Description

Adsorption dehumidification process method and device Technical field

The invention relates to a dehumidification technology applicable to industries such as thermal energy, chemical industry, metallurgy, electronics, machinery and light industry, and more particularly to a process and device for adsorption and dehumidification.

Background technique

Dehumidification techniques are commonly used to treat wet gases to obtain a dry gas. In addition to the common dehumidification of human settlements, air dehumidification in various facilities such as factory floors and warehouses, many industrial sectors often require chemical feed gas, energy gases such as natural gas and gas, and various industrial gases for various purposes. Dehumidification treatment is carried out. For example, in chemical production, the raw material gas needs to be dehumidified to below -60 ° C dew point to prevent moisture from degrading the activity of the catalyst. In the energy industry, dehumidification of compressed natural gas is mainly to prevent the formation of natural gas hydrate, which needs to be in the steel industry. Blast furnace blasting uses air to dehumidify to improve the quality of steel products. The compressed air produced by compressed air stations commonly used in electronics and machinery industries must be dehumidified before use. In addition, the purpose of treating the moisture-containing gas by the dehumidification technique is sometimes to collect moisture from the moisture-containing gas.

There are currently three main types of industrial dehumidification equipment: refrigerated, adsorption, and absorption. Freezing and dehumidification is to cool the gas below the dew point to cause moisture to coagulate and precipitate. The advantage of freezing and dehumidification is that the amount of dehumidification is large, and the disadvantage is that the price of the refrigeration equipment is high and the power consumption is large. When the temperature is lower than about 15 ° C, the dehumidification capacity is obviously decreased, the frost is easy to be formed, and the refrigeration compressor is operated with a large noise. Absorption and dehumidification is to absorb water with a liquid hygroscopic agent such as triethylene glycol or lithium chloride solution, and the disadvantage is that the corrosion is large. Adsorption dehumidification is the adsorption of moisture from a gas by a solid hygroscopic agent. Silica gel is the most commonly used moisture absorbent with a moisture absorption of up to 40% of its own weight. Other moisture absorbents include zeolite molecular sieves, activated alumina, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, lithium chloride, etc., which are usually in the form of granules or bonded to a substrate or a support material by bonding, sol-gel or the like. Layered and so on. The adsorption dehumidifier is a dehumidification device containing a solid moisture absorbent, and the solid moisture absorbent can be loaded in the range of several kilograms to several hundred kilograms, and the basic forms thereof are a fixed bed type, a moving bed type, a fluidized bed type, and a rotating bed type (such as dehumidification conversion). Wheels, etc., its special form has multi-stage moving bed type, multi-stage fluidized bed type, double fluidized bed type and so on. Prior to 1900, industrial-scale fixed bed adsorption dehumidification devices have been used in air and industrial gas dehumidification applications. Around 1960, rotary bed adsorption dehumidification devices began to be used for air humidity conditioning in residential and industrial facilities. The advantage of adsorption dehumidification is that the equipment cost is low, and the dehumidification effect is better when the temperature is lower. The disadvantage is that the heating regeneration process after the moisture absorption agent is saturated has a large energy consumption.

The main difficulties in industrial heating of regenerative hygroscopic agents are:

(1) Desorption heat (heat required for moisture to be desorbed into the gas phase from the moisture absorbent) is greater than latent heat of vaporization (heat required for evaporation of liquid water). For silica gel, the desorption heat is approximately 2500 kJ/kg-water. Regenerative heating must provide sufficient heat to meet the endothermic demand for moisture desorption.

(2) The moisture absorbent is a poor conductor of heat. For example, the thermal conductivity of silica gel is only 0.14 W/m·K (corresponding to the thermal conductivity of asbestos insulation material). Heating the temperature of the moisture absorbent particles is a relatively slow process.

微孔孔容达0.6-1cm³/g，内表面积达600-800m²/g。吸湿剂吸附的水分是被储留在这些微孔内。加热再生时，这些水分必须从微孔向外扩散才能进入气相。微孔扩散是一个极为缓慢的过程，通常为吸湿剂脱水再生过程的速率控制步骤。(3) Most of the moisture absorbent is a microporous material. For example, the average pore diameter of silica gel is

The microporous pore volume is 0.6-1 cm ³ /g, and the internal surface area is 600-800 m ² /g. The moisture adsorbed by the moisture absorbent is retained in these pores. When heated for regeneration, this moisture must diffuse out of the micropores to enter the gas phase. Micropore diffusion is an extremely slow process, usually a rate controlling step in the desiccant dehydration regeneration process.

(4) The regeneration temperature is generally higher than 100 ° C and lower than the heat resistant temperature of the moisture absorbent. For example, the regeneration temperature of silica gel is about 100-150 ° C, and the heat-resistant temperature is about 200-250 ° C (the regeneration temperature and heat-resistant temperature of different moisture absorbent products are different). Try to be even when regenerative heating. If the local overheating exceeds the heat resistant temperature, the structure of the moisture absorbent will be destroyed and the performance will be degraded.

For a long time, the regenerative heating method commonly used in the industry is the hot air regeneration method (or hot air regeneration method, hot gas regeneration method). For example, the regeneration process of the fixed bed air dehumidifier is generally: passing air heated to about 150 ° C into the dehumidifier to gradually increase the temperature of the moisture absorbent bed to a regeneration temperature of about 100 ° C, and the preheating heating process generally requires 0.5 to 1 hour; after the hygroscopic agent bed reaches the regeneration temperature, the hot air of 150 ° C is continuously supplied to provide the heat required for moisture desorption, and the hot air of 150 ° C releases the sensible heat to the moisture absorbent bed and then cools to about 80 ° C, the hygroscopic agent. The moisture desorbed from the bed is carried to the outside by hot air at about 80 ° C, and the desorption process generally takes more than 2 hours. The advantage of the hot air regeneration method is that the moisture absorbent bed can obtain relatively uniform heating. The disadvantage is that a large amount of hot air must be supplied to provide sufficient heat, and the exhaust gas is continuously discharged throughout the regeneration process, so that the energy consumption is large.

Summary of the invention

The present invention provides an adsorption dehumidification scheme with low energy consumption for removing moisture from a gas in order to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art.

This solution has the necessary technical features of circulating heating, circulating dehydration regeneration, moisture removal, and cooling.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an adsorption dehumidification process, firstly introducing a moisture-containing gas into an adsorption dehumidifier for dehumidification treatment, and then dehydrating the moisture absorbent adsorbed inside the dehumidifier. The regeneration is characterized in that the dehydration regeneration of the moisture adsorbing moisture adsorbing inside the dehumidifier comprises the following steps:

Step 1: circulating heating to increase the temperature, so that the gas circulates between the moisture absorbent and the regenerative heater, and transfers the heat provided by the regenerative heater to the moisture absorbent, thereby heating the moisture absorbent to reach the regeneration temperature;

Step 2: Circulating dehydration regeneration, continuing to circulate the gas between the adsorption dehumidifier and the regenerative heater, transferring the heat provided by the regenerative heater to the moisture absorbent to maintain the regeneration temperature of the moisture absorbent, and the moisture diffusing to the gas phase after being heated by the moisture absorbent The moisture content of the circulating gas circulating between the moisture absorbent and the regenerative heater is gradually increased;

Step 3: Drain the water.

