In the heat pump type steam generator, the evaporator of the heat pump section functions as an exhaust heat recovery device, where heat is recovered from the heat source hot water to the refrigerant, and the recovered heat is used to heat the heated water with a condenser. Since steam is generated, there is an advantage _{that running cost and CO 2} emissions can be reduced as compared with a combustion system steam generator that generates steam by using a boiler facility or the like.

以下、添付図面を参照してこの発明を実施するための形態について説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

［実施の形態１］
（全体構成）
図１は、本発明の実施の形態１である蒸気生成システム１の全体構成を示すブロック図である。蒸気生成システム１は、工場排水等の熱源温水から排熱を回収し、回収した排熱を利用して水蒸気を生成するシステムであり、生成した水蒸気は乾燥装置や殺菌装置等の外部の蒸気利用設備に送られる。 [Embodiment 1]
(overall structure)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an overall configuration of the steam generation system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The steam generation system 1 is a system that recovers exhaust heat from heat source hot water such as factory wastewater and uses the recovered exhaust heat to generate steam, and the generated steam uses external steam such as a drying device and a sterilizer. Sent to the facility.

図１に示すように、蒸気生成システム１は、熱源温水Ｗからヒートポンプで回収した熱を被加熱水に伝熱することで蒸気Ｈを生成する複数台の蒸気生成装置２（２ａ〜２ｄ）が並列に接続される。各蒸気生成装置２には、熱源温水Ｗを貯留するバッファタンクとしての温水タンク３から、ポンプ４を介して熱源温水Ｗが供給される。この温水タンク３を設けることによって、各蒸気生成装置２に対する熱源温水Ｗの供給量変動を抑えることができる。この結果、熱源温水Ｗの供給量変動に伴う蒸気生成システム１の蒸気出力変動を抑えることができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, in the steam generation system 1, a plurality of steam generators 2 (2a to 2d) that generate steam H by transferring heat recovered from the heat source hot water W by a heat pump to the water to be heated are used. Connected in parallel. The heat source hot water W is supplied to each steam generator 2 from the hot water tank 3 as a buffer tank for storing the heat source hot water W via the pump 4. By providing the hot water tank 3, it is possible to suppress fluctuations in the amount of heat source hot water W supplied to each steam generator 2. As a result, fluctuations in the steam output of the steam generation system 1 due to fluctuations in the supply amount of the heat source hot water W can be suppressed.

温水タンク３には、水位センサ６が設けられる。水位センサ６は、温水タンク３に貯留される熱源温水Ｗの貯留量を測定する。また、ポンプ４と各蒸気生成装置２との間には流量調整弁５（５ａ〜５ｄ）が設けられる。制御部１０は、水位センサ６が検知した温水タンク３の貯留量の増減に対応してポンプ４が供給する熱源温水Ｗの流量を増減する。 The hot water tank 3 is provided with a water level sensor 6. The water level sensor 6 measures the amount of heat source hot water W stored in the hot water tank 3. Further, a flow rate adjusting valve 5 (5a to 5d) is provided between the pump 4 and each steam generating device 2. The control unit 10 increases or decreases the flow rate of the heat source hot water W supplied by the pump 4 in response to the increase or decrease in the stored amount of the hot water tank 3 detected by the water level sensor 6.

