Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polyamide polymer condensate water conveying, and particularly relates to a condensate water conveying system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of polymer production, a large amount of condensate water is generated after steam is exchanged by heat, and the condensate water is generally reused, collected and conveyed to a boiler water supply system. The condensate water conveying needs to provide a power energy, and a pump such as a centrifugal pump or a mechanical pump is generally used for conveying. The centrifugal pump has high power consumption and is not energy-saving, the condensate water has high gas content, and cavitation and other phenomena are easily generated, so that the maintenance cost of the centrifugal pump is also high. The mechanical pump is more energy-saving than the centrifugal pump. The mechanical pump is composed of a pump body, a floating ball mechanism, a spring pressing mechanism, a power medium inlet valve and an exhaust valve. The pump body is provided with a condensate water inlet and a condensate water outlet. When the condensate water is injected into the pump body, the exhaust valve is in an open state to exhaust the steam generated by the condensate water from the pump body, so as to avoid the problem of excessive back pressure.
[0003] With the injection of the condensate water, the floating ball mechanism gradually rises. When the floating ball mechanism reaches the highest position, the spring pressing device is triggered to open the power medium inlet valve, and at the same time, the exhaust valve is closed, so that the condensate water is pressed out of the pump body by the power medium.
[0004] The mechanical parts of the mechanical pump are abraded more severely under frequent action, and need to be replaced regularly. During the operation of the mechanical pump, there is a relatively strict back pressure requirement. If the back pressure exceeds the limit value, the internal floating ball does not move due to the stagnation of the liquid level in the pump, and the mechanical pump stops running. Therefore, in order to ensure the continuous action of the mechanical pump, the back pressure steam needs to be discharged and released, which causes waste of steam. SUMMARY

The system further comprises a condensed water collecting tank 4 and a titanium dioxide baking tray 12; the top of the condensed water collecting tank 4 is provided with a first exhaust pipe 13, and the first exhaust pipe 13 is further provided with a ninth gate valve 32; the first exhaust pipe 13 is connected with the titanium dioxide baking tray 12; the first exhaust pipe 13 is connected with a branch pipe 14; the branch pipe 14 is provided with a first gate valve 141 and a first trap valve 142; the titanium dioxide baking tray 12 is further connected with a second gate valve 15 and a second trap valve 16 on the side away from the first exhaust pipe 13.
[0021] Specifically, the liquid level meter further comprises a first liquid level sensor 9, which is located at the lower part of the pump shell 1 and electrically connected with the PLC 8.
[0022] Specifically, the top of the condensed water collecting tank 4 is further connected with a second exhaust pipe 17; the second exhaust pipe 17 is connected with a jet pump 18; the jet pump 18 is connected with a high-pressure steam conveying pipe 19 and a mixed steam conveying pipe 20; the mixed steam conveying pipe 20 is connected with a second pipeline 21, which is communicated with the second pneumatic valve 7.
[0023] Specifically, the second pipeline 21 is provided with a pressure reducing valve 22 and a third gate valve 23; the pressure of the mixed steam after pressure reduction is 0.35-0.4 Mpa.
[0024] Specifically, the second pneumatic valve 7 and the pressure reducing valve 22 are further provided with a fourth gate valve 24.
[0025] Specifically, the high-pressure steam conveying pipe 19 is provided with a high-pressure steam flow meter 25; the mixed steam conveying pipe 20 is provided with a mixed steam flow meter 26.
[0026] Specifically, the condensed water collecting tank 4 is connected with a flash tank 27 through a third pipeline; the third pipeline is provided with a fifth gate valve 28 and a third trap valve 29; the flash tank 27 receives medium-pressure steam condensed water; part of the condensed water in the flash tank 27 is rapidly vaporized to generate low-pressure steam, which is conveyed to the condensed water collecting tank 4 through the third pipeline.
[0027] One specific application of the present application is: During the polymeric production of polyamide fiber, steam is used for heat exchange to generate condensed water, which is conveyed to the condensed water collecting tank 4 through the low-pressure condensed water conveying pipe 3.