Step 4: Cool and cool the moisture absorbent to room temperature.

Wherein, step 3 is carried out intermittently or continuously. When the moisture content of the circulating gas reaches 60 g/kg-dry gas or more, that is, when the moisture content is ≥60 g/kg-dry gas, it is carried out in step one or step two. At the same time, start the operation of step three.

Preferably, when the moisture content of the circulating gas reaches 150 g/kg-dry gas or more, that is, the moisture content is ≥150 g/kg-dry gas, the operation of the third step is started while the first step or the second step is performed.

Further, in the third step, the water is discharged in one of the following ways: (a) condensed drainage mode: condensing a part of the circulating gas in the regeneration circuit, the condensed water is collected or discharged outward; (b) directly Emission method: a part of the circulating gas in the regeneration circuit is discharged to the outside. When it is necessary to recover the circulating gas and/or moisture, the discharged circulating gas is condensed, the condensed water is collected or discharged, and the non-condensed gas is recovered or External emissions.

Based on the above dehumidification process, the present invention also discloses the following adsorption dehumidification device: an adsorption dehumidification device comprising a dehumidification gas path, the dehumidification gas line connected with an inlet to be dehumidified gas, an adsorption dehumidifier, a dehumidified gas outlet, the dehumidification gas There are also several valves on the road. In the prior art, a dehumidifying fan is generally disposed on the dehumidifying gas path, and the humid gas is sent to the dehumidifying gas path through the dehumidifying fan and flows through the adsorption dehumidifier. Since the adsorbing dehumidifier contains a moisture absorbent inside, The moisture-containing gas can be dried, and the moisture-containing gas is dried and dehumidified, and then discharged from the dehumidified gas outlet to the outside, and further includes a regeneration circuit, a regenerative heater, a circulation fan, and a drainage device, and the circulation fan and the regenerative heater are disposed. In the regeneration circuit, the circulation fan can cause the gas on the regeneration circuit to flow, and the regeneration heater enables the flowing gas on the regeneration circuit to be heated by the regeneration heater. With the continuous operation of the dehumidification gas path, the moisture absorbent in the adsorption dehumidifier is gradually saturated, and in order to heat-regenerate the moisture absorbent, it can be heated by the hot gas in the regeneration circuit, and therefore, the regeneration circuit turns on the adsorption. At the input end and the output end of the dehumidification device, gas can circulate between the regeneration circuit and the adsorption dehumidifier and exchange heat, and finally the moisture absorbent inside the adsorption dehumidifier can be dehydrated and regenerated. In addition, since the dehumidification gas path is further provided with a plurality of valves, when the dehumidification device performs dehumidification work, the dehumidification gas path and the regeneration circuit may be separated by a valve, and the regeneration circuit does not work; when the adsorption dehumidification device performs regeneration work When the valve is opened, the regeneration circuit is connected to the adsorption dehumidifier, so that the gas can be circulated between the regeneration circuit and the adsorption dehumidifier. During the circulation, the gas in the adsorption dehumidifier can be blocked by the valve to be discharged through the dehumidification gas path. The dehumidified gas outlet ensures that the adsorption dehumidifier can be fully recirculated and dehydrated. The gas circulates between the moisture absorbent and the regenerative heater to transfer the heat provided by the regenerative heater to the moisture absorbent to maintain the regeneration temperature of the moisture absorbent. The moisture absorbing agent particles are heated to diffuse moisture to the gas phase, and the moisture absorbent and the regenerative heater are The moisture content of the circulating gas flowing in between is gradually increased.

It should be noted that the "adsorption dehumidifier" includes all types of adsorption dehumidifiers. For example, when the adsorption dehumidifier is a single tower fixed bed type, the adsorption dehumidification device is an intermittent dehumidification device alternately performed by dehumidification and regeneration; and when the adsorption dehumidifier is a rotary bed type, the adsorption dehumidification device It is a continuous dehumidification device.

Since the drainage device is in communication with the regeneration circuit, and further, the drainage device includes an exhaust port or a condenser, the exhaust port or condenser is connected to a regeneration circuit, and the condenser is further provided with condensed water discharge Therefore, during the cyclic dehydration, when the moisture content of the circulating gas reaches a certain level, the opening degree of the valve can be adjusted, and the humid hot gas circulating in the regeneration circuit is intermittently or continuously flowed into the condenser, and the hot humid gas is contained. After flowing through the condenser, the water vapor of the gas is condensed, the condensed water is discharged/collected from the condensed water discharge port, and the humid hot gas is thus dried; the regeneration circuit continues to perform the above-mentioned operation of circulating dehydration regeneration and discharge of water until After the non-condensed water is discharged, the next cooling operation is performed. When the adsorption dehumidifier is heated and regenerated, the heat transfer operation of the regenerative heater can be stopped, and the gas in the regeneration circuit can continue to flow between the condenser and the adsorption dehumidifier. Therefore, the adsorption dehumidifier is cooled, or the cooling gas is directly introduced into the dehumidification gas path, and the adsorption dehumidifier is directly cooled and sucked. After the dehumidifier is cooled to normal temperature, it will enter the next operation cycle. It should be noted that the "drainage device" in the present invention means a device that discharges moisture or water vapor.

Preferably, the interior of the adsorption dehumidifier is composed of a plurality of mutually separated absorbent absorbent beds, and the regenerative heater comprises a heat exchange tube, and the heat exchange tube passes through the interior of the adsorption dehumidifier and avoids A bed of absorbent. During the heating and regenerating operation, the heating medium can be introduced into the heat exchange tube. During the dehumidification operation, the cooling medium can be introduced into the heat exchange tube, so that a heating regeneration and cooling treatment method for the adsorption dehumidifier can be additionally provided. To make the adsorption dehumidification device more practical.

Preferably, the regeneration circuit is disposed inside the adsorption dehumidifier, that is, the regeneration circuit turns on the input end and the output end of the adsorption dehumidifier from the inside of the adsorption dehumidifier, and is composed of two interconnected cavities inside the adsorption dehumidifier, The dehumidification fan drives a gas to circulate between the two cavities, wherein the two cavities are provided with a moisture absorbent bed, and the regenerative heater comprises a heat exchange tube, and the heat exchange tube passes through the The interior of the dehumidifier is adsorbed and the bed of absorbent is avoided. The beneficial effect is that the external circulation pipe and the valve are omitted, thereby reducing the heat loss. The regenerative heater includes a heat exchange tube, and the heat exchange tube passes through the inside of the adsorption dehumidifier and avoids the In the moisture absorbent bed, the heating medium can be introduced into the heat exchange tube during the heating regeneration operation, and the cooling medium can be introduced into the heat exchange tube during the dehumidification operation.

