[0022] The purpose of this patent is to provide a device unit for recovering waste steam from a bleaching tower for lithium bromide refrigeration, so as to achieve efficient energy recovery and utilization while avoiding environmental impact caused by emissions.

[0023] Energy recovery and utilization: The heat from the exhaust steam of the bleaching tower is recycled back to the lithium bromide refrigeration system, achieving efficient energy recovery and utilization, reducing energy consumption in chemical pulp production, and improving economic efficiency.

[0024] Environmentally friendly and energy-saving: It reduces direct emissions of exhaust steam, thus lowering the environmental impact. Furthermore, lithium bromide refrigeration technology itself has advantages such as energy saving and environmental friendliness, further improving the system's environmental performance.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the heat recovery system of this application. The heat recovery system 10 in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the following structures: exhaust steam generating device 100, heat exchanger 200, and cooler 300.

[0026] Specifically, the heat exchanger 200 is connected to the exhaust steam output pipeline 110 of the exhaust steam generating device 100. The heat exchanger 200 is used to transfer the heat of the exhaust steam to the hot water and deliver the hot water to the cooler 300. The cooler 300 uses the heat in the hot water to cool it and delivers the hot water after heat exchange back to the heat exchanger 200 for reheating. This cycle is repeated to realize the utilization of the heat of the exhaust steam generated in the exhaust steam generating device 100.

[0027] Optionally, the waste steam generating device 100 in this embodiment can be a bleaching tower used for pulp treatment in the papermaking process. In a specific embodiment, it can be used to utilize the waste heat of the waste steam from the chemimechanical pulp bleaching tower. After filtration, this steam is heated to 90°C by a heat exchanger 200 (a plate heat exchanger) and then enters a chiller 300 for cooling, producing 7°C cold water which is sent to a cooling device 400 (specifically, it can be sent to the pulp mill's chilled water network to replace electric air conditioning for cooling; after cooling and heat exchange, the cold water is returned to the chiller for further cooling). Replacing "waste heat" with cooling capacity to replace electric chillers saves electricity and achieves energy conservation, emission reduction, and carbon reduction. This not only brings economic benefits from energy conservation but also serves as a model for industrial carbon reduction, contributing to national carbon neutrality.

[0028] Optionally, the refrigerator in this embodiment can be a hot water type lithium bromide refrigerator. The refrigeration process of the hot water type lithium bromide refrigerator mainly includes the following steps:

[0029] 1. Heating dilute solution: Low-energy hot water from the device flows through the heat transfer tube of the generator, heating the dilute lithium bromide solution outside the tube, causing it to produce refrigerant vapor, and the solution is concentrated into a concentrated solution.

[0030] 2. Condensing refrigerant vapor: Refrigerant vapor from the generator enters the condenser and is condensed into refrigerant water by the cooling water flowing through the heat transfer tubes of the condenser. The heat is carried into the cooling water system.

[0031] 3. Evaporative Refrigerant Water: After being throttled through a U-shaped tube, the refrigerant water enters the evaporator. It flashes and cools down inside the evaporator before flowing into the evaporator refrigerant water pan. The refrigerant water entering the evaporative refrigerant water pan is then pumped out by the refrigerant pump and sprayed onto the surface of the evaporator heat transfer tubes. It absorbs heat from the cold water flowing through the heat transfer tubes and boils, evaporating into refrigerant vapor.

[0032] 4. Absorption of refrigerant vapor: The generated refrigerant vapor enters the absorber and is absorbed by the concentrated solution returning to the absorber. The heat released during the absorption process is carried away by the cooling water flowing through the heat transfer tubes of the absorber and is then carried into the cooling water system.

[0033] 5. Cooling water: After the heat is carried away by the refrigerant water, the temperature of the cooling water decreases, and it flows out of the unit and into the cooling water system.

[0034] The cycle process: After absorbing the refrigerant vapor, the concentration of the concentrated solution decreases, becoming a dilute solution, which is then pumped back to the generator for heating and concentration.

[0035] This process is repeated continuously, and the evaporator continuously produces cold water at the required temperature. The hot water type lithium bromide refrigerator is a commonly used device in this field. This patent does not involve improvements to this device, and its detailed structure is within the understanding of those skilled in the art, so it will not be described further here.

[0036] The heat exchanger 200 is connected to the exhaust steam output pipeline 110 via a first pipeline 210 and a second pipeline 220. The first pipeline 210 is used for air intake, and the second pipeline 220 is used for exhaust. A first valve 201 (Z1 in the figure) is provided on the first pipeline 210, a second valve 202 (Z2 in the figure) is provided on the second pipeline 220, and a third valve 103 (Z3 in the figure) is provided on the exhaust steam output pipeline 110. The third valve 103 is located between the connection point of the first pipeline 210, the second pipeline 220 and the exhaust steam output pipeline 110.

