[0004] In addition, a lot of wet sludge is inevitably produced on the production line 3, still contains about 65% water after pressure filtration, these wet sludge will be sent out of the park for treatment, since this kind of sludge belongs to hazardous waste, the treatment cost is extremely high. SUMMARY

[0005] The utility model wants to solve the technical problem to provide a waste heat recovery system for metal surface treatment plant, it can recycle a large amount of hot water heat energy, save sludge treatment cost.

[0007] The jar is a sealed jar and operates under negative pressure.

[0015] 3. After heating the sludge, the 60-degree hot water releases heat in the second heat exchanger, heats the 20-degree cold water to 50 degrees Celsius, and then enters the first heat exchanger, replacing the previous 20-degree water. This part of the waste heat is also fully utilized, effectively reducing the consumption of heating steam. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the water circulation process in a metal surface treatment plant.

[0017] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a waste heat recovery system for a metal surface treatment plant according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to efficiently recover waste heat in the aforementioned metal surface treatment plant, it is necessary to remove the cooling tower 4 and add the following equipment: a vacuum distillation tank 5 with a coil 51 inside, an ejector 6, a hot water tank 7, a water pump 8, and a second heat exchanger 9, thereby forming the waste heat recovery system for a metal surface treatment plant of the present invention. The waste heat recovery system implements the following Figure 2 The production process shown.

[0020] First, the production line of 80 degrees Celsius hot water, into the hot water tank 7; then under the action of water pump 8 into the vacuum distillation tank 5 in the coil 51 to heat the wet sludge; after heat release hot water temperature drops to 60 degrees Celsius hot water, into the second heat exchanger 9, with 20 degrees Celsius cold water heat exchange, 20 degrees Celsius cold water into the temperature of 50 degrees Celsius hot water, 60 degrees Celsius hot water into 30 degrees Celsius cold water, then into the sewage pool (not shown in the figure) can; 50 degrees Celsius hot water into the heat exchanger 2, instead of the previous 20 degrees Celsius cold water, heated to 100 degrees Celsius steam supply production line, fully recovered after heating sludge 60 degrees Celsius hot water generated by the waste heat.

[0021] Wherein, the vacuum distillation tank 5 can be simplified as a tank, the tank is provided with an inlet for sludge into and an outlet for sludge to exclude, it internally holds the waste after metal treatment on the production line, namely the wet sludge containing about 65% water, the wet sludge is provided with the coil 51, the wet sludge entering from the inlet, using about 80 degrees Celsius waste hot water as heat source to dry the sludge, which can reduce the water content, and prepare for the next step. Thus, the waste heat of 80 degrees Celsius hot water is fully utilized to heat the wet sludge in the vacuum distillation tank, avoiding the waste heat dissipation through the cooling tower, recovering a large amount of energy, and saving the sludge treatment cost.

[0022] Referring to Figure 2 , the ejector 6 is communicated with the boiler 1, the vacuum distillation tank 5 and the hot water tank 7, the ejector is a device for using a high-speed high-energy flow to inject another low-speed low-energy flow, the present application utilizes the characteristics of the ejector to generate the distillation effect. A small part of high-pressure steam delivered from the boiler 1 directly enters the ejector 6, using the suction of the high-pressure steam, a vacuum is formed in the vacuum distillation tank 5, and the boiling point of water in the vacuum state is only about 50 degrees Celsius, which can greatly improve the evaporation intensity of water in the sludge; the high-pressure steam 2 delivered from the boiler and the steam 1 formed by the evaporation of water in the sludge discharged from the vacuum distillation tank 5 are mixed in the ejector and become low-pressure steam 3, which enters the hot water tank 7 as heat source, ensuring that the temperature of the hot water in the hot water tank is above 80 degrees Celsius. The sludge containing about 65% water is changed into dry sludge containing about 25% water after distillation and drying, which can be discharged from the outlet. Since the waste heat of 80 degrees Celsius hot water is recovered by the present technology, it provides conditions for further turning waste into treasure.

[0023] Since the vacuum distillation method is adopted, there is no heat loss caused by air, and the evaporation drying efficiency is high. Combined with the drying technology, the water content of the sludge is reduced from 65% to about 25%, the sludge volume is reduced by more than 60%, and the sludge treatment cost is greatly reduced. Since the suction of steam is used instead of the traditional electric vacuum pump, the power consumption can be reduced by 70% compared with ordinary drying technology.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