Further, since the working mode of the adsorption dehumidification device is intermittent, that is, since only one adsorption dehumidification device and one dehumidification gas path are disposed in the dehumidification device, when the adsorption dehumidifier needs to be heated and regenerated, the valve must pass through the valve first. The air outlet of the dehumidifier fan and the dehumidified gas outlet are closed, so that the dehumidification gas path cannot be dehumidified, and the adsorption dehumidifier can be heated and regenerated by the regeneration circuit, and the dehumidification device is adsorbed during the heating regeneration, so that the dehumidification operation cannot be performed, so the The number of dehumidification paths is at least two, and each dehumidification gas path is connected in parallel with each other and separated by the plurality of valves, and the regeneration circuit respectively turns on the adsorption dehumidifiers on the respective dehumidification gas paths, and the gas can be separately Circulating flow and heat exchange between any one of the adsorption dehumidifiers and the regeneration circuit. The purpose is that when one dehumidification gas path works, the other dehumidification gas path can be temporarily closed by the valve, and the dehumidification gas path is isolated from each other, that is, the adsorption dehumidifiers are also isolated from each other. Therefore, when a dehumidification gas path is dehumidified, When the relevant valve is closed and isolated from the regeneration circuit, another dehumidification gas path is separately connected to the regeneration circuit by opening the relevant valve, thereby performing heating regeneration operation, according to the above In the manner, each of the adsorption dehumidifiers can alternately perform the dehumidification work and the heating regeneration, so that the adsorption dehumidification device can continuously perform the dehumidification work without interruption, and is more progressive.

Further, although the alternating switching operation of the two adsorption dehumidifiers is involved, the above-mentioned adsorption dehumidification device capable of continuously performing the dehumidification work is still lacking in environmental protection and energy conservation. First, it must be recognized that the adsorption dehumidifier performs dehumidification work and gradually reaches saturation. After that, the temperature is not high, and in the subsequent heating and regeneration process, the temperature is raised from normal temperature to 100 ° C. Each heating regeneration operation requires the regenerative heater to consume a large amount of energy; on the other hand, after the regeneration is completed The adsorption dehumidifier has a temperature of about 100 ° C, and needs to be cooled to normal temperature to be put into the dehumidification operation. In the prior art, the cooling air is passed to the adsorption dehumidifier after the regeneration is completed, and the generated hot air is directly discharged to the outside. The sensible heat of the adsorption dehumidifier is completely wasted; in combination with the above reasons, the dehumidification gas path is at least three, and each of the adsorption dehumidifiers is connected with a regenerative gas path. Similarly, in practical applications, the regenerative gas path can be Providing a circulation fan to cause gas to circulate between the two adsorption dehumidifiers through the regenerative gas path, so that the two suctions Dehumidifier can exchange heat. Therefore, by switching the two adsorption dehumidifiers through the regenerative gas path, heat exchange between the two adsorption dehumidifiers can be performed, especially for the adsorption dehumidifier just after the heating regeneration is completed and the heating regeneration is ready. The heat exchange between the adsorption dehumidifiers transfers the high heat of the adsorption dehumidifier that has just completed the heating regeneration to the adsorption dehumidifier to be heated and regenerated, and the adsorption dehumidifier to be heated and regenerated is sufficiently preheated before the heating regeneration. The remaining dehumidification gas path continues to perform the dehumidification work. Therefore, more than three dehumidification gas paths can be alternately switched in the above manner, so that the waste heat can be fully utilized while ensuring that the dehumidification device can continuously perform dehumidification work. The energy required for the regenerative heater is reduced, the energy consumption for regenerative heating of the dehumidification device is reduced, and the device is environmentally friendly and energy-saving.

Further, the adsorption dehumidifier is a dehumidification runner, the dehumidification gas path is connected to the moisture absorption zone of the dehumidification runner, and the regeneration circuit is connected to the regeneration zone of the dehumidification runner. It should be noted that, in the prior art, the interior of the dehumidification runner is made of a moisture absorbing material, and the surface of the dehumidification runner is separated by a moisture absorption zone and a regeneration zone, and the dehumidification runner can drive the moisture absorbing material in each through the rotation of the movable part. Inter-zone circulation rotation, in the use of the prior art, the interface of one end of the dehumidification wheel moisture absorption zone is connected to the air supply port of the dehumidification fan, and the interface of the other end is connected to the dehumidified gas outlet, thus forming Dehumidification road. As the runner rotates, the portion of the runner in the moisture absorption zone is transferred to the regeneration zone, and the circulation fan in the regeneration circuit is continuously operated to circulate the regeneration gas between the regeneration heater and the regeneration zone to maintain the regeneration temperature of the regeneration zone. The part of the runner that has absorbed the moisture into the regeneration zone is first heated by circulating heating, and then regenerated by circulating dehydration. Then, the part of the gas that has been dehydrated and regenerated is returned to the moisture absorption zone as the rotor rotates, and the rotary dehumidification device The advantage is that the dehumidification and regeneration operations can be carried out continuously.

Further, in order to further reduce energy consumption, the adsorption and dehumidification apparatus of the present invention can also introduce a heat pump system of the prior art, and the heat pump system is a refrigerant liquid circulation system, and a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator are usually installed in the system. Wait. In the present solution, the regenerative heater is a condenser disposed on the heat pump system, so for the regeneration circuit, The condenser on the heat pump system functions as a regenerative heater; in addition, the condenser of the regeneration circuit is a first evaporator disposed on the heat pump system, and thus, for the condensation branch of the dehumidification gas path and the regeneration circuit, Played a role as a cooler.

Further, the prior art dehumidification rotor and refrigeration cycle coupling operation scheme is to set the evaporator on the dehumidification gas path before the dehumidification zone of the dehumidification runner, because the dehumidified gas at the place is normal temperature, so in the evaporator The temperature of the refrigerant liquid must be lower than about 10 ° C, thus causing a large load on the compressor. Therefore, further, the heat pump system is further provided with a second evaporator, and the second evaporator is connected in series with the first evaporator or Connected in parallel, the second evaporator is disposed on the dehumidifying gas path and between the adsorption dehumidifier and the dehumidified gas outlet. After the first evaporator and the second evaporator are connected, both function as heat absorption, and the second evaporator is located between the adsorption dehumidifier and the dehumidified gas outlet, and can be absorbed from the adsorption dehumidifier or dehumidified on the dehumidifying gas path. The heat of the runner and the heat is returned to the heat pump system. Since the temperature of the gas after passing through the adsorption dehumidifier or the dehumidification wheel will rise, the gas continues to flow through the second evaporator and exchange heat with it, so that the refrigerant The liquid temperature can be higher than 10 ° C, so the compressor load is small.

Further, the outlet end of the second evaporator is connected to the intake end of the adsorption dehumidifier, and the dehumidified gas flowing through the second evaporator can be returned to the adsorption dehumidifier to reduce the adsorption dehumidifier. The temperature is effective to improve the dehumidification effect.

Further, the regeneration circuit is provided with an air inlet for replenishing the regeneration circuit or adding a cooling gas. When the regeneration circuit needs supplementary gas, the valve on the inflation channel may be opened, and a part of the gas to be dehumidified or dehumidified from the external gas or other gas source or the dehumidification gas path may be intermittently or continuously through the inflation channel. The ground is replenished into a regenerative circuit that is heated by circulation.

