Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power plant heating equipment technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus and system for cooling a heating network by draining water. Background Technology
[0002] my country's combined heat and power (CHP) system began in the 1950s. After several stages of development, it has now become an operational mode that simultaneously meets the needs of heating, industrial steam supply, and electricity supply. Due to regional climate reasons, traditional heating areas are mainly concentrated in the northern regions during winter. A heat network (also known as a heating pipe network) is a pipe network system that uses pipes and heat carriers (usually water as the working medium) to transfer heat produced by thermal power plants to heat users. It can be divided into the primary network of the initial station within the thermal power plant, the primary network between the initial station and regional heat exchange stations, and the secondary network between regional heat exchange stations and heat users.
[0003] Due to design differences (such as different equipment manufacturers or different models from the same manufacturer), the condensate from the heat exchange of the primary heating network heater can be discharged in three ways: directly to the condenser, directly to the deaerator, or discharged to the condensate pipeline between the two and recycled to the steam turbine steam-water circulation system. Current regulations require that heating network condensate and other high-temperature working fluids should not be directly introduced into the feedwater system. They should be cooled before being connected to the condenser and treated by fine treatment equipment before entering the feedwater system to avoid deterioration of feedwater quality.
[0004] However, most of the condensate drains in current heating networks are high-temperature, high-flow-rate drains. In traditional technologies, excessively high condensate temperatures can easily cause degradation of the anion and cation resins during the fine treatment process, leading to a decrease in the system's processing capacity. At the same time, direct discharge of high-temperature heating network condensate into the condenser can easily cause the inlet water temperature of the condensate pump to exceed the standard, resulting in cavitation of the condensate pump body.

When transporting heat network condensate, the initial temperature of the heat network condensate can be obtained according to the inlet water temperature detection device. When the initial temperature of the heat network condensate is low, the heat network condensate can be directly discharged into the condenser. When the initial temperature of the heat network condensate is high, the number of multiple condensate coolers can be controlled according to the initial temperature, thereby realizing the stepwise cooling of the heat network condensate in the heat network condensate pipe. After the heat network condensate is cooled stepwise, it is discharged into the condenser, so that it can be safely and stably mixed with the condensate in the condenser, avoiding pump body cavitation of the condensate pump. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem of degradation of anion and cation resins in subsequent condensate polishing, which leads to a decrease in system processing capacity.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0046] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the technical terms used in this application will be briefly introduced below.
[0047] Heat network condensate: Heat network condensate refers to the liquid water formed by the condensation of steam (usually extracted steam from the turbine or other waste heat steam) used to heat the circulating water (or primary hot water) in the heat network heater after releasing heat. A certain water level needs to be maintained in the heat network heater to ensure its normal operation. Excess liquid water is automatically discharged into the turbine's steam-water circulation system via a heat network condensate pump, thereby improving the economic efficiency of the heating unit.
[0048] Condenser: It exchanges heat with steam through cooling water (water-cooled) or air (air-cooled), and the released latent heat of vaporization is carried away by the cooling medium, completing the phase change process. Surface condensers use metal tube bundles (such as copper tubes or titanium tubes) as heat exchange surfaces. Steam condenses outside the tubes, while cooling water flows inside the tubes, forming a highly efficient heat exchange.
[0049] After introducing the technical terms used in this application, the application scenarios and design concepts of the embodiments of this application will be briefly described below.
[0050] Since my country's combined heat and power (CHP) system began in the 1950s, after several stages of development, it has now become an operational mode that simultaneously meets the needs of heating, industrial steam supply, and power generation. Due to regional climate reasons, traditional heating areas are mainly concentrated in the northern regions during winter. A heat network (also known as a heating pipe network) is a pipe network system that uses pipes and heat carriers (usually water as the working medium) to transfer heat produced by thermal power plants to heat users. It can be divided into the primary network of the initial station within the thermal power plant, the primary network between the initial station and regional heat exchange stations, and the secondary network between regional heat exchange stations and heat users. Previously, the condensate from the heaters in the initial station heat network had three discharge paths due to design differences (different equipment manufacturers or different models from the same manufacturer): direct discharge to the condenser, direct discharge to the deaerator, or discharge to the condensate pipeline between the two for recycling into the turbine steam-water circulation system. This has been a subject of debate among researchers both domestically and internationally.
