[0020] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0021] As shown in the drawings:Figure 1 The schematic diagram of a pickling unit that efficiently utilizes steam condensate is shown in the embodiment of this utility model. Existing pickling units for hot-rolled metal strips use steam or other heating media to heat the acid solution to the process temperature via a graphite heat exchanger or other methods before pumping it into the acid tank for pickling the hot-rolled metal strip. The used acid solution flows back to the acid tank for reheating and is then circulated back to the acid tank. During the heat exchange process, the condensate formed by the steam is directly discharged. Because the steam condensate still has a temperature of approximately 90-100°C after heat exchange, direct discharge results in significant heat loss, which does not meet the requirements of energy conservation and emission reduction, leading to energy waste. To solve this technical problem, a pickling unit that efficiently utilizes steam condensate is proposed. This unit effectively utilizes and recovers the waste heat from the steam condensate, reducing the energy consumption of the pickling unit, achieving energy conservation and emission reduction, and reducing water waste. Furthermore, while ensuring normal production processes and quality, it reduces pickling production costs and improves the economic benefits for enterprises.

The steam condensate collection pipe 2 inputs condensate into the rinsing tank heating tank 3 through a second branch pipe, so as to reuse the heat energy of the condensate.
