Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat energy recovery and steam compression utilization technology, specifically to a waste heat gas heat recovery steam compression system. Background Technology
[0002] This industry heavily utilizes steam for dehydration and drying of materials, currently generating two types of waste heat: one part is condensed water from production steam that is cooled and then discharged; the other part is waste heat steam generated from production that is cooled by air cooling and then treated before being released into the atmosphere. This wastes energy and increases the cost of waste heat treatment.
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a waste heat gas heat recovery steam compression system, which solves the issues of low recovery efficiency and high cost of previous waste heat gas heat recovery steam compression systems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a waste heat gas heat recovery steam compression system, which aims to improve recovery efficiency and reduce costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:
[0006] A waste heat gas heat recovery steam compression system includes a steam heat exchanger, a vapor-liquid separator, and a steam compressor connected in sequence by pipelines. A return pipeline is provided between the vapor-liquid separator and the steam heat exchanger, and a circulation pump is provided on the return pipeline.
[0007] Preferably, the steam heat exchanger is provided with a waste heat gas inlet and a waste heat gas outlet.
[0008] Preferably, the waste heat gas inlet and the waste heat gas outlet are used for outputting waste heat gas and introducing waste heat gas, respectively.
[0009] Preferably, the vapor-liquid separation tower is provided with a condensate inlet and a condensate outlet.
[0010] Preferably, the condensate outlet is connected to a condensate storage tank via a pipe.
[0011] Preferably, a drain pump is installed on the pipeline between the condensate outlet and the condensate storage tank.
[0012] Preferably, the steam compressor is a centrifugal steam compressor.
[0013] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:
[0014] This invention first discharges the production condensate into a vapor-liquid separator. A circulating pump then sends the condensate to a steam-water heat exchanger to convert the heat from the waste steam into the condensate. Steam is continuously generated between the heat exchanger and the vapor-liquid separator through a circulating pump. A steam compressor draws steam from the vapor-liquid separator and compresses it to meet the steam requirements for production. At the same time, industrial steam is introduced to the steam compressor inlet as compensation steam to mitigate the adverse effects of sudden shutdowns of production equipment. When the condensate level in the vapor-liquid separator exceeds the high level, a drain pump is started and stopped at the low level to discharge the condensate into a temporary storage tank for later use.
