Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a heat storage and heat exchange device, and more particularly to a fluctuating steam heat storage and heat exchange device and method. Background Technology

[0002] The steel industry generates a large amount of waste heat during production. Currently, medium- and high-grade waste heat has been almost completely utilized, while the utilization rate of low-temperature waste heat resources is low. For example, the large amount of discontinuous fluctuating steam generated during the pressurized hot quenching process of steel slag cannot be integrated into the plant's low-pressure steam network due to its low temperature and impurities. Furthermore, the intermittent nature and corrosiveness of this quenching steam make its recovery and utilization difficult, and currently it can only be discharged into the atmosphere. This not only pollutes the environment but also results in a significant waste of water and thermal energy resources. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a fluctuating steam heat storage and exchange device, which can solve the problem of recycling intermittent polluted steam and generate clean, high-temperature secondary water that can be used for power generation or winter heating.

[0004] This invention provides a fluctuating steam thermal storage and heat exchange device, including...

[0005] The tank body, heat exchanger, and spraying device are provided, with the spraying device located in the upper part of the tank body and the heat exchanger located in the lower part of the tank body.

[0006] The bottom of the tank is connected to the spraying device via an upper pipe section through an upper circulation inlet and to the middle of the tank via a lower pipe section through a lower circulation inlet. A circulating water pump is installed on the lifting pipe.

[0007] A steam inlet is provided on the tank body between the spray device and the lower circulation inlet.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting pipeline, the upper pipe section, and the lower pipe section are connected by a connecting valve.

[0009] Preferably, the tank includes a vent valve located at the top.

[0010] Preferably, a filter is installed on the section of the riser pipe between the inlet and the circulating water pump.

[0011] Preferably, the heat exchanger is a liquid heat exchanger, including a secondary water inlet at the bottom and a secondary water outlet at the top. The water discharged through the secondary water outlet can be connected to an ORC generator set for power generation or to a heating system for heating.

[0012] Preferably, a sewage discharge pipe is provided on the lifting pipeline, the inlet end of which is connected to the lower section of the lifting pipeline through a sewage discharge valve, and the outlet end is a sewage discharge port.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting pipeline is configured as one, two or more, evenly distributed around the outer periphery of the tank; the bottom of the tank is connected to the spray device via the upper pipe section through the upper circulation inlet and to the middle of the tank via the lower pipe section through the lower circulation inlet, and a circulating water pump is installed on the lifting pipeline.

[0014] Preferably, the tank and its external circulation pipeline are insulated; the heat exchanger includes corrosion-resistant and scale-inhibiting non-metallic heat exchange tubes.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for fluctuating steam thermal storage and heat exchange, based on the above-mentioned fluctuating steam thermal storage and heat exchange device, comprising the following steps:

[0016] 1) The tank is pre-filled with liquid, steam is injected through the steam inlet, and the spray device is turned on. The water sprayed from the spray device comes into contact with the steam and forms droplets that fall into the tank.

[0017] 2) Turn on the heat exchanger so that the secondary water enters the heat exchanger through the secondary water inlet for heat exchange and is discharged through the secondary water outlet;

[0018] 3) When the steam flow rate increases, start the circulation pump of at least one riser pipeline and the corresponding upper pipe section, so that the liquid in the tank enters the spray device through the upper circulation inlet of the riser pipeline; when the steam flow rate continues to increase, start the circulation pump of at least two riser pipelines and the corresponding upper pipe sections, so that the liquid in the tank enters the spray device through the corresponding riser pipeline and each upper circulation inlet.

[0019] Alternatively, when the steam flow rate decreases, both the circulating pump and the upper section of the riser pipeline are shut down;

[0020] Alternatively, when the temperature difference in the tank increases, the circulation pump of at least one lifting pipeline and the corresponding upper pipe section are turned on, so that the liquid in the tank enters the spray device through the upper circulation inlet of the lifting pipeline; when the temperature difference continues to increase, the circulation pump of at least two lifting pipelines and the corresponding upper pipe sections are turned on, so that the liquid in the tank enters the spray device through the corresponding lifting pipeline and each upper circulation inlet.

[0021] 4) Adjust the vent valve to maintain the pressure inside the tank within a certain range; open it when the pressure is high and close it when the pressure is low.

[0022] Preferably, in the above method, the drain valve is opened to allow the dirt and / or liquid at the bottom of the tank to be discharged from the drain outlet via the drain pipe.

[0023] The present invention has the following technical effects:

[0024] This invention addresses the problem of intermittently fluctuating polluted steam emitted by steel enterprises or other industrial facilities. It recovers the heat from this steam and converts it into continuously output clean hot water, which can then be used to power an ORC generator set or for winter heating. This invention solves the problem of recovering and utilizing intermittent polluted steam, producing clean, high-temperature secondary water that can be used for power generation or winter heating. The upper circulation design enhances heat exchange between water and steam, increasing the device's heat storage efficiency. The lower circulation design enhances heat exchange among water at different levels within the tank, resulting in a more uniform water temperature. The dual-circulation design for hot water storage increases the device's heat storage and exchange efficiency, maintaining a high temperature for the produced secondary water. Multiple circulation pipelines allow for adjustable spray water flow and provide backup for each other. The use of corrosion-resistant and scale-inhibiting non-metallic heat exchangers not only produces clean secondary water but also avoids corrosion and scaling of the heat exchange equipment.

[0025] Specifically, this invention is applicable to the waste heat recovery of discontinuous stale steam, especially the waste heat recovery of hot quenching steam from steel slag. This invention provides a fluctuating steam heat storage and exchange device, comprising a tank, a heat exchanger, a spray device, a circulating water pump, a vent valve, a connecting valve, a drain valve, a filter, a steam inlet, a drain outlet, a secondary water inlet, a secondary water outlet, an upper circulation inlet, and a lower circulation inlet.

[0026] When the steam flow rate increases, the circulating pump starts and the upward passage of the connecting valve opens. When the steam flow rate continues to increase, the circulating pump starts and the upward passage of the connecting valve opens again. Similarly, when the steam flow rate decreases, the circulating pump and the upward passage of the connecting valve close sequentially. This design allows the spray water flow rate to be adjusted according to the steam flow rate, and the two sets of spray circulation pipelines can serve as backups for each other.

[0027] When the temperature difference in the tank increases, the circulation pump starts and the downward channel of the connecting valve opens. When the temperature difference continues to increase, the circulation pump starts and the downward channel of the connecting valve opens again. The upper circulation can enhance the heat exchange between steam and water, maximizing heat storage, while the lower circulation can keep the water temperature in the tank at a smaller difference, enhancing heat transfer.

[0028] The vent valve keeps the pressure inside the tank within a certain range, opening when the pressure is high and closing when the pressure is low, thus ensuring the safe operation of the tank.

[0029] The drain valve has a channel on the right side for draining the tank. This design not only allows for the periodic removal of dirt from the bottom of the tank, but also helps maintain a certain liquid level inside the tank. Attached Figure Description
