Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circulating cooling water systems, in particular to a circulating cooling water system jointly operated by a plurality of water pumps. Background Art
[0002] Circulating cooling water systems are widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, power generation, pharmaceutical and other industries, and are an essential basic configuration in industrial production. When designing a circulating cooling water system, the water pump is usually selected based on the most unfavorable operating conditions throughout the year and a certain safety factor. During the operation of the system, the water pump has a "large flow, small head" phenomenon, and the water supply pressure cannot meet the actual demand. In order to solve this problem, the company increases the water supply pressure by closing the valve opening, but the closing of the valve opening increases the resistance of the pipe network, resulting in increased energy consumption, and may cause the water supply flow to fail to meet the actual demand.
[0003] In addition, when selecting water pumps, enterprises use all industrial frequency water pumps in order to reduce investment. The water pumps operate under rated conditions throughout the year. When factors such as seasons and ambient temperature change, the flow of cooling water cannot be changed by adjusting the industrial frequency water pumps, resulting in excessive water pressure and a flow rate that is higher than the flow rate that meets the load demand for a long time, causing energy waste. In order to save resources, enterprises reduce the cooling water flow rate by closing the opening of the pipe network valve. Although this method can reduce the flow rate of the system, it also increases the water pressure. Not only can it not effectively control the flow rate, but it also increases the resistance of the pipe network and increases the energy consumption of the industrial frequency water pump.
[0004] Aiming at the problem that the existing circulating cooling water system will lead to increased energy consumption and energy waste when adjusting the flow or pressure, the utility model designs a circulating cooling water system with multiple pumps operating in combination.

[0017] The following will be combined with the attached embodiment of the present utility model Figure 1-3 ; Clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model:

[0019] During specific implementation, the first industrial frequency water pump 4 and the variable frequency water pump 12 are jointly operated, and the first industrial frequency water pump 4 and the variable frequency water pump 12 are designed and selected according to the requirements of the design flow and design head, and taking into account the actual pipe network resistance curve and the water pump performance curve; during operation, the pressure of the water supply main 24 is monitored in real time by the pressure transmitter 23, and the pressure signal is transmitted to the frequency converter 19. When the pressure of the water supply main 24 does not meet the system requirements, the frequency converter 19 automatically controls the variable frequency water pump 12 to pressurize, so as to avoid the problem of reduced water flow after increasing the water supply pressure by closing the valve opening; when the pressure of the water supply main 24 is too high and the water flow is too large, the frequency converter 19 automatically controls the variable frequency water pump 12 to reduce the pressure, so as to avoid the problem of increased pipe network resistance and increased pump energy consumption after reducing the water flow by closing the valve opening; so that the water flow pressure in the water supply main 24 remains constant.
[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, in the second embodiment of the utility model, compared with the first embodiment, a water supply branch pipe 3 30 and a third cooling tower 31 are added; one end of the water supply branch pipe 3 30 is connected to the water supply main pipe 24; the other end of the water supply branch pipe 3 30 is connected to the water outlet of the third cooling tower 31; the water supply branch pipe 3 30 is sequentially installed with a valve 7 33, a second power frequency water pump 29, a valve 8 36, and a check valve 3 37; the valve 7 33 and the valve 8 36 are used for regulating the inlet and outlet water flow of the power frequency water pump 4 or for equipment maintenance; the check valve 3 37 can prevent the water in the water supply main pipe 24 from flowing back; the water inlet and outlet ends of the second power frequency water pump 29 are respectively provided with a pressure gauge 5 34 and a pressure gauge 6 35 for the inlet and outlet pressure of the second power frequency water pump 29; the water inlet end of the third cooling tower 31 is connected to the return water main pipe 25 through a valve 9 32, and the return water main pipe 25 is connected to the terminal heat dissipation device 26.
[0021] The above scheme is applied to the occasion where two power frequency pumps work together, and the water pressure is controlled by the variable frequency water pump 12, and the water pressure is adjusted under the condition that the branch pipe network where the power frequency pump is located is not affected. In addition, the above scheme can be extended to the occasion where more than two power frequency pumps work together.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, in the third embodiment of the utility model, compared with the first embodiment, the difference is that the valve 5 9 adopts an electrically controlled valve; the output end of the pressure transmitter 23 is also connected to the pressure alarm 22, and the upper limit alarm output end of the pressure alarm 22 is electrically connected to the control end of the AC contactor KM2 through the time relay KT2; the lower limit alarm output end of the pressure alarm 22 is electrically connected to the control end of the AC contactor KM1 through the time relay KT1; one end of the normally closed contact of the AC contactor KM2 is connected to the AC power supply, and the other end is electrically connected to one end of the normally open contact of the AC contactor KM1, and the other end of the normally open contact of the AC contactor KM1 is electrically connected to the control end of the time relay KT1, the power supply end of the first industrial frequency water pump 4, and the control end of the valve 5 9 respectively.
[0023] When the above scheme is in operation, the first power frequency water pump 4 is in standby mode. When the pressure of the water supply main 24 does not meet the system demand, the frequency converter 19 automatically controls the variable frequency water pump 12 to increase the pressure. After the variable frequency water pump 12 increases the pressure, if the pressure still cannot meet the demand, that is, after the lower limit alarm of the pressure alarm 22 is output, after a certain period of time, the lower limit alarm is still not released, then the time relay KT1 is actuated to control the normally open contact of the AC contactor KM1 to close, the first power frequency water pump 4 is powered on and started, the valve 5 9 is opened, and the time relay KT1 is self-locked, and the first The power frequency water pump 4 is put into operation; when the first power frequency water pump 4 and the variable frequency water pump 12 are working at the same time, when the pressure of the water supply main 24 is higher than the system demand, the frequency converter 19 automatically controls the variable frequency water pump 12 to reduce the pressure. After the pressure is reduced by the variable frequency water pump 12, the pressure is still too high, that is, after the upper limit alarm of the pressure alarm 22 is output, after a certain period of time, the upper limit alarm is still not released, then the time relay KT2 is activated to control the normally closed contact of the AC contactor KM2 to disconnect, the first power frequency water pump 4 is powered off, the valve 5 9 is closed, and the time relay KT1 is powered off. The above scheme designs the first power frequency water pump 4 as a standby water pump, improves the adaptability of the circulating cooling water system, and can be used in occasions where the demand for cooling water varies greatly.
[0024] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
