- The absorption heat pump may absorb waste heat from a heat source medium and then drain the heat source medium, thus being environmentally friendly; may semi-permanently use the refrigerant and the absorbent (hereinafter, “LiBr solution”); and has an advantage of low maintenance cost.
- The absorption heat pump may include a generator to heat a diluted solution fed from an absorber and isolate a refrigerant vapor, a condenser to condense and liquefy the refrigerant vapor transferred from the regenerator, an evaporator to spray the refrigerant liquid transferred from the condenser over a chilled water inlet line in order to evaporate the same, and an absorber to enable the refrigerant vapor transferred from the absorber to be absorbed into a concentrated solution transferred from the generator.
- The background art of the present invention has been disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2009-0103740 (Laid-Open on Oct. 1, 2009; entitled “absorption heat pump”).
- The absorption heat pump in the prior art uses only a single cycle consisting of an evaporator, an absorber, a regenerator and a condenser, and entails a problem of limitation in increasing a temperature of hot water outflow from the condenser.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram illustrating absorption heat pump type II system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , the high-efficiency heat pump system having increased utilization rate of a waste heat source according to one embodiment of the present invention may include: anevaporator 10 to which a waste heatsource inlet line 12 through which a waste heat source inflows, is connected to absorb thermal energy from the waste heat source, and to which arefrigerant inlet line 76 a for supplying a refrigerant is connected; anabsorber 30 connected to theevaporator 10 such that steam evaporated in theevaporator 10 is fed thereto, to which a hotwater inlet line 32 and a hotwater outlet line 34 extending from aflash tank 34 a are connected; ahigh temperature regenerator 50 through which a waste heat source divideline 12 a branching off from the waste heatsource inlet line 12 passes, which heats an LiBr solution fed to the absorber 30 and regenerates the same, and is provided with aconcentrated solution line 52 for supplying the LiBr solution to theabsorber 30; anauxiliary absorber 54 to which the steam evaporated from thehigh temperature regenerator 50 is transferred and which is connected to thehigh temperature regenerator 50 in order to cool the steam and circulate the same; alow temperature regenerator 70 to which anintermediate solution line 72 is connected to supply the LiBr solution to thehigh temperature regenerator 50, through which a waste heat source return line 14 extending from theevaporator 10 passes, and to which a dilutedsolution line 36 extending from theabsorber 30 is connected; acondenser 76 through which a chilledwater inlet line 56 for supplying the cooling water passes such that the steam evaporated from thelow temperature regenerator 70 is fed and cooled therein, and which is connected to thelow temperature regenerator 70; and anauxiliary regenerator 80 to which anauxiliary solution line 82 is connected to supply auxiliary LiBr solution to theauxiliary absorber 54, through which the waste heat source divideline 12 a passes, and to which an auxiliary dilutedsolution line 58 extending from theauxiliary absorber 54 is connected. - The heat pump according to the present embodiment is a device to recover thermal energy from a waste heat source while passing the waste heat source discharged from a facility such as a power plant wherein a high temperature process proceeds through the same, thereby enabling the recovered thermal energy to be recycled in industrial processes.
