[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy recovery technology, specifically to a heat exchange device before steam emission. Background Technology

[0002] In the lightweight organic polymer industry, steam is often used as a reaction medium, providing heating or drying.

[0019] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of this utility model in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a heat exchange device before steam discharge includes a first heat exchange tank, a second heat exchange tank, a first spiral tube, and a second spiral tube. The first spiral tube is fixedly connected inside the first heat exchange tank, with its inlet located outside the first heat exchange tank. The second spiral tube is fixedly connected inside the second heat exchange tank, with its outlet located inside the first heat exchange tank. The first and second spiral tubes communicate with each other. An air inlet pipe is provided at the upper end of the first heat exchange tank, and a vent pipe is provided between the first and second heat exchange tanks. The outlet of the vent pipe is located at the bottom region inside the second heat exchange tank, and an air outlet pipe is provided at the upper end of the second heat exchange tank. The first heat exchange tank exchanges heat through air, while the second heat exchange tank contains tap water and exchanges heat through liquid. The spiral tube is used to transport the tap water required by the boiler. Under the action of an external pumping device, steam enters the first heat exchange tank from the inlet pipe. The temperature of the first spiral tube rises in the high-temperature steam environment, and the temperature of the tap water in the first spiral tube also rises, which is equivalent to preheating the tap water. After the steam in the first heat exchange tank fully exchanges heat with the first spiral tube, it enters the second heat exchange tank from the vent pipe. The steam is released at the bottom of the second heat exchange tank, and the tap water in the second heat exchange tank fully absorbs the heat of the steam and exchanges heat with the tap water in the second spiral tube to be transported to the boiler. This increases the temperature of the tap water in the boiler water tank by about 10°C, reduces energy consumption, saves production costs, and finally, the steam temperature drops to a temperature that meets the emission standards before being discharged from the outlet pipe.

[0021] In the above embodiment, a gas collecting hood is provided inside the first heat exchange tank. The outlet of the gas collecting hood is located in the bottom area inside the first heat exchange tank. The inlet pipe is connected to the upper end of the gas collecting hood, and the first spiral tube is located outside the gas collecting hood. The gas collecting hood provides a detour for the steam, making the contact area between the steam and the first spiral tube larger and the heat exchange more complete. A first viewing window and a first drain pipe are provided on the side of the first heat exchange tank. When the steam contacts the first spiral tube, because the first spiral tube continuously supplies cold water, the steam will condense into water droplets after contacting the first spiral tube and drip to the bottom of the first heat exchange tank. At this time, it can be observed through the first viewing window, and the first drain pipe can be opened in time to drain the accumulated water. A pressure relief valve is provided on the vent pipe. The pressure relief valve releases pressure from the outside to the inside to prevent tap water in the second heat exchange tank from flowing back into the first heat exchange tank through the vent pipe under the action of thermal expansion and contraction. The bottom side of the vent pipe inside the second heat exchange tank has a grid-like array of notches, which releases steam along the circumferential direction, disperses the steam and makes it come into more full contact with the tap water in the second heat exchange tank, thereby improving energy utilization.

[0022] In the above embodiment, a first liquid level sensor, a second liquid level sensor, a water supply pipe, and a second drain pipe are provided on the top area of ​​the outer side of the second heat exchange tank. The first and second liquid level sensors pass through the second heat exchange tank one above the other, and the water supply pipe and the second drain pipe are horizontally positioned below the second liquid level sensor. The first and second liquid level sensors are used to detect the liquid level in the second heat exchange tank and control the liquid level in a timely manner through the water supply pipe and the second drain pipe to ensure that the liquid level is stable at a height that completely submerges the second heat exchange tank, while preventing tap water in the second heat exchange tank from spraying out from the vent pipe. The upper end of the vent pipe is provided with a side-opening support platform, and the support platform has a circular hole in the middle. A plug is slidably connected in the circular hole, and the lower end of the plug can abut against the upper end of the vent pipe. The plug seals the vent pipe under the action of gravity, and automatically pushes the plug open when steam is discharged, which is convenient and practical. A second viewing window is provided on the side of the second heat exchange tank, which allows observation of the liquid level and turbidity of the tap water in the second heat exchange tank, making it easy to determine the replacement cycle of the tap water in the second heat exchange tank.

[0023] Description of the working principle of this utility model:

[0024] Steam from the process unit enters the first heat exchange tank through the inlet pipe. Guided by the hood, the steam rises and fully contacts the first spiral tube inside the tank, preheating both the tube and the water it carries. Water droplets generated during this process are promptly discharged through the first drain pipe. After this first stage of heat exchange, the steam enters the second heat exchange tank through the vent pipe and is evenly released at the bottom, allowing the water to fully absorb the heat. This heat is then transferred to the water carried by the second spiral tube, raising the temperature of the water supplied to the boiler by approximately 10°C. Simultaneously, the steam entering through the inlet pipe (70-80°C) cools to 40-50°C after passing through this unit, meeting emission standards. With a total tonnage of nearly 40 tons and an annual steam supply of approximately 100,000 tons, this unit reduces energy consumption by 1 Nm³. 3 / t, saving 350,000 yuan in costs per year.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
