[0025] Embodiment

[0026] Refer to Figure 1, a device for eliminating secondary flash steam disclosed by the present utility model, includes a return water tank 1, a first heat exchanger 2, a second heat exchanger 3, a cold source water supply end 4, a workshop heat source 6, a boiler room 24, and a heat source water outlet end 5 connected to the cold source water supply end 4. Among them, the first heat exchanger 2 and the second heat exchanger 3 are arranged in parallel with respect to the return water tank 1. A recovery pipeline 7 is connected between the return water tank 1 and the workshop heat source 6. The high-temperature condensate generated by the workshop heat source 6 enters the return water tank 1 through the recovery pipeline 7;

[0027] The first heat exchanger 2 is arranged above the return water tank 1. An air pipeline 8 and a condensate pipeline 9 are connected between the top end of the return water tank 1 and the bottom end of the first heat exchanger 2. After the high-temperature condensate enters the return water tank 1 through the recovery pipeline 7, due to the sudden increase in the space inside the return water tank 1, the pressure of the high-temperature condensate instantaneously decreases, generating a large amount of secondary flash steam. The secondary flash steam enters the first heat exchanger 2 through the air pipeline 8. After the secondary flash steam exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 2, it is re-condensed into condensate and flows back to the return water tank 1 under the action of gravity through the condensate pipeline 9;

[0028] Two groups of parallel pressure pipelines 10 are connected between the bottom end of the return water tank 1 and the second heat exchanger 3. High-temperature water pumps 11 are arranged on both groups of the pressure pipelines 10. A circulation pipeline 18 is connected between the second heat exchanger 3 and the boiler room 24. The condensate in the return water tank 1 is pumped into the second heat exchanger 3 by the high-temperature water pump 11. The condensate exchanges heat with the second heat exchanger 3, and the condensate is sent to the boiler room 24 after being cooled down.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cold source water supply end 4 exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 2 to absorb the heat of the secondary flash steam, and the cold source water supply end 4 exchanges heat with the second heat exchanger 3 to absorb the heat of the condensate pumped out from the return water tank 1;

[0030] Specifically, a first cold source pipeline 12 is connected between the cold source water supply end 4 and the first heat exchanger 2, and a second cold source pipeline 15 is connected between the cold source water supply end 4 and the second heat exchanger 3; the first cold source pipeline 12 and the second cold source pipeline 15 are arranged in parallel;

[0031] A first heat source pipeline 16 is connected between the first heat exchanger 2 and the heat source water outlet end 5, and a second heat source pipeline 17 is connected between the second heat exchanger 3 and the heat source water outlet end 5.

[0032] Further, a first electric control valve group 13 and a first stop valve 14 arranged in parallel with the first electric control valve group 13 are provided on the first cold source pipeline 12; a second electric control valve group 19 and a second stop valve 20 arranged in parallel with the second electric control valve group 19 are provided on the circulation pipeline 18; under normal conditions, the first stop valve 14 and the second stop valve 20 are in a closed state. When the first electric control valve group 13 is under maintenance, the first stop valve 14 is opened to keep the pipeline unobstructed; when the second electric control valve group 19 is under maintenance, the second stop valve 20 is opened to keep the pipeline unobstructed.

[0033] Further, third stop valves 21 are provided on the recovery pipeline 7, the second cold source pipeline 15, the first heat source pipeline 16, and the second heat source pipeline 17.

[0034] Further, a first temperature sensor 22 is provided at the head end of the first heat source pipeline 16, and a second temperature sensor 23 is provided at the head end of the second heat source pipeline 17.

[0035] Further, a water level sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided in the return water tank 1. The present utility model further includes a controller coupled to the first electric control valve group 13, the second electric control valve group 19, and the high-temperature water pump 11. The controller is used for opening and closing the first electric control valve group 13, the second electric control valve group 19, and the high-temperature water pump 11. The controller is simultaneously signal-connected to the water level sensor, the first temperature sensor 22, and the second temperature sensor 23.

[0036] Wherein, when the pipeline temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 22 is greater than the set value, the controller increases the opening degree of the first electric control valve group 13, and vice versa; when the pipeline temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 23 is greater than the set value, the controller increases the opening degree of the second electric control valve group 19, and vice versa.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the first electric control valve group 13 and the second electric control valve group 19 are composed of multiple series-connected control valves.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first heat exchanger 2 is a tubular heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger 3 is a water-water plate heat exchanger, and the cold source water supply end 4 is the medium to be heated in the workshop.

[0039] In this embodiment, the return water tank 1 is preferably made of stainless steel to reduce the corrosion effect of condensate.

[0040] In this embodiment, the high-temperature water pump 11 is a variable-frequency water pump. When the water level sensor measures that the water level in the return water tank 1 is higher than the set value, the controller increases the motor speed of the high-temperature water pump 11, and vice versa.

[0041] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0042] The cold source water supply end 4 supplies cooling to the first heat exchanger 2 through the first cold source pipeline 12, and the cold source water supply end 4 supplies cooling to the second heat exchanger 3 through the second cold source pipeline 15; the high-temperature condensate water from the workshop heat source 6 enters the return water tank 1 through the recovery pipeline 7. Due to the pressure reduction, a large amount of secondary flash steam is generated. The secondary flash steam enters the first heat exchanger 2 through the steam pipeline 8. After the secondary flash steam exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 2, it is re-condensed into condensate water and flows back into the return water tank 1 under the action of gravity through the condensate pipeline 9;

[0043] The high-temperature water pump 11 pumps the condensate water in the return water tank 1 into the second heat exchanger 3. The condensate water exchanges heat with the second heat exchanger 3 and is sent back to the workshop heat source 6 after being cooled;

[0044] After heat exchange, the internal cold water of the first heat exchanger 2 warms up and finally flows to the heat source water outlet end 5 through the first heat source pipeline 16. After heat exchange, the internal cold water of the second heat exchanger 3 warms up and finally flows to the heat source water outlet end 5 through the second heat source pipeline 17.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and are not intended to limit them; those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present utility model.
