TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to condensate water storage technical field, especially a kind of buffer water storage system of steam condensate water. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of textile production chinlon polymerization, steam condensate water is collected for recycling, which is cooled by heat conversion, and then collected. In the process of polymerization, steam condensate water is also discharged. To reduce water consumption, the condensate water is pumped back to the condensate water pipe network in the factory for reuse. This maximizes the use of steam condensate water heat, saving energy and reducing consumption, and improving economic efficiency.
[0003] However, in production, condensate water is constantly collected and cooled, and the amount of condensate water collected is difficult to stabilize and balance, resulting in large fluctuations in water pressure in the condensate water system pipe network, which can also cause unstable water delivery of the steam condensate water pump, and the water delivery volume is fast or slow. Therefore, it is necessary to collect condensate water in advance and then pressurize it into the production water delivery pipe network.
[0004] The liquid level of the condensate water collection tank changes with the collection speed of the condensate water, causing the liquid level in the condensate water collection tank to fluctuate, making it difficult to stabilize water supply. When the liquid level in the collection tank is high, it will cause the upstream condensate water collection pipeline to be not smooth, and the steam condensate water collection and drainage of the entire chinlon polymerization will fail, causing water hammer in the steam pipeline, which can cause production interruption in the front end of the water-consuming pelletizer, posing a safety risk and economic loss to chinlon polymerization production. When the water level in the condensate water collection tank is low, the subsequent water pump may be idle, causing damage to the water delivery pump at the back end.
[0005] The current method is to manually operate frequently. When the level is high, the operator needs to manually open the drain valve of the condensate water collection tank to drain water, causing waste of water resources. When the water level in the condensate water collection tank is too low, the water outlet pump needs to be closed, and after a few minutes, the liquid level in the condensate water collection tank rises again to start the water outlet pump. Frequent personnel operation is required, which consumes labor, and frequent operation by operators can cause internal leakage of valves, posing a safety hazard to production.
[0006] Therefore, the utility model designs a steam condensate water buffer water storage system to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1The utility model provides a kind of buffer water storage system of steam condensate, to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be explained in detail in the following by combining with the drawings and specific embodiments of the specification.
[0032] In a specific embodiment of the technical scheme of the utility model:
[0033] It includes collection tank 1, buffer tank 2, sewage tank 3 and drainage pump 4;
[0034] Collection tank 1 is closed storage tank, and the outside of collection tank 1 is provided with liquid level meter 11; the bottom of liquid level meter 11 is further provided with liquid level maintenance valve 12; there is also a connecting pipe on the top of collection tank 1, which is connected with the condensate water collection pipe network upstream, so as to facilitate the collection of unstable condensate water upstream through collection tank 1, and to convert unstable condensate water into stable delivery system through more stable collection tank 1, to supply downstream water pipe network.
[0035] The top and bottom of liquid level meter 11 are each provided with a liquid level communication valve 13, and the communication valve 13 at the top of liquid level meter 11 is in communication with the top of the inner cavity of collection tank 1, and the communication valve 13 at the bottom of liquid level meter 11 is in communication with the bottom of the inner cavity of collection tank 1.
[0036] So that liquid level meter 11 can display the liquid level outside collection tank 1, which is convenient for manual inspection, and can also conveniently send liquid level information to the controller.
[0037] Buffer tank 2 is also a closed tank body, and the inlet section of buffer tank 2 is provided with buffer valve 21, which is in communication with the bottom of collection tank 1; the outlet end of buffer valve 21 is further provided with backflow valve 22, which is also in communication with the top of the inner cavity of collection tank 1; the water inlet end of buffer valve 21 is further connected with buffer maintenance valve 23 and sewage valve 31 through a tee joint; buffer valve 21 is in communication with the bottom of the inner cavity of collection tank 1 through buffer maintenance valve 23, and buffer valve 21 is in communication with the bottom of the inner cavity of sewage tank 3 through sewage valve 31.
[0038] Sewage valve 31 is a tee joint valve, and sewage valve 31 is further provided with a blowdown port, which is in communication with the sewage pipeline. The function of sewage tank 3 is to collect impurities at the bottom of collection tank 1, and the initial water flow of sewage valve 31 is discharged through the blowdown port, so as to avoid the continuous circulation of impurities in the water delivery pipe network, and the impurities in the condensate water are generally very few, and only appear after a long period of sedimentation. The blowdown port is used less, so in this water flow pipe network, sewage tank 3 serves as another water flow channel of buffer tank 2, and sewage valve 31 can be used as an emergency drain valve and also can play a role in adjusting the amount of water discharged by collection tank 1.
[0039] Collection tank 1 is further provided with sewage tank 3, and collection tank 1 and sewage tank 3 are an integral structure in communication with each other, and the bottom of sewage tank 3 is also in communication with buffer valve 21 through a pipeline.
[0040] The drain outlet of the collecting tank 3 is connected with a drain pump 4 and a drain valve 41; the water outlet of the drain pump 4 is communicated with an external water supply pipe network; the bottom of the collecting tank 3 is further connected with a standby pump 42 and a standby valve 43, and the water outlet of the standby valve 43 is also communicated with the external water supply pipe network.
