Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model generally relates to the field of polyester production, and in particular to a waste heat utilization device for a sewage discharge pipeline of an ethylene glycol evaporator. Background Art
[0002] At present, in polyester production, the second pre-polycondensation reaction and the final polycondensation reaction need to rely on high vacuum reaction conditions. The vacuum suction capacity of the liquid ring vacuum pump can no longer meet the reaction requirements. Therefore, the current mainstream polyester devices all use three-stage vacuum injection devices as the second pre-polycondensation reaction and the final polycondensation reaction. The power steam of the three-stage vacuum injection device uses ethylene glycol, one of the reaction raw materials. It takes a lot of heat to heat the liquid ethylene glycol at ambient temperature to a temperature that meets the vacuum pump injection power requirements. At the same time, the low-discharge sewage pipeline of the ethylene glycol evaporator directly discharges high-temperature ethylene glycol to the ethylene glycol liquid seal tank, which also causes a lot of heat waste. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a device for utilizing waste heat of a sewage pipeline of an ethylene glycol evaporator, which utilizes the heat of the sewage pipeline of the ethylene glycol evaporator.

[0010] A third pipeline, one end of which is connected to the heat release side outlet, and the other end of which is connected to the ethylene glycol collection tank;
[0011] A fourth pipeline has one end connected to the heat absorption side inlet, and cold ethylene glycol enters the heat exchanger through the fourth pipeline.
[0012] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the high-temperature ethylene glycol discharged from the ethylene glycol evaporator enters the heat release side of the heat exchanger through the first pipeline, and the cold ethylene glycol enters the heat absorption side of the heat exchanger from the heat absorption side inlet. The high-temperature ethylene glycol and the cold ethylene glycol exchange heat in the heat exchanger. The high-temperature ethylene glycol after heat release enters the ethylene glycol collection tank through the third pipeline, and the cold ethylene glycol after heat absorption enters the ethylene glycol evaporator through the third pipeline, so that the ethylene glycol evaporator is supplemented with ethylene glycol, thereby utilizing the heat of the ethylene glycol evaporator discharge pipeline.
