Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat management, especially relates to a heat recovery energy storage heat management device based on air float centrifugal compressor. BACKGROUND
[0002] Heat management refers to the management and control of the temperature of the total device, discrete components or their environment, and the purpose is to maintain the normal operation of each component or improve its performance or life. The current trend of energy storage devices is to increase battery capacity and improve battery rate, and it is increasingly important to keep the entire device at a suitable working temperature, which makes the heat management requirements of the entire device higher and higher. During the charging and discharging process of the energy storage battery, the battery pack, energy storage converter, battery management device and other equipment will release a large amount of heat, and the cooling temperature seriously affects the performance and reliability of the equipment. The market usually uses the steam compression refrigeration cycle as the basic principle, and uses air cooling or liquid cooling to release this part of heat, plus the energy consumption of the compressor, a large amount of heat will be wasted.
[0003] The heat management device using liquid cooling has relatively strong heat exchange capacity, and the heat exchange temperature difference can be within 3 DEG C, which can significantly improve the service life of the energy storage battery compared with air cooling. The commonly used energy storage container on the market is 3.5MWH or 5MWH, and the required refrigeration capacity is usually less than 100kw. This small cooling capacity mainly uses scroll compressors. Scroll compressors need oil lubrication, which reduces the reliability of the device; the bearing usually uses a contact bearing, which reduces the service life of the device; the volume is relatively large, which is not conducive to increasing the battery capacity in limited space. These are the shortcomings of scroll compressors.
[0004] The existing energy storage heat management device does not recycle the excess condensing waste heat, which causes energy waste. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

In an embodiment of the utility model, the refrigeration circuit further comprises a supplementary gas pressure sensor, which is arranged between the gas-bearing centrifugal compressor and the economizer and is used to detect the pressure of the refrigerant entering the gas inlet of the gas-bearing centrifugal compressor. In an embodiment of the utility model, the fan 104 in the refrigeration circuit can be a high-power high-voltage brushless direct-current electronic fan, which has high back pressure, large air volume, long service life and does not need maintenance, and the protection level can reach IP68. In an embodiment of the utility model, the throttling element can be an electronic expansion valve.
[0066] In the refrigeration circuit, the gas-bearing centrifugal compressor 101 is the main power component of the circuit, the low-temperature and low-pressure superheated refrigerant vapor from the evaporator 202 is converted into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor through the gas-bearing centrifugal compressor 101, and then flows into the condenser 103, the refrigerant is condensed into high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled refrigerant liquid by forced convection of the fan 104, and then passes through the liquid accumulator 105 and the throttling element, the refrigerant becomes low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase state, and then enters the evaporator 202 to complete the evaporation process, and finally returns to the gas-bearing centrifugal compressor 101 to complete the cycle of the circuit.
[0067] AsFigure 1 As shown, in the cooling liquid circuit, the second output end of the evaporator 202 is connected with the input end of the PTC heater 203, the output end of the PTC heater 203 is connected with the input end of the battery pack 204, the outlet water pressure sensor 208 and the outlet water temperature sensor 209 are arranged between the output end of the PTC heater 203 and the input end of the battery pack 204, and are used for detecting the pressure and the temperature of the cooling liquid output from the PTC heater 203; the output end of the battery pack 204 is connected with the input end of the cooling water pump 201, the output end of the cooling water pump 201 is connected with the second input end of the evaporator 202, the expansion water tank 205 is arranged between the second output end of the evaporator 202 and the output end of the battery pack, and the return water pressure sensor 206 and the return water temperature sensor 207 are arranged between the output end of the battery pack 204 and the input end of the cooling water pump 201, and are used for detecting the pressure and the temperature of the cooling liquid input into the cooling water pump 201. In an embodiment of the utility model, the cooling water pump in the cooling liquid circuit can be a high-pressure shield electronic water pump, which is small in size, high in efficiency, long in service life, maintenance-free, stable in output flow and safe and reliable in use. The expansion water tank 205 mainly functions to ensure that the cooling liquid pipeline can keep the water pressure constant, and plays a buffering role when the cooling liquid volume in the device changes when the ambient temperature is too high or too low.
[0068] In the cooling liquid circuit, the cooling water pump 201 is the main power component of the circuit, the high-temperature cooling liquid returned from the battery pack 204 is converted into low-temperature cooling liquid through the evaporator 202 and the refrigerant heat exchange, and finally returns to the battery pack 204, so as to provide the necessary cold energy for the battery pack 204 to maintain the appropriate working temperature. The PTC heater is also arranged in the circuit, which is simple in structure, can provide heat for the battery pack in winter cold weather, and can avoid freezing of the cooling liquid.
[0069] As Figure 1As shown, in the heat recovery circuit, the output end of the heat recovery water pump 301 is connected to the input end of the heat storage water tank 304, the output end of the heat storage water tank 304 is connected to the input end of the user side 303, the output end of the user side 303 is connected to the second input end of the heat recovery plate heat exchanger 302, and the second output end of the heat recovery plate heat exchanger 302 is connected to the input end of the heat recovery water pump 301. The heat recovery outlet water temperature sensor 305 is arranged between the second output end of the heat recovery plate heat exchanger 302 and the input end of the heat recovery water pump 301, and is used to detect the temperature of the liquid output by the heat recovery plate heat exchanger 302; the heat recovery return water temperature sensor 306 is arranged between the output end of the user side 303 and the second input end of the heat recovery plate heat exchanger 302, and is used to detect the temperature of the liquid input into the heat recovery plate heat exchanger 302.

[0070] In the heat recovery circuit, the heat recovery water pump 301 is the main power component of the circuit, and when the user side 303 needs hot water, the refrigerant circulation opens the electric three-way valve 102, and the bypass refrigerant directly flows through the heat recovery plate heat exchanger 302. The cold water of the user side 303 is heat exchanged with the high-temperature refrigerant through the heat recovery plate heat exchanger 302, and is converted into hot water and stored in the heat storage water tank 304.

