Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of condensate recovery, in particular to an integrated device for high-efficiency heat energy recovery of condensate. Background Art

[0002] In the chemical industry, the composition of condensate produced by chemical plants is relatively complex, and the condensate recovery equipment is relatively complex. After the condensate flashes in the closed recovery tank, the medium in the closed recovery tank is steam condensate, and the temperature is about 120°C. Therefore, the condensate pump is very prone to cavitation during the transportation process, resulting in low operating efficiency, high noise, increased pump vibration, and frequent equipment failures, which has become a major equipment hidden danger in the production of the device and seriously threatens the safe production of the device. For this reason, a device that can effectively cool and reduce the pressure of condensate is urgently needed to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide an integrated device for efficiently recovering heat energy of condensate, aiming to solve the problem that the heat energy of condensate is difficult to recover at present.

[0004] The above technical objectives of the utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A condensate high-efficiency heat energy recovery integrated device, characterized in that it comprises a tank body and a heat exchange body, the top of the tank body is provided with an exhaust port, the bottom of the tank body is provided with a drain pipe, a condensation plate is provided in the tank body, the projection of the condensation plate in the vertical direction covers the projection of the exhaust port in the vertical direction, a plurality of water inlets are provided on the tank body, the water inlets are located below the condensation plate, the heat exchange body horizontally penetrates the tank body, a water seal pipe is provided at one end of the drain pipe away from the tank body, both ends of the water seal pipe are connected to the drain pipe A drain valve is arranged on the drain pipe, and the drain valve is located between the two ends of the water seal pipe. A water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe are arranged on the side of the water seal pipe close to the heat exchanger. One end of the water inlet pipe is communicated with the heat exchanger, and the other end is communicated with the drain pipe. A switching valve is also arranged on the drain pipe, and the switching valve is located between the water inlet pipe and the water seal pipe. One end of the water outlet pipe is communicated with the heat exchanger, and the other end is communicated with the middle part of the water seal pipe. A water inlet valve is arranged on the water inlet pipe, and a water outlet valve is arranged on the water outlet pipe.

[0006] Through the above technical scheme, when the equipment is working normally, the condensed water generated by the chemical device enters the tank body through the water inlet, and first undergoes a flash evaporation stage. The formed steam rises to the top of the tank body. After the steam hits the condensation plate, large-diameter droplets will condense on the condensation plate to form condensed water and fall back. The remaining steam will bypass the condensation plate and be discharged from the exhaust port; a part of the fallen condensed water drops onto the surface of the heat exchanger to form the first heat exchange, and then continues to flow to the bottom of the tank body and enters the drain pipe. At this time, the drain valve and the switching valve are closed at the same time, and the water inlet valve and the water outlet valve are opened at the same time. The condensed water enters the water inlet pipe through the drain pipe, and then enters the heat exchanger for the second heat exchange. The cooled condensed water flows out from the water outlet pipe into the water seal pipe, and then flows from the water seal pipe into the other end of the drain pipe for discharge.

[0007] When the heat exchanger is maintained and inspected, open the switching valve, close the water inlet valve, water outlet valve and drain valve, and the condensed water will directly enter the water seal pipe from the drain pipe, and then flow into the other end of the drain pipe and be discharged.

[0008] Through two heat exchanges, the condensate of the chemical plant can be discharged under reduced pressure and the heat energy of the condensate can be recovered. The heat recovery efficiency is high, thus saving energy. When the condensate temperature is reduced, the saturated vapor pressure is reduced, which reduces the cavitation damage to the equipment. At the same time, the tank body and the heat exchange body are integrated structures, occupying a small area and having a low cost. At the same time, when the heat exchange body is maintained and repaired, there is no need to stop the entire set of equipment, which reduces the maintenance cost.

[0009] It should be understood that the principle and structure of the flash evaporation stage of condensed water are common technologies in the art and will not be elaborated herein.

