The statement of concession power
The approval number that the present invention is issued by little company of the National Science Foundation innovation item of U.S. government is 1113100 fund assistance.U.S. government has certain right in the present invention.
Background technology
Heating in building and cooling can be at more than 20% of american energy total amount consumed.Vehicle air conditioning has also consumed the part transport fuel.In addition, in process industrial, be especially in chemical industry and power generation industries, also need material is carried out heating and cooling.Along with the rising of energy prices, the hope that drives the heating and cooling system with solar thermal energy becomes more and more stronger.Maximum in the demand to air-conditioning, in the summer of the sweltering heat that network load peaks, solar energy is just in time very abundant.Solar water heater be applied in many places, comprise south of europe and SOUTHERN CHINA, just in develop rapidly.In the summer of sweltering heat, the heat that solar water heater provides is often superfluous.The heat of this surplus being used for driving air-conditioning in such,, to meet the high demand of this moment to cooling, is the good scheme of suiting measures to differing conditions in terms of time.
Yet heat pump (TAHP) system that the heat of present state-of-the-art lithium bromide (LiBr) water absorption type drives can not be suitable for house and coml is cooling for warming up because it make water as cold-producing medium, salting liquid as absorbent.The vapour pressure of water is very low, and the heating and cooling system in any living space must be at a quite high vacuumizing while making water as working medium (cold-producing medium), and this makes this systems bulky.In addition, lithium bromide is a kind of salt, and it has corrosivity, if operating condition is well controlled, may not freeze.This means that these TAHP systems need the experienced operator to operate.In addition, lithium bromide-water absorption system is not suitable for the heating during lower than the solidification point of water when environment temperature, because at 0 ℃ of lower water, can freeze.Therefore, lithium bromide-water sorption type heat pump is commonly called " the cooling machine of lithium bromide ", and namely they are used to be only applicable to cooling.Lithium bromide-water absorption system need to, greater than the heat of 88 ℃,, to avoid the problem of freezing, therefore can not drive with general solar water heater usually.
The heating Energy Efficiency Ratio of TAHP (heating COP) is greater than 1, and the heating COP of traditional combustion gas or oil burner is less than 1.The heating COP of a good single-action TAHP in theory can be greater than 1.7, and the TAHP of economic benefits and social benefits in theory has a higher heating COP.Therefore, can reduce more than 40% with the needed heat energy of TAHP system heating of a single-action.The energy-saving effect of the TAHP system of economic benefits and social benefits can be more remarkable.Because heating energy consumption is huge, the TAHP that is used for space heating is very attractive.
Regrettably, after years of researches and development, the higher technology of the thermal efficiency of this goose hangs high is not also by commercialization.Some reasons are the TAHP technology in default of a safety and efficiently.The TAHP system that present lithium bromide-water absorbs or it is derivative uses pure water as working medium.When they can not be used to need most, namely the space heating when environment temperature is near or below 0 ℃, icing because water is understood under 0 ℃.
Theoretically, ammonia can be used for the heat pump of vapor compression heat pump and heat driving as working medium.Yet one of problem of ammonia is that its tool is highly toxic, is not therefore to be applicable to house and vehicle.In order to alleviate the problem of toxicity, the secondary loop is necessary.This has increased the cost of system.In addition, the heat of the absorption of ammonia in water is the latent heat of vaporization that is far longer than ammonia.The heat exchange duty that these needs are larger is used for heavily boiling at the cooling and destilling tower of the absorption process of ammonia absorption heat pump.This means the cost of a very large heat exchanger and the larger heat energy degradation in heat exchanger.This increased again conversely TAHP cost, reduced its COP value.Even use so-called GAX system, it adopts the heat of emitting in more effective absorption process to be used for the method for separated, the single-action of ammonia-aqueous systems heating COP is still only approximately 1.6, or about 0.6 cooling COP, significantly lower than 0.75 the COP value of being about of lithium bromide absorption system.Ammonia also has other problems, comprises it to copper and these two corrosivity for the manufacture of the optimal material of heat exchanger of aluminium, and needs very clean heating surface without oil etc.These problems have greatly limited the application of the heat pump that ammonia drives as the heat of the heating of working medium and idle call.
