[0018] De - white system 100, heat exchange assembly 1, first heat exchanger 11, regulating valve 12, second heat exchanger 13, expansion vessel 2, first temperature measuring device 3, second temperature measuring device 4, controller 5, water inlet pipe 6, bypass pipe 7, bypass valve 8. Detailed Description of the Embodiments

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0020] Refer to the attached Figure 1And Figure 2 , a blanking elimination system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0021] The blanking elimination system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a heat exchange assembly 1, a flash tank 2, and a first temperature measuring device 3. The heat exchange assembly 1 has a heat release side pipeline and a heat absorption side pipeline. The inlet of the heat release side pipeline is supplied with pressurized condensate, and the inlet of the heat absorption side pipeline is supplied with cooling water. The inlet of the flash tank 2 is communicated with the outlet of the heat release side pipeline. The first temperature measuring device 3 is arranged between the outlet of the heat release side pipeline and the inlet of the flash tank 2 to measure the temperature of the pressurized condensate entering the flash tank 2.

[0022] The pressurized condensate is high-pressure and high-temperature water discharged by the regular blowdown of a steam boiler, or, when high-temperature and high-pressure steam flows in a pipeline, part of the steam will condense into water due to heat dissipation and be discharged through a steam trap as pressurized high-temperature condensate. The pressurized condensate enters the heat release side of the heat exchange assembly 1 through the inlet of the heat release side pipeline, and the cooling water enters the heat absorption side of the heat exchange assembly 1 through the inlet of the heat absorption side pipeline. In the heat exchange assembly 1, the cooling water and the pressurized condensate exchange heat. The temperature of the cooling water rises and the temperature of the pressurized condensate drops. Then, the cooling water is discharged from the outlet of the heat absorption side pipeline, and the pressurized condensate is discharged from the outlet of the heat release side pipeline. After being detected by the first temperature measuring device 3, the temperature of the cooled pressurized condensate is obtained, and then the pressurized condensate enters the flash tank 2. When the temperature measured by the first temperature measuring device 3 is lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to the local atmospheric pressure, no steam will be generated when the flash tank 2 discharges the pressurized condensate.

[0023] Among them, the "local" in the saturation temperature corresponding to the local atmospheric pressure refers to the place where the blanking elimination system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used, and the saturation temperature refers to the temperature when the liquid and the vapor are in a dynamic equilibrium state. For example, if the atmospheric pressure at the place of use is the standard atmospheric pressure of 101.325 KPa, then the corresponding saturation temperature is 100 °C.

[0024] The blanking elimination system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention exchanges heat for the pressurized condensate entering the flash tank 2 through the heat exchange assembly 1, recovers part of the heat of the pressurized condensate, reduces the temperature of the pressurized condensate, and reduces the temperature of the pressurized condensate to the saturation temperature corresponding to the local atmospheric pressure, so that no steam is generated when the flash tank 2 operates.

[0025] Further, the heat exchange assembly 1 includes a first heat exchanger 11 and a regulating valve 12. The first heat exchanger 11 has a first heat release side and a first heat absorption side. The inlet of the first heat release side is supplied with pressurized condensate, and the outlet of the first heat release side forms the outlet of the heat release side pipeline. The first heat release side of the first heat exchanger 11 forms a part of the heat release pipeline. The inlet of the regulating valve 12 is used to supply cooling water, and the outlet of the regulating valve 12 is communicated with the inlet of the first heat absorption side. The first heat absorption side of the first heat exchanger 11 forms a part of the heat absorption pipeline.

[0026] The regulating valve 12 regulates the flow rate of the cooling water entering the first heat absorption side, thereby being able to regulate the heat exchange amount with the pressurized drain water, so as to ensure that after heat exchange in the first heat exchanger 11, the temperature of the pressurized drain water is lower than the saturation temperature, and then ensure that no steam is generated in the flash tank 2 for the pressurized drain water.

[0027] Specifically, the cooling water entering the first heat absorption side is the cooling water in the circulating cooling system, and the cooling water discharged from the first heat absorption side flows back to the circulating cooling system.

[0028] In some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly 1 further includes a second heat exchanger 13. The second heat exchanger 13 has a second heat release side and a second heat absorption side. The inlet of the second heat release side forms the inlet of the heat release side pipeline. The outlet of the second heat release side is communicated with the inlet of the first heat release side. The second heat release side of the second heat exchanger 13 forms a part of the heat release side pipeline. The inlet of the second heat absorption side is for the cooling water to enter, and the second heat absorption side of the second heat exchanger 13 forms a part of the heat absorption pipeline. When the cooling water enters the second heat absorption side and the pressurized drain water enters the second heat release side, heat exchange occurs between the pressurized drain water and the cooling water in the second heat exchanger 13, thereby reducing the temperature of the pressurized drain water.

[0029] The de - white system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention uses two heat exchangers (the first heat exchanger 11 and the second heat exchanger 13) to participate in the heat exchange of the pressurized drain water. On the one hand, when the two heat exchangers work simultaneously, two - stage heat exchange can be carried out on the pressurized drain water, improving the cooling effect of the pressurized drain water, further ensuring that the temperature of the pressurized drain water entering the flash tank 2 is lower than the saturation temperature, and thus further ensuring that no steam is generated in the flash tank 2. On the other hand, the two heat exchangers can work alternately. When the cooling water on the heat absorption side of one of them is affected by other factors and cannot ensure the cooling water inlet, or when the heat absorption side needs maintenance, etc., the other can work normally, carry out heat exchange between the pressurized drain water and the cooling water, ensure the effective reduction of the temperature of the pressurized drain water, and thus ensure that no steam is generated in the flash tank 2.

