[0002] Sludge is a solid waste discharged during the sewage treatment process. It has a water content of about 80% and is characterized by high moisture content, high organic matter content, foul odor, and viscosity.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] The waste heat utilization device and method for deaerator steam provided by this utility model includes a deaerator, a three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower, a circulating water pump, and a sludge pipe. The three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower is connected to the deaerator and contains a primary heat exchange zone, a secondary heat exchange zone, and a tertiary heat exchange zone. The waste steam discharged from the deaerator undergoes three heat exchanges within the three-stage heat exchange tower, transferring its waste heat to the primary heat exchange zone. Furthermore, the circulating water pump is connected to the three-stage heat exchange tower, and the transferred waste heat is used to connect to the sludge pipe, heating the sludge pipe. The heated circulating water then returns to the primary heat exchange zone through the tertiary heat exchange zone, achieving water circulation. Based on this deaerator steam waste heat utilization device, the waste heat is used to raise the temperature of the sludge, thereby reducing its flow resistance and fully realizing the reuse of the steam waste heat. This not only reduces the resistance of the sludge pipeline transportation pipeline by more than 50%, but also achieves an energy saving rate of more than 4% for sludge thermal drying.

[0018] In addition, the top of this three-stage exhaust steam heat exchange tower is equipped with a steam-water separation structure and an exhaust port located above the separation structure. The steam-water separation structure is a wire mesh separator, an inertial separator, or a centrifugal separator. This separation structure separates the non-condensable gases and atomized droplets in the exhaust steam after the three-stage heat exchange, and then the non-condensable gases are discharged out through the exhaust port.

[0019] In addition, the primary heat exchange zone includes a steam coil and a storage water, and the end of the steam coil that extends into the storage water is provided with an exhaust port. The exhaust steam discharged from the deaerator passes through the steam coil and is divided into small streams of air through the exhaust port on the steam coil, which then enter the storage water to perform primary heat exchange with the storage water.

[0020] In addition, the secondary heat exchange zone is a liquid-spraying plate, which is set in the constriction zone inside the heat exchange tower and is staggered in the exchange zone. Utilizing the structural characteristics of this staggered distribution, the exhaust steam after the primary heat exchange moves upward in an S-shaped flow pattern and undergoes intense secondary heat exchange with the water flow sprayed out by the liquid-spraying plate.

[0021] In addition, the tertiary heat exchange zone consists of atomizing spray pipes, one end of which is connected to a casing, and the other end is equipped with atomizing nozzles. The casing is connected to a circulating water pump and is wrapped around the outside of the sludge pipe. The water stored in the primary heat exchange zone carries the waste heat from the primary heat exchange and flows to the casing via the circulating water pump to heat the sludge pipe. The heated water is then sprayed out through the atomizing spray pipe and returns to the primary heat exchange zone, thus fully utilizing the waste heat of the exhaust steam to heat the sludge pipe while simultaneously achieving water circulation.

[0022] Furthermore, a baffle is installed between the sleeve and the sludge pipe to achieve uniform heating of the sludge pipe. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0027] The waste heat recovery device for deaerator steam is used to exchange the waste heat of deaerator steam and use the exchanged waste heat to heat the sludge pipe, thereby improving the conveying performance of the sludge pipe.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the waste heat recovery device for deaerator steam includes a deaerator 10, a three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower 20, a circulating water pump 30, and a sludge pipe 40. Additionally, in the attached... Figures 1 to 3 In the diagram, dashed line A indicates the flow direction of circulating water, dashed line B indicates the movement direction of waste heat steam, and solid black arrows indicate the transport direction of sludge.

[0029] As an auxiliary device of the waste heat boiler, the deaerator 10 discharges a large amount of steam during its operation.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower 20 is connected to the steam outlet of the deaerator 10. From bottom to top, the three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower 20 consists of a primary heat exchange zone 21, a secondary heat exchange zone 22, a tertiary heat exchange zone 23, a steam-water separation structure 24, and an exhaust port 25. Furthermore, the length-to-diameter ratio of the three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower 20 is 8:1 to 3:1.

[0031] The primary heat exchange zone 21 is located at the bottom of the three-stage exhaust steam heat exchange tower 20, and includes a steam coil 211 and a water storage 212.

[0032] Storage water 212 is filled at the bottom of the three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower 20. One end of the steam coil 211 extends out of the three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower 20 and is connected to the outlet of the deaerator 10; the other end extends into the storage water 212.

[0033] A number of vent holes are provided on the end of the steam coil 211 that extends into the storage water 212. These vent holes 213 are evenly distributed on the steam coil 211. The arrangement of these vent holes allows the exhaust steam entering the steam coil 211 to form multiple small airflows that enter the storage water 212 and exchange heat with the storage water 212.

[0034] The secondary heat exchange zone 22 is located in the central constriction zone 221 of the three-stage exhaust steam heat exchange tower 20, above the primary heat exchange zone 21. This constriction zone 221 is a protrusion extending outward from the inner wall of the three-stage exhaust steam heat exchange tower 20, resulting in a smaller diameter at this point. The ratio of the diameter of this constriction zone 221 to the diameter of the wide opening of the three-stage exhaust steam heat exchange tower 20 is 4:2 to 2:5.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the secondary heat exchange zone 22 includes at least three staggered liquid-spraying discs 222. In this embodiment, there are three liquid-spraying discs 222, which are fixed sequentially at intervals from bottom to top on the constriction zone 221. The lowermost and uppermost liquid-spraying discs 222 are fixed on one side of the constriction zone 221, while the middle liquid-spraying disc 222 is fixed on the other side, allowing the three liquid-spraying discs 222 to be staggered. This staggered distribution of the liquid-spraying discs 222 structure allows the exhaust steam to flow in an S-shaped pattern as it passes through the liquid-spraying discs 222, enabling sufficient heat exchange.