[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: the heat exchange body includes a condensate tank and a desalted water tank, the condensate tank and the desalted water tank are detachably connected, the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are both connected to the condensate tank, the desalted water tank is located outside the tank body, a heat exchange tube is arranged inside the heat exchange body, the desalted water tank includes a water inlet part and the water outlet part, the water inlet end of the heat exchange tube is connected to the water inlet part, and the water outlet end of the heat exchange tube is connected to the water outlet part.

[0011] Through the above technical scheme, condensed water enters the condensate water tank from the water inlet pipe, and low-temperature desalted water enters the heat exchange tube from the water inlet. After the heat exchange is completed in the condensate water tank, the heated desalted water enters the water outlet and is discharged, and the cooled condensed water is discharged from the water outlet pipe. The heat energy exchange is completed, and the desalted water tank can be removed to maintain the desalted water tank, heat exchange tube and condensate water tank, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0012] The utility model is further configured as follows: the water inlet is located below the water outlet.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, low-temperature desalted water can fill the heat exchange tubes and then be discharged, and the heat exchange efficiency of the equipment is higher.

[0014] The utility model is further configured as follows: a heat insulation board is arranged between the water inlet and the water outlet.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, it is difficult for the low-temperature desalted water in the water inlet and the heated desalted water in the water outlet to exchange heat, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the entire heat exchange body.

[0016] The utility model is further configured as follows: the condensate tank includes a first flange, the desalted water tank includes a second flange, the heat exchange tube includes a bundled tube plate, the bundled tube plate is located between the first flange and the second flange, and the first flange, the bundled tube plate and the second flange are connected in sequence by bolts.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, when the heat exchanger needs to be maintained, the bolts are removed, the first flange, the tube sheet and the second flange are separated, and after the desalted water tank is removed, the heat exchange tube inside the condensate tank can be taken out for maintenance. The operation is simple and convenient, reducing the difficulty and cost of subsequent maintenance.

[0018] The utility model is further configured as follows: a buffer plate is arranged in the condensate tank, and the buffer plate is close to the connection between the water inlet pipe and the condensate tank.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, condensed water directly impacts the buffer plate through the water inlet pipe, and then flows into the condensate tank, thereby reducing the impact of the incoming water on the heat exchange tube and extending the service life of the heat exchange tube.

[0020] The utility model is further configured as follows: a plurality of slow flow plates are vertically arranged in the condensate tank, and through holes are opened on the slow flow plates.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, after the condensed water enters the condensate tank, due to the obstruction of the slow flow plate, the water level of the condensed water gradually rises in the condensate tank, and then flows through the through hole to the entire condensate tank, increasing the contact area between the condensed water and the heat exchange tube, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0022] The utility model is further configured as follows: the water seal pipe is configured in an inverted "U" shape.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, when condensed water is discharged, it always passes through the water seal pipe, and the water seal pipe is filled with liquid, so that the pressure in the whole equipment is kept stable, and the equipment operation is more stable.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0025] 1. The device occupies a small area and has a low construction cost by setting the tank body for condensate flash evaporation and the heat exchange body for heat exchange as an integrated structure.

[0026] 2. A part of the heat exchanger in this device is located inside the tank body. The condensed water droplets undergo a heat exchange on the heat exchanger, and the condensed water undergoes a second heat exchange after entering the heat exchanger. Through two heat exchanges, the condensed water of the chemical plant can be cooled, depressurized and discharged, and the heat energy of the condensed water can be recovered. The heat energy recovery efficiency is high, thereby saving energy. After the condensed water temperature is reduced, the saturated vapor pressure is reduced, and the cavitation damage to the equipment is smaller.

[0027] 3. When the heat exchanger in this device is maintained and overhauled, open the switching valve, close the water inlet valve, water outlet valve and drain valve, and the condensed water directly enters the water seal pipe from the drain pipe, and then flows into the other end of the drain pipe for discharge. At this time, the desalted water tank and heat exchange tube can be disassembled for maintenance without stopping the entire equipment. Moreover, the heat exchange tube is independently set and can be replaced at any time, which reduces the maintenance cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
