Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam heating condensate treatment, and in particular to a steam heating condensate waste heat recovery device and system. Background Art
[0002] Steam heating has been widely used in industrial and civil fields. Condensation water is inevitably produced during the steam heating process. This condensation water is often a high-temperature steam-water mixture. In all industries that use steam heating, water vapor is widely used as a carrier of heat energy. Steam turns into condensed water (also called condensed water or condensate) when the heat equipment releases the latent heat of condensation. The heat energy of condensed water accounts for about 15%-38% of the total energy of steam. Recovering the heat energy and water resources of condensed water is of great significance to energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0003] For large-scale comprehensive buildings, there may be multiple heat utilization methods with different requirements for supply and return water temperatures. Therefore, the temperature of high-temperature condensate water can be gradually reduced through multi-stage steam heat exchange.
[0004] However, for buildings with a single function, when the heat is used in a single way, it is difficult to truly recycle the heat energy in the high-temperature condensate. In theory, when the drainage temperature is higher than 40°C, heat recovery should be given priority. When it is impossible or unreasonable to recycle, a cooling pool should be set up when the water temperature at the inlet detection well of the urban drainage pipe is higher than 40°C. The common steam condensate temperature is as high as 80°C-90°C. The condensate is connected to the cooling pool to cool to 40°C-60°C before being discharged from the building, but this method actually wastes high-temperature condensate resources.
[0005] The high-temperature condensate in the steam heating system has the advantages of sufficient heat and clean water quality. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle the high-temperature condensate in the steam heating system to promote energy conservation, emission reduction and sustainable development.
[0006] The prior art provides a municipal steam condensate recovery and utilization system (CN216954118U), which includes a steam pipeline, a pressure reducing and cooling valve group, a steam cylinder, a heat exchange unit, a high-temperature condensate tank, a low-temperature condensate tank, and a volumetric heat exchanger.
[0007] Municipal steam enters the steam cylinder after being decompressed by the pressure reducing and cooling valve group; the steam cylinder transports the steam into the heat exchanger unit twice through different branches; the high-temperature condensate of the steam cylinder and the heat exchanger unit enters the high-temperature condensate tank through its back pressure; the high-temperature condensate in the high-temperature condensate tank is transported to the volumetric heat exchanger through the condensate pump, and heat exchange is carried out with the tap water in the volumetric heat exchanger; the tap water that has completed the heat exchange enters the low-temperature condensate tank through the condensate pipe and the condensate drain valve group; the condensate in the low-temperature condensate tank is transported to domestic water through pipes. This technology makes the hot water in the steam cylinder enter the heat exchanger unit twice, and recycles it twice, which makes more effective use of the energy of condensate than the traditional steam condensate recovery system.
[0008] However, the technical solution requires that the condensate temperature in the high-temperature condensate tank be 90°C. However, it is uncertain whether the municipal steam has been fully heat exchanged after two heat exchangers. Therefore, after two heat exchanges, it is possible that a steam-water mixture enters the high-temperature condensate tank, which may cause water hammer. In this technical solution, the two heat exchangers are connected in parallel, which is actually a single heat exchange, and cascade heat exchange is not achieved. In addition, there are many condensate recovery devices, the machine room occupies a large area, and the economic cost is high.
[0009] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a steam heating condensate waste heat recovery device and system to solve at least one of the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, a steam heating condensate waste heat recovery device 7 is provided. The steam heating condensate waste heat recovery device 7 may include: a low-temperature condensate water tank 71 and a high-temperature condensate water tank 72 arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the gravity direction, the low-temperature condensate water tank 71 is provided with a first water inlet 701 and a first water outlet 702, the high-temperature condensate water tank 72 is provided with a second water inlet 703 and a second water outlet 704, the low-temperature condensate water tank 71 and the high-temperature condensate water tank 72 are provided with a second water inlet 703 and a second water outlet 704, An insulating baffle 709 is provided between the condensation water tanks 72, and a plurality of array-arranged gravity heat pipes 708 are arranged on the insulating baffle 709. The gravity heat pipe 708 includes: a condensation section, an insulation section and an evaporation section from top to bottom along the gravity direction. The condensation section is located in the low-temperature condensation water tank 71, and the length of the insulation section coincides with the thickness of the insulating baffle 709. The evaporation section is located in the high-temperature condensation water tank 72; the gravity heat pipe 708 is a hollow closed structure. The gravity heat pipe 708 contains working liquid. When the evaporation section is heated in the high-temperature condensation water tank 72, the working liquid in the gravity heat pipe 708 vaporizes and evaporates to form steam. The steam flows to the condensation section and exchanges heat with the cold water in the low-temperature condensation water tank 71. The working liquid after heat exchange is condensed and liquefied, and then flows back to the evaporation section by gravity.
