Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste steam recovery technology, specifically to a waste steam recovery system for a low-pressure deaerator. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in thermal power plants and other enterprises with their own boiler systems, low-pressure deaerators are generally used for deoxygenation of boiler feedwater. The working principle of the deaerator is as follows: condensate and makeup water first enter the water chamber of the swirling membrane unit inside the deaerator head. Under a certain water level differential pressure, the water is sprayed obliquely from the small holes of the membrane tubes into the inner hole, forming a jet. Since the inner hole is filled with rising heating steam, the water entrains a large amount of heating steam during the jet motion. This generates a violent mixing and heating effect in a very short time and a very small stroke, significantly increasing the water temperature. The rotating water continues to swirl down along the inner wall of the membrane tube, forming a rolling water film skirt. The critical Reynolds number of the water during the swirling flow decreases significantly, resulting in turbulent rolling. At this point, the heat and mass transfer effect of the turbulent water is ideal, and the water temperature reaches the saturation temperature. Oxygen is then separated. Because oxygen cannot diffuse freely within the inner hole, it can only be discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe with the rising steam. However, the exhaust steam released into the atmosphere not only has a very high temperature, causing heat waste, but also causes enterprises to lose a lot of water resources due to the long-term release of exhaust steam, and the emitted steam will also cause certain thermal pollution to the environment. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a low-pressure deaerator exhaust steam recovery system, which solves the problems of heat waste and environmental pollution caused by exhaust steam emissions from low-pressure deaerators.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A low-pressure deaerator exhaust steam recovery system, the exhaust steam recovery system comprising: a gas-liquid heat exchanger, an exhaust steam recovery pipe, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, and a pump;
[0006] The gas-liquid heat exchanger is provided with an air inlet, an exhaust outlet, a liquid inlet, and a liquid outlet;
[0007] The air inlet of the gas-liquid heat exchanger is connected to the exhaust steam discharge pipe of the deaerator through the exhaust steam recovery pipe. The exhaust steam generated by the deaerator enters the gas-liquid heat exchanger through the exhaust steam recovery pipe to recover heat and condense into water vapor before being discharged through the exhaust port. The liquid inlet is connected to the demineralized water supply device through the liquid inlet pipe. The demineralized water in the demineralized water supply device enters the gas-liquid heat exchanger through the liquid inlet pipe. The liquid outlet is connected to the water supply port of the deaerator through the liquid outlet pipe. The condensate and demineralized water that have absorbed heat in the deaerator are used as hot return water to supply water to the deaerator through the liquid outlet pipe.
[0008] A pump is installed on the drain pipe, which provides driving force for supplying water to the deaerator.
[0009] Preferably, the waste steam discharge pipe is equipped with a waste steam discharge valve, which is located downstream of the waste steam recovery pipe and is closed during the waste steam recovery process.
[0010] Preferably, the waste steam recovery pipe is equipped with a waste steam recovery valve, which is opened during the waste steam recovery process.

[0016] Preferably, the liquid inlet valve is provided with a threshold opening, which is the minimum opening of the liquid inlet valve to meet the energy-saving and environmental protection requirements; that is, when the exhaust steam discharge valve is closed and the exhaust steam recovery valve is fully open, when the liquid inlet valve opening is adjusted to the threshold opening, the temperature of the exhaust steam released from the exhaust port is not higher than the temperature required for energy saving and environmental protection; when the liquid inlet valve opening is less than the threshold opening, the temperature of the exhaust steam released from the exhaust port is higher than the temperature required for energy saving and environmental protection.
[0017] This invention provides a low-pressure deaerator exhaust steam recovery system. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0018] In this invention, the waste steam recovery system introduces waste steam generated by the deaerator into a gas-liquid heat exchanger to exchange heat with cold demineralized water. The water vapor in the waste steam is condensed, and the waste steam is cooled before being vented from the exhaust port of the gas-liquid heat exchanger. The PLC control center intelligently and automatically adjusts the pump's start / stop, and the opening and closing of various valves based on the temperature and water level information of the hot return water in the gas-liquid heat exchanger sensed by the water temperature and water level sensors. While ensuring that the temperature and humidity of the vented waste steam meet energy-saving and environmental protection requirements, it replenishes the deaerator with hot return water at a suitable temperature and maintains a healthy reserve of hot return water in the gas-liquid heat exchanger. This achieves intelligent and fully automatic recovery of waste steam from the low-pressure deaerator, avoiding the waste of heat from waste steam emissions and environmental pollution.

[0023] This application provides a low-pressure deaerator exhaust steam recovery system, which solves the problems of heat waste and environmental pollution caused by exhaust steam from low-pressure deaerators.
[0024] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0025] Example:
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a low-pressure deaerator exhaust steam recovery system, which includes: a gas-liquid heat exchanger 1, an exhaust steam recovery pipe 2, an inlet pipe 3, an outlet pipe 4, and a pump 5;
[0027] The gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 is provided with an air inlet, an exhaust outlet, a liquid inlet, and a liquid outlet;
[0028] The air inlet of the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 is connected to the exhaust steam discharge pipe 7 of the deaerator 6 through the exhaust steam recovery pipe 2. The exhaust steam generated by the deaerator 6 enters the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 through the exhaust steam recovery pipe 2 to recover heat and condense water vapor before being discharged through the exhaust port. The liquid inlet is connected to the demineralized water supply device through the liquid inlet pipe 3. The demineralized water in the demineralized water supply device enters the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 3. The liquid outlet is connected to the water supply port of the deaerator 6 through the liquid outlet pipe 4. The condensate and demineralized water in the deaerator 6 are used as hot return water to supply water to the deaerator 6 through the liquid outlet pipe 4.
