[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an industrial waste gas waste heat recovery chiller / hot water unit includes a first heat exchanger 1 connected to a waste gas pipeline and a second heat exchanger 2 connected to a user end. A heating system is provided between the first heat exchanger 1 and the second heat exchanger 2. The first heat exchanger 1 includes a shell 1.1. A flue gas heat exchange pipe 1.2 and a refrigerant heat exchange pipe 1.3 are provided inside the shell 1.1. The interface ends of the flue gas heat exchange pipe 1.2 and the refrigerant heat exchange pipe 1.3 extend to the outside of the shell 1.1. A water tank 3 is provided on one side of the first heat exchanger 1, and two water inlets of the first heat exchanger 1 are respectively connected to a water supply pipe 4 and the water tank 3. A third heat exchanger 5 is provided on the other side of the water tank 3. A cooling system is provided between the second heat exchanger 2 and the third heat exchanger 5. Two water inlets of the third heat exchanger 5 are respectively connected to a water supply pipe 4 and the water tank 3. A drain pipe with a valve is installed on the water tank 3.

[0017] Cold water is supplied to the first heat exchanger 1 through the water supply pipe 4. After the cold water exchanges heat with the exhaust gas, it forms hot water and is then transported to the water tank 3 for storage.

[0018] An industrial waste heat recovery chiller / hot water unit further includes a compressor 6, a refrigerant tank 7, an expansion valve 8, a four-way valve 9, and a gas-liquid separator 10. The output end of the refrigerant tank 7 is connected to the expansion valve 8 via a connecting pipe. The output end of the expansion valve 8 is connected to the refrigerant interface of a first heat exchanger 1 via pipe A11. The four interfaces of the four-way valve 9 are respectively connected to another refrigerant interface of the first heat exchanger 1, the gas-liquid separator 10, the compressor 6, and the refrigerant interface of the second heat exchanger 2 via pipes B12, C13, D14, and E15. The output end of the gas-liquid separator 10 is connected to the input end of the compressor 6 via a conduit. The other refrigerant interface of the second heat exchanger 2 is connected to the input end of the refrigerant tank 7 via pipe F16.

[0019] The output end of the expansion valve 8 is connected to the pipe F16 via pipe G17. One refrigerant interface of the third heat exchanger 5 is connected to the pipe B12 via pipe H18, and the other refrigerant interface is connected to the input end of the refrigerant tank 7 via pipe I19. Solenoid valves are installed on pipes A11, G17, and H18, and check valves are installed on pipes B12, I19, and F16.

[0020] In practical use, when the heating system is working, the solenoid valve on pipe A11 is opened, pipes B12 and C13 form a passage through the four-way valve 9, and pipes D14 and E15 form a passage through the four-way valve 9; the second heat exchanger 2 is used as a condenser.

[0021] The two inlets of the second heat exchanger 2 are connected to the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. Cold water is introduced into the second heat exchanger 2 through the inlet pipe. The refrigerant is output from the refrigerant tank 7 and throttled and depressurized through the expansion valve 8. When it flows through the first heat exchanger 1, the refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates to form steam. The steam is compressed and pressurized by the compressor 6 after passing through the gas-liquid separator 10. The high-pressure steam enters the second heat exchanger 2, releases heat and condenses into liquid, and then flows back into the refrigerant tank 7. The cold water in the second heat exchanger 2 is heated into hot water and output to achieve heating.

[0022] The rate at which cold water is delivered to the first heat exchanger 1 is controlled to keep the water temperature in the first heat exchanger 1 constant, thus ensuring the heating effect and providing hot water.

[0023] When the cooling system is working, the solenoid valves on pipes G17 and H18 are opened, pipes B12 and D14 form a passage through the four-way valve 9, and pipes C13 and E15 form a passage through the four-way valve 9; the second heat exchanger 2 is used as an evaporator.

[0024] Cold water is supplied to the third heat exchanger 5 through the water supply pipe 4. The two water inlets of the second heat exchanger 2 are connected to the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. Warm water at room temperature is supplied to the second heat exchanger 2 through the inlet pipe. The refrigerant is output from the refrigerant tank 7 and throttled and depressurized through the expansion valve 8. When it flows through the second heat exchanger 2, the refrigerant absorbs the heat of the warm water and evaporates to form steam. The warm water absorbs heat and is output as cold water, thus achieving refrigeration. The steam is compressed and pressurized by the compressor 6 after passing through the gas-liquid separator 10. The high-pressure steam enters the third heat exchanger 5, releases heat and condenses into liquid, and then flows back into the refrigerant tank 7. The cold water in the third heat exchanger 5 is heated into hot water and transported to the water tank 3.

[0025] Cold water is supplied to the first heat exchanger 1 through the water supply pipe 4. After the cold water exchanges heat with the exhaust gas, it forms hot water, which is then transported to the water tank 3 for storage and to provide hot water.

[0026] By recovering waste gas and residual heat generated during refrigeration for heating, the overall utilization rate of energy can be improved, reducing the need for additional energy and thus lowering operating costs and energy consumption.
