The working principle of the seawater evaporation, refrigeration and desalination system is as follows:
air from the dehumidifier 16 has low moisture content but high temperature, is cooled by an evaporator 30 of a heat pump system to obtain air with low temperature and low moisture content, and then is sent into the evaporation freezing chamber 14, seawater is pre-cooled and then is uniformly sprayed in the evaporation freezing chamber 14 through a distributor, at the moment, the partial pressure of water vapor of the air in the evaporation freezing chamber 14 is lower than the saturated partial pressure 609Pa of the saturated water vapor at the triple point of the seawater, and seawater droplets are evaporated under the driving of the partial pressure difference of the water vapor, and then generate heat and mass transfer with ambient air. The moisture content of the vapor evaporated by the air absorbing the liquid drops is increased, the temperature of the seawater liquid drops is continuously reduced because the surface of the seawater liquid drops is gradually evaporated and the latent heat of vaporization is continuously taken away, the liquid drops are changed into ice crystals when encountering a refrigerator after being supercooled, and the salt in the seawater is extruded to the surfaces of the ice crystals because of the icing of the water. The ice crystals with salt attached on the surface and the concentrated seawater (salt water) which is not changed into the ice crystals are separated by a filter screen, the ice crystals enter a washing separator 12, part of fresh water is introduced into a fresh water storage tank 6 and enters the washing separator 12, the ice crystals are sprayed by a distributor to remove the salt on the surfaces of the ice crystals, the ice crystals and the salt water are separated by the filter screen, the ice crystals enter an ice melting tank 10, the salt water and the concentrated seawater separated from an evaporation freezing chamber 14 are converged and enter a second heat exchanger 4 to pre-cool the seawater which is not desalinated, the ice crystals in the ice melting tank 10 pre-cool the seawater which is sent into the evaporation freezing chamber 14, and the seawater is sent into the fresh water storage tank 6 after being melted. The air from the evaporative freezing chamber 14, which has a high moisture content, is sent to the dehumidifier 16 for dehumidification under the action of the fan, and is changed into reusable air with a low moisture content again, so that the system is operated circularly.
The invention utilizes the air drying technology of solution dehumidification, seawater is sent into an evaporation freezing chamber after being precooled, and is atomized into water drops, and simultaneously, the air with low moisture content and dehumidified by the solution is also sent into the evaporation freezing chamber after being precooled, so that the water drops of the seawater can be rapidly evaporated in the air with low temperature and low moisture content, vaporization latent heat absorbed by the evaporation of the water drops of the seawater can be rapidly formed into ice crystals, and simultaneously, salt in the water drops is extruded to the surface of the ice crystals, thereby avoiding the problem that the taste of fresh water is poor because of a large ice making volume and a large amount of salt cells in the prepared ice blocks in the seawater desalination by a freezing method. Meanwhile, the stability of the system in the process of seawater desalination by a freezing method is greatly improved, and the cold quantity generated from the outside required by icing is greatly reduced through the cold quantity brought by self vaporization.
The invention is based on the principle that the seawater desalination by a vacuum method utilizes the pressure difference of water vapor in air to drive seawater to evaporate and freeze, and selects air with low moisture content to realize the evaporation and the freezing of the seawater in order to avoid huge energy consumption caused by vacuum pumping. Compared with the vacuum method for seawater desalination, the method has great energy-saving potential, is beneficial to energy conservation and environmental protection, and effectively improves the operating efficiency of the system.