[0029] A pump 5 is installed on the drain pipe 4, and the pump 5 provides driving force for supplying water to the deaerator 6.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust steam discharge pipe 7 is equipped with an exhaust steam discharge valve 8, which is located downstream of the exhaust steam recovery pipe 2. During the exhaust steam recovery process, the exhaust steam discharge valve 8 is closed.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the waste steam recovery pipe 2 is equipped with a waste steam recovery valve 9, which is opened during the waste steam recovery process.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the liquid inlet pipe 3 is equipped with a liquid inlet valve 10.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the drain pipe 4 is equipped with a drain valve 11.
[0034] The bottom of the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 is equipped with a water temperature sensor and a water level sensor to sense the temperature and water level of the hot return water in the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the waste steam recovery system also includes: a PLC control center 12;
[0036] The PLC control center 12 is electrically connected to the pump 5, the exhaust steam valve 8, the exhaust steam recovery valve 9, the liquid inlet valve 10, the liquid outlet valve 11, the water temperature sensor, and the water level sensor.
[0037] The gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The demineralized water enters the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 and exchanges heat with the exhaust steam to generate hot return water, which is stored in the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1. The PLC control center 12 controls the opening and closing of each valve and pump 5 and the degree of opening based on the sensing information from the water temperature sensor and the water level sensor.
[0038] The temperature of the demineralized water supplied by the demineralized water supply device is not higher than 23°C.
[0039] The liquid inlet valve 10 is equipped with a threshold opening degree, which is the minimum opening degree of the liquid inlet valve 10 to meet the energy-saving and environmental protection requirements. That is, when the exhaust steam discharge valve 8 is closed and the exhaust steam recovery valve 9 is fully open, when the opening degree of the liquid inlet valve 10 is adjusted to the threshold opening degree, the temperature of the exhaust steam released from the exhaust port is not higher than the temperature required for energy saving and environmental protection. When the opening degree of the liquid inlet valve 10 is less than the threshold opening degree, the temperature of the exhaust steam released from the exhaust port is higher than the temperature required for energy saving and environmental protection.
[0040] The method of using the waste steam recovery system includes the following steps:
[0041] S1. Close the exhaust steam discharge valve 8, open the exhaust steam recovery valve 9 and the liquid inlet valve 10. The exhaust steam and demineralized water exchange heat in the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1. The demineralized water and the condensate of water vapor in the exhaust steam after absorbing heat are stored as heat return water in the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1. The exhaust steam after heat exchange is released through the exhaust port.
[0042] S2. Set the high temperature threshold, alarm high temperature threshold, low temperature threshold, unit response time, opening adjustment unit, threshold opening, high threshold and low threshold through the PLC control center 12;
[0043] S3. The PLC control center 12 adjusts the opening of the inlet valve 10 according to the hot return water temperature sensed by the water temperature sensor. When the hot return water temperature is higher than the high temperature threshold, the PLC control center 12 controls the opening of the inlet valve 10 to increase by one unit. After one unit reaction time, if the hot return water temperature is lower than the high temperature threshold, the opening of the inlet valve 10 will no longer be adjusted. If the hot return water temperature is still higher than the high temperature threshold, the PLC control center 12 controls the opening of the inlet valve 10 to increase by another unit. Then, every unit reaction time, the sensing and opening adjustment operation is repeated until the hot return water temperature is lower than the high temperature threshold.
[0044] When the temperature of the hot return water exceeds the alarm high temperature threshold, the PLC control center 12 controls the liquid inlet valve 10 to open to the maximum.
[0045] When the temperature of the hot return water is lower than the low temperature threshold, the PLC control center 12 controls the opening of the liquid inlet valve 10 to be reduced to the threshold opening.
[0046] S4. PLC control center 12 starts pump 5 and opens drain valve 11;
[0047] S5.PLC control center 12 adjusts the opening of drain valve 11 according to the amount of hot return water stored by the water level sensor; when the hot return water level is higher than the high threshold, the opening of drain valve 11 is adjusted according to the opening of inlet valve 10 at this time, so that the drain flow rate is greater than the inlet flow rate; when the hot return water level is lower than the low threshold, the opening of drain valve 11 is adjusted according to the opening of inlet valve 10 at this time, so that the drain flow rate is less than the inlet flow rate.
[0048] S6. After the deaerator 6 stops working, the PLC control center 12 opens the exhaust steam discharge valve 8 and gradually closes the exhaust steam recovery valve 9, liquid inlet valve 10, pump 5 and liquid outlet valve 11.
[0049] The high temperature threshold is set to 60-65℃; the alarm high temperature threshold is set to 70-80℃; and the low temperature threshold is set to 35-40℃.
[0050] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the waste steam recovery system introduces the waste steam generated by the deaerator 6 into the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 for heat exchange with the cold demineralized water. The water vapor in the waste steam is condensed, and the waste steam is cooled before being vented from the exhaust port of the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1. The PLC control center 12 intelligently and automatically adjusts the start and stop of the pump 5, the opening and closing of each valve, and the opening degree based on the temperature and water level information of the hot return water in the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 sensed by the water temperature sensor and water level sensor. While ensuring that the temperature and humidity of the vented waste steam meet energy-saving and environmental protection requirements, it replenishes the deaerator 6 with hot return water at a suitable temperature and maintains a healthy storage level of hot return water in the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1. This achieves intelligent and fully automatic recovery of the waste steam from the low-pressure deaerator, avoiding the waste of heat from waste steam emissions and environmental pollution. Traditional deaerators use 10t / h of 0.5MPa steam; deaerator 6 uses 8t / h of 0.5MPa steam, resulting in annual cost savings of approximately 1.02 million yuan.
