Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment, and more specifically to the field of condensate treatment for heating units. Background Technology

[0002] When the low-pressure cylinder of the ultra-high pressure heating unit operates at zero output, most of the steam enters the heat exchanger of the heating network for heating, and the resulting condensate is recovered to the deaerator. Only a small portion of the steam enters the low-pressure cylinder to cool the low-pressure rotor and remove heat generated by the blower. According to the technical requirements for the zero-output modification of the low-pressure cylinder, the intake air volume of the low-pressure cylinder is approximately 20 t / h, resulting in a reduction in condensate volume. Under this condition, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the condensate pump, the condensate pump needs to operate in recirculation mode, with a recirculation flow rate of approximately 100 t / h. With a stable condensate vacuum, the reduced condensate volume and the resulting carbon dioxide enrichment lead to an increase in carbon dioxide content in the condensate. This is the fundamental reason for the excessive hydrogen conductivity in the condensate of the ultra-high pressure heating unit during zero-output operation of the low-pressure cylinder. Furthermore, the ultra-high pressure unit does not have a condensate polishing device; the condensate enters the deaerator through the low-pressure feedwater system, easily causing corrosion of the condensate and the heated surfaces of the low-pressure feedwater system. Although some carbon dioxide can be removed by adjusting the opening of the deaerator exhaust valve, a large amount of heat energy is wasted, affecting the economic operation of the unit.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Implementation Method 1: See Figure 1 This embodiment describes a zero-output condensate treatment device for a low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit. The device includes an anion bed 1, a resin trap 2, an electric demineralized water inlet gate 7, a water inlet 18, and a water outlet 19.

[0029] The inlet 18 is connected to the inlet of the anion bed 1; the inlet of the anion bed 1 is also connected to the external demineralized water supply end through the demineralized water inlet electric gate 7; the outlet of the anion bed 1 is connected to the outlet 19; the resin trap 2 is connected in series between the anion bed 1 and the outlet 19.

[0030] The anion bed 1 is a sealed tank, and the tank is equipped with: a water distribution device 9, two sets of dual-speed water caps 10, OH type resin 11, an upper perforated plate 13 and a lower perforated plate 14;

[0031] During the process of condensate flowing from the inlet to the outlet of the anion bed 1, it flows sequentially through the water distribution device 9, the upper perforated plate 13, the OH type resin 11 and the lower perforated plate 14; a set of dual-speed water caps 10 are installed on the upper perforated plate 13 and a set of dual-speed water caps 10 are installed on the lower perforated plate 14.

[0032] The working principle of the condensate treatment device described in this embodiment is as follows: Condensate enters the anion bed 1 through the inlet 18, is evenly distributed by the water distribution device 9, and then permeates downward through the upper perforated plate 13. It then undergoes desalination and impurity removal treatment through the OH-type resin 11, and finally flows out through the lower perforated plate 14. The resin trap 11 further purifies the condensate, removing residual resin particles. This treatment process ensures that the condensate meets the zero-output requirement of the low-pressure cylinder of the heating unit.

[0033] Implementation Method 2: This implementation method is a further limitation of the zero-output condensate treatment device for the low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method 1. In this implementation method, the inlet flow rate of the anion bed 1 is 100 m³ / h, and the flow velocity is 90 m / h to 100 m / h.

[0034] By limiting the influent flow rate and design flow velocity, it is possible to ensure that the condensate has an appropriate residence time in the anion bed 1 in order to effectively remove suspended solids and biological contaminants.

[0035] Implementation Method 3: This implementation method is a further limitation of the zero-output condensate treatment device for a low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method 1. In this implementation method, the anion bed 1 further includes a viewing hole 12, which is provided on the side wall of the sealed tank. A transparent plate is embedded and fixed in the viewing hole 12, and the transparent plate is sealed and fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealed tank.

[0036] The sight glass 12 provides real-time monitoring and observation, helping operators understand the operation of the condensate treatment unit, promptly identify problems, and take appropriate measures. This helps ensure the normal and efficient operation of the condensate treatment unit, improving the efficiency and quality of condensate treatment.

[0037] Implementation Method 4: This implementation method is a further limitation of the zero-output condensate treatment device for a low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method 3. In this implementation method, the device further includes an inlet electric valve 3 and an outlet electric valve 6; the inlet electric valve 3 is connected in series between the inlet 18 and the inlet of the anion bed 1; the outlet electric valve 6 is connected in series between the outlet 19 and the resin trap 2.

[0038] By adding inlet electric valve 3 and outlet electric valve 6, the inlet and outlet flow rates of condensate can be controlled more flexibly to adapt to different operating conditions and needs. This helps improve the operating efficiency and stability of the condensate treatment unit, ensuring the treatment effect and quality of the condensate.

