Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lithium bromide generator sets, specifically to a waste heat recovery device for the tail gas of a lithium bromide generator set. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium bromide units include two main categories: lithium bromide absorption chillers and lithium bromide direct-fired chillers. Lithium bromide is composed of two elements: alkali metal lithium and halogen elements. Lithium bromide absorption chillers utilize the strong absorption capacity of lithium bromide solution for water vapor to achieve cooling or heating through absorption and desorption processes. The exhaust gas of lithium bromide units refers to the mixture of gases or vapors emitted from the unit during the operation of lithium bromide absorption chillers or heat pump units.

[0003] To reduce resource waste, staff will perform waste heat recovery operations on the exhaust gas generated by the lithium bromide unit, which requires the use of exhaust gas waste heat recovery devices. However, the exhaust gas of the lithium bromide unit contains some droplets or aerosols, which may adhere to the surface of the heat exchanger, causing localized corrosion of the heat exchanger and thus shortening its service life. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, a waste heat recovery device for lithium bromide generator exhaust gas includes a heat exchanger body 1. The heat exchanger body 1 is a vertical shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Inside, a high-temperature fluid flows within the tubes or shell, releasing heat and lowering its temperature. A low-temperature fluid flows on the other side, absorbing heat and raising its temperature. Simultaneously, heat exchange between the two fluids is achieved through conduction and convection via the tube walls. The device also includes:

[0026] An outlet pipe 2 is connected to the outside of the heat exchanger body 1. The exhaust gas that has completed heat exchange inside the heat exchanger body 1 is transported through the outlet pipe 2. An inlet pipe 3 is connected to the outside of the heat exchanger body 1. The exhaust gas that has been filtered through the inlet pipe 3 enters the interior of the heat exchanger body 1 through the inlet pipe 3 for heat exchange. A connecting pipe 4 is connected to the end of the inlet pipe 3 away from the heat exchanger body 1. The exhaust gas generated by the lithium bromide unit can be filtered through the connecting pipe 4.

[0027] A filter assembly 5 is installed inside the connecting pipe 4. This assembly filters droplets or aerosols in the exhaust gas of the lithium bromide unit during normal operation. The filter assembly 5 includes a filter screen body 51 installed inside the connecting pipe 4. The filter screen body 51 filters and blocks droplets and other substances in the exhaust gas. The filter screen body 51 is made of ceramic fiber. A fixing plate 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter screen body 51, allowing operators to easily pull out and place it. A backflush pipe 53 is installed inside the connecting pipe 4, and a track 54 is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe 4, facilitating the removal and placement of the filter screen body 51.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a PLC controller 6 is installed on the front surface of the connecting pipe 4. The PLC controller 6 can control the differential pressure sensor, delivery pump 9 and solenoid valve in the device. A connecting flange 7 is installed on one side of the connecting pipe 4. The connecting flange 7 facilitates the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the connecting pipe 4 and the air inlet pipe 3. An air storage tank 8 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the connecting pipe 4. The air storage tank 8 can store air. A delivery pump 9 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the connecting pipe 4. The delivery pump 9 can deliver the gas inside the air storage tank 8. The air inlet of the delivery pump 9 is connected to the air storage tank 8. The air outlet of the delivery pump 9 is connected to the delivery pipe 10. The delivery pipe 10 can make the gas reach the location of each backflush head 11. The end of the delivery pipe 10 away from the delivery pump 9 is connected to the outside of the backflush pipe 53.

[0029] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the backflush pipe 53 is connected to a backflush head 11 on the outside. By setting multiple backflush heads 11, air can flow out from the inside of the backflush head 11 under the action of the backflush head 11, thereby performing a backflush operation on the filter screen body 51, so that some of the blocked substances can be removed from the filter screen body 51. The inside of the connecting pipe 4 is provided with a placement groove 12 that is used in conjunction with the filter screen body 51. By setting the placement groove 12, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble and assemble the filter screen body 51.

[0030] A first differential pressure sensor 13 is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the intake pipe 3, and a second differential pressure sensor 14 is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting pipe 4. By setting two differential pressure sensors, both of which are ceramic capacitor differential pressure sensors, the pressure difference between the front and rear positions of the filter body 51 can be detected, thereby detecting the degree of blockage of the filter body 51. A groove 15 is opened inside the connecting pipe 4. By setting the groove 15, the rotating rod 16 can be rotated inside it. The rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected inside the groove 15. A pressure plate 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 16. A spring 18 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 16. By setting the spring 18, the rotating rod 16 can be moved to a designated position under the elastic force of the spring 18. Then, the pressure plate 17 positions the fixing plate 52 to prevent the filter body 51 from falling off. The bottom of the spring 18 is welded to the bottom of the inner cavity of the groove 15.

[0031] Working principle: When the operator performs waste heat recovery work on the exhaust gas generated by the lithium bromide unit using this device, the exhaust gas generated by the lithium bromide unit is first passed through the connecting pipe 4. Under the action of the filter body 51, the liquid droplets and aerosols in the exhaust gas can be filtered, extending the service life of the heat exchanger body 1. At the same time, when the filter body 51 is in use, the pressure difference before and after the filter body 51 can be detected by the first differential pressure sensor 13 and the second differential pressure sensor 14, thereby detecting the degree of blockage of the filter body 51. After the filter body 51 has been used for a period of time, the operator can start the delivery pump 9, so that the air inside the gas storage tank 8 can enter the backflush pipe 53 through the delivery pump 9, and then be discharged through multiple backflush heads 11, thereby performing backflush work on the filter body 51 and reducing the degree of blockage of the filter body 51.
