Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a heat pump system, specifically to a dual-effect jet heat pump system with ejectors connected in series. Background Technology

[0002] With economic and social development, the importance of energy conservation is becoming increasingly prominent. However, large amounts of high-temperature wastewater and exhaust gas (low-grade heat energy) generated during industrial development are often directly discharged into the environment without energy recovery, resulting in energy waste and thermal pollution. Heat pumps, as air conditioning or heating devices, have certain technological advantages in the recovery and utilization of industrial waste heat (high-temperature wastewater or exhaust gas), generating significant economic benefits. Compared to traditional heat pumps, jet heat pumps use ejectors instead of compressors, offering advantages such as simple structure, reliable operation, high thermal efficiency, and energy savings. However, jet heat pumps operate using a high-grade heat source as the driving force and supply heat by recovering heat from a low-grade heat source. Due to the large temperature difference between the high and low-grade heat sources, the expansion ratio (mainstream fluid pressure / secondary fluid pressure) and shock wave losses of jet heat pumps are relatively large, affecting ejector efficiency and the overall system COP.

[0021] like Figure 1The present invention discloses a first embodiment of a dual-effect jet heat pump system, comprising a generator 1, a first ejector 2, a second ejector 3, a condenser 4, a liquid storage tank 5, and an evaporator 6. The primary side ports of the generator 1 are connected to a heat source via heat exchange pipes to form a first heat exchange loop. The secondary side outlet of the generator 1 is connected to the main flow inlet of the first ejector 2 via a first working fluid pipe 11. The outlet of the first ejector 2 is connected to the main flow inlet of the second ejector 3 via a second working fluid pipe 21.

The condenser 4 is connected to the storage tank 5 via the fifth working fluid pipeline 41, and the two ports of the secondary side of the condenser 4 are connected to the heating terminal via heat exchange pipelines to form a heating circuit. The storage tank 5 is connected to the secondary inlet of the generator 1 via the sixth working fluid pipeline 51, and the fifth working fluid pipeline 41 is connected to the secondary inlet of the evaporator 6 via the seventh working fluid pipeline 42. The secondary outlet of the evaporator 6 is connected to the secondary inlet of the second ejector 3 via the eighth working fluid pipeline 61, and the two ports of the primary side of the evaporator 6 are connected to the heat source via heat exchange pipelines to form a second heat exchange circuit. The sixth working fluid pipeline 51 is equipped with a working fluid pump 7, and the seventh working fluid pipeline 42 is equipped with a throttling valve 8. For ease of control, control devices are also provided, which are connected to the first ejector 2, the second ejector 3, the working fluid pump 7, and the throttling valve 8 respectively.

