Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water oxygenation technology, specifically relating to a liquid oxygen-enriched water preparation and oxygenation device. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the advanced water treatment processes for DC units, oxygenation of feedwater can form a dense oxide film on the inner wall of the pipeline in the thermal system, slowing down the rate of corrosion caused by flow, effectively reducing the rate of corrosion and scaling of thermal equipment, and extending the fine treatment operation cycle, thus having good economic benefits.

[0003] In water supply oxygenation, pure oxygen, air, and oxygen-enriched water are commonly used as the oxygenation medium. Under conditions of fluctuating thermal system pressure, gaseous oxygenation (such as pure oxygen or air) compresses the gas within the oxygenation pipeline, causing fluctuations in the gas injection volume. This makes precise control of the oxygenation amount difficult, resulting in unstable control of the water supply oxygenation and potentially leading to excessive oxygen content. Liquid oxygen-enriched water, on the other hand, is incompressible. When system pressure fluctuations cause changes in the pressure at the oxygenation point, the oxygenation rate is relatively stable due to its near incompressibility. Its stability is higher than that of gaseous oxygenation, making liquid oxygenation an increasingly preferred technical approach.

[0004] In the process of liquid oxygenation, the preparation of liquid oxygen-enriched water is a crucial step. According to Dalton's law of partial pressures and Henry's law, the dissolved oxygen content in water is directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen at the water surface. Therefore, the most critical requirement in preparing oxygen-enriched water is to ensure a stable oxygen content. Currently, the oxygen source for liquid oxygenation is generally pure oxygen supplied from high-pressure oxygen cylinders or compressed air. High-pressure oxygen cylinders typically operate at pressures above 10 MPa, making it relatively easy to prepare high-oxygen-content oxygen-enriched water. However, this requires regular cylinder replacement; furthermore, the internal pressure of the cylinders gradually decreases during use, causing fluctuations and a decline in the oxygen content of the enriched water, which is not conducive to precise control of the oxygen content in the feed water.

[0005] In existing technologies, atomizers are typically used to increase the contact area between water and oxygen to improve dissolved oxygen levels and ensure better oxygen dissolution in water. However, the oxygen content in oxygen-enriched water is often low and uneven. Consequently, the oxygen content in the enriched water fluctuates and decreases, making it difficult to accurately control the oxygen content in the feed water. Secondly, regarding oxygenation control, the instability of oxygen content in the enriched water in traditional liquid oxygenation devices, coupled with the lag in the system's water volume and oxygen content feedback control signal, leads to slow control system response and large fluctuations in the feed water oxygen content. Utility Model Content

[0027] The constant pressure oxygen tank 3 is connected to the air compressor 1 through a pipeline. A molecular sieve 2 is installed between the air compressor 1 and the constant pressure oxygen tank 3. The air compressor 1 uses air as a gas source. After passing through the molecular sieve 2, the outlet is pure oxygen, which flows to the constant pressure oxygen tank 3 for storage.

[0028] The constant-pressure oxygen tank 3 is equipped with an oxygen tank safety valve 31. The constant-pressure oxygen tank 3 is connected in sequence to a gas booster pump 5 and a multi-hole gas nozzle 7 via pipelines. An isolation valve A4 is installed between the constant-pressure oxygen tank 3 and the gas booster pump 5, and a check valve A6 is installed between the gas booster pump 5 and the multi-hole gas nozzle 7. The constant-pressure oxygen tank 3 is equipped with an oxygen tank safety valve 31. There are two gas booster pumps 5, one of which is used as a backup.

[0029] The oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 has a multi-hole gas nozzle 7 at its bottom. The oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 is equipped with a storage tank safety valve 81, a pressure gauge 20, and a level gauge 19. The level gauge 19 is installed in the lower liquid space inside the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8; the pressure gauge 20 is installed in the upper gas space inside the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8.

[0030] An atomizer 9 is installed in the upper part of the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8. The atomizer 9 is connected to a demineralized water pipeline, which is equipped with a water supply valve 12. Demineralized water 11 is sprayed into the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 through the atomizer 9. After flowing through the water supply valve 12, the demineralized water 11 enters the upper gas space of the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 through the atomizer 9. The water source for the demineralized water 11 can be from a demineralized water tank, condensate system, etc. The liquid space at the bottom of the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 is connected to a circulation pump 10 through a pipeline. The other end of the circulation pump 10 is connected to the demineralized water pipeline between the water supply valve 12 and the atomizer 9 through a pipeline.

