Description

Refrigerant recovery system and control method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of first compressors, in particular to a refrigerant recovery system and a control method.
Background
Hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants have very high Global Warming Potential (GWP) and they will be phased out for the next decades. The high GWP refrigerant is recovered and reused, which can minimize the influence of the refrigerant on the environment and contribute to the prevention of ozone depletion and global warming. Among them, the separation and purification of mixed refrigerants is one of the main challenges of refrigerant recovery and purification systems, especially the separation and purification of azeotropic or near-azeotropic refrigerants. Due to their close boiling points, conventional separation methods such as distillation are not feasible. Various techniques have been developed for separating mixed refrigerants including extractive distillation using ionic liquids, membrane separation, adsorption, and the like. However, extractive distillation requires the introduction of additional organic entrainers, and membrane separation requires high membrane materials, which can further complicate the separation process. The adsorption separation technology has low cost, high separation purity and great application prospect.
Adsorption separation processes used in industry include temperature swing adsorption, pressure swing adsorption, rinse adsorption, displacement adsorption, and the like. The pressure swing adsorption process is carried out by adsorbing at a higher pressure, desorbing at a lower pressure, and completing the cycle by utilizing the difference of the partial pressures of the adsorbents. Since the pressure changes are much faster than the other parameters and no additional desorbent, rinse agent, has to be introduced into the process, the apparatus is relatively simple and the energy consumption is low.
The adsorption separation process can generate heat absorption and heat release, specifically, adsorption heat release and desorption heat absorption; in the gas adsorption separation process, the adsorption heat is large, and the adsorption process can lead to the temperature rise of the gas which is not adsorbed; the heat of adsorption is not effectively utilized, which is unfavorable for energy conservation.
Aiming at the technical problems, no better solution exists at present.

The invention relates to the field of first compressors, in particular to a refrigerant recovery system and a control method.
Hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants have very high Global Warming Potential (GWP) and they will be phased out for the next decades. The high GWP refrigerant is recovered and reused, which can minimize the influence of the refrigerant on the environment and contribute to the prevention of ozone depletion and global warming. Among them, the separation and purification of mixed refrigerants is one of the main challenges of refrigerant recovery and purification systems, especially the separation and purification of azeotropic or near-azeotropic refrigerants. Due to their close boiling points, conventional separation methods such as distillation are not feasible. Various techniques have been developed for separating mixed refrigerants including extractive distillation using ionic liquids, membrane separation, adsorption, and the like. However, extractive distillation requires the introduction of additional organic entrainers, and membrane separation requires high membrane materials, which can further complicate the separation process. The adsorption separation technology has low cost, high separation purity and great application prospect.
Adsorption separation processes used in industry include temperature swing adsorption, pressure swing adsorption, rinse adsorption, displacement adsorption, and the like. The pressure swing adsorption process is carried out by adsorbing at a higher pressure, desorbing at a lower pressure, and completing the cycle by utilizing the difference of the partial pressures of the adsorbents. Since the pressure changes are much faster than the other parameters and no additional desorbent, rinse agent, has to be introduced into the process, the apparatus is relatively simple and the energy consumption is low.
The adsorption separation process can generate heat absorption and heat release, specifically, adsorption heat release and desorption heat absorption; in the gas adsorption separation process, the adsorption heat is large, and the adsorption process can lead to the temperature rise of the gas which is not adsorbed; the heat of adsorption is not effectively utilized, which is unfavorable for energy conservation.
In order to solve the above technical problems, a refrigerant recovery system and a control method are provided. In order to effectively utilize heat generated in the adsorption separation process, the separation efficiency is improved.
The present invention provides a refrigerant recovery system for separating easily adsorbable components from difficultly adsorbable components in a refrigerant, as shown in fig. 1-2, comprising:
a mixing tank 3 for storing a refrigerant to be recovered;
a first heat exchanger 401 having a first path 4011 and a second path 4012 coupled to each other; the inlet of the first passage 4011 communicates with the outlet of the mixing tank 3;
A first compressor 501, the inlet of which communicates with the outlet of the first passage 4011;
a separation device, the inlet of which communicates with the outlet of the first compressor 501; the separation device comprises a first outlet from which the easily adsorbable component is discharged from the second passage 4012 and a second outlet from which the hardly adsorbable component is discharged, a portion of the heat of the hardly adsorbable component discharged from the second outlet being used to warm the refrigerant flowing through the first passage 4011;
a first storage means for storing the adsorbable component discharged from the first outlet;
and a second storage means for storing the hardly adsorbed component discharged from the second outlet.