- The waste heat source fed to the
evaporator 10 through the waste heatsource inlet line 12 may be evaporated as steam when the refrigerant passing through theevaporator 10 is in contact with the waste heatsource inlet line 12 bent in a heat exchanger shape and absorbs thermal energy, and the steam may move to the absorber 30 through a 1st eliminator and supply the thermal energy to hot water when the refrigerant is in contact with the hotwater inlet line 32 passing through theabsorber 30. - Herein, the LiBr solution spraying inside the absorber 30 through a concentrated
solution distribution nozzle 52 a may be instantaneously heated under pressure conditions in theevaporator 10 and the absorber 30, in particular, by a high pressure of about 400 mmHg, and may be in contact with the hotwater inlet line 32 passing through theabsorber 30, thereby supplying the hot water at about 125 to 135° C. After supplying the thermal energy to the hotwater inlet line 32, the LiBr solution is changed into a low temperature diluted solution in decreased concentration, is discharged through the dilutedsolution line 36, is fed to thelow temperature regenerator 70, and is in contact with the waste heat source return line 14 extending from theevaporator 10, thereby absorbing the thermal energy again from the waste heat source. - The waste heat
source inlet line 12 may be provided with the waste heat source divideline 12 a branching off from one side of the inlet line, wherein the waste heat source divideline 12 a passes through thehigh temperature regenerator 50 and is subjected to heat exchange with the LiBr solution fed from thelow temperature regenerator 70. In this regard, the LiBr solution discharged from thehigh temperature regenerator 50 is fed to the absorber 30 along theconcentrated solution line 52 and subjected to heat exchange with the hotwater inlet line 32 to facilitate efficient heating of the hot water. - The steam evaporated from the high temperature regenerator passes through a 2nd
eliminator 24, is fed to theauxiliary absorber 54 and is in contact with the chilledwater inlet lines - The refrigerant cooled in the
condenser 76 is fed to the evaporator through therefrigerant inlet line 76 a, and absorbs thermal energy from the waste heat source while being in contact with the waste heatsource inlet line 12 to thus be evaporated. Then, the evaporated steam moves to the absorber 30 and thus may heat the hot water. - According to the present embodiment, the
evaporator 10 absorbs the thermal energy from the waste heat source and supplies the absorbed thermal energy to the absorber. Then, thehigh temperature regenerator 50 and thelow temperature regenerator 70 receive the thermal energy from the waste heat source and heat the LiBr solution discharged from theabsorber 30 to increase a concentration of the LiBr solution, that is, perform a reproduction process. - Further, the LiBr solution fed under pressure from the
low temperature regenerator 70 is supplied to thehigh temperature regenerator 50 and is heated by the waste heat source and converted into a concentrated solution. The LiBr solution-based concentrated solution is fed to the absorber 30, heated under a high pressure at a high temperature and sprayed. - Accordingly, the high temperature steam fed from the
evaporator 10 and the high temperature LiBr solution sprayed from the concentratedsolution distribution nozzle 52 a may be in contact with the hotwater inlet line 32 inside theabsorber 30, thereby supplying hot water at a high temperature. - Further, since the
concentrated solution line 52 in the present embodiment passes through a high temperaturesolution heat exchanger 36 a disposed in thediluted solution line 36, heat exchange may be performed between the LiBr solution discharged from theabsorber 30 and the LiBr solution discharged from thehigh temperature regenerator 50. Further, the thermal energy of the LiBr solution in theabsorber 30, which is at a relatively high temperature, is absorbed by the LiBr solution in thehigh temperature regenerator 50, which in turn is heated and supplied to theabsorber 30. - Accordingly, a recovery operation may be performed such that the thermal energy of the LiBr solution discharged from the absorber 30 without heat exchange is circulated back to the
absorber 30. - Further, the
intermediate solution line 72 passes through a low temperaturesolution heat exchanger 36 b disposed in the dilutedsolution line 36 and may perform recovery of the thermal energy twice from the LiBr solution discharged from the absorber 30 through heat exchange between the LiBr solution discharged from theabsorber 30 and the LiBr solution discharged from thelow temperature regenerator 70. - Since the concentrated
solution distribution nozzle 52 a connected to theconcentrated solution line 52 to spray the LiBr solution throughout the inside of theabsorber 30 is disposed in theabsorber 30, the refrigerant may be uniformly in contact with the entire portion of the heat exchanger in the hotwater inlet line 32 disposed in theabsorber 30. Further, arefrigerant distribution nozzle 16 a is disposed in theevaporator 10 and, when the refrigerant fed to theevaporator 10 is supplied again along arefrigerant circulation line 16, the refrigerant sprayed from therefrigerant distribution nozzle 16 a may be uniformly sprayed throughout a coil connected to the waste heatsource inlet line 12. - The
high temperature regenerator 50 is provided with an intermediatesolution distribution nozzle 74 connected to theintermediate solution line 72 wherein the LiBr solution circulating in thelow temperature regenerator 70 may be uniformly sprayed throughout the heat exchanger connected to theintermediate solution line 72, thereby performing effective heat exchange. - The