制御部１０は、各流量調整弁５を調整して、各蒸気生成装置２に対して均等配分された流量の熱源温水Ｗを供給する。さらに制御部１０は、各蒸気生成装置２に対して均等配分された熱源温水Ｗの流量（均等配分流量Ｆ）をもとに、各蒸気生成装置２の運転制御を行う。特に、制御部１０は、出力配分制御部１０ａを有し、出力配分制御部１０ａは、記憶部７０の出力係数情報Ｄを参照して、各蒸気生成装置２ａ〜２ｄにおけるそれぞれの出力係数に基づき、出力配分比を決定し、決定した出力配分比と蒸気生成システム１の要求出力により各蒸気生成装置２ａ〜２ｄの出力設定値を可変とする出力配分制御処理を行う。この出力配分制御処理は、出力配分比の総和が１となるように、出力係数が大きい蒸気生成装置ほど出力配分比を大きくし、出力係数が小さい蒸気生成装置ほど出力配分比を小さくする処理を行う。この出力配分制御処理の詳細については後述する。 The control unit 10 adjusts each flow rate adjusting valve 5 to supply the heat source hot water W having a flow rate evenly distributed to each steam generator 2. Further, the control unit 10 controls the operation of each steam generator 2 based on the flow rate of the heat source hot water W evenly distributed to each steam generator 2 (equally distributed flow rate F). In particular, the control unit 10 has an output distribution control unit 10a, and the output distribution control unit 10a refers to the output coefficient information D of the storage unit 70 and is based on the respective output coefficients of the steam generators 2a to 2d. , The output distribution ratio is determined, and the output distribution control process is performed so that the output set values of the steam generators 2a to 2d are variable according to the determined output distribution ratio and the required output of the steam generation system 1. In this output distribution control process, the output distribution ratio is increased as the steam generator has a larger output coefficient, and the output distribution ratio is decreased as the steam generator has a smaller output coefficient so that the sum of the output distribution ratios is 1. Do. The details of this output distribution control process will be described later.

なお、温水タンク３には、温度センサ７が設けられる。温度センサ７は、温水タンク３内に貯留される熱源温水Ｗの温度を検出し、その検出結果を制御部１０に送出する。各蒸気生成装置２に供給される熱源温水Ｗは、各蒸気生成装置２に熱を供給するものであり、各蒸気生成装置２に供給される熱流量は、熱源温水Ｗの流量と温度とに依存する。制御部１０は、この熱源温水Ｗの温度を加味して各蒸気生成装置２に供給される熱流量を調整する必要がある。この実施の形態では、説明の便宜上、熱源温水Ｗの温度が一定とし、熱源温水Ｗの流量を制御することによって、各蒸気生成装置２に対する熱流量が制御されるものとして説明する。 The hot water tank 3 is provided with a temperature sensor 7. The temperature sensor 7 detects the temperature of the heat source hot water W stored in the hot water tank 3, and sends the detection result to the control unit 10. The heat source hot water W supplied to each steam generator 2 supplies heat to each steam generator 2, and the heat flow rate supplied to each steam generator 2 is the flow rate and temperature of the heat source hot water W. Dependent. The control unit 10 needs to adjust the heat flow rate supplied to each steam generator 2 in consideration of the temperature of the heat source hot water W. In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the heat flow rate to each steam generator 2 is controlled by keeping the temperature of the heat source hot water W constant and controlling the flow rate of the heat source hot water W.

The steam separator 42 that separates into water, the steam supply path 44 that supplies the steam separated by the steam separator 42 to the external steam utilization facility, and the water separated by the steam separator 42 are supplied from the water supply path 30. It has a water circulation path 46 that merges with the water to be produced and leads from the condenser 22 to the steam separator 42.

水蒸気分離器４２は、鉛直方向に沿った円筒状容器で構成され、下端壁に接続された水循環経路４６に接続された給水経路３０から水が給水補給されることで容器内部に水を貯留する。給水経路３０は、図示しない水道管や水タンクからの水（給水）を給水ポンプ４８によって加熱器２８を経て水循環経路４６まで導入する。給水ポンプ４８は制御部１８の制御下に、水蒸気分離器４２内に貯留された水の水位を測定する水位センサ５０の検出値（水位）に基づきインバータ（ＩＮＶ）５２を介してその運転回転数が制御される。水蒸気分離器４２には、内部の蒸気圧が所定圧力以上になった際に開放される圧力逃がし弁５４が接続されている。 The steam separator 42 is composed of a cylindrical container along the vertical direction, and stores water inside the container by supplying water from a water supply path 30 connected to a water circulation path 46 connected to the lower end wall. .. The water supply path 30 introduces water (water supply) from a water pipe or a water tank (not shown) to the water circulation path 46 via the heater 28 by the water supply pump 48. Under the control of the control unit 18, the water supply pump 48 operates at its operating speed via the inverter (INV) 52 based on the detected value (water level) of the water level sensor 50 that measures the water level of the water stored in the steam separator 42.

