[0037] See Figure 1 - Figure 2 , a high-pressure flash steam waste heat utilization system, including: steam turbine 1, electric motor 4, condenser 5, water storage tank 6, circulating water system, make-up water tank 7, make-up water pump 8.
[0038] The output shaft of the steam turbine 1 is connected to the input end of the motor 4 through the first clutch 3, and the make-up water pump 8 is connected to the output end of the motor 4 through the second clutch 9; a circulating water system is connected between the water storage tank 6 and the condenser 5.
[0039] Among them, the circulating water system includes: a hot water tank 10, a cooling tower 12, and a cold water tank 14; the inlet of the hot water tank 10 is connected to the outlet of the water storage tank 6 through a condensate pump 11, the inlet of the cooling tower 12 is connected to the outlet of the hot water tank 10 through a hot water pump 13, and the inlet of the cold water tank 14 is connected to the outlet of the cooling tower 12 through a cold water pump 15; the outlet of the cold water tank 14 is connected to the cooling inlet of the condenser 5 through a cooling water pump 2, the water outlet of the make-up water tank 7 is connected to the inlet of the cold water tank 14 through the make-up water pump 8, and the pump shaft of the make-up water pump 8 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 4 through the second clutch 9. The first clutch 3 is an overrunning clutch, and the model can be XHL-36. The second clutch 9 can be an electromagnetic clutch, and the model can be a dry single-plate electromagnetic clutch TJ-A type. The motor 5 is an asynchronous motor.
[0040] The 0.9 MPa, 175 - 180 °C, about 20 T / h saturated steam emptied from the flash evaporation system is input to the steam turbine 1 for work, and about 2500 KW of work can be done. The steam turbine 1 is used to drive the motor 5 for asynchronous power generation. At this time, the second clutch 9 is disengaged. During the work of the steam turbine 1, the exhaust steam is condensed in the condenser 5, and the condensed water flows into the water storage tank 6. After the condensed water in the water storage tank 6 reaches a certain amount, it is transported to the hot water tank 10 through the condensate pump 11. The condensed water in the hot water tank 10 is transported to the cooling tower 12 through the hot water pump 13. The cooling tower 12 can cool down the water from the hot water tank 10. The cooled water is transported to the cold water tank 14 through the cold water pump. The power of the cooling tower 12 can be adjusted according to the required cold water temperature in the cold water tank 14. The cold water in the cold water tank 14 is transported to the condenser 5 as a cooling medium through the cooling water pump 21. The cooling medium input to the condenser 5 can also be cycled into the hot water tank 10 and used again after being cooled.
[0041] In this embodiment, the condensed water is cooled and used as a cold zone medium, or the condensed water can be discharged to the demineralized water system required by the factory, or other uses can be carried out, such as directly recycling it as boiler feed water.
[0042] When it is necessary to supplement cooling water to the cold water tank 14, the steam turbine 1 drives the motor 4 and the make-up water pump 8 to transport the cooling water in the make-up water tank 7 into the cold water tank 14. When it is not necessary to supplement cooling water to the cold water tank 14, the second clutch 9 is disengaged, and the motor 4 is switched to the power generation mode, and power generation is only carried out through the motor 4; in most cases, the motor is in the asynchronous power generation state.
[0043] The steam turbine 1 is connected to the electric motor 4 through the first clutch 3. When the steam turbine system fails and shuts down, the first clutch 3 disengages. At this time, if water replenishment is required, the second clutch engages, and the electric motor 4 is directly used as the driving mechanism to drive the water replenishing pump.
[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the model of the steam turbine 1 is B1.8 - 1.0 / 0.55. The steam turbine body mainly consists of a rotor part and a stator part. The rotor part includes a rotor, impellers, blades, couplings, etc.; the stator part includes a cylinder, nozzle group, diaphragm, steam seal, bearings, bearing pedestals, governing valves, etc. The steam turbine cylinder body is a cast steel part, divided into upper and lower cylinders, and the upper and lower cylinders are further divided into front and rear halves. There are flange surfaces at both ends, which are connected and fixed together by cylinder bolts. Cylinder aging is carried out through heat treatment. The steam turbine inlet is at the right end of the front cylinder, and the exhaust port is at the right end of the rear cylinder. The inter-stage nozzles and diaphragm stator blades of the steam turbine adopt a shroud structure for grouping and welding, and finally welded in the nozzle ring groove. After welding, finish machining is carried out after heat treatment. The main shaft and impellers of the steam turbine rotor are integral forged alloy steel parts after heat treatment. The impellers are sleeved on the main shaft through hot-fitting technology. Each stage of blades is manually inserted into the blade root grooves of the same impeller, and the last blade in each row is fixed to the impeller by welding.
[0045] Furthermore, the high-pressure flash steam waste heat utilization system further includes: a lubricating oil station system for supplying oil to the main bearings and thrust bearings of the steam turbine 1 simultaneously.
[0046] The lubricating oil station system includes: an oil tank 17, an electric lubricating oil pump 18, an oil filter 19, and a cooler 20. The oil tank 17 can be 1.5 cubic meters. The electric lubricating oil pump 18 is connected to the oil tank 17 through a pipeline. The electric lubricating oil pump 18 is connected to the oil filter 19 and the cooler 20 through pipelines. The cooler 20 supplies oil to the main bearings and thrust bearings of the steam turbine 1 simultaneously through a pipeline. The lubricating oil in the pressure oil circuit of the cooler 20 is cooled before entering the key lubrication points to ensure that the oil temperature is appropriate. The oil filter 19 is used to filter impurities in the lubricating oil in the oil circulation path to improve the oil quality.