Further, an exhaust port for reducing the air pressure of the regeneration circuit is connected to the regeneration circuit. When the dehumidification device is used for air dehumidification, the dehumidification operation is generally atmospheric pressure, and is used for dehumidification treatment of energy gas, chemical raw material gas and industrial gas, the dehumidification operation is generally operated under pressurized conditions, and the regeneration circuit is circulated during regeneration operation. The heated gas is the same kind of gas during the dehumidification operation, and the pressure in the adsorption dehumidifier and the regeneration circuit may increase during the regeneration operation due to the pressure rise caused by the increase in the temperature of the gas during regenerative heating, and the water in the adsorbed state. The pressure rise caused by the conversion to water vapor depends on the pressure level of the equipment such as the adsorption dehumidifier, the regenerative heater, the circulation fan, etc., and the adsorption dehumidifier and/or the regeneration circuit may be under pressure and need to be decompressed. The regenerative circuit can be connected to the outside by using a pressure regulating tube. The exhaust pipe is provided with a regulating valve, and the regulating valve can be opened to discharge part of the circulating gas. The available forms include a manual valve, a solenoid valve, a self-operated pressure regulating valve or A valve controlled by a PLC that operates according to a pressure and/or humidity sensor signal. When dehumidifying the air, the exhaust port of the pressure regulating tube leads to Gas, or a gas carrying energy, chemical raw material gas, when the industrial gas dehumidified air outlet pipe may lead to surge recovery apparatus.

Based on the same technical features as the above-mentioned solutions, and further extending the applicability of the above solutions, the present invention also discloses another adsorption and dehumidification device, including a dehumidification gas path, and the dehumidification gas line is connected with an inlet to be dehumidified gas and an adsorption dehumidifier. , the dehumidified gas outlet, the dehumidification gas path is also provided with a plurality of valves, and also includes a regeneration circuit, regeneration plus a heat exchanger, and a regenerative heater disposed on the regeneration circuit, the regeneration circuit turning on an input end and an output end of the adsorption dehumidifier, the regeneration circuit being arranged to generate heat through the regenerative heater The gas is driven to circulate on the regeneration circuit, that is, the air pressure difference is formed on the regeneration circuit, so that the gas can be controlled to flow from a position where the air pressure is relatively large to a position where the air pressure is small, thereby realizing a natural convection heat exchange mode, thereby not only eliminating the need for The circulation fan has the function of heating and regenerating the adsorption dehumidifier. When the heater heats up at the same time, the internal pressure of the adsorption dehumidifier can be increased, and the gas is discharged and sent to the condensation branch connected to the regeneration circuit. And condensing and drying the mixture through a condenser. Likewise, since the drainage device is in communication with the regeneration circuit, the drainage device includes an exhaust port or a condenser that is connected to the regeneration circuit, thus during circulation dehydration, when the circulating gas is contained When the moisture content reaches a certain level, the opening degree of the valve can be adjusted, and the humid hot gas circulating in the regeneration circuit is intermittently or continuously flowed into the condenser, and the moisture containing the humidified hot gas flows through the condenser, and the vapor of the gas is condensed. The condensed water is discharged/collected from the condensate discharge port of the condenser, and the humid hot gas is thus dried; the regeneration circuit continues to perform the above-mentioned operation of circulating dehydration regeneration and draining water until the condensed water is discharged, and then proceeds to the next step. In the cooling operation, when the adsorption dehumidifier is heated and regenerated, the heat transfer operation of the regenerative heater can be stopped, and the gas in the regeneration circuit can continue to circulate between the condenser and the adsorption dehumidifier to cool the adsorption dehumidifier, or directly to The dehumidification device is directly cooled by the cooling gas, and the dehumidifier is cooled to the normal temperature and then enters the next step. Operation cycle.

Preferably, the regeneration circuit is composed of two interconnected cavities inside the adsorption dehumidifier, wherein the two chambers are provided with a moisture absorbent bed, and the regenerative heaters are respectively disposed in the two cavities And avoiding the moisture absorbent bed.

Based on the same technical features as the above solutions, and further expanding the applicability of the above solution, the present invention also discloses another adsorption dehumidification device, including a moisture removal gas inlet, an adsorption dehumidifier, a dehumidified gas outlet, and a regeneration circuit. a regenerative heater, a circulation fan, a drainage device, and an annular gas path, the number of the adsorption dehumidifiers being several and serially connected to the annular gas path, and the exhaust ends of the respective adsorption dehumidifiers respectively turn on the dehumidified a gas outlet, an inlet end of each adsorption dehumidifier is respectively connected to the inlet of the moisture to be dehumidified, a valve is arranged between each adsorption dehumidifier, and the circulation fan and the regenerative heater are disposed on the regeneration circuit, and the regeneration The circuit respectively turns on the input end and the output end of each of the adsorption dehumidifiers, and the circulation fan drives the gas to circulate on the regeneration circuit, and the drainage device is connected to the regeneration circuit, and the drainage device includes an exhaust port or a condenser. The exhaust port or condenser is connected to the regeneration circuit.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

(1) Circulating heating:

The sensible heat loss of the prior art hot air regeneration method in the preheating temperature rise period accounts for about 40% of the heat supplied by the regenerative heater. In the circulating heating and heating process of the adsorption dehumidification device of the invention, it is not necessary to discharge the exhaust gas outward, and the sensible heat loss of the exhaust gas is avoided. The only heat loss during the heating process of the circulating heating is the heat loss of the outer surface of the device. When the device has good heat preservation, the heat loss is small. Therefore, almost all of the heat supplied by the regenerative heater in the preheating and warming phase of the present invention is effectively utilized.

(2) Circulating dehydration regeneration:

