Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a process pipeline heating condensate recovery technology, and in particular to an energy-saving system and method for pipeline heating using condensate. Background Art
[0002] Electric heating uses the energy of electric heating to supplement the heat lost by the heated body in the process flow, thereby maintaining the most reasonable process temperature of the flowing medium. According to calculations, the engineering cost required to use electric heating to provide heat to material pipelines that are prone to freezing in winter is high, and annual operation and maintenance costs are required. At the same time, electric heating is not safe in explosive environments. The engineering costs of steam heating and hot water heating are relatively low, such as a process pipeline heating condensate increase device proposed in patent number CN201621024952.8. Steam heating and hot water heating Under the dual-control environment of energy consumption, steam generated by coal combustion has become a scarce resource. The steam condensate generated in the chemical production device has a temperature of about 90°C. If the waste heat of the steam condensate is recycled and used as a heat source for pipeline heating, it will save energy consumption and reduce costs. As proposed in CN202011175067.0, due to the high temperature of steam condensate, pumping is prone to cavitation and pump corrosion.

The second stream is the same as the first stream, and the two streams are finally collected to the condensate main pipe, and part of the collected steam condensate is redistributed and delivered to each required condensate heating production position, and the other part is delivered to the condensate recovery unit.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the condensate recovery unit includes a condensate recovery component 50, which is mainly composed of a flow meter 501 and a regulating valve 503.

The tenth gate valve 508 is connected to the condensate refining unit.
[0041] In this embodiment, the working principle of the condensate recovery unit and the condensate refining unit is implemented as follows: in actual production, if the storage amount of steam condensate in the condensate tank is greater than the total amount of condensate required by each required heating production position. The flow meter 501 monitors the condensate flow in the pipeline. When the condensate flow meets the setting, the condensate is sent to the condensate refining unit through the ninth gate valve 507 and the tenth gate valve 508; when the condensate flow does not meet the setting, the condensate is sent to the condensate refining unit through the seventh gate valve 502, the third stop valve 505, the regulating valve 503, the fourth stop valve 506, the eighth gate valve 504 to the tenth gate valve 508 in sequence. The condensate is transported to the condensate refining unit for deoxygenation and desalination, and finally reaches the boiler for recycling as boiler feed water.
[0042] Embodiment 2
[0043] This embodiment includes all the contents of the above embodiments. After the waste heat contained in the steam condensate is exchanged at each required heating production station, the steam condensate needs to be recycled and reused to form a closed-loop process for recycling, which does not require replenishment from other production stations. A portion of the condensate output from the condensate heating station 901 is connected to the condensate refining unit via the second control component 70, and part of the condensate is deoxygenated and desalted and recycled as boiler feed water. Another portion of the condensate output from the condensate heating station 901 is connected to the condensate heating unit via the third control component 80, and the low-temperature condensate is heated in the condensate heating unit and then sent to the condensate tank 102 for recycling. Among them, in this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the condensate heating unit includes a condensate heating assembly 60. The condensate heating assembly 60 includes a steam-water mixer 601, and an eleventh gate valve 602 is connected below the steam-water mixer 601. The eleventh gate valve 602 is connected to the condensate output assembly 90 via the third control assembly 80. A sixteenth gate valve 609 is connected above the steam-water mixer 601, and the sixteenth gate valve 609 is connected to the thirteenth gate valve 604. A twelfth gate valve 603 is provided between the eleventh gate valve 602 and the thirteenth gate valve 604. Figure 7 As shown, the soda mixer 601 includes a leg 61 and a container tank 62. The upper and lower ends of the container tank 62 are respectively provided with a first connection port 63 and a second connection port 64. A valve plug 65 is provided inside the container tank 62. The valve plug 65 is connected to an air inlet pipe 66, and low-pressure steam is introduced into the air inlet pipe 66. The first connection port 63 is connected to the eleventh gate valve 602, and the second connection port 64 is connected to the sixteenth gate valve 609. The air inlet pipe 66 is connected to the fifteenth gate valve 606, and the fifteenth gate valve 606 is connected to the third check valve 607, and the third check valve 607 is connected to the fifth stop valve 608, and the fifth stop valve 608 is connected to the fourteenth gate valve 605, wherein the low-pressure steam of other positions is introduced into the soda mixer 601 through the fourteenth gate valve 605.
[0044] In this embodiment, the working principle of the condensate heating unit is as follows: when the steam condensate of other production positions stops being transported, in order to ensure that the pipeline heating energy-saving system can operate normally, the low-pressure steam of other production positions is introduced into the steam-water mixer as a subsequent heating measure. Part of the low-temperature steam condensate of the condensate output assembly 90 enters the steam-water mixer 601 through the third control assembly 80 and the eleventh gate valve 602 for heating. At the same time, the low-pressure steam pipeline from other production positions enters the steam-water mixer through the fourteenth gate valve 605, the fifteenth gate valve 606, the third check valve 607, and the fifth stop valve 608 as a heat source to heat the low-temperature steam condensate. After being heated to the required temperature, it is collected in the condensate tank 102 through the sixteenth gate valve 609 and the thirteenth gate valve 604 for standby use.
[0045] In this embodiment, the energy-saving method of using condensate for pipeline heating of the present invention is mainly carried out according to the following steps: Step 1, transporting steam condensate at about 90°C from other chemical production positions to a condensate tank, recovering the waste heat of the steam condensate, and saving the power consumption of electric heating;
[0046] Step 2: The steam condensate in the condensate tank is divided into two paths, the first path flows to the first condensate distribution component, and the second path flows to the second condensate distribution component. Finally, the two flows are combined to the condensate main pipe, and the combined steam condensate is redistributed and transported to each condensate branch pipe, and finally to each required condensate heating production position;
[0047] Step 3: After the waste heat contained in the steam condensate is exchanged at each required heating production station, it is collected and recovered to the return water main through each condensate branch pipe. In the return water main pipe, it is divided into two flows according to actual production needs. One flow is collected to the condensate tank through the condensate heating unit, and the other flow is sent to the condensate refining unit through the second control component for deoxygenation and desalination, and finally reaches the boiler for recycling as boiler feed water;
[0048] Step 4: During production, if the storage amount of steam condensate in the condensate tank is greater than the total amount of condensate required by each required heating production position, the condensate collected by the condensate distribution unit needs to be separated into another flow direction and sent to the condensate refining unit. When the condensate flow rate meets the setting, the condensate is sent to the condensate refining unit through the ninth gate valve 507 and the tenth gate valve 508; when the condensate flow rate does not meet the setting, the condensate is sent to the condensate refining unit through the seventh gate valve 502, the third stop valve 505, the regulating valve 503, the fourth stop valve 506, and the eighth gate valve 504 to the tenth gate valve 508 in sequence;
[0049] Step five, when the steam condensate from other production positions stops being transported, the low-pressure steam pipelines from other production positions are introduced into the condensate heating unit, and the low-temperature steam condensate in the return water main enters the steam-water mixer through the third control component for heating. At the same time, the low-pressure steam from other production positions enters the steam-water mixer and serves as a heat source to heat the low-temperature steam condensate, which is then heated to the required temperature and then flows into the condensate tank.
[0050] In this embodiment, when the steam condensate of other production stations stops being transported, the steam condensate is returned to the condensate tank after condensate distribution, heat exchange, condensate recovery, and condensate heating, thus forming a closed-loop process for recycling. It does not need to be replenished by other production stations and can be recycled, replacing high-cost and high-energy-consuming electric heating and steam heating, thus achieving the purpose of energy saving and consumption reduction.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
