Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste steam heat recovery technology, and in particular to a steam heat recovery device for boiler blowdown expansion vessel. Background Technology
[0002] The periodic blowdown expansion tank is mainly used to reduce the pressure and expand the capacity of the boiler's periodic wastewater. The periodic blowdown wastewater undergoes secondary boiling at a lower pressure, generating some secondary steam, while simultaneously cooling the wastewater. The secondary steam and wastewater are separated inside the periodic blowdown expansion tank. The separated steam is discharged from the upper outlet, while the wastewater is discharged into the ditch from the lower wastewater outlet.
[0003] Currently, most power plants directly discharge secondary steam from boiler blowdown expansion vessels into the atmosphere. This discharged steam has a high calorific value, resulting in significant energy waste and hindering energy conservation and environmental protection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a steam heat recovery device for boiler blowdown expansion vessels to recover and utilize steam heat, thereby improving energy efficiency and increasing economic benefits.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model includes a waste heat recovery tank 1 and a first water spraying heat absorption mechanism and a second water spraying heat absorption mechanism installed inside the waste heat recovery tank 1.
[0027] The first water spraying heat absorption mechanism includes a first water spray pipe and a first water distribution plate 2 installed below the first water spray pipe. The first water spray pipe includes a first outer water spray pipe 3 fixed to the inner wall of the waste heat recovery tank 1 and a first inner water spray pipe 5 located inside the first outer water spray pipe 3 and connected to the first outer water spray pipe 3 through a first connecting pipe 4.
[0028] Several first external nozzles 6 that spray inward are evenly distributed on the first external water spray pipe 3, and several first internal nozzles 7 that spray inward and several first intermediate nozzles 8 that spray outward are evenly distributed on the first internal water spray pipe 5. The first external nozzles 6, the first internal nozzles 7 and the first intermediate nozzles 8 are all high-pressure nozzles. The first external nozzles 6 and the first internal nozzles 7 spray water inward, and the first intermediate nozzles 8 spray water outward. Together, they spray water to form a layer of spray water curtain, which enhances the heat exchange effect between steam and water.
[0029] The first water distribution plate 2 is a funnel-shaped structure whose width gradually increases from top to bottom. The upper end of the first water distribution plate 2 is fixed to the bottom surface of the first inner water spray pipe 5. The water sprayed from the first outer nozzle 6, the first inner nozzle 7 and the first intermediate nozzle 8 falls onto the first water distribution plate 2 and flows down through the lower end of the first water distribution plate 2 to form an annular water curtain, which further enhances the heat exchange effect between steam and water.
[0030] The second water spraying heat absorption mechanism includes a second water spray pipe and a second water distribution plate 10 installed below the second water spray pipe. The second water spray pipe includes a second outer water spray pipe 11 fixed to the inner wall of the waste heat recovery tank 1 and a second inner water spray pipe 12 located above the inner side of the second outer water spray pipe 11. The second outer water spray pipe 11 and the second inner water spray pipe 12 are connected through a second connecting pipe 13.
[0031] Several second external nozzles 14 that spray inward are evenly distributed on the second external water spray pipe 11, and several second internal nozzles 15 that spray inward and several second intermediate nozzles 16 that spray outward are evenly distributed on the second internal water spray pipe 12. The second external nozzles 14, the second internal nozzles 15 and the second intermediate nozzles 16 are all high-pressure nozzles. The second external nozzles 14 and the second internal nozzles 15 spray water inward, and the second intermediate nozzles 16 spray water outward. Together, they spray water to form two layers of water curtain, which enhances the heat exchange effect between steam and water.
[0032] The second water distribution plate 10 is a funnel-shaped structure with a width that gradually decreases from top to bottom. The upper end of the second water distribution plate 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the waste heat recovery tank 1. The water sprayed from the second nozzle falls onto the second water distribution plate 10 and flows down through the lower end of the second water distribution plate 10 to form an annular water curtain, which further enhances the heat exchange effect between steam and water.
[0033] In this embodiment, in order to enhance the recovery effect of steam waste heat, there are two sets of the first water spray heat absorption mechanism and the second water spray heat absorption mechanism, which are arranged alternately from bottom to top.
[0034] The waste heat recovery tank 1 is equipped with an exhaust port 17 at the top. The gas after the steam enters the waste heat recovery tank 1 and the waste heat is recovered is discharged through the exhaust port 17. The bottom of the waste heat recovery tank 1 is a water storage tank 18. One end of the air inlet pipe 19 is connected to the steam output pipe of the boiler's fixed discharge expansion vessel, and the other end extends into the bottom of the water storage tank 18. In this embodiment, there are two air inlet pipes 19 arranged symmetrically. A drain port 20 is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 18. A valve is installed on the drain port 20, and the drain port 20 is opened periodically to drain water.
[0035] In this embodiment, a baffle plate 9 is installed above the air intake pipe 19. The baffle plate 9 is a funnel-shaped structure with a width that gradually decreases from top to bottom. The upper end of the baffle plate 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the waste heat recovery tank 1. Water flowing down from the lower end of the first water distribution plate 2 falls onto the baffle plate 9, forming an annular water curtain below the baffle plate 9. This further enhances the contact between steam and water, improves the heat exchange effect, and the baffle plate 9 also prevents the water curtain from continuously scouring the air intake pipe 19.
[0036] Steam from the boiler's fixed-discharge expansion vessel enters the water storage tank 18 through the inlet pipe 19. The steam undergoes initial heat exchange with the water in the water storage tank 18. After passing through the water storage tank 18, the steam rises and passes through multiple layers of spray water curtains. The steam rising along the area near the inner wall of the waste heat recovery tank 1 also passes through multiple annular water curtains. The multiple layers of spray water curtains and multiple annular water curtains greatly enhance the contact between the steam and water, improve the heat exchange efficiency, and maximize the recovery of steam heat.
[0037] This invention utilizes the structural cooperation of a first and second water spray pipe to form a multi-layered spray water curtain. Waste heat from the steam is recovered through this circulating cooling water curtain. Multiple annular water curtains are formed by a first water distribution plate 2 below the first water spray pipe and a second water distribution plate 10 below the second water spray pipe, further improving the waste heat recovery effect. This invention maximizes the recovery of steam heat from the boiler's fixed-discharge expansion vessel, improving energy utilization efficiency, reducing energy waste, and increasing economic benefits.
