Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a waste heat recovery and reuse system for nylon chip production. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of nylon chips involves the release of a significant amount of heat and the heating of various media, such as steam from the reactor, condensate from the extraction water recovery process, and the cooling of the gaseous heat medium using fans. This heat is directly released into wastewater and the atmosphere, representing a waste of resources. Furthermore, the demineralized water used in the production process needs to be heated to approximately 90 degrees Celsius using steam.

[0003] Existing technologies utilize secondary energy source steam for heating, but the conversion efficiency of secondary energy is low, resulting in energy waste. Furthermore, during the production of nylon chips, steam is emitted from the reactor, and the condensate from the extraction water recovery process involves direct energy waste during the temperature regulation of the gaseous heat medium. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a waste heat recovery and reuse system for nylon chip production. By utilizing the demineralized water replenishment process in the production process, the demineralized water at room temperature is transported to heat exchangers installed in order of decreasing exhaust temperature to recover the exhaust waste heat. This changes the original method of regulating the temperature of the gaseous heat medium by a fan. After recovering the waste heat, temperature regulation and control are used to stabilize the temperature of the demineralized water within the required range.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a waste heat recovery and reuse system for nylon chip production, comprising: a demineralized water storage tank, a distribution pump, a first valve, a second valve, a three-way valve, a third valve, a fourth valve, a plate heat exchanger, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, a diaphragm heat exchanger, a first temperature transmitter, a level transmitter, a kettle reboiler, a demineralized water transfer pump, and a controller.

[0006] The demineralized water storage tank is connected to one end of the first valve, one end of the second valve, and the inlet of the plate heat exchanger via a distribution pump. The outlet of the plate heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The outlet of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the diaphragm heat exchanger and one end of the third valve via a three-way valve. The outlet of the diaphragm heat exchanger is connected to one end of the third valve. The plate heat exchanger is used to recover the heat from the extraction of water by caprolactam. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used to recover the heat from the process steam exhaust pipe of the reactor. The diaphragm heat exchanger is used to recover the heat from the gaseous heat transfer medium used for insulation in the reactor jacket.

[0007] The reboiler is equipped with a low-pressure steam inlet, a steam condensate outlet, a demineralized water inlet, and a demineralized water outlet; the other ends of the first valve, the second valve, and the third valve are all connected to the demineralized water inlet, and the demineralized water outlet is connected to the demineralized water delivery pump; the first temperature transmitter is used to measure the temperature of the demineralized water at the demineralized water outlet; a fourth valve is provided at the low-pressure steam inlet; and the level transmitter is located inside the reboiler.

[0008] The controller is electrically connected to the first valve, the third valve, the fourth valve, the level transmitter, the first temperature transmitter, the distribution pump, and the demineralized water transfer pump, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a second temperature transmitter. The diaphragm heat exchanger is provided with a heat medium outlet, and the second temperature transmitter is located at the heat medium outlet. The controller is electrically connected to the second temperature transmitter and the three-way valve.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a waste heat recovery and reuse system for nylon chip production. The demineralized water is exchanged with the extraction water recovery system and other condensate with high residual heat in the nylon chip production process. The temperature is further increased by replacing the heat exchanger in the original gaseous heat medium regulation system that relies on fans to cool and dissipate heat. This reduces the use of steam energy, maximizes the utilization of waste heat, increases the energy utilization rate of production, and reduces production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the principle of a waste heat recovery and reuse system for nylon chip production according to this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0013] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a waste heat recovery and reuse system for nylon chip production, comprising: a demineralized water storage tank 101, a distribution pump 102, a first valve 103, a second valve 104, a three-way valve 105, a third valve 106, a fourth valve 107, a plate heat exchanger 108, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger 109, a diaphragm heat exchanger 110, a first temperature transmitter 111, a level transmitter 112, a kettle reboiler 113, a demineralized water transfer pump 114, and a controller (not shown in the figure). The controller is a microcontroller or a computer and can be purchased on the market.

[0014] The demineralized water storage tank 101 is connected to one end of the first valve 103, one end of the second valve 104, and the inlet of the plate heat exchanger 108 via a distribution pump 102. The outlet of the plate heat exchanger 108 is connected to the inlet of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 109. The outlet of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 109 is connected to the inlet of the diaphragm heat exchanger 110 and one end of the third valve 106 via a three-way valve 105. The outlet of the diaphragm heat exchanger 110 is connected to one end of the third valve 106. The plate heat exchanger 108 is used to recover the heat from caprolactam extraction of water; the tube heat exchanger 109 is used to recover the heat from the steam exhaust pipe of the reactor process; the baffle heat exchanger 110 is used to recover the heat from the gaseous heat medium in the reactor jacket insulation, collecting the heat of the gaseous heat medium (HVP) so that cooling by a fan is no longer required when using the gaseous heat medium (HVP); the plate heat exchanger 108 and the tube heat exchanger 109 can collect waste heat from other systems for heating the demineralized water;

[0015] The reboiler 113 is provided with a low-pressure steam inlet 1131, a steam condensate outlet 1132, a demineralized water inlet 1133, and a demineralized water outlet 1134. The other ends of the first valve 103, the second valve 104, and the third valve 106 are all connected to the demineralized water inlet 1133. The demineralized water outlet 1134 is connected to the demineralized water transfer pump 114. The first temperature transmitter 111 is used to measure the temperature of the demineralized water at the demineralized water outlet 1134. A fourth valve 107 is provided at the low-pressure steam inlet 1131. The level transmitter 112 is located inside the reboiler 113. The level transmitter 112 obtains the liquid level inside the reboiler 113. When the level is too high or too low, the opening degree of the third valve 106 and the first valve 103 can be controlled by the controller to control the liquid level.

[0016] The controller is electrically connected to the first valve 103, the third valve 106, the fourth valve 107, the level transmitter 112, the first temperature transmitter 111, the distribution pump 102, and the demineralized water transfer pump 114.

[0017] When the temperature of the first temperature transmitter 111 is higher than the required temperature, the second valve 104 is opened, allowing low-temperature demineralized water to be added to the reboiler 113, thus lowering the temperature inside the reboiler 113. If the temperature of the first temperature transmitter 111 is lower than the required temperature, the controller controls the fourth valve 107 to supplement heating with steam. The demineralized water heated to the set temperature is then transported to the required location via the demineralized water transfer pump 114. Low-pressure steam SLP enters the reboiler 113 through the low-pressure steam inlet 1131 to heat the demineralized water. As the temperature drops, condensate is formed and discharged from the steam condensate (SCL) outlet 1132.

[0018] In this embodiment, preferably, a second temperature transmitter 115 is also included. The partition heat exchanger 110 is provided with a heat medium outlet 1101. The second temperature transmitter 115 is located at the heat medium outlet 1101. The controller is electrically connected to the second temperature transmitter 115 and the three-way valve 105. The temperature of the heat medium at the heat medium outlet 1101 is obtained through the second temperature transmitter 115. Then, the controller adjusts the three-way valve 105 to control the temperature of the gaseous heat medium passing through the partition heat exchanger 110, thereby obtaining the required temperature.
