Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circulation systems, in particular to an energy-saving steam circulation system. Background Art

[0002] The papermaking industry is a high-energy-consuming industry, with energy costs accounting for about 20% of the total cost. With the rise in energy prices, costs are gradually rising. With the regulation of national environmental protection policies, the use of natural gas and biomass energy to gradually replace coal energy, energy consumption remains high, and research on energy-saving technologies is imminent. The traditional steam drying system for papermaking dryers is a three-stage steam-passing system, that is, the new steam first enters the high-temperature section drying cylinder, and the steam condensate generated from the high-temperature section drying cylinder is flashed twice to generate secondary steam, which is used as the steam inlet for the medium-temperature section and the low-temperature section drying cylinder, and gradually decreases to the front to form a heating gradient. This drying method has a good energy-saving effect when the machine speed is stable and the paper type and quantity are relatively stable. However, with the changes in the market environment and the continued fierce competition, the frequent switching of the machine speed, paper type and quantity of each machine has obvious disadvantages. The drainage pressure difference of the drying cylinder is limited. Especially when producing low-weight paper, the dryer has strong drying capacity and low steam pressure. The medium and low temperature sections are prone to cause the condensed water of the drying cylinder to be unable to be discharged normally, and the dryer load is large, which affects normal operation. After increasing the inlet and outlet pressure difference of the drying cylinder group, the drying cylinder can operate normally, but the steam is discharged along with the condensed water of the drying cylinder, and the consumption increases significantly. In view of this, the utility model proposes an energy-saving steam circulation system. Utility Model Content

[0036] Example

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model proposes an energy-saving steam circulation system, which includes a first steam pipeline 1 and a second steam pipeline 2 , and the steam pressure in the first steam pipeline 1 is greater than the steam pressure in the second steam pipeline 2 .

[0038] Furthermore, the circulation system includes a multi-stage circulation structure, which includes a first drying component 3, a second drying component 4 and a third drying component 5. The first drying component 3, the second drying component 4 and the third drying component 5 are all connected to the first steam pipeline 1 and the second steam pipeline 2 through pipelines. The first drying component 3 includes a first drying cylinder group 31, a first flash tank 32, a first condensate pump 33 and a first heat pump 34. The first drying cylinder group 31 is connected to the second steam pipeline 2 through a pipeline. The first drying cylinder group 31 is used to dry wet paper and remove moisture therein by drying to make the paper firm and stable. The first drying cylinder group 31 and the first condensate pump 33 are both connected to the first flash tank 32 through pipelines. The first flash tank 32 is used to convert the steam introduced therein into condensate and tail steam. The first steam pipeline 1, the first drying cylinder group 31, and the first flash tank 32 are all connected to the first heat pump 34 by pipelines. The first heat pump 34 is used to fully mix the tail steam of the first drying cylinder group 31 with the high-pressure steam in the first steam pipeline 1 through the action of the first heat pump 34 and pressurize it as the inlet steam of the first drying cylinder group 31. The second drying assembly 4 includes a second drying cylinder group 41, a second flash tank 42, a second condensate pump 43, and a second heat pump 44. The second drying cylinder group 41 is connected to the second steam pipeline 2 through a pipeline. The second drying cylinder group 41 is used to dry wet paper, and the moisture therein is removed by drying to make the paper firm and stable. The second drying cylinder group 41 and the second condensate pump 43 are both connected to the second flash tank 42 through pipelines. The second flash tank 42 is used to convert the steam passed into condensate and tail steam. The first steam pipeline 1, the second drying cylinder group 41, and the second flash tank 42 are all connected to the second heat pump 44 by pipelines. The second heat pump 44 is used to mix the continuous tail steam of the second drying cylinder group 41 with the high-pressure steam in the first steam pipeline 1 through the action of the second heat pump 44, and then use it as the inlet steam of the second drying cylinder group 41. The third drying assembly 5 includes a third drying cylinder group 51, a third flash tank 52, a third condensate pump 53, and a third heat pump 54. The third drying cylinder group 51 is connected to the second steam pipeline 2 through a pipeline. The third drying cylinder group 51 is used to dry wet paper, and the moisture therein is removed by drying to make the paper firm and stable. The third drying cylinder group 51 and the third condensate pump 53 are both connected to the third flash tank 52 through pipelines. The third flash tank 52 is used to convert the steam passing therein into condensed water and tail steam. The first steam pipeline 1, the third drying cylinder group 51, the third flash tank 52 are all connected to the third heat pump 54 via pipelines. The third heat pump 54 is used to transfer the continuous tail steam of the third drying cylinder group 51 to the third heat pump 54, and fully mix and pressurize it with the high-pressure steam in the first steam pipeline 1 to be used as the inlet steam of the third drying cylinder group 51.

