Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of energy saving in the iron and steel industry, in particular to a system and method for recovering and utilizing waste heat in an oxygen production process. Background technique [0002] Iron and steel enterprises need a large amount of high-purity oxygen, nitrogen and other energy media in the process of smelting and production. Therefore, large iron and steel enterprises usually have their own oxygen production process, with multiple oxygen generators and oxygen pipeline networks. The oxygen produced by the oxygen generator passes through the pipe The network is sent to each oxygen-consuming user; when a certain oxygen generator has a tripping failure in the oxygen production process, and the amount of oxygen produced cannot meet the needs of downstream oxygen-consuming users, it will cause insufficient pressure in the oxygen pipe network and the tripping of the oxygen generator Generally, it takes up to...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It is mainly reflected in the fact that the existing air compressor waste heat utilization system and method in the oxygen production process do not take into account the low temperature of the air after the first-stage compression of the air compressor in actual operation, and the waste heat cannot be effectively used after recovery; at the same time, how effective is the waste heat recovery of the air compressor? To adapt to fluctuations in thermal user demand, there is no solution

Moreover, the waste heat resources in the oxygen production process are mainly used for domestic heating after recovery, and domestic heating is usually limited by the heat supply and heating radius, and the large amount of waste heat resources in the oxygen production process cannot be fully utilized.
