Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pre-filter technology, and in particular to a condensate pre-filter. Background Technology

[0002] Power plant condensate is the water that condenses after steam performs work in the turbine. This water is usually saturated, high-temperature softened water with high thermal energy value. Because this water has already done work in the turbine, its temperature and pressure have decreased, but it still retains high calorific value and certain water quality standards, making it suitable for reuse as boiler feedwater. However, the reuse of condensate requires filtration to ensure that the water quality meets the standards for boiler feedwater, thereby guaranteeing the stable operation of the boiler.

[0003] Current filters rely solely on single-pore size screens for interception, which easily allows impurities to penetrate the screen and enter subsequent systems. Furthermore, existing filters use fixed spray groups or simple backwashing, making it difficult to fully cover the screen surface, resulting in numerous rinsing dead zones and a high rate of impurity residue. Therefore, a condensate pre-filter is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a condensate pre-filter to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial option.

A rinsing pipe is provided on the three-way pipe. A limiting block is provided inside the bucket body. A top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the bucket body by screws. The rinsing assembly includes a mounting block fixedly connected to the top plate. A rotating rod is rotatably connected through the mounting block. An impeller is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod. A rotating drum is fixedly connected to the bottom of the impeller. A rinsing port is provided on one side of the rotating drum.

[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the inlet pipe, the drain pipe, and the tee pipe are each equipped with a solenoid valve, and the bottom of the bucket is shaped like an inverted frustum.

[0011] More preferably, the fixing plate is located between the water inlet pipe and the tee pipe, and the support legs are provided in three sets and are evenly distributed.

[0012] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0013] I. This utility model uses a three-way pipe to send filtered water into the rotating drum through the flushing pipe. Under the action of the water flow, the impeller can drive the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating drum to rotate.

A water inlet pipe 101 is fixedly provided at the bottom of one side of the barrel 1, and a three-way pipe 102 is provided at the top of one side of the barrel 1. A flushing pipe 103 is provided on the three-way pipe 102. A limiting block 201 is provided inside the barrel 1. A top plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the barrel 1 by screws. The flushing assembly includes a mounting block 301 fixedly connected to the top plate 3. A rotating rod 302 is rotatably connected through the mounting block 301. An impeller 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 302. A rotating drum 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the impeller 303. A flushing port 305 is provided on one side of the rotating drum 304. A sealing ring is provided at the contact point between the top plate 3 and the top of the barrel 1. Four sets of screws are provided for fixing the top plate 3. Only one row of flushing ports 305 is provided to enhance the pressure when the water comes out of the flushing ports 305. The flushing pipe 103 is a flexible hose. The impeller 303 is located above the mounting block 301.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the inlet pipe 101 is provided with an installation groove 401, and a stop block 402 is slidably connected in the installation groove 401. A filter hole 403 is provided on one side of the stop block 402. Both sides of the stop block 402 are fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 101 by bolts 404. The bottom of the tank body 1 is provided with a tank bottom 501, and a drain pipe 502 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank bottom 501. A fixing plate 601 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1, and a support leg 602 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 601. A sealing ring is provided at the contact point between the stop block 402 and the installation groove 401. The installation groove 401 is located between the solenoid valve on the inlet pipe 101 and the tank body 1. The tank body 1 is made of transparent material.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the filter screen 2 is attached to the limiting block 201, the water inlet pipe 101 and the three-way pipe 102 are located on both sides of the barrel 1, one side of the filter screen 2 is connected to the three-way pipe 102, the water inlet pipe 101 is located below the filter screen 2, the bottom of the top plate 3 is attached to the top of the filter screen 2, one end of the flushing pipe 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 3, and solenoid valves are respectively provided on the water inlet pipe 101, the sewage pipe 502 and the three-way pipe 102.

[0029] In operation, this invention allows for the initial filtration of condensate by the baffle 402 installed in the mounting groove 401, preventing large particles from entering the tank 1.

Then close the drain pipe 502 and open the inlet pipe 101, allowing water to enter the tank 1. The three-way pipe 102 directs the water flow through the rinsing pipe 103 into the rotating drum 304. The water flow drives the impeller 303, causing the rotating rod 302 to rotate on the mounting block 301, which in turn rotates the drum 304. The water flow is controlled by adjusting the inlet water flow. Pipe 101, drain pipe 502, and tee pipe 102 are connected. At this time, some water is discharged through drain pipe 502, and while the rotating drum 304 is rotating, the water in the rotating drum 304 is sprayed out through the rinsing port 305, which can flush out the impurities attached to the through holes on the filter screen 2 and prevent them from entering the filter screen 2. After rinsing, drain pipe 502 is opened to drain the water in the tank 1. Repeat the operation several times to rinse. Remove the four sets of screws, and the top plate 3 can be removed from the tank 1 to replace the filter screen 2. Remove the two sets of bolts 404, and the baffle 402 can be removed from the mounting slot 401. Clean the large pieces that are blocking the filter screen. Some large pieces of material will remain in the inlet pipe 101. At this time, open the inlet pipe 101 and drain pipe 502 to directly discharge the residue in the inlet pipe 101.