[0041] The liquid level meter 11 is further connected with the drain pump 4, the buffer valve 21 and the backflow valve 22 in data. The buffer valve 21, the sewage valve 31, the backflow valve 22 and the drain valve 41 are all electromagnetic valves. A PLC controller can be arranged in the device, and the liquid level information and the valves and the drain pump 4 are controlled by the controller.
[0042] The buffer tank 2 is above the collecting tank 1, and the height difference between the buffer tank 2 and the collecting tank 1 is between 3-8 meters; a drain valve is further arranged at the top of the buffer tank 2, and the drain valve is a one-way valve; the collecting tank 1 maintains a pressure of 0.1MPA.
[0043] Such position setting has a special effect, so that the buffer tank 2 and the collecting tank 1 do not need a water pump for conveying; the collecting tank 1 itself maintains a pressure of 0.1MPA for a long time, and when the buffer tank 2 is in an empty tank state, the pressure in the collecting tank 1 will automatically press the water flow into the buffer tank 2; when the buffer valve 21 is opened, the water pressure in the buffer tank 2 is consistent with that in the collecting tank 1 at this time, and when the backflow valve 22 is opened, the water pressure in the collecting tank 1 is consistent with that in the buffer tank 2 at this time, and the buffer tank 2 is higher than the collecting tank 1, so the water flow will flow back to the collecting tank 1, without the need of using a water pump for conveying.
[0044] Only when water is sent to the buffer tank 2, the drain valve at the top of the buffer tank 2 needs to be opened, and after the buffer tank 2 is filled, the drain valve needs to be closed, so that the buffer tank 2 maintains the same water pressure as the collecting tank 1. The operation of the water flow and the drain valve is also completed by the PLC controller, and such control mode and system belong to the conventional control system of the water supply pipe network.
[0045] It should be noted that:
[0046] 1. The flow rates of the sewage valve 31 and the buffer maintenance valve 23 are different, and their functions are also different, but they can be more flexible in collecting the condensate water in the buffer tank 2, that is, they can be opened at the same time or only one of them can be opened according to the needs. As for the selection of the opening mode, the collection speed of the condensate water upstream of the tank 1 is used as the basis, that is, the detection of the liquid level meter 11 in the tank 1 is used as the criterion. If the liquid level rises too fast, the sewage valve 31 and the buffer maintenance valve 23 are opened at the same time. If the rising speed is slow, only one of them can be opened. Therefore, the flow rate of the buffer valve 21 is the largest, which can ensure that the two valves can quickly collect water when they are synchronized. 2. The function of the buffer maintenance valve 23 is to control the main conveying pipeline of the buffer tank 2 in the control box, which can be manually closed for pipeline maintenance. It is usually in an open state, which is convenient for the buffer valve 21 to control the pipeline network. When maintenance is needed, the buffer maintenance valve 23 can be closed. 3. The same liquid level maintenance valve 12 is used for the maintenance of the liquid level meter 11. It is usually in a closed state and is a manual valve. The same liquid level communication valve 13 is also a manual valve and is in an open state. When the liquid level meter 11 is maintained, the liquid level communication valve 13 is manually closed.
[0047] In use, the buffer valve 21 and the backflow valve 22 are usually in a closed state. When the upstream condensate water flow is too large, when the liquid level in the tank 1 rises too fast, and the liquid level meter 11 sends a high-level prompt, the buffer valve 21 is opened to convey the condensate water to the buffer tank 2 for storage.
[0048] When the liquid level meter 11 continuously sends a high-level prompt for 30 seconds without interruption, the buffer valve 21, the buffer maintenance valve 23, and the sewage valve 31 are opened at the same time. The buffer maintenance valve 23 is in an open state, and the water in the tank 1 is stored through the buffer valve 21. Avoiding the liquid level in the tank 1 from being too high.
[0049] When the high-level prompt of the liquid level meter 11 lasts for ten minutes, the sewage valve 31 is opened to directly discharge the water flow into the sewage pipe to avoid the liquid level from being too high.
[0050] When the high-level prompt signal of the liquid level meter disappears for 5 minutes, the buffer valve 21, the buffer maintenance valve 23, and the sewage valve 31 are closed.
[0051] When the liquid level in the tank 1 rapidly decreases, the liquid level meter 11 sends a low-level signal prompt, and the controller controls the buffer valve backflow valve 22 to be opened. The buffer valve 21 is in a closed state. Until the low-level prompt of the liquid level meter 11 disappears for 3 minutes, the backflow valve 22 is closed.
[0052] The buffer tank 2 is designed to store water for 30 minutes, when the low liquid level indicator 11 sends a signal for more than 30 minutes, the drainage pump 4 and the standby pump 42 are closed, and a warning is sent, the warning device can be an audible and light alarm, which is a standard warning device equipped on the PLC controller, and is convenient for prompting the staff to repair.
[0053] Although the specific embodiments of the present application are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are only illustrative, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and equivalent modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the present application should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present application.