low temperature regenerator 70 is provided with a dilutedsolution distribution nozzle 36 c connected to the dilutedsolution line 36 wherein the LiBr solution may be uniformly sprayed throughout the heat exchanger connected to the waste heat source return line 14, thereby performing effective heat exchange operation. - Further, the
auxiliary solution line 82 in the present embodiment passes through the auxiliarysolution heat exchanger 58 a disposed in the auxiliary dilutedsolution line 58, so that the auxiliary LiBr solution discharged from theauxiliary absorber 54 and the auxiliary LiBr solution discharged from theauxiliary regenerator 80 may be subjected to heat exchange inside the auxiliarysolution heat exchanger 58 a and, at the same time, the auxiliary LiBr solution in the auxiliary regenerator may be cooled by the auxiliary LiBr solution in theauxiliary absorber 54, which is at a relatively low temperature. - Accordingly, the auxiliary LiBr solution cooled while being subjected to heat exchange with the cooling water inside the
auxiliary absorber 54 may cool the refrigerant discharged from theauxiliary regenerator 80, and further may be sprayed into the heat exchanger disposed in theauxiliary regenerator 80 through the auxiliary diluted solution distribution nozzle 58 b disposed in theauxiliary regenerator 80 and cool the waste heat source discharged along the waste heat source divideline 12 a. - As described above, since the waste heat source discharged along the waste heat source divide
line 12 a is subjected to heat exchange inside theauxiliary regenerator 80 by the refrigerant cooled using the cooling water, the waste heat source discharged from the heat pump may be prevented from being discharged at a higher temperature than a predetermined temperature. - Further, the
low temperature regenerator 70 and thecondenser 76 in the present embodiment may be integrally installed to be connected and flow through each other by a 3rd eliminator. Further, thecondenser 76 and theauxiliary regenerator 80 may be integrally installed to be connected and flow through each other by a 4th eliminator 28. As a result, when the LiBr solution sprayed from the dilutedsolution distribution nozzle 36 c in thelow temperature regenerator 70 through which the waste heat source return line passes, is evaporated, the evaporated LiBr solution may move to thecondenser 76 through the 3rd eliminator, be cooled therein, and be cooled again and liquefied while being in contact with the heat exchanger in the chilledwater inlet line 56 passing through thecondenser 76. - The refrigerant liquefied in the
condenser 76 may be fed to the evaporator along therefrigerant inlet line 76 a, and subjected to heat exchange in order to absorb thermal energy from the waste heat source while being in contact with the heat exchanger in the waste heatsource inlet line 12 by therefrigerant distribution nozzle 16 a. - The LiBr solution regenerated into a concentrated solution with increased concentration by absorbing the thermal energy in the
high temperature regenerator 50 may be supplied again to the concentratedsolution distribution nozzle 52 a in theabsorber 30 along theconcentrated solution line 52 and then sprayed in the heat exchanger in the hotwater inlet line 32, thereby exhibiting effects of heating hot water in two-stages. - Further, the
auxiliary regenerator 80 may be integrally installed with thecondenser 76 to be connected and flow through each other by the 4th eliminator 28, so that steam evaporated while being in contact with the heat exchanger of thewaste heat branch 12 in theauxiliary regenerator 80 may move to thecondenser 76, be cooled and liquefied while being in contact with the heat exchanger in the chilledwater inlet line 56 passing through thecondenser 76, and then, be sprayed into the heat exchanger in the waste heatsource inlet line 12 disposed in theevaporator 10 through therefrigerant distribution nozzle 16 a disposed in theevaporator 10, along therefrigerant inlet line 76 a. -
Numerals solution distribution nozzle 52 a disposed in theabsorber 30 and connected to theconcentration solution line 52, and an auxiliarysolution distribution nozzle 84 disposed in theauxiliary absorber 54 and connected to theauxiliary solution line 82, respectively. - As such, it is possible to supply steam or hot water required in industrial processes by circulating two kinds of working fluids consisting of a refrigerant and an LiBr solution to absorb thermal energy from the waste heat source. Further, it is possible to provide absorption heat pump type II system wherein two regeneration cycles for circulating the LiBr solution are associated with a refrigerant circulation cycle so as to efficiently recover waste heat.
- Although the present invention has been described by one embodiment shown in the drawing by reference, this is proposed for illustrative purposes only and it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, to which the present invention pertains, that various modifications and other equivalents are possible from the above embodiment.
- Further, although a high-efficiency absorption heat pump system with increased utilization rate of a waste heat source has been described, this is proposed as an illustrative embodiment only, and the heat pump system of the present invention may also be applied to different products other than such a high-efficiency absorption heat pump system having increased utilization rate of a waste heat source as described above.