The terms "hardly adsorbable component" and "easily adsorbable component" as used in the claims and specification refer to relative terms. For different refrigerants, different adsorbents are required to adsorb the components which are easy to adsorb in the refrigerants, correspondingly, the gases which are difficult to adsorb by the adsorbents are the components which are difficult to adsorb, the components which are easy to adsorb and correspond to the different adsorbents are different, and the adsorbents are required to be determined according to the refrigerants to be separated.
The adsorption affinity of the adsorbent to different components of the mixed refrigerant is different to realize separation, and the adsorbent in the inner cavity can be activated carbon, zeolite or metal organic framework material. For azeotropic/near-azeotropic refrigerant, the adsorbent has strong adsorption capacity on one component of the azeotropic/near-azeotropic refrigerant, is a component easy to adsorb, and is obtained by desorption when vacuumizing a separation tank.
The term "lumen" as used herein includes "first lumen 102 and second lumen 202"; "separator tank" includes "first separator tank and second separator tank"; "interlayer" includes "first interlayer 101 and second interlayer 201"; "coupled to each other" in the present application refers to a connection that is capable of "heat exchange".
"part of the heat of the hardly adsorbable component discharged from the second outlet is used to raise the temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 401" includes that the hardly adsorbable component directly flows through the first heat exchanger 401, and the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 401 is heated and raised in a coupled manner; also included is the heating of the less adsorbable component first to a medium that in turn heats up the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 401.
In addition, the adsorbent can adsorb easily adsorbed components in the refrigerant, the easily adsorbed components are adsorbed by the adsorbent, and the difficultly adsorbed components cannot be adsorbed and discharged, so that the separation of the easily adsorbed components and the difficultly adsorbed components is completed, and the process is the prior art. When the concentration of the refrigerant to be adsorbed is fixed, the lower the temperature and the higher the pressure, the higher the adsorption capacity (the faster the adsorption time, the more the adsorption amount) of the adsorbent; conversely, the higher the temperature, the lower the pressure, and the smaller the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent (the slower the adsorption time, the smaller the adsorption amount). That is, the temperature and pressure are reduced to facilitate the adsorption process, and the temperature and pressure are increased to facilitate the desorption process; and because the adsorption heat of the components is large and the specific heat capacity is small, the adsorbent releases heat outwards when adsorbing the components easy to adsorb, so that the temperature of the components difficult to adsorb is increased.
Since the higher the temperature of the refrigerant gas entering the first compressor 501, the higher the temperature and pressure of the discharged refrigerant gas. Therefore, when the refrigerant recovery system works, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant compressed by the first compressor 501 contacts with the adsorbent in the separation device, the easily-adsorbed component is adsorbed by the adsorbent and releases heat into the difficultly-adsorbed component, the difficultly-adsorbed component is discharged from the second outlet, and the easily-adsorbed component is separated from the adsorbent and is discharged from the first outlet; wherein, as the easily adsorbed component releases heat in the adsorption process, the temperature of the difficultly adsorbed component is increased, the second passage 4012 of the first heat exchanger 401 of the difficultly adsorbed component after temperature increase heats the refrigerant flowing through the first passage 4011, and the temperature of the refrigerant before entering the first compressor 501 is increased, thereby being beneficial to improving the working efficiency of the first compressor 501 and the temperature and pressure of the gas discharged by the first compressor 501; the method is equivalent to recovering the heat in the components difficult to adsorb, reduces the heat waste, is favorable for reducing the separation cost of the refrigerant, is favorable for reducing the energy consumption, improves the separation efficiency of the refrigerant, and improves the utilization rate of energy.
The recovered refrigerant is a single working medium, and the refrigerant with the single working medium can be reused, so that the reuse rate of the refrigerant is improved, and the cost is reduced.
The first compressor 501 is preferably an oil-free compressor, avoiding recontamination of the refrigerant to be separated by the oil of the first compressor 501.
The addition of the second buffer tank 908 after the first compressor 501 reduces pressure fluctuations in the system, allowing the refrigerant gas exiting the first compressor 501 to enter the next device smoothly.
Preferably, the separation device comprises a first separation tank and a second separation tank;
the first separation tank 1 and the second separation tank 2 are of a double-layer shell structure;

the outlet of the first compressor 501 is selectively communicated with the first interlayer 101 and the second interlayer 201, and the first inner cavity 102 and the second inner cavity 202 are respectively provided with an adsorbent.
