During continuous operation of the air compressor, there will be an increase in the temperature of the compressor and oil. In the air compressor system, the oil has the characteristics of cleaning, sealing, anti attraction, lubrication, buffering, and cooling. This also makes the working temperature of the main body decrease under the action of the fan when the oil temperature reaches a certain level; After the oil temperature drops, stop rotating below a certain temperature.
The large amount of electrical energy required by air compressors is mostly used to compress air, thereby converting a portion of the mechanical energy in the prime mover into gas pressure energy. At the same time, a large amount of heat accumulates in the engine oil, oil and gas, and the body, and the main source of heat is emitted when compressing air, which is discharged into the environment with the operation of the fan. This part, about 90% of the heat, can theoretically be recycled and reused. Therefore, the waste heat recovery of air compressors has a broad market prospect. The use of waste heat recovery technology can effectively maximize the recovery of energy, while also promoting the reduction of energy loss, improving the efficiency of air compressors, and extending their service life.
The thermal energy recovery project mainly utilizes a waste heat recovery device to achieve reuse of the heat energy generated during compressed air. When the exhaust temperature of the air compressor unit reaches 130 degrees, the hot medium water is heated to 85 degrees under this hot air to obtain a recyclable heat source. In summer, this heat source can act on the absorption refrigeration machine, and in winter, it can be used for heating to achieve the goal of thermal energy recovery and reuse. It can also cool the compressed air. Truly achieving the role of energy conservation and environmental protection.
