The refrigerant is condensed into high-pressure liquid refrigerant at the same time; after being throttled and pressure-reduced by the first throttling valve, it enters the first evaporator 4.
[0044] After throttling, the refrigerant absorbs the heat of the high-humidity high-temperature air sucked from the drying room 5, forms low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and the high-humidity high-temperature air flows through the fin surface of the first evaporator 4 to release heat and condense a large amount of medium-temperature condensed water, thereby realizing dehumidification and cooling.
[0045] The low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is sucked into the compressor again for compression, and the process is repeated.

[0048] The low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant from the second evaporator is sucked into the compressor to form high-pressure and high-temperature gaseous refrigerant, enters the second condenser 9 to reheat the air dehumidified by the first evaporator 4, and the refrigerant is condensed into high-pressure liquid refrigerant; then the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled and pressure-reduced and temperature-reduced by the second throttling valve and enters the second evaporator to absorb the heat of the condensed water in the heat storage water tank 7, and the refrigerant is evaporated into low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant, which enters the compressor again, and the process is repeated.
[0049] The system considers that the heat of the condensed water in the heat storage water tank 7 is insufficient or the recoverable heat is very small, for example, the condensed water is relatively small or the temperature is relatively low in the early stage of drying, and a route of air-side evaporator is added to absorb sufficient heat from the air, and the flow can be distributed through the opening degree of the second throttling valve to realize sufficient primary reheating.
[0050] (3) Heat exhaust cooling system
[0051] In the drying process, there is a case that the drying room 5 needs to exhaust heat or cool down, at this time, the heat in the drying room 5 is fully utilized to be absorbed and transferred to the heat storage water tank 7 according to the heat pump principle, and the specific process is as follows:
[0052] The low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the third evaporator 17 is sucked into the third compressor 14, is compressed into high-pressure and high-temperature gaseous refrigerant, enters the third condenser 15 to release heat to the water in the heat storage water tank 7, is condensed into high-pressure liquid refrigerant, is throttled and pressure-reduced and temperature-reduced, enters the third evaporator 17 to absorb the heat of the medium-high-temperature air in the drying room 5 and cool down the air, and the refrigerant is evaporated into low-pressure gaseous refrigerant again, enters the compressor again, and the process is repeated.
[0053] The heat pump drying system of the condensed water heat recovery utility model mainly comprises a drying room, a set of dehumidification and reheating heat pump system, a set of heat recovery heat pump system coupled with condensed water, a set of heat exhaust cooling heat pump heat storage system and the like.
[0054] The condensed water generated by dehumidification in the heat pump drying system is collected, the heat in the medium-temperature condensed water is fully absorbed through the coupled heat recovery system, high-temperature hot air is generated, the heat recovery in the heat pump drying system is realized, the air supply heat and temperature are improved, and the overall drying effect and energy saving performance of the system are improved.
