[0024] The workflow is explained in detail below:

[0025] I. Thermal fluid path (heat release):

[0026] Source: Condensate from medium and low pressure steam in the production unit is collected in condensate collection tank 3 through pipelines.

[0027] Pressurization: The condensate transfer pump 17 starts to extract the condensate from the tank.

[0028] Metering: The flow rate passing through flow meter 9 is recorded.

[0029] Heat exchange (heat release): High-temperature condensate enters the designated flow channel of plate heat exchanger assembly 6. Inside the plate heat exchanger, heat is transferred through metal plates to the low-temperature water-containing condensate on the other side, and the temperature of the condensate itself decreases.

[0030] Destination: The cooled condensate leaves the heat exchanger, flows through the one-way valve 11, and finally enters the recycled water tank 8, where it is reused as high-quality recycled water.

[0031] II. Cold fluid path (heat absorption):

[0032] Source: In the slice collection tank 15, the slices are separated from the water, and the resulting water containing monohydrate accumulates at the bottom of the tank or at a specific location.

[0033] Pressurization: The single-water recovery pump 12 is started to extract the single-water from the tank.

[0034] Metering: The flow rate passing through flow meter 9 is recorded.

[0035] Heat exchange (heat absorption): Low-temperature water containing single-phase water enters another set of channels in plate heat exchanger assembly 6 (alternating with the condensate channels). Inside the plate heat exchanger, it absorbs heat from the high-temperature condensate, and its own temperature rises significantly.

[0036] Destination: The heated water containing monohydrate leaves the heat exchanger and enters the extraction water collection tank 4 for buffering.

[0037] Subsequent processing: Extraction water recovery pump 7 draws the heated monomer-containing water from collection tank 4 and sends it to subsequent monomer recovery units (such as distillation columns) or wastewater treatment units. Heating helps improve monomer recovery efficiency or accelerate biochemical reaction rates.

[0038] III. Slice Processing Path (Related Process): Hot slices from pelletizer 16 fall into slice collection tank 15. Slice delivery pump 14 at the bottom of the tank is started, and the slices are mixed with some water through slice extraction delivery pipe 13 to form a slurry, which is then pumped to the extraction tower for further processing.

[0039] In summary, this plate heat exchanger based on condensate and single-phase water treatment features a compact structure, high efficiency, energy saving and emission reduction, and good operational stability. It achieves heat recovery between single-phase water and process condensate through plate heat exchange, while simultaneously completing the initial transport and extraction preparation of the slices.

[0040] Using a plate heat exchanger as the core, the system couples the treatment of waste heat (steam condensate) and wastewater (including single-phase water) generated during the production process, turning waste into treasure—recovering heat and saving energy, recycling water resources, and optimizing subsequent processes. Meanwhile, through sophisticated instrumentation and valve design, the system's safe, stable, and efficient operation is ensured.