[0028] Condensate water is transported to the pump shell 1 through the fourth pipeline 2, and when the liquid level of the condensate water in the pump shell 1 rises to a set second liquid level (such as the A2 point in the figure), the second liquid level sensor 10 feeds back to the PLC 8, and the PLC 8 controls the first pneumatic valve 6 to close and the second pneumatic valve 7 to open. Through the instantaneous release of the mixed steam after pressure reduction into the pump shell 1 full of condensate water, the pressure energy of the mixed steam is transmitted to the condensate water, and is converted into the kinetic energy of the condensate water. After the condensate water obtains the kinetic energy, it flows out of the pump shell 1 at high speed, enters the fifth pipeline 5, and is transported to the boiler water replenishing and deoxidizing system through the fifth pipeline 5. When the liquid level in the pump shell 1 drops to a set first liquid level (such as the A1 point in the figure), the PLC 8 controls the second pneumatic valve 7 to close, opens the first pneumatic valve 6, and opens the exhaust passage of the pump shell 1, so that the condensate water is replenished into the pump shell 1 again. This is repeated continuously, so that the condensate water is pumped to the boiler room.
[0029] Considering that the first liquid level sensor 9 is always in the condensate water coverage area and has a high temperature, the working reliability of the first sensor is affected and sometimes does not work, the information transmission is interrupted, and the running reliability of the pump is reduced. Therefore, to solve this problem, the first liquid level sensor 9 can also be cancelled, and a command mode is set for the PLC 8, that is, after the second liquid level sensor 10 is triggered, after a certain number of seconds (such as 16 seconds, and the specific time is the time required for normal exhaust of the condensate water in the pump), the PLC 8 automatically simulates the signal of the first liquid level sensor 9 to control the second pneumatic valve 7 to close and the first pneumatic valve 6 to open. This mode can greatly improve the running reliability of the delivery pump.
[0030] Considering that the second liquid level sensor 10 may also fail or occasionally be insensitive, in actual use, the second liquid level sensor 10 works well, but occasionally fails once or twice. That is, when the liquid level reaches the A2 point, no signal is sent to the PLC 8, which causes the system to stop running. Therefore, the signal transmission of the second liquid level sensor 10 can be further improved. When the first liquid level sensor 9 simulates the signal sending, the pump shell 1 starts to replenish the liquid level, and the PLC 8 is set to receive the signal from the second liquid level sensor 10 after 20 seconds + 5 seconds, that is, 25 seconds. If no signal is received, the PLC 8 automatically simulates the signal receiving to complete the action of closing the first pneumatic valve 6 and opening the second pneumatic valve 7. The 20 seconds is the time for normal replenishment of the liquid level in the pump, and the 5 seconds is the lag time (the specific time can also be set according to the needs).
[0031] After the first pneumatic valve 6 is opened, the steam in the pump shell 1 is discharged to the condensate collecting tank 4 through the first pipeline 11, the low-pressure steam in the condensate collecting tank 4 is partly delivered to the titanium dioxide baking tray through the first exhaust pipe 13, and is partly delivered to the jet pump 18 through the second exhaust pipe 17, and after being mixed with high-pressure steam, mixed steam is formed, and the mixed steam is partly delivered to the workshop through the pipeline to reuse the steam, and the mixed steam is partly connected with the second pneumatic valve 7 through the second pipeline 21 to serve as a power medium.
[0032] By delivering part of the steam originally required to be discharged to the titanium dioxide baking tray 12 to perform steam waste heat baking, the titanium dioxide in the production waste liquid is recycled, and the other part is mixed with high-pressure steam to form mixed steam, so that the utilization rate of steam is improved.
[0033] The liquid level in the pump shell is monitored by the liquid level meter, and the signal is transmitted to the PLC in real time; the PLC automatically controls the opening and closing states of the first pneumatic valve and the second pneumatic valve according to the preset logic, realizes the opening and closing of the exhaust port and the power medium inlet, and avoids the problem that the pump body stops running due to the floating ball jamming and the liquid level stagnation in the prior art, and improves the reliability of operation.
[0034] By delivering the steam in the condensate collecting tank to the titanium dioxide baking tray to perform steam waste heat baking, the titanium dioxide in the production waste liquid is recycled, the low-pressure steam can be reused, and the waste of steam is avoided.
