[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of boiler technology, and specifically relates to a boiler deaerator. Background Technology

[0002] During boiler operation, dissolved oxygen in the feedwater can cause severe corrosion to the boiler system, affecting its safe operation and service life. Traditional boiler deaerators have certain shortcomings in terms of deoxygenation effect, working efficiency, and equipment operational stability. For example, the water distribution and steam distribution devices of some deaerators are not optimized in structure, resulting in poor mixing of water and steam and affecting deoxygenation efficiency. At the same time, the monitoring and control of parameters such as liquid level and temperature during equipment operation are not precise enough, which can easily lead to problems such as excessive liquid level fluctuations and abnormal temperatures, thereby affecting the deoxygenation effect and safe operation of the equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a boiler deaerator with a reasonable structure, good deoxygenation effect, stable operation, and the ability to effectively monitor and control operating parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model discloses a boiler deaerator. Through the spiral guide plate of the swirl water distribution unit, the incoming water flow is made to rotate strongly and thrown towards the inner wall of the shell under the action of centrifugal force, forming a uniform water film, which increases the contact area between water and steam and improves the deaeration effect.

[0007] Based on the above technical features, preferably, a baffle demister is provided inside the exhaust port, and the baffle demister is composed of multiple layers of staggered stainless steel corrugated plates.

[0008] Based on the above technical features, preferably, the inner wall of the annular water collection tank is lined with a thick silicon carbide wear-resistant layer, and the lower surface of the conical distribution plate is welded with a tortoise shell mesh and then sprayed with an alumina ceramic coating.

Furthermore, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, a boiler deaerator includes a vertical cylindrical shell 100, a swirling water distribution unit 200, and an umbrella-shaped steam distributor 300. The swirling water distribution unit 200 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the shell 100 and consists of a spiral guide plate 210 and an annular water collecting trough 220 located directly above it. The annular water collecting trough 220 distributes the incoming water into a uniform circumferential overflow, and the spiral guide plate 210 converts the overflow water into a rotating thin water film. The umbrella-shaped steam distributor 300 is preferably located 300-500mm below the swirling water distribution unit 200 and includes a conical distribution plate 310 coaxially arranged with the shell 100, a central steam pipe 320, and at least 3 A radial branch pipe 330 is provided, which has a steam outlet facing the conical distribution plate 310; the top of the shell 100 is provided with an exhaust port 700, the upper part of the side wall is provided with a steam inlet 400 connected to the central steam pipe 320, the middle part of the side wall is provided with a boiler connection port 500 connected to the annular water collection tank 220, and the bottom is provided with a deoxygenated water outlet 600.

[0016] The spiral guide plate 210 has a continuous spiral curved surface structure with a spiral angle of 55°-65°, and its outer edge is welded to the inner wall of the shell 100; the annular water collection tank 220 is fixed by a stainless steel bracket 221, and the water inlet pipe 222 passes through the side wall of the shell and communicates with the annular water collection tank 220.

[0017] The cone-shaped distribution plate 310 preferably has a cone angle of 90°-120°, and the cone surface is evenly distributed with through holes 311, the diameter of which is preferably 5-8mm. One end of the radial branch pipe 330 is vertically welded to the lower part of the central steam pipe 320, and the other end is inclined downward at 25°-35° and welded to the inner wall of the shell 100.

[0018] A baffle demister 710 is installed inside the exhaust port 700. The baffle demister 710 is composed of multiple layers of staggered stainless steel corrugated plates. The preferred spacing between the corrugated plates is 10-15mm. It can effectively remove water droplets carried in the exhaust, prevent water droplet loss, and improve the working efficiency and safety of the deaerator.

[0019] The inner wall of the annular water collection tank 220 is lined with a 2mm thick silicon carbide wear-resistant layer 223, and the lower surface of the conical distribution plate 310 is welded with a tortoise shell mesh and then sprayed with an alumina ceramic coating 312, which greatly enhances the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the components, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0020] Temperature measurement holes are provided on the lower side wall of the housing 100, and a PT100 temperature sensor 800 is built in. The sensor probe extends to the central axis of the housing, which can accurately monitor the temperature changes inside the housing, provide important parameters for equipment operation monitoring, facilitate timely detection and handling of abnormal situations, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment.

[0021] The bottom of the shell 100 is welded with a saddle-type support 110. The base plate of the support has two elongated hole mounting slots 111. The length of the holes is perpendicular to the axis of the shell, which makes the equipment installation more convenient and stable, and can adapt to a certain range of foundation unevenness, thereby improving the installation quality and operational stability of the equipment.

[0022] Working principle: The spiral guide plate of the vortex water distribution unit adopts a continuous spiral curved surface structure, which makes the incoming water flow generate strong rotation. Under the action of centrifugal force, it is thrown towards the inner wall of the shell to form a uniform water film, which increases the contact area between water and steam and improves the deoxygenation effect.

[0023] As the rotating water film falls, its surface area increases. Steam through the through-holes of the conical distribution plate comes into countercurrent contact with the water film. Dissolved oxygen diffuses from the water film to the vapor phase due to Henry's law. The rotation of the water film generates centrifugal force, which accelerates the release of oxygen. This allows the steam to be sprayed upwards evenly and mix thoroughly with the rotating water flow, forming a good countercurrent contact environment between water and steam. This enhances the deoxygenation process and effectively reduces the dissolved oxygen content in the water.

[0024] Fresh steam enters the central steam pipe 320 from the steam inlet 400, and is injected at high speed through the radial branch pipe 330 that is inclined downward at 30°. It impacts the lower surface of the umbrella-shaped distribution plate 310. Part of it goes upward from the through hole, and part of it diffuses radially along the conical surface. When it encounters the bottom wall of the shell, it turns back upward. The returned steam and the water film form turbulent shear, realizing enhanced mass transfer by active penetration of the vapor phase into the liquid phase. This is the secondary deoxygenation process.

[0025] The water, after being deoxygenated twice, falls into the lower water storage area of ​​the shell (100) and undergoes static residence deoxygenation for 5-10 minutes at a saturation temperature of 104℃@0.12MPa.

[0026] The oxygen / non-condensable gas released during the deoxygenation process rises to the top, and after water droplets are intercepted by the baffle demister 710, it is discharged from the exhaust port 700.

[0027] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings merely illustrate the technical concept of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and all such improvements and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
