[0030] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a low-quality steam self-balancing system, which includes a saturated steam main pipeline 1, on which a first waste heat furnace, a second waste heat furnace, a third waste heat furnace, and a steam supply end 8 for supplying steam to users are provided, and a heat accumulator 11 is provided between the saturated steam main pipeline 1 and the first waste heat furnace; and a superheated steam main pipeline 2, which is connected to the saturated steam main pipeline 1 through a saturated steam connecting pipe 3 and a superheated steam connecting pipe 4, and a fourth waste heat furnace and a generator set are provided on the superheated steam main pipeline 2.
[0031] In order to achieve the recovery of low-quality steam for heating, cooling and power generation, and to achieve self-balance between the production and use of low-quality steam, the design operating pressure of superheated steam main network 2 and saturated steam main network 1 should be the same, and fluctuations are allowed within a certain range.
[0032] By constructing a saturated steam main pipeline 1, the saturated steam from the converter, heating furnace, etc. is transported to the saturated steam main pipeline 1 and then distributed to various users through the saturated steam main pipeline 1. A steam accumulator 11 is installed on the converter saturated steam output pipeline to stabilize the flow rate, pressure and temperature of the converter saturated steam output.
[0033] A superheated steam main pipeline 2 is constructed to transport superheated steam from sintering and other processes to the superheated steam main pipeline 2, and then distribute it to the steam turbine generator set 10 through the superheated steam main pipeline 2.
[0034] The saturated steam connection pipe 3 is equipped with a saturated steam connection valve 23 to allow it to open or close; the superheated steam connection pipe 4 is equipped with a superheated steam connection valve 24 to allow it to open or close.
[0035] Construct a saturated steam main pipeline 1 to a superheated steam connecting pipeline 4. When the steam pressure in the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is high, saturated steam will be transported to the superheated steam main pipeline 2.
[0036] Construct a superheated steam main pipeline 2 to a saturated steam connecting pipeline 3. When the steam pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is low, superheated steam will be transported to the saturated steam main pipeline 1.
[0037] A saturated steam connection valve 23 is installed on the saturated steam connection pipeline 3. When the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is high to the preset pressure range, the saturated steam connection valve 23 is automatically opened to deliver saturated steam to the superheated steam main pipeline 2. When the saturated steam pressure is lower than the preset value, the saturated steam connection valve 23 is automatically closed.
[0038] A superheated steam connection valve 24 is installed on the superheated steam connection pipeline 4. When the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is lower than the preset pressure range, the superheated steam connection valve 24 is automatically opened to deliver superheated steam to the saturated steam main pipeline 1. When the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is higher than the preset value, the superheated steam connection valve 24 is automatically closed.
[0039] In some specific embodiments, the first waste heat furnace, the second waste heat furnace, and the third waste heat furnace are respectively provided with steam venting doors 12. The steam venting doors 12 are used to discharge excess steam and control steam pressure.
[0040] Based on the above embodiments, a steam vent 12 is provided on the fourth waste heat furnace.
[0041] In some specific embodiments, the generator set is a steam turbine generator set 10. The steam turbine generator set 10 can reasonably achieve energy quality matching, utilize thermal energy according to quality, improve energy conversion efficiency, convert high-grade thermal energy into electrical energy, and at the same time utilize the waste heat after power generation to meet the demand for low-grade energy, thus realizing the cascade utilization of energy.
[0042] The steam turbine generator set 10 can consume all superheated steam and the maximum amount of saturated steam released throughout the year.
[0043] The steam turbine generator set 10 has a load regulation capacity of 30% to 110%.
[0044] The steam turbine generator set 10 has the ability to operate under sliding pressure, that is, the steam turbine generator set 10 can autonomously adjust the load according to changes in steam pressure.
[0045] The saturated steam main pipeline 1 can transport surplus saturated steam to the superheated steam main pipeline 2 via the saturated steam connecting pipeline 3 for power generation by the steam turbine generator set 10.
[0046] The superheated steam main pipeline 2 can transport superheated steam to the saturated steam main pipeline 1 through the superheated steam connecting pipeline 4 when the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is low, thereby increasing the saturated steam pressure and meeting user needs.
[0047] Based on the above embodiments, the first waste heat furnace is a converter waste heat furnace 5, the second waste heat furnace is a heating furnace waste heat furnace 6, the third waste heat furnace is a supplementary waste heat furnace 7, and the fourth waste heat furnace is a sintering waste heat furnace 9.
[0048] The saturated steam generated by the converter waste heat furnace 5 is stored and stabilized by the heat accumulator 11 and then connected to the saturated steam main network 1. The saturated steam generated by the heating furnace waste heat furnace 6 and the supplementary waste heat furnace 7 is connected to the saturated steam main network 1 and then distributed by the saturated steam main network 1 to the steam supply end 8 for users.
[0049] In some specific embodiments, steam valves 13 are respectively provided between the first waste heat furnace, the second waste heat furnace, the third waste heat furnace and the steam supply end 8 and the saturated steam main network 1, and steam valves 13 are provided between the fourth waste heat furnace and the superheated steam main network 2.
