Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polyester production, specifically to a demineralized water cooling circulation device for polyester waste heat power generation. Background Technology

[0002] ORC waste heat power generation units are devices that recover and utilize the low-temperature waste heat from polyester esterification steam, converting thermal energy into electrical energy. Using ORC turbine generator sets enables the recovery of low-temperature heat energy, improving energy utilization efficiency, saving energy, and reducing energy waste. The ORC waste heat power generation unit includes a heat exchanger, generator set, working fluid pump, and condenser. Esterification steam heats the organic working fluid in the evaporator of the ORC generator set. The heated organic working fluid forms steam at a certain pressure, driving the turbine to perform work and powering the generator. After performing work, the organic working fluid enters the condenser and is condensed into a liquid state by circulating cooling water. The liquid working fluid is then pressurized by the working fluid pump and sent through the evaporator preheating section to the flooded evaporation section.

[0003] In the condenser of an ORC waste heat power generation unit, the heat exchange between the organic working fluid vapor and the cooling water is transferred through the walls of the cooling water pipes. The surface smoothness and heat transfer performance of the copper pipes directly affect the power generation capacity of the generator set. However, in existing technologies, pure water is used as the cooling water in the condenser. The calcium and magnesium ions in the water easily cause scale formation on the inner walls of the copper pipes, affecting their heat transfer performance. Cleaning the copper pipes usually requires shutdown, which also affects the continuous operation and power generation of the ORC system. To prevent scale formation on the copper pipes, demineralized water is usually used as the cooling medium. However, although demineralized water has a low salt content, it still contains certain minerals and impurities, and direct introduction may still lead to scale formation on the inner walls of the condenser. Furthermore, the demineralized water in the condenser absorbs a large amount of heat and cannot be reused, resulting in resource waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a demineralized water cooling circulation device for polyester waste heat power generation, which not only solves the problem of easy scaling in the condenser but also recycles the demineralized water.

[0006] A demineralized water cooling circulation device for polyester waste heat power generation includes a demineralized water high-level tank, a water quality processor, a demineralized water circulation pump, a heat exchanger, and a cooling medium mechanism.

The inlets of the first and second demineralized water circulation pumps are connected to the demineralized water high-level tank through the second water quality processor, and the outlets of the first and second demineralized water circulation pumps are connected to the demineralized water inlet of the heat exchanger.

[0011] Preferably, the demineralized water outlet of the first heat exchanger is connected to the water inlet of the condenser.

[0016] This utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects compared to the prior art:

[0017] (1) This utility model discloses a demineralized water cooling circulation device for polyester waste heat power generation. The demineralized water is used as the cooling medium of the condenser, which reduces the scaling of the medium on the copper tubes and greatly reduces the frequency of disassembly and cleaning of the condenser copper tubes. The cooling circulation device provides direct heat exchange to the condenser, realizes the recycling of demineralized water, ensures the continuity and stability of the cooling water supply, and avoids the normal operation of the refrigeration system due to water pressure fluctuations. A water quality processor is set in the circulation device to further reduce the salt content of the demineralized water and reduce the possibility of scaling. The demineralized water is repeatedly used in the device, and the salt concentration in the water will gradually decrease as the circulation proceeds.

[0018] (2) The present invention is equipped with a high-level demineralized water tank to replenish the water loss of the demineralized water circulation pipeline and ensure that the mineral content in the cooling circulation device is kept at a low level.

[0019] (3) The device disclosed in this utility model effectively isolates the descaling agent, organic acid, reverse osmosis antiscaling agent and other drugs that need to be added during online addition and generator shutdown cleaning, avoiding corrosion of the condenser copper tube and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the power generation device.

[0020] (4) This utility model is equipped with three plate heat exchangers. When the condenser inlet water temperature is high due to scaling of the plate heat exchangers, only the plate heat exchangers need to be switched and cleaned. There is no need to shut down the generator for cleaning, so as to avoid unnecessary waste of equipment and steam resources. In addition, the three plate heat exchangers can provide a certain degree of redundancy to ensure that the system can still operate when one of the plate heat exchangers fails.

The embodiments cannot be described one by one here, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

The cold medium mechanism 6 includes a cooling tower 61 and a cold medium circulation pump 62. The cold medium circulation pump 62 includes a first cold medium circulation pump 621, a second cold medium circulation pump 622, and a third cold medium circulation pump 623.

[0028] The demineralized water high-level tank 1 is located at a high point on the roof. The outlet of the demineralized water high-level tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 4 through the first water quality processor 21. A demineralized water circulation pump 3 and a heat exchanger 5 are installed below it. The demineralized water circulation pump 3 includes a first demineralized water circulation pump 31 and a second demineralized water circulation pump 32. The heat exchanger 5 includes a first heat exchanger 51, a second heat exchanger 52 and a third heat exchanger 53. The heat exchanger 5 is a plate heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger 51, the second heat exchanger 52 and the third heat exchanger 53 are interconnected.

[0029] The other end of the outlet of the demineralized water high-level tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the first demineralized water circulation pump 31 and the second demineralized water circulation pump 32 through the second water quality processor 22; the outlets of the first demineralized water circulation pump 31 and the second demineralized water circulation pump 32 are connected to the demineralized water inlet of the heat exchanger 5. This is used to balance and replenish the water loss in the demineralized water circulation pipeline, and the water quality processor 2 further removes the residual salt in the demineralized water.

[0030] The condenser 4 is located above the heat exchanger 5, and the demineralized water outlet of the first heat exchanger 51 is connected to the water inlet of the condenser 4; a demineralized water cooling circulation device is used to provide direct heat exchange for the condenser 4.

[0031] The cold medium mechanism 6 is located to the right of the heat exchanger 5, and the cooling tower 61 is located above the cooling medium circulation pump. The outlet of the cooling tower 61 is connected to the cold medium inlet of the first heat exchanger 51, the second heat exchanger 52 and the third heat exchanger 53 respectively. The cold medium outlets of the first heat exchanger 51, the second heat exchanger 52 and the third heat exchanger 53 are connected to the outlet of the cooling tower 61 through the cold medium circulation pump 62.

[0032] The process is as follows:

[0033] The demineralized water in condenser 4 is heated by exchanging heat with the organic working medium during the polyester waste heat power generation process. The heated demineralized water is then transported to the cooling port of heat exchanger 5 through the outlet of condenser 4 for cooling. The heated demineralized water is then exchanged with the cold medium in the three-layer plate heat exchanger 5. The cooled demineralized water is then transported back to the inlet of condenser 4. Meanwhile, the cold medium heated in the plate heat exchanger 5 is transported to the cooling tower 61 by the cold medium circulation pump 62 for cooling. The cooled cold medium is then transported back to heat exchanger 5, thus achieving the recycling of demineralized water and cold medium.

[0034] The demineralized water high-level tank 1 further removes salt through the second water quality processor 22, and then the demineralized water is pressurized by the demineralized water circulation pump 3 and sent to the third heat exchanger 53 to replenish the water loss in the demineralized water circulation pipeline.