[0051] Recently, the National Energy Administration issued a new version of the "Twenty-Five Key Requirements for Preventing Power Production Accidents (2023 Edition)" which requires in section 6.5.6 (11) that "high-temperature working fluids such as heat network condensate are prohibited from directly entering the feedwater system. They should be cooled before being connected to the condenser and treated by fine treatment equipment before entering the feedwater system to avoid deterioration of feedwater quality." Heat network condensate is mostly high-temperature, high-flow-rate condensate. Direct discharge of traditional high-temperature heat network condensate into the condenser can easily lead to excessive condensate pump inlet water temperature, causing cavitation in the condensate pump body. At the same time, excessively high condensate temperature can also lead to degradation of anion and cation resins and reduced treatment capacity in the fine treatment process. How to safely and stably transfer it to the condenser without interfering with the existing system has become a widely studied topic.
[0052] Against this backdrop, this application innovatively proposes a method for efficient cascade utilization and cooling recovery of heat network heater condensate. The condensate is cooled and then replenished to the condenser. After fine treatment, it participates in the unit's steam-water circulation, effectively solving a problem that has plagued heating companies.
[0053] Example 1 Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 This embodiment provides a method for cooling a heat network by condensation in a control unit applied to a heat network condensation cooling system.
[0054] The heating network condensate cooling system also includes a heating network water supply pipe. The heating network condensate pipe is used to transport heating network condensate. Along the water flow direction, the heating network water supply pipe is equipped with inlet water temperature detection devices and multiple condensate coolers. The outlet end of the heating network water supply pipe is connected to the condenser.
[0055] Methods for cooling heating networks by condensing water include: S100, obtain the initial temperature of the thermal network condensate drain.
[0056] The S200 controls the operation of multiple hydrophobic coolers based on the initial temperature.
[0057] S300 obtains the outlet water temperature in the hydrophobic cooler near the condenser.
[0058] S400 determines whether the outlet water temperature is lower than the first threshold.
[0059] If it is S500, the effluent will be discharged into the condenser.
[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the heat network condensate is discharged into the heat network condensate drain pipe 200 to achieve the transportation of the heat network condensate. An inlet water temperature detection element 400 and multiple condensate coolers are sequentially installed on the heat network condensate drain pipe 200. During the transportation of the heat network condensate, the temperature of the heat network condensate discharged into the heat network condensate drain pipe 200 can be detected by the inlet water temperature detection element 400, thereby obtaining the initial temperature of the heat network condensate.
[0061] When the initial temperature of the heat network condensate is low, the condensate is directly discharged into the condenser 300. When the initial temperature of the heat network condensate is high, the number of multiple condensate coolers is controlled according to the initial temperature, thereby achieving stepped cooling of the heat network condensate in the heat network condensate pipe 200.
[0062] After the condensate from the heating network is cooled down in stages, it is discharged into the condenser 300. It can be safely and stably mixed with the condensate in the condenser 300, avoiding cavitation of the condensate pump body. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem of degradation of the anion and cation resins in the subsequent condensate polishing process, which would lead to a decrease in the system's processing capacity.
[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heat network drain pipe 200 is also equipped with a flow detection device for detecting the inflow rate of water and a pressure detection device for monitoring the water pressure inside the heat network drain pipe 200, so as to achieve auxiliary control and enable the heat network drain cooling system to maintain stable operation.
[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first threshold is specifically 50°C.
[0065] In this embodiment, the hydrophobic cooler specifically includes a first cooler 220, a second cooler 230, and a third cooler 240.
[0066] Furthermore, the first cooler 220, the second cooler 230, and the third cooler 240 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the heat network condensate.
[0067] Step S200, the step of controlling the operation of multiple hydrophobic coolers based on the initial temperature, includes: S210, based on the comparison between the initial temperature and multiple temperature thresholds, determines the target cooler.
[0068] S220 controls the operation of the target cooler to cool the condensate drain of the heating network.
[0069] In this embodiment, there are three hydrophobic coolers, which are respectively configured as a first cooler 220, a second cooler 230 and a third cooler 240.
[0070] The first cooler 220, the second cooler 230, and the third cooler 240 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the heat network condensate, and can accurately determine the target cooler based on the comparison between the initial temperature of the heat network condensate and multiple preset temperature thresholds.
[0071] For example, when the initial temperature is in different temperature ranges, one or more of the first cooler 220, the second cooler 230, or the third cooler 240 can be selectively activated as the target cooler to achieve refined, multi-stage cooling control of the heat network condensate. This avoids the problems of insufficient or excessive cooling that may be caused by a single cooling method, and optimizes energy utilization efficiency.
