[0017] The working principle of the present application is as follows:

[0018] 1. A branch is led out from the main pipe of the steam drum (i.e. the boiler 1), and a control valve and a flow monitoring device are installed on the branch.

[0019] 2. The drain water is introduced into the serpentine pipe 7 of the raw water tank 2 for heat exchange;

[0020] 3. The inlet and outlet temperatures of boiler blowdown 1 and raw water tank 2 are monitored in real time using temperature sensors;

[0021] 4. Based on the target temperature required for the raw water, the control system automatically adjusts the opening of the control valves to control the flow rate of the water discharged from boiler continuous blowdown 1, thereby regulating the heating degree of the raw water;

[0022] 5. Directly enter the water production system 6 to begin water production;

[0023] 6. The wastewater after heat exchange is returned to cooling pool 3 and can be used as a makeup water source for the mechanical cooling tower.

[0024] The requirements for each component of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] 1. The serpentine tube 7 (installed inside the original water tank 2) is required to have good heat transfer performance and corrosion resistance.

[0026] 2. The pipes connecting the various components are made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel pipes, to ensure the safety and stability of the transportation.

[0027] 3. The control valve is a manual door, an electric door, or an automatic regulating control valve: used to regulate and isolate the drainage volume.

[0028] 4. Temperature sensor: accurately measures the temperature of the drain water and raw water in order to monitor and control the heating process.

[0029] 5. Pressure sensor: monitors the pressure in the heat exchange pipeline and the steam pressure.

[0030] 6. Thermal insulation (i.e., each pipe is equipped with an insulation layer): Insulate the pipes along the route to reduce heat loss and prevent burns to personnel.

[0031] 7. Flow meter (i.e. flow monitoring device): confirms the continuous discharge flow rate of the steam drum.

[0032] Issues to consider:

[0033] 1. The heat exchanger 7 will occupy the space of the raw water tank 2, affecting the volume of the raw water tank 2.

[0034] 2. Since the original water tank 2 is not in a constant water intake state, it is easy to cause localized heat in the exchange water. It is necessary to add a disturbance device, such as a mixer.

[0035] To ensure the smooth implementation and safe operation of the plan, factors such as pressure balance, pipeline support, and equipment layout must be fully considered during the design and construction process. Furthermore, regular maintenance and inspection of the equipment are necessary to guarantee its long-term stable operation.

[0036] In winter, the waste heat from the boiler drain is used to automatically raise the inlet water temperature of the demineralized water system by 25-35℃, enhancing water permeability and thus improving water production efficiency. The drain temperature from the boiler drum is approximately 270℃.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] This utility model provides a demineralized water system with a heating device, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes a boiler grate 1, the outlet of the boiler grate 1 is connected to the first inlet of a plate heat exchanger 4 via a pipeline, the plate heat exchanger 4 is located outside the raw water tank 2, the first outlet of the plate heat exchanger 4 is connected to a cooling pool 3 via a pipeline, the inlet of the raw water tank 2 is connected to the second outlet of the plate heat exchanger 4 via a pipeline, and the outlet of the raw water tank 2 is connected to the second inlet of the plate heat exchanger 4 via a pipeline; a branch pipe leading to a water production system 6 is connected to the pipeline between the inlet of the raw water tank 2 and the second outlet of the plate heat exchanger 4.

[0039] When the raw water tank 2 is working, the water in the raw water tank 2 is lifted by a booster pump at regular intervals, and then sent through the pipeline to the second inlet of the plate heat exchanger 4. The heated water is then sent to the water production system 6. However, when the raw water tank 2 is not working, the water in the raw water tank 2 will not enter the plate heat exchanger 4, which will cause local overheating of the plate heat exchanger 4.

[0040] Therefore, in this embodiment, a circulation pump 5 is also connected to the pipeline connecting the outlet of the raw water tank 2 and the second inlet of the plate heat exchanger 4. By adding the circulation pump 5, local overheating of the plate heat exchanger 4 is prevented when the cold source water (water in the raw water tank 2) is interrupted. That is, the circulation pump 5 accelerates the flow rate of the raw water in the pipeline between the raw water tank 2 and the plate heat exchanger 4, and accelerates the delivery of the raw water in the raw water tank 2 into the plate heat exchanger 4, thereby preventing local overheating of the plate heat exchanger 4. The circulation pump 5 can be in continuous operation; or it can operate only when the booster pump in the raw water tank 2 is not operating, and the circulation pump 5 is not operating when the booster pump in the raw water tank 2 is operating.

[0041] In addition, the inlet and outlet of the circulating pump 5 are connected in parallel to a pipeline with another circulating pump 5, and a valve is installed on each pipeline where the circulating pump 5 is located to control the opening and closing of the current pipeline. When one of the circulating pumps 5 fails, the other circulating pump 5 will work, so that the water source at the plate heat exchanger 4 will not be overheated.

[0042] In this embodiment, a branch line is led out from the main pipe of boiler busbar 1, and a control valve and flow monitoring device are provided on the branch line to control the opening and closing of the branch line.

[0045] 2. The drain water is introduced into the plate heat exchanger 4 to exchange heat with the raw water coming out of the raw water tank 2 and entering the pipes inside the plate heat exchanger 4; wherein, the drain water does not come into contact with the raw water, and the pipes containing the raw water are heated by the drain water.

[0046] 3. Add a circulating pump 5 (or connect a circulating pump 5 in parallel) to the outlet of the raw water tank 2 and the pipeline between it and the plate heat exchanger 4 to accelerate the heat exchange between the raw water from the raw water tank 2 and the plate heat exchanger 4.

[0047] 4. Based on the target temperature required for the raw water, the control system automatically adjusts the opening of the control valves to control the flow rate of the water discharged from boiler continuous blowdown 1, thereby regulating the heating degree of the raw water;

[0048] 5. The heated raw water is divided into two paths. One path can directly enter the water purification system 6 for water purification, while the other path returns to the demineralized raw water tank 2.

[0049] 6. The wastewater after heat exchange is returned to cooling pool 3 and can be used as a makeup water source for the mechanical cooling tower.

[0050] 7. The inlet and outlet temperatures of boiler blowdown 1 and raw water tank 2 are monitored in real time using temperature sensors.

[0051] The requirements for each component of this utility model are as follows:

[0052] 1. Plate heat exchanger 4;

[0053] 2. The pipes connecting the various components are made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel pipes, to ensure the safety and stability of the transportation process;

[0054] 3. The control valve is a manual door, an electric door, or an automatic regulating control valve: used to regulate and isolate the drainage volume;

[0055] 4. Temperature sensor: accurately measures the temperature of plate heat exchanger 4 and raw water in order to monitor and control the heating process;

[0056] 5. Pressure sensor: Monitors the pressure in the heat exchange pipeline and the steam pressure;

[0057] 6. Insulation: Insulate the pipelines along the route to reduce heat loss and prevent burns to personnel;

[0058] 7. Flow meter: Confirm the continuous blowdown flow rate of the steam drum;

[0059] 8. One water pump (i.e., circulating pump 5), the size of which shall be determined according to actual needs.
