TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a waste heat recovery technical field especially is related to a steam catapult recovery heat for runner regenerative device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steam catapult is a very complex system engineering, which is composed of take-off system, steam system, homing system, hydraulic system, pre-stress system, lubrication system and control system. After the carrier aircraft is positioned on the deck runway, it is in a static state under the traction of the stress bolt through the rope. The slotted cylinder piston is connected with the carrier aircraft, and the cylinder has a certain initial volume. The storage cylinder is divided into saturated water and dry saturated steam. When the catapult valve is opened, the saturated water vaporizes into dry saturated steam pipeline to enter the slotted cylinder. When the pressure in the cylinder reaches a certain value, the stress bolt breaks, the steam pushes the piston to drive the carrier aircraft to start accelerating movement, until the carrier aircraft reaches the take-off speed on the runway or the piston power stroke, at which time the carrier aircraft is disconnected from the piston and flies into the air to complete the steam catapult. Steam catapult is a device that can use steam pressure to push objects forward, which produces a large amount of hot steam. The steam release process can generate a lot of heat.
[0003] The runner dehumidification technology is a kind of technology that removes moisture in the air by using physical adsorption principle, which is widely used in industrial, air conditioning, pharmaceutical, food processing and other fields. Its basic principle is to rotate the runner to adsorb the moisture in the air to the runner material, and then use the regenerative air to help the runner device recover to its original moisture absorption capacity. Influenced by the high-salt and high-humidity air of the sea, the moisture-proof and dehumidification problem of offshore wind power is directly related to the safe and stable long-term operation of the unit. Through effective dehumidification system, equipment corrosion can be reduced, electrical equipment can be stably operated, the life quality of the crew can be improved, mold breeding can be prevented, and the normal operation of the ship in long-term navigation can be ensured. In addition, dehumidification can also help maintain the balance of temperature and humidity inside the ship, and ensure the safety of the storage environment. Therefore, the dehumidification technology not only can prolong the service life of the ship, but also can improve the environment inside the ship. Dehumidification inside the ship is necessary.
[0004] The runner regenerative device often has the following problems: due to insufficient heat recovery, the temperature of the regenerative air inlet cannot reach the required temperature, thereby reducing the runner dehumidification efficiency. Utility model content
[0005] The utility model aims at providing a device which can reduce the waste of heat, improve the utilization rate of heat, and make the runner regeneration effect good by using waste heat.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:
[0007] A steam catapult heat recovery device for a rotary regeneration device includes a steam catapult device, a heat exchanger 1 disposed on the outside of the steam catapult device, an exhaust valve disposed between the steam catapult device and the heat exchanger 1, a heat exchanger 2 disposed on the outside of the heat exchanger 1, a rotary wheel mounted on the outside of the heat exchanger 2, an electric heater disposed between the rotary wheel and the heat exchanger 2, a regeneration fan mounted on one end of the outer side of the rotary wheel, and a blower mounted on the other end of the outer side of the rotary wheel.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the regeneration fan is connected to the rotor, so that the regeneration air passes through heat exchanger II, electric heater and rotor and is discharged by the regeneration fan. The fan is connected to the rotor and sends the processed air into the ship's cabin.
[0009] Furthermore, heat exchanger one and heat exchanger two are interconnected, and a regeneration air outlet is reserved on the outside of heat exchanger two. The electric heater is placed at the regeneration air outlet in heat exchanger two.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the steam catapult device works in conjunction with heat exchanger one and heat exchanger two to efficiently improve heat utilization.
[0011] Furthermore, the impeller is interconnected with the electric heater, the regenerative fan, and the blower.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric heater provides additional heating for the regenerated air, ensuring that the regenerated air temperature is maintained within the required range.
[0013] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] By fully utilizing the waste heat of the steam catapult, the energy utilization rate is improved. At the same time, the waste heat is used to heat the regenerated air, reducing the use of electricity. The waste heat in the steam catapult exhaust is recovered and used to heat the regenerated air intake. An electric heater is connected to further heat the regenerated air, which can prevent the regenerated air from failing to reach the required temperature, thereby affecting the efficiency of the dehumidification wheel. This greatly improves the fault tolerance of the device. This patent realizes the effective utilization of the waste heat of the steam catapult of an aircraft carrier. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] ReferenceFigure 1 A steam catapult-based heat recovery device for a rotary regeneration unit includes a steam catapult 1, a heat exchanger 3 disposed on the outer side of the steam catapult 1, an exhaust valve 2 disposed between the steam catapult 1 and the heat exchanger 3, a second heat exchanger 4 disposed on the outer side of the heat exchanger 3, a rotary wheel 6 mounted on the outer side of the second heat exchanger 4, an electric heater 5 disposed between the rotary wheel 6 and the second heat exchanger 4, a regeneration fan 7 mounted on one end of the outer side of the rotary wheel 6, and a fan 8 mounted on the other end of the outer side of the rotary wheel 6. Both the first heat exchanger 3 and the second heat exchanger 4 are shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger can effectively recover waste heat from steam, providing a stable and sufficient heat source for the rotor regeneration process, while improving the system's thermal efficiency and stability and reducing energy consumption. The exhaust valve 2 can effectively control the steam flow. The steam ejection device 1 works in conjunction with heat exchanger 3 and heat exchanger 4 to efficiently improve heat utilization. The electric heater 5 provides additional heating for the regenerated air, ensuring that the regenerated air temperature is maintained within the required range. The adsorption medium of the rotor 6 is made of silica gel, whose high hygroscopic properties effectively improve heat recovery efficiency.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, heat exchanger 3 and heat exchanger 4 are connected to each other. A regeneration air outlet is reserved on the outside of heat exchanger 4. Electric heater 5 is placed at the regeneration air outlet in heat exchanger 4. Rotor 6 is connected to electric heater 5, regeneration fan 7 and fan 8.
[0020] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Steam generated by the steam catapult device 1 is discharged through the exhaust valve 2. The exhaust valve 2 can control the steam flow and discharge process. The steam enters the heat exchanger 3 and transfers heat to the heat exchanger 3. In the heat exchanger 3, the steam releases heat through heat exchange with cold water. After being heated, the cold water enters the heat exchanger 4. The heat exchanger 4 further exchanges heat with the regenerated air. After being heated, the regenerated air enters the electric heater 5 and is heated again in the electric heater 5. The regenerated air that reaches the required temperature flows through the rotor 6, carrying away the moisture in the rotor 6. The regenerated air is discharged through the regeneration fan 7. The processed air enters the rotor 6. The dried air is sent into the ship through the fan 8. The adsorption medium of the rotor 6 is made of silica gel. When the processed air passes through the processing area of the rotor 6, the moisture in the air is adsorbed by the silica gel. In the regeneration area, another path of regenerated air is introduced to desorb the moisture in the silica gel medium, so as to achieve the function of continuous dehumidification.
