Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste heat recovery devices, specifically a waste heat recovery device for exhaust steam from a steam condensate tank. Background Technology

[0002] In the urea section, when the high-temperature condensate flow rate is 60-70 t / h and the temperature is 120-130℃, there will be visual pollution of "white dragon".

[0003] Traditional heat recovery devices often employ a single-stage heat exchange structure, achieving heat exchange between exhaust steam and cooling water through only a single condenser, resulting in insufficient heat recovery. Because exhaust steam contains a large amount of latent heat (e.g., the latent heat of vaporization of saturated steam accounts for more than 70% of the total heat), single-stage heat exchange cannot fully release this energy, causing the discharged condensate to remain at a high temperature (typically >100℃), with a waste heat utilization rate of less than 60%. The unrecovered heat is directly discharged with the exhaust steam, not only wasting energy but also causing an increase in workshop ambient temperature due to the high-temperature exhaust steam discharge, affecting worker comfort.

[0035] Furthermore, the waste heat recovery assembly also includes two L-shaped support frames 16, with a condenser 7 and a separator 9 fixedly connected to the left side of the two L-shaped support frames 16 respectively, and the separator 9 is located on the rear side of the condenser 7.
