Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy recovery and utilization technology, and in particular to a series composite system for multi-stage utilization of waste heat. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization, energy consumption is increasing day by day, especially the large amount of waste heat generated in industrial production processes that has not been effectively utilized, resulting in a huge waste of energy. At present, waste heat recovery technology mainly focuses on single-stage heat exchange, which often can only recover a portion of the heat and is not very efficient.

[0003] Existing waste heat recovery systems mostly use simple heat exchangers, such as shell-and-tube heat exchangers. These systems typically only achieve single-stage heat exchange and cannot realize the effective utilization of multi-stage waste heat. For example, a waste heat boiler developed by a certain company can recover some waste heat, but it is limited to single-stage heat exchange and fails to achieve multi-stage utilization of waste heat.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the series composite system for multi-stage utilization of waste heat includes a first heat pump cycle system 1, a second heat pump cycle system 2, a waste heat recovery heat exchanger 3, a hot water storage tank 4, and a solar vacuum collector 5; the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 3 is connected to the evaporator of the first heat pump cycle system 1, the evaporator is connected to the hot water storage tank 4, the hot water storage tank 4 is cyclically connected to the solar vacuum collector 5, and the hot water storage tank 4 is connected to the evaporator of the second heat pump cycle system 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first heat pump cycle system 1 and the second heat pump cycle system 2 are the same, meaning they have the same components and the same connection method. The first heat pump cycle system 1 will be used for explanation here. For distinction, the evaporator of the first heat pump cycle system 1 is designated as the first evaporator 14, and the evaporator of the second heat pump cycle system 2 is designated as the second evaporator 24.

[0028] The first heat pump cycle system 1 includes a compressor 11, a condenser 12, an expansion valve 13, a first evaporator 14, and a gas-liquid separator 15, which are connected in a cycle. It also includes a hose 16 and a one-way valve 17, the hose 16 and the one-way valve 17 connecting the compressor 11 and the gas-liquid separator 15, and the hose 16 and the one-way valve 17 connecting the compressor 11 and the condenser 12.

[0029] Heat pump cycle: The refrigerant is compressed in compressor 11, increasing its pressure and temperature, turning it into high-temperature, high-pressure vapor. The compressed high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant vapor is discharged and sent to condenser 12. In condenser 12, the refrigerant vapor releases heat, its temperature drops, and it condenses. The refrigerant passes through expansion valve 13, its pressure decreases, and some of the refrigerant flashes into low-pressure vapor, forming a gas-liquid mixture. This refrigerant gas-liquid mixture absorbs heat from the cooled medium (water) in the first evaporator 14 and evaporates into vapor. Gas-liquid separator 15 uses gravity or centrifugal force to separate the liquid refrigerant and vapor; the vapor returns to compressor 11 to complete the cycle.

[0030] Hose 16 can be used to buffer the transmission pressure and facilitate the layout of various parts.

[0031] One-way valve 17 is used to control the conveying direction of the enterprise.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the first end of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 3 is a wastewater inlet, the second end is connected to the first evaporator 14 of the first heat pump cycle system 1, the third end of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 3 is a waste gas inlet, and the fourth end is a waste gas outlet. A first water pump 31 is connected between the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 3 and the first evaporator 14.

[0033] The second evaporator 24 of the second heat pump cycle system 2 is connected to the water storage tank 6. The water storage tank 6 is connected to the drain valve 61. The water storage tank 6 stores water for the second evaporator 24.

[0034] A second water pump 51 and a water valve 52 are connected to the pipe between the hot water storage tank 4 and the solar vacuum collector 5. An exhaust valve 41 is connected to the hot water storage tank 4. A third water pump 42 is connected between the hot water storage tank 4 and the second evaporator 24 of the second heat pump circulation system 2.

[0035] Waste heat recovery: Wastewater absorbs heat from the exhaust gas in the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 3, then transfers the heat to the refrigerant through the first evaporator 14, and then enters the hot water storage tank 4. The water in the hot water storage tank 4 is pumped to the solar vacuum collector 5 by the second water pump 51 to absorb solar heat. The solar vacuum collector 5 is used to circulate and heat the water in the hot water storage tank 4. The water with increased heat then enters the second evaporator 24 of the second heat pump circulation system 2, achieving efficient waste heat recovery.

[0036] This embodiment adopts a tiered energy and secondary utilization method to efficiently utilize waste heat; it uses solar energy to raise the temperature of the used waste heat source, thereby improving the secondary utilization efficiency; it couples the waste heat from exhaust gas with the waste heat from wastewater; it can significantly improve the waste heat recovery efficiency, reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and has significant environmental and economic benefits.
