[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0020] Example 1: A low-grade waste heat ORC power generation system, specifically as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the system includes a heat source 10, which is low-grade waste heat wastewater; a filtration structure, comprising a first filtration section and a second filtration section. The first filtration section includes a liquid filter tank 14 disposed outside the heat source 10, with a slag discharge pipe fixedly installed on the outer wall of the liquid filter tank 14; the second filtration section includes a gas purification tank 26 disposed outside the heat source 10, with an exhaust gas tank 29 disposed outside the gas purification tank 26, and an exhaust pipe fixedly installed between the gas purification tank 26 and the exhaust gas tank 29. The liquid is filtered through the liquid filter tank 14, the gas is filtered through the gas purification tank 26, and the exhaust gas is collected through the exhaust gas tank 29.

[0021] Based on the above, the structure of the heat source 10, liquid filter tank 14, gas purification tank 26, and waste gas tank 29 achieves the purpose of self-filtration of the power generation system, filters and purifies impurities and waste gas in the heat source, improves the quality of the heat source, reduces the situation of heat source clogging the pipes, and improves the durability of the power generation system.

[0022] Example 2: Based on Example 1, specifically as follows... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the heat source 10 has three sets of pipes on its exterior. Each set of pipes has a liquid inlet valve 11, a gas inlet valve 12, and a circulation valve 13 installed on its outer wall. A connecting pipe connects the liquid inlet valve 11 to the liquid filter tank 14, and a connecting pipe connects the gas inlet valve 12 to the gas purification tank 26. Opening the liquid inlet valve 11 delivers liquid to the liquid filter tank 14, and opening the gas inlet valve 12 delivers gas to the gas purification tank 26.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a temperature sensor 15 is installed inside the output pipe of the liquid filter tank 14. A first inlet valve 16 and a second inlet valve 24 are installed on the outer wall of the temperature sensor 15. A storage tank 17 is installed outside the first inlet valve 16. A pipe is fixedly installed between the first inlet valve 16 and the storage tank 17. The second inlet valve 24 is fixedly connected to an external preheater 25. A pipe is fixedly installed between the preheater 25 and the storage tank 17. The temperature sensor 15 detects the liquid temperature. When the temperature reaches the recovery value, the first inlet valve 16 is opened, and the liquid is delivered to the storage tank 17. When the temperature does not reach the recovery value, the second inlet valve 24 is opened, and the liquid is delivered to the preheater 25 for heating. The heated liquid is then delivered to the storage tank 17.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, an evaporator 18 and a screw expander 19 are installed outside the liquid storage tank 17. A generator 20 is installed outside the screw expander 19. Pipes are fixedly installed between the liquid storage tank 17 and the evaporator 18, and between the evaporator 18 and the screw expander 19. The liquid is evaporated by the evaporator 18, releasing the heat energy of the liquid. The screw expander 19 converts the heat energy into electrical energy, which is then output as electrical energy by the generator 20.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a first condenser 21 is externally mounted on the screw expander 19. A pipe is fixedly installed between the screw expander 19 and the first condenser 21. A first cooling pump 22 is installed on the output pipe of the first condenser 21, and a first radiator 23 is fixedly connected to the output pipe of the first condenser 21. The screw expander 19 is condensed through the first condenser 21, and the first cooling pump 22 is turned on to dissipate heat through the first radiator 23.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a second cooling pump 27 is installed on the gas delivery pipe of the gas purification tank 26, and the second cooling pump 27 is connected to the second radiator 28. When the second cooling pump 27 is turned on, heat is dissipated through the second radiator 28.

[0027] Based on the above, the structure of heat source 10, liquid inlet valve 11, gas inlet valve 12, circulation valve 13, temperature sensor 15, first water inlet valve 16, liquid storage tank 17, evaporator 18, screw expander 19, generator 20, first condenser 21, first cooling pump 22, first radiator 23, second water inlet valve 24, preheater 25, second cooling pump 27, and second radiator 28 achieves the purpose of recovering waste heat from gas and liquid for power generation, simplifies the operation steps of the power generation system, improves the convenience of using the power generation system, and reduces the workload of workers.

[0028] Example 3: Based on Examples 1 and 2, specifically as follows... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a heating system 30 is installed outside the heat source 10, and two sets of one-way pipes are fixedly installed between the circulation valve 13 and the heating system 30. When the circulation valve 13 is opened, the heat source is delivered to the interior of the heating system 30, so that the heat source circulates within the heat source 10 and the heating system 30.

[0030] Working principle: The heat source 10 is low-grade waste heat water, and it is equipped with an external filtration structure, including a first filtration section (liquid filter tank 14 is outside the heat source 10, with a slag discharge pipe on the outer wall) and a second filtration section (gas purification tank 26 is outside the heat source 10, with an exhaust gas tank 29 on the outside, and an exhaust pipe between the two). There are three sets of pipes outside the heat source 10, namely a liquid delivery valve 11, a gas delivery valve 12, and a circulation valve 13. There are connecting pipes between the liquid delivery valve 11 and the liquid filter tank 14, and between the gas delivery valve 12 and the gas purification tank 26. Opening the liquid delivery valve 11 delivers liquid to the liquid filter tank 14 for filtration, opening the gas delivery valve 12 delivers gas to the gas purification tank 26 for filtration, and the exhaust gas tank 29 collects the exhaust gas. The liquid filter tank 14 has a temperature sensor 15 in its output pipe, and its outer wall has a first water inlet valve 16 and a second water inlet valve 24. A first inlet valve 16 is connected to a storage tank 17 via a pipe. A second inlet valve 24 is fixedly connected to an external preheater 25, which is also connected to the storage tank 17 via a pipe. A temperature sensor 15 detects the liquid temperature. When the temperature reaches the recovery value, the first inlet valve 16 is opened to send the liquid to the storage tank 17. When the temperature does not reach the recovery value, the second inlet valve 24 is opened to send the liquid to the preheater 25 for heating before sending it to the storage tank 17. An evaporator 18 and a screw expander 19 are located outside the storage tank 17. A generator 20 is located outside the screw expander 19. Pipes connect the storage tank 17 to the evaporator 18 and the evaporator 18 to the screw expander 19. The evaporator 18 evaporates the liquid, releasing heat energy. The screw expander 19 converts the heat energy into electrical energy, which is then output by the generator 20. A first condenser 21 is located outside the screw expander 19, connected to the storage tank 19 via a pipe. A first cooling pump 22 is located on the output pipe of the first condenser 21 and is fixedly connected to a first radiator 23. The first condenser 21 condenses the screw expander 19. The first cooling pump 22 is turned on, dissipating heat through the first radiator 23. A second cooling pump 27 is connected to the second radiator 28 via the gas purification tank 26's gas delivery pipe. The second cooling pump 27 is turned on, dissipating heat through the second radiator 28. A heating system 30 is located outside the heat source 10. Two sets of one-way pipes connect the circulation valve 13 to the heating system 30. Opening the circulation valve 13 delivers the heat source to the heating system 30, allowing the heat source to circulate within both the heat source 10 and the heating system 30.
