Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water purification systems, and more specifically, to a water quality optimization system for a gas-fired boiler. Background Technology
[0002] At present, most enterprises use steam, and gas boilers are now common. However, water quality has a great impact on boilers during use. It not only affects the quality of steam, but also reduces the service life of the equipment. Boilers with poor water quality will also increase heat loss through large amounts of blowdown.
[0003] The existing boilers mostly use softened water for feed, which contains too much bicarbonate, making the boiler water and steam alkaline, and the condensate becomes acidic after use in the workshop. After the feed water is deaerated in the deaerator, the steam is vented and wasted, and the specific water quality needs to be sampled and analyzed. The boiler water quality cannot be monitored, and personnel still need to perform boiler blowdown based on the water quality analysis, which increases the amount of wastewater discharged to the sewage treatment plant. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gas-fired boiler water quality optimization system that can effectively optimize boiler water quality.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: The gas boiler water quality optimization system of this utility model includes an ammonia tank, a soft water tank, a desalination unit, a deaerator, and a boiler connected in sequence.
[0006] Furthermore, the desalination unit is equipped with a heat exchanger, which is connected to the steam outlet of the deaerator.
[0007] Furthermore, an ammonia pump is provided between the ammonia tank and the soft water tank.
[0008] Furthermore, a first pH meter is provided at the inlet end of the boiler, and the first pH meter is connected to the ammonia pump.
[0009] Furthermore, the boiler is connected to a sewage tank via a drain valve.
[0010] Furthermore, the boiler is connected to a second pH meter and a conductivity meter; both the second pH meter and the conductivity meter are connected to the drain valve.
[0011] Furthermore, the boiler is provided with a flue gas duct, an air preheater is provided in the flue gas duct, the air preheater is connected to a blower, and the air outlet of the blower is connected to the boiler.
[0012] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects: The gas boiler water quality optimization system of this utility model sends softened water into a soft water tank. Ammonia water from the ammonia water tank is pumped into the soft water tank and mixed with the soft water to neutralize the bicarbonate ions in the soft water, making the softened water neutral. The neutralized softened water enters the desalination unit for desalination. After desalination, it enters the deaerator to remove oxygen from the water. Finally, it enters the boiler to be heated into steam. The water after neutralization by ammonia water and desalination by the desalination unit has higher purity, significantly reducing the wear and tear on the boiler equipment. Furthermore, the water condensed after the boiler steam is used can be better reused. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Example
[0022] The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, further illustrates the point, as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 As shown, the gas-fired boiler water quality optimization system of this embodiment includes an ammonia tank 1, a soft water tank 2, a desalination unit 3, a deaerator 4, and a boiler 5 connected in sequence. Specifically, softened water is sent to the soft water tank 2. The ammonia pump 10 in the ammonia tank 1 pumps the ammonia into the soft water tank 2 and mixes with the softened water to neutralize the bicarbonate ions in the soft water, making the softened water neutral. The neutralized softened water enters the desalination unit 3 for desalination. After desalination, it enters the deaerator 4 to remove oxygen from the water. Finally, it enters the boiler 5 and is heated into steam. The water after neutralization by ammonia and desalination by the desalination unit 3 has higher purity, significantly reducing the wear and tear on the boiler 5 equipment. Furthermore, the water condensed after the steam in the boiler 5 is utilized can be better reused.
[0023] In this embodiment, the desalination unit 3 is equipped with a heat exchanger, which is connected to the steam outlet of the deaerator 4. Specifically, the deaerator 4 can be a swirl film deaerator 4, which requires high-temperature steam during operation. The high-temperature steam after passing through the deaerator 4 enters the heat exchanger in the desalination unit 3 to preheat the water in the desalination unit 3, enabling faster deoxygenation when it enters the deaerator 4 and reducing steam energy consumption. The desalination unit 3 can be a commercially available finished device, such as the "Demineralized Water Equipment System" from Keda Environmental Protection Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. The heat exchanger is mainly used to heat the water after desalination in the desalination unit.
[0024] In this embodiment, an ammonia pump 10 is installed between the ammonia tank 1 and the soft water tank 2. A first pH meter is installed at the inlet end of the boiler 5, and the first pH meter is connected to the ammonia pump 10. Specifically, the pH of the water before entering the boiler 5 is monitored in real time by the first pH meter, which facilitates real-time control of the amount of ammonia pump 10 delivers to the soft water tank 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, boiler 5 is connected to wastewater tank 9 via a blowdown valve. Boiler 5 is connected to a second pH meter and a conductivity meter; both the second pH meter and the conductivity meter are connected to the blowdown valve. Specifically, the water quality inside boiler 5 can be monitored in real time using the second pH meter and the conductivity meter. When one of the values reaches the discharge level, the wastewater in boiler 5 can be discharged.
[0026] In this embodiment, the boiler 5 is provided with a flue gas passage 6, and an air preheater 7 is provided in the flue gas passage 6. The air preheater 7 is connected to a blower 8, and the air outlet of the blower 8 is connected to the boiler 5.
[0027] In summary, the gas-fired boiler water quality optimization system of this embodiment delivers softened water into the softened water tank 2. The ammonia pump 10 in the ammonia tank 1 pumps the ammonia into the softened water tank 2 and mixes with the softened water to neutralize the bicarbonate ions in the softened water, making the softened water neutral. The neutralized softened water then enters the desalination unit 3 for desalination. After desalination, it enters the deaerator 4 to remove oxygen from the water and finally enters the boiler 5 to be heated into steam. The water after neutralization by ammonia and desalination by the desalination unit 3 has higher purity, significantly reducing the wear and tear on the boiler 5 equipment. Furthermore, the water condensed after the steam in the boiler 5 is utilized can be better reused.
[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
