TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to compressed air waste heat utilization field, concretely relates to a kind of cold and heat combined supply system using compressed air waste heat. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production process of aluminum-magnesium smelting, a large amount of dry and purified compressed air at normal temperature is usually required, and the exhaust temperature of centrifugal air compressor is about 120 DEG C, so the high-temperature compressed air needs to be cooled and dried and purified. According to the different requirements of process production on the quality of compressed air, the types of dryers in the centrifugal air compressor system are usually as follows: waste heat regeneration compressed air dryer, frozen compressed air dryer and combined compressed air dryer.
[0003] Among them, the waste heat regeneration dryer can effectively utilize the compressed air waste heat while drying and purifying the compressed air. For the centrifugal compressor system with a frozen dryer, the high-temperature compressed air needs to be cooled to below 45 DEG C by water cooling, and then the low-temperature compressed air can enter the dryer for drying and purification. The heat energy exchanged is directly discharged to the atmosphere through the circulating cooling system, resulting in a large loss of heat energy. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a kind of cold and heat combined supply system using compressed air waste heat, which comprehensively recycles and utilizes the compressed air waste heat, generates cold and heat sources for production and life at the same time, reduces carbon dioxide emissions, has the dual significance of energy saving and efficiency improvement, pollution reduction and carbon reduction.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a kind of cold and heat combined supply system using compressed air waste heat, comprising a centrifugal air compressor, the exhaust port of the centrifugal air compressor is connected with the gas-water heat exchanger inlet, the gas-water heat exchanger outlet is connected with the compressed air after-cooler inlet, the compressed air after-cooler outlet is connected with the frozen dryer inlet;The water outlet of the gas-water heat exchanger is connected with the hot water type lithium bromide unit and the heat user respectively, the cold source discharge port of the hot water type lithium bromide unit is connected with the cold user, the water outlet of the heat user and the cold user is connected with the circulating water tank, the circulating water tank is connected with the inlet of the circulating water pump, and the outlet of the circulating water pump is connected with the water inlet of the gas-water heat exchanger.
[0006] The gas-water heat exchanger adopts staggered multi-tube serpentine pipe, and the shell side is a compressed air passage, and the tube side is a circulating water pipeline.
[0007] The heat exchange tube of the gas-water heat exchanger adopts integral spiral finned tube.
[0008] Electric regulating valves are installed between the drain outlet of the gas-water heat exchanger and the hot water type lithium bromide unit, and between the drain outlet of the gas-water heat exchanger and the heat user.
[0009] A bypass pipeline is provided between the centrifugal air compressor and the compressed air aftercooler, and a bypass valve is provided on the bypass pipeline.
[0010] The circulating water pump is a variable frequency pump.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A gas-water heat exchanger is used to exchange heat between high-temperature compressed air and low-temperature circulating water, causing the temperature of the high-temperature compressed air to drop. The compressed air then enters a compressed air aftercooler and a refrigerated dryer to obtain compressed air at room temperature, meeting the requirements of aluminum and magnesium smelting processes. Simultaneously, the low-temperature circulating water temperature rises and is supplied to heat users and hot-water lithium bromide units. The hot-water lithium bromide units use the high-temperature circulating water as a heat source to produce low-temperature chilled water, which is then supplied to cold users, thus achieving combined cooling and heating for production and daily life. Through continuous water recovery and supply via a circulating water tank and pump, a continuous cooling and heating system is achieved. Attached Figure Description
