Latent heat, short for phase change latent heat, is the heat absorbed or released when a substance changes from one phase to another under isothermal and isobaric conditions; sensible heat is the heat required for an object to increase or decrease in temperature without undergoing chemical changes or phase changes. When steam is used as a heat source, mainly the latent heat of steam is utilized. In a steam power system, the latent heat of steam cannot be fully utilized, so part of the latent heat and sensible heat of steam are discharged into the atmosphere, resulting in energy waste.

By providing the first safety valve 26 on the first discharge pipe 25, if the air pressure in the exchange tank 21 is higher than the exhaust air pressure of the first safety valve 26, it will automatically exhaust air to prevent the air pressure in the exchange tank 21 from being too high.
[0026] An exchange tank water outlet is provided at the upper end of the exchange tank 21, and an exchange tank water inlet is provided at the lower end of the exchange tank 21. Neither the exchange tank water outlet nor the exchange tank water inlet is marked in the figure, but those skilled in the art should understand the positions of the exchange tank water outlet and the exchange tank water inlet on the exchange tank 21. The exchange tank water outlet communicates with the boiler device 1 through the boiler feed water pipe 22, and the water in the exchange tank 21 is transmitted to the boiler device 1 through the boiler feed water pipe 22 to supply water to the boiler device 1.
[0027] The cooling device 3 includes a cooling tank 31, a cooling distributor 32 disposed inside the cooling tank 31, a second discharge pipe 35 disposed on the cooling tank 31 and communicating the cooling tank 31 with the atmosphere, a second safety valve 36 disposed on the second discharge pipe 35, a third pipe 33 disposed on the cooling tank 31 and communicating with the inside of the cooling tank 31, and a liquid level detector 34 disposed on the cooling tank 31 for detecting the liquid level height in the cooling tank 31. Both the cooling distributor 32 and the liquid level detector 34 are existing devices and will not be elaborated here in detail. By providing the second safety valve 36 on the second discharge pipe 35, if the air pressure in the cooling tank 31 is higher than the exhaust air pressure of the second safety valve 36, it will automatically exhaust air to prevent the air pressure in the cooling tank 31 from being too high.
[0028] The second pipeline 27 is connected to a position inside the cooling tank 31 below the cooling distributor 32; the upper end of the cooling tank 31 is provided with a first cooling tank water inlet and a second cooling tank water inlet, and the lower end of the cooling tank is provided with a cooling tank water outlet; the first cooling tank water inlet, the second cooling tank water inlet, and the cooling tank water outlet are not shown in the figure, but those skilled in the art should understand the positions of the first cooling tank water inlet, the second cooling tank water inlet, and the cooling tank water outlet on the cooling tank 31. The second cooling tank water inlet is at the same height as the cooling distributor 32 or above the cooling distributor 32.
[0029] The first port of the three-way valve 4 is connected to the exchange tank water inlet, the second port of the three-way valve 4 is connected to the cooling tank water inlet, and the third port of the three-way valve 4 is connected to the cooling tank water outlet through a variable-frequency water supply pump 5.
[0030] The second cooling tank water inlet is connected to a makeup water pump 6 through a check valve 7; the check valve 7 is provided to prevent water from flowing back. Of course, the check valve 7 may not be provided.
[0031] The makeup water device 8 includes a makeup water tank 81, a second condensing pipe 82 provided in the makeup water tank 81, a fourth pipeline 83 provided on the makeup water tank 82 and connected to the air inlet of the second condensing pipe 81 (not marked in the figure, but those skilled in the art should understand the position of the air inlet of the second condensing pipe 81), and a fifth pipeline 84 provided on the makeup water tank 81 and connected to the air outlet of the second condensing pipe 82; the air inlet of the second condensing pipe 82 is connected to the second pipeline 33 through the fourth pipeline 83.
[0032] The makeup water tank 81 is provided with a makeup water tank water outlet connected to the makeup water pump 6 (not shown in the figure, but those skilled in the art should understand the position of the makeup water tank water outlet on the makeup water tank 81), and the makeup water tank 81 is also provided with a makeup water tank water inlet, and the makeup water tank water inlet is used to connect to tap water or a soft water device, which is not shown in the figure. The water output from the tap water or the soft water device is transmitted to the boiler equipment 1 for makeup water through the makeup water tank 81, the makeup water pump 6, the check valve 7, the cooling tank 31, the variable-frequency water supply pump 5, the three-way valve 4, the exchange tank 21, and the boiler feed water pipe 22 in sequence.
[0033] The variable-frequency water supply pump 5, the makeup water pump 6, and the liquid level detector 34 are respectively electrically connected to the controller 9. The liquid level detector 34 detects the liquid level height in the cooling tank 31 and transmits it to the controller 9. The start and stop of the variable-frequency water supply pump 5 and the makeup water pump 6 are controlled by the controller 9.
[0034] During use, the steam to be recycled is sequentially input into the heat exchange device 2 and the cooling device 3 through the first pipeline 24 to recover heat. Specifically, the steam is input into the first condensing pipe 23 through the first pipeline 24. Since the temperature of the water in the exchange tank 21 is lower than the temperature of the steam in the first condensing pipe 23, most of the steam condenses after transferring heat to the water in the exchange tank 21; the remaining steam and condensed water further recover heat in the cooling tank 31 through the second pipeline 27, thereby recovering the heat of the steam, and the condensed water is also input into the cooling tank 31 for recovery. The gas after heat recovery can be discharged into the atmosphere through the third pipeline 33, or can be introduced into the water replenishing device 8 to further recover heat, specifically by recovering heat through the second condensing pipe 82.
[0035] The liquid level in the cooling tank 31 is detected by the liquid level detector 34 and transmitted to the controller 9. When the boiler needs to be replenished with water by the device 1, by controlling the start and stop of the variable frequency water supply pump 5 and the water replenishing pump 6, the liquid level in the cooling tank 31 is detected by the liquid level detector 34 and transmitted to the controller 9. On the one hand, the liquid levels in the exchange tank 21 and the cooling tank 31 are controlled, and on the other hand, the water replenishing requirement of the boiler by the device 1 is met.
[0036] This energy-saving device for boilers is safe, reliable and highly automated.
