[0036] Specific working principle:
[0037] Condensate recovery section of the steam-water separator:
[0038] After steam source 100 begins supplying steam, it passes through main steam shutoff valve 101 and steam filter 102 to steam separator 103. The separated steam condensate then flows through separator drain shutoff valve 104, separator drain-end check valve 105, and separator drain-end electric valve 106, entering local condensate storage tank 200. During this time, separator condensate direct discharge shutoff valve 107 remains closed. If necessary, such as for equipment maintenance, the separator drain-end electric valve 106 can be manually closed and the separator condensate direct discharge shutoff valve 107 on third pipeline 108 can be manually opened to discharge the steam condensate separated by separator 103 directly into the sewage pipe network 400.
[0039] Steam trap condensate recovery section:
[0040] After the steam-water separator 103 has initially separated steam, it passes through the steam pressure reducing valve 109 and enters the main steam trap 110. The steam condensate separated by the main steam trap 110 passes through the main steam trap discharge end check valve 112 on the drain line and enters the local condensate storage tank 200.
[0041] Heat exchanger condensate recovery section:
[0042] The steam separated from the water by the main steam trap 110 enters the heat exchanger (or gas-consuming or energy-consuming equipment) 111 directly or under control (control pipeline and valve group are not shown in the figure). The steam condenses after the heat exchange (work) is discharged through the condensate discharge check valve 113 on the sixth pipeline and enters the local condensate storage tank 200.
[0043] Local storage system:
[0044] The local condensate storage tank 200, in addition to being connected to the condensate recovery section of the steam-water separator, the condensate recovery section of the steam trap, and the condensate recovery section of the heat exchanger, has four external connection directions. The main external connection direction is the condensate recycling subsystem including the storage tank drain stop valve 501, the water pump 502, the condensate local recycling pipeline stop valve 503, the condensate recovery pump rear stop valve 504, the eighth pipeline 505, the condensate centralized storage tank 600, the condensate recovery pump rear stop valve 701, the condensate local recycling pipeline one-way valve 702, the ninth pipeline 703, and the condensate local recycling terminal 704.
[0045] Export and local recycling system:
[0046] The local condensate storage tank 200 is equipped with an electronic level gauge 201, which is primarily used to control the start and stop of the water pump 502. When the condensate is being output to the centralized condensate storage tank 600 or the local condensate reuse terminal 704, the water pump 502 starts when the electronic level gauge 201 detects that the condensate in the tank has reached a high level, and continues until the condensate level in the tank drops to the preset low level set by the electronic level gauge 201.
[0047] When the condensate is output to the centralized condensate storage tank 600, the stop valve 701 after the condensate recovery pump is opened and the stop valve 504 after the condensate recovery pump is closed. When the condensate is output to the local condensate reuse terminal 704, the stop valve 701 after the condensate recovery pump is closed and the stop valve 504 after the condensate recovery pump is opened.
[0048] In order to ensure that the condensate of the steam-using equipment is discharged without back pressure, the local condensate storage tank 200 is a static pressure tank with a moisture discharge pipe 301 on the top to transport the high-temperature moisture in the tank to the moisture discharge system 300.
[0049] To ensure system safety, the local condensate storage tank 200 is provided with a tank high-level overflow pipe 202 connected to the sewage pipe network 400.
[0050] To facilitate daily maintenance, a tank sewage pipe 203 connected to the sewage network 400 is provided at the bottom of the local condensate storage tank 200, and the opening and closing of the pipe is controlled by a tank sewage stop valve 204.
[0051] A condensate local return pipeline one-way valve 702 is installed in the pipeline system between the condensate local storage tank 200 and the condensate centralized storage tank 600. Its main function is to prevent abnormal cross-flow when other recovery systems pump condensate to the condensate centralized storage tank 600.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
