Abstract

Abstract A dual heat source high-temperature regenerator to solve problems involved in two types of conventional high-temperature regenerators for carrying out heating by using a dedicated burner as the heat source and by using exhaust gas supplied from outside systems as the heat source; namely, the former type has a problem of higher running costs, and the latter a problem of narrower ranges for capacity control. The dual heat source high-temperature regenerator arranges two inner shells and inside an outer shell to form combustion and exhaust gas flues, respectively. The combustion gas flue has a sideways U shape as a whole. The lower end is equipped with a burner, and the upper end connected to an exhaust duct. The exhaust gas flue 62 has a horizontal, straight shape as a whole. One end is provided with an exhaust gas inlet, and the other end connected to an exhaust duct. The portions where a dilute absorbent liquor collects heat easily are the vertical-stroke portion on the sideways U of the combustion gas flue and the vicinity of the end of the exhaust gas flue making the exhaust gas inlet. The vertical-stroke portion and the exhaust gas inlet are collected to the same side so that the convection current of the dilute absorbent liquor produces a smooth circulation of the liquor as shown by broken lines in the drawings.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 132 words
A dual heat source high-temperature regenerator for an absorption type chiller heater, said high-temperature regenerator comprising an outer shell and a plurality of inner shells, wherein: said outer shell and said inner shells form a liquor channel therebetween in which a dilute absorbent liquor introduced is heated to boil so that refrigerant vapor is isolated therefrom; one or some of said plurality of inner shells constitute(s) a combustion gas flue for introducing combustion gas from a burner provided for said high-temperature regenerator; the remaining inner shell or inner shells constitute(s) an exhaust gas flue for introducing high-temperature exhaust gas generated outside said absorption type chiller heater; and an exhaust gas inlet of said exhaust gas flue is located near a region on said combustion gas flue where heat is easy to collect.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 132 words
A dual heat source high-temperature regenerator for an absorption type chiller heater, said high-temperature regenerator comprising an outer shell and a plurality of inner shells, wherein: said outer shell and said inner shells form a liquor channel therebetween in which a dilute absorbent liquor introduced is heated to boil so that refrigerant vapor is isolated therefrom; one or some of said plurality of inner shells constitute(s) a combustion gas flue for introducing combustion gas from a burner provided for said high-temperature regenerator; the remaining inner shell or inner shells constitute(s) an exhaust gas flue for introducing high-temperature exhaust gas generated outside said absorption type chiller heater; and an exhaust gas inlet of said exhaust gas flue is located near a region on said combustion gas flue where heat is easy to collect.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 127 words
The dual heat source high-temperature regenerator according to claim 1 , wherein: among said inner shells, the one or ones constituting said combustion gas flue each has a sideways U shape as a whole, with both upper and lower ends of the U located outside said outer shell; among said inner shells, the one or ones constituting said exhaust gas flue each has a horizontal, straight shape as a whole, with both ends of the straight shape located outside said outer shell; and the region on said combustion gas flue where heat is easy to collect is the vicinity of the vertical stroke of the sideways U; and an exhaust gas inlet of said exhaust gas flue is located near said vertical stroke of the sideways U.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 121 words
The dual heat source high-temperature regenerator according to claim 1 , wherein: among said inner shells, the one or ones constituting said combustion gas flue each has a horizontal, straight shape as a whole, with both ends of the straight shape located outside said outer shell; among said inner shells, the one or ones constituting said exhaust gas flue each has a horizontal, straight shape as a whole, with both ends of the straight shape located outside said outer shell; the region on said combustion gas flue where heat is easy to collect is the vicinity of its end forming a combustion gas inlet; and an exhaust gas inlet of said exhaust gas flue is located near said combustion gas inlet.
