Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diesel engine flue gas treatment technology, and in particular to a diesel engine flue gas temperature control and elimination system. Background Technology

[0002] Underground engineering projects typically require concealed ventilation. Diesel generators, as crucial power supply equipment in underground projects, generate large amounts of high-temperature flue gas and heat that must be emitted. Treating this flue gas for smoke suppression and temperature control presents a significant technical challenge. Currently, a common method is to use internally stored water for spraying to suppress smoke and lower temperatures. However, while the internal water temperature is generally stable throughout the year, resulting in a stable flue gas temperature, the temperature difference between the treated flue gas and the external environment increases when external temperatures fluctuate, especially during the cold winter months. This not only fails to meet temperature emission requirements but may also produce "white smoke" at the exhaust outlet, impacting the external environment and exposing the location of the exhaust vent. Furthermore, directly using internal water for spraying results in enormous cooling water consumption, leading to high construction and operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0024] A diesel engine flue gas temperature control and elimination system includes a diesel engine 1, a heat exhaust cooling tower 4, and a PLC control cabinet. The diesel engine 1 is connected to a flue gas spray tower 3 through a flue gas passage 2. A spray water passage 32 is provided between the drain port and the spray pipe of the flue gas spray tower 3. A cooling water passage 42 is provided between the outlet and return port of the heat exhaust cooling tower 4. A first heat exchanger 5 and a second heat exchanger 6 are installed on the cooling water passage 42. The heat exhaust cooling tower 4 is connected to an external water source.

[0025] The exhaust port of the diesel engine 1 is connected to the inlet of the flue gas spray tower 3 through the flue gas passage 2. The flue gas spray tower 3 is equipped with an exhaust port 31 for discharging the treated flue gas.

[0026] An overflow pipe 36 is installed near the bottom of the flue gas spray tower 3. When the liquid level in the flue gas spray tower 3 reaches a certain height, the water in the flue gas spray tower 3 can be discharged through the overflow pipe 36 to avoid the water level in the flue gas spray tower 3 being too high and affecting the smoke elimination effect.

[0027] The heat dissipation cooling tower 4 is connected to an external water source through a water supply pipe 41. The external water source is surface water, groundwater, or municipal water with a water temperature of 10-20℃.

[0028] A water supply pump 71 and a water supply valve 81 are installed on the water supply pipe 41, and the water supply pump 71 and the water supply valve 81 are electrically connected to the PLC control cabinet. In this embodiment, the water supply operation can be started at a time by the PLC controller.

[0029] Preferably, a level gauge electrically connected to a PLC controller is installed inside the heat dissipation cooling tower 4. The PLC controller controls the opening of the water supply pump 71 and the water supply valve 81 through the level data provided by the level gauge, so as to introduce water from an external water source into the heat dissipation cooling tower 4.

[0030] The heat dissipation cooling tower 4 is equipped with an air inlet 43 and an air outlet 44. Outdoor fresh air enters through the air inlet 43 of the heat dissipation cooling tower 4 and is discharged outside the project through the air outlet 44 of the heat dissipation cooling tower 4.

[0031] The first heat exchanger 5 is a flue gas-water shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The cooling water inlet of the first heat exchanger 5 is connected to the cooling water outlet of the second heat exchanger 6, and the cooling water outlet of the first heat exchanger 5 is connected to the return port of the exhaust cooling tower 4.

[0032] The second heat exchanger 6 is a water-to-water plate heat exchanger. The cooling water inlet of the second heat exchanger 6 is connected to the liquid outlet of the exhaust cooling tower 4, and the cooling water outlet of the second heat exchanger 6 is connected to the cooling water inlet of the first heat exchanger 5.

[0033] The cooling water circuit 42 is equipped with a cooling water circulation pump 72 and a cooling water valve 82 that are electrically connected to the PLC controller; the spray water circuit 32 is equipped with a spray water circulation pump 73 and a spray water valve 83 that are electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0034] A pH meter 33, which is electrically connected to the PLC controller, is installed on the spray water path 32 near the drain port of the flue gas spray tower 3.

[0035] The pH meter 33 is located away from the drain outlet of the flue gas spray tower 3. The spray water path 32 is connected to the dosing device 35 through the dosing pipeline 34. The dosing pipeline 34 is equipped with a dosing pump 74 and a dosing valve 84 that are electrically connected to the PLC control cabinet.

[0036] In this embodiment, the dosing device 35 contains a mixed alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, ammonia, sodium hypochlorite, and a transition metal catalyst.

[0037] The PLC control cabinet controls the opening and closing of the dosing pump 74 and the dosing valve 84 based on the data fed back from the pH meter 33, thereby achieving the purpose of dosing control.

