Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of seawater desalination technology, specifically to a seawater desalination evaporator based on segmented heat exchange tubes. Background Technology

[0002] A seawater desalination plant is a device that uses steam to evaporate seawater to obtain fresh water. Its main structure is the evaporator, which mainly contains a seawater spraying system, heat exchange tubes, and a freshwater collection system. The function of the seawater spraying system is to evenly spray seawater onto the heat exchange tube bundle. The seawater flows onto the heat exchange tubes of the bundle, forming a water film, which exchanges heat with the steam inside the tubes and evaporates. The steam inside the tubes condenses into water after heat exchange, collects in the water chamber, and is then transported to the freshwater pump through pipelines.

[0003] The heat exchange tubes of a seawater desalination unit are subject to the effects of seawater erosion, temperature changes, and localized corrosion. Over time, damage and leaks may occur in the heat exchange tubes. Since the external environment is seawater, once damaged, seawater will enter the tube through the leak point. The inside of the heat exchange tube is the channel for steam desalination water. The mixing of seawater with the desalination water will contaminate the desalination water, resulting in substandard water quality. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly locate the leak points of the heat exchange tubes and replace the leaking heat exchange tubes.

[0004] However, large-scale seawater desalination plants have multiple evaporators, each with tens of thousands of heat exchange tubes. It is difficult to quickly and accurately locate leaking heat exchange tubes. At the same time, the existing heat exchange tube bundles are long and difficult to disassemble and replace in the confined space inside the evaporator, which seriously affects the maintenance efficiency of the evaporator heat exchange tube bundles.

[0025] The first connecting part has a through hole, and the locking member is disposed in the through hole. The locking member includes a locking bolt and a locking nut. The locking bolt passes through the through hole, and the nut is screwed onto the locking bolt. When two adjacent first flange bodies and second flange bodies are connected to each other, the first connecting flange and the second connecting flange are engaged between the first connecting part and the third connecting part.

[0030] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. This application sets the heat exchange tube as a modular structure, which is connected by multiple sets of heat exchange components, making it easy to disassemble and replace the heat exchange components; by observing the readings of the flow meters between multiple heat exchange components, when the readings of multiple flow meters are inconsistent, it can be determined that the heat exchange component has leaked, and the location of the leak can be determined based on the flow meter with abnormal reading, thus improving maintenance efficiency.

[0032] 2. The connector provided in this application, by engaging the first connecting flange and the second connecting flange in the U-shaped clamp, and using the locking bolt and locking handle to press the first connecting flange and the second connecting flange together, facilitates the quick disassembly and connection of two adjacent heat exchange components, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the heat exchange components.

[0033] 3. The connector provided in this application is embedded in the first connecting flange or the second connecting flange by means of a magnetic seat. By rotating the switch, the magnetic poles of the magnet inside the magnetic seat can be easily adjusted, so that the magnetic seat can be quickly magnetized and demagnetized, thereby attracting the adjacent first connecting flange or the second connecting flange, which facilitates the quick disassembly and connection of the two adjacent heat exchange components, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the heat exchange components.

[0034] 4. The adaptive plugging assembly provided in this application, by setting a self-plugging ring pipe and plugging components on the inner wall of the connecting section, allows external seawater to enter the heat exchange tube from the damaged opening when the heat exchange tube wall between the two sets of adaptive plugging assemblies is damaged. Under the action of pressure difference, the plugging balls in the two sets of adaptive plugging assemblies are forced to move towards the self-plugging ring pipe. At this time, the flexible line is stretched until the plugging ball seals the conical inner hole of the self-plugging ring pipe, thereby preventing external seawater vapor from entering the next section of the heat exchange tube from the damaged opening and flowing into the desalination water collection tank, thus avoiding pollution of the desalination water. At the same time, it also ensures that the whole device can operate without stopping when a small amount of heat exchange tube leakage occurs.

[0035] 5. The heat exchange tube of this application is connected to the first connecting flange by a rotary plug-in method and to the second connecting flange by a quick-connect fitting. When replacing a damaged heat exchange tube, simply disconnect the quick-connect fitting from the heat exchange tube, thereby disconnecting the second connecting flange from the heat exchange tube. Then, rotate and pull the damaged or blocked heat exchange tube, causing the guide limiting groove and the limiting post on the heat exchange tube to move relative to each other until the limiting post disengages from the guide limiting groove. This allows the damaged or blocked heat exchange tube to be disassembled. Then, a new heat exchange tube is rotated and inserted into the first connecting hole to replace the heat exchange tube. This avoids the complete scrapping of the heat exchange assembly and helps reduce the operating cost of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0055] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-15 This application will be described in further detail.

