Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating and power generation equipment technology, specifically a composite cogeneration device. Background Technology

[0002] During industrial production, a large amount of medium and low temperature waste heat is directly discharged into the environment, causing serious energy waste. At present, industrial waste heat recovery mainly uses a single heat exchanger or steam generator for simple heat energy conversion, which can only achieve heating or drive simple power generation devices. It cannot perform temperature matching and cascade utilization of waste heat, resulting in a large amount of medium and low temperature waste heat not being fully recovered. Moreover, traditional waste heat recovery systems often can only achieve single-function output (such as heating only or power generation only), which is relatively simple. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite cogeneration unit to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where a large amount of medium and low temperature waste heat is not fully recovered.

A partition is provided inside the fixed tube sheet heat exchanger, which is used to divide the inner cavity of the fixed tube sheet heat exchanger into a generating chamber, a medium-pressure evaporation chamber, a high-pressure evaporation chamber, and a high-pressure absorption chamber.

[0005] The medium-pressure evaporator uses an external heat source to convert the liquid refrigerant discharged from the generating chamber into a gaseous refrigerant. The high-pressure evaporator uses external liquid refrigerant to recover the heat from the medium-pressure evaporator after its use. The turbine generator uses the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the medium-pressure evaporator to generate electricity. The high-pressure absorption chamber uses external lean liquid mixed with the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the ejector to generate heat.

[0006] Preferably, the shell of the high-pressure absorption chamber is provided with a secondary rich liquid inlet, a gaseous refrigerant inlet, and a rich liquid outlet, and the tube box section of the high-pressure absorption chamber is provided with a heat transfer agent inlet and outlet.

[0007] The shell of the high-pressure evaporator is provided with a liquid refrigerant inlet and a gaseous refrigerant outlet, and the tube box section of the high-pressure evaporator is provided with a heat source inlet and outlet.

[0009] The shell of the generating chamber is provided with a rich liquid inlet, a gaseous refrigerant outlet, and a secondary rich liquid outlet, and the tube box section of the generating chamber is provided with a gaseous refrigerant inlet and outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the combined heat and power unit further includes a pressure reducing valve and an expansion valve. The pressure reducing valve is used to reduce the pressure of the rich liquid introduced from the high-pressure absorption chamber into the generating chamber, and the expansion valve is used to reduce the pressure of the liquid refrigerant introduced from the generating chamber into the medium-pressure evaporation chamber.

[0011] Preferably, the generating chamber, the medium-pressure evaporation chamber, the high-pressure evaporation chamber, and the high-pressure absorption chamber are all equipped with liquid distribution components located above the heat exchange tubes.

[0012] Preferably, the partition is cross-shaped and has an insulation layer.

[0013] Preferably, the ejector includes a diffuser tube, a buffer tube, a reducer tube, a mixing chamber, and an inlet chamber connected sequentially from top to bottom. The inlet chamber is provided with a nozzle, a variable diameter section, and a straight section. The straight section is connected to the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant outlet of the high-pressure evaporation chamber, and the diffuser tube is connected to the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant inlet of the high-pressure absorption chamber.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The medium-pressure evaporation chamber uses the recovered heat to heat the liquid refrigerant discharged from the generator chamber, causing it to undergo a phase change and then be used to drive the turbine generator to generate electricity. The high-pressure absorption chamber uses the external lean liquid to mix with the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the ejector for heating, so that the equipment has both power generation and heating functions at the same time. Furthermore, the external heat source is absorbed by the medium-pressure evaporation chamber and the high-pressure evaporation chamber in sequence, so that the heat in the heat source is fully utilized.

[0016] 2. The generating chamber, medium-pressure evaporation chamber, high-pressure evaporation chamber and high-pressure absorption chamber are integrated into a fixed tube sheet heat exchanger.

The shell 1 of the medium-pressure evaporator 7 is provided with a liquid refrigerant inlet and a gaseous refrigerant outlet.

[0029] It should be noted that the liquid distribution assembly 5 is located above the heat exchange tube 3.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] The heat source (the heat source is the gaseous refrigerant generated by the external generator; the heat source that needs to be recovered first enters the external generator to recover part of the heat, and the gaseous refrigerant generated in this process is introduced into the generating chamber 6 as a heat source, while the used heat source is introduced into the medium-pressure evaporation chamber 7 for continued use) enters the heat exchange tube 3 of the generating chamber 6, heats the medium-pressure rich liquid that enters the shell 1 of the generating chamber 6 and is sprayed onto the outer surface of the heat exchange tube 3 through the liquid distribution assembly 5, and causes part of the refrigerant in the medium-pressure rich liquid to be desorbed and become medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant (this medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant can be introduced into the external condenser for circulation and use for refrigeration);

[0032] The medium- and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which serves as a heat source, is absorbed and condensed into a medium- and high-pressure liquid refrigerant in the heat exchange tube 3 of the generating chamber 6. It is then depressurized by the expansion valve 13 to become a medium-pressure liquid refrigerant, which enters the shell 1 of the medium-pressure evaporation chamber 7 and is sprayed onto the outer surface of the heat exchange tube 3 through the liquid distribution assembly 5. It is heated by the heat source (which can come from the heat source after the external generator has been used) and becomes a medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the turbine generator 10 to drive it to work and generate electricity, while it itself becomes medium-pressure exhaust gas.

[0033] The medium- and high-pressure rich liquid that is heated and decomposed in the shell 1 of the generating chamber 6 is discharged after becoming a medium- and high-pressure secondary rich liquid (the medium- and high-pressure secondary rich liquid can provide rich liquid for external generators).

[0034] High-pressure liquid refrigerant from the outside (which can come from an external condenser) enters the shell 1 of the high-pressure evaporation chamber 8 and is sprayed onto the outer surface of the heat exchange tube 3 through the liquid distribution assembly 5. It is heated by the heat source in the heat exchange tube 3 (from the heat exchange tube 3 of the medium-pressure evaporation chamber 7) and becomes high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the ejector 11, which ejects the medium-pressure exhaust gas from the turbine generator 10, and then enters the shell 1 of the high-pressure absorption chamber 9.

[0035] The high-pressure rich liquid from the outside enters the shell 1 of the high-pressure absorption chamber 9 and is sprayed onto the outer surface of the heat exchange tube 3 through the liquid distribution assembly 5. It absorbs the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the ejector 11 and becomes high-pressure rich liquid. The heat released during the absorption process is carried away by the heat transfer medium (the heat transfer medium provides heat from the outside). The high-pressure rich liquid flows out of the shell 1 of the high-pressure absorption chamber 9, is depressurized by the pressure reducing valve 12 and becomes medium-high pressure rich liquid, and then enters the shell 1 of the generating chamber 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 2 The ejector 11 includes a diffuser 111, a buffer tube 112, a reducer 113, a mixing chamber 114, and an inlet chamber 116 connected from top to bottom.

The straight section 118 is connected to the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant outlet of the high-pressure evaporation chamber 8, and the diffuser 111 is connected to the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant inlet of the high-pressure absorption chamber 9.