[0038] pH meter 33 monitors the pH value of the spray water at the drain outlet of flue gas spray tower 3 in real time. When the pH value drops to the specified range, the dosing process is started. The dosing device 35 adds alkaline solution to the spray water path 32 through the dosing pump 74 until the pH value of the spray water monitored by pH meter 33 meets the requirements.

[0039] The water supply pipe 41, cooling water circuit 42 and spray water circuit 32 are respectively equipped with sensors that are electrically connected to the PLC control cabinet. In this embodiment, the sensors are pressure and temperature sensors.

[0040] The water supply pump 71, cooling water circulation pump 72, spray water circulation pump 73, and dosing pump 74 are used to drive the flow of the medium in the pipeline and provide power for the medium in the pipeline. The water supply valve 81, cooling water valve 82, spray water valve 83, and dosing valve 84 are used to control the opening and closing of the pipeline and to regulate the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline. The sensor is used to detect the pressure and temperature of the medium in the pipeline and output the pressure data and temperature data of the medium in each pipeline to the PLC control cabinet.

[0041] The high-temperature flue gas (310-330℃) generated by diesel engine 1 enters the flue gas passage 2. The first heat exchanger 5 performs preliminary cooling on the flue gas discharged from diesel engine 1 in the flue gas passage 2, and the flue gas is cooled to medium-temperature flue gas (40-50℃). The medium-temperature flue gas enters the flue gas spray tower 3. The spray water path 32 performs heat exchange and cooling through the second heat exchanger 6. The flue gas spray tower 3 performs secondary cooling and flue gas spraying and elimination work on the flue gas. The particles in the flue gas are purified by spraying, and the flue gas temperature is finally reduced to 15-40℃ (lower temperature in winter and higher temperature in summer). The flue gas is discharged into the external ambient air through the exhaust port 31 of the flue gas spray tower 3. The high-temperature flue gas generated by diesel engine 1 has completed the temperature control and elimination treatment.

[0042] The exhaust cooling tower 4 prepares cooling water at 5-30℃ (lower in winter, higher in summer) according to the different wet-bulb temperatures of the outdoor fresh air. Driven by the cooling water circulation pump 72, the cooling water in the exhaust cooling tower 4 enters the cooling water path 42 through the liquid outlet and flows into the second heat exchanger 6. After the second heat exchanger 6 exchanges heat and cools the spray water path 32 of the flue gas spray tower 3, the temperature rises to 14-39℃. The medium in the spray water path 32 at the bottom of the flue gas spray tower 3 is cooled to 6-31℃. The medium in the spray water path 32 is lifted by the spray water circulation pump 73 to the spray pipe at the top of the flue gas spray tower 3 for flue gas spraying. The cooling water flowing out of the second heat exchanger 6 is transported to the first heat exchanger 5. The first heat exchanger 5 cools the high-temperature flue gas output by the diesel engine 1 in the flue gas passage 2, and the water temperature is further increased to 25-50℃. Finally, it enters the exhaust cooling tower 4 through the liquid return port for evaporation and cooling down to 5-30℃. The water system then completes a heating and cooling cycle.

[0043] The PLC controller inside the control cabinet senses the fluctuations in cooling water temperature caused by changes in the operating power of diesel engine 1 or the inlet air temperature of exhaust cooling tower 4 in real time based on pressure and temperature sensors. It further improves the operating efficiency of the system and controls the final treatment temperature of flue gas by adjusting the water volume of the cooling water system.

[0044] Because the flue gas has high humidity and high water content, the flue gas spray tower 3 will not only not consume water during operation, but will also continuously condense water and discharge it through the overflow pipe 36.

[0045] The water consumption of this system is only 1% of that of the exhaust cooling tower 4, which is about 1% of its circulating water volume. The system has excellent water-saving performance.

[0046] This invention utilizes a low-temperature cooling water prepared by a heat dissipation cooling tower and a flue gas spray tower to treat diesel engine exhaust gas for smoke elimination and temperature control. The base temperature of the low-temperature cooling water is the external water source temperature. When the external air temperature is high, the prepared cooling water temperature is high, and the final treated exhaust gas temperature is also high. Conversely, when the external air temperature is low, the prepared cooling water temperature is low, and the final treated exhaust gas temperature is also low. This reduces the temperature difference between the treated exhaust gas and the external environment, ensuring that the temperature difference remains within the required range. This avoids white smoke emissions from the exhaust outlet that could affect the external environment and expose the exhaust outlet location. The system's water consumption is only the evaporation rate of the heat dissipation cooling tower, resulting in minimal cooling water consumption and significantly reducing construction investment and operating costs.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