[0030] The de - white system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a second temperature measuring device 4. The second temperature measuring device 4 is arranged between the outlet of the second heat release side and the inlet of the first heat release side. The second temperature measuring device 4 measures the temperature of the pressurized drain water on the second heat release side after passing through the second heat exchanger 13 (the temperature of the first heat release side entering the first heat exchanger 11). Combining the data obtained by the first temperature measuring device 3 is convenient for observing and comparing the temperatures of the pressurized drain water discharged from the heat release sides of the two heat exchangers, so as to facilitate adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water on the first heat absorption side of the first heat exchanger 11, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect between the pressurized drain water and the cooling water, the cooling effect of the pressurized drain water, ensuring the temperature of the pressurized drain water entering the flash tank 2, and then further ensuring that no steam is generated in the flash tank 2.

[0031] Specifically, after the pressurized drain water passes through the second heat exchanger 13 and the second temperature measuring device 4 measures that the temperature is lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to the local atmospheric pressure, the control valve 12 can be closed to stop the water supply to the first heat absorption side of the first heat exchanger 11. Then, when the pressurized drain water flows through the first heat exchanger 11, it no longer exchanges heat and cools down. When the second temperature measuring device 4 measures that the temperature is higher than the saturation temperature corresponding to the local atmospheric pressure, the control valve 12 is opened and the opening degree of the control valve 12 is adjusted to increase the water inlet flow rate of the first heat absorption side of the first heat exchanger 11, ensuring that the temperature of the pressurized drain water after passing through the first heat exchanger 11 is reduced below the saturation temperature.

[0032] Specifically, both the first temperature measuring device 3 and the second temperature measuring device 4 are temperature sensors.

[0033] Specifically, the cooling water entering the second heat absorption side is the water to be heated in the water use system, that is, process water. For example, the make-up water for the deaerator, the condensate water of the steam turbine condenser. The heated process water discharged from the second heat absorption side enters the corresponding water use system. The second heat exchanger 13 exchanges heat between the pressurized drain water and the process water to be heated, thereby recovering a part of the heat of the pressurized drain water and reducing the energy consumed for heating the process water in the water use system.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the inlet of the second heat absorption side is provided with a water inlet pipe 6. The water inlet pipe 6 is used for supplying cooling water to enter, that is, the water inlet pipe 6 is used to communicate with the water use system to supply the water to be heated (process water) to enter the second heat absorption side. The dewhite system 100 further includes a bypass pipe 7 and a bypass valve 8. The bypass pipe 7 is arranged on the water inlet pipe 6, and the bypass valve 8 is arranged on the bypass pipe. The flow rate of the process water is controlled and adjusted by its water use system. In the case of no process water, that is, when no cooling water enters the water inlet pipe, the pressure of the water inlet pipe and the second heat absorption side is adjusted through the bypass valve.

[0035] In some embodiments, the dewhite system 100 further includes a controller 5. The controller 5 is connected to the first temperature measuring device 3, the second temperature measuring device 4, and the control valve 12. The controller 5 acquires the temperature data of the first temperature measuring device 3 and the temperature data of the second temperature measuring device 4. The controller 5 controls the opening degree of the control valve 12, controls the opening, closing, and flow rate adjustment of the control valve 12, thereby being able to improve the automation degree of the dewhite system 100 of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] Specifically, both the first heat exchanger 11 and the second heat exchanger 13 are water-water heat exchangers. The water-water heat exchanger is small in volume and occupies less space. Compared with the method in the related art of using a steam-water heat exchanger to exchange heat with the steam generated by the flash tank 2, the de-white system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention occupies less space and can ensure that no steam is generated (that is, the flash tank 2 does not discharge steam externally). Compared with the method of spraying water to cool the steam generated by the flash tank in the related art, the de-white system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of water saving and energy saving.

[0037] Refer to the appendix Figure 1 , taking the pressurized condensate with a pressure of 5 MPa, a temperature of 265 °C, and a flow rate of 6 t / h as an example for illustration. This saturated condensate sequentially passes through the second heat release side of the second heat exchanger 13, the second temperature measuring device 4, the first heat release side of the first heat exchanger 11, the first temperature measuring device 3, and finally enters the drain flash tank 2.

[0038] Under normal conditions, the cooling water entering the second heat absorption side of the second heat exchanger 13 is the 40 °C condensate of the steam turbine condenser, with a normal flow rate of 60 t / h. After heat exchange in the second heat exchanger 13, the temperature is 57.5 °C. The temperature of this saturated condensate (pressurized condensate) at the outlet of the second heat release side of the second heat exchanger 13 is 90 °C. Since 90 °C is lower than the saturation temperature, the regulating valve 12 is closed, disconnecting the circulating cooling water from entering the first heat exchanger 11, and the flow rate of the circulating cooling water is zero. Under the condition of no condensate from the steam turbine condenser, the water inflow into the second heat absorption side of the second heat exchanger 13 is 0, and the regulating valve 12 is opened to allow the circulating cooling water to enter the first heat absorption side of the first heat exchanger 11, so that the flow rate of the circulating cooling water is 100 t / h. The temperature of the cooling water entering and leaving the first heat exchanger 11 is 32 °C / 42 °C, and the temperature of this saturated condensate (pressurized condensate) at the outlet of the second heat release side of the second heat exchanger 13 is 90 °C.

[0039] The pressurized condensate below the saturation temperature enters the flash tank 2, expands to generate low-pressure condensate, and no steam is generated. It should be noted that, to ensure the safety of the flash tank 2, the pipeline connecting the flash tank 2 to the air is still retained.

[0040] Thus, the de-white system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention recovers the heat of the pressurized condensate, avoids waste of energy, the flash tank 2 does not generate steam, and has the advantages of less occupied space, water saving and energy saving.