[0062] The steam heating condensate waste heat recovery device 7 provided in the embodiment of the present application mainly includes: a low-temperature condensate water tank 71, an insulating baffle 709, a high-temperature condensate water tank 72 and a gravity heat pipe 708. Among them, the low-temperature condensate water tank 71 is located at the upper part, and it includes a hollow first box body 705, and the first box body 705 is provided with a first water inlet 701 and a first water outlet 702. The high-temperature condensate water tank 72 is located at the lower part, and it includes a hollow second box body 706, and the second box body 706 is provided with a second water inlet 703 and a second water outlet 704. An insulating baffle 709 is provided between the low-temperature condensate water tank 71 and the high-temperature condensate water tank 72 to prevent the two from exchanging heat on the contact surface. Among them, the first box body 705 and the second box body 706 can be square in shape. Of course, the structure of the water tank is not limited to the above example, and it can also be other shapes, which is not specifically limited in this application.
[0063] The insulating baffle 709 is provided with a plurality of openings, which are used to seal and penetrate the gravity heat pipe 708. Of course, openings corresponding to the opening positions on the insulating baffle 709 are also provided at the bottom of the low-temperature condensation water tank 71 and the top of the high-temperature condensation water tank 72, which are also used to seal and penetrate the gravity heat pipe 708. Specifically, the number of the openings can be multiple, and the multiple openings can be distributed on the insulating baffle 709 in an array arrangement. In addition, the size and shape of the openings can match the outer contour of the gravity heat pipe 708.
[0064] The gravity heat pipe 708 may include, from top to bottom along the gravity direction: a condensation section, an insulation section, and an evaporation section. The condensation section is located in the low-temperature condensation water tank 71. The evaporation section is located in the high-temperature condensation water tank 72. The length of the insulation section coincides with the thickness of the insulation baffle 709.
[0065] The gravity heat pipe 708 is a hollow closed structure, and a working liquid is contained in the gravity heat pipe 708. When the evaporation section is heated in the high-temperature condensation water tank 72, the working liquid in the gravity heat pipe 708 is vaporized and evaporated to form steam, and the steam flows to the condensation section to exchange heat with the cold water in the low-temperature condensation water tank 71. After the heat exchange, the working liquid is condensed and liquefied, and then flows back to the evaporation section by gravity, thus completing a cycle.
[0066] The insulation section is mainly used to prevent the steam formed in the evaporation section of the gravity heat pipe 708 from liquefying before reaching the condensation section. The length of the insulation section (i.e., the thickness of the insulation baffle 709) can be determined comprehensively based on the material, performance and other factors of the insulation baffle 709, and the present application does not make any specific limitation here.
[0067] The length and number of the gravity heat pipe 708 can be determined comprehensively based on the target heat recovery of the steam heating condensate waste heat recovery device 7 and the water tank size, the condensate flow rate and temperature, the allowable operating temperature of the heat pipe and the corresponding allowable operating pressure. The diameter of the gravity heat pipe 708 can be selected based on the Mach number in the pipe with the carrying limit and the speed of sound limit. Specifically, the specific length, number of roots, and diameter of the gravity heat pipe 708 are not specifically limited in this application.
