[0023] The following is a further description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0024] Depend on Figure 1 As shown, a low-temperature hot water comprehensive utilization device includes:

[0025] Low-temperature hot water tank 1, used to store and output low-temperature hot water at 65-75 degrees;

[0026] High temperature hot water tank 2, used to store and output high temperature hot water at 90-95 degrees;

[0027] a first hot water pipe network 3, wherein a low-temperature hot water pump 4 is provided on the first hot water pipe network 3, and the low-temperature hot water pump 4 is used to transport the low-temperature hot water in the low-temperature hot water tank 1 to the high-temperature hot water tank 2;

[0028] The first heat exchanger 5 is provided at the first hot water pipe network 3 and is used to heat the low-temperature hot water of 65-75 degrees to 90-95 degrees and enter the high-temperature hot water tank 2;

[0029] A second hot water pipe network 6, wherein the second hot water pipe network 6 is provided with a high-temperature hot water pump 7, and the high-temperature hot water pump 7 is used to transport the high-temperature hot water in the high-temperature hot water tank 2 to the low-temperature hot water tank 1;

[0030] The second heat exchanger 8 is located at the second hot water pipe network 6 and is used to utilize the high-temperature hot water delivered by the high-temperature hot water tank 2. The beneficial effect of this utility model is that after the low-temperature hot water is pressurized by the low-temperature hot water pump, it enters the first hot water pipe network. After sufficient heat exchange with the first heat exchanger, the hot water temperature is raised to 90-95°C before entering the high-temperature hot water tank. This prevents the release of components such as light hydrocarbons, ensuring stable pipe network pressure. The high-temperature hot water pump then delivers the heat to the second hot water pipe network for full utilization, rationally utilizing the low-temperature hot water, improving energy efficiency, and reducing system energy consumption. This utility model also has the advantages of a simple structure, easy assembly, long service life, and reduced system energy consumption.

[0031] The present invention further includes a third hot water pipe network 9, which is disposed between the high-temperature hot water tank 2 and the low-temperature hot water tank 1 and is arranged in parallel with the second heat exchanger 8. Specifically, the present invention further includes a waste heat steam generation facility 10, which is disposed on the third hot water pipe network 9 and is used to vaporize the high-temperature hot water into steam for output.

[0032] The waste heat steam generation facility 10 is connected to the first low-pressure steam network 11 and outputs 120-150 degree steam. Specifically, the waste heat steam generation facility 10 is connected to the vacuum pump 12 and outputs 180-200 degree steam to the second low-pressure steam network 13. The low-pressure steam generated by the waste heat steam generation facility can be connected to the low-pressure steam network, or it can be converted into low-pressure steam with the help of a vacuum pump and incorporated into the network; it can be reasonably adjusted according to the needs of the two networks. In fact, the first low-pressure steam network and the second low-pressure steam network have different requirements for steam temperature. Generally speaking, the steam pressure entering the first steam network is about 0.3-0.5MPa, and at the second low-pressure steam network, the vacuum pump will also be connected to 3.5MPa of high-temperature steam. The output of the waste heat steam generation facility can be reasonably adjusted according to the needs of the two networks.

[0033] The present invention also includes an on-off valve 14, located on the third hot water pipe network 9. This valve controls the flow of hot water from the hot water tank 2 into the waste heat steam generation facility 10, prioritizing the flow of hot water to the second heat exchanger 8. Closing the on-off valve allows the hot water in the hot water tank to flow to the second heat exchanger. Excess hot water is then used to generate steam for the plant's steam network.

[0034] The present invention also includes a detector 15 for detecting the temperature of water entering the low-temperature hot water tank 1. Specifically, the present invention also includes a circulating water cooler 16, which cooperates with the detector 15 to automatically adjust the circulating water flow rate based on temperature changes at the detector 15 to ensure a stable external water temperature. Based on the online temperature control point TI (detector), when the temperature exceeds 70°C, the waste heat steam generator increases its load to produce more low-pressure steam. Simultaneously, the circulating water cooler automatically adjusts the circulating water flow rate based on the temperature changes at the control point, thus achieving the goal of generating more steam and reducing circulating water consumption while ensuring a stable external water temperature.

[0035] The present invention also includes a flare system, which is respectively connected to the tank tops of the low-temperature hot water tank 1 and the high-temperature hot water tank 2, and is used to remove the gaseous components in the low-temperature hot water tank 1 and the high-temperature hot water tank 2, and to prevent the low-temperature hot water pump 4 and the high-temperature hot water pump 7 from being evacuated. Specifically, the present invention also includes a pressure-compensating device, which is respectively connected to the low-temperature hot water tank 1 and the high-temperature hot water tank 2, and is used to ensure the stability of the inlet pressure of the low-temperature hot water pump 4 and the high-temperature hot water pump 7 by compensating the pressure with nitrogen. The system is provided with a low-temperature hot water tank and a high-temperature hot water tank, and the tank top is provided with a connection to the flare system and the pressure-compensating device. When a gaseous component in the system leaks into the hot water system, it can be released from the hot water tank to the flare system, reducing the interference of the flare on the hot water system and preventing the pump from being evacuated due to gas. Secondly, nitrogen sealing can ensure the stability of the pressure in the tank, ensure the stability of the pump inlet pressure, and maintain the stability of the pressure of the entire plant pipeline network.
