DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of the present scheme, the present scheme will be described below through specific embodiments.

[0018] As Figure 1 shown in a thermal power plant fixed expansion vessel high temperature steam recovery system, the top of the fixed expansion vessel 1 is provided with a steam exhaust pipe 3, the steam exhaust pipe 3 is provided with at least two atomizing nozzles 4 distributed in the vertical direction, the atomizing nozzles 4 are respectively connected to the cold water pipe 5 extending outside the steam exhaust pipe. The cold water pipe is respectively provided with a water spray valve 6, and the distance between the two adjacent atomizing nozzles in the vertical direction is not greater than 5 meters. The atomizing nozzles of the present embodiment are arranged in two along the vertical direction, forming two atomizing water cooling in the steam exhaust pipe, improving the condensation efficiency. In actual use, the high pressure pump or compressed air device in the prior art is used to provide pressure for the cold water in the cold water pipe, so as to better realize atomization.

[0019] The two opposite side walls of the steam exhaust pipe are respectively provided with cooling fins 2 located below the atomizing nozzles 4, the cooling fins 2 are sealingly connected with the pipe wall of the steam exhaust pipe, both the cooling fins are inclined downward, and the two cooling fins are distributed in the vertical direction at one end in the steam exhaust pipe, and a steam passage is formed between the two cooling fins. The cooling fins are used for primary heat exchange cooling of high temperature steam, and the flow of steam is blocked and decelerated, so that the cold water sprayed by the atomizing nozzles can be fully heat exchanged with the steam.

[0020] The steam recovery system of the present embodiment further comprises a drain pipe 13 and a water storage tank 12, the water inlet end of the drain pipe 13 is communicated with the water outlet at the bottom of the fixed expansion vessel 1, the water outlet end of the drain pipe 13 extends to the water storage tank 12, the drain pipe 13 is provided with a direct discharge valve 10, the bypass valve 9 is arranged above the direct discharge valve 10, the inlet of the bypass valve 9 is communicated with the drain pipe on the upstream side of the direct discharge valve, the outlet of the bypass valve 9 is communicated with the drain pipe on the downstream side of the direct discharge valve, and the height of the bypass valve 9 is higher than the water outlet at the bottom of the fixed expansion vessel 1. In normal use, the direct discharge valve is closed and the bypass valve is opened, the water in the fixed expansion vessel enters the water storage tank through the bypass valve, by setting the height of the bypass valve to be higher than the water outlet at the bottom of the fixed expansion vessel, so that there is accumulated water in the pipeline between the bypass valve and the fixed expansion vessel, thereby forming a water seal to prevent the steam in the fixed expansion vessel from being discharged from the bottom.

[0021] To facilitate the reduction of water temperature in the storage tank, the steam recovery system in this embodiment also includes a cooling water pipe 15 equipped with a cooling valve 14. The inlet end of the cooling water pipe 15 is connected to the cold water pipe 5, and the outlet end of the cooling water pipe 15 extends to the storage tank 12. When the cooling valve is opened, the cold water in the cold water pipe enters the storage tank and mixes with the hot water in the storage tank, thus preventing high-temperature damage to the water pump that draws water from the storage tank.

[0022] To improve the mixing efficiency of cold and hot water in the storage tank, the steam recovery system in this embodiment also includes a water mixing pump 11. The outlet of the water mixing pump 11 is connected to the storage tank through a circulation outlet pipe, and the inlet of the water mixing pump 11 is connected to the storage tank through a circulation inlet pipe. The connection point between the circulation inlet pipe and the storage tank is located below the liquid level in the storage tank. After cold water is introduced into the storage tank, the water mixing pump mixes the water in the storage tank, causing the water temperature in the storage tank to become uniform within a short time.

[0023] In this embodiment, the cooling valve is an electromagnetic valve, and a temperature sensor is installed in the water storage tank. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the cooling valve and the water pump. The temperature sensor is used to detect the water temperature in the water storage tank. If the water temperature in the water storage tank exceeds the set value, the cooling valve is opened to introduce cool water into the water storage tank, and the water pump is started to circulate the water in the water storage tank. When the water temperature in the water storage tank is lower than the set value, the cooling valve and the water pump are closed.

[0024] The steam recovery system in this embodiment also includes a water delivery pipe 7 equipped with a water pump 8 and a water supply valve. The inlet end of the water delivery pipe 7 is connected to a water storage tank, and the outlet end of the water delivery pipe 7 is connected to the hot water inlet pipe of the indoor heating system. When heating is required indoors, the water supply valve is opened, and the water pump 8 is used to supply hot water from the water storage tank into the indoor heating system to meet the heating needs. The water in the water storage tank can also be used as boiler raw water or other process water to improve thermal energy utilization efficiency.

[0025] In this embodiment, the boiler continuous drainage, boiler scheduled drainage, boiler emergency drainage, various boiler drains, boiler level gauge flushing drainage, turbine condensate drainage, turbine high-pressure heater emergency drainage, and deaerator emergency drainage are all ultimately discharged into the scheduled drainage expansion container. High-temperature steam flows upward along the steam pipe, and the cooling fins are used to cool and slow down the high-temperature steam. The cold water sprayed from the atomizing nozzle forms a water screen to cool the high-temperature steam a second time. The water formed after the high-temperature steam condenses flows downward back into the scheduled drainage expansion container, realizing the recovery of steam heat and preventing the high-temperature steam from being directly discharged into the atmosphere. The water formed by the steam condensation enters the water storage tank through the drain pipe for use in heating, boiler raw water, etc.
