DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Reference Figure 1 A boiler wet operation recirculation system, which comprises an economizer 2, a steam-water separator 1 and a high-pressure heater 3, wherein the drain of the steam-water separator is connected to a water storage tank 15, the outlet of the water storage tank is connected to a circulation pipeline 21, and the circulation pipeline is connected to the inlet of the economizer after passing through a circulation pump 10;

[0020] A minimum flow return pipeline 25 is connected between the outlet of the circulation pump and the outlet of the water storage tank. Part of the water pumped out of the outlet of the circulation pump is led to the outlet of the water storage tank after passing through the flow orifice plate and the second flow regulating valve, thereby improving the regulating characteristics of the circulation pump and maintaining the minimum safe flow of the circulation pump.

[0021] A circulating pump heating pipeline 16 is connected between the economizer outlet and the circulating pump outlet to prevent the recirculating pump from being subjected to thermal shock;

[0022] A circulating pump subcooling pipeline 17 is connected between the outlet of the high-pressure heater and the outlet of the water storage tank. When the load is rapidly reduced, the water at the outlet of the high-pressure heater is led to the outlet of the water storage tank through the circulating pump subcooling pipeline to prevent the circulating water at the inlet of the recirculating pump from flashing and causing cavitation of the circulating pump when the load is rapidly reduced.

[0023] The circulation pipeline is connected in parallel with the cooling water pipeline, and the cooling water pipeline is used to prevent high-temperature boiler water from entering the motor of the recirculation pump. The cooling water pipeline includes a heat exchanger 6, and the hot water inlet of the heat exchanger is connected to the circulation pipeline through an inlet pipe 26, and the hot water outlet of the heat exchanger is connected to the circulation pipeline through an outlet pipe 22.

[0024] In the boiler wet operation recirculation system, a flow orifice plate 24 and a second flow regulating valve 23 are installed on the minimum flow return pipeline.

[0025] In the boiler wet operation recirculation system, a first regulating valve 19 and a second stop valve 20 are installed on the circulation pump heating pipeline.

[0026] In the boiler wet operation recirculation system, a second regulating valve 27 and a third stop valve 28 are installed on the subcooling pipeline of the circulation pump.

[0027] Working principle: Water enters from the economizer inlet header, passes through the economizer, furnace to the steam-water separator, and after steam-water separation, the separated water enters the water storage tank and is sent to the economizer again by the circulating pump;

[0028] When the water level in the water tank is too high, the water in the water tank is led out to the atmospheric expansion tank through the water level control valve of the water tank;

[0029] A cooling water pipeline is provided, and a thermometer 12 is installed on the circulating water pipeline to monitor its temperature. When the temperature is too high, the second shut-off valve 5 on the inlet pipe and the third shut-off valve 9 on the outlet pipe are opened, and the first shut-off valve 4 on the circulating pipeline is closed. At this time, the circulating water is heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger to lower the water temperature, and then circulated by the circulating pump to prevent the high-temperature boiler water from entering the circulating pump motor and causing damage. The heat exchanger is a plate heat exchanger with a cooling water inlet pipe 8 and a cooling water outlet pipe 7. The cooling water is supplied by external water.

[0030] The recirculation system is designed to maintain the working medium flow rate in the boiler water-cooled wall tube at 30% BMCR (or above) during the startup process and when the boiler is running in a recirculation mode at low load. At this time, the working medium flow is: water enters from the economizer inlet header, passes through the economizer, furnace to the steam-water separator, and after steam-water separation, the separated water enters the water storage tank and is sent to the economizer again by the circulating pump. The separated steam enters the ceiling wall system, and then flows through the first-stage superheater, the second-stage partition screen superheater and the final-stage superheater in turn, and finally is led out by the main steam pipeline. When the unit load reaches the minimum DC load (30% BMCR load), the recirculation system exits operation and enters the hot standby state. At this time, the amount of feed water entering the boiler is equal to the amount of steam entering the steam turbine.

[0031] When the boiler is started, water is first added to the boiler and the corresponding exhaust (steam) is performed. The recirculation pump is started and the recirculation pipeline is put into operation. At this time, the feed water flowing through the boiler water wall is composed of two parts: feed water + recirculation flow. After starting the circulation pump, the heat of this recirculation volume is recovered.

[0032] It is beneficial to the safe operation of the superheater. The working fluid returned from the water storage tank to the economizer inlet directly heats the working fluid at the economizer inlet, which is beneficial to increase the inlet feed water temperature of the economizer, and also increases the inlet feed water temperature of the water-cooled wall. Under the same amount of fuel, the steam production at the furnace outlet increases, and the problem of superheater overheating can be effectively alleviated.

[0033] It is conducive to the safe operation of the boiler at low load. Under ultra-low load, the start-up circulation pump is used for wet operation, and the working medium flow in the water-cooled wall tube is maintained at a level higher than the minimum flow.