[0047] In addition, a heating device can be set in the oil tank 17 to maintain the temperature of the lubricating oil within a suitable range, ensure that the lubricating oil can quickly reach the working temperature during startup, and remain stable throughout the operation process to ensure the fluidity of the lubricating oil, lubrication effect, and safe operation of the equipment.
[0048] A pressure sensor is installed on the pipeline of the lubricating oil station system. The pressure sensor, the first audible and visual alarm, the electric lubricating oil pump 18 are electrically connected to the controller. The model of the pressure sensor can be MPM388, and the model of the controller can be WOODWARD 505 / 505E. Under any operating conditions, the normal working oil pressure is 0.1 - 0.15 MPa. The pressure sensor detects the pressure on the pipeline and sends the pressure data to the controller. When the controller determines that the lubricating oil pressure is lower than 0.08 MPa, it controls the electric lubricating oil pump 18 to start. When the controller determines that the lubricating oil pressure is lower than 0.05 MPa, it sends a first alarm signal to the first audible and visual alarm to remind the staff.
[0049] The oil tank 17 also receives the lubricating oil returned from each lubrication point through the return oil pipeline. Under any operating conditions, the return oil temperature of each bearing does not exceed 65 °C. Therefore, a temperature sensor is connected to the return oil pipeline. The model of the temperature sensor can be Kobold TWP. The temperature sensor, the second audible and visual alarm are electrically connected to the controller. The temperature sensor continuously monitors the temperature on the return oil pipeline and sends the temperature data to the controller. When the controller determines that the temperature data exceeds 65 °C, it sends a second alarm signal to the second audible and visual alarm to remind the staff.
[0050] Furthermore, the condenser 5 is a surface condenser, and the tube bundle is made of stainless steel. The exhaust steam of the steam turbine 1 condenses in the condenser 5. The condensate outlet of the condenser 5 is connected to the water inlet of the water storage tank 6, and the water inlet of the water storage tank 6 is located in the middle. A number of baffle plates 21 are connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank 6 and are arranged obliquely upward at an angle, and the baffle plates 21 are located above the water inlet of the water storage tank 6. The lower part of the water inlet of the water storage tank 6 is a water storage cavity. Among them, the inclination angle of the baffle plate 6 is 20 - 45°.
[0051] The condensate of the condenser 5 enters the water storage tank 6, and the condensate flows into the lower water storage cavity. A small amount of steam still existing in the condensate is transported upward and blocked by the baffle plate 21, condenses on the baffle plate 21 and then slides down along the baffle plate 21 into the water storage cavity, and the non-condensable gas is discharged from the exhaust port above. A spray head is connected to the top of the water storage tank 6, and cooling water can be sprayed through the spray head.
[0052] A first liquid level gauge is arranged in the water storage tank 6. The first liquid level gauge can be a float type liquid level gauge. The first liquid level gauge, the condensate pump 11 are electrically connected to the controller. The lower limit water level value and the upper limit water level value corresponding to the water storage tank 6 can be pre-stored in the controller. When the controller receives the liquid level value detected by the first liquid level gauge, it makes a judgment. When the water level of the water storage tank 6 is lower than the lower limit water level value, the controller controls the condensate pump 11 to stop working. When the water level of the water storage tank 6 is higher than the upper limit water level value, the controller controls the condensate pump 11 to start and discharge the condensate into the hot water pool 10 of the circulating water system.
[0053] Furthermore, a second liquid level gauge and a third liquid level gauge are respectively arranged in the cold water tank 14 and the hot water tank 10. The second liquid level gauge and the third liquid level gauge can be float type liquid level gauges. The second liquid level gauge, the third liquid level gauge, the hot water pump 13, the second clutch 9, and the motor 4 are all electrically connected to the controller. Lower limit water level values and upper limit water level values corresponding to the cold water tank 14, and lower limit water level values and upper limit water level values corresponding to the hot water tank 10 can be pre-stored in the controller. When the controller receives the liquid level value sent by the third liquid level gauge, it makes a judgment. When the water level in the hot water tank 10 is lower than the lower limit water level value, the controller controls the hot water pump 13 to stop working. When the water level in the hot water tank 10 is higher than the upper limit water level value, the controller controls the hot water pump 13 to start. When the controller receives the liquid level value sent by the second liquid level gauge, it makes a judgment. When the water level in the cold water tank 14 is lower than the lower limit water level value, the controller controls the second clutch 9 to engage, and drives the motor and the makeup water pump 8 to work through the steam turbine, and conveys the water in the makeup water tank 7 into the cold water tank 14. When the water level in the cold water tank 14 is higher than the upper limit water level value, the controller controls the second clutch 9 to disengage, stops the work of the makeup water pump 8, and converts the motor 4 into a power generation mode.
[0054] In addition, a vacuum pump 16 is connected to the shell of the condenser 5 through a pipeline to extract the non-condensable gas from the inside of the condenser, maintain the vacuum state inside the condenser, improve the steam condensation efficiency, and ensure the normal operation of the steam turbine.
[0055] It should be noted that the above-mentioned electrical connection is a connection method for achieving electrical continuity between circuits. It can be to connect different parts of the circuit through components such as wires, cables, and connectors so that current can flow between them; it can also be wireless, such as electromagnetic waves, radio frequencies, etc., to achieve the transmission of energy or signals without physical wire connection.
[0056] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.