Murphy and Phillips have proposed one and have used CClF 2CHClF is working medium, and with the ETFE(ethyl tetrahydrofurfuryl ether, a kind of high boiling molecular weight is 130 organic oxygen-containing compound), heat driving type heat pump as solvent (is seen Kevin P.Murphy and Benjamin A.Phillips, " DEVELOPMENT OF ARESIDENTIAL GAS-ABSORPTION HEAT PUMP ", submitted for presentation at the18th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference August21-26,1983, Orlando, Florida).Such system does not have freezing of lithium-bromide absorption-type refrigerating machine and ammonia absorption heat pump, some shortcomings of corrosion and toxicity aspect.Based on the development to them, Murphy and Phillips estimate that its cooling COP is 0.65, heating COP is 1.50.Yet such process is also by commercialization, and wherein in part because of them, having adopted viscosity and the higher solvent of thermal capacity and used is not best heat-exchange system.In addition, working fluid, CClF 2CHClF, have the ability of destroying ozone, is therefore worthless.
Therefore, be improved the demand of efficiency in the heating and cooling field.This is using the TAHP heating, greatly reduces thereby replace fuel burning heater and resistance heater the energy consumption aspect that is used for heating, thereby and with the hot of solar water heater or from the heat of the cooling water of vehicle motor, freezing and greatly reducing especially outstanding for aspect cooling energy consumption.The present invention is by the pressure charging system of the gaseous working medium that a kind of heat is provided drives, i.e. booster that heat drives, and at aspects such as TAHP, should be used for meeting such unsatisfied demand.Such system also can be used for generating with the heat of low energy position.

(mole) liquid.
Fig. 1 has shown an example according to a single-effective absorption heat pump embodiment of the present invention.In this process, the low pressure working fluid stream (306) and the low pressure liquid absorbent (314) that are essentially gaseous state are sent to absorber (31), obtain liquid solution (308).Consequent rich working medium solution or weak solution (308) are transported to a pump (32) to obtain solution (309) a little less than high pressure, are divided into again subsequently a main flow (310) and time flow (312).Weak solution main flow (310), be generally 80-99%(mole) weak solution, basically be heated and part vapour in the heat exchanger of adverse current (33), consequent high-pressure two-phase logistics (311) is transported to the entrance in the centre position that is positioned at described generator (34).And the weak solution of high pressure time stream (312) is generally
Figure BDA0000371228820000133
(mole), be not heated a higher entrance that just is sent to described generator (34).Described generator (34) is a destilling tower, liquid (313), the i.e. absorbent of poor working medium component at the bottom of generation high-pressure working medium steam (301) and tower.
The high-pressure working medium steam (301) of tower top is condensed in condenser (35), releases heat.This condensate liquid is divided into two material flow: get back to the backflow (315) at generator top, and carry out overcooled remainder (303) in the heat exchanger that is essentially adverse current or subcooler (30).The backflow of this system (315) is the very little part in condenser working medium stream out, usually less than 10%(mole).Offer the heat Q of the bottom section of generator (34) GIt is the reboiling heat that is used to provide destilling tower.This heat exchange can be carried out in inside or the outside of generator.
Basically the working medium of condensation (303), by all the low pressure working fluids of gasification streams (305a) are namely roughly cooling in counterflow heat exchanger at subcooler (30) basically in evaporimeter (13).Resulting overcooled working medium (304) is in choke valve (12) step-down.Produced thus temperature lower two phase flow (305).This temperature lower two phase flow (305) heat in evaporimeter (13) and basically be evaporated.Outside heat (110) is used for evaporation this two phase flow (305).This outside heat can be to obtain from environment when system is used to heat; , when system is used to may come from room air or process flow (110) when cooling, produce the material flow (112) under lower temperature.The temperature of the material flow at lower temperature (112) is lower than 303 temperature.Substantially fully the working medium (305a) of vaporization further heats and basically is gasified totally in subcooler (30).Then, the low pressure gaseous working medium (306) of consequent gasification is basically absorbed by vapor (314) in absorber (31), release heat (Q at the temperature of the temperature higher than material flow 112 b).The removal of this heat, can carry out in the one or more heat exchangers in absorber.
