Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a boiler blowdown recovery technical field, especially a boiler blowdown recovery system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of boiler operation and maintenance, continuous blowdown and periodic blowdown are usually used to realize the blowdown treatment of the circulating water system, and part of the boiler blowdown system directly discharges the continuous blowdown and the periodic blowdown to the environment, resulting in serious waste of heat energy and water resources. Therefore, the recovery technology of heat energy and water resources in the process of boiler blowdown treatment is concerned.

[0003] At present, the steam and high-temperature water in the boiler blowdown are usually separated by an expander, specifically, the high-pressure steam is introduced into the deaerator for heating and deaeration, and the high-temperature water is directly discharged into a ditch. In order to avoid the waste of heat energy and water resources caused by the direct discharge of high-temperature water into the ditch, a plate heat exchanger is usually used for heat recovery. In addition, for the high-temperature water discharged into the ditch, it is usually first discharged to a sewage treatment station to be treated into softened water, and then returned to the deaerator for heating and deaeration, and finally added to the boiler circulating water system by the feed water pump for recycling.

[0004] However, in actual use, the deaerator recovers and processes the high-pressure steam in the process of continuous blowdown and periodic blowdown at the same time. Since the discharge amount of the saturated steam recovered at one time in the periodic blowdown is large, it is easy to cause the working condition of the deaerator to be unstable, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the recovery system. The heat exchange effect of the plate heat exchanger is limited, so that most of the heat energy in the high-temperature water is finally discharged into the ditch in the form of sewage, and the heat energy recovery rate of the high-temperature water is not high. In addition, the sewage contains a large amount of pollutants, which is easy to cause deposition and blockage in the plate heat exchanger, reducing the service life of the equipment. The sewage treatment station needs to treat a large amount of precipitates and metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in hard water, resulting in a large treatment pressure of the sewage treatment station and a high treatment cost. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new boiler blowdown recovery system. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
