Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of energy recovery and utilization, specifically relates to a refrigerating unit waste heat recovery device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of modern industry and commercial refrigeration, refrigerating units play a vital role, and are widely used in food refrigeration, chemical process cooling, medicine storage and many other industries. With the continuous growth of global energy demand and the increasing attention to energy utilization efficiency, the energy consumption and waste heat emission of refrigerating units have gradually become the focus of the industry.
[0003] Currently, refrigerating unit technology is continuously developing, and refrigeration efficiency is gradually improving, but a large amount of waste heat is directly discharged into the atmosphere or wasted through cooling water. According to statistics, in a general industrial refrigeration system, the amount of waste heat discharged can account for 30%-50% of the total input energy. In a traditional air-cooled refrigerating unit, a large amount of heat released when gaseous refrigerant is condensed into liquid by a condenser is directly blown into the surrounding air by a fan, and this part of heat is not effectively utilized, resulting in energy waste.
[0004] Traditional technology often only uses a single heat exchange method or a simple heat exchange structure to process the waste heat discharged by the refrigerating unit. In most cases, only one waste heat utilization is performed, and the energy potential of the waste heat cannot be fully tapped. Only hot water of a single temperature can be produced to directly discharge the waste heat, resulting in a large amount of waste heat resources being wasted and low energy recovery efficiency.
[0005] In the heat exchange process of waste heat air and heat exchange medium, the traditional technology lacks effective means to optimize the flow characteristics of the waste heat air. Due to the absence of a design similar to a spiral blade, the flow of the waste heat air in the heat exchange area is relatively disordered, and uniform flow velocity distribution cannot be guaranteed. This makes the flow velocity of the waste heat air around part of the heat exchange pipes too fast, and the heat cannot be fully exchanged before it flows away; and the flow velocity in some areas is too slow, and air stagnation may occur, forming local heat exchange dead zones. This uneven heat exchange seriously affects the overall heat exchange efficiency, resulting in a significant reduction in waste heat recovery effect.
[0006] Based on this, the utility model designs a refrigerating unit waste heat recovery device to solve the above problems. Utility model content
