DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 A preferred embodiment of the utility model puts forward a circulating water system of centralized air compression station. The temperature of centrifugal machine 8 and cold dryer 9 will increase during working process. The circulating water system is mainly used for cooling centrifugal machine 8 and cold dryer 9. Centrifugal machine 8 is used for generating compressed air with required pressure and flow rate. The temperature of centrifugal machine 8 will increase during this process. Cold dryer 9 is connected with centrifugal machine 8 through gas pipeline. Cold dryer 9 is used for removing water and impurities in compressed air of centrifugal machine 9 and reducing the temperature of compressed air, so as to guarantee the quality of compressed air supplied to users.
[0025] It should be noted that the circular curve at the intersection of each line in the figure indicates that the two pipelines are not connected.
[0026] The circulating water system mainly comprises first cooling tower 1, second cooling tower 2, water pool 3, first water outlet pipeline 4, second water outlet pipeline 5, first water return pipeline 6, second water return pipeline 7 and the like. The number of cooling towers is not limited, and there can be two, three or more. Two cooling towers are taken as an example in the embodiment.
[0027] Specifically, the cooling water in first cooling tower 1 and second cooling tower 2 flows into water pool 3 in the form of overflow. The cooling tower is used for cooling the returned water, so as to form cooling water.
[0028] Two water outlet pipelines 11 are connected at one end of first water outlet pipeline 4 and second water outlet pipeline 5. Water outlet pipeline 11 is connected with water pool 3. The cooling water in water pool 3 flows into first water outlet pipeline 4 and second water outlet pipeline 5 through water outlet pipeline 11.
[0029] The first water outlet pipeline 4 and the second water outlet pipeline 5 connected with two water outlet pipes 11 are respectively located in two different pump houses. The other ends of the first water outlet pipeline 4 and the second water outlet pipeline 5 are connected to the main plant house of the centralized air compression station and connected with corresponding centrifugal machines 8 (i.e. centrifugal air compressors) and cold dry machines 9. The first water return pipeline 6 and the second water return pipeline 7 correspond to the first water outlet pipeline 4 and the second water outlet pipeline 5 respectively.
[0030] On each water outlet pipe 11, a third manual butterfly valve 21, a cooling water pump 13, a check valve 14, an electric butterfly valve 15, a first manual butterfly valve 12 and a second manual butterfly valve 16 are sequentially installed along the flow direction of the cooling water. The first manual butterfly valve 12 and the cooling water pump 13 are connected by a rubber flexible connection 22. Since the cooling water pump 13 will generate a large vibration in operation, the rubber flexible connection 22 can reduce the vibration. The electric butterfly valve 15 is used for automatically controlling the opening and closing of the water outlet pipe 11. The first manual butterfly valve 12 and the second manual butterfly valve 16 are used for manually controlling the opening and closing of both ends of the water outlet pipe 11, so as to maintain and replace the components located between the first manual butterfly valve 12 and the second manual butterfly valve 16.
[0031] One of the two water outlet pipes 11 is used as a backup, so that the circulating water system can work normally when damage occurs.
[0032] The outlet water control valve of the cooling water pump 13 is changed into a combination mode of the check valve 14 + the electric butterfly valve 15, which can effectively avoid the flow loss caused by the backflow of the cooling water from the standby pump side to the water pool 3 when the pump in use works due to the poor sealing of the water control valve. In addition, after the electric butterfly valve 15 is added, the operator in the centralized control room can remotely open the valve, which completely solves the problem of large workload of manually opening the valve before starting the pump.
[0033] After the transformation, one cooling water pump 13 can be started to run at low load of the air compression station, which solves the energy loss caused by the previous operation of two pumps.
[0034] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , a filter pipe 20 is connected in the middle of the first water outlet pipeline 4 and the second water outlet pipeline 5. A self-cleaning filter 18 is installed on each filter pipe 20. Two self-cleaning filters 18 are connected in parallel on the first water outlet pipeline 4 and the second water outlet pipeline 5 through the filter pipe 20.
[0035] A third manual butterfly valve 21 is installed at the water inlet end of the filtering pipe 20 along the flow direction of the cooling water, and a check valve 14 and a third manual butterfly valve 21 are installed at the water outlet end of the filtering pipe 20 in sequence. Normally, the third manual butterfly valves 21 at both ends of the filtering pipe 20 are in the open state, so that the cooling water first enters the self-cleaning filter 18, is filtered by the self-cleaning filter 18, and the check valve 14 prevents backflow of water.
[0036] A third manual butterfly valve 21 is installed between the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the filtering pipe 20 on the first water outlet pipe 11 and the second water outlet pipe 11. In the normal working state of the self-cleaning filter 18, the third manual butterfly valve 21 is in the closed state, so that the cooling water can flow into the self-cleaning filter 18 along the filtering channel, and then reflows into the first water outlet pipe 11 and the second water outlet pipe 11. When the self-cleaning filter 18 is damaged, the third manual butterfly valve 21 can be opened, and the third manual butterfly valves 21 at the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the filtering pipe 20 are closed, so as to repair or replace the self-cleaning filter 18.
