Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the industrial field, and in particular to a waste heat recovery system for a BDO condensate system. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of BDO (1,4-butanediol) from formaldehyde and acetylene generates a large amount of condensate, primarily from the condensate produced after the distillation system's 2.3 MPa steam is used for heating. The condensate flow rate is approximately 100 t / h, and the temperature can reach 98-100℃. Currently, the condensate is typically cooled by circulating water in a condensate heat exchanger and then sent to public utilities for recycling. However, in practice, there are instances where the waste heat from the condensate is not fully recovered and utilized.

[0003] Heating heat exchangers typically supply steam at one end, and the steam transfers heat to the heating circuits via the heating heat exchange station. This method usually consumes 0.5 MPa of steam for heating, resulting in relatively high energy consumption.

[0004] In view of the actual problems of incomplete recovery and utilization of waste heat in BDO condensate system and high energy consumption of heating heat exchangers, this utility model uses the waste heat of steam condensate generated by BDO production unit to heat the heating pipeline, so as to make full use of the waste heat of steam condensate and save energy consumption.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are: the waste heat of steam condensate in the BDO production process is used to heat the heating heat exchanger and exchange heat with the heating pipeline, replacing the traditional 0.5MPa steam consumption, and significantly reducing energy costs.

This avoids heat waste, reduces the condensate delivery temperature, and decreases the subsequent cooling load.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes: a condensate return water pipeline, one end of which is connected to the return pipeline, and the other end of which is connected to the condensate input pipeline.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are: forming a closed-loop regulation system, controlling the condensate flow rate of the heating heat exchanger through reflux, avoiding a sudden drop in condensate temperature that would reduce heat exchange efficiency, and ensuring stable delivery of condensate to the downstream recovery node.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: achieving precise flow regulation: dynamically allocating the destination of condensate according to heating demand (all sent out or part returned), ensuring stable heating temperature, and adapting to changes in heat load in different seasons.

[0015] Furthermore, the condensate supply pipeline is connected to one end of the condensate input pipeline, and the condensate return pipeline is connected to the other end of the condensate input pipeline.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are: optimizing the fluid path, ensuring that the high-temperature condensate preferentially enters the heating heat exchanger, and the low-temperature condensate returns from the downstream point after heat exchange, thus avoiding heat loss caused by the mixing of hot and cold fluids.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes: a temperature sensor and a controller, wherein the temperature sensor is installed on the heating water supply pipe, and the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the first switching valve; The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: to achieve fully automatic temperature control, to monitor the temperature of heating pipes in real time, to dynamically adjust the condensate return flow through valve opening, to maintain a constant heating temperature, to reduce manual intervention and improve system reliability.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes: a fifth valve, the first end, the second end, and the third end of the fifth valve being connected to the supply pipeline, the condensate water supply pipeline, and the first steam pipeline, respectively. The fifth valve can be switched to connect the condensate water supply pipeline to the supply pipeline, or the first steam pipeline to the supply pipeline, or both the condensate water supply pipeline and the first steam pipeline to the supply pipeline.

[0025] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are as follows: By using the fifth valve, the connection between the condensate supply pipeline and the supply pipeline can be switched so that the condensate supply pipeline supplies the supply pipeline alone; or the connection between the first steam pipeline and the supply pipeline can be switched so that the first steam pipeline supplies the supply pipeline alone; or the connection between the condensate supply pipeline and the first steam pipeline can be switched so that both the condensate supply pipeline and the first steam pipeline supply the supply pipeline together.

[0028] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a waste heat recovery system for a BDO condensate system, including: Heating heat exchanger 1 has a first side and a second side for exchanging heat with each other. The inlet and outlet of the first side are respectively connected to the supply pipe 11 and the return pipe 12, and the inlet and outlet of the second side are respectively connected to the heating return water pipe 13 and the heating supply water pipe 14. The condensate supply pipeline 2 has one end connected to the condensate input pipeline 3, which is used to transport the steam condensate generated by the BDO production unit. The other end of the condensate supply pipeline 2 is connected to the supply pipeline 11, so that the steam condensate generated by the BDO production unit is transported through the supply pipeline 11 to the first side and exchanged with the second side before being discharged from the return pipeline 12.