[0071] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 The gas floating centrifugal compression 101 comprises: an air inlet 1, a low-pressure pressure shell 2, an inter-stage air supplement port 3, a high-low pressure connecting pipe 4, a high-pressure pressure shell 5, an air outlet 6, a low-pressure impeller 7, a low-pressure locking nut 8, a low-pressure wheel cover seal 9, a low-pressure end cover 10, a motor shell 11, a motor stator 12, a motor rotor 13, a high-pressure end cover 14, a high-pressure wheel cover seal 15, a high-pressure impeller 16, a high-pressure locking nut 17, a high-pressure side radial bearing 18, a low-pressure side radial bearing 19, a high-pressure side thrust bearing 20, a thrust disc 21, and a low-pressure side thrust bearing 22.
[0072] The gas floating centrifugal compression 101 comprises a motor, and the motor comprises a motor shell and a motor rotor. As shown in Figure 3As shown, the motor rotor is equipped with high-pressure radial bearings and low-pressure radial bearings. A thrust disc is located at the end of the motor rotor, and thrust bearings are located on one or both sides of the thrust disc. The motor housing has a first chamber and a second chamber at its two ends. Both the high-pressure and low-pressure radial bearings are air-bearing bearings. The inlet of the first chamber is connected to the inlet of the compressor; in other words, the inlet is the inlet of the first chamber. A low-pressure impeller is located in the first chamber and fixed to the first end of the motor rotor. A high-low pressure connecting pipe is provided between the first and second chambers. Gas compressed by the low-pressure impeller flows out of the outlet of the first chamber, enters the high-low pressure connecting pipe, and then enters the second chamber through the inlet of the second chamber. A high-pressure impeller is installed in the second chamber, fixed to the second end of the motor rotor. Most of the gas compressed by the high-pressure impeller flows out from the outlet of the second chamber. The outlet of the second chamber is connected to the exhaust port of the compressor; in other words, the exhaust port is the outlet of the second chamber. Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a low-pressure end cover and a high-pressure end cover are respectively provided at the air outlet of the first chamber and the second chamber. There is a gap between the low-pressure end cover and the high-pressure end cover and the motor rotor. At the same time, there is a certain gap between the low-pressure end cover and the low-pressure impeller. The gas flowing through the air bearing can return to the main air circuit through this gap. There is also a certain gap between the high-pressure end cover and the high-pressure impeller. A part of the gas compressed by the high-pressure impeller can enter the air bearing through this gap under pressure.
[0073] The mechanism of the air-float centrifugal compressor 101 in refrigeration mode is as follows: Low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator enters the compressor through the inlet, is compressed by the low-pressure impeller, and enters the low-pressure casing. Then, it passes through the high-low pressure connecting pipe to the high-pressure impeller for further compression and enters the high-pressure casing. Finally, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas is discharged into the condenser through the exhaust port. The high-low pressure connecting pipe is equipped with an interstage gas inlet, which can connect to external exhaust gas to cool the exhaust gas from the low-pressure impeller, reducing the compression power consumption of the high-pressure impeller and thus improving the efficiency of the unit.
[0074] Both high-pressure and low-pressure impellers are closed impellers. Compared to open impellers, this eliminates the secondary flow from the pressure surface to the suction surface of the blades caused by tip clearance, effectively improving the compressor's aerodynamic efficiency. Furthermore, both high-pressure and low-pressure impellers have sealing structures on their impeller covers, which significantly reduces the backflow effect from the impeller outlet to the inlet, further improving compressor efficiency.
[0075] The high-pressure impeller and the low-pressure impeller adopt a back-to-back design, with the axial thrust directions of the impellers on the high and low pressure sides being opposite and canceling each other out. This effectively reduces the axial thrust on the thrust bearing. The thrust bearing position is as follows: Figure 4As shown, there are two thrust bearings on both sides of the thrust disc, which can further bear the axial thrust directed to the low-pressure side or the high-pressure side.
[0076] When the motor rotating shaft rotates, the low-pressure side radial bearing and the high-pressure side radial bearing suck in refrigerant gas to form a gas film to support the high-speed rotation of the rotor, and the motor rotating shaft is not in contact with the bearing, so that the bearing is almost not worn, and mechanical loss and noise are very small. Figure 3 As shown, the bearing gas supply is realized by internal circulation: the exhaust gas of the high-pressure impeller passes through the gap between the high-pressure impeller and the high-pressure end cover, then enters the high-pressure side radial bearing through the gap between the high-pressure end cover and the rotating shaft, then enters the low-pressure side radial bearing through the air gap between the motor stator and the motor rotor, and then passes through the gap between the thrust disc and the motor housing and the gap between the thrust disc and the low-pressure end cover in sequence to pass through the two thrust bearings in sequence, and finally passes through the gap between the low-pressure end cover and the rotating shaft, the gap between the low-pressure impeller and the low-pressure end cover into the low-pressure impeller exhaust port, back to the main gas path, and then through the low-pressure shell, the high-low pressure connecting pipe and the high-pressure impeller to realize internal circulation.
[0077] The gas bearing centrifugal compressor of the utility model adopts a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor, and since the air bearing is a non-contact bearing during operation, it can bear a higher rotating speed than a general bearing.
[0078] The gas bearing centrifugal compressor used in the utility model has high reliability without oil return, and the bearing and the motor are not in physical contact during operation, so that there is no friction and the service life is long.

Figure 5As shown, the heat recovery energy storage thermal management device based on the air floating centrifugal compressor is integrally controlled by a central control module (CCU, Central Control Unit).
