A coupling 5 is arranged between the expander 3 and the compressor 1 for transmitting mechanical work.
When the purifier 101 of the air separation plant 10 needs to be heated, the first valve 61, the fourth valve 64 and the fifth valve 65 are opened, and the second valve 62 and the third valve 63 are closed; leading out a first strand of dirty nitrogen from a dirty nitrogen pipeline 102 of the air separation device 10, introducing the dirty nitrogen into the compressor 1 for boosting, then discharging, then introducing into the hot side of the heat exchanger 2 for releasing heat, then introducing into the expander 3 for expanding and depressurizing, and applying work outwards; leading out a second strand of dirty nitrogen from a dirty nitrogen pipe 102 of the air separation plant 10, introducing the dirty nitrogen into the cold side of the heat exchanger 2 to absorb heat and then discharging the dirty nitrogen, and then introducing the dirty nitrogen into a purifier 101 of the air separation plant 10 to heat and regenerate the dirty nitrogen; a third stream of dirty nitrogen gas is led out from a dirty nitrogen pipeline 102 of the air separation plant 10, and the dirty nitrogen gas is led into the heat accumulator 4 to absorb heat and then is discharged, and then is led into the purifier 101 of the air separation plant 10 to be heated and regenerated.

In a specific application of the device process, the energy-saving heating device continuously operates under the action of the heat accumulator, no matter whether the purifier is in a heating step or not. Based on the air separation plant and various parameters of example 1, assuming a 1:3 ratio of the duration of the heating step and the non-heating step during regeneration of the purifier, the first stream of dirty nitrogen flow to the hot side of the heat exchanger of the economizer heating plant should be 5000Nm3/h and the second stream of dirty nitrogen flow to the cold side of the heat exchanger should be 5000Nm3/h, as required by the protocol3H, the third stream of dirty nitrogen to the regenerator should be 15000Nm3H; in addition, the heat exchange temperature difference of the heat accumulator in the heat accumulation process and the heat release process is assumed to be 5 ℃. In conclusion, the calculation results shown in table 3 can be obtained through calculation. As can be seen from table 3, the energy saving effect of embodiment 2 is the same as that of example 1, i.e., the energy saving heating apparatus can save about 63% of electricity with respect to the ordinary electric heater. From the investment perspective, compared with the embodiment 1, the embodiment 2 has one more heat accumulator, but the overall equipment specification of the energy-saving heating device is one fourth of that of the embodiment 1, and the energy-saving heating device is more practicable due to continuous operation.
