Abstract

Most of the exhaust temperature of ships is above 300℃, usually this part of waste heat would be directly discharged into the environment, not fully utilized. In order to improve the energy efficiency ratio of ship storage and transportation more effectively, domestic and foreign counterparts have done a lot of technical research on the recovery and utilization of ship waste heat, but most of them are based on a single application perspective. Emphasizing the application of multi-angle combined waste heat, driven by waste heat for CO2 supercritical power generation coupling trans-critical refrigeration system was proposed and designed. While the combined system recovered waste heat for power generation, the functions of refrigerating cooling and seawater desalination were realized by using the properties of CO2 working medium. Taking Fuyuan Yu 7861 ocean-going fishing boat as a design case, the relevant thermal calculation and equipment matching of CO2 supercritical power-transcritical refrigeration system driven by waste heat recovery were targeted. The results showed that the total power consumption of the system is 34.171KW, the waste heat power generation efficiency is 12.9%, the refrigeration performance coefficient is 2.368, the energy saving effect is remarkable, and the energy saving and emission reduction are realized.
