This can realize the recovery of heat from the boiler body when the boiler enters the shutdown state. At the same time, before the boiler is started next time, the stored hot water can be injected into the water jacket to preheat the boiler body and increase the temperature, thereby improving the thermal efficiency of the boiler startup stage, saving energy, being efficient, and operating reliably.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] Below, the present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a boiler preheating and heat recovery system includes a thermal oil boiler 1, a steam generator 2, a water storage tank 3 and a water supply device. The thermal oil boiler 1 is provided with a water jacket 11 around its outer wall. The water inlet and water outlet of the water jacket 11 are respectively provided with a water inlet pipe 10 and a return pipe 20 connected to the water storage tank 3. The return pipe 20 is provided with a first pump body 1a.

[0029] The thermal oil boiler 1 is connected to the steam generator 2 via a thermal oil circulation pipe 30, and a second pump body 2a is provided on the thermal oil circulation pipe 30;

[0030] The water supply device includes a softening device 4, a first soft water tank 5 and a second soft water tank 6. The first soft water tank 5 is connected to the tap water pipe 40 through the softening device 4, the first soft water tank 5 is connected to the water storage tank 3 through a first water outlet pipe 50, and is connected to the water inlet of the steam generator 2 through a second water outlet pipe 60. The second soft water tank 6 is connected to the water storage tank 3 through a first water inlet pipe 70, and is connected to the water inlet of the steam generator 2 through a third water outlet pipe 80.

[0031] In this embodiment, the softening device 4 is used to prepare tap water into soft water. The structure and working principle of the softening device 4 are conventional technologies and will not be repeated here. The first soft water tank 5 is used to store soft water supplied to the steam generator 2 and the water storage tank 3. The second soft water tank 6 is used to store hot soft water supplied to the steam generator 2. The water storage tank 3 is used to store hot soft water formed by absorbing the heat of the boiler body.

[0032] In this embodiment, during normal operation, the first soft water tank 5 supplies soft water to the water storage tank 3 and the steam generator 2. The soft water entering the steam generator 2 is converted into steam after passing through the high-temperature thermal oil and discharged. The soft water entering the water storage tank 3 is circulated into the water jacket 11 under the action of the first pump body 1a to absorb heat from the boiler furnace. Thus, when the boiler switches from operation to shutdown, the heat from the boiler furnace can be recovered and converted into hot soft water to be stored in the water storage tank 3, or the excess water can be transported to the second soft water tank 6.

[0033] The hot soft water transported to the second soft water tank 6 can be used by the steam generator 2 to improve the steam output efficiency; and the hot soft water stored in the water storage tank 3 can be injected into the water jacket 11 before the next start of the boiler to preheat the boiler furnace body and improve the thermal efficiency of the boiler startup phase, saving energy, being efficient and reliable in operation.

[0034] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first water outlet pipe 50 , the second water outlet pipe 60 , the first water inlet pipe 70 and the third water outlet pipe 80 are respectively provided with a first valve 1 b , a second valve 2 b , a third valve 3 b and a fourth valve 4 b .

[0035] In this embodiment, the first water outlet pipe 50 is controlled to be open and closed by the first valve 1b to control the delivery of soft water to the water storage tank 3; the second water outlet pipe 60 and the third water outlet pipe 80 are controlled to be open and closed by the second valve 2b and the fourth valve 4b respectively, thereby controlling the supply of hot soft water or soft water to the steam generator 2; and the three valves are used to control the passage of the first water inlet pipe 70 to control the hot soft water in the water storage tank 3 to enter the second soft water tank 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the boiler switches from operation to shutdown, the first valve 1b, the second valve 2b, the third valve 3b and the fourth valve 4b are closed. Under the action of the first pump body 1a, the water in the water storage tank 3 circulates into the water jacket 11 to absorb the heat of the boiler furnace body. When the hot soft water in the water storage tank 3 reaches the set temperature, the first pump body 1a stops and the third valve 3b opens, allowing the hot soft water in the water storage tank 3 to enter the second soft water tank 6. At the same time, the first valve 1b opens to inject room temperature soft water into the water storage tank 3. After the set amount is reached, the first valve 1b and the third valve 3b are closed, and the first pump body 1a is started. The above actions are repeated until the temperature of the boiler furnace body drops to the set temperature. At this time, the hot soft water in the water storage tank 3 is no longer discharged into the second soft water tank 6, but is stored and kept warm. Before the next start of the boiler, it is injected into the water jacket 11 to preheat the boiler furnace body.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the efficiency of soft water entering the water tank 3 and hot soft water discharging from the water tank 3 and improve system reliability, a third pump body 3a and a fourth pump body 4a are respectively provided on the first water outlet pipe 50 and the first water inlet pipe 70.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to accurately detect the temperature of the soft water in the water tank 3, a first temperature sensor 7 for detecting the temperature of the hot soft water is provided on the water tank 3.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first upper water level sensor 31 and a first lower water level sensor 32 are provided in the water tank 3 .

[0040] In this embodiment, when the soft water level in the water storage tank 3 is higher than the first upper water level sensor 31, the third pump body 3a stops and the first valve 1b is closed. At this time, the soft water circulates in the water jacket 11 to absorb heat. After reaching the set temperature, the fourth pump body 4a is started, the third valve 3b is opened, and the hot soft water flows from the water storage tank 3 into the second soft water tank 6; when the hot soft water level in the water storage tank 3 is lower than the first lower water level sensor 32, the fourth pump body 4a stops, the third valve 3b is closed, the third pump body 3a is started, the first valve 1b is opened, and normal temperature soft water is injected into the water storage tank 3. Then the above actions are repeated, and the flow of hot soft water into the second soft water tank 6 and the flow of normal temperature soft water into the water storage tank 3 can be accurately controlled according to the temperature of the hot soft water.

[0041] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to accurately control the storage amount of soft water in the first soft water tank 5 and ensure the supply of soft water, a second upper water level sensor 51 and a second lower water level sensor 52 are provided in the first soft water tank 5 .

[0042] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, a third upper water level sensor 61 and a third lower water level sensor 62 are provided in the second soft water tank 6 .

[0043] In this embodiment, when the water level of hot soft water in the second soft water tank 6 is higher than the third upper water level sensor 61, the fourth body stops, the third valve 3b is closed, the second valve 2b is closed, and the fourth valve 4b is opened. The hot soft water is supplied to the steam generator 2 to prepare steam, which is more efficient and energy-saving than preparing steam with normal temperature soft water. When the water level of hot soft water in the second soft water tank 6 is lower than the third lower water level sensor 62, when the soft water in the water storage tank 3 reaches the set temperature and is sufficient, the fourth body starts, the third valve 3b is opened, the fourth valve 4b is closed, and the second valve 2b is opened. At this time, the second soft water tank 6 is in a state of storing hot soft water, and the steam generator 2 is supplied with normal temperature soft water to work.

[0044] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the heat loss of the boiler is reduced and the energy consumption is lowered; the thermal oil boiler 1 is provided with an insulation layer 12 on the outside of the water jacket 11.

[0045] Furthermore, the heat preservation effect of hot soft water is improved, heat loss is reduced, and energy consumption is lowered; the water storage tank 3 and the second soft water tank 6 are boxes with heat preservation function.

[0046] Furthermore, the first valve 1b, the second valve 2b, the third valve 3b and the fourth valve 4b are solenoid valves.

[0047] In this embodiment, the solenoid valve has the advantages of fast response speed, good stability, strong controllability, etc., which greatly improves the on-off control stability of each pipeline.

[0048] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and deformations can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all of these changes and deformations should fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model patent.