[0056] This application discloses a seawater desalination evaporator based on segmented heat exchange tubes.

During seawater desalination, high-pressure steam enters the heat exchange unit 2. When the seawater is sprayed onto the surface of the heat exchange unit 2, heat is transferred from the high-pressure steam in the heat exchange unit 2 to the seawater. The seawater evaporates to form steam and enters the next evaporator through the mist eliminator 11. The high-pressure steam in the heat exchange unit 2 condenses into desalinated water and enters the desalinated water collection tank 12. It is then discharged to the desalinated water collection device through the desalinated water discharge pipe 16.

When the heat exchange component 21 is inspected or replaced, the damaged heat exchange component 21 can be lifted by the lifting robotic arm 42 and moved through the maintenance channel to the area below the inspection port 13. At the same time, the cover plate 14 is opened, and the damaged heat exchange component 21 is taken out from the inspection port 13 by the hoisting mechanism.

The sealing element 2142 includes a sealing ball 21421 and multiple flexible wires 21422. One end of each flexible wire 21422 is connected to the sealing ball 21421, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the connecting section 2123. The sealing ball 21421 is suspended in the inner cavity of the connecting section 2123 by the flexible wires 21422, and the sealing ball 21421 can abut against the inner wall of the self-closing ring pipe 2141. In particular, the flexible wires 21422 are made of modified rubber materials, such as high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, fluororubber, SEBS elastomer, etc., to ensure that the flexible wires 21422 have excellent elasticity and high temperature resistance and aging resistance in the high temperature and high humidity environment inside the heat exchange tube 212.

[0066] Specifically, when the wall of the heat exchange tube 212 between the two sets of adaptive sealing components 214 is damaged, external seawater enters the heat exchange tube 212 through the damaged opening. Under the action of pressure difference, the sealing ball 21421 in the two sets of adaptive sealing components 214 is forced to move towards the self-closing ring tube 2141. At this time, the flexible line 21422 is stretched until the sealing ball 21421 seals the conical inner hole of the self-closing ring tube 2141, thereby preventing external seawater vapor from entering the next section of the heat exchange tube 212 through the damaged opening and flowing into the desalination water collection tank 12, thus avoiding pollution of the desalination water. At the same time, it also ensures that the whole device can operate without stopping when a small number of heat exchange tubes leak.

[0067] When multiple heat exchange components 21 are connected sequentially, the first connecting cavity 2113 and the second connecting cavity 2133 are connected. The first connecting flange 211 and the second connecting flange 213 are set as square flanges, and the number of the first connecting holes 2114 and the second connecting holes 2134 are equal and their positions correspond.

[0068] Specifically, it also includes a detection component, which includes multiple sets of online conductivity meters, a control module, and multiple sets of flow meters. The multiple sets of flow meters and multiple sets of online conductivity meters are respectively set between two adjacent first connecting flanges 211 and second connecting flanges 213. The control module is connected to the multiple sets of online conductivity meters and multiple sets of flow meters, and the control module is used to display the online conductivity and flow meter readings in real time. During seawater desalination, the flow rate of desalinated water in the heat exchange components is monitored in real time based on the flow meter readings displayed by the control module. If a significant difference in flow rate is detected between the flow meter reading at a certain location and the flow rate of the preceding flow meter, specifically a sudden drop in flow rate, it can be determined that a large number of heat exchange tubes 212 on the heat exchange component 21 at that location are blocked or damaged. This prevents the desalinated water in the preceding heat exchange component 21 from flowing normally backward. Based on the flow meter readings, the leaking heat exchange component 21 can be accurately located, and the heat exchange tubes 212 can be replaced. Simultaneously, an online conductivity monitor continuously monitors the flow rate between adjacent heat exchange components. The conductivity of the flowing desalinated water is displayed on the control module. When the conductivity reading exceeds the threshold, it indicates a leak in the heat exchange tube. Seawater may be entering the heat exchange tube, but the inflow may be insufficient, and the pressure difference within the heat exchange tube 212 may not be enough for the sealing ball 21421 to seal the self-closing ring 2141. Alternatively, the rupture may be located at the end of the heat exchange tube 212, causing the adaptive sealing component 214 to fail. This results in the conductivity of the water flowing within both heat exchange components 21 exceeding the standard. In this case, the control module can stop the evaporator and locate, repair, and replace the damaged heat exchange tube 212 at the heat exchange component 21 with the excessive conductivity. Simultaneously, the control module has an alarm function. When the flow rate or conductivity exceeds the threshold, it generates an audible and visual alarm signal and displays the location of the abnormal heat exchange component, allowing operators to perceive the evaporator malfunction and take timely action.