蒸気供給経路４４は、水蒸気分離器４２の上端壁に接続され、蒸気管４６ｂから当該水蒸気分離器４２内に供給され、ここで水が分離された後の蒸気Ｈを外部に送り出す経路である。蒸気供給経路４４には、流れる蒸気Ｈの圧力を調整する圧力調整弁６０が設置されている。圧力調整弁６０は、制御部１８の制御下に、圧力センサ６２で測定される水蒸気分離器４２内の蒸気圧力に基づきその開度が調整される。圧力調整弁６０の開度を適宜調整することにより、蒸気生成装置２から外部に送り出される蒸気Ｈの流量や圧力を制御できる。蒸気供給経路４４を流れる蒸気の圧力を調整する蒸気圧力調整手段としては、圧力調整弁６０に代えて又はこれと共に蒸気を圧縮する蒸気圧縮機を用いてもよい。 The steam supply path 44 is a path that is connected to the upper end wall of the steam separator 42, is supplied into the steam separator 42 from the steam pipe 46b, and sends out the steam H after the water is separated here to the outside. A pressure adjusting valve 60 for adjusting the pressure of the flowing steam H is installed in the steam supply path 44. The opening degree of the pressure adjusting valve 60 is adjusted under the control of the control unit 18 based on the steam pressure in the steam separator 42 measured by the pressure sensor 62. By appropriately adjusting the opening degree of the pressure adjusting valve 60, the flow rate and pressure of the steam H sent out from the steam generating device 2 can be controlled. As the steam pressure adjusting means for adjusting the pressure of the steam flowing through the steam supply path 44, a steam compressor that compresses steam may be used in place of or together with the pressure adjusting valve 60.

制御部１８は、制御部１０からの出力指令値が示す蒸気出力となるように、圧縮機２０の運転回転数を制御する。なお、制御部１８は、さらに給水ポンプ４８、循環ポンプ５６及び圧力調整弁６０の制御を行う。また、制御部１８は、各センサ３４〜３８の検出値に基づき圧縮機２０の運転制御を行うことで、ヒートポンプ部１６の加熱出力を制御する。すなわち、制御部１８は、各センサ３４〜３８の検出値をもとに、圧縮機２０の吐出側から膨張機構２４の入口側までの冷媒のエンタルピ差と、ヒートポンプサイクルの冷媒循環量との積であるヒートポンプ加熱出力を算出し、この算出したヒートポンプ加熱出力が目標加熱出力となるように、圧縮機２０の運転回転数を制御する。 The control unit 18 controls the operating rotation speed of the compressor 20 so that the steam output indicated by the output command value from the control unit 10 is obtained. The control unit 18 further controls the water supply pump 48, the circulation pump 56, and the pressure regulating valve 60. Further, the control unit 18 controls the heating output of the heat pump unit 16 by controlling the operation of the compressor 20 based on the detected values of the sensors 34 to 38. That is, the control unit 18 is the product of the enthalpy difference of the refrigerant from the discharge side of the compressor 20 to the inlet side of the expansion mechanism 24 and the refrigerant circulation amount of the heat pump cycle based on the detected values of the sensors 34 to 38. The heat pump heating output is calculated, and the operating rotation speed of the compressor 20 is controlled so that the calculated heat pump heating output becomes the target heating output.