[0072] Furthermore, this method allows for more uniform temperature changes in the heat network condensate during the gradual cooling process, reducing thermal stress on the equipment and further improving system stability and reliability. Ultimately, the heat network condensate is safely and efficiently cooled to the target temperature, effectively preventing condensate pump cavitation caused by excessive condenser inlet water temperature (300°C) and protecting the anion and cation exchange resins in the fine treatment system from high-temperature degradation, thus maintaining the system's processing capacity.
[0073] In this embodiment, step S210, which determines the target cooler based on the comparison between the initial temperature and multiple temperature thresholds, includes: S211, if T > T1, determine the target coolers as the first cooler, the second cooler, and the third cooler.
[0074] S222, if T1>T>T2, determine the target coolers as the second and third coolers.
[0075] S223, if T < T2, determine the target cooler as the third cooler.
[0076] It should be noted that T is the initial temperature of the hydrophobic zone of the heating network (i.e., the detection result of the inlet water temperature detection device), T1 is the second threshold, T2 is the third threshold, and T1 > T2.
[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the inlet water temperature is greater than the first threshold, the inlet water temperature detection device 400 detects three operating conditions: high temperature, medium temperature, and low temperature.
[0078] In the case of high-temperature operation (T > T1), the first cooler 220, the second cooler 230, and the third cooler 240 are activated simultaneously in this embodiment to form a three-stage series cooling system. By distributing the heat load step by step, excessive pressure on a single cooler is avoided, ensuring that the high-temperature condensate is sufficiently cooled to a safe range and eliminating the risk of the condenser 300 inlet water temperature exceeding the standard.
[0079] Under medium-temperature conditions (T1 > T > T2), the first cooler 220 is shut down, and the second cooler 230 and the third cooler 240 are started. While ensuring the cooling effect, the ineffective operation of the first cooler 220 is reduced, thereby reducing system energy consumption and equipment wear, while maintaining the reliability of temperature control.
[0080] Low temperature conditions (T < T2): Only the third cooler 240 (last stage) is operated. This avoids energy waste caused by overcooling, while ensuring that the condensate temperature meets the condenser 300 safe inlet water requirements and protecting the condensate pump from cavitation.
[0081] In this embodiment, the first cooler 220, the second cooler 230 and the third cooler 240 form a stepped cooling structure, which can disperse thermal shock during the cooling process, thereby extending the service life of each cooler and reducing system maintenance costs.
[0082] It should be noted that in this embodiment, T1 (i.e., the second threshold) is specifically 100°C, and T2 (i.e., the third threshold) is specifically 75°C.
[0083] In this embodiment, a return bypass 241 is provided at the outlet end of the third cooler 240. The outlet end of the return bypass 241 is connected to the inlet end of the third cooler 240.
[0084] In this embodiment, after step S220, which involves controlling the target cooler to cool the thermal network condensate, the method further includes: S221, if the outlet water temperature of the third cooler is lower than the minimum value in the preset range, the return bypass is opened, and at the same time, the third cooler is adjusted to increase the flow rate of the heat network drain.
[0085] In this embodiment, the preset range is 45°C to 55°C. That is, when the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 is greater than or equal to 45°C to less than or equal to 55°C, the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 reaches the preset range and can be discharged into the condenser 300.
[0086] In this embodiment, when the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 is lower than the minimum value in the preset range, that is, when the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 is less than 45°C, it can be considered that the outlet water temperature is too low. At this time, the return bypass 241 is opened so that the outlet water with the low temperature flows back to the inlet end of the third cooler 240 and mixes with the inlet water that has not flowed into the third cooler 240, thereby achieving pre-cooling of the high temperature water to be flowed into the third cooler 240, which can effectively reduce the load on the third cooler 240.
[0087] Furthermore, when the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 is too low, the flow rate of water entering the third cooler 240 is increased, thereby increasing the cooling water volume of the third cooler 240. Under the same power, the greater the water flow rate of the third cooler 240, the higher the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240. This adjustment method can ensure that the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 is within the preset range while also increasing the cooling water volume of the third cooler 240, thus improving the efficiency of heat network drainage.
[0088] In this embodiment, after step S220, which controls the target cooler to cool the thermal network condensate, the following is also included: S222, If the outlet water temperature of the third cooler is higher than the maximum value in the preset range, adjust the third cooler to reduce the flow rate of the heat network drain.
