Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy-saving heat recovery technology, specifically a new energy-saving heat recovery system. Background Technology
[0002] Formaldehyde circulation towers are mainly used to treat formaldehyde waste gas. They have the advantages of high efficiency purification, energy saving and environmental protection, recyclability and safety and reliability. They are widely used in the treatment of formaldehyde waste gas in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, paint and rubber. The main function of the formaldehyde circulation tower is to treat waste gas. The formaldehyde circulation tower uses a spray absorption method and a packing layer to increase the contact area between the waste gas and the absorption liquid, effectively removing formaldehyde from the waste gas and converting it into harmless substances, thereby purifying the air.
[0003] In the original process, the high-heat gaseous material at the top of the formaldehyde circulation tower (temperature 145℃) is directly cooled by a contact condenser, and its high heat is carried away by the circulating cooling water. The high heat loss results in a significant loss of economic benefits. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new energy-saving heat recovery system. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new energy-saving heat recovery system. The system introduces the top gas phase of the circulating tower into a top plate heat exchanger, using this top gas phase to heat the water in the heat exchanger to boiling. Forced circulation occurs between the top plate heat exchanger and the separator via a circulating pump, generating water vapor that absorbs the latent heat of vaporization from the top gas phase. After releasing its latent heat, the top gas phase condenses into a liquid state at a high temperature of 138°C. The water vapor generated by the top plate heat exchanger and the separator, being lower than the bottom temperature, is introduced into a compressor. Through the cooperation of the compressor and the top condensate preheater, the water vapor is compressed to a pressure of 1000 kPa and a temperature of 175.38°C, which is then supplied to the reboiler. To solve the above technical problems, according to one aspect of this utility model, the following technical solution is provided:
[0006] A new energy-saving heat recovery system includes:
[0007] As a connecting base, the tower is equipped with a circulation tower, and gas phase pipeline one and gas phase pipeline two are respectively connected to the outside of the circulation tower.

[0009] The compressor, connected to the tower, compresses and heats the water vapor generated by the plate heat exchanger at the top of the tower and the separation tower.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the new energy-saving heat recovery system described in this utility model, the top plate heat exchanger is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the separation tower, and the two sets of separation towers are connected to the circulating pump through a gas phase pipeline, and the gas phase outlet of the separation tower is connected to a connecting pipe.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the new energy-saving heat recovery system described in this utility model, the compressor includes a compressor connected to the bottom of the tower, the compressor input port is connected to the output port of the condensate preheater at the top of the tower, the compressor output port is connected to a second pipe, and the other end of the second pipe is connected to a reboiler.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the new energy-saving heat recovery system described in this utility model, the tower top plate heat exchanger is a fully welded plate heat exchanger, which consists of multiple sets of metal waveguides, rubber gaskets, fixed clamping plates, movable clamping plates, upper and lower guide rods and clamping screws. The heat exchanger plates are made of titanium and stainless steel composite plates, and the double sealing of rubber gaskets and welding process ensures corrosion resistance and long-term sealing performance.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The overhead vapor phase is introduced into the overhead plate heat exchanger, which heats the water in the heat exchanger to boiling. The overhead plate heat exchanger and the separator are forcibly circulated by a circulating pump, generating water vapor that absorbs the latent heat of vaporization from the overhead vapor phase. After releasing the latent heat of vaporization, the overhead vapor phase condenses into a liquid at a high temperature of 138°C. The water vapor generated by the overhead plate heat exchanger and the separator, since its temperature is lower than that of the bottom of the column, is introduced into the compressor. Through the cooperation of the compressor and the overhead condensate preheater, the water vapor is compressed to a pressure of 1000 kPaA and a temperature of 175.38°C, and then supplied to the reboiler.
