Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model patent belongs to the technical field of waste heat recovery in cardboard processing, and specifically relates to a steam return water energy-saving device for a cardboard production line. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of paperboard, the steam generated in the boiler needs to be transported to the preheating cylinder in the production line through the steam pipe. The surface paper, lining paper, etc. are pre-dried in the preheating cylinder to evaporate their moisture, thereby adjusting the temperature of the paper web, reducing the moisture content of the paper web and making it uniform, and adjusting the tension of the paper web during operation so that it can be well bonded with the corrugated core paper. The used steam is usually discharged into the return water system for utilization, and after the steam is discharged, part of it will cool down in the pipeline to form high-temperature condensed water, while the other part of the steam remains unchanged, and after being discharged and cooled, it forms high-temperature condensed water and high-temperature steam. Both contain extremely high heat, and direct discharge wastes energy, which is contrary to the current concept of energy conservation and emission reduction, and also increases the operating costs of enterprises.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, the boiler return water system on the paperboard production line disclosed in the Chinese patent (CN202328169U) concentrates the condensed water and part of the residual steam discharged from the steam heater use point through the steam trap into a sealed container, and then transports it into the boiler through a high-pressure pump, and part of the residual steam can be discharged from the exhaust valve; although this method reuses the condensed water, the steam in the high-pressure heart pump can cause cavitation of the pump to reduce its service life, and because part of the high-temperature water vapor in the exhaust pipe will also be discharged into the boiler with the condensed water and part of the residual steam will be discharged from the exhaust valve, so that the temperature of the exhaust end of the steam heater in the system will lose too fast, the steam flow rate at the exhaust end will increase, and the steam utilization rate in the steam heater will be low, and then the boiler heating power needs to be increased, resulting in energy waste; at the same time, as the residual steam recovery device of a paperboard production line disclosed in the Chinese patent (CN205535753U), both of them ignore the loss of water vapor during the operation of the production line, and when it is necessary to add water to the boiler, the water at room temperature will reduce the temperature of the boiling water in the boiler, resulting in the boiler consuming more energy for heating, increasing energy costs.

[0004] In the prior art, as described in the Chinese patent (CN209910018U) on the condensate water heating energy-saving system for a paperboard production line, an inlet pipeline, a heating terminal, a return pipeline and a circulation pump are connected in sequence, a plate heat exchanger is arranged on the return pipeline, the heating terminal, the plate heat exchanger and the circulation pump are connected in sequence to form a closed heating circulation water circuit, the high-temperature condensate discharged from the paperboard production line is connected to another medium fluid channel of the plate heat exchanger, the high-temperature condensate outlet of the plate heat exchanger is connected to the top inlet of the condensate water tank; the bottom outlet of the condensate water tank is connected to the top inlet of the booster water tank through a backflow pump, and the bottom outlet of the booster water tank is connected to the return pipeline through a booster pump; this system is suitable for areas in northern my country where the winter is cold, while some areas in southern my country where the temperature difference between the four seasons is not large, no heating device is required, so discharging high-temperature condensate will only cause a waste of resources.

[0005] Therefore, this paper proposes a steam return water energy-saving device for a cardboard production line. Utility Model Content

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the prior art in this embodiment has the following problems: the inventors found that in the prior art, the steam utilization rate of the paperboard production line is low, and the loss of water vapor during the operation of the production line is ignored. When water needs to be added to the boiler 1, the water at room temperature will reduce the temperature of the boiling water in the boiler 1, resulting in the boiler 1 consuming more energy for heating, which increases the energy cost;

[0022] Therefore, the inventor provides a steam return water energy-saving device for a cardboard production line, comprising a boiler 1, an air intake pipe 2, and a steam heater 3. The boiler 1 is connected to the air intake end of the steam heater 3 through the air intake pipe 2 at the top thereof, and the steam heater 3 is connected to an exhaust water return device which can perform steam-water separation and waste heat utilization. The rear end of the exhaust water return device is connected to the rear side of a water adding pipe 4, a booster pump 5 is installed on the front side of the water adding pipe 4, and the rear end of the water adding pipe 4 is connected to the water adding port of the boiler 1. A one-way valve 16 is also provided on the water adding pipe 4 on the rear side of the booster pump 5.

