The jacket layer 42 has a heat exchange medium channel that communicates with the external heat exchange circuit. In application, the fluid pressure energy is converted into mechanical energy (output by the transmission rod 31) by the stirring blades 34, and the pressure energy lost at the valve / elbow is directly recovered. At the same time, the fin array and the jacket layer 42 are combined to efficiently capture the waste heat of the fluid and reuse the heat energy by utilizing the external heat exchange circuit, so as to simultaneously solve the problems of pressure energy waste and low-temperature waste heat disposal.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The inlet pipe section 2 is equipped with a flow rectifier grid, which is composed of multiple parallel thin plates 201. The spacing between the thin plates 201 gradually increases along the flow direction. In application, the gradually spaced thin plates 201 are designed to optimize the flow field, reduce turbulent vortices, reduce energy loss in the inlet pipe section 2, and improve the subsequent energy conversion efficiency.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 Several stirring blades 34 are equidistantly arranged along the circumferential / axial direction of the transmission rod 31. Several turbulence protrusions 341 are installed on the stirring blades 34, and the turbulence protrusions 341 are distributed on both sides of the stirring blades 34. In application, the equidistant arrangement of the stirring blades 34 in the circumferential / axial direction can improve the uniformity of mechanical energy conversion. At the same time, the turbulence protrusions 341 enhance fluid disturbance and expand the pressure energy capture range to avoid energy recovery dead zones caused by laminar flow.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The transmission rod 31 is connected to an external energy utilization device through a transmission mechanism, which is a gearbox and / or a pulley set. In application, the gearbox / pulley set realizes flexible mechanical energy output, is compatible with external equipment such as generators and pumps, and can improve the flexibility of energy utilization.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fin array consists of multiple heat-conducting fins 41, and corrugated grooves 411 are symmetrically opened on the heat-conducting fins 41.

In application, the standardized design of the medium inlet 421 and the medium outlet 422 can support rapid access to the plant's thermal network (such as heating and preheating systems) and reduce the difficulty of modification.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By using a fluid system to flow fluid into fluid channel 1, the fluid passes through a rectifier grid to reduce turbulence and energy loss. At the same time, the stirring blades 34 convert the fluid pressure energy into mechanical energy to drive the transmission rod 31 to rotate. The transmission rod 31 uses a transmission mechanism to drive an external energy utilization device to achieve the recovery and utilization of fluid pressure energy. Meanwhile, the fin array and jacket layer 42 are combined to efficiently capture the fluid waste heat, and then the external heat exchange circuit is used to realize the reuse of heat energy to achieve the recovery and utilization of fluid waste heat. During this period, the turbulence protrusions 341 enhance fluid disturbance and expand the pressure energy capture range to avoid energy recovery dead zones caused by laminar flow. The corrugated grooves 411 increase the heat exchange area and enhance turbulent heat exchange, which can significantly improve the extraction efficiency of low-temperature waste heat, thereby facilitating the recovery and utilization of fluid pressure energy and waste heat. At the same time, it can solve the problems of insufficient energy recovery and complex equipment in traditional technologies.