ここで、図３に示したフローチャートを参照して、出力配分制御部１０ａによる出力配分制御処理手順について説明する。図３に示すように、出力配分制御部１０ａは、記憶部７０に記憶された出力係数情報Ｄを取得する（ステップＳ１０１）。この出力係数情報Ｄには、各蒸気生成装置２の出力係数が記述されている。その後、出力配分制御部１０ａは、各蒸気生成装置２の出力配分比計算を行う（ステップＳ１０２）。この出力配分比計算は、出力配分比の総和が１となるように、出力係数が大きい蒸気生成装置ほど出力配分比を大きくし、出力係数が小さい蒸気生成装置ほど出力配分比を小さくする。 (Output distribution control processing)
Here, the output distribution control processing procedure by the output distribution control unit 10a will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the output distribution control unit 10a acquires the output coefficient information D stored in the storage unit 70 (step S101). The output coefficient information D describes the output coefficient of each steam generator 2. After that, the output distribution control unit 10a calculates the output distribution ratio of each steam generator 2 (step S102). In this output distribution ratio calculation, the output distribution ratio is increased as the steam generator has a larger output coefficient, and the output distribution ratio is decreased as the steam generator has a smaller output coefficient so that the sum of the output distribution ratios is 1.

その後、出力配分制御部１０ａは、蒸気生成システムの要求出力と出力配分比をもとに各蒸気生成装置２の出力設定値を決定し、各蒸気生成装置２に指示する（ステップＳ１０３）。その後、システム停止の指示があったか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０４）。システム停止の指示がない場合（ステップＳ１０４，Ｎｏ）には、ステップＳ１０３に移行して上述した処理を繰り返し、システム停止の指示があった場合（ステップＳ１０４，Ｙｅｓ）には、本処理を終了する。 After that, the output distribution control unit 10a determines the output set value of each steam generation device 2 based on the required output of the steam generation system and the output distribution ratio, and instructs each steam generation device 2 (step S103). After that, it is determined whether or not there is an instruction to stop the system (step S104). If there is no instruction to stop the system (steps S104, No), the process proceeds to step S103 and the above-described processing is repeated. If there is an instruction to stop the system (steps S104, Yes), this processing ends. ..

（出力配分制御処理の具体例）
図４は、出力配分制御処理の具体例を説明する説明図である。この具体例では、各蒸気生成装置２ａ〜２ｄの出力係数Ｒａ〜Ｒｄがそれぞれ、１．０、１．１、１．１、０．９であり、システム全体の要求出力が１００ｋＷであり、システム全体の必要流量が５０００ｋｇ／ｈであるとして説明する。すなわち、蒸気生成装置２ｂ，２ｃの出力係数が大きく、蒸気生成装置２ｄの出力係数が小さい場合について説明する。 (Specific example of output distribution control processing)
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a specific example of the output distribution control process. In this specific example, the output coefficients Ra to Rd of each steam generator 2a to 2d are 1.0, 1.1, 1.1, and 0.9, respectively, the required output of the entire system is 100 kW, and the system. It will be described assuming that the total required flow rate is 5000 kg / h. That is, a case where the output coefficients of the steam generators 2b and 2c are large and the output coefficients of the steam generator 2d is small will be described.

各蒸気生成装置２ａ〜２ｄの出力配分比ＰＤａ〜ＰＤｄは、上述したように、出力配分比の総和が１となるように、出力係数が大きい蒸気生成装置ほど出力配分比を大きくし、出力係数が小さい蒸気生成装置ほど出力配分比を小さくする。具体的な出力配分比ＰＤａ〜ＰＤｄは、出力係数Ｒａ〜Ｒｄの総和に対する各出力係数Ｒａ〜Ｒｄの比として求める。すなわち、
ＰＤａ＝Ｒａ／（Ｒａ＋Ｒｂ＋Ｒｃ＋Ｒｄ）
ＰＤｂ＝Ｒｂ／（Ｒａ＋Ｒｂ＋Ｒｃ＋Ｒｄ）
ＰＤｃ＝Ｒｃ／（Ｒａ＋Ｒｂ＋Ｒｃ＋Ｒｄ）
ＰＤｄ＝Ｒｄ／（Ｒａ＋Ｒｂ＋Ｒｃ＋Ｒｄ）
として求める。 As described above, the output distribution ratios PDa to PDd of the steam generators 2a to 2d have a larger output distribution ratio as the steam generator has a larger output coefficient so that the sum of the output distribution ratios is 1. The smaller the steam generator, the smaller the output distribution ratio. The specific output distribution ratios PDa to PDd are obtained as the ratio of each output coefficient Ra to Rd to the sum of the output coefficients Ra to Rd. That is,
PDa = Ra / (Ra + Rb + Rc + Rd)
PDb = Rb / (Ra + Rb + Rc + Rd)
PDc = Rc / (Ra + Rb + Rc + Rd)

