During the initial design phase of a cooling tower, precise calculations are made for water temperature, water pressure, and water volume to be processed. Excessive fluctuations in water temperature or volume can cause the cooling tower's return water temperature to be too high, impacting the circulating water's ability to cool various equipment within the plant.

[0003] During the plant upgrade and renovation process, some plant areas will add waste heat power generation equipment at a later stage. The circulating water flow for waste heat power generation is sufficient, and the water temperature and water pressure are high; this will undoubtedly have an impact on the subsequent circulating water cooling tower; and the cooling tower occupies a large area, the construction process is complex, and the investment cost of new construction is high; therefore, on the basis of the original cooling tower, it is urgent to increase the water volume and water pressure processing capacity of the cooling tower and the problem of receiving water temperature higher than the design of the cooling tower.

[0020] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features and technical solutions therein can be combined with each other.

[0021] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1A waste heat power generation circulating water regulating device includes a water reservoir 1, a cooling tower 2 installed on the water reservoir 1 and a first circulating pump 3 for supplying water to the cooling tower 2; it also includes a second circulating pump 4 and a plate heat exchanger 5, the output end of the first circulating pump 3 is connected to one inlet end of the plate heat exchanger 5, and one outlet end of the plate heat exchanger 5 is connected to the water inlet end of the cooling tower 2; the input end of the second circulating pump 4 is connected to the inside of the water reservoir 1, and the output end of the second circulating pump 4 is connected to the other inlet end of the plate heat exchanger 5, and a heat supply pipe 6 is provided at the other outlet end of the plate heat exchanger 5.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2-4 , also includes a filter pressure reducer 7 installed at the outflow end of the first circulation pump 3 and the second circulation pump 4, the filter pressure reducer 7 includes a four-way 8, a cylinder 9 arranged at the bottom of the four-way 8 and communicating with the inside of the four-way 8, and a pressure reducing filter installed in the cylinder 9 for upward and downward sliding. The pressure reducing filter includes an inner cylinder 10, a piston 11 fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cylinder 10 and fitting with the inner wall of the cylinder 9 and the inner wall of the upper pipe of the four-way 8, a limiting ring 12 is provided on the inner wall of the upper pipe of the four-way 8; the inner cylinder 10 is provided with an opening 13 corresponding to the horizontal pipe on the four-way 8 and a filter part 14; further, the inner diameter of the limiting ring 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the piston 11, and the filter part 14 is composed of a plurality of filter holes.

[0024] In this embodiment, the maximum outlet pressure of the first and second circulating pumps 3 and 4 should be less than 0.4 MPa to ensure smooth installation of the inner tube 10 within the cylindrical body 9. A blind sealing plate 16 is provided at the top of the inner tube 10. This blind sealing plate 16 is detachably connected to the cross-joint 8 via bolts. A pull ring 17 is provided at the top of the blind sealing plate 16.

[0025] A spring 15 is installed at the bottom of the piston 11 , one end of the spring 15 abuts against the piston 11 , and the other end of the spring 15 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the cylinder 9 .

[0026] In the waste heat power generation circulating water regulating device provided in this embodiment, during the operation of the first circulating pump 3 and the second circulating pump 4, water flows through the horizontal pipe of the cross-way 8 and enters the opening 13 of the inner cylinder 10. Under the action of the filter 14, impurities in the water flow are filtered and intercepted and then fall to the bottom of the inner cylinder 10. When the impurities in the inner cylinder 10 need to be cleaned, the blocking blind plate 16 is detached from the cross-way 8. Under the action of the spring 15, the inner cylinder 10 moves upward until the piston 11 enters the upper pipe of the cross-way 8 and contacts the limiting ring 12. The piston 11 completely blocks the upper pipe of the four-way 8. At this time, the opening 13 of the inner tube 10 is exposed, and the impurities accumulated in the inner tube 10 are cleaned. The first circulating pump 3 and the second circulating pump 4 do not need to be shut down to clean the impurities trapped inside the inner tube 10. Under the action of the filter pressure reducer 7, the water pressure of the circulating water can be further reduced to avoid the impact of high water pressure on the cooling tower 2; the pull ring 17 can provide the operator with a better fulcrum, so that the blocking blind plate 16 and the inner tube 10 can be lifted more conveniently.

[0027] Specifically, it also includes a cold water make-up pump 18, the input end of the cold water make-up pump 18 is connected to the water inlet end of the cooling tower 2; when the inlet water temperature of the circulating water is too high and / or the water volume of the circulating water evaporates too much and the water volume decreases, the cold water make-up pump 18 can be used to supplement the low-temperature water source to the water inlet of the cooling tower 2, further adjust the inlet water temperature of the cooling tower 2, and also supplement the circulation volume of the circulating water.

[0028] There are two groups of the first circulation pump 3, the second circulation pump 4, the plate heat exchanger 5 and the cold water make-up pump 18; further, the two groups of the first circulation pump 3, the two groups of the second circulation pump 4, the two groups of the plate heat exchanger 5 and the two groups of the cold water make-up pump 18 serve as backup for each other; the above equipment is set up in two groups. When one of the groups fails, the other group of backup equipment is directly activated to keep the circulating water in a circulating flow state, so as to ensure a continuous supply of circulating water in the factory area.

[0029] The use process of the waste heat power generation circulating water regulating device provided by the present invention is as follows: the waste heat power generation circulating water enters the plate heat exchanger 5 through the first circulating pump 3. The plate heat exchanger 5 has a large local resistance coefficient, so the water pressure flowing through the plate heat exchanger 5 is reduced, and part of the circulating water cooled in the water reservoir 1 is injected into the plate heat exchanger 5 through the second circulating pump 4. The water pumping volume of the second circulating pump 4 is the same as the increase in the water volume of the waste heat power generation circulating water. After part of the circulating water in the water reservoir 1 enters the plate heat exchanger 5, this part of the circulating water absorbs heat and is discharged through the heating pipe 6 for heating the factory area; the circulating water pressure is further reduced by the filter pressure reducer 7, and the impurities in the circulating water are removed at the same time; the cold water make-up pump 18 is used to supply low-temperature water to the circulating water system to adjust the inlet water temperature of the cooling tower 2.
