Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot water recycling technology, and in particular to a hot water recycling system. Background Technology
[0002] In the pesticide production process, high-temperature, clean, and stable steam is required from fermentation and purification to formulation. In addition, steam can also be used for equipment disinfection to ensure the hygiene and safety of pesticide production. The latent heat of vaporization released by steam-using equipment is converted into saturated condensate at almost the same temperature and pressure. Since the operating pressure of steam is greater than atmospheric pressure, the heat of condensate can reach 25% of the enthalpy of vaporization, and generally accounts for 20-30% of the total heat of steam.
[0003] In actual use, a large amount of steam condensate is often not fully utilized. Steam condensate, as softened water, also has a large amount of heat energy that can be utilized. Most pesticide companies use steam as a heat source for heating, and the condensate produced is often directly sent to the sewage treatment plant, resulting in a great waste. At the same time, tap water is still used in places that need water replenishment, such as circulating water tanks (with losses) and process water replenishment, causing unnecessary waste. To address this, a hot water recycling system is proposed to make fuller use of water resources and heat energy in the workshop and achieve the goal of energy conservation and consumption reduction. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a hot water recycling system that solves the problems mentioned in the background, and can make full use of water resources and heat energy in the workshop, thereby improving the utilization rate of resources and energy.
[0005] The solution to the above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model is as follows: A hot water recycling system includes a hot water tank, a condensate tank, a hot water cooling pool, a circulating water pool, a hot water circulating pump, a circulating water pump, a condensate cooling tower, a circulating water cooling tower, a workshop hot water main pipe, a workshop steam condensate main pipe, a buried pipe, a workshop circulating water network, a circulating water return main pipe, a No. 1 delivery pump, a No. 2 delivery pump, a circulating pipe, and a No. 2 overflow pipe. The workshop steam condensate main pipe is connected to the condensate tank through a pipe, and the No. 1 delivery pump is connected to the condensate tank through a pipe. The drive end of the No. 1 delivery pump is connected to the hot water tank and the hot water cooling pool through a pipe, and both pipes are equipped with a No. 1 water valve. The water tank is equipped with a No. 1 overflow pipe, which is connected to the hot water cooling pool. One end of the No. 2 delivery water pump is connected to the workshop's main hot water pipe, and the other end is connected to the hot water tank. The two ends of the hot water circulation pump are connected to the hot water cooling pool and the condensate cooling tower, respectively. The condensate cooling tower is connected to the hot water cooling pool via a circulation pipe. The hot water cooling pool is connected to the circulating water pool via the No. 2 overflow pipe. The circulating water return main pipe is connected to the circulating water cooling tower via a pipe. The circulating water cooling tower is connected to the circulating water pool. The circulating water pool is fixedly connected to a No. 3 overflow pipe, which is connected to a buried pipe. The two ends of the circulating water pump are connected to the circulating water pool and the workshop's circulating water network, respectively.
[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0007] Furthermore, the condensate cooling tower and the circulating water cooling tower are placed in the top-floor equipment room of the workshop or factory or installed in the open air on the roof. The condensate tank is placed in a low position in the workshop to facilitate the collection of steam condensate.
[0008] Furthermore, the steam condensate from the hot water tank can be pumped into the workshop's main hot water pipe by the No. 2 delivery water pump to supply the workshop's heating network and equipment that does not require high temperatures in the workshop for heating, and then flow back to the circulating water cooling tower through the circulating water return main pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, the circulating water pool requires a water source with a lower temperature, which can be reduced to an acceptable range through a hot water cooling pool and a hot condensate cooling tower.
[0010] Furthermore, in cold regions, to ensure that the circulating water pool does not freeze, a heat source is needed to heat it and ensure that the water temperature is above a certain level. This can be achieved by shutting down the condensate cooling tower and stopping the cooling of the water in the hot water cooling pool, allowing the relatively warm hot water to replenish the circulating water pool. This ensures both the replenishment of the circulating water pool and prevents the circulating water temperature from becoming too low.
[0011] Furthermore, all connecting pipes within the system are equipped with heat-insulating heating jackets to prevent heat loss and avoid burns.
[0012] Furthermore, the selection of the condensate cooling tower and the circulating water cooling tower is determined based on the size of the workshop space and the heat exchange efficiency.
[0013] Furthermore, the motors for the condensate cooling tower and the circulating water cooling tower are variable frequency motors.
[0014] This utility model provides a hot water recycling system, which has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. A condensate tank is provided to collect condensate from all steam-heated equipment in the workshop. The condensate can be transferred to a large-capacity hot water tank by a No. 1 water pump. A condensate cooling tower is provided to cool the condensate. The cooled water can be returned to the hot water cooling pool through a circulation pipe. Excess water in the hot water cooling pool can also be added to the circulation pool through a No. 2 overflow pipe to make up for the loss of circulation water, so that the steam condensate can be fully collected for recycling.
[0016] 2. The temperature of the steam condensate is 80-95℃. After being collected in the hot water tank, it can be pumped into the workshop's main hot water pipe by the No. 2 delivery water pump. The hot water from the workshop's main hot water pipe can be supplied to the workshop's heating network and to heat equipment that does not require high temperatures in the workshop. At the same time, it can be supplied to the workshop's heating network, so that the heat of the steam condensate can be fully utilized. The water after heating flows back to the circulating water cooling tower through the circulating water return main pipe, which can also supply high-quality water to the circulating water pool, so that the water resources and heat energy in the workshop can be utilized more fully, achieving the goal of energy conservation and consumption reduction.
