Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of multi-effect evaporation, and particularly relates to a self-heating multi-effect evaporation device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Material and high-salinity wastewater concentration is a key link widely used or necessary in industrial production, and plays an indispensable role in many industries such as metallurgy, papermaking, electricity, and chemical industry. However, the traditional material and high-salinity wastewater concentration process generally has the problem of high energy consumption. Most of these processes rely on external heat sources such as steam and electricity to realize the evaporation and concentration of water in the material, and the huge energy consumption not only increases the production cost of enterprises, but also makes enterprises face the risk of production limitation when energy supply is tight.
[0003] On the other hand, a large amount of valuable energy is consumed in the industrial production process, and the industrial waste heat generated after a large amount of energy consumption often has the problem of complex heat medium composition and low heat grade, which is difficult to recycle and utilize.
[0004] Taking the desulfurization system of a coal-fired boiler as an example, most of the desulfurization processes used by coal-fired units of power plants or heating companies in China are wet desulfurization. In the wet desulfurization process, the desulfurization slurry is fully contacted with the flue gas by spraying, and at the same time of reaction desulfurization, the heat in the flue gas is also continuously absorbed by the desulfurization slurry, so that the slurry temperature is maintained at 40-60℃. In most coal-fired units, this part of heat is not effectively utilized and is wasted. In addition, due to the continuous reaction of the slurry and the enrichment of chloride ions, a certain amount of desulfurization waste liquid needs to be regularly discharged from the desulfurization system. The desulfurization waste liquid is high-salinity wastewater, which is difficult to treat. The commonly used desulfurization wastewater treatment scheme currently consumes a large amount of electricity or clean steam as the driving energy for wastewater concentration, resulting in a large amount of energy and economic waste.
[0005] Taking the alkali recovery system of a pulp paper mill as another example, the alkali recovery system of a pulp paper mill is realized by concentrating the black liquor and then burning it in an alkali furnace. The alkali furnace uses black liquor with a concentration of more than 80% as fuel, and the combustion produces steam for power generation and process use. At the same time, the flue gas produced by the boiler combustion carries a large amount of waste heat which is wasted by being discharged. At present, black liquor concentration mostly uses multi-effect evaporation process with medium-high pressure steam as heat source to realize black liquor concentration, resulting in a large amount of energy consumption and economic waste.
[0006] The distance between the existing heat source and the heat-using system of multi-effect evaporation is too long, and pipelines need to be laid to complete the introduction of the heat source in the complex plant, which increases the construction difficulty and pipeline cost, and the waste heat utilization rate is low.

The second liquid seal tank 530 is provided with a second gas outlet 534 or is connected to the first liquid seal tank 520 through a common gas pipeline 1300. The first gas outlet 524 is connected to a common gas storage tank 1100 through a pipeline, and the common gas storage tank 1100 is provided with a common gas extraction pump group 1200. The second liquid seal tank 530 is provided with a second gas outlet 534 for gas extraction, and the second gas outlet 534 is connected to the common gas storage tank 1100 through a pipeline. The heat exchange unit 200 in the first effect is connected to a second condensate tank 900 through a pipeline, and the heat exchange unit 200 in the other effects is connected to a first condensate tank 800 through a pipeline. The heat exchange unit 200 in the first effect is connected to the second liquid seal tank 530 or the second condensate tank 900 through a pipeline, and the heat exchange unit 200 in the other effects is connected to the first liquid seal tank 520 or the first condensate tank 800 through a pipeline. The second condensate tank 900 and the second liquid seal tank 530 are provided with a first liquid supplement pipeline 540, and the first liquid seal tank 520 and the first condensate tank 800 are provided with a second liquid supplement pipeline 550. The first liquid seal tank 520 and the first condensate tank 800 are provided with a second liquid supplement pipeline 550. The second liquid seal tank 530 is provided with a second drain pipeline 531 and a second water inlet pipeline 532. The water inlet pipeline 1000 and the second drain pipeline 531 are provided with a second circulation pipeline 533.
[0052] Wherein, the first liquid seal tank 520 and the second liquid seal tank 530 are the same structure, and the size is determined according to the situation, the second water inlet pipeline 532 is used to supplement the medium in the second liquid seal tank 530, and the second circulation pipeline 533 is used to realize the connection between the water-jet pressure reducer 510 and the second liquid seal tank 530, realize internal circulation, and further improve the efficiency.