In the prior art hot air regeneration method, the exhaust gas temperature in the dehydration regeneration stage after reaching the regeneration temperature is generally 60-80 ° C, and the exhaust gas moisture content is generally below 45 g / kg - dry air. That is to say, each time 50 g of moisture is discharged, 1 kg of 60-80 ° C exhaust gas is discharged, and heat loss is large. This is mainly because the heat supplied to the desiccant bed by the sensible heat of the air is not sufficient to desorb more moisture. For example, 25 ° C, moisture content of 15g / kg, relative humidity of 75% of the outside air is heated to 150 ° C with a regenerative heater and then into the absorbent bed, 150 ° C hot air to release the sensible heat to the absorbent bed to about 80 After °C, the moisture desorbed from the moisture absorbent is discharged to the outside. The sensible heat of air from 150 ° C to 80 ° C is about 70 kJ / kg - dry air (heat loss of the outer surface of the equipment accounts for about 2.5%), and the desorption heat of water is 2500 kJ / kg - water, therefore, the above parameter status Next, the sensible heat released by 1 kg of hot air to the moisture absorbent bed is sufficient to desorb 27 g of water, and the moisture contained in the hot air is 15 g/kg, and the moisture content of the exhaust gas is 42 g/kg. In this parameter state, the sensible heat of the air from 150 ° C to 80 ° C is effectively utilized, and the sensible heat of air below 80 ° C is wasted as waste heat to the atmosphere, and the energy utilization efficiency is only 56%. For a long time, those skilled in the art believe that hot air carries desorbed moisture after regenerating the moisture absorbent by using hot air, so it is necessary to immediately discharge a large amount of hot air at a temperature of about 80 ° C to the atmosphere, and also recognize that in the hot air regeneration method. Only about half of the heat supplied by the regenerative heater is effectively utilized, and the energy consumption for regeneration is large. However, the past efforts to solve this problem are limited to how to recover the sensible heat and latent heat of the regenerative exhaust gas. The invention considers that: since the hot air regenerates the moisture absorbent after the hot air regenerates the moisture, the moisture desorbed from the moisture absorbent is less, so that it is not required to be discharged to the atmosphere immediately, and the gas can be circulated between the moisture absorbent and the regenerative heater to regenerate and heat. The heat supplied by the device is transferred to the moisture absorbent, which is discharged (or condensed) only when the circulating gas reaches a high moisture content, thus reducing exhaust gas emissions and sensible heat loss. For example: firstly, 25 ° C, moisture content 15g / kg, relative humidity 75% of the air is heated to 150 ° C with a regenerative heater, moisture content of 15g / kg, relative humidity of 2.5%, then into the absorbent bed, 150 ° C heat After the air is released to the moisture absorbent bed, the sensible heat is cooled, and the desorbed moisture is discharged from the adsorption dehumidifier at a temperature of 80 ° C, a moisture content of 42 g / kg, and a relative humidity of 13%; the air of 80 ° C enters the heat exchange component again and is heated to 150 ° C, moisture content of 42g / kg, relative humidity of 7.5%, then cycle into the adsorption dehumidifier, again discharged from the adsorption dehumidifier temperature of 80 ° C, moisture content of 69g / kg, relative humidity of 20%; so many cycles, The moisture content in the circulating gas gradually increases. When the circulating gas reaches a temperature of 80 ° C, a moisture content of 150 g / kg, and a relative humidity of 40%, it is discharged to the atmosphere, and 1 kg of hot air is discharged to the atmosphere every time 135 g of moisture is removed. The present invention significantly reduces the sensible heat loss of the exhaust gas as compared with the prior art hot air regeneration method in which 1 kg of hot air is discharged while removing 27 g of moisture. Another advantage of using the present invention is that the recycle gas contains a relatively high concentration of water vapor, and the recovery of latent heat of condensation is relatively easy.

(3) Remove the heat of adsorption:

The heat of adsorption generated during the dehumidification operation can raise the temperature of the moisture absorbent bed by about 5-10 ° C, which reduces the dehumidification effect, especially in the case of high temperature and high humidity, the adsorption dehumidification ability may be significantly reduced. The examples 2, 7, and 9 given in the specific embodiment can remove the heat of adsorption to make the dehumidification effect more stable.

(4) Recovering waste heat:

(a) Recovery of sensible heat and latent heat of the regenerated exhaust gas (or the circulating gas in the present invention):

The regenerative exhaust parameters of the prior art hot air regeneration method are generally: a temperature of 60-80 ° C, a moisture content of 45 g / kg or less, and a dew point of less than 39 ° C. Under the condition of this parameter, the conventional waste heat recovery equipment can only recover about 30% of the sensible heat of the regenerative exhaust gas, and it is difficult to recycle the latent heat. Moreover, the heat transfer temperature difference is small, and a large heat exchange area is required, which is not economically feasible. The parameters of the circulating gas in the regeneration circuit of the present invention at the outlet of the adsorption dehumidifier are generally: a temperature of 80 ° C, a moisture content of 150 g / kg or more, and a dew point of more than 60 ° C. It is easier to recover the latent heat of condensation of the circulating gas by conventional waste heat recovery equipment. Embodiments 5, 6, 7, and 9 of the present invention have the advantage of recovering sensible heat and latent heat of the circulating gas in the regeneration circuit.

(b) sensible heat recovery of the absorbent bed after completion of heating regeneration:

The adsorption dehumidifier after the completion of the heating and regeneration has a temperature of about 100 ° C, and needs to be cooled to a normal temperature to be put into the dehumidification operation. In the prior art, in the cooling operation, cold air is introduced into the adsorption dehumidifier after the regeneration is completed, and the hot air thus generated is directly discharged to the atmosphere, and the sensible heat of the adsorption dehumidifier is completely wasted. Embodiments 5 and 9 of the present invention can recover the sensible heat of the adsorption dehumidifier (or the portion of the regenerator just after regeneration) which has just been regenerated to preheat the next adsorption dehumidifier to be heated and regenerated (or to be heated and regenerated). The part of the runner) saves the heat required for regenerative heating.

(c) Recovery of heat of adsorption generated during dehumidification operation:

The heat of adsorption causes the temperature rise of the dehumidified gas to be small, and is generally difficult to utilize. In the sixth, seventh and ninth embodiments of the present invention, the temperature difference between the refrigerant/heat pump cycle working medium and the dehumidified gas can reach 20 ° C, and part of the heat of adsorption can be recovered. In the case of the low-temperature and high-humidity season in which heat supply and dehumidification are simultaneously required, the heat of adsorption increases the indoor air temperature, and in fact, the heat of adsorption is also recycled.

(5) The adsorption dehumidifier is coupled with the refrigeration or heat pump cycle:

The prior art dehumidification rotor and refrigeration or heat pump cycle coupling operation scheme is to arrange the evaporator on the dehumidification gas path before the dehumidification zone of the dehumidification runner. Since the dehumidified gas at this point is normal temperature, the working fluid temperature in the evaporator must be lower than about 10 ° C, and the compressor load is large. The invention is to set the evaporator on the dehumidified gas path after the dehumidification zone of the dehumidification rotor, where the gas temperature is higher than the gas temperature before the dehumidification zone of the dehumidification rotor, so the working medium temperature in the evaporator can be higher than 10 ° C. The compressor load is small and the adjustable range is large.

Example 1

As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of a batch dehumidification device equipped with a condenser in a regeneration circuit of the present invention, the dehumidification device The adsorption dehumidifier 1 (the moisture absorbent bed 101 composed of the moisture absorbent particles therein), the dehumidification gas inlet 10, the dehumidified gas outlet 11, the dehumidification fan 2, the circulation fan 3, the regenerative heater 6, and the condenser 7 are included. The dehumidification gas inlet 10, the dehumidification fan 2, the adsorption dehumidifier 1, and the dehumidified gas outlet 11 are connected by a pipe to constitute a dehumidification gas path. The adsorption dehumidifier 1, the circulation fan 3, and the regenerative heater 6 are connected by a pipeline to form a regeneration circuit; both ends of the condenser 7 are connected to the regeneration circuit through a pipeline to form a condensation branch, and the valves 301, 701, and 702 can be adjusted to flow through The flow rate of the condensed gas of the condenser 7, the one operation cycle of the intermittent dehumidification device includes a dehumidification and regeneration step:

(A) Dehumidification: opening the valves 108, 109, closing other valves, and operating the dehumidifying fan 2, so that the moisture to be dehumidified gas entering from the inlet 10 flows through the adsorption dehumidifier 1, and the moisture in the gas is adsorbed and removed by the moisture absorbent bed 101, and dehumidified. When the gas is discharged through the outlet 11, and the moisture absorbent bed 101 is nearly saturated, the next regeneration operation is performed.

