Fig. 5 is the diagram of another modification of detail map embodiment that Fig. 2 is shown.
Embodiment
With reference to figure 1, system comprises sealed circuit 2, and sealing loop 2 comprises compressor 4, condenser 6, expansion valve 8 and the vaporizer 10 of series connection.Loop 2 has the low voltage side 12 that comprises vaporizer 10, and heat energy is imported in the refrigeration agent thus, material R22 (a kind of single HCFC) for example, and loop 2 also has the high pressure side 14 that comprises condenser 6, and heat energy is discharged from described refrigeration agent thus.The shortcoming of this system is, needs gas phase compressor 4, and this gas phase compressor 4 needs a large amount of power inputs and is bulky and expensive.In the system of the prior art, compressor 4 has increased the pressure of vapor phase refrigerant, vapor phase refrigerant is converted into liquid phase in condenser 6 subsequently, heat energy is released and refrigeration agent arrival expansion valve 8 thus, have cooling effect owing to pressure drop makes 8 pairs of materials of expansion valve, cause material to convert part gas phase and Partial Liquid Phase to this moment.In vaporizer 10, cold liquid substance receives the heat energy from the outside, and this material is supplied to compressor 4 with its gas phase form.Therefore, material under low pressure is transformed into its gas phase and under high pressure is transformed into its liquid phase from its gas phase from its liquid phase.
With reference to figure 2, this system also comprises sealed circuit 20, but this loop 20 comprises condenser combination 22, liquid pump 24, vaporizer 26, superheater 28 and energy-dissipating device 30, and this energy-dissipating device 30 can be turbine, propulsion device, cylinder inner carrier formula drive unit or gas engine.In addition, loop 20 has low voltage side 32 and high pressure side 34, but material is transformed into its gas phase and is transformed into its liquid phase from its gas phase low voltage side 32 from its liquid phase in high pressure side 34.Do not consider loss, the heat input that enters superheater 28 is consumed by device 30, and wherein the material of vapor phase can receive the heat energy of the environment that comes from the outside in superheater 28.Material in loop 20 can be the material of any appropriate, and this material evaporating temperature level is under atmospheric pressure hanged down at least 30 ℃ than the temperature of supplying the outside sources of heat energy to superheater 28.This outside sources can be the air near ground or ocean, lake or river.Preferably, the evaporating temperature level is more much lower than the temperature in described source, for example than low 5 ℃ at least in water, than low 10 ℃ at least of air.The example of this material is R22, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
The advantage of this system is, provides power to have the lower power demand of ratio piston compressor 4 with the liquid pump 24 that drives material wraparound Lu Erhang and is compacter and more cheap corresponding to compressor 4.
With reference to figure 3, illustrate the heat energy that is input in the superheater 28 can come from the outside air or extraneous water, for example from river or ocean.Particularly, superheater 28 can replace the water cooler of the aircondition built, and this building refers in particular to heavy construction, for example the hotel.This figure also illustrates energy-dissipating device 30 can drive generator 38, marine propeller 40, perhaps replaces the motor of vehicle 42.Generator 38 can be used to supply hotel 36, house 44 and/or pump 24.
With reference to figure 4, condenser 22 comprises housing 46, and this housing 46 comprises the absorbent of solid material 48 with capillary properties, for example powdered carbon or coal dust or nanotube.The vaporizer 26 that extends through housing 46 and absorbing agent 48 is forms of volute 50.Therefore condenser 22 and vaporizer 26 are formed the assembly that four entrance and exits are only arranged.The effect of the absorbing agent 48 that contacts with volute 50 is the saturation vapour pressures that reduce the material that enters absorbing agent.In volute 50 inside, produce vapor phase under the pressure that the pressure of existence is higher in than absorbing agent 48.
Usually in thermodynamic cycle, condenser pressure is higher than evaporator pressure, but owing to use absorbing agent 48, condenser pressure is lower than evaporator pressure in system shown in Figure 4.The thermal energy balance that discharges in the vapor condensation process in absorbing agent 48 heat demand of vaporizer 26.The internal surface area of volute 50 is to determine to enter the principal element of the steam mass flow of superheater 28.Superheater 28 with heat energy in described ambient air or water are transferred to material the loop, because the temperature of gaseous substance wherein is lower than external temperature.Superheated vapor is regulated solenoid valve 52 by pressure and is entered turbine 30.Enter condenser 22 with condensation and therefore discharge heat energy from the output steam of turbine 30 with low pressure.Turbine 30 is used to drive generator 38, and this generator 38 can Driven Compressor 54, and the power consumption of this compressor 54 significantly is lower than the generating of turbine 30, for example is 10% to 15% of the power that produces of turbine.Compressor 54 generates the minimum pressure in the loop 20 in liquid storage device 56.Be in housing 46 the bottom be the mobile link 57 that links to each other with the reservoir 56 of liquid condensate.When condensation product left absorbing agent 48, some liquid directly evaporated and form " flash distillation " steam, and these liquid account for about 10% of mass flow rate.Compressor 54 is discharged this " flash distillation " steam from reservoir 56, and converts " flash distillation " steam to liquid condensate via auxiliary condenser 58 and expansion valve 60 and by means of these parts, and this liquid condensate is passed to reservoir 56.Liquid pump 62 is pumped into volute 50 with the condensation product in the reservoir 56 via one-way valve 64.Pump 62 can be gear pump or centrifugal pump.Compressor 54 can mechanically be driven by device 30, is perhaps driven electrically via switch 68 and 70 by generator 38 or external power supply 66.Reduction valve 72 bypasses are in turbine 30 and solenoid valve 52.
Modification shown in Figure 5 is different from the modification of Fig. 4 in many aspects.At first, what secondary circuit 61 replacements of working in the system start-up stage comprised reservoir 56 especially is to comprise vaporizer 74 in the inside of reservoir 56 and form main subcooler, make loop 61 separate with loop 20 fully, thereby make the condensation in self of reservoir 56 of " flash distillation " steam.In addition, pump 62 makes liquid be pumped into volute 50 via the auxiliary subcooler 76 in the reservoir 56, has offset the heating to the liquid of pump 62 pumpings thus.In addition, device 30 has output gear case and line shaft 78.In addition, directly enter the top of housing 46, rather than pass through pipe-line system from the low pressure steams that install 30 outputs.
