Specifically:

[0074] 3.1. The present invention modifies the cooling water calculation formula and adds a cooling water heat transfer correction coefficient $k$, rather than assuming that all the heat of the steam-gas mixture is absorbed by the cooling water. The modified calculation formula is as follows:

[0089] 3.2. Determine the number n of each layer of cooling water nozzles 84 in the condenser 8 according to the diameter D of the condenser 8 and the following relationship:

[0090] 2 ≤ n / D ≤ 4;

[0091] 3.3. Determine the number of layers m of the cooling water nozzles 84 in the condenser 8 through the following relationship:

[0092] 0.05 ≤ m / H ≤ 0.2

[0093] In the formula: m is the number of layers of the cooling water nozzles 84; H is the height of the condenser 8;

[0094] 3.4. Calculate the cooling water volume q1 of each cooling water nozzle 84 through the following formula:

[0095] q1 = q / m / n

[0096] In the formula: q1 is the cooling water volume of a single cooling water nozzle 84, and the unit is kg / s;

[0103] As Figure 5 shown, a cooling system for cooling high-temperature gas in a vacuum environment includes a multi-stage condensation unit connected in sequence along the gas flow direction, as well as a water distributor 1 and a water seal pool 9;

[0104] The water distributor 1 is used to connect to an external cooling water source, and a cooling water flow meter 5 and an inlet main valve 3 are sequentially arranged on the cooling water supply pipeline 6 between the inlet of the water distributor 1 and the external cooling water source along the water flow direction; an inlet bypass valve 4 is arranged in parallel at both ends of the inlet main valve 3 to balance the water pressure at both ends of the inlet main valve 3;

[0105] Each stage of the condensation unit includes an ejector 11 and the above-mentioned cooling system 8 for cooling high-temperature gas in a vacuum environment arranged in sequence along the gas flow direction; the outlet of the ejector 11 is communicated with the air inlet 88 of the corresponding condenser 8, and the exhaust port 82 of the condenser 8 is connected to the inlet of the ejector 11 of the next-stage condensation unit; the ejector 11 of the first-stage condensation unit is used to receive the motive steam of the generator 10 and the load gas of the engine 12 and form a steam-gas mixture; the exhaust port 82 of the condenser 8 of the last-stage condensation unit is communicated with the atmosphere through an exhaust pipeline 13; the condenser 8 is used to cool down and decelerate the steam-gas mixture and discharge the condensable part in the steam-gas mixture into the water seal pool;

[0106] The water inlet of the condenser 8 is connected to the outlet of the water distributor 1 through a cooling water inlet pipe 81. A water supply valve 2 and a water flow regulating valve 7 are provided on the cooling water inlet pipe 81. The drain outlet of the condenser 8 is connected to the water seal tank 9 through a drain pipe 85. A vacuum compensation pipe 86 is also provided between the drain pipe 85 and the water seal tank 9, where the total length L of the drain pipe 85 and the vacuum compensation pipe 86 is the distance between the drain outlet and the water surface of the water seal tank 9. The gas distribution component 83 is located between the air inlet 88 and the exhaust outlet 82 of the condenser 8 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the condenser body 80. The cooling water spray head 84 is arranged on the spray head water supply pipeline 87 of the condenser body 80.

[0107] In this embodiment, the water distributor 1 is a columnar container with an elliptical head, and its volume is determined according to the water volume required by all condensers 8. The water supply valve 2 is a remotely controlled butterfly valve. The inlet main valve 3 is a butterfly valve used for opening and closing the water supply of the water distributor 1 and adjusting the total flow rate of all condensers 8. The inlet bypass valve 4 can be a butterfly valve and can also be a ball valve or other types of valves in other embodiments, and is used for balancing the pressure of the pipelines before and after the inlet main valve 3 of the condenser 8 before use. The cooling water flowmeter 5 is used to measure the total flow rate of all condensers 8, generally an electromagnetic flowmeter or an ultrasonic flowmeter. The cooling water supply pipeline 6 is used to supply cooling water to the water distributor 1, and its pipe diameter is determined by calculation based on the total cooling water volume. The water flow regulating valve 7 is a manual butterfly valve, and the water flow rate entering each condenser 8 is adjusted by the opening of the butterfly valve. Since the condenser 8 is in a vacuum environment during operation, a water seal tank 9 is provided to block the drain pipe 86 of the condenser 8. The generator 10 is used to supply motive steam that meets the usage requirements to the ejector 11.

