[0034] In an embodiment of the utility model, a steam condensate heat energy recovery device 100 is provided, which is used to fully recover the heat energy of the high-temperature steam condensate generated by the steam-refining machine during the steam-refining process through a liquid medium heat exchange method, and then reuse the recovered heat energy to improve energy utilization and save heating costs. The liquid medium includes but is not limited to: tap water, softened water, and other heatable fluid media.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the steam condensate heat energy recovery device 100 includes: a liquid medium pipeline 10, a steam condensate main pipe 20, a plate heat exchanger 30, a hot liquid tank 40, a valve branch 3, and an output branch 4.

[0036] Specifically, the liquid medium pipeline 10 includes an inlet branch 1 and an outlet branch 2. Further, the inlet branch 1 is provided with a sodium ion exchanger 11 and a drive pump 12. The sodium ion exchanger 11 can convert raw water such as tap water into softened water without calcium and magnesium ions by ion exchange. The drive pump 12 is provided between the sodium ion exchanger 11 and the plate heat exchanger 30, and is used to drive the softened water into the plate heat exchanger 30.

[0037] The water inlet branch 1 is also provided with a first valve 101. The first valve 101 is used to control the on-off and flow rate of the water inlet branch 1. The water outlet branch 2 is provided with a second valve 102. The second valve 102 is used to control the on-off and flow rate of the water outlet branch 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the steam condensate main pipe 20 includes a steam condensate inlet pipe 21 and a steam condensate outlet pipe 22 respectively disposed at both ends. The steam condensate inlet pipe 21 is used for the entry of high-temperature steam condensate generated during the refining process, and the steam condensate outlet pipe 22 is used for the discharge of condensate after heat exchange and cooling.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the plate heat exchanger 30 includes a first pipeline 31 and a second pipeline 32 for reverse heat exchange, that is, the liquid in the first pipeline 31 and the second pipeline 32 flow in opposite directions to perform reverse heat exchange. The steam condensate inlet pipe 21 and the steam condensate outlet pipe 22 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first pipeline 31. The water inlet branch 1 and the water outlet branch 2 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second pipeline 32. Therefore, the liquid medium entering from the water inlet branch 1 flows through the second pipeline 32 and exchanges heat with the high-temperature steam condensate in the first pipeline 31, thereby obtaining hot liquid.

[0040] Furthermore, the outlet branch 2 is connected to the drainage branch 5 at a position between the second valve 102 and the second pipeline 32. The drainage branch 5 is provided with a third valve 103 in the middle and a first drainage port 51 at the end. The third valve 103 is used to control the on-off of the drainage branch 5. Therefore, the second pipeline 32 can be cleaned by opening the third valve 103, and then the cleaned sewage is discharged through the first drainage port 51.

[0041] In the embodiment of the utility model, the hot liquid tank 40 is communicated with the water outlet branch 2 , so that the hot liquid obtained after heat exchange is stored in the hot liquid tank 40 .

[0042] Furthermore, a low liquid level sensor 41 is provided at a preset position at the bottom of the hot liquid tank 40, and a high liquid level sensor 42 is provided at a preset position at the top, so as to monitor and determine whether the capacity in the hot liquid tank 40 exceeds the normal capacity range. Furthermore, the hot liquid tank 40 is provided with a thermometer 43, which is used to monitor the temperature inside the hot liquid tank 40, thereby measuring and monitoring the temperature of the hot liquid.

[0043] In this embodiment, the valve branch 3 is arranged at the bottom of the hot liquid tank 40. The output branch 4 is connected to the valve branch 3, and the output branch 4 is provided with a water pump 53. The water pump 53 is used to drive the hot liquid in the hot liquid tank 40 to flow outward, and can be connected to the boiler water tank as boiler water, and can also be used as equipment cleaning water.

[0044] Specifically, a fourth valve 104 and a fifth valve 105 are provided in the middle of the valve branch 3, and a second drain port 52 is provided at the end. The fifth valve 105 is located below the fourth valve 104. The output branch 4 is connected to the portion of the valve branch 3 between the fourth valve 104 and the fifth valve 105. When normal water use is required, the fourth valve 104 is opened, the fifth valve 105 is closed, and the water pump 53 is operated to make the hot liquid in the hot liquid tank 40 flow out through the output branch 4; when the hot liquid tank 40 needs to be cleaned or emptied, the fourth valve 104 and the fifth valve 105 are opened, and the water pump 53 is closed, so that the sewage or residual water in the hot liquid tank 40 is directly discharged outward through the second drain port 52.

[0045] Furthermore, the end of the output branch 4 is connected to a plurality of water pipes 6, and each water pipe 6 is provided with a corresponding control valve 106. Figure 1 In the embodiment, there are three water pipes 6 , two of which are connected to two boiler water tanks respectively, and the other one is for equipment cleaning water. The control valve 106 is used to control the corresponding water pipe 6 individually.

[0046] In summary, the steam condensate heat energy recovery device 100 provided by the utility model fully recovers the heat energy of the high-temperature steam condensate in the steam condensate main pipe 20 into the liquid medium through the plate heat exchanger 30, thereby obtaining hot liquid, and stores the hot liquid in the hot liquid tank 40, which can be connected to the boiler water tank as boiler water or as equipment cleaning water, thereby reducing the fuel required for heating the liquid medium and saving costs.

[0047] The present invention is not limited to what is described in the specification and implementation modes, and therefore, additional advantages and modifications can be easily realized by those familiar with the art. Therefore, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices, and illustrative examples shown and described herein.