[0039] Furthermore, the first drying component 3 in the above circulation system also includes a first connecting pipe 35 connected to the pipeline between the first drying cylinder group 31 and the first heat pump 34 and the second steam pipeline 2 and the pipeline between the second drying cylinder group 41. The first connecting pipe 35 is used to return the generated steam and non-condensable steam to the front second drying cylinder group 41 for steam intake through the first connecting pipe 35. The second drying component 4 also includes a second connecting pipe 45 connected to the pipeline between the second drying cylinder group 41 and the second heat pump 44 and the second steam pipeline 2 and the pipeline between the third drying cylinder group 51. The second connecting pipe 45 is used to return the generated steam and non-condensable steam to the front third drying cylinder group 51 for steam intake through the second connecting pipe 45. It also includes a total condensate tank 6 and a total condensate water pump 7. The third drying component 5 is connected to the total condensate tank 6 through a pipeline. The total condensate tank 6 and the total condensate water pump 7 are also connected with a pipeline. The third condensate water pump 53 is connected to the total condensate tank 6 through a pipeline. The tail steam generated by the total condensate tank 6 is recovered through the heat exchanger for heat energy recovery. After the clean water is added, it is used as warm water for wet-end spraying water in the papermaking process. The total condensate pump 7 is used to extract the condensate from the total condensate tank 6 and return the condensate to the thermal power department for reheating to generate fresh steam, saving resources.

[0040] Finally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the above circulation system, the third heat pump 54 and the second heat pump 44 have the same structure as the first heat pump 34. The first heat pump 34 includes a mixing box 341, which facilitates the mixing of tail steam with the high-pressure steam in the first steam pipeline 1. The mixing box 341 is connected with a tail steam access pipe 342 and a steam access pipe 343 which are arranged perpendicular to each other. The tail steam access pipe 342 is connected to the tail steam, and the steam access pipe 343 is connected to the high-pressure steam. The diameter of the end of the steam access pipe 343 close to the mixing box 341 gradually decreases, which is used to speed up the flow rate due to the decrease in diameter when the high-pressure steam is passed, so that the pressure difference sucks the tail steam and mixes with it. The bottom of the mixing box 341 is also equipped with a speed-up section 344, which is a conical setting, which is convenient for the mixed steam to increase its flow rate when passing through, so that the mixed steam reaches the speed of sound when it is discharged. The bottom of the speed-up section 344 is connected to a connecting section 345, and the bottom of the connecting section 345 is connected to a diffuser section 346. The cross-sectional area of ​​the diffuser section 346 decreases from large to small from top to bottom. As the cross-sectional area increases from small to large, the speed decreases from large to small, and the pressure increases from low to high. A discharge pipe 347 is installed at the bottom of the diffuser section 346, and the discharge pipe 347 is convenient for connecting pipelines.

[0041] In this embodiment, the steam in the second steam pipeline 2 enters the first drying cylinder group 31 for use, and at the same time flows into the first flash tank 32 through the pipeline. Condensed water and tail steam are generated in the first flash tank 32. The condensed water is discharged through the first condensed water pump 33, and the tail steam is connected to the side of the first heat pump 34 through the pipeline. At this time, the high-pressure steam in the first steam pipeline 1 is discharged into the first heat pump 34. When passing through the steam access pipe 343, the tail steam of the first flash tank 32 is sucked into the mixing box 341 from the tail steam access pipe 342 due to the pressure difference. The tail steam and the high-pressure steam are mixed in the mixing box 341. At the same time, the flow rate increases when passing through the speed-up section 344, and the pressure decreases when passing through the expansion section 346, so that the mixed steam becomes normal steam for use. Through the multi-stage circulation operation of the second drying component 4 and the third drying component 5, the steam is fully utilized. At the same time, the steam generated at the outlet of the first heat pump 34 is returned to the front second drying cylinder group 41 through the first connecting pipe 35 for steam intake and use, and the steam generated at the outlet of the second heat pump 44 is returned to the front third drying cylinder group 51 through the second connecting pipe 45 for steam intake and use. Finally, the tail steam condensed in the total condensate tank 6 is recovered through the heat exchanger, and after the clean water is added, it is used as warm water for wet spray water in the papermaking process. The condensed water in the total condensate tank 6 is pumped out by the total condensate pump 7, and the condensed water is returned to the thermal power department for reheating to generate fresh steam, saving resources.

[0042] The above specific embodiment is only an optional embodiment of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the present invention and the relevant inspiration of the above embodiment, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiment.
