Description

Multi-stage air water taking system based on thermal response polymer and operation method
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of heating ventilation and air conditioning systems, and relates to a multi-stage air water taking system based on a thermal response polymer and an operation method.
Background
Atmospheric water collection, also known as "water from air". The water taking in the air is a method for researching the conversion of water in the air into drinking water by Robert Rabi Geer working at the university of Japanese plum in Germany, which provides an inexhaustible 'natural reservoir' for people living in the desert. He used an adsorbent, a large planar polymeric material, which absorbs moisture from the air at night and releases water after being heated during the day. The device is completely powered by solar energy to supply heat, and can be used in areas without a power grid, and the core technology is to absorb moisture in air by utilizing the moisture absorption effect of salt water. The Rabi Geer selects corresponding adsorption materials for tropical countries and temperate regions respectively, and a device with the size of 1 cubic meter can produce 1000 liters of drinking water in one day and night.
Domestic scholars have also invented a device for taking water from the air. The device for taking water from air, which is applied for patent by Shanghai transportation university in 2004, comprises a compressor, a water generator, a sterilizing ultraviolet lamp, an activated carbon purifier and the like. The refrigerant compressed by the compressor is condensed by the condenser, enters the water generator through capillary throttling to evaporate and absorb heat, external air is forced to exchange heat with the water generator through the fan in a convection way, water in the refrigerant is condensed outside the water generator and flows into the water receiving disc at the lower part of the water generator, the water in the water receiving disc is sterilized and disinfected by the sterilizing ultraviolet lamp above the water receiving disc, and then the water is filtered by the active carbon purifier and flows into the two water reservoirs of hot water and cold water respectively. Part of the condensation heat of the refrigerant gas is dissipated by the tube-fin condenser, the other part is used for heating purified water in the hot water drinking water reservoir, part of the evaporation cold energy of the refrigerant liquid is used for making water by the water making device, and the other part is used for cooling the purified water in the cold water drinking water reservoir, so that a user can directly drink the water through the hot water tap and the cold water tap connected with the hot water drinking water reservoir and the cold water drinking water reservoir respectively (patent application number: 200410016871).
The application discloses a heat pipe low-temperature evaporation end dew water collector (Chinese application number 201410060859.1) at the construction university Wang Haitao of Anhui, 30 days, 9 months, 2015, without consuming any energy. The device exchanges heat between heat in soil and air on the surface of the water collector by utilizing the heat conducting property of the heat pipe in daytime, the condensing end of the heat pipe penetrates into the ground, the upper evaporation end is connected with the metal water collecting disc to transfer the heat in the air to the heat pipe through the water collecting disc, and then the heat is transferred into the ground through the heat pipe to exchange heat with the constant-temperature soil, so that the surface temperature of the metal water collecting disc is reduced below the dew point temperature of the air, and water is condensed. At night, the air temperature is lower than the soil temperature, the heat pipe stops working, and at the moment, the air temperature on the surface of the water collector is quickly reduced to be lower than the dew point temperature by utilizing the heat convection of the metal surface of the water collector and the air, so that water is separated out for use. However, such a water collector has a high degree of dependence on weather and has a lot of uncertainty.
The traditional atmosphere water collecting technology mainly collects liquid water in a condensation mode or a mode of combining solid adsorption such as silica gel and the like with the condensation technology, but the condensation mode is limited by evaporation temperature, and the collected liquid water quantity is limited; the combination of solid adsorption and condensation techniques typically requires higher regeneration temperatures throughout the process, resulting in higher energy consumption of the system. The thermally responsive polymer has the characteristic of a volume phase transition temperature, i.e., can adsorb water vapor from air when the polymer temperature is below the volume phase transition temperature; above the volume phase transition temperature, the polymer molecular chain can shrink and drain liquid water, realize the liquid water collection of atmospheric environment. However, the desorption amount of liquid water of the thermally responsive polymer is only about 50% of the equilibrium adsorption amount, and the residual water affects the adsorption effect on one hand and cannot effectively improve the collection amount of liquid water.