[0050] The superheated steam produced by the sintering waste heat furnace 9 is incorporated into the superheated steam main pipeline 2, and then distributed by the superheated steam main pipeline 2 to the steam turbine generator set 10 for power generation.
[0051] Saturated steam enters steam pressure gauge 16 via pressure gauge valve 22 from saturated steam main network 1, and superheated steam enters steam pressure gauge 16 via pressure gauge valve 22 from superheated steam main network 2.
[0052] Based on the above embodiments, a steam-water separator 14 and a steam superheater 15 are provided on the saturated steam connecting pipe 3.
[0053] After installing a steam-water separator 14 on the saturated steam connecting pipe 3, a steam superheater 15 is installed to heat the saturated steam into superheated steam.
[0054] In some specific embodiments, steam pressure gauges 16 are respectively installed on the saturated steam main network 1 and the superheated steam main network 2.
[0055] Based on the above embodiments, the superheated steam main pipeline 2 is provided with a steam inlet valve 17 and a steam inlet regulating valve 18.
[0056] Based on the above embodiments, a check valve 19 is installed after the steam superheater 15 to prevent superheated steam from flowing back into the saturated steam main network 1; a check valve 19 is installed at the end of the superheated steam main network 2 to the saturated steam connecting pipeline 3 to prevent saturated steam from flowing back into the superheated steam main network 2.
[0057] When the steam pressure gauge 16 detects that the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is too high and may cause steam to be released, the saturated steam connection valve 23 on the saturated steam connection pipeline 3 will automatically open. The saturated steam will enter the steam-water separator 14 for dehydration through the saturated steam regulating valve 20. The dehydrated saturated steam will then enter the steam superheater 15 for superheating through the steam valve 13. The superheated steam will then enter the superheated steam main pipeline 2 through the steam valve 13 and the check valve 19, thereby reducing the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 and preventing steam from being released from the waste heat furnaces. When the steam pressure gauge 16 detects that the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is equal to or slightly lower than the pressure of the superheated steam main pipeline 2 detected by the steam pressure gauge 16, the saturated steam connection valve 23 will automatically close.
[0058] When the steam pressure gauge 16 detects that the pressure of the saturated steam main network 1 is low enough to potentially lead to insufficient user demand, the superheated steam connection valve 24 on the superheated steam connection pipeline 4 automatically opens. Superheated steam enters the saturated steam main network 1 through the superheated steam regulating valve 21 and the check valve 19, appropriately increasing the pressure of the saturated steam main network 1 to meet the user's needs. When the steam pressure gauge 16 detects that the pressure of the saturated steam main network 1 is equal to or slightly higher than the pressure of the superheated steam main network 2 detected by the steam pressure gauge 16, the superheated steam connection valve automatically closes.
[0059] A specific application of this application is as follows: saturated steam generated by the converter waste heat furnace 5 is stored and stabilized by the accumulator 11 and then connected to the saturated steam main pipeline 1. Saturated steam generated by the heating furnace waste heat furnace 6 and the supplementary waste heat furnace 7 is connected to the saturated steam main pipeline 1 and then distributed by the saturated steam main pipeline 1 to the steam supply end 8 for user use. Superheated steam generated by the sintering waste heat furnace 9 is connected to the superheated steam main pipeline 2 and then distributed by the superheated steam main pipeline 2 to the steam turbine generator set 10 for power generation. When the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is high enough to reach the preset pressure range, the saturated steam connecting valve 23 is automatically opened to transport saturated steam to the superheated steam main pipeline 2. When the saturated steam pressure is lower than the preset value, the saturated steam connecting valve 23 is automatically closed. When the pressure of the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is low enough to reach the preset pressure range, the superheated steam connecting valve 24 is automatically opened to transport superheated steam to the saturated steam main pipeline 1. When the saturated steam pressure is higher than the preset value, the superheated steam connecting valve 24 is automatically closed.
[0060] This invention utilizes the recovery of saturated steam generated from waste heat in a converter. After heat storage and pressure stabilization, the steam is combined with saturated steam produced by the heating furnace and supplementary waste heat furnace 7 and fed into the saturated steam pipeline network for user use. Superheated steam produced by the sintering waste heat furnace 9 is fed into the superheated steam main pipeline 2 to power the turbine generator set 10. When the pressure in the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is too high, causing steam venting, the saturated steam can be dehydrated and superheated through the saturated steam connecting pipeline 3 and then transported to the superheated steam main pipeline 2 for power generation by the turbine generator set 10. When the pressure in the saturated steam main pipeline 1 is too low, affecting user steam consumption, the superheated steam can be transported to the saturated steam main pipeline 1 through the superheated steam connecting pipeline 4 to increase the saturated steam pressure and meet user needs. Through these methods, the self-balancing of low-quality steam in the steel complex is achieved, thereby meeting user needs and reducing steam venting.
