[0124] S100: Extract the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rates, and composition of each hot stream that needs to be cooled by circulating cooling water in the circulating cooling water distribution system; extract the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rates, and composition of the cold stream (i.e., circulating cooling water) in the system. Determine the heat capacity flow rate of each hot stream and cold stream based on the stream flow rate, composition, and heat capacity flow rate definition formula; determine the heat absorbed by the cold stream / released by the hot stream based on the inlet and outlet temperatures and heat capacity flow rates of the cold / hot streams, and record it as the heat load; Figure 2 As shown in , according to the inlet and outlet temperatures and heat load, each stream is represented by a straight line segment (temperature-enthalpy line), the vertical coordinates of its two end points represent the inlet and outlet temperatures respectively, and the difference between the horizontal coordinates (i.e., enthalpy difference) represents the heat load of the stream; Figure 3 As shown, all hot streams are combined to obtain a thermal composite curve. The difference between the horizontal coordinates of each end point represents the sum of the heat loads of all hot streams in the temperature range. Similarly, a cold composite curve (i.e., a circulating water composite curve) is drawn. Then, the two are expressed together on the temperature-enthalpy diagram, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown;

[0125] In this step, the relationship between the heat load of the hot stream and the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rate and composition is expressed as:

[0126]

[0127] and

[0128]

[0129] Where ΔQ h is the heat load of the hot stream, that is, the heat released by the hot stream; CP h is the heat capacity flow rate of the heat stream; is the inlet temperature of the hot stream; is the outlet temperature of the hot stream; m h,AiComponent A in the hot stream i Traffic flow; Cp Ai Indicates component A i The specific heat capacity; n represents the number of components in the heat flow.

[0130] The relationship between the heat load of the cold stream (circulating cooling water) and its inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rate and composition is expressed as:

[0131]

[0132] and

[0133] CP w =m w Cp w

[0134] Where ΔQ w The heat absorbed by the cold stream; CP w represents the heat capacity flow rate of the cold stream; is the outlet temperature of the cold stream; is the inlet temperature of the cold stream; m w Indicates the cold stream flow rate; Cp w Represents the specific heat capacity of the cold stream.

[0135] Combine all hot streams / cold streams to obtain the hot composite curve / cold composite curve respectively:

[0136] 1) Divide the temperature range according to the inlet and outlet temperatures of each hot / cold stream;

[0137] 2) The hot / cold streams in each temperature interval are combined to obtain the corresponding composite hot / cold stream. The heat capacity flow rate and heat load of the composite hot / cold stream in each temperature interval are the sum of the heat capacity flow rates and heat loads of all hot / cold streams in the corresponding temperature interval, that is,

[0138]

[0139] Where ΔH k represents the heat load of the kth temperature zone; m is the number of streams in the kth temperature zone; CP m represents the heat capacity flow rate of the mth stream in the kth temperature zone; T k is the upper limit temperature of the kth temperature zone; T k+1 is the lower limit temperature of the kth temperature zone.

[0140] 3) Draw the temperature-enthalpy curves for the composite hot / cold flows within each temperature range on the temperature-enthalpy diagram and connect them end to end to obtain composite curves for multiple hot / cold flows, called the hot composite curve / cold composite curve. Note: The cold flows mentioned in this article are all circulating cooling water, and the cold composite curve refers to the circulating water composite curve.

[0141] S200: Extract pinch point temperature difference ΔT min Extract different grades of saturated steam and their corresponding temperatures; extract the upper limit of the cooling tower's design return water temperature; extract the maximum allowable circulating water flow rate on the cold flow side of each heat exchanger in the system, and then extract the minimum value, which is the maximum feasible circulating water flow rate in the series water distribution system;

[0142] In this step, the saturated steam grade is related to actual industrial demand. Here we extract the commonly used saturated steam grades. The different saturated steam grades and their corresponding temperatures are as follows:

[0143] High-pressure steam: pressure 9.8~12.5MPaG, temperature 310~328℃

[0144] Medium-pressure steam: pressure 3.5-4.2 MPaG, temperature 242-253°C

[0145] Low-pressure steam: pressure 0.8~2.5MPaG, temperature 170~225℃

[0146] Low-pressure steam: 0.25-0.5 MPaG, temperature 127-151°C

[0147] Steam heating: 80~120℃

[0148] Due to design limitations, each heat exchanger has an upper limit on the circulating water flow rate on the cold side, and the minimum value is m max , m max This is the maximum feasible flow rate of circulating water in the series water distribution system, which can be expressed as,

[0149] m max =min(m 1,max , m 2,max ,..,m n,max )

[0150] Among them, m n,max is the maximum circulating cooling water flow allowed for the nth heat exchanger;

[0151] Flow rate is m max The circulating cooling water flows through each heat exchanger in series, and the final temperature after heat exchange with the hot flow can be expressed as,

[0152]

[0153] Where f is the heat exchanger action function; A total It represents the total heat transfer area of ​​each heat exchanger in the circulating water system; K represents the total heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger.