Through designing the knockout drum as double-deck shell structure, the high temperature high pressure gas of first compressor 501 exhaust gets into first intermediate layer 101 or second intermediate layer 201 earlier and heats the refrigerant in first inner chamber 102 and the second inner chamber 202, so set up, compare in the current internal chamber internal portion of establishing the replacement heat pipe, the high temperature high pressure gas of being discharged by first compressor 501 gets into the heat exchange tube earlier, the application sets up double-deck shell structure, high temperature high pressure gas gets into the intermediate layer and can carry out more even heating to the inner chamber, because the inner chamber is wrapped up by outside intermediate layer, intermediate layer self structure also constitutes the insulating layer, and then guaranteed the stability of the refrigerant temperature in the inner chamber, the effectual desorption efficiency of easily adsorbed component from the adsorbent that has improved.
In addition, the sandwich structure does not occupy the inner cavity space of the separation tank, so that the inner cavity can be provided with enough adsorbent, a large amount of refrigerant can be charged into the inner cavity at one time, and the separation efficiency of the refrigerant is improved.
Moreover, the double-layer shell has simple structure, convenient manufacture, low price and convenient cleaning and maintenance.
Preferably, a first control valve 601 is disposed on a pipe connected between the outlet of the first compressor 501 and the inlet of the first interlayer 101, a second control valve 602 is disposed on a pipe connected between the outlet of the first compressor 501 and the inlet of the second interlayer 201, a third control valve 603 is disposed on a pipe connected between the outlet of the first interlayer 101 and the inlet of the second inner cavity 202, and a fourth control valve 604 is disposed on a pipe connected between the outlet of the second interlayer 201 and the inlet of the first inner cavity 102.
By setting the first control valve 601, the second control valve 602, the third control valve 603 and the fourth control valve 604, the first separation tank and the second separation tank 2 can alternately perform adsorption and desorption of the easily adsorbed components, and the separation efficiency of the refrigerant is improved.

The high-temperature components which are discharged from the first inner cavity 102 and the second inner cavity 202 and difficult to adsorb directly flow through the first heat exchanger 401 to heat the refrigerant flowing into the first compressor 501, so that heat loss of the components difficult to adsorb in the flowing process is avoided, and the heat utilization rate of the components difficult to adsorb is improved.

When the first internal cavity 102 discharges the difficultly adsorbed component, the eighth control valve 608 is opened, and the ninth control valve 609 is closed; when the second lumen 202 discharges the difficultly adsorbed component, the eighth control valve 608 is closed, and the ninth control valve 609 is opened; compared with the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, the high-temperature difficult-to-adsorb components discharged from the first inner cavity 102 and the second inner cavity 202 do not directly flow through the first heat exchanger 401, but flow through the second heat exchanger 402, the refrigerant circulation pipeline 7 is arranged between the second heat exchanger 402 and the first heat exchanger 401, the high-temperature difficult-to-adsorb components heat the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation pipeline 7, the heated refrigerant is pressurized and warmed by the second compressor 502 arranged on the circulation pipeline, and the refrigerant before the high-temperature refrigerant pressurized and warmed by the second compressor 502 flows into the first compressor 501 flows through the first heat exchanger 401 to be heated, so that the temperature of the refrigerant before entering the first compressor 501 can be effectively increased; the temperature of the refrigerant heated by the first heat exchanger 401 is reduced, the refrigerant with the reduced temperature absorbs heat from the difficult-to-adsorb component through the second heat exchanger 402 again to raise the temperature, and the refrigerant with the heat absorbed from the difficult-to-adsorb component passes through the second compressor 502 to raise the temperature more, thereby improving the compression efficiency of the first compressor 501. The refrigerant is heated through the components difficult to adsorb, the temperature of the refrigerant is increased, the compression efficiency of the second compressor 502 is further improved, the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the second compressor 502 is further improved, and the refrigerant discharged by the second compressor 502 heats the refrigerant before the first compressor 501 through the first heat exchanger 401, so that the circulation is realized.

In this way, the compressor is fully utilized to perform work, and on the one hand, the temperature of the refrigerant in the first passage 4011 can be adjusted to be increased. On the other hand, the increased pressure of the refrigerant exiting the first compressor 501 is beneficial in reducing the energy required to pressurize the system adsorption process.
Preferably, an expansion valve 701 is provided in the refrigerant circulation line 7 between the outlet of the second passage 4012 and the inlet of the fourth passage 4022.
