[0054] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the examples and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these examples.

[0055] Example: A heating steam system, such as Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a power plant low-pressure steam heating pipeline, a power plant medium-pressure steam heating pipeline, a first medium-pressure heating regulating valve group, a second medium-pressure heating regulating valve group, a first low-pressure heating regulating valve group, a second low-pressure heating regulating valve group, a first medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 1, a second medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 2, a petrochemical medium-pressure steam load, and a petrochemical low-pressure steam load. In this embodiment, the petrochemical medium-pressure steam load refers to the petrochemical medium-pressure steam user, and the petrochemical low-pressure steam load refers to the petrochemical low-pressure steam user.

[0056] The power plant's medium-pressure steam heating pipeline is connected to the first medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 1 via the first medium-pressure steam branch pipe, and the first medium-pressure heating regulating valve group is installed on the first medium-pressure steam branch pipe.

[0057] The power plant's medium-pressure steam heating pipeline is connected to the second medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 2 via a second medium-pressure steam branch pipe, and the second medium-pressure heating regulating valve group is installed on the second medium-pressure steam branch pipe.

[0058] The power plant's low-pressure steam heating pipeline is connected to the first medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 1 via the first low-pressure steam branch pipe, and the first low-pressure heating regulating valve group is installed on the first low-pressure steam branch pipe.

[0059] The power plant low-pressure steam heating pipeline is connected with the second medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 2 through a second low-pressure steam branch pipe, and a second low-pressure heating regulating valve group is arranged on the second low-pressure steam branch pipe.

[0060] The first pressure-reducing regulating valve group is connected with the first medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 1 and the petrochemical low-pressure steam load, and the second pressure-reducing regulating valve group is connected with the second medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 2 and the petrochemical low-pressure steam load.

[0061] The first pressure-reducing regulating valve group and the second pressure-reducing regulating valve group are connected in parallel.

[0062] The petrochemical medium-pressure steam load is connected with the first medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 1 through a first petrochemical medium-pressure steam branch, and the petrochemical medium-pressure steam load is connected with the second medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 2 through a second petrochemical medium-pressure steam branch,

[0063] The petrochemical low-pressure steam load is connected with the first medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 1 through a first petrochemical low-pressure steam branch, and the petrochemical low-pressure steam load is connected with the second medium-pressure heating steam pipeline 2 through a second petrochemical low-pressure steam branch.

[0064] In the embodiment, the first medium-pressure heating regulating valve group comprises a first medium-pressure heating regulating valve inlet door 5, a first medium-pressure heating regulating valve 6 and a first medium-pressure heating regulating valve outlet door 7.

[0065] The second medium-pressure heating regulating valve group comprises a second medium-pressure heating regulating valve inlet door 8, a second medium-pressure heating regulating valve 9 and a second medium-pressure heating regulating valve outlet door 10.

[0066] The first low-pressure heating regulating valve group comprises a first low-pressure heating regulating valve inlet door 11, a first low-pressure heating regulating valve 12 and a first low-pressure heating regulating valve outlet door 13.

[0067] The second low-pressure heating regulating valve group comprises a second low-pressure heating regulating valve inlet door 14, a second low-pressure heating regulating valve 15 and a second low-pressure heating regulating valve outlet door 16.

[0068] In the embodiment, the first pressure-reducing regulating valve group comprises a first pressure-reducing valve inlet door 21, a first pressure-reducing valve 22 and a first pressure-reducing valve outlet door 23.

[0069] The second pressure-reducing regulating valve group comprises a second pressure-reducing valve inlet door 24, a second pressure-reducing valve 25 and a second pressure-reducing valve outlet door 26.

[0070] In the embodiment, according to the pressure drop requirement, pressure and temperature parameters of the medium-pressure heating steam (the total amount is the sum of the medium-pressure and low-pressure steam) and the low-pressure steam, the required diameters of the pipelines are calculated respectively, the larger one of the two is taken as the design diameter of the medium-pressure heating pipeline, and the wall thickness of the pipeline is selected according to the pressure and temperature of the medium-pressure heating steam, so that the medium-pressure heating steam pipeline selected in this way can meet the requirements of the medium-pressure heating steam and the low-pressure heating steam.

[0071] In normal operation, the medium pressure heating steam in the medium pressure steam heating pipeline in the power plant can be supplied to the first medium pressure heating steam pipeline 1 through the first medium pressure heating regulating valve inlet door 5, the first medium pressure heating regulating valve 6, the first medium pressure heating regulating valve outlet door 7 on the first medium pressure steam branch pipe, or the second medium pressure heating regulating valve inlet door 8, the second medium pressure heating regulating valve 9, the second medium pressure heating regulating valve outlet door 10 on the second medium pressure steam branch pipe.

[0073] When the second medium pressure heating steam pipeline 2 fails, the power plant only provides medium pressure heating steam through the first medium pressure heating steam pipeline 1 at this time.

[0074] Through this design and operation mode, the power plant can always provide medium pressure heating steam and low pressure heating steam except for the failure condition of the heating pipeline, realizing the cascade utilization of steam energy and improving the thermal energy utilization efficiency of the power plant.

[0075] Further, since the failure of the second medium pressure heating steam pipeline 2 is a small probability event, the medium pressure pipeline heating steam flow can be designed according to the larger steam supply flow among the petrochemical medium pressure steam load and the petrochemical low pressure steam load of the petrochemical enterprise, so as to further reduce the investment cost of the pipeline.

[0076] Compared with the traditional technology ( Figure 1 ), the first low pressure heating steam pipeline 3 and the second low pressure heating steam pipeline 4 are cancelled in the embodiment.

[0077] Compared with the traditional technology, the first medium pressure heating to medium pressure user total door 17 still connects the second medium pressure heating steam pipeline 2, and the second medium pressure heating to medium pressure user total door 18 still connects the first medium pressure heating steam pipeline 1; but the first low pressure heating to low pressure user total door 19 connects the first medium pressure heating steam pipeline 1, and the second low pressure heating to low pressure user total door 20 connects the second medium pressure heating steam pipeline 2.

[0078] It should be pointed out that the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