(B) Regeneration:

(1) Circulating heating and heating: stop running the dehumidifying fan 2, open the valves 301, 602, close other valves, and operate the circulating fan 3 to circulate the gas between the adsorption dehumidifier 1 and the regenerative heater 6, and the regenerative heater 6 The supplied heat is transferred to the adsorption dehumidifier 1 to gradually warm the moisture absorbent bed 101 to the regeneration temperature.

(2) Circulating dehydration regeneration: the circulation fan 3 is continuously operated to circulate a gas between the adsorption dehumidifier 1 and the regenerative heater 6, and the heat supplied from the regenerative heater 6 is transferred to the adsorption dehumidifier 1 to maintain the moisture absorbent bed 101. Regeneration temperature. The moisture absorbing agent particles in the moisture absorbent bed 101 are heated to generate a higher partial pressure of water vapor inside the particles, and the partial pressure of the water vapor is higher than the partial pressure of water vapor in the circulating gas. Driven by the partial pressure difference of water vapor, the moisture in the moisture absorbent particles diffuses into the gas phase, and the moisture content in the circulating gas gradually increases.

(3) Exhaust moisture: During the operation of the step (1) or (2), when the moisture content of the circulating gas reaches 60 g/kg-dry gas or more, the opening degree of the valves 301, 701, and 702 can be adjusted, and the interval is intermittent. A portion of the circulating gas is passed through the condenser 7 either continuously or continuously, the vapor of the gas is condensed, and the condensed water is discharged from the discharge port 14. The operation of the above-described cyclic dehydration regeneration and discharge of moisture is continued at the same time until the next cooling operation is performed after the non-condensed water is discharged.

(4) Cooling: the regenerative heater 6 stops heating, opens the valves 108, 109, closes other valves, runs the dehumidifying fan 2, and supplies cold gas to the adsorption dehumidifier 1 for cooling; or opens the valves 602, 701, 702, and closes the other The valve, which operates the circulation fan 3, causes the gas to circulate between the adsorption dehumidifier 1 and the condenser 7 to cool the adsorption dehumidifier 1. The adsorption dehumidifier 1 is cooled to normal temperature and then enters the next operation cycle.

When the dehumidifying device is used for air dehumidification, the dehumidifying operation is generally atmospheric pressure, and when used for dehumidifying treatment of energy gas, chemical raw material gas, and industrial gas, the dehumidifying operation is generally an operation under pressurized conditions. The gas that is circulated and heated in the regeneration circuit during the regeneration operation is the same gas at the time of the dehumidification operation. The pressure in the adsorption dehumidifier and the regeneration circuit during regeneration operation may increase because (a) the pressure rise caused by the increase in gas temperature during regenerative heating, and (b) the conversion of the adsorbed water into water vapor The pressure rises, depending on the pressure level of the equipment such as adsorption dehumidifier, regenerative heater, circulating fan, etc. The dehumidifier and/or regeneration circuit may be under pressure and require reduced pressure. Preferably, the apparatus of Figure 1 and all embodiments of the invention may be provided with a row for discharging a portion of the circulating gas and/or water vapor. The gas port 16, preferably, may also be provided with a regulating valve 8 in the exhaust port 16, and the regulating valve 8 may take the form of a valve controlled by a PLC according to a pressure and/or humidity sensor signal, a self-operating pressure regulating valve, The solenoid valve or the manual valve can also omit the regulating valve 8, and only the exhaust port 16 of a suitable diameter is provided to discharge part of the circulating gas and/or water vapor (at this time, the amount of exhaust gas is controlled by the gas pressure in the regeneration circuit). When the air is dehumidified, the exhaust port 16 is open to the atmosphere; when the energy gas, the chemical raw material gas, and the industrial gas are dehumidified, the exhaust port 16 leads to the (condensation) recovery device.

In the above-mentioned cycle heating and heating stage, when the temperature of the moisture absorbent bed 101 reaches about 60 ° C, a small amount of moisture may start to desorb, but the heat supplied from the regenerative heater 6 is mainly used for the temperature required for the temperature rise of the moisture absorbent bed 101. The sign of heat, cycle heating, and temperature rise is that the temperature of the moisture absorbent bed 101 continues to rise. In the circulating dehydration regeneration stage, the temperature of the moisture absorbent bed 101 is substantially stabilized at the regeneration temperature, and the heat supplied from the regenerative heater 6 is mainly used for the desorption heat of the moisture, and the circulating air is heated by the regenerative heater 6 when the air dehumidifier is heated and regenerated. After reaching about 150 ° C, the adsorption dehumidifier 1 is introduced. The hot air at 150 ° C releases the sensible heat to the moisture absorbent bed 101 to about 80 ° C, and then is discharged from the adsorption dehumidifier 1 , and then circulated into the regenerative heater 6 and is again heated to 150. °C is a cycle. The heating amount of the regenerative heater 6 to the circulating gas in each cycle is 70 kJ/kg-dry air, and the heat loss on the outer surface of the device accounts for about 2.5% of the heating amount, and the desorption heat of the water is 2500 kJ/kg-water. The sensible heat released per kilogram of circulating air to the absorbent bed per cycle is only sufficient to desorb 27 grams of moisture. Increasing the temperature of the gas heated by the regenerative heater 6 to 150 ° C or more can increase the amount of dehydration per cycle, but the increase in the heating temperature is limited by the heat-resistant temperature of the moisture absorbent. When the moisture absorbent is silica gel, zeolite molecular sieve or activated alumina, the maximum gas temperature at which the regeneration heater 6 is heated is about 180, 400, and 300 ° C, respectively.

In the above-mentioned cyclic dehydration regeneration stage, when the temperature of the moisture absorbent bed 101 reaches about 100 ° C, the partial pressure of water vapor inside the moisture absorbent particles can reach 1 atmosphere; when the temperature of the absorbent bed 101 is higher than 100 ° C, moisture absorption The water vapor partial pressure inside the agent particles may be greater than 1 atmosphere. The partial pressure of water vapor in the circulating gas circulating between the adsorption dehumidifier 1 and the regenerative heater 6 is of the order of 0.01 - 0.1 atmospheres. Therefore, a small amount of moisture in the circulating gas has little effect on the moisture desorption process of the moisture absorbent particles. During the cycle of dehydration regeneration, the moisture content of the circulating gas will gradually increase.

In the above-described water discharge operation, a part of the circulating gas flows through the condenser 7, the water vapor of the gas is condensed, and the condensed water is discharged from the discharge port 14. When the circulating gas is condensed and discharged to return to the regeneration circuit, it is necessary to supply heat from the regenerative heater 6 to reheat the temperature. Therefore, the higher the moisture content of the condensed circulating gas, the lower the energy consumption. Generally, the circulating gas reaches a moisture content of 60 g/kg-dry gas, and preferably, after 150 g/kg-dry gas (temperature 80 ° C, relative humidity 40%, dew point 60 ° C) or more, the water discharge operation is started. In the parameter state where the moisture content is 150 g/kg-dry gas, the gas flow rate through the condenser 7 is about 20% of the total flow rate of the cycle gas.