The temperature of the refrigerant after the refrigerant is heated by the first heat exchanger 401 is reduced, and the temperature of the reduced refrigerant is further reduced by the expansion valve 701, and at this time, the temperature of the refrigerant is low, even lower than zero degrees.

When one of the first cavity 102 or the second cavity 202 is exhausted, the other is completely desorbed in vacuum; at this time, the pressure difference between the two inner cavities is large, and the next step of the inner cavity for completing vacuum desorption is to flush refrigerant to perform adsorption work of easily adsorbed components, and the low pressure is not favorable for adsorption; when one of the first cavity 102 or the second cavity 202 is discharged and the other is subjected to vacuum desorption, the seventh control valve 607 is opened to balance the pressures of the two cavities, that is, the pressure of the cavity for discharging the components difficult to be adsorbed is conveyed and decompressed to the cavity for performing vacuum desorption, so that the pressure of the cavity for performing vacuum desorption is improved, preparation is made for the subsequent adsorption of the components easy to be adsorbed, and the adsorption efficiency of the components easy to be adsorbed is improved.

The components difficult to adsorb flow out from the first buffer tank 907 smoothly and then enter the first condenser 914 to be condensed into liquid; since the mixed refrigerant contains non-condensable gas, the refrigerant flowing out of the first condenser 914 enters the gas-liquid separator 909, the solenoid valve 910 is provided at the top of the gas-liquid separator 909, the non-condensable gas is discharged from the gas-liquid separator 909 through the solenoid valve 910, and the mixed refrigerant is discharged from the gas-liquid separator 909 and enters the first recovery container 913 through the first check valve 911.

step one: controlling the second control valve 602, the fourth control valve 604 and the eleventh control valve 611 to be opened, controlling the outlet valve group to be closed, and controlling the vacuum pump 8 to be started;
controlling the first step to keep a first preset time period, and then executing the next step;
step two: controlling the outlet valve group to be in a first mode, closing other control valves, and controlling the vacuum pump 8 to stop; when the outlet valve set is in the first mode, the difficultly adsorbed component within the first interior cavity 102 is discharged from the first interior cavity 102; controlling the second step to keep a second preset time period, and then executing the next step;
step three: controlling the outlet valve group to be in a second mode, closing other control valves, and controlling the vacuum pump 8 to stop; when the outlet valve set is in the first mode, the first interior chamber 102 and the second interior chamber 202 are in communication;
controlling the third step to keep a third preset time length, and then executing the next step;
step four: controlling the first control valve 601, the third control valve 603 and the tenth control valve 610 to be opened, controlling the outlet valve group to be closed and controlling the vacuum pump 8 to be opened;
Controlling the fourth step to keep a fourth preset time length, and then executing the next step;
step five: controlling the outlet valve group to be in a third mode, and closing other control valves; when the outlet valve set is in the third mode, the less adsorbable component within the second lumen 202 is discharged from the second lumen 202;

step six: controlling the outlet valve group to be in a second mode, and closing other control valves;
controlling the sixth step to keep a sixth preset time period, and then executing the first step;
and so on.
Step one: the second control valve 602, the fourth control valve 604 and the eleventh control valve 611 are opened, the outlet valve group is closed, and the vacuum pump 8 is started for a first preset period of time;
in a first preset period of time, the mixed refrigerant enters the second interlayer 201 through the second control valve 602 to heat the second inner cavity 202, so that the temperature in the second inner cavity 202 is raised, the vacuum pump 8 is started to vacuumize the second inner cavity 202, the pressure in the second inner cavity 202 is reduced, and the easily-adsorbed components adsorbed by the adsorbent in the second inner cavity 202 are desorbed and flow out through the eleventh control valve 611 and the vacuum pump 8 through the driving of the vacuum pump 8 to finish desorption; at the same time, the refrigerant in the second interlayer 201 continuously flows into the first inner cavity 102 through the fourth control valve 604, the easily adsorbable component contained in the refrigerant is adsorbed by the adsorbent in the first inner cavity 102 and releases heat to the difficultly adsorbable component, and the difficultly adsorbable component is enriched in the first inner cavity 102.
Step two: the outlet valve group is in a first mode, other control valves are closed, the vacuum pump 8 is stopped, and a second preset time period is kept;
in the second preset time period, the outlet valve group is in the first mode, the difficultly adsorbed component in the first inner cavity 102 flows out through the outlet valve group, and the concentration of the difficultly adsorbed component in the first inner cavity 102 is reduced.