[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 is higher than the maximum value in the preset range, that is, when the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 is greater than 55°C, the flow rate of the water flowing into the third cooler 240 is adjusted to reduce. Similarly, under the same power, the smaller the water flow rate of the third cooler 240, the lower the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240, thereby ensuring that the outlet water temperature of the third cooler 240 is within the preset range.
[0090] In this embodiment, the heat network drainage cooling system also includes a first bypass 221. The two ends of the first bypass 221 are respectively connected to the water inlet and water outlet of the first cooler 220.
[0091] Where T1 > T > T2, step S222, determining the target cooler as the second and third coolers, further includes: S2220, if T1>T>T2, the first bypass is activated.
[0092] Specifically, when the heat network condensate is under medium-temperature conditions (T1 > T > T2), by connecting the first bypass 221, the condensate can completely bypass the first cooler 220, avoiding ineffective heat exchange in the first cooler 220. This prevents the heat network condensate from flowing through the first cooler 220 under medium-temperature conditions, thus avoiding energy waste and equipment idle-load losses.
[0093] Furthermore, after the first bypass 221 is turned on, the heat network condensate directly enters the inlet of the second cooler 230 through the first bypass 221, shortening the flow path, thereby reducing the pressure loss of the pipeline system and improving the transport efficiency of the heat network condensate under medium temperature conditions, and reducing the additional power consumption of the condensate pump.
[0094] In this embodiment, the heat network drainage cooling system also includes a second bypass 231. The two ends of the second bypass 231 are respectively connected to the water inlet and water outlet of the second cooler 230.
[0095] Where T < T2, step S222, determining the target cooler as the third cooler, further includes: If T < T2, the first bypass and the second bypass are activated.
[0096] Similarly, when the heat network condensate is in a low-temperature condition (T < T2), by connecting the first and second bypasses, the condensate completely bypasses the first and second coolers and flows only through the third cooler (the final stage). This avoids the ineffective operation of the first two coolers, achieving "zero energy waste" and thus reducing system energy consumption.
[0097] Example 2 The heat network condensate cooling device provided in this embodiment is applied to the control unit of the heat network condensate cooling system provided in the above embodiment 1. The heat network condensate cooling device specifically includes: a first acquisition module, a first control module, a second acquisition module, a judgment module, and a second control module.
[0098] The first acquisition module is used to acquire the initial temperature of the hydrophobic zone of the heating network.
[0099] The first control module is used to control the operation of multiple hydrophobic coolers based on the initial temperature.
[0100] The second acquisition module is used to acquire the outlet water temperature in the hydrophobic cooler near the condenser 300.
[0101] The judgment module is used to determine whether the outlet water temperature is less than the first threshold.
[0102] The second control module is used to discharge the effluent into the condenser 300 when the effluent temperature is less than the first threshold.
[0103] Example 3 The thermal network condensate cooling system provided in this embodiment includes a control unit, which is used to execute the method provided in the above embodiment.
[0104] In addition, in this embodiment, the heat network drainage cooling system also includes a heat network drainage pump 100, a heat network drainage pipe 200, an inlet water temperature detection device 400, and a drainage cooler.
[0105] The heating network condensate pump 100 is used to pump out heating network condensate. One end of the heating network condensate pipe 200 is connected to the heating network condensate pump 100 and used to transport the heating network condensate; the other end is connected to the condenser 300. An inlet water temperature sensor 400 is located at the outlet end of the heating network condensate pump 100. Multiple condensate coolers are arranged sequentially along the direction of heating network condensate transport on the heating network condensate pipe 200.
[0106] Specifically, the control unit in this embodiment is compatible with any combination of method logic in the embodiment, and can be adapted to the condensate temperature range, cooler stage and bypass configuration of different power plants.
[0107] Furthermore, it should be noted that the heat network condensate pump 100 in this embodiment can be a pump body integrated into the condensate system of the heat network heater, providing stable initial power for the heat network condensate cooling system. An inlet water temperature sensor 400 is installed after the pump to directly measure the real-time temperature of the condensate after pumping. Multiple condensate coolers are sequentially arranged along the direction of heat network condensate transport, thereby forming multiple cooling cycles for the condensate. When cooling heat network condensate at different temperatures, different numbers of water coolers can be activated to effectively cool the condensate, ensuring that the temperature of the condensate flowing into the condenser 300 is within a preset range (i.e., the applicable range of the condenser 300).