[0036] In addition, the liquid distribution plate 222 is provided with several downward-facing liquid distribution holes 223. The water in the liquid distribution plate 222 flows out from the liquid distribution holes 223 and then comes into contact with the steam exhaust rising after the first heat exchange, thereby carrying out a second heat exchange. The total opening area of ​​all the liquid distribution holes 223 on the liquid distribution plate 222 accounts for 40% to 90% of the plate area.

[0037] The tertiary heat exchange zone 23 is located above the secondary heat exchange zone 22 and includes an atomizing spray pipe 231, one end of which extends outside the tertiary exhaust steam heat exchange tower 20. Several mist nozzles 232 are installed on one side of the pipe wall inside the tertiary exhaust steam heat exchange tower 20.

[0038] Water is filled into the atomizing spray pipe 231, and the water is atomized by the atomizing nozzle 232 and sprayed downwards, with the diameter of the sprayed droplets being less than 0.5 mm. The droplets undergo a third heat exchange with the exhaust steam after the secondary heat exchange, which moves upwards.

[0039] The steam-water separation structure 24 is located at the top of the three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower 20, above the three-stage heat exchange zone 23. The steam-water separation structure 24 can be a wire mesh separator, an inertial separator, or a centrifugal separator. Through this steam-water separation structure 24, steam-water separation is performed on the waste steam after three heat exchanges.

[0040] The exhaust port 25 is located above the steam-water separation structure 24. Non-condensable gases that have passed through the steam-water separation structure 24 are discharged from the exhaust port 25.

[0041] One end of the circulating water pump 30 is connected to the stored water 212 in the primary heat exchange zone 21 via a pipe, and the other end is connected to the sleeve 31. The sludge pipe 40 is used to transport sludge.

[0042] The sleeve 31 is wrapped around the outside of the sludge pipe 40, and a partition is also provided between it and the sludge pipe 40.

[0043] The sleeve 31 contains stored water that has undergone one heat exchange and has been pumped by the circulating water pump 30. The heat from this stored water can be used to heat the sludge pipe 40, and the baffles ensure uniform heating of the sludge pipe 40, reducing the transport resistance of the sludge pipe 40.

[0044] Furthermore, the other end of the sleeve 31 is connected to the atomizing spray pipe 231, so that the water stored inside can be sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 232 after releasing heat, and finally fall back into the primary heat exchange zone 21 to achieve water circulation.

[0045] According to the waste heat utilization device and method for deaerator steam in the above embodiments, the device includes a deaerator, a three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower, a circulating water pump, and a sludge pipe. The three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower is connected to the deaerator and contains a primary heat exchange zone, a secondary heat exchange zone, and a tertiary heat exchange zone. The waste steam discharged from the deaerator undergoes three heat exchanges within the three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower, transferring the waste heat of the steam to the primary exchange zone. Furthermore, the circulating water pump is connected to the three-stage waste steam heat exchange tower, and the transferred waste heat is connected to the sludge pipe to heat the sludge pipe. The heated circulating water then returns to the primary heat exchange zone through the tertiary heat exchange zone, achieving water circulation. Based on this deaerator steam waste heat utilization device, the waste heat is used to raise the temperature of the sludge, thereby reducing its flow resistance and fully realizing the reuse of the steam waste heat. This not only reduces the resistance of the sludge pipeline transportation pipeline by more than 50%, but also achieves an energy saving rate of more than 4% for sludge thermal drying.

[0046] In addition, the top of this three-stage exhaust steam heat exchange tower is equipped with a steam-water separation structure and an exhaust port located above the separation structure. The steam-water separation structure is a wire mesh separator, an inertial separator, or a centrifugal separator. This separation structure separates the non-condensable gases and atomized droplets in the exhaust steam after the three-stage heat exchange, and then the non-condensable gases are discharged out through the exhaust port.

[0047] In addition, the primary heat exchange zone includes a steam coil and a storage water, and the end of the steam coil that extends into the storage water is provided with an exhaust port. The exhaust steam discharged from the deaerator passes through the steam coil and is divided into small streams of air through the exhaust port on the steam coil, which then enter the storage water to perform primary heat exchange with the storage water.

[0048] In addition, the secondary heat exchange zone is a liquid-spraying plate, which is set in the constriction zone inside the heat exchange tower and is staggered in the exchange zone. Utilizing the structural characteristics of this staggered distribution, the exhaust steam after the primary heat exchange moves upward in an S-shaped flow pattern and undergoes intense secondary heat exchange with the water flow sprayed out by the liquid-spraying plate.

[0049] In addition, the tertiary heat exchange zone consists of atomizing spray pipes, one end of which is connected to a casing, and the other end is equipped with atomizing nozzles. The casing is connected to a circulating water pump and is wrapped around the outside of the sludge pipe. The water stored in the primary heat exchange zone carries the waste heat from the primary heat exchange and flows to the casing via the circulating water pump to heat the sludge pipe. The heated water is then sprayed out through the atomizing spray pipe and returns to the primary heat exchange zone, thus fully utilizing the waste heat of the exhaust steam to heat the sludge pipe while simultaneously achieving water circulation.

[0050] Furthermore, a baffle is installed between the sleeve and the sludge pipe to achieve uniform heating of the sludge pipe.

[0051] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application also intends to include such modifications and variations.