[0037] In this embodiment, the first water outlet pipe 4 is divided into two branches, which flow into two centrifuges 8 respectively, and a third manual butterfly valve 21 controlled by a total controller is installed on each branch to control the on-off of the respective branch.
[0038] In other technical solutions, multiple centrifuges 8 can be connected in parallel on each branch of the first water outlet pipe 4.
[0039] As shown in Figure 4 The centrifuge 8 has three air coolers and an oil cooler. Each air cooler and the oil cooler has a water inlet and a water outlet. Each branch is connected to a corresponding water outlet branch pipe 10, and the water outlet branch pipe 10 is connected to the water inlets of the three air coolers and the water inlet of the oil cooler through four third manual butterfly valves 21, and the third manual butterfly valves 21 are used to control the water balance of the coolers and cut off the water source during maintenance.
[0040] A total manual knife gate valve 19 is installed on each water outlet branch pipe 10 to control the total water inlet of the water outlet branch pipe 10.
[0041] One end of the first water return pipe 6 is connected to the water inlet of the cooling tower, and the other end is connected to the centrifuge 8. Correspondingly, a water return branch pipe 17 is also connected to the first water return pipe 6, and the water return branch pipe 17 is connected to the water outlets of the three air coolers and the water outlet of the oil cooler through four third manual butterfly valves 21, and the third manual butterfly valves 21 are used to control the water outlet of each machine.
[0042] An electric butterfly valve 15 is installed on each return water branch pipe 17 to control the on-off of the cooling water of the single-cylinder centrifuge 8.
[0043] As shown in Figure 1 the second water outlet pipeline 5 is connected with the second cooling tower 2 at one end and is also connected with a water outlet branch pipe 10 at the other end, which is connected with a centrifuge 8, and the connection mode is consistent with the description of the first water outlet pipeline 4.
[0044] The return water branch pipe 17 is connected with the second return water pipeline 7, which is connected with the water outlet of the corresponding centrifuge 8, and the connection mode is consistent with the description of the first water outlet pipeline 4. At the same time, the electric butterfly valve 15 is installed on the return water branch pipe 17 to automatically control the water outlet flow of the centrifuge 8.
[0045] The main pipeline of the second water outlet pipeline 5 is connected with the water inlet of the cold dryer 9, and a gate valve is installed at the water inlet of the cold dryer 9. The second return water pipeline 7 is connected with the water outlet of the cold dryer 9, and an electric butterfly valve 15 is installed at the water outlet of the cold dryer 9, which can remotely control the on-off of the cooling water of the cold dryer 9 to balance the water consumption of the centrifuge 8.
[0046] In other technical solutions, multiple cold dryers 9 can also be provided, and the multiple cold dryers 9 are connected in parallel on the second water outlet pipeline 5 and the second return water pipeline 7.
[0047] The air cooler and oil cooler in the centrifuge are connected with cooling branch pipes made of metal hoses with a wrench type quick connector. When the cooler core is extracted, the wrench type connector can be directly pulled out to realize the core extraction and maintenance work. Before the transformation, the cooler core extraction work needs to remove many hard pipes, which is time-consuming and affects the maintenance efficiency. After the transformation, the maintenance time is greatly saved.
[0048] As shown in Figure 4 the first water outlet pipeline 4 is connected with the second water outlet pipeline 5 through the connecting pipeline 23, and the first water outlet pipeline 4 is connected with the second water outlet pipeline 5 through the connecting pipeline 23, so that they are connected in a cycle to realize water circulation complementation. In this way, the inlet and return water main pipes in the two water pump houses are connected in a cycle, and when the air compression station is under low load, a single cooling water pump 13 can be started to meet the production needs, solving the problem of energy waste caused by starting two cooling water pumps 13.
[0049] In specific work, the water in the first cooling tower 1 and the second cooling tower 2 flows into the water pool 3, then the cooling water in the water pool 3 is pumped into the first water outlet pipeline 4 and the second water outlet pipeline 5 by the cooling water pump 13, then flows through the self-cleaning filter 18, is filtered, and then flows to the corresponding centrifugal machine 8 and the cold dryer 9 to cool them, and the cooled backwater flows to the first cooling tower 1 and the second cooling tower 2 through the first backwater pipeline 6 and the second backwater pipeline 7. Since the first water outlet pipeline 4 and the second water outlet pipeline 5 are communicated, the cooling water in different water inlet pipelines also flows between each other, and the first backwater pipeline 6 and the second backwater pipeline 7 are communicated, so the backwater in different backwater pipelines also flows between each other, and finally all flows to the first cooling tower 1 and the second cooling tower 2.
[0050] The above technical scheme only embodies the preferred technical scheme of the technical scheme of the utility model, and some changes made by the person skilled in the art to some parts also embody the principle of the utility model and belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
