A method and device are provided for purifying and recycling water vapor from a coal drying process. Included are a temperature-lowering and dehumidifying process, a flash distillation stripping process, and a vacuum condensing process. A condensing tower receives a temperature-lowered exhaust gas with high humidity from a cooling tube and a condensed water of 5˜60° C. from a flash distillation tank, allowing the exhaust gas and the condensed water to contact each other in a vapor-liquid reverse manner, to lower the temperature and dehumidify the exhaust gas. The flash distillation tank performs a vacuum flash distillation to the condensing water pumped therein from the condensing tower. Water vapor of 5˜60° C. evaporated through flash distillation in the flash distillation tank enters into the demisting washer to be dehumidified and then is condensed. The condensed water in the vapor condenser is transferred into a recycled water tank. Non-condensable gas is discharged out.

A method for producing heat transfer between two or more media and a device or system for carry out said method, usable for air conditioning a space, or any use that requires heat transfer between two or more media to be used for domestic, commercial or industrial use.

The present disclosure relates to a pyrolysis bio-oil fractional condensation device and method capable of cooling medium self-circulation. The device includes a primary condensation system, a secondary condensation system and a cooling medium self-regulation heat exchange system. The primary condensation system uses the temperature-regulated cooling medium to condense the macromolecular tar by direct heat exchange with the pyrolysis volatiles. The condensed tar is heated, pushed and scraped with a rotary mechanism to prevent adhesion. The spray liquid in the secondary condensation system exchange heat with the uncondensed volatiles directly for secondary condensation. The cooling medium self-regulation heat exchange system realizes self-circulation and self-balance of the cooling medium mass flow and energy flow by integrating heat absorption during biomass raw material feeding and drying, heat release during volatiles condensation, and heat absorption during pyrolysis char cooling, and realized the independent operation of the condensation device in the mobile biomass pyrolysis system.