[0039] Implementation Method 5: This implementation method is a further limitation of the zero-output condensate treatment device for the low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method 4. In this implementation method, the device further includes a booster electric valve 4 and an exhaust electric valve 5. The booster electric valve 4 is connected in parallel with the water inlet electric valve 3. The exhaust electric valve 5 is connected to the exhaust port of the anion bed 1.

[0040] By adding electric pressure boosting valves and electric exhaust valves, the inlet and outlet pressures of condensate can be adjusted, increasing the flow rate and efficiency of condensate in the anion exchange bed and ensuring the normal operating pressure inside the anion exchange bed. This helps improve the operating efficiency and stability of the condensate treatment unit, further optimizing the treatment effect and quality of the condensate.

[0041] Implementation Method Six: This implementation method is a further limitation of the zero-output condensate treatment device for a low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method Five. In this implementation method, the device further includes two pressure gauges 15, one of which is used to collect and display the pressure of the inlet 18 of the anion bed 1, and the other pressure gauge 15 is used to collect and display the pressure of the outlet 19.

[0042] By installing pressure gauges, the pressure before the inlet electric valve and the pressure at the outlet of the condensate bed can be monitored in real time. The pressure gauges provide pressure information within the condensate treatment unit, helping operators understand the system's operating status and pressure changes.

[0043] Implementation Method Seven: This implementation method is a further limitation of the zero-output condensate treatment device for a low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method Six. In this implementation method, the device further includes a hydrogen conductivity meter 16, which is used to detect the hydrogen conductivity of the condensate at the outlet 19.

[0044] By installing a hydrogen conductivity meter, the effluent quality of the condensate treatment unit can be monitored in real time, thereby evaluating the effectiveness of condensate treatment and the stability of water quality.

[0045] Implementation Method 8: This implementation method is a further limitation of the zero-output condensate treatment device for the low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method 7. In this implementation method, the device further includes a bypass electric door 8; the bypass electric door 8 is connected in series between the water inlet 18 and the water outlet 19.

[0046] By installing a bypass electric gate, the flow path of condensate can be adjusted under specific circumstances to meet different treatment requirements.

[0047] When the hydrogen conductivity of the condensate meets the standard requirements, the bypass electric valve 8 is opened, and the condensate returns to the condenser via the bypass.

[0048] When the hydrogen conductivity of the condensate exceeds the standard requirements, open the pressure boosting electric valve 4. When the pressure indicated by the two pressure gauges 15 is the same, open the inlet electric valve 3 and the outlet electric valve 6, start the anion bed 1 into operation, and close the bypass electric valve 8 at the same time.

[0049] When the hydrogen conductivity meter reading is ≥0.15μS / cm or the pressure difference of pressure gauge 15 is greater than 0.3MPa, open the bypass electric valve 8, close the inlet electric valve 3 and the outlet electric valve 6, open the exhaust electric valve 5 to release pressure, and close the exhaust electric valve 5 when the pressure gauge 15 indicates zero pressure, and the anion bed 1 is taken out of operation.

[0050] Implementation Method Nine: This implementation method is a further limitation of the zero-output condensate treatment device for a low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method Eight. In this implementation method, the device further includes an automatic control system 17, which is used to collect the pressure signal output by the pressure gauge 15. The automatic control system 17 outputs control signals to the inlet electric valve 3, the pressure boosting electric valve 4, the exhaust electric valve 5, the outlet electric valve 6, and the bypass electric valve 8, respectively.

[0051] The automatic control system 17 can control the inlet electric valve 3, the booster electric valve 4, the exhaust electric valve 5, the outlet electric valve 6, and the bypass electric valve 8 according to preset parameters and set logic, so as to realize the automatic operation and regulation of the condensate treatment device.

[0052] Implementation Method 10: This implementation method further defines the zero-output condensate treatment device for the low-pressure cylinder of a heating unit described in Implementation Method 9. In this implementation method, the automatic control system 17 has a computer program-implemented control module embedded inside. The control module includes:

[0053] Signal acquisition unit: used to acquire the two pressure signals sent by the two pressure gauges 15 in real time;

[0054] Signal processing unit: used to compare two pressure signals, and when the two pressure signals are the same, send a valve control signal to the valve control unit;

[0055] Valve control unit: When a valve control signal is received, it sends control signals to the pressure boosting electric valve 4, the inlet electric valve 3, and the outlet electric valve 6 respectively, so that the pressure boosting electric valve 4 closes and the inlet electric valve 3 and the outlet electric valve 6 open.

[0056] This implementation uses an automatic control system 17 to monitor the internal pressure and control the opening and closing of relevant valves when necessary to ensure timely treatment of condensate.
