Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coking refrigeration, and in particular to a refrigeration system and method for recovering waste heat of coking high-temperature condensed water coupled with steam temperature regulation. Background Art
[0002] To achieve better temperature reduction, some equipment in the gas purification unit of a coking plant (such as the lower end of the gas primary cooler, pre-cooling tower, and desulfurization liquid cooler) uses low-temperature water (around 16°C) as a refrigerant, which is lower than conventional circulating water. This low-temperature water is typically produced using a lithium bromide absorption chiller. Lithium bromide absorption chillers are powered by a heat source, primarily using water as the refrigerant and lithium bromide solution as the absorbent to produce low-temperature water. Depending on the type of driving heat source, they are categorized as direct-fired, steam-fired, and hot water-fired.
[0003] At present, coking plants mostly use three-stage gas primary coolers to recover the waste heat of high-temperature raw gas (around 82°C) to produce waste hot water (supply water temperature 73°C, return water temperature 63°C), and use the waste hot water as the driving heat source to supply the refrigerator. However, the waste heat of high-temperature raw gas is limited and insufficient to meet the driving heat source needs of all refrigerators in the coking plant. Therefore, coking plants mostly prefer waste hot water type refrigerators, and then configure steam type refrigerators for the insufficient part. As a result, the refrigeration station needs to be equipped with two different models, which increases the complexity of operation and causes production inconvenience. In addition, because the initial temperature of high-temperature raw gas is only around 82°C, and the waste hot water temperature system of the primary cooler requires a supply water temperature of around 73°C and a return water temperature of around 63°C, the low waste hot water temperature is not conducive to heat exchange of the waste hot water type refrigerator, and the required heat exchanger area is large. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a refrigeration system and method for recovering waste heat from high-temperature condensate water in a coking plant coupled with steam temperature control. The system can recover the waste heat from the high-temperature condensate water in the coking plant while solving the problem that the refrigeration station needs to be equipped with two types of machines, namely, a waste hot water type refrigerator and a steam type refrigerator, due to insufficient waste heat of the waste hot water in the primary cooler. The waste hot water temperature is increased by the steam heat exchanger, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigerator, reducing the overall investment, and saving operating costs.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A refrigeration system for recovering waste heat of coking high-temperature condensate coupled with steam temperature control, comprising a crude benzene distillation unit, an ammonium sulphate unit, an ammonia distillation unit, a three-stage coal gas primary cooler, a condensate heat exchanger, a steam heat exchanger, a waste hot water type refrigerator and a condensate recovery water tank; the crude benzene distillation unit, the ammonium sulphate unit and the ammonia distillation unit are respectively connected to the high-temperature condensate inlet of the condensate heat exchanger through a high-temperature condensate recovery pipeline; the waste hot water inlet of the three-stage coal gas primary cooler is connected to the waste hot water outlet of the waste hot water type refrigerator through a waste hot water pipeline 1, the waste hot water outlet of the three-stage coal gas primary cooler is connected to the waste hot water inlet of the condensate heat exchanger through a waste hot water pipeline 2, the waste hot water outlet of the condensate heat exchanger is connected to the waste hot water inlet of the steam heat exchanger through a waste hot water pipeline 3; the steam inlet of the steam heat exchanger is connected to a low-pressure steam pipeline; the waste hot water outlet of the steam heat exchanger is connected to the waste hot water inlet of the waste hot water type refrigerator through a waste hot water pipeline 4; the condensate outlet of the condensate heat exchanger and the condensate outlet of the steam heat exchanger are connected to the condensate recovery water tank through a low-temperature condensate pipeline.
[0007] The low-pressure steam pipeline is provided with a steam regulating valve group; the waste hot water pipeline is provided with a thermometer; the steam regulating valve group and the thermometer are interlocked and controlled by a control system.
[0008] A waste hot water pressure pump is provided on the waste hot water pipeline.