[0069] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The connector 5 includes a U-shaped clamp 51, a locking member 52, and a locking handle 53. The U-shaped clamp 51 includes a first connecting part 511, a second connecting part 512, and a third connecting part 513. The two ends of the second connecting part 512 are fixedly connected to the ends of the first connecting part 511 and the third connecting part 513, respectively. The axes of the first connecting part 511 and the third connecting part 513 are perpendicular to the axis of the second connecting part 512, and the first connecting part 511 and the third connecting part 513 are perpendicular to the axis of the second connecting part 512. The connecting parts 512 are symmetrically arranged; a through hole is provided on the first connecting part 511, and a locking member 52 is disposed in the through hole. The locking member 52 includes a locking bolt 521 and a locking nut 522. The locking bolt 521 passes through the through hole, and the nut is screwed onto the locking bolt 521 and the locking nut 522. When two adjacent first flange bodies and second flange bodies are connected to each other, the first connecting flange and the second connecting flange are engaged between the first connecting part 511 and the third connecting part 513, and the locking bolt... 521 is pressed against the first connecting flange or the second connecting flange, and the locking bolt 521 is tightly abutted against the side wall of the first connecting part 511 away from the third connecting part 513; the third connecting part 513 is provided with a mounting groove 514, which is located at the end of the third connecting part 513 away from the second connecting part 512. The mounting groove 514 is an open groove, and the locking handle 53 is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove 514. The locking handle 53 includes an integrally formed abutment part 531 and a handle 532. The clamping part 531 is perpendicular to the handle 532. The clamping part 531 is rotatably connected to the two inner walls opposite to the mounting groove 514. The end of the clamping part 531 away from the handle 532 has an arc-shaped profile. When two adjacent first flange bodies 2111 and second flange bodies 2131 are connected to each other, the end of the clamping part 531 away from the handle 532 is in close contact with the second connecting flange 2132 or the first connecting flange 2112. The axis of the handle 532 coincides with the axis of the third connecting part 513. To ensure the sealing between two adjacent first flange bodies 2111 and second flange bodies 2131, an elastic gasket can be provided between the first flange body 2111 and the second flange body 2131 to ensure the normal flow of desalinated water in the two adjacent heat exchange components 21.

[0070] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 It also includes a bracket 15, which is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the evaporator housing 1, and the first connecting flange 211 and the second connecting flange 213 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 15.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the connector 5 can also be configured as a magnetic seat 54. In Embodiment 2, the magnetic seat 54 is embedded in the first connecting flange, and multiple magnetic seats 54 are evenly distributed along the end face of the first connecting flange. A magnet is provided inside the magnetic seat 54, and both ends of the magnetic seat 54 are flush with both ends of the first connecting flange. A rotary switch 541 is provided on the magnetic seat 54, and the rotary switch 541 is fixedly connected to the magnet. The first flange body and the second flange body are made of ferromagnetic material, and the magnetic seat 54 is made of soft iron material.

[0073] Specifically, by rotating switch 541, the magnetic poles of the magnet inside the magnetic base 54 are adjusted, allowing the magnetic base 54 to be quickly magnetized and demagnetized. This, in turn, attracts the adjacent second connecting flange 2132, facilitating the quick disassembly and connection of adjacent heat exchange components 21, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the heat exchange components 21. In this embodiment, the magnetic base 54 can also be embedded in the second connecting flange 2132, and the magnetic connecting base attracts the first connecting flange 2112 to achieve the connection of adjacent heat exchange components 21.

[0074] The working principle of the seawater desalination evaporator based on segmented heat exchange tubes in this application is as follows: The online conductivity monitor monitors the conductivity of the desalinated water flowing between two adjacent heat exchange components 21 in real time. When a leak occurs in the heat exchange tube 212 inside the evaporator, if the rupture is small, seawater enters the heat exchange tube, but the seawater inflow is small, and the pressure difference inside the heat exchange tube 212 is insufficient for the sealing ball 21421 to seal the self-closing ring tube 2141. Or, if the rupture is located at the end of the heat exchange tube 212, the adaptive sealing component 214 fails. Through the conductivity reading displayed by the control module, after the seawater enters the heat exchange tube, the conductivity reading exceeds the threshold, which can be used to determine that the heat exchange tube has leaked. At this time, the control module can control the evaporator to stop running, locate the damaged heat exchange tube 212 at the heat exchange component 21 with excessive conductivity, repair and plug the leak in the damaged heat exchange tube 212, and replace the heat exchange tube 212 with serious leakage.