The above-mentioned circulating fan 3 can also adopt an axial flow fan, and the axial flow fan can be disposed in the adsorption dehumidifier 1 Inside. Although the prior art generally adopts a manner in which the flow of the dehumidified airflow is reversed to the flow of the regenerated airflow, it is not important for the present invention whether the flow of the dehumidified airflow and the flow of the regenerated airflow are reversed. For all embodiments of the present invention, the circulating fan 3 can be a bi-directional axial fan, and the alternating fan drum 3 alternately rotates and reverses during regenerative heating to provide more uniform heating of the moisture absorbent bed 101. The regenerative heater 6 may be any type of heating device such as an electric heater, a heat exchanger, a combustion gas, a heater for liquid or solid fuel, a heater using a new energy source or a renewable energy source such as a solar collector, or the like.

The single tower intermittent dehumidification device described in this embodiment is suitable for the occasion of non-continuous use of dry gas in the thermal energy, chemical, metallurgical and other industries.

Example 2

As shown in Fig. 2, it is another intermittent adsorption dehumidification device of the present invention.

The adsorption dehumidifier 1 has a moisture absorbent bed 101, 102 composed of moisture absorbent particles and heat exchange tubes 105, 106 spaced apart from the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102, and the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102 are not connected to the heat exchange tubes 105. The heat exchange surfaces of 106 are in contact to avoid local overheating of the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102; the circulating fan 3 is a bidirectional axial flow fan; the heat exchange medium enters from the inlet 12 and is discharged from the outlet 13. One cycle of operation of the device includes dehumidification and regeneration steps:

(A) Dehumidification: the cooling medium is introduced into the heat exchange tubes 105, 106, the valves 108, 109 are opened, the other valves are closed, and the dehumidifying fan 2 is operated, so that the dehumidified gas entering from the inlet 10 flows through the adsorption dehumidifier 1, the gas The moisture in the water is adsorbed and removed by the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102, and the gas is cooled by the heat exchange tubes 105, 106, and the dehumidified gas is discharged through the outlet 11. When the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102 are nearly saturated, the next regeneration operation is performed.

(B) Regeneration:

(1) Circulating heating and heating: opening the valves 301, 302, closing other valves, the heating medium is introduced into the heat exchange tubes 105, 106, and the circulating fan 3 is operated to circulate the gas in the regeneration circuit, and the heat exchange tubes 105 are The heat provided by 106 is transferred to the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102 such that the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102 are gradually warmed up to the regeneration temperature.

(2) Recirculating dehydration regeneration: continue to operate the circulation fan 3 to circulate the gas in the regeneration circuit, and transfer the heat provided by the heat exchange tubes 105, 106 to the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102 to maintain the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102. Regeneration temperature. The moisture absorbing agent particles in the moisture absorbent bed 101, 102 are heated to diffuse into the gas phase, and the moisture content of the circulating gas is gradually increased.

(3) Exhaust moisture: When the moisture content of the circulating gas reaches 60 g/kg-dry gas or more, the regulating valve 8 is intermittently or continuously opened to discharge part of the circulating gas and/or water vapor. The above-described operation of circulating dehydration regeneration and water discharge is continued until the moisture content of the cycle gas is no longer increased, and the next cooling and drying operation is performed.

(3) Cooling and drying: the dehumidifying fan 2 is operated, and the cold dehumidifier 1 is passed through a cold gas for cooling, while a part of the cold gas is passed through the circulating fan 3 to be dried; or the heat exchange tubes 105 and 106 are cooled. The medium, running the circulation fan 3, cools the moisture absorbent beds 101, 102. The adsorption dehumidifier 1 is cooled to normal temperature and then enters the next operation cycle.

The cooling medium introduced into the heat exchange tubes 105, 106 during the dehumidification operation may be cold water, cold air, etc.; the heating medium introduced into the heat exchange tubes 105, 106 during the regeneration operation may be high temperature steam, hot air, heat Any gas or liquid with appropriate temperature, such as flue gas or heat transfer oil.

The function of introducing a cooling medium into the heat exchange tubes 105, 106 in the above dehumidification operation is to remove the heat of adsorption. Most of the kinetic energy of gas molecule movement during gas adsorption is converted into heat energy. Therefore, adsorption is an exothermic process, and the heat released is called heat of adsorption. Due to the heat of adsorption, the temperature rise of the moisture absorbent bed and the dehumidified gas during the dehumidification operation can generally reach 5-10 ° C (or even higher, depending on the temperature, humidity, moisture absorption performance and other factors of the gas), and the temperature rise is constant. To a lesser extent, the dehumidification effect is reduced. The heat transfer tube 105, 106 is passed through a cooling medium to remove the heat of adsorption to improve the dehumidification effect. If the temperature rise of the moisture absorbent bed 101, 102 is too large during the dehumidifying operation, while the dehumidifying fan 2 is operated to pass the dehumidifying gas to the adsorption dehumidifier 1 to perform the dehumidifying operation, the valves 301 and 302 are opened, and the circulating fan 3 is operated to make part The dehumidified gas is refluxed to further improve the cooling effect. When the adsorption dehumidifier 1 adopts a fluidized bed type, the moisture absorbent beds 101 and 102 can be combined into one fluidized bed, and the heat exchange tubes 105 and 106 are directly placed in the fluidized bed, which can greatly improve dehumidification cooling and regenerative heating. When the heat transfer efficiency between the heat exchange tubes 105, 106 and the moisture absorbent bed 101, 102, and the moisture absorbent particles are in a fluidized state, the moisture absorbent particles are in contact with the heat exchange tubes 105, 106, and local portions are not present. overheat.

In the above-described draining operation, the regulator valve 8 discharges a mixture of a circulating gas and a water vapor at a temperature of about 60 to 80 ° C. Therefore, the higher the moisture content of the discharged circulating gas, the regenerative energy consumption. The lower. Generally, after the moisture content of the circulating gas reaches 60 g/kg-dry gas or more, preferably, after 150 g/kg-dry gas or more is reached, the water discharge operation is started. After the regulating valve 8 discharges the mixture of the circulating gas and the water vapor outward, the amount of the circulating gas in the regeneration circuit is gradually decreased, the water vapor concentration is gradually increased, and the water vapor partial pressure difference between the inside of the moisture absorbent particles and the circulating gas is gradually reduced. So small that the moisture absorbent cannot be completely dehydrated and regenerated. However, in general, the moisture absorbent does not need to be completely regenerated, and as long as most of the moisture is desorbed, it can be put into the dehumidification operation. If the moisture absorbent needs to be completely regenerated, the valve 108 can be opened while the dehydration regeneration operation is being performed, and the dehumidification fan 2 can be operated to replenish the regeneration circuit with the circulating gas. Of course, the apparatus shown in Embodiment 2 can also be provided with a condensation branch to discharge moisture similarly to the apparatus of Embodiment 1. The device shown in Embodiment 1 adopts a condensed drainage mode, and the main function of the regulating valve 8 is decompression; the device shown in Embodiment 2 uses direct discharge of water vapor to discharge moisture, and the regulating valve 8 functions mainly to discharge water vapor. . All embodiments of the invention may use condensed drainage or direct discharge to vent moisture. The advantage of the condensate drainage method is that there is no need to erect the intake and exhaust ducts; the advantage of the direct discharge method is that there is no need to install a condenser. The apparatus shown in Fig. 2 and the regulating valve 8 for discharging water vapor in all embodiments of the present invention may adopt any type of valve, or the regulating valve 8 may be omitted, and only a vent 16 of a suitable diameter may be provided (at this time) The amount of exhaust is controlled by the gas pressure in the regeneration circuit). When direct water vapor is used to vent moisture, a higher regenerative operating temperature should be used to provide a temperature above 100 °C at the lowest temperature of the regeneration loop.