[0068] The steam heating condensate waste heat recovery device 7 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a low-temperature condensate water tank 71, an insulating baffle 709, and a high-temperature condensate water tank 72 in sequence along the direction of gravity, and a gravity heat pipe 708 is provided which passes through the low-temperature condensate water tank 71, the insulating baffle 709, and the high-temperature condensate water tank 72. The gravity heat pipe 708 is used to transfer the heat in the high-temperature condensate water tank 72 to the low-temperature condensate water tank 71. On the whole, after the steam heating condensate water waste heat recovery device 7 enters from the first water inlet 701 and the second water inlet 703, the internal space of the box body is large, the flow rate can be effectively slowed down, and it can fully exchange heat with the gravity heat pipe 708. The overall heat exchange efficiency is high, the heat of the condensate water can be fully utilized, and the water hammer phenomenon that is easy to occur in the shell and tube heat exchanger can be avoided.
[0069] In one embodiment, the first water inlet 701 and the first water outlet 702 are located at two opposite corners of the low-temperature condensation water tank 71 .
[0070] In this embodiment, by distributing the first water inlet 701 and the first water outlet 702 at the diagonals on both sides of the low-temperature condensation water tank 71, the water flow in the low-temperature condensation water tank 71 is made to flow in a "Z" shape, which can effectively prevent the fluid short-circuit problem caused by the arrangement of the inlet and outlet on the same side, and take into account the full use of the density difference of water (the density of hot water is less than that of cold water) to enhance the heat exchange effect.
[0071] In one embodiment, the second water inlet 703 and the second water outlet 704 are located at two opposite corners of the high-temperature condensate water tank 72 .
[0072] In this embodiment, by distributing the second water inlet 703 and the second water outlet 704 at the diagonals on both sides of the high-temperature condensation water tank 72, the water flow in the high-temperature condensation water tank 72 is made to flow in a "Z" shape, which can effectively prevent the fluid short-circuit problem caused by the arrangement of the inlet and outlet on the same side, and take into account the full use of the density difference of water (the density of hot water is less than that of cold water) to enhance the heat exchange effect.
[0073] In one embodiment, the material of the gravity heat pipe 708 is an anti-corrosion material, and the anti-corrosion material includes: ceramic. Since the gravity heat pipe 708 is located in the low-temperature condensation water tank 71 and the high-temperature condensation water tank 72 and is in contact with the fluid in the low-temperature condensation water tank 71 and the high-temperature condensation water tank 72 for a long time, in order to avoid corrosion, the outer shell material of the gravity heat pipe 708 is selected from anti-corrosion materials. Specifically, anti-corrosion materials such as ceramics can be used. When the gravity heat pipe 708 is made of ceramic material, on the one hand, the ceramic material has better anti-corrosion performance, and on the other hand, the heat exchange performance of the ceramic material is also better. Of course, the gravity heat pipe 708 can also use other types of anti-corrosion materials, which are not limited to the above description. The technicians in the relevant field may make other changes under the inspiration of the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
[0074] In one embodiment, a predetermined gap 707 is formed between two adjacent gravity heat pipes 708 to ensure that the water flowing through the gravity heat pipes 708 is in a turbulent state.
[0075] In this embodiment, a plurality of gravity heat pipes 708 may be arranged in an array arrangement, and a predetermined gap 707 may be provided between two adjacent gravity heat pipes 708. The predetermined gap 707 is used to ensure that the water flowing through the gravity heat pipe 708 is in a turbulent state, and the water flow Reynolds number Re is at a large value (e.g., greater than 4000) to ensure a better heat exchange effect. Specifically, the predetermined gap 707 may be set according to the state of the fluid in the box, the heat exchange requirements, etc., and the present application does not limit its value exclusively.
[0076] In one embodiment, the steam heating condensate waste heat recovery device 7 may also include an overflow pipe 8 and a drain pipe 9, one end of the drain pipe 9 is connected to the bottom of the high-temperature condensate water tank 72, and the overflow pipe 8 has a first overflow end extending into the low-temperature condensate water tank 71 and a second overflow end extending into the high-temperature condensate water tank 72, and the first overflow end and the second overflow end are both connected to the drain pipe 9.

A first overflow end and a second overflow end are respectively arranged at the opening positions, and are discharged to the outside through an overflow pipe 8. A drain pipe 9 can also be arranged at the bottom of the high-temperature condensation water tank 72 to discharge the water in the high-temperature condensation water tank 72 to the outside. In order to simplify the pipeline as much as possible, the overflow pipe 8 connecting the first overflow end and the second overflow end can be connected in parallel and merged with the drain pipe 9.
