[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petrochemical technology, and in particular to a condensate recovery device for a turbine steam seal cooler in a slurry bed residue oil hydrogenation unit. Background Technology

[0002] Slurry bed residue hydrotreating units use low-quality vacuum residue and catalytic cracking slurry as feedstocks. Through hydrocracking, they produce liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), chemical raw materials, heavy naphtha, diesel, and vacuum wax oil. They can convert low-value-added products such as asphalt and coke into high-value-added clean oil products such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel, significantly increasing light oil yield and maximizing the utilization of petroleum resources. The steam turbine plays a crucial role in the slurry bed residue hydrotreating unit. Using steam as the working medium, steam leakage occurs at the steam seal during operation, resulting in energy waste. The leaked steam, after cooling, precipitates a large amount of condensate. Existing slurry bed residue hydrotreating units either do not treat the precipitated condensate or have low efficiency in condensate recovery, leading to water waste and increased production costs.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a condensate recovery device for the turbine steam seal cooler in a slurry bed residue oil hydrotreating unit to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0020] To make the technical means, technical features, utility model purpose and technical effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a condensate recovery device for a steam turbine steam seal cooler in a slurry bed residue oil hydrogenation unit is disclosed. This utility model is used in conjunction with a steam turbine 1. The steam turbine 1 adapted to this utility model is a back-pressure steam turbine 1, and its working medium is steam. The steam driving the steam turbine 1 has a steam pressure higher than atmospheric pressure after it has done work in the steam turbine 1. This utility model includes a steam seal ejector 2, a steam seal cooler 3, and a condensate recovery mechanism. The steam seal cooler 3 is connected to the steam turbine 1 through a steam seal leakage ejection pipe 301. Specifically, the steam seal leakage ejection pipe 301 is divided into two lines and connected to the steam seal teeth 101 on both sides of the steam turbine 1 to facilitate the extraction of steam leaking from the steam seal teeth 101 on both sides.

[0022] One inlet of the steam seal ejector 2 is connected to the steam seal cooler 3 via the medium gas inlet pipe 202. The other inlet of the steam seal ejector 2 is connected to the working steam pipe 201. The working medium of the steam seal ejector 2 is steam. An external steam source is connected to the steam seal ejector 2 via the working steam pipe 201 to supply steam to the steam seal ejector 2. The steam seal ejector 2 adopts a nozzle structure, which accelerates the steam in the narrow channel, resulting in a significant increase in steam velocity. According to Bernoulli's principle, the increase in velocity will cause the pressure of the steam at the nozzle outlet to decrease, thus forming a negative pressure. The negative pressure draws the steam leaking from the steam seal tooth 101 into the steam seal cooler 3 for cooling through the medium gas inlet pipe 202 and the steam seal leakage ejection pipe 301. The condensate formed by cooling enters the condensate recovery mechanism for recycling and reuse.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the condensate recovery mechanism includes a water collection tank 4 and a booster pump 401. The water collection tank 4 is made of stainless steel and is a closed, atmospheric pressure structure, which effectively prevents impurities in the air from entering the water collection tank 4 and contaminating the condensate. A water tank baffle 405 is welded to the bottom surface inside the water collection tank 4, dividing the interior of the water collection tank 4 into a water seal chamber. A water supply pipe 406 is connected to the side wall of the water collection tank 4 near the water seal chamber for injecting clean water into the water seal chamber of the water collection tank 4. The height of the water tank baffle 405 is determined according to the amount of clean water required to establish the water seal. The steam seal cooler 3 is connected to the water collection tank through steam seal drain pipe 1 302 and steam seal drain pipe 2 303. The tank 4 is connected, and the lower end of the steam seal drain pipe 302 extends towards the bottom of the water collection tank 4, inserts into the water seal chamber and is located below the water tank partition 405, that is, the lower end face of the steam seal drain pipe 302 is lower than the upper end face of the water tank partition 405, which is used to establish a water seal. The steam seal drain pipe 303 is inserted into the water collection tank 4, and the lower end face of the steam seal drain pipe 303 is higher than the lower end face of the steam seal drain pipe 302, which is used for the discharge of condensate from the steam seal cooler 3 to the water collection tank 4. A level gauge 404 is installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank 4. The level gauge 404 is connected to the inside of the water collection tank 4 and is used to indicate the liquid level in the water collection tank 4. The booster pump 401 is intermittently turned on according to the indication of the level gauge 404.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a pump inlet pipe 402 connects the inlet of the booster pump 401 to the water collection tank 4. A pump inlet valve 407 and a pump inlet filter 408 are sequentially installed on the pump inlet pipe 402. A pump outlet pipe 403 connects to the outlet of the booster pump 401. A pump outlet check valve 410, a pump outlet valve 411, and a pump outlet regulating valve 412 are sequentially installed on the pump outlet pipe 403. By turning on the booster pump 401, the condensate collected in the water collection tank 4 is pressurized and then flows through the pump outlet pipe. 403 is discharged to other process stages within the public works demineralized water system. A pump inlet venting pipe is also connected to the pump inlet pipe 402. The pump inlet venting pipe is connected to the pump inlet pipe 402 between the pump inlet valve 407 and the pump inlet filter 408. A pump inlet venting valve 409 is installed on the pump inlet venting pipe. By opening the pump inlet valve 407 and the pump inlet venting valve 409, the water in the water collection tank 4 is vented, which facilitates related operations inside the water collection tank 4.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, a non-condensable gas discharge pipe 204 is installed on the steam seal cooler 3. A mixed gas discharge pipe 203 is connected between the outlet of the steam seal ejector 2 and the steam seal cooler 3. The gas that is not completely condensed in the first stage mixes with the steam drawn in by the steam seal leakage ejector pipe 301 and then re-enters the steam seal ejector 2 through the medium gas inlet pipe 202. After that, it re-enters the steam seal cooler 3 through the mixed gas discharge pipe 203 for secondary cooling. The gas that cannot be condensed is discharged to the outside of the steam seal cooler 3 through the non-condensable gas discharge pipe 204 for unified recycling.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the steam seal cooler 3 is equipped with a circulating water inlet pipe 304 and a circulating water outlet pipe 305. Cooling water enters the interior of the steam seal cooler 3 through the circulating water inlet pipe 304 to exchange heat with steam, cools the steam to condense water, and the cooled water after heat exchange is discharged from the steam seal cooler 3 through the circulating water outlet pipe 305 for recycling.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] In use, clean water is injected into the water collection tank 4 through the water supply pipe 406 until the water tank partition 405 is reached, establishing a water seal in the steam seal cooler 3 to prevent air from entering the steam seal cooler 3 and causing it to malfunction. The steam turbine 1 is started, and steam is supplied to the steam seal ejector 2 through the working steam pipe 201, causing the steam seal ejector 2 to establish a negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, the steam leaking from the steam seal teeth 101 on both sides of the steam turbine 1 is drawn into the steam seal cooler 3 through the steam seal leakage ejection pipe 301. After heat exchange with the circulating cooling water entering the steam seal cooler 3, condensate is precipitated. The precipitated condensate is discharged into the water collection tank 4 through the steam seal drain pipe 1 302 and the steam seal drain pipe 2 303. According to the indication of the level gauge 404 on the water collection tank 4, the booster pump 401 is intermittently turned on to discharge the condensate collected in the water collection tank 4 to other process stages for use.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the claims of this utility model should fall within the technical scope of this utility model.