[0053] This application considers the situation where the medium in the first-effect flash evaporation unit 100 is different from the medium in the flash evaporation units 100 of other effects. In order to utilize the condensate generated by the heat exchange unit 200, a first liquid seal tank 520 and a second liquid seal tank 530 are provided. The condensate generated by the first-effect heat exchange unit 200 is transported to the first liquid seal tank 520 for liquid sealing, and the condensate generated by the heat exchange units 200 of other effects is transported to the second liquid seal tank 530 for liquid sealing.

[0054] Example 4, as Figure 6 As shown, unlike Embodiment 2, where the pressure dividing orifice plate 515 is not fixedly installed in the steam-water mixing chamber 514, the pressure dividing orifice plate 515 is slidably disposed in the steam-water mixing chamber 514 of the water jet separator 510. A telescopic lower tube 517 is slidably fitted on the pressure dividing liquid lower tube 513. The telescopic lower tube 517 is connected to the pressure dividing liquid lower tube 513 through a tension spring 518. The telescopic lower tube 517 is connected to the pressure dividing orifice plate 515 through a connecting rod 519.
[0055] In Embodiment 4 of this application, the dynamic pressure adjustment structure of the water jet pressure divider 510 achieves adaptive control of the fluid dynamics characteristics within the steam-water mixing chamber 514 through the linkage design of the sliding pressure dividing orifice plate 515, the telescopic lower tube 517, and the tension spring 518, significantly improving the overall performance of the multi-effect evaporation system. This structure uses the high-speed jet from the variable-diameter nozzle 516 to impact the pressure dividing orifice plate 515, causing it to slide along the pressure dividing liquid lower tube 513 via the connecting rod 519. Combined with the reverse restoring force of the tension spring 518, dynamic pressure balance is achieved at the equilibrium point of the impact force and the spring force, ensuring that the vacuum pressure at the vacuum port 512 is strictly proportional to the liquid seal depth. This effectively solves the problem of vacuum instability caused by fluctuations in operating conditions in traditional fixed orifice plates. This dynamic balancing mechanism gives the system full-condition adaptability, automatically adjusting the jet path and liquid seal height through changes in the stroke of the telescopic lower tube 517, maintaining efficient operation within the 30%-120% design load range, and overcoming the sensitivity limitations of traditional devices to changes in operating conditions.
[0056] On this basis, the structure improves the vacuum degree of the last-stage flash evaporation unit by 15%-20% by precisely controlling the vacuum gradient of each-stage flash evaporation unit 100, significantly reduces the boiling point of the material and improves the flash evaporation efficiency; at the same time, the dynamic compensation effect of the pressure distribution hole plate 515 reduces the suction load fluctuation of the shared air pump set 1200 by more than 30%, combined with the coordinated control of the regulating valve 1400, the vacuum pump set energy consumption is reduced by 25%-30%, and the system energy efficiency ratio is greatly improved. In terms of equipment maintenance, the flexible sliding structure of the telescopic lower pipe 517 effectively buffers the jet impact, reduces the cavitation occurrence rate by more than 80%, and the reciprocating movement of the sliding hole plate can automatically remove the scaling impurities, prolonging the maintenance cycle by more than 2 times. The design also has the advantages of modular integration, reducing 30% of non-standard parts through standardized components, reducing manufacturing and inventory costs, and the pre-tightening force of the tension spring 518 can be externally adjusted to enhance the engineering adaptability.
[0057] In addition, the rigid connection of the connecting rod 519 ensures the synchronous movement of the hole plate and the lower pipe, avoiding the lagging and jamming problem of flexible connection, and cooperating with the spring overload protection feature, the equipment failure rate is reduced by more than 40%. The structure does not require an additional power source, and only relies on the fluid's own energy to drive the adjustment, further improving the intrinsic safety. In summary, the dynamic pressure distribution adjustment technology of embodiment 4 realizes real-time self-correction of fluid dynamics parameters through mechanical structure innovation, and achieves breakthrough improvement in vacuum stability, energy efficiency, working condition adaptability and equipment reliability, etc., providing key technical support for the efficient and stable operation of multi-effect evaporation system in complex industrial environment.
