In this embodiment, part of the fresh water is introduced from the fresh water tank 7 and enters the solid-liquid separator 21, and the ice crystals are sprayed by the distributor to remove the salt on the surfaces of the ice crystals, thereby improving the separation effect of the ice crystals and the brine and improving the desalination effect.
Preferably, the preheating mechanism comprises a solar heat collector 19 and an electric heater 20, an outlet of the third fan 18 is connected with an air inlet of the solar heat collector 19, an air outlet of the solar heat collector 19 is connected with an air inlet of the electric heater 20, and an air outlet of the electric heater 20 is connected with an inlet of the regeneration zone of the desiccant rotor 12. The air is heated to nearly 100 ℃ in the solar collector 19 and then heated to about 150 ℃ regeneration temperature by the electric heater 20. Therefore, the energy is utilized in a gradient way, and the energy consumption of the electric heater is reduced.
The working process of the seawater desalination system of the preferred embodiment is as follows:
the compressor 27 is operated, and the refrigerant is internally circulated in the compressor 27, the condenser 17, the first evaporator 3, and the second evaporator 14. The refrigerant generates heat in the condenser 17 to preheat the air being sent to the desiccant rotor 12, generates cooling in the first evaporator 3 to pre-cool the seawater being sent to the evaporative freezer compartment 9, generates cooling in the second evaporator 14 to pre-cool the low moisture content air being sent to the evaporative freezer compartment 9.
The regeneration zone of the desiccant rotor 12 is in full contact with the hot air preheated by the condenser 17, the third fan 18, the solar collector 19 and the electric heater 20, so that the temperature of the desiccant rotor 12 rises, the partial pressure of the water vapor is higher than that of the water vapor in the air, the water vapor in the desiccant rotor 12 is transferred to the air under the action of pressure difference and is brought into the environment by the air, and the regeneration process of the desiccant rotor 12 is completed. The air from the evaporation freezing chamber 9 is fully contacted with the dehumidification area of the dehumidification rotating wheel 12, and at the moment, because the water vapor partial pressure in the dehumidification area is lower than the water vapor partial pressure in the air, the water vapor in the rotating wheel is transferred to the dehumidification rotating wheel under the action of pressure difference, and the dehumidification process of the air is completed.
The air from the desiccant rotor 12, which has a low moisture content but a slightly higher temperature, is cooled by the refrigerant in the second evaporator 14, the concentrated brine in the second cooler 5 and the fluid ice 6 in the ice melter 6 to obtain air with a low temperature and a low moisture content, and then sent to the evaporative freezing chamber 9. After being cooled by the refrigerant in the first evaporator 3, the concentrated brine in the first cooler 4 and the fluid ice in the ice melting device 6, the seawater is uniformly sprayed in the evaporation freezing chamber 9 through the distributor. At this time, the partial pressure of the vapor of the air in the evaporation freezing chamber 9 is lower than the saturated partial pressure 609Pa of the vapor at the triple point of the seawater, and the seawater droplets are evaporated under the driving of the partial pressure difference of the vapor, so that the heat transfer and mass transfer are carried out between the seawater droplets and the 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 to take away latent heat of vaporization, the liquid drops are supercooled and then change into ice crystals when meeting a refrigerator, the salt in the seawater is extruded to the surfaces of the ice crystals because of the icing of the water, and then the mixture of the ice crystals and the strong brine enters a solid-liquid separator 21. Part of fresh water is introduced from the fresh water tank 7 and enters the solid-liquid separator 21, ice crystals are sprayed by the distributor to remove salt on the surfaces of the ice crystals, and the ice crystals and the salt water are separated by the filter screen. The ice crystals enter the ice melting device 6, and the brine and the concentrated seawater separated from the evaporation freezing chamber 9 are merged and enter the concentrated brine water collector 23 for precooling the non-desalinated seawater and the low-humidity air. The ice crystals in the ice melting device 6 further cool the desalinated seawater and the low-humidity air, and the desalinated seawater and the low-humidity air are delivered into the fresh water tank 7 after being melted. The air from the evaporation freezing chamber 9 with high moisture content is sent to the dehumidification rotating wheel 12 for dehumidification under the action of the first fan 11, and is changed into reusable air with low moisture content again, so that the system operates circularly.
The seawater desalination system provided by the embodiment of the invention utilizes an air drying technology of rotary dehumidification, seawater entering the system is subjected to multi-stage precooling, then is sent into an evaporation freezing chamber, and is atomized into water drops; meanwhile, the air with low moisture content dehumidified by the rotating wheel is also sent into the evaporation freezing chamber after being precooled, so that seawater water drops can be rapidly evaporated in the air with low temperature and low moisture content, latent heat of vaporization absorbed by the evaporation of the seawater water drops is rapidly formed into ice crystals, and meanwhile, salt in the liquid drops is extruded to the surface of the ice crystals, thereby avoiding the problem that the taste of fresh water is not good finally because a large amount of salt cells exist in the prepared ice blocks due to large ice making volume in the seawater desalination by a freezing method.
The seawater desalination system provided by the embodiment of the invention effectively realizes energy utilization gradient, introduces solar energy, and greatly reduces the power consumption compared with the vacuum freezing method that the seawater desalination relies on huge energy consumed by a compressor to vacuumize an evaporation freezing chamber to create an environment with low water vapor partial pressure. The system utilizes the rotating wheel to dehumidify and remove most of water vapor in the air to prepare the air with low moisture content, thereby creating an environment with low water vapor partial pressure, realizing the evaporation and freezing of seawater, and the dehumidifying rotating wheel in the system utilizes a multi-stage heat source to realize regeneration, so that the system stably runs, avoids huge energy consumed for creating and extracting vacuum, and is beneficial to energy conservation and environmental protection.
The seawater desalination system provided by the embodiment of the invention reasonably utilizes energy sources at all levels, fully embodies the integral complementary advantage of combined operation of the composite system, and grasps different grades of cold and heat sources, and is reasonably arranged and utilized in a stepped manner. The evaporator, strong brine and fluid ice are used for cooling seawater and low-humidity air in sequence, and the condenser, the solar heat collector and the electric heater are used for heating air for dehumidifying runner regeneration in sequence. The utilization rate of energy is greatly improved, and the operating efficiency of the system is effectively improved.