The parts not mentioned in this embodiment are similar to the first embodiment, and the working principle and application thereof are the same as those in the first embodiment. I will not repeat them here.

Example 3

As shown in Fig. 3, it is another intermittent adsorption dehumidification device of the present invention.

The adsorption dehumidifier 1 has a moisture absorbent bed 101, 102, 103, 104 composed of moisture absorbent particles, a heat exchange tube 105, and a circulation fan 107. The partition 100 divides the inside of the adsorption dehumidifier 1 into two cavities. The circulation fan 107 is operated to circulate the gas in the adsorption dehumidifier 1. An operation cycle of the dehumidification device also includes a dehumidification and regeneration step. When it is necessary to discharge the water, the valve 701 can be opened. Since the gas pressure in the adsorption dehumidifier 1 is higher than the pressure in the condenser 7, the gas in the adsorption dehumidifier 1 enters the condenser 7, the water vapor of the gas is condensed, and the condensed water is discharged. The mouth 14 is discharged. The dehumidification device with built-in heat exchange tubes and circulating fans has the advantage of eliminating external circulation pipes and valves, thus reducing heat loss. The apparatus shown in Fig. 3 is only a preferred embodiment, and those skilled in the art can easily make various changes, for example, changing the form of the adsorption dehumidifier, the form, number and installation position of the regenerative heater and the circulation fan, and the separation. The form and number of plates (or the removal of the baffles) can be similarly effected by forced convection of the circulating fan to circulate the gas between the regenerative heater and the bed of absorbent. Various changes that can be made in accordance with the teachings of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.

The parts that are not mentioned in this embodiment are similar to the embodiment 2, and the working principle and application are the same as those in the embodiment 2, and details are not described herein again.

Example 4

Since the microporous structure of the moisture absorbent itself determines the heat and mass transfer inside the moisture absorbent is extremely slow during the heating regeneration of the moisture absorbent, it is usually a rate control step for heating regeneration, and the external conditions of the moisture absorbent such as circulating gas The flow rate generally has little effect. Therefore, it is feasible to cancel the circulation fan and rely only on the natural convection caused by the temperature difference caused by heating the partial circulation gas with the regenerative heater to make the gas circulate between the regenerative heater and the moisture absorbent bed. . As shown in FIG. 4, it is a batch adsorption dehumidification device of a natural convection heat exchange method of the present invention. The adsorption dehumidifier 1 has moisture absorbent beds 101 and 102 composed of moisture absorbent particles and regenerative heaters 105 and 106. The separator 100 separates the inside of the adsorption dehumidifier 1 into two left and right cavities. When the regeneration heating is started, all the valves are closed, and the regeneration heaters 105, 106 are alternately heated. When the regenerative heater 105 is heated and the regenerative heater 106 stops heating, the density of the gas in the right cavity is less than the density of the gas in the left cavity. Therefore, the gas in the right cavity moves upward, and the gas in the left cavity moves downward. The gas in the adsorption dehumidifier 1 is caused to circulate. When the regeneration heater 105 stops heating and the regeneration heater 106 heats up, the direction of the circulation flow is reversed. When the moisture content of the circulating gas reaches 60 g/kg-dry gas or more, the water discharge operation can be started: the valves 110, 701, 702 are opened and the flow rate of the gas flowing through the condenser 7 is adjusted, and the regeneration heaters 105, 106 are simultaneously heated. The gas inside the adsorption dehumidifier 1 moves upward, the gas in the external pipe flows downward, and part of the circulating gas flows through the condenser 7, and the moisture is condensed and discharged. The natural deconvolution heat removal dehumidification device has the advantages of uniform heating, low heat loss, and omits the equipment after the circulating fan The cost and power consumption are lower, and it is safer for dehumidification treatment of energy gas, chemical raw material gas and industrial gas. The apparatus shown in Fig. 4 is only a preferred embodiment, and those skilled in the art can easily make various changes, such as changing the form of the adsorption dehumidifier, the form, number and mounting position of the regenerative heater, and the form and shape of the partition. The amount (or cancellation of the baffle) can be similarly effected by the natural convection generated by the heating of the gas causing the gas to circulate between the regenerative heater and the bed of absorbent. For example, only one absorbent bed and one regenerative heater are disposed in the adsorption dehumidifier. The regenerative heater is located below the moisture absorbent bed and is not in contact with the moisture absorbent bed. When the regenerative heater is heated, the heat is transferred to the natural convection of the gas. Inside the moisture absorbent bed, the moisture absorbent bed is heated to generate water vapor to raise the gas pressure, and the water vapor enters the condenser to be condensed and discharged. For example, the flat-plate solar collector can be used as a regenerative heater to heat the circulating gas in the regeneration circuit, and the adsorption dehumidifier is made into a rectangular shape and mounted on one side of the backlight of the flat-plate solar collector, in the solar collector. The highest end and the lowest end are respectively connected to the highest end and the lowest end of the adsorption dehumidifier, and the gas in the solar collector is heated by the solar radiation to rise and then moves upward to flow into the adsorption dehumidifier, and the cold gas in the dehumidifier is sucked downward. The utility model circulates into the solar collector to realize the solar heating regeneration adsorption dehumidifier by means of natural convection heat exchange. It is to be understood that it is not possible to list all the embodiments of the present invention, and any other embodiments that are designed according to the principles and the substance of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims.

The parts not mentioned in this embodiment are similar to the embodiment 3, and are not described herein again.

Example 5

As shown in FIG. 5, it is a regenerative rotary continuous dehumidification device of the present invention. Including dehumidification runner 1, dehumidification gas path, regenerative gas path and regeneration circuit. The surface of the slowly rotating dehumidification rotor 1 mainly made of a hygroscopic material is sequentially divided into a moisture absorption zone 111, a preheating zone 112, a regeneration zone 113, and a cooling zone 114. The dehumidified gas entering from the inlet 10 in the dehumidifying gas path is sent to the dehumidifying zone 111 by the dehumidifying fan 2 to dehumidify, and the dehumidified gas is discharged from the outlet 11. As the wheel rotates, the portion of the wheel that has absorbed moisture in the dehumidification zone 111 is transferred to the preheating zone 112.
