Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery from air compressors, and in particular to a waste heat recovery and utilization device for air compressors. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, air compressors provide power to various equipment by compressing air. However, the intense friction between air molecules during compression can cause the gas temperature to rise significantly, resulting in the discharged compressed air containing a large amount of heat energy.

[0003] Existing compressed air waste heat recovery technologies mostly employ independent heat exchange devices, introducing compressed air into a dedicated heat exchanger via external pipelines for heat exchange. These devices are typically complex in structure, expensive to manufacture, and require additional installation space, resulting in significant initial investment and maintenance costs. More importantly, traditional technologies focus solely on recovering waste heat from compressed air, neglecting the high-temperature treatment of the air compressor itself. This means the equipment still relies on air-cooling or water-cooling systems for cooling during operation, resulting in limited functionality and overall energy efficiency improvements. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0016] Example: This example provides a waste heat recovery and utilization device for an air compressor. See [link / reference] Figure 1-3 Specifically, it includes a base plate 1, a compressor 11 and a storage tank 12 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1, a heat exchange box 13 installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1, an arc-shaped surface 14 that fits against the outer wall of the compressor 11 on one side of the heat exchange box 13, a heat exchange pipe 2 inside the heat exchange box 13, the heat exchange pipe 2 connecting the compressor 11 and the storage tank 12 respectively, the heat exchange pipe 2 being configured to transfer the heat of the compressed air output by the compressor 11 to the medium inside the heat exchange box 13, the arc-shaped surface 14 forming a heat conduction contact surface by fitting with the outer wall of the compressor 11 through thermally conductive silicone grease, used to simultaneously achieve auxiliary cooling of the compressor 11.

[0017] In this embodiment, the heat exchange box 13 serves as a heat exchange carrier, filled with a heat exchange medium (such as water). The arc-shaped surface 14 is in contact with the outer wall of the compressor 11, conducting the heat generated by the compressor 11 through direct metal-to-metal contact, thus cooling the equipment body. The heat exchange pipe 2 serves as the flow path for compressed air, with its two ends connected to the exhaust port of the compressor 11 and the inlet of the storage tank 12, respectively. As the compressed air flows through the pipe, heat is transferred to the medium inside the heat exchange box 13 through the pipe wall, completing waste heat recovery. With the synergy of dual heat sources, the heat exchange box 13 simultaneously absorbs heat from both the compressor 11 and the compressed air, improving energy recovery efficiency and avoiding the single-function limitation of "only recovering heat from compressed air" in traditional technologies.

[0018] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the heat exchange pipe 2 includes two first connecting pipes 21, two rows of conveying pipes 22 and a second connecting pipe 23 installed in the heat exchange box 13. One end of the first connecting pipe 21 and one end of the second connecting pipe 23 are respectively connected to the two ends of the conveying pipe 22. The other end of the first connecting pipe 21 is connected to the exhaust port of the compressor 11, and the other end of the second connecting pipe 23 is connected to the air inlet of the storage tank 12.

[0019] In this embodiment, compressed air enters the array of delivery pipes 22 through the first connecting pipe 21. During the flow process, it comes into full contact with the heat exchange medium, and the heat is transferred to the medium through the pipe wall. Then, it enters the storage tank 12 through the second connecting pipe 23, thereby realizing waste heat recovery and air precooling.

[0020] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a water outlet pipe 3 is installed on the upper side of one side of the heat exchange box 13, and a water inlet pipe 31 is installed on the lower side of one side of the heat exchange box 13.

[0021] In this embodiment, the low-temperature medium enters from the outlet pipe 3, absorbs the dual heat from the compressor 11 body and the compressed air when it flows through the heat exchange box 13, and is discharged from the inlet pipe 31 after being heated. It can be connected to an external circulation system (such as heating or hot water supply) to realize waste heat utilization.

[0022] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fixing post 4 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1. A bidirectional screw 41 is rotatably provided inside the fixing post 4. Two L-shaped locking blocks 42 are symmetrically provided inside the fixing post 4. The lower end of the locking block 42 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 41. Two concave-shaped fixing blocks 43 are fixedly provided on the lower surface of the heat exchange box 13. The upper end of the locking block 42 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixing block 43.

[0023] In this embodiment, the fixed column 4 serves as a support structure, with a hollow interior to accommodate the bidirectional screw 41 and the locking block 42. When the bidirectional screw 41 rotates, it drives the two locking blocks 42 to move in opposite directions. The forward and reverse thread design allows a single screw to control the synchronous alignment or separation of the two locking blocks 42. The upper end of the L-shaped locking block 42 engages with the concave fixing block 43 at the bottom of the heat exchange box 13, while the lower end is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 41. When the locking block 42 moves, its horizontal portion inserts into the inner wall of the fixing block 43, achieving mechanical locking.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a support plate 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the fixed column 4, and the support plate 5 is attached to the bottom of the heat exchange box 13. The support plate 5 has a flat plate structure, with its top in contact with the bottom of the heat exchange box 13, bearing the weight of the heat exchange box 13 and distributing the pressure.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