そして、各蒸気生成装置２ａ〜２ｄに対する各出力設定値Ｐｒａ〜Ｐｒｄは、各出力配分比ＰＤａ〜ＰＤｄに蒸気生成システム１の要求出力Ｐtotalを乗算した値として算出する。すなわち、各出力設定値Ｐｒａ〜Ｐｒｄは、
Ｐｒａ＝ＰＤａ×Ｐtotal
＝１．０／（１．０＋１．１＋１．１＋０．９）×１００［ｋＷ］
＝２４．４［ｋＷ］
Ｐｒｂ＝ＰＤｂ×Ｐtotal
＝１．１／（１．０＋１．１＋１．１＋０．９）×１００［ｋＷ］
＝２６．８［ｋＷ］
Ｐｒｃ＝ＰＤｃ×Ｐtotal
＝１．１／（１．０＋１．１＋１．１＋０．９）×１００［ｋＷ］

Ｐｒｄ＝ＰＤｄ×Ｐtotal
＝０．９／（１．０＋１．１＋１．１＋０．９）×１００［ｋＷ］
＝２２．０［ｋＷ］
として算出される。 Then, each output set value Pra to Prd for each steam generation device 2a to 2d is calculated as a value obtained by multiplying each output distribution ratio PDa to PDd by the required output Ptotal of the steam generation system 1. That is, each output set value Pra to Prd is
Pra = PDa x Ptotal
= 1.0 / (1.0 + 1.1 + 1.1 + 0.9) x 100 [kW]
= 24.4 [kW]
Prb = PDb x Ptotal
= 1.1 / (1.0 + 1.1 + 1.1 + 0.9) x 100 [kW]
= 26.8 [kW]
Prc = PDc x Ptotal
= 1.1 / (1.0 + 1.1 + 1.1 + 0.9) x 100 [kW]
= 26.8 [kW]
Prd = PDd x Ptotal
= 0.9 / (1.0 + 1.1 + 1.1 + 0.9) x 100 [kW]
= 22.0 [kW]
Is calculated as.

In this flow rate distribution ratio calculation, the flow rate distribution ratio is made smaller for the steam generator having a larger output coefficient, and the flow rate distribution ratio is made larger for the steam generator having a smaller output coefficient so that the sum of the flow rate distribution ratios is 1.

その後、流量配分制御部１０ｂは、蒸気生成システムの必要流量と流量配分比をもとに各蒸気生成装置２の流量設定値を決定し、各蒸気生成装置２の各流量調整弁５ａ〜５ｄに指示する（ステップＳ２０３）。その後、システム停止の指示があったか否かを判断する（ステップＳ２０４）。システム停止の指示がない場合（ステップＳ２０４，Ｎｏ）には、ステップＳ２０３に移行して上述した処理を繰り返し、システム停止の指示があった場合（ステップＳ２０４，Ｙｅｓ）には、本処理を終了する。 After that, the flow rate distribution control unit 10b determines the flow rate set value of each steam generation device 2 based on the required flow rate of the steam generation system and the flow rate distribution ratio, and sets the flow rate adjusting valves 5a to 5d of each steam generation device 2 to each.
