Detailed Implementation

[0015] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a clear and complete description of this utility model will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 The system illustrates a UPS room heat recovery system, comprising: a UPS room, a heat exchanger 2, a water storage tank 3, and a heat pump unit 4. The exhaust vent of the UPS room is connected to the air inlet of the heat exchanger 2 via an exhaust pipe 1-1, guiding hot air from the UPS room into the exhaust pipe 1-1, which then flows into the heat exchanger 2 for heat exchange. The exhaust pipe 1-1 is equipped with a first air distribution pipe 1-2, which connects to a drying chamber 6 within the plant 5, for drying equipment or processes required in production. Furthermore, the exhaust pipe also includes a second air distribution pipe 1-6, equipped with an exhaust fan 9, which discharges hot air when the heat exchanger 2 and drying chamber 6 are not in use, preventing excessive temperature in the UPS room.

[0017] To facilitate control of the hot air flow, ventilation valves 2-1 are provided on the air distribution pipe 1-2, the air distribution pipe 1-6, and the exhaust pipe located behind the air distribution pipe 1-2. In actual production, the corresponding ventilation valves 2-1 can be opened and closed as needed.

[0018] The air inlet of heat exchanger 2 is connected to the exhaust pipe 1-1, and the air outlet is discharged to the atmosphere or a gas processing device. The water inlet is used to connect to cold water, and the water outlet is connected to the water inlet of the water storage tank 3 through pipe 1-8. The water and the gas discharged between the UPS undergo heat convection and heat conduction heat exchange in the heat exchanger 2, thereby heating the cold water to 30-40℃ to form low-temperature water. In this embodiment, two sets of heat exchangers 2 are arranged in parallel. The exhaust pipe 1-1 is provided with a vent pipe 1-7. The exhaust pipe 1-1 is connected to the air inlet of one of the heat exchangers 2, and the vent pipe 1-7 is connected to the air inlet of the other heat exchanger 2. The water outlets of both heat exchangers 2 are connected to the pipe 1-8 and are connected to the water inlet of the water storage tank 3 through the pipe 1-8. Vent valve 2-2 is provided on the vent pipe 1-7 and the exhaust pipe 1-1 located behind the vent pipe 1-7.

[0019] In use, the vent valves 2-2 on both the air distribution pipe 1-7 and the exhaust pipe 1-1 can be opened simultaneously, allowing both heat exchangers 2 to operate concurrently and accelerate heat exchange efficiency. Alternatively, either vent valve 2-2 can be opened to operate only one heat exchanger 2. This is useful when a heat exchanger 2 is damaged or under repair, ensuring uninterrupted production of low-temperature water. In this embodiment, pressure gauges 3-4 are installed on the air inlet, air outlet, water inlet, and water outlet of the heat exchanger 2 for monitoring and controlling pressure. Valves are installed on the water inlet and air outlet.

[0020] Low-temperature water is stored in the water storage tank 3, making the heat supply more flexible and stable. The outlet of the water storage tank 3 is connected to the inlet of the heat pump unit 4 through a drain pipe 1-3, and a branch pipe 1-4 is provided on the drain pipe 1-3. The branch pipe 1-4 is connected to the water supply pipe group 7 in the plant 5, which is used to provide domestic water, such as for hand washing and car washing. Furthermore, a control valve 2-4 and a power pump 3-2 are provided on the branch pipe 1-4 and the drain pipe 1-3 located behind the branch pipe 1-4, respectively. When heating is not required, the control valve 2-4 on the drain pipe 1-3 is closed, and all the low-temperature water is used to provide domestic water.

[0021] The outlet of the heat pump unit 4 is connected to the inlet of the heating pipe assembly 8 in the factory building 5, and the return outlet of the heating pipe assembly 8 is connected to the inlet of the water storage tank 3 through the return pipe 1-5. The heat pump unit 4 heats the low-temperature water to a high-temperature water of 70-85℃, and the heating temperature is controlled by adjusting the efficiency of the heat pump unit 4. The high-temperature water flows into the heating pipe assembly 8 in the factory building 5 to provide heating for the factory building 5. The return water from the heating pipe assembly 8 flows into the water storage tank 3 through the return pipe 1-5, forming a water recycling system. Furthermore, the pipe 1-8 connecting the outlet of the heat pump unit 4 to the inlet of the heating pipe assembly 8 in the factory building 5 is equipped with a control valve 2-5 and a power pump 3-3.

[0022] To prevent contamination of the water in the storage tank 3 by stains in the return water, this system also includes a filter 10. The return water pipe 1-5 of the heating pipe assembly 8 is connected to the inlet of the filter 10, and the outlet of the filter 10 is connected to the inlet of the storage tank 3 through the outlet pipe 1-9. The filter 10 is equipped with a drain pipe 1-10 to discharge stains. Furthermore, both the return water pipe 1-5 and the outlet pipe 1-9 are equipped with a control valve 2-3, and the outlet pipe 1-9 is also equipped with a power pump 3-1.

[0023] All control valves involved in this system can be solenoid valves, and all power pumps can be water pumps. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs. It can be controlled by electrical means, etc., without the need for on-site operation by personnel. This is a common technical means in the electromechanical field, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0024] This system organically integrates multiple functional modules such as heat exchange, heat storage, and distribution, with a reasonable structure. It realizes the recovery and utilization of heat generated between UPS units, improves the overall energy utilization efficiency, and has good versatility.

Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