[0108] The condensation unit consists of three-stage ejectors 11 + three-stage condensers 8. In the ejector 11, the motive steam and the load gas are entrained, pressurized, and decelerated. The outlet of the first-stage ejector is connected to the first-stage condenser, the outlet of the second-stage ejector is connected to the second-stage condenser, and the outlet of the third-stage ejector is connected to the third-stage condenser. The ejector 11 is used to suck in the load gas, and the load gas can be air, engine gas, or other gases. The ejector 11 has a relatively high vacuum degree, and is pressurized step by step through the ejector 11, and is pressurized to atmospheric pressure in the exhaust pipe 13 and discharged from the ejector 11 through the exhaust pipe 13.

[0109] Cooling water flows through two cooling water inlet pipes 81 on the condenser 8 and enters the condenser body 80. The cooling water enters from the top and exits from the bottom. The air inlet 88 of the condenser 8 is located at the lower end of the condenser 8. The load gas mixed with motive steam enters the air inlet 88 of the condenser 8. The load gas enters from the bottom and exits from the top. The drain pipe 86 of the condenser 8 is arranged at the bottom of the condenser 8. The cooling water entering the condenser 8 is discharged through the drain pipe 86. Since the condenser 8 is in a vacuum environment during the working process, a vacuum compensation pipe 7 and a water seal pool 9 are provided to block the drain pipe 86 of the condenser 8. The height of the vacuum compensation pipe 7 is determined by the pressure difference between the local atmospheric pressure and the inside of the condenser 8.

[0110] Both the first gas distribution component 8311 and the second gas distribution component 832 can adopt a large-gap grid structure or a flat plate with holes structure. The first gas distribution component 8311 and the second gas distribution component 832 arranged inside the condenser 8 can achieve the following purposes: First, reduce the velocity of the steam-gas mixture and extend the heat exchange time; Second, force the steam-gas mixture to be more evenly distributed on the cross-section of the condenser 8, ensuring the uniformity of the cooling water temperature rise on the cross-section of the condenser 8, so as to avoid the situation that some cooling water has reached the saturation steam temperature under the vacuum pressure of the condenser 8 and cannot continue to achieve the cooling effect, while the cooling water temperature on another part of the cross-section is still at a relatively low level. The ratio A1 / A of the flow area A1 of the first gas distribution component 8311 and the second gas distribution component 832 to the cross-sectional area A of the condenser 8 should be greater than or equal to 0.7.

[0111] As Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, the cooling water nozzles 84 are arranged circumferentially along the central axis of the condenser body 80 in a Y shape. After the cooling water is atomized by the cooling water nozzles 84, it exchanges heat with the gas entering the condenser 8. The traditional cooling water nozzles 84 are in the form of straight-hole direct injection, and the sprayed cooling water is in the form of a liquid column. The mixing effect of the high-temperature steam-gas mixture and the cooling water is poor. Therefore, the theoretically calculated cooling water temperature rise cannot reach the preset value, and the steam temperature drop cannot reach the preset value, resulting in a low heat exchange efficiency. In this embodiment, the cooling water nozzles 84 adopt impact water nozzles, and their impact method realizes the forced atomization of the cooling water, making the sprayed cooling water disperse in the form of liquid droplets, greatly increasing the contact area between the cooling water and the steam-gas mixture, and improving the heat transfer coefficient.

[0112] The specific working process of opening the condenser 8 is as follows: First, adjust the opening degree of the water flow regulating valve 7 to adjust the amount of water entering the three-stage condenser 8 through the water flow regulating valve 7. Keep the water supply valve 2 closed and open the inlet bypass valve 4. When the pressures before and after the inlet main valve 3 are balanced, open the inlet main valve 3. At this time, the cooling water is supplied to the water distributor 1. Open the water flow regulating valve 7 of the first-stage condenser to an angle and record the opening degree. When adjusting, open the water supply valve 2 one by one to ensure that the amount of water entering each stage of the condenser meets the preset value.