Step three: the outlet valve group is in a second mode, other control valves are closed, the vacuum pump 8 is stopped, and a third preset time period is kept;
during a third preset period, the outlet valve set is in a second mode, in which the first inner cavity 102 and the second inner cavity 202 are communicated, and because in the first step, the suction pressure of the second inner cavity 202 through the vacuum pump 8 is lower, when the first inner cavity 102 and the second inner cavity 202 are communicated, a part of the components difficult to adsorb in the first inner cavity 102 flows to the second inner cavity 202, so that the pressure in the second inner cavity 202 is increased, and the second inner cavity 202 is ready for adsorbing the components easy to adsorb in the next adsorbent. It is explained herein that the higher the pressure, the more advantageous the adsorption, and when a certain amount of refrigerant is charged into the inner chamber, the higher the original pressure of the inner chamber, the higher the pressure after the refrigerant is charged, thereby improving the adsorption effect of the adsorbent on the easily adsorbed components.
Step four: the first control valve 601, the third control valve 603 and the tenth control valve 610 are opened, the outlet valve group is closed, the vacuum pump 8 is opened, and a fourth preset time period is maintained;
in a fourth preset period, the mixed refrigerant enters the first interlayer 101 through the first control valve 601 to heat the first inner cavity 102, so that the temperature in the first inner cavity 102 is raised, the vacuum pump 8 is started to vacuumize the first inner cavity 102, the pressure in the first inner cavity 102 is reduced, and the easily-adsorbed components adsorbed by the adsorbent in the first inner cavity 102 are desorbed and flow out through the tenth control valve 610 and the vacuum pump 8 through the driving of the vacuum pump 8 to finish desorption; at the same time, the refrigerant in the first interlayer 101 continuously flows into the second inner cavity 202 through the third control valve 603, the easily adsorbable component contained in the refrigerant is adsorbed by the adsorbent in the second inner cavity 202 and releases heat to the difficultly adsorbable component, and the difficultly adsorbable component is enriched in the second inner cavity 202.
Step five: the outlet valve group is in a third mode, other control valves are closed, and a fifth preset duration is kept;
in the fifth preset time period, the outlet valve set is in the third mode, the difficultly adsorbed component in the second inner cavity 202 flows out through the outlet valve set, and the concentration of the difficultly adsorbed component in the second inner cavity 202 is reduced.
Step six: and the outlet valve group is in a second mode, and other control valves are closed for a sixth preset duration.
During the sixth preset period, the outlet valve set is in the second mode, in which the first inner cavity 102 and the second inner cavity 202 are communicated, and because in the fourth step, the suction pressure of the first inner cavity 102 through the vacuum pump 8 is lower, when the second inner cavity 202 and the first inner cavity 102 are communicated, a part of the components difficult to be adsorbed in the second inner cavity 202 flows to the first inner cavity 102, so that the pressure in the first inner cavity 102 is increased, and the first inner cavity 102 is ready for adsorbing the components easy to be adsorbed by the adsorbent next time.
Preferably:
when the refrigerant recovery system is provided with a second compressor 502, when the refrigerant recovery system is in the step one, the second compressor 502 is also controlled to be started for the first preset period of time; the second compressor 502 is also controlled to start and last for the fourth preset time period when the refrigerant recovery system is in the fourth step.
In the first step, the refrigerant continuously flows through the first heat exchanger 401, and at this time, the second compressor 502 continuously heats the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 401, and the duration is consistent with the duration of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 401 in the first step; similarly, in step four, the refrigerant continuously flows through the first heat exchanger 401, and at this time, the second compressor 502 is operated to continuously heat the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 401, and the duration is consistent with the duration of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 401 in step four; not only can the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 401 be heated in this way; the condition that the second compressor 502 works to continuously heat the refrigerant which does not flow in the first heat exchanger 401 is avoided, so that the temperature difference between the first passage 4011 and the second passage 4012 is reduced, and the heating efficiency is reduced; thereby improving the heating efficiency of the refrigerant.
