Specific embodiments
[0023] An embodiment of the present utility model provides an energy-saving device for a steam generator, as Figure 1-2 shown, including a rectifying column 101 and a steam pressure stabilizing buffer tank 113.

One end of the stock solution reboiler 102 is connected to the lower end of the rectifying column 101, and the top end of the stock solution reboiler 102 is connected to the side of the rectifying column 101. A steam input pipeline 104 is connected and provided on one side end face of the stock solution reboiler 102, and a steam condensate pipeline 103 is connected and provided on the other side of the stock solution reboiler 102. A stock solution input pipeline 105 is connected and provided at the top end of the side of the rectifying column 101. A shell-and-tube steam generator 108 is provided on one side of the rectifying column 101. The surface of the shell-and-tube steam generator 108 is respectively provided with four interfaces. An interface on one side is connected and provided with a demineralized water pipeline 106, and an interface on the other side is connected and provided with a low-pressure steam output pipe 107. The low-pressure steam output pipe 107 is connected to the top end of the steam pressure stabilizing buffer tank 113.
[0024] It should be further noted that the shell-and-tube steam generator is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, generally arranged vertically or horizontally. It is preferably horizontal for small transformation space and simple layout. The material at the top of the rectifying column passes through the shell side for inlet and outlet, and the demineralized water passes through the tube side for inlet, and the output is a mixture of steam and demineralized water.
[0025] Furthermore, a top output pipeline 117 is connected and provided between the top end interface of the shell-and-tube steam generator 108 and the top end of the rectifying column 101.
[0026] Furthermore, a stock solution condenser 109 is provided between the shell-and-tube steam generator 108 and the rectifying column 101, and the stock solution condenser 109 is connected to one side of the top output pipeline 117.
[0027] Furthermore, control valves 118 are respectively provided at the connecting positions of the top output pipeline 117 with the shell-and-tube steam generator 108 and the stock solution condenser 109. One side of the stock solution condenser 109 is connected to the bottom interface of the shell-and-tube steam generator 108.
[0028] Furthermore, a circulating water condenser 110 is provided on one side of the stock solution condenser 109, and the inlet of the circulating water condenser 110 is communicated with the outlet of the stock solution condenser 109.
[0029] Furthermore, a separation tank 111 is provided on one side of the circulating water condenser 110, and the circulating water condenser 110 is communicated with the inlet of the separation tank 111.
[0030] Furthermore, a material pump group 112 is fixedly provided on one side of the separation tank 111. The separation tank 111 is communicated with the material pump group 112, and one side of the separation tank 111 is communicated with the side reflux port of the rectification column 101.
[0031] Furthermore, two steam pressure stabilizing buffer tanks 113 are juxtaposed. The inlet of the steam pressure stabilizing buffer tank 113 on one side is communicated with the low-pressure steam output pipe 107. The top of the steam pressure stabilizing buffer tank 113 on the other side is communicated with a steam compressor 115, and a connecting pipe 114 is communicated between the inlet of the steam compressor 115 and the bottom outlet of the steam pressure stabilizing buffer tank 113 on one side.
[0032] It should be noted that steam is input into the steam compressor 115 through the connecting pipe 114.
[0033] Furthermore, the bottom outlet of the steam pressure stabilizing buffer tank 113 on the other side is communicated with a steam output pipe 116.
[0034] It should be further noted that the steam output pipe 116 is communicated with the output pipe for steam use.
[0035] When using this solution, first drive each component to install and connect the pipeline. The following instructions use the production process of phenol for illustration. The phenol raw material is input into the distillation column 101 through the stock solution input pipeline 105, and is reboiled by the stock solution reboiler 102 through the connection between the bottom of the distillation column 101 and the stock solution reboiler 102. Then, it flows back into the distillation column 101. The steam mixed with phenol in the distillation column 101 is output to the shell-and-tube steam generator 108 through the top of the distillation column 101 connected to the top output pipeline 117, and the on-off control of the pipeline is carried out through the control valve 118. Subsequently, demineralized water is input through the demineralized water pipeline 106 and heat exchange is carried out through the shell-and-tube steam generator 108. Then, after the demineralized water absorbs the latent heat of vaporization of the phenol gas through the shell-and-tube steam generator 108, the demineralized water vaporizes to achieve heat transfer. Subsequently, the demineralized water that has absorbed the latent heat of the phenol gas in the gas phase will generate low-temperature steam (115°C) under certain operating conditions. Then, the low-temperature steam is input into the steam pressure stabilizing buffer tank 113 on one side through the low-pressure steam output pipe 107, stored and collected, and then output to the steam compressor 115 through the connecting pipeline 114. After being pressurized to a temperature of 152°C and a pressure of 0.4 MPaG, it is input into another steam pressure stabilizing buffer tank 113 for pressure stabilizing and buffering. Subsequently, the compressed high-pressure steam is used as the heat source for the remaining devices to circulate through the steam output pipe 116. This process can achieve continuous heat recovery.
