Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam recovery, in particular to a flash tank resistant to water level fluctuation. Background Art

[0002] The steam condensate recycling industry is unable to recycle high-temperature steam condensate and flash steam (secondary steam), resulting in a large amount of high-temperature condensate being discharged into the sewage ditch, or a large amount of high-quality (desalted water) steam condensate being discharged into the ditch, resulting in a waste of heat and damage to the ecological environment. At the same time, the secondary steam generated by the steam condensate is not effectively recycled, causing thermal pollution and noise pollution, wasting raw coal, and also causing an increase in PM2.5. Therefore, in order to recycle and reuse steam condensate and flash steam, a flash tank is used.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a Chinese utility model patent with application number 202020944566.0, authorization publication number CN212431825U, and invention name "A steam condensate recovery device". The above patent discloses a steam condensate recovery device, which is provided with a distillation tower. The bottom of the distillation tower is connected to a steam condensate collection tank through a pipeline, and the steam condensate collection tank is connected to the top of a recovery hot water tank through a pipeline. A first overflow port is provided in the upper part of the drying hot water tank, and the first overflow port is connected to the top of the recovery hot water tank through a pipeline; a second overflow port is provided in the middle of the recovery hot water tank, and the second overflow port is connected to a condensate cooling tank through a pipeline, and the condensate cooling tank is connected to a recovery circulating water tank through a pipeline.

[0004] The steam condensate recovery device in the above patent recovers the steam condensate in the distillation tower and the dry hot water tank for other process needs, which saves energy and reduces the burden of sewage treatment. As is known, since the water vapor contains a large amount of dust and impurities, the impurities will accumulate at the bottom of the flash tank during long-term use, which is inconvenient to discharge and has certain shortcomings.