[0075] When the rupture is located at the end of the heat exchange tube, the adaptive sealing component 214 fails, allowing seawater to enter the heat exchange tube. The conductivity of the water flow in the two heat exchange components 21 exceeds the standard. At this time, the control module can control the evaporator to stop operating and locate, repair and replace the damaged heat exchange tube 212 at the heat exchange component 21 with excessive conductivity.

[0076] When the rupture is large, external seawater enters the heat exchange tube 212 through the rupture. Under the action of pressure difference, the sealing balls 21421 in the two sets of adaptive sealing components 214 are forced to move towards the self-closing ring tube 2141. At this time, the flexible line 21422 is stretched until the sealing balls 21421 seal the conical inner hole of the self-closing ring tube 2141, thereby preventing external seawater vapor from entering the next section of the heat exchange tube 212 through the rupture and flowing into the desalination water collection tank 12, thus avoiding pollution of the desalination water. At the same time, it also ensures that the whole device can operate without stopping when a small number of heat exchange tubes 212 leak.

[0077] When there are many damaged heat exchange tubes 212, the seawater desalination efficiency of the evaporator decreases. At this time, the number of blocked heat exchange tubes 212 increases, causing the flow meter reading at the heat exchange component 21 where the damaged heat exchange tube 212 is located to drop sharply. Based on the flow meter position where the reading changes, the specific location of the leaking heat exchange component 21 is determined. Then, the evaporator is stopped from running, and the operator enters the inner cavity of the evaporator shell 1 through the inspection port 13 to replace the heat exchange component 21 at the leak point.

[0078] When replacing the heat exchange component, first adjust the lifting robotic arm 42. The lifting robotic arm 42 slides along the slide rail 41 to a position close to the heat exchange component 21 to be replaced. Adjust the height and direction of the fork 422 on the column 421 so that the fork 422 is positioned below the heat exchange component 21 to support it. Then, the operator adjusts the connector 5 at the connection of the heat exchange component 21 to be replaced, so that the heat exchange component 21 to be replaced is detached from the heat exchange unit 2. Adjust the lifting robotic arm 42, and the lifting robotic arm 42 transfers the heat exchange component 21 to be replaced through the maintenance channel to a position below the maintenance port 13. The operator uses a hoisting device to lift the heat exchange component 21 to be replaced out of the maintenance port 13. Then, the new heat exchange component 21 is hoisted through the maintenance port 13 into the inner cavity of the evaporator shell 1 and moved to the installation position by the lifting robotic arm 42. The operator then installs it.

[0079] After the heat exchange component 21 to be replaced is hoisted, a sealing and drainage test is conducted to identify the damaged heat exchange tube 212 that is leaking. Then, the operator first disconnects the quick-connect fitting 2135 from the heat exchange tube 212, causing the second connecting flange 213 to disconnect from the heat exchange tube 212. Then, the damaged heat exchange tube 212 is rotated and pulled, causing the guide limiting groove 2124 and the limiting post 21143 on the damaged heat exchange tube 212 to move relative to each other until the limiting post 21143 disengages from the guide limiting groove 2124. Next, the new heat exchange tube 212 is taken out, with the insertion section 2121 of the new heat exchange tube 212 facing the first limiting hole. The opening of the guide portion 21242 of the guide limiting groove 2124 is aligned with the limiting post 21143. The insertion section 2121 is inserted into the first limiting section 21141, so that the limiting post 21143 is engaged in the guide portion 21242. The heat exchange tube 212 is slowly rotated, so that the limiting post 21143 moves relative to the guide portion 21242 into the limiting portion 21241 until it reaches the end of the limiting portion 21241. At this time, the sealing section 2122 is inserted into the second limiting section 21142, and the sealing section 2122 seals the second limiting section 21142 to prevent leakage between the heat exchange tube 212 and the first connecting hole 2114. Simultaneously, the limiting part 21241 limits the limiting post 21143 to prevent the heat exchange tube 212 from axially moving and thus disengaging from the first connecting flange 211. After the heat exchange tube 212 is replaced, the quick-connect fitting 2135 of the second connecting flange 213 is aligned with the connecting section 2123 of the heat exchange tube 212, and the connecting section 2123 is inserted into the quick-connect fitting 2135 to complete the replacement of the damaged heat exchange tube 212. The reassembled heat exchange assembly 21 is ready for subsequent replacement.