The refrigerant recovery system is in operation:
the second control valve 602, the fourth control valve 604, and the eleventh control valve 611 are opened, and the other control valves are closed; at this time, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor are high, the refrigerant enters the second interlayer 201 to heat the adsorbent in the second inner cavity 202, which has completed adsorption of the easily adsorbed component, and the vacuum pump 8 starts to vacuumize the second inner cavity 202, so that the easily adsorbed component in the second inner cavity 202 is quickly desorbed from the adsorbent in a high-temperature low-pressure environment (the process can be called as high-temperature vacuum desorption), and the desorbed easily adsorbed component is discharged from the outlet of the vacuum pump 8 and collected after being driven by the vacuum pump 8; meanwhile, the temperature of the refrigerant in the second interlayer 201 after absorbing heat by the second inner cavity 202 is reduced, but the pressure is still high, and the refrigerant with reduced temperature is discharged from the second interlayer 201 and enters the first inner cavity 102 through the fourth control valve 604; in the first interior chamber 102, the refrigerant is contacted with an adsorbent, wherein the adsorbable component of the refrigerant is adsorbed by the adsorbent; because the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant entering the first cavity 102 are higher, the adsorption efficiency of the easily adsorbed components in the first cavity 102 is higher.
After the easily adsorbed component in the first inner cavity 102 is adsorbed, the difficultly adsorbed component needs to be discharged; the fifth control valve 605 is opened, and the other control valves are closed; since the adsorption process is exothermic, the hardly adsorbable component stores heat released during adsorption of the easily adsorbable component, and the hardly adsorbable component increases in temperature and is discharged through the fifth control valve 605.
After the components difficult to adsorb in the first inner cavity 102 are discharged, on one hand, the components easy to adsorb in the first inner cavity 102 need to be discharged in a desorption mode, and on the other hand, the adsorption pressure of the second inner cavity 202 through the vacuum pump 8 is lower, and the pressure of the second inner cavity 202 needs to be raised to prepare for the next adsorption operation of the second inner cavity 202; the seventh control valve 607 is opened, and the other control valves are closed; the residual components difficult to adsorb in the first inner cavity 102 flow to the second inner cavity 202 through the seventh control valve 607, so that the pressure of the second inner cavity 202 is increased, and meanwhile, the concentration of the components difficult to adsorb in the first inner cavity 102 is reduced, thereby being beneficial to the recovery purity of the components easy to adsorb in the first inner cavity 102.
After the first inner cavity 102 and the second inner cavity 202 are subjected to pressure equalizing, the easily-adsorbed components in the first inner cavity 102 are subjected to desorption, and the second inner cavity 202 is subjected to adsorption of the easily-adsorbed components; at this time, the first control valve 601, the third control valve 603, and the tenth control valve 610 are opened, and the other control valves are closed; the temperature and the pressure of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor are high, the refrigerant enters the first interlayer 101 to heat the adsorbent which is adsorbed by the easily adsorbed component in the first inner cavity 102, the vacuum pump 8 starts vacuumizing the first inner cavity 102, the easily adsorbed component in the first inner cavity 102 is quickly desorbed from the adsorbent under the environment of high temperature and low pressure, and the desorbed easily adsorbed component is discharged from the outlet of the vacuum pump 8 and collected after being driven by the vacuum pump 8; meanwhile, the temperature of the refrigerant in the first interlayer 101 after absorbing heat by the first inner cavity 102 is reduced, but the pressure is still high, and the refrigerant after reducing the temperature is discharged from the first interlayer 101 and enters the second inner cavity 202 through the third control valve 603; in the second internal cavity 202, the refrigerant is contacted with the adsorbent, wherein the adsorbable component of the refrigerant is adsorbed by the adsorbent; because the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant entering the second cavity 202 are higher, the adsorption efficiency of the easily adsorbed components in the second cavity 202 is higher.
After the easily adsorbed component in the second cavity 202 is adsorbed, the difficultly adsorbed component needs to be discharged; the sixth control valve 606 is opened and the other control valves are closed; since the adsorption process is exothermic, the hardly adsorbable component stores heat released during adsorption of the easily adsorbable component, and the hardly adsorbable component increases in temperature and is discharged through the sixth control valve 606.
After the components difficult to adsorb in the second inner cavity 202 are discharged, on one hand, the components easy to adsorb in the second inner cavity 202 need to be discharged in a desorption mode, on the other hand, the adsorption pressure of the first inner cavity 102 through the vacuum pump 8 is lower, and the pressure of the first inner cavity 102 needs to be raised to prepare for the next adsorption operation of the first inner cavity 102; the seventh control valve 607 is opened, and the other control valves are closed; the residual components difficult to adsorb in the second inner cavity 202 flow to the first inner cavity 102 through the seventh control valve 607, so that the pressure of the first inner cavity 102 is increased, and meanwhile, the concentration of the components difficult to adsorb in the second inner cavity 202 is reduced, thereby being beneficial to the recovery purity of the components easy to adsorb in the second inner cavity 202.