The vertical coordinate value corresponding to the intersection is the lower limit of the temperature of the circulating water by-product steam, which is recorded as The intersection is used as the highest endpoint to connect the lowest endpoint of the original cold composite curve to construct a new cold composite curve. The maximum flow rate of the circulating water that can be produced as steam can be determined based on the slope of the cold composite curve, which is recorded as The relationship between the slope and the maximum flow rate of circulating water that can be produced as steam can be expressed as:

The vertical coordinate corresponding to the intersection is the highest return water temperature of the circulating water returning to the cooling tower, which is recorded as The intersection is used as the highest endpoint to connect the lowest endpoint of the cold composite curve to construct a new cold composite curve. Based on the slope of the cold composite curve, the minimum return flow rate of the circulating water to remove the excess heat from the system and return to the cooling tower can be determined, which is recorded as The relationship between the slope and the minimum return flow of circulating water can be expressed as,

[0157] Based on the maximum feasible flow rate of circulating water in the series water distribution system extracted by S200, the maximum return water flow rate and the corresponding minimum return water temperature when the circulating cooling water removes the excess heat of the system and returns to the cooling tower are determined: the maximum feasible flow rate of circulating water in the series water distribution system m max It is the maximum return flow rate of the circulating cooling water when it removes the excess heat from the system and returns to the cooling tower, which can be recorded as The slope of the cold composite curve can be determined based on the maximum return water flow rate.

[0161] In step S100, the heat absorbed by the cold stream / released by the hot stream in the circulating water cooling system is calculated based on the relationship between the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rates, and composition of the cold and hot streams, as shown in Table 1. All hot streams are combined to form a thermal composite curve, where the difference between the abscissas of each endpoint represents the sum of the heat loads of all hot streams within that temperature range. Similarly, a cold composite curve (i.e., a circulating water composite curve) is plotted, and both are then displayed together on a temperature-enthalpy diagram.

[0163]

[0164] In step S200, the pinch point temperature difference ΔT min The maximum flow rate of circulating water in the series water distribution system is 22,000 kg / h.

[0165] In step S300, based on the hot composite curve and the cold composite curve of S100 and the pinch point temperature difference ΔT extracted in S200 min By adjusting the circulating cooling water flow rate, the upper temperature limit of the circulating cooling water flowing through each heat exchanger in series is determined to be 100°C. The relationship between the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rates and composition of the cold stream is used to calculate that the corresponding minimum flow rate of the by-product steam is 60750kg / h; based on the hot composite curve and cold composite curve of S100 and the different grades of saturated steam extracted by S200 and their corresponding temperatures, the lower temperature limit of the circulating water by-product steam is determined to be 80°C. By calculating the relationship between the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rates and composition of the cold stream, the corresponding maximum flow rate of the by-product steam is 84116 kg / h; Note: The temperature of the currently generated steam is relatively low, and the by-product steam can also be converted into by-product hot water as needed.

[0166] In step S400, based on the thermal composite curve and cold composite curve of S100 and the upper limit of the cooling tower design return water temperature extracted in S200 of 50°C, it is determined that the maximum return water temperature when the circulating cooling water removes the surplus heat of the system and returns to the cooling tower is 50°C. The corresponding minimum return water flow rate is calculated as 198,819 kg / h through the relationship between the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rates and composition of the cold stream. The maximum feasible flow rate of circulating water in the series water distribution system extracted based on S200 is 220,000 kg / h. The corresponding minimum return water temperature of 47°C is calculated through the relationship between the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rates and composition of the cold stream.

[0167] In step S500, the feasibility of the series distribution of circulating cooling water is analyzed based on the cold and hot composite curves of S300 and S400.

[0169] Currently, due to the complexity of the circulating cooling water series distribution process, unclear mechanism, unclear coupling relationship between the circulating water flow rate and the supply and return water temperature and the cooling tower, there are few reports on the analysis method for the feasibility of the series connection of the water distribution system. The feasibility analysis method of the series connection of the circulating water distribution system disclosed in the present invention is based on strict material balance and energy balance. By introducing the idea of ​​the series connection of the water distribution system and using the temperature-enthalpy diagram, it can intuitively reflect the coupling relationship between the heat flow and the circulating water in the water distribution system. At the same time, the series connection of the water distribution system can achieve a significant reduction in the water consumption and energy consumption of the circulating water system. In addition, it provides a certain direction for the development of the parallel connection of the water distribution system to the high-quality series connection.

[0170] In one embodiment, the inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rates, and compositions of the cold / hot streams are extracted to determine the heat absorbed / released therefrom, recorded as heat load, and all the cold / hot streams are merged to obtain a cold / hot composite curve, which is represented on a temperature-enthalpy diagram; the pinch point temperature difference is extracted, saturated steam of different grades and their corresponding temperatures are extracted, the upper limit of the design return water temperature of the cooling tower is extracted, and the maximum feasible flow rate of the circulating water in the series water distribution system is extracted; based on the saturated steam of different grades and their corresponding temperatures, the lower limit of the temperature of the by-product steam of the circulating water is determined, and based on the cold-hot composite curve and the pinch point temperature difference, the maximum temperature of the by-product steam that can be reached after the circulating cooling water flows through each heat exchanger in series is determined; based on the cold-hot composite curve and the upper limit of the design return water temperature of the cooling tower, the maximum return water temperature of the circulating cooling water that removes the surplus heat from the system and returns to the cooling tower is determined, and based on the maximum feasible flow rate of the circulating water in the series water distribution system, the minimum return water temperature of the circulating cooling water that removes the surplus heat from the system and returns to the cooling tower is determined.