[0022] The above configuration constitutes a simple, easy-to-operate, stable, safe, and practical dual-effect jet heat pump system. In practical applications, after the system is started, the fluids in the first heat exchange circuit, the second heat exchange circuit, the heating circuit, and the heat pump circuit circulate separately. The fluids in the first and second heat exchange circuits are high-temperature industrial wastewater or exhaust gas (referred to as high-temperature fluids), the fluid in the heating circuit is water or antifreeze (referred to as heating fluids), and the fluid in the heat pump circuit is refrigerant. The high-temperature fluid transfers heat to the refrigerant in generator 1 and evaporator 6, respectively. The refrigerant transfers heat to the heating fluid in condenser 4, and the heating fluid transfers heat to the heating terminal. The high-pressure refrigerant saturated fluid entering generator 1 absorbs heat and transforms into high-pressure refrigerant vapor. The high-pressure refrigerant vapor is introduced into the first ejector 2 and reacts with the refrigerant from the first ejector. The medium-pressure refrigerant vapor at the outlet of the second ejector 3 mixes with the refrigerant vapor at the outlet of the first ejector 2, which is then introduced into the second ejector 3 and mixed with the low-pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator 6. Part of the medium-pressure refrigerant vapor at the outlet of the second ejector 3 enters the condenser 4, and part of it enters the first ejector 2. The medium-pressure refrigerant vapor entering the condenser 4 releases heat and transforms into a medium-pressure refrigerant saturated liquid. Part of the medium-pressure refrigerant saturated liquid enters the liquid storage tank 5 and is pumped by the working fluid pump 7 to increase its pressure before entering the generator 1. The other part is throttled and depressurized by the throttling valve 8 and becomes a refrigerant gas-liquid two-phase fluid before entering the evaporator 6. The refrigerant gas-liquid two-phase fluid entering the evaporator 6 absorbs heat and transforms into a low-pressure refrigerant vapor, which is then introduced into the second ejector 3. This invention, by setting up a two-stage ejector system (first ejector 2 and second ejector 3) connected in series, reduces the expansion ratio of a single ejector, minimizes internal losses, achieves cascaded energy utilization, and improves ejector efficiency compared to existing jet-type heat pump systems. Furthermore, by using the first-effect ejector (first ejector 2) to guide the outlet fluid of the second-effect ejector (second ejector 3), heat recycling is achieved, improving the overall COP of the system. It should be noted that the heat pump circuit includes a primary heat pump circuit and a secondary heat pump circuit. The primary heat pump circuit is composed of generator 1, first ejector 2, second ejector 3, condenser 4, and liquid storage tank 5 connected sequentially. The secondary heat pump circuit is composed of second ejector 3, condenser 4, and evaporator 6 connected sequentially.

[0023] like Figure 2The second embodiment of the dual-effect jet heat pump system of this utility model differs from the first embodiment in that a heat exchanger 9 is added. The two ports of the primary side of the heat exchanger 9 are connected in series in the second working fluid pipeline 21, and the two ports of the secondary side of the heat exchanger 9 are connected in series in the sixth working fluid pipeline 51. This embodiment utilizes the heat exchanger 9 to preheat the refrigerant entering the generator 1 from the outlet of the first jet 2, reducing the heat exchange temperature difference in the generator 1 and minimizing irreversible losses. In practical applications, to ensure stable system operation, this utility model typically places the working fluid pump 7 on the sixth working fluid pipeline 51 between the heat exchanger 9 and the liquid storage tank 5.

[0024] like Figure 3 The third embodiment of the dual-effect jet heat pump system shown in this utility model differs from the first embodiment in that it also adds a heat exchanger 9. The two ports of the primary side of the heat exchanger 9 are connected in series in the third working fluid pipeline 31, and the two ports of the secondary side of the heat exchanger 9 are connected in series in the sixth working fluid pipeline 51. This embodiment utilizes the heat exchanger 9 to preheat the refrigerant entering the generator 1 from the outlet of the second jet 3, thus reducing the heat exchange temperature difference in the generator 1 and minimizing irreversible losses. In practical applications, to ensure stable system operation, this utility model typically places the working fluid pump 7 on the sixth working fluid pipeline 51 between the heat exchanger 9 and the liquid storage tank 5; and sets the connection point between the fourth working fluid pipeline 32 and the third working fluid pipeline 31 between the heat exchanger 9 and the condenser 4.

[0025] like Figure 4 The fourth embodiment of the dual-effect jet heat pump system shown in this utility model differs from the first embodiment in that it also adds a heat exchanger 9. The two ports of the primary side of the heat exchanger 9 are connected in series in the eighth working fluid pipeline 61, and the two ports of the secondary side of the heat exchanger 9 are connected in series in the seventh working fluid pipeline 42. A throttling valve 8 is installed on the seventh working fluid pipeline 42 between the heat exchanger 9 and the evaporator 6. This embodiment utilizes the heat exchanger 9 to exchange heat between the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporator 6 and the refrigerant entering the throttling valve 8, thereby lowering the refrigerant temperature at the inlet of the throttling valve 8. This prevents vapor from entering the throttling valve and affecting normal operation, thus improving stability and reliability.

Any modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the technical solution of the present utility model without departing from the design concept of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present utility model.