[0030] The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model uses the waste heat of steam condensate in the BDO production process to supply heat to the heating heat exchanger 1 and exchange heat with the heating pipeline, replacing the traditional 0.5MPa steam consumption and significantly reducing energy costs.

[0031] Specifically, the heating return water pipe 13 is used for water supply, and the heating supply water pipe 14 is used for drainage. During the BDO production process, the waste heat of the steam condensate is exchanged in the heating heat exchanger 1 and then transferred through the heating supply water pipe 14 for heating.

[0032] Specifically, a condensate delivery pump 15 is installed on the condensate input pipeline 3 to deliver the condensate from the condensate input pipeline 3 to the condensate water supply pipeline 2.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes: a condensate heat exchanger 4, which has a third side and a fourth side for heat exchange with each other. The inlet and outlet of the third side are respectively connected to the circulating water supply pipeline 41 and the circulating water return pipeline 42. The inlet and outlet of the fourth side are respectively connected to the condensate input pipeline 3 and the condensate output pipeline 5. The condensate input by the condensate input pipeline 3 is discharged from the condensate output pipeline 5 after heat exchange.

[0034] The above technical solution enables the cascade utilization of waste heat. The high-temperature condensate is first used to provide heating, and then cooled to a recoverable temperature by circulating water in the condensate heat exchanger 4. This avoids heat waste, reduces the condensate delivery temperature, and decreases the subsequent cooling load.

[0035] Specifically, the circulating water supply pipe 41 is used for supplying water, and the circulating water return pipe 42 is used for draining water.

[0036] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes: a condensate return water pipeline 6, one end of which is connected to the return pipeline 12, and the other end of which is connected to the condensate input pipeline 3.

[0037] The above technical solution forms a closed-loop regulation system. By controlling the condensate flow rate of the heating heat exchanger 1 through reflux, the heat exchange efficiency is reduced due to a sudden drop in condensate temperature, while ensuring that the condensate is stably transported to the downstream recovery node.

[0038] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes: a first switching valve 7, which is disposed on the condensate return water pipeline 6 and is used to control the flow rate of the condensate return water pipeline 6; When the first switching valve 7 is completely closed, the condensate return water pipeline 6 is disconnected from the return pipeline 12; When the first switching valve 7 is fully open, the condensate return water pipeline 6 is connected to the return pipeline 12; Part or all of the discharge from the return pipe 12 is returned to the condensate input pipe 3 via the condensate return water pipe 6.

[0039] The above technical solution enables precise flow regulation: the destination of condensate is dynamically allocated according to heating demand (all sent out or part returned), ensuring stable heating temperature and adapting to changes in heat load in different seasons.

[0040] Based on the above technical solution, the condensate supply pipe 2 is connected to one end of the condensate input pipe 3, and the condensate return pipe 6 is connected to the other end of the condensate input pipe 3.

[0041] By using the above technical solution, the fluid path is optimized to ensure that the high-temperature condensate preferentially enters the heating heat exchanger 1, and the low-temperature condensate returns from the downstream point after heat exchange, thus avoiding heat loss caused by the mixing of hot and cold fluids.

[0042] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes: a temperature sensor 18 and a controller 19. The temperature sensor 18 is installed on the heating water supply pipe 14 and is used to measure the temperature on the heating water supply pipe 14. The controller 19 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 18 and the first switching valve 7. The controller 19 controls the opening of the first switching valve 7 based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 18, so as to control the flow rate of the condensate return water pipeline 6.

[0043] The above technical solution enables fully automatic temperature control, real-time monitoring of heating pipe temperature, dynamic adjustment of condensate return flow through valve opening, maintaining constant heating temperature, reducing manual intervention and improving system reliability.