[0023] The effect and principle are as follows: the device uses an exhaust water return device to separate the high-temperature condensed water and high-temperature steam formed after cooling. The high-temperature condensed water can enter the water adding pipe 4 through the water return pipe 8 to preheat the normal temperature water in the water adding pipe 4 to be added. At the same time, the high-temperature steam can enter the steam waste heat utilization device through the exhaust pipe B10 to be preheated to be added with water. This can reduce the consumption of heating energy of the boiler 1. At the same time, the high-temperature condensed water and high-temperature steam formed after the waste heat utilization can enter the steam-water separation valve 7 from the exhaust pipe A6 again for separation, thereby improving the utilization rate of the waste heat in the remaining steam. The steam and high-temperature condensed water circulating therein can also reduce the air pressure in the boiler 1 and extend the service life of the boiler 1.

[0024] Furthermore, the exhaust and water return device also includes an exhaust pipe A6, a steam-water separation valve 7, a water return pipe 8, and a steam waste heat utilization device. The front end of the exhaust pipe A6 is connected to the exhaust port A9 of the steam heater 3, the steam-water separation valve 7 is connected to the rear end of the exhaust pipe A6, the drain port of the steam-water separation valve 7 is connected to the front end of the water return pipe 8, the rear end of the water return pipe 8 is connected to the water supply pipe 4 on the rear side of the booster pump 5, the air inlet end of the steam waste heat utilization device is connected to the exhaust port B11 of the steam-water separation valve 7 through the exhaust pipe B10, and the steam waste heat utilization device is wrapped around the outside of the water supply pipe 4, and the exhaust port of the steam waste heat utilization device is connected to the exhaust pipe A6 on the front side of the steam-water separation valve 7 through the air return pipe 12; this structure can separate steam and water through the steam-water separation valve 7 and the steam waste heat utilization device and utilize the waste heat. At the same time, it also avoids the increase in boiler 1 power caused by steam loss and reduces energy consumption.

[0025] Furthermore, the steam waste heat utilization device has an insulated heat-conducting pipe and a spiral waste heat utilization channel 13. The insulated heat-conducting pipe is wrapped around the outside of the water-adding pipe 4. The heat-conducting inner wall 14 of the insulated heat-conducting pipe is provided with a spiral waste heat utilization channel 13 through which water vapor can pass. The front and rear ends of the waste heat utilization channel 13 are respectively connected to the return air pipe 12 and the exhaust pipe B10. This structure can utilize the steam separated from the steam-water separation valve 7 for waste heat, and preheat the water to be added at room temperature in the water-adding pipe 4 together with the high-temperature condensed water discharged from the steam-water separation valve 7, thereby reducing the consumption of heating energy of the boiler 1. At the same time, the high-temperature condensed water and high-temperature steam formed after the waste heat utilization can enter the steam-water separation valve 7 from the exhaust pipe A6 for separation again, thereby improving the utilization rate of the waste heat in the remaining steam, and the steam and high-temperature condensed water circulating therein can also relieve the air pressure in the furnace.

[0026] Among them, a heat-insulating outer wall 15 is further arranged outside the heat-conducting inner wall 14 of the heat-insulating heat-conducting pipe; this structure can reduce the heat loss of the residual steam and improve the utilization rate of the residual heat in the residual steam.

[0027] Among them, a one-way valve 16 is installed on the return air pipe 12 and the return water pipe 8; this structure can prevent the steam and water in the exhaust pipe A6 and the water supply pipe 4 from flowing back to the steam-water separation valve 7.

[0028] Furthermore, the outer sides of the boiler 1, the air inlet pipe 2, the exhaust pipe A6, the steam-water separation valve 7, the return pipe 8, the exhaust pipe B10, and the return pipe 12 are all wrapped with thermal insulation materials; this structure can reduce heat consumption and improve steam utilization.
