus, during operation, the heat exchanger 21 can cool the drying air located in the drying air circuit 2, and at the same time cool the moisture in the drying air to a liquid state, thereby achieving the effect of dehumidifying and cooling the drying air.
[0036] Specifically, there are two drying chambers 1, which are located on both sides of the water tank 4. That is, by combining the above-mentioned circuits and devices with one water tank 4, the effect of processing the two drying chambers 1 at the same time can be achieved.
[0037] Example 1:
[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, there is one water tank 4 and one drying chamber 1, and the water temperature in the water tank 4 is 60°C.
[0039] During the work process, such as Figure 2 As shown, the throttling valve 31, the evaporating water pump 51, and the hot water exchange pump 71 are all in the closed state, with only the preheating water pump 61 open. The drying gas in the drying chamber 1 is at a low temperature at this time. The drying air in the drying air circuit 2 exchanges heat with the water in the water tank 4 through the preheater 22, thereby raising the temperature of the drying air in the drying chamber 1 to 50°C. Then, as... Figure 3 As shown, the evaporation water pump 51 is turned on, causing the water in the water tank 4 to preheat the evaporator 32, which in turn causes the temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the condenser 23 to rise rapidly, quickly raising the temperature of the drying air in the drying chamber 1 to 80°C. Then, the heat exchange water pump 71 is turned on, causing the drying air in the drying air circuit 2 to flow through the heat exchanger 21, thereby dehumidifying and cooling the drying air. The drying air then passes through the preheater 22 and condenser 23 for further heating, reaching the required drying temperature before entering the drying chamber 1. Throughout this process, because part of the water cools down while the other part heats up, the temperature of the water tank 4 is maintained at around 60°C, allowing for reuse.
[0040] Example 2:
[0041] like Figures 4 to 5As shown, in the present embodiment, the water tank 4 is one, the drying chamber 1 is two, and the water temperature in the water tank 4 is 60℃.
[0042] In the working process, the two throttling valves 31, the two evaporative water pumps 51, and the two heat exchange water pumps 71 are in the closed state, only the two preheating water pumps 61 are opened, and the drying gas in the two drying chambers 1 is in a low-temperature state at this time. The drying air in the two drying air circuits 2 respectively passes through the two preheaters 22 and the water in the water tank 4 to exchange heat, so that the temperature of the drying air in the two drying chambers 1 rises to 50℃. Then, the two evaporative water pumps 51 are opened, so that the water in the water tank 4 preheats the two evaporators 32, so that the temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the two condensers 23 rises rapidly, and the temperature of the drying air in the two drying chambers 1 reaches 80℃ rapidly. Then, the two heat exchange water pumps 71 are opened, so that the drying air in the two drying air circuits 2 respectively flows through the two heat exchangers 21, thereby dehumidifying and cooling the drying air, and then the drying air respectively passes through the two preheaters 22 and the two condensers 23 to be heated, and when entering the two drying chambers 1, the drying temperature is also met. In the above entire process, due to the cooling of part of the water and the heating of another part of the water, the temperature of the water tank 4 is always maintained at about 60℃, so that it can be reused. Of course, the above-mentioned water pumps can also be opened at different times.
[0043] By the above structure, the following effects are achieved:
[0044] 1. By exchanging heat between the water in the water tank 4 and the drying air in the drying air circuit 2 before drying, the drying air in the drying chamber 1 is preheated, achieving the effect of saving energy.
[0045] 2. The water in the water tank 4 preheats the refrigeration cycle circuit 3, so that the evaporation temperature rises, and the temperature of the refrigerant also rises, thereby greatly shortening the heating speed of the drying air in the drying chamber 1.
[0046] 3. The temperature and humidity of the drying air are reduced by the cooling and dehumidifying circuit 7, and then heated by the preheater 22 and the condenser 23 and sent back to the drying chamber 1, thereby accelerating the drying efficiency.
[0047] 4. Part of the water in the water tank 4 is cooled, and another part of the water is heated, so that the temperature of the water in the water tank 4 is kept consistent, solving the problem of mismatching of energy demand in different stages of drying.
[0048] The principle and implementation mode of the present application are described by using specific examples, and the above examples are only used to help understand the method and core idea of the present application; meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed according to the idea of the present application, and the above description should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
