[0003] 1. Low steam utilization rate: Steam is discharged directly after condensation, resulting in a large waste of heat energy;

[0004] 2. Limited heat exchange efficiency: The high temperature of steam condensate leads to a reduction in the heat exchange temperature difference when directly discharged, thus affecting the heat exchange efficiency.

[0005] 3. High operating costs: High steam consumption increases operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a plate heat exchanger efficiency enhancement device based on steam condensate circulation heating, which solves problems such as low steam utilization, limited heat exchange efficiency, and high operating costs in the prior art.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a plate heat exchanger enhancement device based on steam condensate circulation heating includes a plate heat exchanger 1, a circulation pump 2, a preheater 3, and a control system 4. Specifically,

[0026] The plate heat exchanger 1 includes a hot side and a cold side. The hot side is used to introduce steam, and the cold side is used to introduce the medium to be heated. The hot side includes a first hot side inlet 11 and a first hot side outlet 12. The first hot side inlet 11 is connected to a steam inlet pipe and is used to introduce steam. The first hot side outlet 12 is used to output condensate. The cold side includes a first medium inlet 13 and a first medium outlet 14.

[0027] The preheater 3 includes a hot side and a cold side. The hot side is used to introduce condensate and includes a second hot side inlet 31 and a second hot side outlet 32. The cold side is used to introduce the medium to be heated and includes a second medium inlet 33 and a second medium outlet 34.

[0028] The first hot-side outlet 12 of the plate heat exchanger 1 is connected to the inlet of the circulating pump 2 via a condensate outlet pipeline. The outlet of the circulating pump 2 is connected to the second hot-side inlet 31 of the preheater 3, for pumping condensate into the preheater 3. The second hot-side outlet 32 ​​of the preheater 3 is connected to the steam inlet pipeline.

[0029] The control system 4 is electrically connected to the plate heat exchanger 1, the circulating pump 2 and the preheater 3 respectively, and is used to control the flow rate of the circulating pump 2 and the temperature of the preheater 3 to realize the recycling of steam condensate.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Steam enters the hot side of plate heat exchanger 1 through the first hot side inlet 11, exchanges heat with the cold side medium to be heated that enters through the first cold side medium inlet 13, and condenses into water, which is then discharged from the first hot side outlet 12. The condensate is pumped by the circulating pump 2 into the second hot side inlet 31 of the preheater 3, where it exchanges heat with the cold side medium to be heated that is added through the second cold side medium inlet 33. The condensate after heat exchange returns to the steam pipeline through the second hot side outlet 32, mixes with fresh steam, and then re-enters the first hot side inlet 11 of plate heat exchanger 1, thus realizing the recycling of steam condensate.

[0032] Technical effect data

[0033] 1. Steam utilization rate: Increased by 20-30% (actual measurement data)

[0034] 2. Heat exchange efficiency: Improved by 15-25%

[0035] 3. Operating costs: Reduced by 10-15%

[0036] Implementation Example Optimization

[0037] 1. Process parameters:

[0038] - Steam pressure: 0.3-0.8 MPa

[0039] - Condensate temperature: 90-120℃

[0040] - Preheater outlet temperature: 60-80℃

[0041] 2. Detection method:

[0042] - Heat exchange efficiency is measured using a heat flow meter.

[0043] - Use a steam flow meter to monitor steam consumption

[0044] As can be seen, this invention can recover and utilize the waste heat in steam condensate by recycling it, thereby improving steam utilization. The preheated condensate, after mixing with fresh steam, enters the plate heat exchanger, which increases the hot-side inlet temperature, expands the heat exchange temperature difference, and improves heat exchange efficiency.

[0045] By recovering and utilizing the waste heat from condensate, the consumption of fresh steam can be reduced, thus lowering operating costs.

[0046] This invention can effectively reduce steam consumption and condensate discharge, and has significant energy-saving and emission-reduction effects.