After 40 minutes of operation in the low temperature dehydration mode, the system is switched to the high temperature degassing mode, namely, air is heated to 70 ℃ by the heater 5 and then enters the second thermally responsive polymer module 1-2 through the opened third electromagnetic valve 9-3, moisture is taken away by the air in a gaseous water form and enters the post-condensation water collector 6 in the high cold energy gear operation to be cooled, and condensed water flows to the water collecting unit 8 through a water pipeline to be collected. When the system judges that the difference between the measured value of the second dew point temperature sensor 10-2 and the measured value of the first dew point temperature sensor 10-1 is less than or equal to 0.5 ℃, the system is switched from the first thermal response polymer module adsorption mode to the second thermal response polymer module adsorption mode, namely, the adsorbed air enters the system from an air inlet through a pipeline, then is treated to 12 ℃ through a pre-cooling water collector 3, part of condensed water enters a water collecting unit 8 to be collected, passes through a first fan 4, enters the second thermal response polymer module 1-2 after the dew point temperature (12 ℃) is collected through the first dew point temperature sensor 10-1, and water vapor in the air is adsorbed by the thermal response polymer. Subsequently, the opened seventh solenoid valve 9-7 is discharged from the dry air outlet to the system, and the dew point temperature is collected by the second dew point temperature sensor 10-2. Meanwhile, the system is switched to a low-temperature dehydration mode to operate, the other air enters the system and is heated to 45 ℃ through the heater 5, then enters the first heat-response polymer module 1-1 through the opened sixth electromagnetic valve 9-6, the first heat-response polymer is heated and contracted, absorbed moisture is discharged in liquid water and flows to the water collecting unit 8 through the water pipeline to be collected, part of the moisture is taken away by the air in a gaseous water form and enters the post-condensation water collector 6 in a low-cold-capacity gear to be cooled, and condensed water flows to the water collecting unit 8 through the water pipeline to be collected.

The system thus completes one cycle and cycles back and forth in this manner.
The system is operated in a reciprocating manner as described above, and the adsorption efficiency of the thermally responsive polymer is improved by utilizing and cooling the evaporator to collect a portion of the moisture in the air and cool the air. And meanwhile, the water in the air is further collected through two thermal response polymer module adsorption-desorption cycles and then is collected. According to the multi-stage desorption characteristics of the thermal response polymer, the system is matched with the multi-stage desorption characteristics of the thermal response polymer through the double-gear operation of the heater and the post-condensation water collector, so that each stage of the system is ensured to operate with the lowest energy consumption and necessary water collecting capacity is provided.
The interpenetrating network polymer of poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide (PNIPAM) and polypyrrole (PPy) has an equilibrium adsorption of about 1.9g/g at a relative humidity of 90% and a desorption of liquid water heated at 52 ℃ of about 0.8g/g. By theoretical calculation and analysis, 100g of interpenetrating network polymer of poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide (PNIPAM) and polypyrrole (PPy) were used at room temperature of 25 ℃ and relative humidity of 50% (air flow rate 100 m) 3 And/h), refrigerating by using an air conditioner with COP of 2, and heating by using an electric heater. The water collection amount of the system in the first stage (low-temperature dehydration mode) per unit time is about 0.1g/s (the water collection amount of the pre-cooling water collector is 0.03g/s, the dehydration of the heat-responsive polymer is 0.07 g/s), and the energy consumption is 1.81kW (without considering the energy consumption of a fan); the water collection amount in the unit time of the second stage (high temperature degassing mode) is about 0.14g/s (the water collection amount of the pre-cooling water collector is 0.03g/s, the water collection amount of the post-condensation water collector is about 0.11 g/s), and the energy consumption is 3.78kW. The traditional adsorption dehumidification water taking device adopting silica gel and the like needs full-load operation in the whole process, and the regeneration temperature is required to be 100 ℃ generally. In the same wayThe energy consumption of the wet air with the same water intake (0.1 g/s) is 4.46kW, which is far higher than the energy consumption of the first stage 1.81kW and the second stage 3.78kW.