[0044] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes: a second switching valve 8, which is disposed on the condensate supply water pipeline 2 and is used to control the condensate supply water pipeline 2 to be fully connected or partially connected or disconnected from the supply pipeline 11.

[0045] The above technical solutions can enhance system flexibility, allowing for rapid cutoff of condensate supply (such as during non-heating seasons) or adjustment of the condensate / steam mixing ratio to adapt to complex operating conditions.

[0046] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes: a first steam pipeline 9 and a second steam pipeline 10, wherein the first steam pipeline 9 is connected to the supply pipeline 11; and the second steam pipeline 10 is connected to the return pipeline 12.

[0047] The above technical solutions construct a dual-heat-source redundant system, which automatically switches to steam for supplementary heating when the condensate heat is insufficient, ensuring heating stability under extreme weather conditions; the valve control design avoids heat source interference.

[0048] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes: a third valve 16 and a fourth valve 17. The third valve 16 is disposed on the first steam pipeline 9 and is used to control the first steam pipeline 9 to be fully connected or partially connected or disconnected from the supply pipeline 11. The fourth valve 17 is disposed on the second steam pipeline 10 and is used to control the second steam pipeline 10 to be fully connected or partially connected or disconnected from the return pipeline 12.

[0049] By employing the aforementioned technical solutions, precise control of the steam pipeline flow rate and opening degree can be achieved, thereby enabling precise control of the heat source supply, improving control accuracy, and reducing energy consumption.

[0050] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes: a fifth valve 20, the first end, the second end and the third end of the fifth valve 20 being connected to the supply pipeline 11, the condensate water supply pipeline 2 and the first steam pipeline 9 respectively. The fifth valve 20 can be switched to connect the condensate water supply pipeline 2 to the supply pipeline 11, or the first steam pipeline 9 to the supply pipeline 11, or the condensate water supply pipeline 2 and the first steam pipeline 9 to the supply pipeline 11.

[0051] Through the above technical solution, the fifth valve 20 switches the connection between the condensate supply pipeline 2 and the supply pipeline 11, so that the condensate supply pipeline 2 supplies water to the supply pipeline 11 alone; or switches the connection between the first steam pipeline 9 and the supply pipeline 11, so that the first steam pipeline 9 supplies water to the supply pipeline 11 alone; or switches the connection between the condensate supply pipeline 2 and the first steam pipeline 9, so that the condensate supply pipeline 2 and the first steam pipeline 9 supply water to the supply pipeline 11 together. Thus, the corresponding control mode can be determined according to the actual situation, fully adapting to control requirements and saving energy consumption.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model fully utilizes the waste heat of the condensate in the heating heat exchanger 1 by setting up a condensate water supply pipeline 2 and a condensate return water pipeline 6, thereby saving steam consumption.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the first steam pipeline 9 and the second steam pipeline 10 are closed, and the steam from the original heating heat exchange station is cut off. The condensate inlet pipeline 2 and the condensate return pipeline 6 are opened, allowing heat exchange between the steam condensate and the heating pipelines, recovering the waste heat from the condensate. After heat exchange, the condensate enters the condensate return pipeline 6, then enters the condensate heat exchanger 4, and is discharged through the condensate pipeline.

[0054] In this embodiment of the utility model, the heating heat exchanger 1 adopts an automatic temperature control system. The condensate return water pipeline 6 of the heating heat exchange station is equipped with an automatic regulating valve. By setting a thermocouple temperature detection in the heating water supply pipeline 14 as a feedback signal, a logical relationship is set with the automatic control valve to adjust the opening of the regulating valve, thereby realizing automatic control of the water supply temperature of the heating heat exchanger 1.

[0055] This embodiment of the invention utilizes the waste heat of the condensate system to heat the return water of the heating heat exchange station, which can reduce steam consumption and save energy. On the other hand, after the heat from the condensate system is exchanged through the heating heat exchanger, the load on the condensate external circulating water heat exchanger is reduced, saving circulating water consumption.
