Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heating systems for large temperature difference heat exchange units, and in particular to a multi-zone variable temperature combined heating system based on a large temperature difference heat exchange unit. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, northern my country has gradually phased out heat sources with high emissions and low energy efficiency, while restricting the construction of new coal-fired power plant projects. However, with the increase in urban population, the demand from users and the heating load continue to grow, the pressure on the pipeline network is increasing dramatically, and the cost of excavating and laying new pipelines is high. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase heating capacity.
[0003] Large-scale heating networks cover a wide area, and the different building types, ages, and insulation levels lead to significant differences in heat load demand. Therefore, current district heating systems tend to operate with multiple heat sources coupled together, such as coal, gas, and industrial waste heat. However, the supply water temperatures of different heat sources are different, and traditional heat exchangers cannot effectively and economically extract heat from different heat sources under small temperature differences. At the same time, traditional heat exchangers also face the problem that when the primary network return water temperature is high, increasing the heat exchange capacity requires heat exchangers and water pumps with large flow rates, leading to increased operating energy consumption.
[0004] To increase the heating capacity of the pipeline network, reduce the energy consumption and operating costs of the heating system, and adapt to the temperature zones of different heat sources, replacing traditional plate heat exchangers with large temperature difference heat exchange units can basically alleviate the pressure on the pipeline network heating. Large temperature difference heat exchange units can significantly increase the temperature difference between the supply and return water, reduce the circulating water flow, and reduce system energy consumption and costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to increase the heating capacity of the pipeline network, reduce the energy consumption and operating costs of the heating system, and adapt to the temperature of different heat sources. It proposes a multi-zone variable temperature combined heating system based on a large temperature difference heat exchanger unit. This system regulates the heat exchange matching relationship between the primary network water and the absorption-type large temperature difference heat exchange unit through valves and multiple heat exchangers, independently meeting the personalized heating needs of different temperature heat sources, achieving multi-zone variable temperature combined heating based on the large temperature difference heat exchanger unit; overcoming pipeline pressure, increasing the primary network supply and return water temperature, and reducing the primary network water flow rate.

A primary network system consisting of generator 103, plate heat exchanger 106, first primary network heat exchanger 201, second primary network heat exchanger 202, third primary network heat exchanger 203, nth primary network heat exchanger 20n, first valve 401, second valve 402, third valve 403, fourth valve 404, and fifth valve 405; a secondary network system consisting of secondary network inlet pipe B1, first low-temperature zone secondary network outlet pipe B2, second secondary network outlet pipe B3, condenser 102, absorber 105, plate heat exchanger 106, first secondary network heat exchanger 301, second secondary network heat exchanger 302, third secondary network heat exchanger 303, nth secondary network heat exchanger 30n, first valve 401, first butterfly valve 501, second butterfly valve 502, third butterfly valve 503, and nth butterfly valve 50n.
[0009] Large temperature difference heat exchanger unit circulation system: The low-temperature hot water from the primary network enters the generator 103 through the primary network inlet pipe A1 in the low-temperature zone to release heat. It then passes through the plate heat exchanger 106 via the second valve 402, exchanges heat with the secondary network water, and then enters the evaporator 101. The primary network water heats the concentrated solution in the generator 103 to generate steam. The steam enters the condenser 102, is condensed by the secondary network water, and then enters the evaporator 101 through a U-tube to evaporate. It then enters the absorber 105 to be absorbed by the concentrated solution to become a dilute solution. The dilute solution exchanges heat with the concentrated solution from the generator 103 via the solution heat exchanger 104 and then enters the generator 103 to generate circulation. It should be noted that the secondary network is divided by the first valve 401, entering the absorber 105 and the plate heat exchanger 106 respectively.
[0010] Primary network system: Low-temperature primary network water enters generator 103 through the low-temperature zone primary network inlet pipe A1, where it is heated to a dilute solution. A portion is diverted through the second valve 402 to the plate heat exchanger 106 and then to the evaporator 101. Another portion of the low-temperature primary network water is diverted through the third valve 403 to the first primary network heat exchanger 201, where it exchanges heat with the high-temperature zone I primary network inlet pipe C1 before entering the first secondary network heat exchanger 301, where it exchanges heat with the second secondary network outlet pipe B3. The remaining low-temperature primary network water is diverted through the fourth valve 404 to the second primary network heat exchanger 202, where it exchanges heat with... After heat exchange in the primary network inlet pipe C3 of the high-temperature zone II, the water enters the secondary network heat exchanger 302 and then exchanges heat with the secondary network outlet pipe B3. The remaining low-temperature primary network water is diverted through the fifth valve 405 to the third primary network heat exchanger 203 to exchange heat with the primary network inlet pipe C5 of the high-temperature zone III, and then enters the third secondary network heat exchanger 303 for heat exchange. Similarly, the remaining low-temperature zone primary network water is partially diverted in the nth primary network heat exchanger 20n within the dotted frame, exchanges heat with the primary network inlet pipe C7 of the high-temperature zone n, exchanges heat with the secondary network water in the nth secondary network heat exchanger 30n, and finally mixes and enters the evaporator 101.
[0011] Secondary network system: Secondary network water enters through the secondary network inlet pipe B1 and is diverted through the first valve 401, the first butterfly valve 501, the second butterfly valve 502, and the third butterfly valve 503. Part of it enters the absorber 105 to participate in the circulation system of the large temperature difference heat exchanger unit and is supplied through the secondary network outlet pipe B2 of the first low temperature zone; part of it enters the plate heat exchanger 106 for heat exchange; part of it enters the first secondary network heat exchanger 301 to exchange heat with the primary network water in zone I; part of it enters the second secondary network heat exchanger 302 to exchange heat with the primary network water in zone II; part of it enters the third secondary network heat exchanger 303 to exchange heat with the primary network water in zone III; and so on. The remaining secondary network water enters the nth secondary network heat exchanger 30n to exchange heat with the primary network water in zone n; finally, the secondary network water from the plate heat exchanger 106 is mixed with the secondary network water from zones I, II, III, and n and is supplied through the second secondary network outlet pipe B3.
[0012] It should be noted that the zones are divided according to the actual situation, and the primary network hot water temperature within the dotted frame is higher than that of the primary network inlet pipe A1 in the low-temperature zone.
[0013] It should be noted that plate heat exchanger 106 belongs to the circulation system of large temperature difference heat exchange unit; when the primary network temperature is uniform, all heat exchangers within the dotted frame can be closed through valves.
[0014] This invention fully utilizes the heat from the primary heat network to improve energy efficiency and increase the heating capacity of the pipeline network. It separates multiple heat sources for zoned heat exchange, allowing high-grade heat sources to directly exchange heat with the primary network, thus avoiding excessively high temperatures entering the evaporator. The heat sources then exchange heat again with the secondary network, reducing the loss of high-grade heat sources and lowering the energy consumption and operating costs of the heating system. The system operates with multiple heat sources and multiple temperature conditions coupled together, allowing for flexible matching of different users' water supply temperature requirements through valve adjustments, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the heating system.

Any equivalent structure made using the content of this specification and drawings, whether directly or indirectly applied in related technical fields, is similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
