Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pump dryer technology, and more specifically to a waste heat recovery and utilization device for a heat pump dryer. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature heat pump dryers mainly consist of four parts: a finned evaporator (outdoor unit), a compressor, a finned condenser (indoor unit), and an expansion valve. They transfer heat from the low-temperature external environment to the drying chamber by continuously cycling the refrigerant through evaporation (absorbing heat from the outdoor environment), compression, condensation (releasing heat in the indoor drying chamber), throttling, and re-evaporation. The refrigerant circulates within the system under the action of the compressor. During operation, the heat pump dryer discharges heat through vents; therefore, a waste heat recovery device is needed to recover and reuse the discharged heat to improve environmental friendliness.
[0003] Currently, when recovering and utilizing the waste heat of heat pump desiccants, the common method is to transfer the heat from the heat pump dryer to the water through heat exchange tubes, and then utilize the heat in the water to achieve the purpose of waste heat recovery. However, during the use of heat exchange tubes, impurities in the water will accumulate on the surface of the heat exchange tubes. As the impurities gradually thicken, they will reduce the heat exchange effect between the heat and the water, thus affecting the efficiency of waste heat recovery.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a waste heat recovery and utilization device for a heat pump dryer to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the number of heat exchange tubes is several, and the several heat exchange tubes are evenly distributed between the two connecting plates; by setting several heat exchange tubes, the heat exchange area can be greatly increased and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a waste heat recovery and utilization device for a heat pump dryer, including a heat pump dryer body 1 and a waste heat recovery box 2. A control panel 12 is fixedly installed on the front of the waste heat recovery box 2, and the control panel 12 is electrically connected to an external power source through wires.
[0027] Both sides of the waste heat recovery box 2 are fitted with circulation pipes 3, and one of the circulation pipes 3 has an exhaust fan inside. The circulation pipe 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the heat pump dryer body 1. Both circulation pipes 3 are welded to one end of the waste heat recovery box 2 with connecting plates 4.

[0029] There are several heat exchange tubes 5, which are evenly distributed between the two connecting plates 4.
[0030] Furthermore, by setting up several heat exchange tubes 5, the heat exchange area can be greatly increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
