[0030] The working principle of one embodiment of this utility model is as follows: When this utility model is working, in the flue gas pipeline 1 at the tail end of the gas boiler, the 88°C flue gas generated by the gas boiler enters the system under the action of the booster fan 5. First, it enters the absorption tower 3. The flue gas flows from bottom to top in the absorption tower 3, is washed by the intermediate medium sprayed from top to bottom, and directly contacts the intermediate substance for heat exchange, recovering some heat and absorbing some harmful gases. The cooled flue gas is discharged through the chimney 11 at the top of the absorption tower. The flue gas outlet temperature drops to 30°C. The heat pump unit 4 is used to realize heat exchange between the intermediate medium and the heat network system pipeline, heating the circulating water in the pipeline from 20°C to 90°C.

[0031] The aforementioned 90℃ circulating water can provide heat for the heating network system and also serve as a heat source for sludge drying. When circulating water is used as a heat source for sludge drying, the following schemes apply: Case 1: After being heated by heat pump unit 4, the circulating water directly enters sludge dryer 2. After heat exchange, the return water is recycled back to heat pump unit 4 for heat exchange again. Case 2: After being heated by heat pump unit 4, the circulating water first enters the heating network system. A branch pipe is led from the heating network water supply pipeline 13 to the sludge dryer. After heat exchange, the return water is connected to the heating network return water pipeline 14 and recycled back to heat pump unit 4 together with the heating network return water for heat exchange again.

[0032] In the sludge dryer 2, wet sludge with a moisture content of 60%-80% is cut into strips by the strip cutter 6 and falls onto the conveyor belt 7 inside the insulated box, where it is evenly distributed. As the sludge moves with the conveyor belt 7, the moisture is carried away by the dry hot air provided by the blower 8. The dried sludge is discharged at the end of the final conveyor belt. The warm and humid air enters the dehumidification chamber, and the cooler 10 converts the moisture carried by the warm and humid air into condensate, which is then discharged from the sludge dryer 2. The dehydrated air enters the heater 10, and 90°C circulating water is used as the inlet water for the heater 10. After being heated, it forms dry hot air, which enters the conveyor belt 7 under the action of the blower 8 to dehydrate the sludge. After low-temperature waste heat drying treatment, the moisture content of the sludge is reduced to 30%, and the calorific value of the dried sludge can reach the level of biomass fuel.