[0037] A waste heat recovery device (heat exchanger 200) is added to the bypass exhaust steam pipeline. The heat exchanger 200 is installed on the newly built bypass exhaust steam pipeline. Once the heat exchanger 200 and related exhaust steam pipelines are installed, a hole is drilled to connect the bypass exhaust steam pipeline to the existing exhaust steam pipeline at a later time. A control valve (third valve 103) is added to the original main exhaust steam pipeline, thus minimizing the impact on production during the entire installation process. During normal operation, control valve Z3 on the main exhaust steam pipeline is closed, while Z1 and Z2 are open. The exhaust steam from the top of the bleaching tower passes through valve Z1, then sequentially through the waste heat recovery device and Z2, achieving cooling and condensation. The condensate is discharged back to the wood chip washing system. Z3 is used for switching during system failures or maintenance. In this embodiment, the (plate) heat exchanger 200 uses a cold-side hot water temperature control to regulate the exhaust gas pressure, ensuring that the original system process is not affected.

[0038] Optionally, since the exhaust steam from the bleaching tower contains fibers and some chemicals, the heat exchanger 200 in this embodiment can be a plate contact heat exchanger with stainless steel plates. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of pulp fibers, steam, and trace amounts of acids and alkalis by the plates, ensuring the service life of the heat exchanger. The plate surface is provided with a passivation layer or an electrochemical polishing layer to reduce surface roughness, decrease the friction between the fibers and the plates, and thus reduce the adhesion and bonding of pulp fibers to the plates, reducing clogging problems. The equipment is equipped with a spray device, and the spray frequency and spray time are determined according to the clogging situation of the plates. This application mainly improves the surface and material of the plates. Detailed structural features of the plate contact heat exchanger are common knowledge in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0039] In addition, the heat recovery system in this embodiment may also include a control device and a control system. The system is equipped with a microcomputer intelligent control system, capable of stepless adjustment of the load from 20% to 100% according to load changes, with the system outlet temperature fed back to the control system in real time. Control methods: Both local control and remote monitoring can be used. Local control is adopted during commissioning and communication failure phases, while centralized monitoring is implemented in the DCS control room during normal operation. Automation level of the control system: With the assistance of a small number of on-site inspection personnel, operators can monitor and operate the system from the control room via a remote transmission system, enabling monitoring and adjustment of system equipment startup, shutdown, and normal operation, as well as handling system anomalies and accidents. Fault alarm: The control system monitors unit alarm faults in real time and can store past faults, including fault type, occurrence time, recovery time, pump running time, etc.

[0040] The heat recovery system provided in this application has the purpose of saving energy consumption (saving the original refrigeration energy consumption) to reduce operating costs. The waste heat and exhaust steam achieve closed-loop cooling, reducing heat emissions and carbon emissions. It is environmentally friendly, does not generate new pollution emissions, complies with the national energy conservation and environmental protection policies, has obvious economic and social benefits, and has good application prospects.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the heat recovery system of this application.

The cooler 300 uses the heat in the hot water to cool it and delivers the hot water after heat exchange back to the heat exchanger 200 for reheating. This cycle is repeated to realize the utilization of the heat of the exhaust steam generated in the exhaust steam generating device 100.

The third valve 103 is located between the connection point of the first pipeline 210, the second pipeline 220 and the exhaust steam output pipeline 110.

[0053] A waste heat recovery device (heat exchanger 200) is added to the bypass exhaust steam pipeline. The heat exchanger 200 is installed on the newly built bypass exhaust steam pipeline.

[0056] Unlike the previous embodiments, the heat recovery system in this embodiment also includes a cooling tower 500, which is connected to the chiller 300 and used to cool the chiller 300. Cooling water flow: Utilizing the existing cooling tower in the chemical machinery and pulp workshop, the 32°C circulating cooling water, after being cooled by the cooling tower, is sent to the chiller unit to remove heat and raise its temperature, then returns to the cooling tower to cool down, and so on.

[0057] In addition, in this embodiment, the heat recovery system is equipped with a pressure detector 800 (marked as PT in the figure) on the main exhaust steam pipeline (exhaust steam output pipeline 110) to measure the pressure of the exhaust steam pipeline. When the waste heat recovery equipment is put into operation, the hot water temperature is controlled by the cold side regulating valve. While the exhaust steam is condensed, the pressure at the connection between the main pipeline and the bypass pipeline is the same as the pressure before the waste heat recovery equipment was used, maintaining the original state inside the bleaching tower.

[0058] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the heat recovery system of this application. Unlike the previous embodiment, the heat recovery system in this embodiment also includes a waste steam condensate recovery device 600, which is connected to the heat exchanger 200 and is used to recover steam condensate.

[0059] In this embodiment, the heat recovery system also includes an electric chiller 700. The cooling device 400 is connected in parallel with the electric chiller 700. Under normal working conditions, the cooling device 400 uses the waste steam recovery and utilization equipment (heat exchanger 200 and chiller 300) for cooling. If the waste steam recovery and utilization equipment is damaged or shut down, the electric chiller 700 can be used for emergency use to ensure that the cooling device 400 always has a stable cold source.

[0060] Additionally, this application also provides a pulp production line; please refer to [link to relevant documentation].

The pulp production line first performs wood chip washing (401), followed by impregnation (402), high-consistency refining (403), fiber centrifugation (404), and a medium-consistency bleaching tower (405). The heat recovery system 10 in this embodiment mainly recovers and reuses the exhaust steam generated in the medium-consistency bleaching tower (405).
