Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum deoxidation, in particular to a boiler vacuum deoxidation device. Background Art
[0002] In the energy and power industry, in order to ensure the safe operation of the boiler, it is very important to effectively deoxygenate the boiler feed water.
[0003] Oxygen corrosion is one of the key issues affecting the safe operation and service life of boilers. With the development of hot water boilers, corrosion has become a more prominent issue, attracting significant attention. Oxygen dissolved in water is a significant factor in boiler corrosion. Experiments have confirmed that the corrosion rate is proportional to the oxygen concentration in the solution, accelerating with increasing oxygen concentration. Oxygen corrosion is characterized by ulcer-like formations and is most likely to occur in the boiler's upper drum, downcomer, and economizer. Oxygen is a very reactive gas that can directly combine with most metals. When combined, it often forms precipitates or stable oxides. The primary corrosive agent is dissolved oxygen in the water. The most effective way to prevent boiler oxygen corrosion is to enhance the deoxygenation of boiler feedwater to ensure that the oxygen content meets water quality standards.
[0004] The existing vacuum deoxidation device has a low deoxidation efficiency, which causes oxygen corrosion inside the boiler, resulting in reduced safety performance and service life of the boiler. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a boiler vacuum deaerator disclosed in the present invention includes a deaerator tank 1 and a circulating water tank 2, so the top of the circulating water tank 2 is connected to a vacuum pump 3, and the vacuum pump 3 is connected to the circulating water pump 4 through a pipeline. A deaerator tower 5 is arranged on the top of the deaerator tank 1, and the liquid pipeline of the deaerator tower 5 is connected to the pipeline between the vacuum pump 3 and the circulating water pump 4;
[0027] A double-layer spray disc 6 is provided in the deaeration tower 5, and the double-layer spray disc 6 of the deaeration tower 5 is connected to the liquid pipeline. A delivery pipeline is provided on the top of the deaeration tower 5, which merges with the delivery pipeline on the top of the deaeration tank 1 and is connected to the vacuum pump 3;
[0028] It also includes a cooling box 7, which is connected to the bottom of the circulating water tank 2, and the inlet of the cooling box 7 is connected to the circulating water pump 4;
[0029] The bottom of the deaerator tank 1 is connected to the boiler via a pipeline, and a flue economizer 8 is provided on the pipeline.
[0030] The vacuum deoxygenation device of this embodiment is based on Henry's law, which states that in a closed container, the amount of gas dissolved in water is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas on the water surface. When water boils, the partial pressure of the vapor on the water surface increases, while the partial pressure of the gas dissolved in the water decreases. When the water surface is filled with water vapor, the water no longer has the ability to dissolve the gas, and the dissolved gas precipitates out. The saturation temperature characteristic of water indicates that even low-temperature water can boil in a vacuum. Vacuum deoxygenation utilizes this characteristic to achieve its purpose.
[0031] The deaerator tank 1 and circulating water tank 2 are combined into a single horizontal tank. A water pump and a vacuum jet pump generate a vacuum of 91.8-93.1 kPa, bringing softened water with an incoming liquid temperature of t≥43°C to a boil (the client's incoming raw liquid is heated to ≥43°C via a plate heat exchanger at 23°C). Oxygen and related gases in the water are drawn into the water tank for gas-liquid separation and then discharged through the tank exhaust port. The treated feedwater has an oxygen content of ≤0.05-0.1 mg and is then supplied to the boiler for use. This non-heating method conserves high-quality steam resources.
[0032] Deoxygenation is divided into two links: atomization and vacuum. The incoming softened water is divided into two pipelines and enters the double-layer spray disk 6 of the deaerator 5. The double-layer spray disk 6 is a two-layer annular nozzle that is atomized into fine droplets to accelerate the removal of oxygen in the incoming water. The circulating water pump 4 is frequency-controlled. According to the temperature of the incoming liquid, the spray vacuum is adjusted to keep the deaerator 1 within a reasonable vacuum range to maximize energy saving. The condensate collected by the steam is returned to the deaerator 5 for deoxygenation according to the liquid level control, and no sewage is discharged. When the water temperature in the circulating water tank is too high, it is cooled by the circulating water cooling box 7. The circulating water cooling box 7 adopts a stainless steel shell and tube heat exchanger and uses the 10-20℃ recycled water in the plant area as the cooling medium;
[0033] A liquid level gauge 9 is provided in the deaerator tank 1 , a first overflow port 10 is provided on the deaerator tank 1 at a certain height from the bottom of the tank body, and a manhole 11 is provided on the top of the deaerator tank 1 .
[0034] The main function of the liquid level gauge 9 in the deaerator tank 1 is to monitor and control the water level in the tank. The liquid level gauge 9 can display the water level in the tank in real time, which is very important for ensuring the deaeration effect and the safe operation of the equipment.
[0035] Manhole 11, located on deaerator tank 1, provides convenient access for personnel to enter and exit the tank for installation, inspection, maintenance, and cleaning. Manhole 11, typically located at the top of the deaerator tank 1, can be easily opened and closed to ensure safety and a tight seal within the tank. During equipment inspection or cleaning, personnel can enter the tank through manhole 11 to perform necessary operations, ensuring stable operation and maintenance of the equipment.
[0036] The top of the circulating water tank 2 is provided with a gas outlet 12, and a second overflow port 13 is provided at a certain height from the bottom of the tank. The gas outlet 12 is provided to release gas. In the circulating water tank, gas will be dissolved or generated during the water circulation process. The gas outlet can release this gas to prevent the pressure in the tank from being too high.
[0037] The setting of the first overflow port 10 and the second overflow port 13 can control the water level in the deaerator tank 1 and the circulating water tank 2. When the water level in the deaerator tank 1 and the circulating water tank 2 exceeds the set value, the excess water is discharged through the first overflow port 10 and the second overflow port 13 to maintain the normal water level in the tank body.
[0038] The specific heights of the first overflow port 10 and the second overflow port 13 are set according to the specific requirements of the deaerator tank 1 .
[0039] In addition, to ensure the normal use of the boiler, the water pump and vacuum device are both used in conjunction with one for backup.
[0040] When the water pump or vacuum pump 3 fails and the equipment is shut down urgently, the nitrogen sealing valve is activated and nitrogen is injected into the deoxygenated water tank to seal it and prevent outside air from entering.
[0041] At the same time, a PLC inverter control cabinet can be configured to control various electrical components.
[0042] The entire horizontal tank can be installed on a skid with an integral base at the location of the previously abandoned thermal deaerator tank 1 in the house.
[0043] The utility model of the boiler vacuum deaerator has strong adaptability, low failure rate, low energy consumption and high safety performance: the instruments and electrical appliances are standard high-temperature resistant products, the system is simple and the reliability is strong.
[0044] The device has a high degree of automation and adopts PLC program control, which is easy to operate and reduces labor intensity. The device is a complete set of skid-mounted equipment, which is reasonable and compact, occupies a small area, and is easy to construct and install;
[0045] The device does not regenerate any waste by-products.
[0046] The above specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments that are not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