High pressure absorbent (313) is cooling in the heat exchanger of adverse current (33) roughly, and step-down in choke valve (36),, to produce low pressure absorbent (314), absorbs in absorber (31).
The heat exchange scheme of the uniqueness in this technique makes efficiency obviously improve.Because the pressure in lithium bromide refrigerator is very low, at least some special according to an embodiment of the invention hot swapping schemes of the inapplicable employing of lithium bromide refrigerator.
For the simplification system, the backflow (315) at the top of described generator (34) can be taken away.This moment, time stream (312) was transported to the top of the generator (34) that backflow gets back to usually.In this case, working medium (301) can contain some a small amount of solvents.In order to alleviate this situation, allow to comprise some liquid from evaporimeter (13) working medium (305) out, usually exist (mole) in scope.We find when using the subcooler of adverse current (30) basically to be used for the working medium (303) of cooling condensation basically, and to from condenser out be further vaporization and when heating of the working medium 305a of steam basically, the remaining liq in all working medium (305a) all can evaporate in subcooler (30) basically.From our analog study, we are surprised to find, and such simplification not only can not cause decrease in efficiency, and on the contrary, cooling COP value increases approximately 1%.Therefore, we think that this is a preferred embodiment.
Embodiments of the invention also comprise the heat pump of economic benefits and social benefits or multiple-effect and their application.
Fig. 2 has demonstrated an example of a double effect system.This technique and show that in Fig. 1 the difference between technique is as follows:
Be divided into two strands from pump (55) highly pressurised liquid solution out.Process flow (409) be depressured in choke valve (67) than the pressure of the solution (408) of pump (55) upstream high at middle pressure.The middle pressure solution liquid of gained is further divided into major part (410) and less important part (412).The major part (410) that is essentially the middle pressure solution liquid in the middle pressure heat exchanger (56) of adverse current is heated and the part vaporization, and the middle pressure two-phase flow (411) that obtains is sent to charging aperture under middle pressure generator (57).Middle pressure solution liquid time stream (412) is directly sent into the upper feeding mouth of middle pressure generator (57).Middle pressure generator (57) top produces the middle pressure working medium stream (431) that is essentially gas.From bottom also produce contain working medium few pressure absorbent (413).Then press absorbent (413) cooling in the middle pressure subcooler (56) that is basically a contra-flow heat exchanger in.What obtain excessively cold contains the further step-down in choke valve (59) of the few middle press liquid of working medium.
At first basically be heated the high pressure heat exchanger of adverse current (68) from pump (55) high-pressure solution (420) out.Take out effluent (422) from heat exchanger (68), and deliver to the top charging aperture of high pressure generator (69).The remainder of highly pressurised liquid solution roughly is being further heated and the part vaporization in the high pressure heat exchanger of adverse current (68).Resulting high-pressure two-phase flows (421), is sent to the lower end charging aperture of high pressure generator (69).High pressure generator (69) in bottom or lower position heated by heat Qg.It is the high steam stream (423) of working medium basically that high pressure generator (69) produces from top, and contains the few absorbent of working medium amount (425) from the bottom output.
The steam flow of high pressure tower top (423) is in reboiler/condensor (60) condensation of the bottom section that is arranged in medium pressure column (57).The consequent cold high pressure condensate of pure working medium basically is divided into two strands: be sent back to the backflow (433) at high pressure generator (69) top, remaining part can the subcooler (61) in middle pressure generator (57) in by further supercooling.Cross cold high-pressure working medium and then, in choke valve 62 step-downs, produce one two phase flow, mix with the refrigerant vapor (431) that comes from middle pressure generator (57) top subsequently.
