[0031] The soft water inlet of the expansion water tank 2 is used to communicate with the water outlet of the soft water pump;

[0032] The smoke inlet of the smoke chamber 101 of the heat pipe heat exchanger 1 is used to communicate with the smoke outlet of the hot-dip galvanizing furnace, and the smoke outlet of the smoke chamber 101 of the heat pipe heat exchanger 1 is used to communicate with the air inlet of the exhaust fan;

[0038] An exhaust valve 202 is provided on the top of the expansion water tank 2 .

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the heat exchange tubes in the plating tank 5 and the heat exchange tubes in the pickling tank 6 are both heat exchange coils made of titanium.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, fins are provided on the outer wall of the heat pipe 103 in the heat pipe heat exchanger 1;

[0041] A water inlet temperature meter 105 for measuring the water inlet temperature is provided at the water inlet of the heat pipe heat exchanger 1 , and a water outlet temperature meter 106 for measuring the water outlet temperature is provided at the water outlet of the heat pipe heat exchanger 1 .

[0042] In this application, tap water enters the expansion water tank 2 after automatic soft water purification, and then is injected into the heat pipe heat exchanger 1 by the circulating water pump 3 to produce high-temperature hot water. The zinc pot flue gas enters the heat pipe heat exchanger 1, heats the soft water to above 90°C, and the flue gas temperature drops to about 200°C before being discharged;

[0043] The heated hot water is first pumped into the plating-assisting tank 5, and exchanges heat with the plating-assisting solvent through the heat exchange tube, heating the plating-assisting solvent to 65-70°C, and the temperature of the hot water drops to about 60°C;

[0044] In winter when the ambient temperature is low, the pickling time of plated parts is shortened and production efficiency is improved by exchanging heat with the pickling liquid through heat exchange tubes.

[0045] In the present application, a heat pipe is a heat transfer element that makes full use of the principle of heat conduction and the rapid heat transfer properties of phase change media to quickly transfer the heat of a heating object to the outside of a heat source through the heat pipe, and its thermal conductivity exceeds that of any known metal; the heat pipe is composed of a tube shell, a liquid wick and an end cover, and the inside of the tube is evacuated to a vacuum negative pressure and then filled with an appropriate amount of working liquid, so that the capillary porous material of the liquid wick close to the inner wall of the tube is filled with liquid and then sealed, one end of the tube is an evaporation section (heating section), and the other end is a condensation section (cooling section), and an insulation section is arranged between the two sections.

[0046] In the present application, the heat pipe heat exchanger with heat pipe as heat transfer element has the advantages of high heat transfer efficiency, compact structure, small fluid resistance, and is conducive to controlling dew point corrosion. Heat pipe heat exchangers are divided into integral heat pipe heat exchangers, separate heat pipe heat exchangers, rotary heat pipe heat exchangers, and volute heat pipe heat exchangers according to their forms; according to their functions, heat pipe heat exchangers can be divided into: gas-gas type, gas-steam type, gas-liquid type, liquid-liquid type, and liquid-gas type.

[0047] In the present application, the expansion water tank is generally made of steel plate, usually circular or rectangular; due to the thermal expansion and contraction of water, when the water heats up, the water volume in the system increases. When there is no place to accommodate this part of the expansion of the water, the water pressure increases, which will affect normal operation. At this time, the expansion of the water accommodated by the expansion water tank can reduce the water pressure fluctuation caused by the expansion of the water in the system, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the system operation; when the system leaks for some reason or the system cools down, the water level in the expansion water tank drops to replenish the system; the expansion water tank can also stabilize the pressure of the system and remove the air released by the water during the heating process.