[0031] The bottom of the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 is connected to the inlet of the metering pump 13 via a pipe. The outlet of the metering pump 13 is connected to the user pipeline 17 via a pipe that passes sequentially through a pressure regulating valve 14, an isolation valve B15, and a check valve B16. Downstream of the oxygen supply point on the user pipeline 17, an oxygen meter 18 is installed to measure the oxygen content in the medium. A metering pump 131 is installed on the outlet pipe of the metering pump 13 and is connected to the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8.

[0032] To prevent overpressure at the outlet of metering pump 13 and to accommodate users with different pressure levels, a pressure relief valve 131 is installed on the outlet pipeline of metering pump 13. The pressure relief valve 131 is connected to the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 via a pipeline. The pressure relief valve 131 has pressure regulation and overpressure protection functions. Simultaneously, the pressure regulating valve 14 has secondary pressure regulation capabilities. Two metering pumps 13 are provided, one of which is used as a backup.

[0033] The device is also equipped with a control system 21, which collects measurement signals from oxygen gauge 18, level gauge 19, and pressure gauge 20, and controls gas booster pump 5, circulation pump 10, water supply valve 12, and metering pump 13 based on the measurement results.

[0034] This utility model proposes a device for preparing and oxygenating liquid oxygen-enriched water. The specific implementation of this utility model is as follows:

[0035] Step 1: Preparation of pure oxygen, specifically:

[0036] Air compressor 1 uses air as a gas source to produce compressed air. After passing through molecular sieve 2, the compressed air exits as low-pressure pure oxygen, which flows to constant-pressure oxygen tank 3 for storage.

[0037] Step 2: Preparation of oxygen-enriched water, specifically:

[0038] Gas booster pump 5 pressurizes pure oxygen, spraying high-pressure pure oxygen from its outlet. This high-pressure pure oxygen passes through porous gas nozzle 7, then through demineralized water 11, water supply valve 12, and atomizer 9 into the upper gas space of oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8. There, it mixes thoroughly with the pure oxygen to form oxygen-enriched water. The operation of circulation pump 10 ensures continuous circulation of water in oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8, guaranteeing uniform oxygen-enriched water with dissolved oxygen levels reaching or approaching the theoretical saturation level. Circulation pump 10 has two types of automatic start / stop signals: one is timed automatic start / stop, and the other is synchronous start / stop based on the start / stop status of metering pump 13.

[0039] The system includes a level gauge 19 that measures the water level in the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 and transmits the signal to the control system 21. The control system 21 outputs a control command to the water supply valve 12 based on the deviation between the target water level and the measured water level, automatically adjusting the valve's opening to ensure the water level in the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 remains within the target range and remains stable. A pressure gauge 20 measures the pressure inside the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 and transmits the signal to the control system 21. The control system 21 outputs a control command to the gas booster pump 5 based on the deviation between the target pressure and the measured pressure, automatically controlling its start and stop to ensure the pressure inside the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 remains within the target range and remains stable. Through these methods, the pressure, water level, and dissolved oxygen content in the oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 can be ensured to be stable.

[0040] Step 3: System oxygenation, specifically:

[0041] During the unit startup phase, the flow rate in user pipeline 17 changes, the oxygen content in oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 is stably supplied, metering pump 13 operates automatically according to the control signal from control system 21, and the oxygen content in user pipeline 17 measured by oxygen meter 18 fluctuates within a small range. Oxygen meter 18 is installed downstream of the oxygen supply point in user pipeline 17 to measure the oxygen content of the medium in user pipeline 17 in real time. The measurement signal from oxygen meter 18 is transmitted to control system 21. Based on the deviation between the measured oxygen content and the target oxygen content, control system 21 outputs control commands to metering pump 13 for automatic start and stop of metering pump 13.

[0042] During normal operation of the unit, the flow rate of user pipeline 17 is relatively stable, and the oxygen content of oxygen-enriched water storage tank 8 is supplied stably. The metering pump 13 runs continuously, and the oxygen content of user pipeline 17 measured by oxygen meter 18 fluctuates very little.

[0043] During the planned power reduction shutdown phase of the unit, the flow rate of user pipeline 17 changes significantly. At this time, metering pump 13 stops operating, and oxygen meter 18 measures the oxygen content of user pipeline 17 to guide the chemical control during unit shutdown.

[0044] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. This utility model is not limited to the above examples. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
