Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser descaling technology, and specifically discloses a condenser descaling and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In waste heat power generation systems, after long-term operation, fouling easily forms on the inner surface of the condenser tubes, severely affecting heat exchange efficiency. Currently, manual acid cleaning methods have many drawbacks, including high safety risks to personnel and equipment, low cleaning efficiency, and high labor intensity. Therefore, a more efficient and safe cleaning solution is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a condenser descaling and cleaning device to solve the technical problem of how to clean condensers.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A condenser descaling and cleaning device includes a water tank and a circulating pump. The circulating pump is connected to the water tank via a connecting pipe. The circulating pump is equipped with a water outlet pipe, which is connected to the condenser. The water outlet pipe is equipped with a first shut-off valve and a thermocouple. The first shut-off valve can disconnect the water outlet pipe from the condenser, and the thermocouple can detect the water temperature. The water tank is equipped with an external drain valve, a magnetic level gauge, an electric heater, an overflow hole, and a chemical dosing hole. The external drain valve can discharge wastewater. The electric heater is located at the bottom side of the water tank. The overflow hole is located at the top of the water tank, and the chemical dosing hole is located at the top of the water tank. The condenser is equipped with a return water pipe, which is connected to the water tank. The return water pipe is equipped with a second shut-off valve and a filter screen. The second shut-off valve can disconnect the return water pipe from the condenser, and the filter screen can filter impurities.

[0006] In this system, a circulating pump pumps the solution from the water tank into the condenser. The solution has a cleaning function, dissolving scale within the condenser. Simultaneously, the circulating pump also pumps water back to the tank for circulation. A magnetic level gauge displays the water level in the tank. An electric heater heats the water to 60°C. A thermocouple detects the water temperature; if the temperature is below the target, the heater can be restarted. An overflow port allows water to overflow when the level is too high. A dosing port facilitates the addition of citric acid to adjust the pH. An external drain valve discharges wastewater. The first and second shut-off valves disconnect the water tank from the outlet and return water pipes.

[0007] Optionally, a citric acid solution is added to the water tank, with the tank temperature maintained at 40-60℃ and the solution pH between 3 and 5. Citric acid is an organic acid with unique chemical properties. Its carboxyl group can undergo a complexation reaction with metal oxides to form water-soluble complexes; simultaneously, it also has good dissolving power for calcium and magnesium scale. This complexing and dissolving effect lays the chemical foundation for removing scale from the condenser tubes.

[0008] Optionally, a drain pipe is provided on the return water pipe. The drain pipe is rectangular in shape, and its two sides are connected to the return water pipe via flanges. The filter screen is installed inside the drain pipe, and a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the drain pipe, with a plug on the drain outlet. In this solution, the plug can be removed, and then the filter screen can be cleaned to avoid excessive dirt clogging the filter screen.

[0009] Optionally, the lower end of the filter screen is hinged inside the drain pipe, and the upper end of the plug is provided with a connecting steel wire, the top of which is connected to the top of the filter screen. With this design, when the plug is pulled out, the filter screen can be flipped downwards to allow the dirt to be flushed out by the water flow.

[0010] Optionally, the connecting wire is elastic.

[0011] Optionally, the connecting wire includes two rigid sections and one elastic section. The two rigid sections are respectively disposed on the plug and the filter screen, and the elastic section is disposed between and connected to the two rigid sections. Using this design, the connecting wire can effectively push the filter screen back to its original position, and the filter screen can automatically reset under the impact of water flow.

[0012] Optionally, the return water pipe is connected to the lower part of the water tank, and the outlet water pipe is connected to the middle part of the water tank. A buffer zone is provided at the bottom of the water tank. The buffer zone includes a vertical buffer plate, a horizontal isolation plate, and a horizontal isolation net. The buffer plate is located at the connection between the return water pipe and the water tank. The isolation plate is horizontally set at the lower part of the water tank with a gap between it and the buffer plate. The isolation net is horizontally set at the lower part of the water tank and above the isolation plate. With this design, the circulating water flow is blocked and buffered by the buffer plate, reducing the flow velocity and allowing dirt to remain below the isolation plate for easier subsequent cleaning. The isolation net also isolates some dirt, preventing it from re-entering the condenser.

[0013] The working principle and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows:

[0014] This solution reduces costs; it adopts online circulating cleaning, which improves cleaning efficiency; it avoids manual acid washing, which reduces safety risks to personnel and equipment; and it has good economic benefits and practical value.

[0015] Other advantages, objectives, and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following examination and study, or may be learned from practice of this invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the following description. Attached Figure Description
