Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thermal energy utilization, and in particular to a wastewater thermal energy utilization energy-saving device. Background Art

[0002] Wastewater evaporation treatment technology is of great significance in environmental protection and resource recovery. With the acceleration of industrialization, the amount of wastewater discharged has increased significantly, posing a serious threat to water resources and the ecological environment. Wastewater evaporation technology vaporizes the water in the wastewater by heating, leaving dissolved solids or solutes. Common equipment includes multiple-effect evaporators, heat pump evaporators, and evaporation crystallizers. Although this technology requires a lot of thermal energy, modern technology has made many improvements in energy efficiency, such as using waste heat and adopting heat pump technology to reduce energy demand. Wastewater evaporation technology is widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, electroplating and textile, and strict regulations and standards in various countries have promoted the development and improvement of technology. With the application of new materials and automation control technology, the performance and treatment efficiency of wastewater evaporation equipment have been continuously improved, effectively reducing pollutant emissions, achieving efficient utilization of resources, and making important contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0003] The invention patent with application number: CN201810202714.9 and publication number: CN108249499A (hereinafter referred to as "prior art 1") discloses a method and device for low-temperature evaporation and concentration of high-salt wastewater using high-temperature industrial wastewater. The method is that high-temperature industrial wastewater enters an evaporator, and the evaporator is in a vacuum environment. The high-temperature industrial wastewater generates low-pressure water vapor through vacuum evaporation under a vacuum environment. The low-pressure water vapor enters a condenser directly or through a supercharger. In the condenser, the low-pressure water vapor is in direct contact with the high-salt wastewater to perform mixed heat exchange. The condenser is also in a vacuum environment. After the high-temperature and high-salt wastewater is formed, it evaporates again. The evaporated water vapor is discharged and condensed into clean water. The high-salt wastewater with reduced water volume and increased salt content after evaporation is discharged from the condenser. The device includes an evaporator, a condenser and a vacuum pump. The evaporator and the condenser are both connected to the vacuum pump, and the steam discharge port on the evaporator is connected to the condenser.

[0004] The specification of prior art 1 discloses a method and device for low-temperature evaporation and concentration of high-salt wastewater using high-temperature industrial wastewater, which uses waste heat from the enterprise's high-temperature wastewater to evaporate and concentrate the high-salt wastewater. However, in actual applications, due to the low initial temperature of the wastewater, directly evaporating the wastewater will cause a waste of energy. Summary of the invention

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, this embodiment discloses a wastewater heat energy utilization energy-saving device, including: a storage device and a heat exchange device, the storage device includes: a wastewater storage tank 101 and a water pump 102, the wastewater storage tank 101 is used to store low-temperature wastewater, the wastewater storage tank 101 has a water inlet 103, a first water outlet 104 and a second water outlet 105, the first water outlet 104 is connected to the wastewater evaporation feed tank, and the first water outlet 104 and the second water outlet 105 are both provided with the water pump 102;

[0025] The heat exchange device includes: a steam-water separator 107, a first heat exchanger 108 and a second heat exchanger 109. The air inlet end of the first heat exchanger 108 is connected to the hot steam source, and the air outlet end is communicated with the steam-water separator 107. The water inlet end of the first heat exchanger 108 is connected to the second water outlet 105 through the water pump 102, and the water outlet end is connected to the water inlet 103; the two water inlet ends of the second heat exchanger 109 are respectively connected to the electrolytic cooling water source and the second water outlet 105, and the two water discharge ends are respectively connected to the cooling water pool and the wastewater storage tank 101;

[0026] The water inlet end of the second heat exchanger 109 connected to the electrolytic cooling water source is connected to the drainage end connected to the cold water tank, and the other water inlet end is connected to the other drainage end;

