Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a high-vacuum micro-pressure difference control device for desulfurized slurry staged flash evaporation heat recovery, belonging to the technical field of waste heat heating of coal-fired boilers. Background Technique

[0002] During the heat production process of boilers, a large amount of high-temperature flue gas is discharged. Recovering the waste heat of the flue gas can not only reduce the heat loss of the boiler, but also reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of pollutants such as greenhouse gases, and improve the thermal efficiency of the boiler. In recent years, a method of using desulfurized slurry flash evaporation + absorption heat pump for waste heat recovery of flue gas has emerged, that is, the heat in the flue gas is taken out from the desulfurized slurry through a flash tank, and the flash steam is sent to the heat pump for waste heat recovery, and the return water of the heat network or other process water is heated, while the concentrated liquid returns to the desulfurized circulating water. Its advantages are: there is no need to transform the flue gas system, reducing the on-site implementation difficulty; the quality of the condensate water is good, which is convenient for recycling. However, the disadvantages are also very obvious: the flue gas temperature can usually only be reduced to 42-45°C, recovering about half of the waste heat of the flue gas, which does not belong to deep heat recovery and can only be regarded as a half-finished project. There is still a large amount of waste heat of the flue gas escaping from the flue gas in vain. Future secondary transformation is still needed to achieve deep heat recovery. The cost calculated for the unit waste heat recovery amount is relatively high, and the investment payback period is long. The fundamental reason why it cannot reduce the flue gas temperature to the 30°C level and achieve deep heat recovery is: firstly, the desulfurized slurry flash evaporation complete set of equipment is a vacuum equipment, its system integration is relatively complex, the guarantee requirements are high, and the lower the flash steam temperature, the larger the specific volume, the larger the equipment volume, and the higher the cost; secondly, a large amount of non-condensable gases such as SO2 will escape during the desulfurized slurry flash evaporation process. The flash steam is sent to the absorption heat pump, and it is difficult to evacuate during the condensation heat release process in the horizontal evaporator of the heat pump. The absolute pressure during actual operation can only be maintained at about 7-8 kPa. It is very difficult to further improve the vacuum degree with the existing equipment and conditions, and it is impossible to further improve the vacuum degree like a normal condenser. Therefore, the saturation temperature of the flash steam can only be reduced to the 38-40°C level, resulting in the flue gas temperature can only be reduced to the 40-45°C level. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose and task of the utility model are to, aiming at the current inherent technical limitations of the waste heat recovery system of the flue gas by the desulfurized slurry flash evaporation method, adopt the micro-pressure difference control technology to deeply extract non-condensable gases such as SO2 generated during the condensation heat exchange of the flash steam, and construct a brand-new technical integration system for deep recovery of flue gas by desulfurized slurry staged flash evaporation.

A hot well liquid level measurement and control component 36c is also provided inside and outside the hot well. The upper part of the alkali liquid spraying device 36a is a region with a high content of SO2 non-condensable gas S1, and above the condensate liquid level of the hot well is a region with a low content of SO2 non-condensable gas S2. The condensate outlet of the final heater 36 is connected to the inlet of the final condensate pump 37. The outlet of the final condensate pump 37 is respectively connected to the outlet of the alkali addition pump 30 and the inlet of the alkali liquid spraying device 36a, and is communicated with the outlet pipe of the final-discharged condensate W2. The inlet of the alkali addition pump 30 is communicated with the feed pipe of the sodium hydroxide solution Na. The outlet of the waterproof non-condensable gas suction device 36b is connected to the intake port of the micro-pressure difference vacuum pump 38. The exhaust port of the micro-pressure difference vacuum pump 38 is connected to the inlet of the preconnection pipe 25 and the preheater 26 through a first switching valve 38a, and is connected to the inlet of the vacuum pump 18 and the outlet of the pre-non-condensable gas S above the condensate liquid level of the bottom hot well of the preheater 26 through a second switching valve 38b.

Upstream of the original flue gas inlet pipe is the inlet of the original flue gas Y1 from the boiler outlet, and downstream is the inlet of the original desulfurization tower 1. The top of the original desulfurization tower 1 is the outlet of the clean flue gas Y2.

[0005] The preheater 26 and the final heater 36 respectively adopt a vertical tube heat exchange structure, with a condensate hot well provided at the bottom and a non-condensable gas discharge port provided above the liquid level of the hot well.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows.

[0011] (1) Heat is taken from the desulfurization slurry by means of staged flashing. Among them, the flash steam with lower pressure and temperature generated by the final stage flash tank is preferentially used to heat the process water at a lower temperature, such as demineralized water make-up water, heat network make-up water, low-temperature intermediate water for the first-stage preheating of the boiler inlet air, or low-temperature heat source water of an absorption heat pump, low-temperature heat source water of a compression heat pump and other low-temperature process water, etc.; the flash steam with higher temperature generated by the pre-stage flash tank can be used for the secondary heating of the above-mentioned low-temperature process water, or for heating the process water at a higher temperature such as heat network return water.

[0012] (2) The preheater 26 and the final heater 36 adopt a vertical tube bundle heat exchange structure. Although a large amount of SO2 and the like are contained in the non-condensable gas, the non-condensable gas can still be extracted by their respective vacuum pumps to maintain the required vacuum degree and the pressure of the upstream flash tank.

[0013] (3) The vacuum degree requirement for the space where the non-condensable gas is located at the lower part of the final heater 36 is higher, for example, the absolute pressure reaches the level of 2-4 kPa. The control methods and measures to achieve such a high vacuum degree include: chemically absorbing or physically absorbing components such as SO2 in the non-condensable gas by using sodium hydroxide lye solution, so as to greatly reduce the content of non-condensable gas and significantly improve the vacuum degree; on this basis, the micro differential pressure vacuum pump 38 is used to extract the remaining non-condensable gas and send it to the inlet of the heater (26) or the inlet of the vacuum pump 18, so as to greatly reduce the pressure of the non-condensable gas at the lower part of the final heater, greatly improve the vacuum degree of the final stage flash tank 31, greatly reduce the temperature of its concentrated slurry outlet, and further greatly reduce the flue gas temperature, so as to achieve the maximum recovery of flue gas waste heat.

[0014] (4) The equipment capacity and the required input power of the micro differential pressure vacuum pump 38 are much smaller than those of the conventional vacuum pumping method, reducing energy consumption, initial investment and operating costs.

[0015] (5) The condensate water of the flash steam can also be used as the make-up water for the return water of the heat network, which helps to significantly reduce the water production volume and cost of softened water. At the same time, the comprehensive recovery and utilization of the condensate water also correspondingly greatly reduces the consumption of water resources.

[0016] (6) The vacuum degrees of the flash tanks - heaters at all levels of this solution can be separately and individually adjusted in real time according to the inlet and outlet temperatures of the water to be heated for each of them and the changes in the operating conditions of the entire system, so as to better achieve system operation control, reduce system energy consumption, improve the comprehensive energy-saving benefit and economic benefit.