By medium pressure column top refrigerant vapor out and the two phase flow of coming from valve (62) mixed form pressure refrigerant vapor (401) be sent to condenser (68), emit heat.Consequent working medium condensate liquid is divided into two strands: the backflow (432) that is sent back to middle pressure generator (57) top be sent to the further excessively cold liquid working substance (403) of middle pressure subcooler (50) that is essentially contra-flow heat exchanger.
The absorbent stream (425) that produces from high pressure generator (69) the hp heat exchanger of adverse current (68) basically by excessively cold.With the cold absorbent stream of the mistake of gained (426) at first in choke valve (63) step-down.The low pressure absorbent stream (427) of gained, mix with the low pressure absorbent stream (428) that forms at choke valve (59) thus, then is sent to absorber (54) and reuses.
The remainder of this flow process and the flow process in Fig. 1 are as good as.
Similarly, the backflow of high and medium voltage generator (433) and (432) also can be taken away, and inferior incoming flow (422) and (412) are delivered to respectively height, the top of middle pressure generator.In this case, the working medium at generator top stream (431) and (423) will contain some solvents, usually in the scope of 10ppm to 5%.In this case, the working medium stream 305a that leaves evaporimeter (53) preferably contains 0.1-5%(mole) liquid, then allow it in subcooler (50) evaporation fully basically.
In this article, those skilled in the art can easily know, system and technique can be used for heating or space or the process-stream of a cooling sealing according to an embodiment of the invention, as the process flow in interior of building or vehicle or industrial process.When this type systematic is used for when cooling, what remove in evaporimeter is the heat of confined space or process-stream, and the heat of condenser and absorber is discharged in environment.When being used for heating system, evaporimeter absorbs heat from environment, and condenser and absorber provide heat for confined space or process stream.Also can cause this type systematic to use same system along with the variation in season, such as the function by conversion condenser and evaporimeter be used for warming and cooling in summer.
For the global warming potential (GWP) that reduces working medium, and still keep the incombustibility of working medium, in a preferred embodiment, working medium can comprise one or more organic principles, as R134a, and CF 3I, dimethyl formamide, or the compound of HFO1234yf.Dimethyl ether is due to its good macroscopic property, and cost is low, and is nontoxic, low GWP character, and the boiling point of a slightly high R134a is than the selected example of doing.Mixing of R134a makes working medium nonflammable.Because the boiling point of two components is very approaching, the behavior of this mixture is the spitting image of azeotropic mixture.CF 3The GWP value of I is 1.Therefore, CF 3In the mixture of I and dimethyl ether, the low-down global warming value GWP that dives is arranged.On the other hand, although it consumes ozone latent energy value very little (less than 0.008, likely less than 0.0001), CF 3The mixture of I and dimethyl ether, be considered to have certain ODP (ODP).The GWP of HFO1234yf is in 4 left and right, and is more much smaller than 1430 values of R134a, but inflammable a little.
Many hydro carbons and organic oxygen-containing compound have required performance: have boiling point higher than 130 ℃ (or for mixed solvent 1 atmospheric pressure dew-point temperature greater than 130 ℃), and relatively cheap, and with above-mentioned working medium, mix, thereby can be used as solvent.The base oil of lubricating oil for example, polyalcohol, as ethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, propane diols, DPG, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and product of the condensation reaction between glyme or ethylene glycol and aldehydes or ketones etc.The base oil of lubricating oil, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (or as using the glyme that combines in the Solexol process), ethylene glycol, the general goods chemicals unit prices such as triethylene glycol are lower and toxicity is also low, therefore, by us, paid the utmost attention to.

Figure BDA0000371228820000202
Other condition used in simulation is as follows: generator has 6 theoretical stages (2 grades of rectifying sections, 4 grades of stripping sections, be included in feed zone), and absorber only has one-level (being that it is a blender).Research afterwards shows, when from evaporimeter working medium out, allowing to contain the liquid of a few percent, the progression of generator can reduce to 3 to 4 and affect indistinctively the performance of system.This a small amount of liquid is evaporation fully basically in the subcooler of adverse current basically.The value of pump merit (supposition the efficiency of pump 60%, electric efficiency 95%) be respectively generator reboiler load 0.8%, 2.1%, 1.4% and 2.3%.