[0027] The present invention mainly includes a storage device and a heat exchange device. In actual use, the staff discharges low-temperature wastewater into the wastewater storage tank 101, and then drives the water pump 102 of the second water outlet 105 to start. The water pump 102 pumps the low-temperature wastewater into the water inlet end and the water inlet end of the first heat exchanger 108 and the second heat exchanger 109 respectively, and then controls the hot steam source to pass hot steam to the first heat exchanger 108 and the air inlet end on it. The hot steam exchanges heat with the low-temperature wastewater, and the wastewater is heated and circulated to the wastewater storage tank 101. At the same time, the hot steam is cooled to form warm steam and high-temperature cooling water. The warm steam passes through the first heat exchanger 108 and the air inlet end on it. The gas is discharged from the gas outlet of the first heat exchanger 108 to the steam-water separator 107 for treatment, and the high-temperature cooling water enters the second heat exchanger 109 through the other water inlet of the second heat exchanger 109. The high-temperature cooling water and the low-temperature wastewater exchange heat in the second heat exchanger 109. After the heat exchange is completed, the cooling water is discharged into the cooling water pool, and the wastewater is heated and circulated to the wastewater storage tank 101. The above operation is repeated, thereby increasing the initial temperature of the wastewater in the wastewater storage tank 101. In this way, when evaporating the wastewater, the time for heating the wastewater can be reduced, and the wastewater can be evaporated with less energy, thereby saving energy.

[0028] In some embodiments, there are several wastewater storage tanks 101, and the several wastewater storage tanks 101 are connected by a connecting pipe 110. The first water outlet 104 and the water inlet 103 are located on the leftmost wastewater storage tank 101, and the second water outlet 105 is located on the rightmost wastewater storage tank 101.

[0029] In actual use, providing a plurality of interconnected wastewater storage tanks 101 can increase the capacity of the wastewater storage tank 101, thereby increasing the initial temperature of more wastewater and further reducing energy consumption.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first water outlet 104 and the second water outlet 105 are connected to the water pump 102 via a valve respectively.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first heat exchanger 108 and the second heat exchanger 109 are both plate heat exchangers.

[0032] In actual use, the reason for using plate heat exchangers is that the heat exchange rate of plate heat exchangers is higher, which can further save energy for wastewater evaporation.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first heat exchanger 108 has two air inlets, and both air inlets are connected to a hot steam source.

[0034] In actual use, the purpose of providing two air inlets is to allow hot steam to pass into the efficiency clamp of the first heat exchanger 108, thereby improving the efficiency of wastewater heat exchange.

[0035] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 110 is a flange structure.

[0036] In actual use, the connecting pipe 110 of the flange structure can be more easily disassembled from the wastewater storage tank 101 and has better sealing performance.

[0037] In some embodiments, the wastewater storage tank 101 further has a water inlet pipe 111, and the water inlet pipe 111 is used to connect to a low-temperature wastewater source.

[0038] In some embodiments, the inventors have found that in cold weather, the heated wastewater will cool down in the wastewater storage tank 101 due to weather factors, which will increase the energy consumption of wastewater evaporation; according to this improvement idea, Figure 2As shown, an insulation device is arranged outside the wastewater storage tank 101, and the insulation device is used to insulate the wastewater inside the wastewater storage tank 101; the insulation device includes an insulation cover 112, an outer coil 113 and a heating rod 114, the heating rod 114 is installed at the center position inside the wastewater storage tank 101, the insulation cover 112 is installed on the outer wall of the wastewater storage tank 101, the outer coil 113 is installed inside the insulation cover 112 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wastewater storage tank 101, the inlet of the outer coil 113 is connected to the outlet end of the hot steam source, and the outlet end of the outer coil 113 is connected to the steam-water separator 107.

[0039] During actual use, the hot steam source circulates hot steam into the outer coil 113, so that the wastewater in the wastewater storage tank 101 is fully insulated, and the exhausted hot steam flows into the steam-water separator 107 for treatment; the advantage of this arrangement is that the temperature of the wastewater in the wastewater storage tank 101 can be guaranteed in cold weather, so that energy consumption can be reduced when the subsequent wastewater evaporates.