[0009] The condensate recovery tank is connected to a condensate delivery pipeline, and a condensate pump is provided on the condensate delivery pipeline.
[0010] A refrigeration method for recovering waste heat from coking high-temperature condensate coupled with steam temperature control, comprising the following steps:
[0011] 1) Through the high-temperature condensate recovery pipeline, high-temperature condensate above 160°C from the crude benzene distillation unit, ammonium sulfate unit, and ammonia distillation unit in the coking plant is uniformly recovered and sent to the condensate heat exchanger to recover waste heat. After the waste heat is recovered, the low-temperature condensate with a temperature of 80-85°C is sent to the condensate recovery tank;
[0012] 2) High-temperature raw gas from the coke oven, exceeding 82°C, is cooled to below 21°C in a three-stage primary gas cooler and then sent to downstream processing for purification. In the three-stage primary gas cooler, the high-temperature raw gas exchanges heat with 60-63°C waste water from a waste water chiller, raising the waste water temperature to 70-73°C. The 70-73°C waste water then enters the condensate heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with high-temperature condensate exceeding 160°C, raising its temperature to 74-75°C before entering the steam heat exchanger.
[0013] 3) The low-pressure steam with a pressure of 0.5-0.6 MPa delivered by the low-pressure steam pipeline enters the steam heat exchanger after passing through the steam regulating valve group and exchanges heat with the waste hot water at 74-75°C. The waste hot water at 74-75°C is heated to above 78°C by heat exchange and then sent to the waste hot water type refrigerator;
[0014] 4) Waste water above 78°C enters the waste water type refrigeration machine, where the temperature is reduced to below 63°C after work. It is then pressurized by the waste water booster pump and sent to the three-stage gas primary cooler to cool the high-temperature raw gas.
[0015] The above process is repeated;
[0016] 5) In the waste water type chiller, the low-temperature water of 20-23°C is cooled to below 16°C and sent to the low-temperature water users of the coking plant;
[0017] 6) The low-temperature condensate in the condensate recovery tank is pressurized by the condensate pump and then sent to the condensate users of the coking plant through the external condensate pipeline.
[0018] In the process 3), the opening degree of the steam regulating valve group is adjusted according to the temperature of the waste hot water at the waste hot water inlet of the waste hot water type refrigerator.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1) The condensate heat exchanger is used to recover the waste heat of high-temperature condensate, thereby recovering the waste heat of high-temperature condensate, increasing the water temperature of the waste water, and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigerator;
[0021] 2) The heat of the waste water is regulated by the steam heat exchanger and steam regulating valve group, solving the problem of insufficient waste water heat in the primary cooler, which requires the refrigeration station to have both waste water type refrigeration units and steam type refrigeration units, thereby reducing overall investment and saving operating costs;
[0022] 3) Through the interlocking control of the steam regulating valve group and the four thermometers on the waste hot water pipeline, the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the waste hot water type chiller can be accurately controlled. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] In this embodiment, the refrigeration process of recovering the waste heat of the coking high-temperature condensate coupled with steam temperature control is as follows:
[0043] High-temperature condensate (160°C or higher) from the crude benzene distillation unit 1, ammonium sulfate unit 2, and ammonia distillation unit 3 in the coking plant is recovered through high-temperature condensate recovery pipeline 4 and then fed to condensate heat exchanger 8 for waste heat recovery.

After the 74°C waste hot water is heated to 78°C, it enters the waste hot water type refrigerator 15 through the waste hot water pipe four 13. After doing work, the temperature is reduced to 63°C. It is then pressurized by the waste hot water booster pump 16 and sent to the three-stage gas primary cooler 5 through the waste hot water pipe one 6 for cooling the high-temperature raw gas.
[0047] The above process is repeated.
[0048] In the waste water type refrigeration machine 15, the low temperature water of 23°C is cooled to 16°C after being refrigerated, and the low temperature water of 16°C is sent to the low temperature water users of the coking plant.
