The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0031] This utility model provides a comprehensive steam utilization system for the secondary cooling chamber of a continuous casting machine, which includes a gas treatment pipeline 100. The gas treatment pipeline 100 has a steam collection section 101, a pretreatment section 102, a heat exchange section, and a waste heat and moisture elimination section 105 in sequence. The inlet section of the gas treatment pipeline 100 is connected to the exhaust steam vent of the secondary cooling chamber to form the steam collection section 101. The pretreatment section 102 is equipped with a dust collector 108 for dust removal. The heat exchange section is equipped with a heat exchanger and is connected to a heat medium pipeline 200 through the heat exchanger. The outlet section of the gas treatment pipeline 100 is connected to the manual operation area 112 of the continuous casting machine casting platform to form the waste heat and moisture elimination section 105.
[0032] The continuous casting machine secondary cooling chamber steam comprehensive utilization system described in this utility model can make full use of the waste heat resources in the secondary cooling chamber steam. The heat medium after heat exchange can be used for heating and / or cooling, and the filtered, heat-exchanged, dry, low-temperature gas can be used for ventilation of the casting platform, thus realizing the comprehensive utilization of waste heat resources.
[0033] The following section will provide a detailed description of the specific structure of each part of the continuous casting machine secondary cooling chamber steam comprehensive utilization system described in this utility model, as well as the pipeline connection relationship between each part.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the continuous casting machine secondary cooling chamber steam comprehensive utilization system has a gas treatment pipeline 100, which is used to collect the gas containing steam in the secondary cooling chamber and to process and utilize the waste heat of the gas during the forward transport process.
[0035] The inlet of the gas processing pipeline 100 is connected to the steam exhaust port of the secondary cooling chamber, that is, the part of the pipeline corresponding to the inlet section of the gas processing pipeline 100 forms the steam collection section 101.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a secondary cooling fan 107 is provided on the steam collection section 101. The secondary cooling fan 107 is used to extract the steam-containing gas in the secondary cooling chamber into the gas processing pipeline 100 and provide power for the continuous forward transport of the gas.
[0037] Along the direction from entrance to exit, such as Figure 1 As shown, a dust collector 108 and a heat exchanger are sequentially installed on the gas processing pipeline 100.
[0038] A section of pipeline equipped with a dust collector 108 forms a pretreatment section 102. The dust collector 108 in the pretreatment section 102 is used to remove dust from the gas, preventing dust in the gas from affecting the heat transfer efficiency in the subsequent heat exchange process. Preferably, the dust collector 108 is a stainless steel mesh filter with multiple filter elements connected in parallel.
[0039] A section of pipeline equipped with a heat exchanger forms a heat exchange section. The heat exchanger in this section is used to recover waste heat from the gas (through heat exchange via the heat medium within the heat medium pipeline 200 described below). The gas temperature is reduced, and the steam liquefies to form condensate. Preferably, a heat pipe heat exchanger is used.
[0040] The outlet of the gas treatment pipeline 100 is connected to the manual operation area 112 of the continuous casting machine casting platform. The cooled gas is transported to the casting platform through the pipeline. An air outlet is set in the worker's work area of the casting platform to eliminate a large amount of cold and wet loads on the casting platform. That is, the part of the pipeline corresponding to the outlet section of the gas treatment pipeline 100 forms the waste heat and moisture elimination section 105.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the continuous casting machine secondary cooling chamber steam comprehensive utilization system also has a heat medium pipeline 200. The heat medium pipeline 200 is connected to the heat exchanger on the gas processing pipeline 100 through a heat exchanger. The heat medium in the heat medium pipeline 200 exchanges heat with the gas in the gas processing pipeline 100 to realize the recovery of steam waste heat.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat medium pipeline 200 has an inlet section, a heat medium heat exchange section, and a heat exchange utilization section in sequence. The inlet section is connected to a heat medium source to provide a low-temperature heat medium into the heat medium pipeline 200. The heat medium can be water. The heat exchanger is located in the heat medium heat exchange section, that is, the heat medium heat exchange section of the heat medium pipeline 200 is set opposite to the heat exchange section on the gas processing pipeline 100. The heat exchanger transfers the heat of the steam to the heat medium. The outlet section of the heat medium pipeline 200 is connected to a waste heat utilization device to form a heat exchange utilization section.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the waste heat utilization equipment is heating terminal 201 and / or lithium bromide absorption chiller unit 202.
[0044] The heat medium that has been heated after heat exchange can be used for heating. The high-temperature heat medium after heat exchange can be directly introduced into the heating terminal 201 for heating, or it can be exchanged with hot water in the heating network to produce heating water at a higher temperature.
[0045] The heat medium that has been heated after heat exchange can also be used for cooling. The lithium bromide absorption chiller unit 202 uses the high-temperature heat medium after heat exchange for cooling. The produced chilled water can be directly used to meet the cooling needs of the electrical room under the continuous casting machine platform, solving the problem that conventional air conditioners do not work or have reduced cooling capacity due to excessively high ambient temperature.
[0046] The following will further describe the structure of the preferred embodiment of the continuous casting machine secondary cooling chamber steam comprehensive utilization system of this utility model.
[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchange section on the gas processing pipeline 100 has a primary heat exchange section 103 and a secondary heat exchange section 104 arranged in sequence, and the heat medium heat exchange section on the heat medium pipeline 200 has a primary heat medium heat exchange section and a secondary heat medium heat exchange section arranged in sequence; a first heat exchanger 109 is provided between the primary heat exchange section 103 and the primary heat medium heat exchange section, and a second heat exchanger 110 is provided between the secondary heat exchange section 104 and the secondary heat medium heat exchange section.
[0048] The waste heat of the steam is recovered by a two-stage heat exchanger. After passing through the first heat exchanger 109, most of the heat in the gas is initially recovered, and the gas temperature is reduced to 60℃-70℃. After passing through the second heat exchanger 110, the heat is further recovered, and the gas temperature is reduced to 30℃-35℃, thus fully recovering the waste heat in the gas.
[0049] Preferably, both the first heat exchanger 109 and the second heat exchanger 110 are heat pipe heat exchangers.
[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the steam collection section 101 has multiple inlet branch pipes 106 arranged in parallel, and each inlet branch pipe 106 is connected to the exhaust steam vent of the secondary cooling chamber.
[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the waste heat and moisture elimination section 105 has multiple outlet branches 111 arranged in parallel, and the exhaust ports of each outlet branch 111 are all set towards the manual operation area 112 of the continuous casting machine casting platform.
[0052] In one specific embodiment, the steam temperature in the secondary cooling chamber of the continuous casting machine is 100°C, with a moisture content of approximately 60%. The steam is discharged from the secondary cooling chamber via a secondary cooling fan 107, which has a designed airflow of 100,000 m³ / h and a total pressure of 2800 Pa. The sensible and latent heat of the extracted gas is approximately 40,541 kW. The outlet of the secondary cooling fan 107 is connected to a pretreatment section 102, which uses a multi-filter parallel stainless steel mesh filter to remove dust from the gas, preventing dust accumulation on the heat pipe bundles from affecting heat transfer efficiency. The treated gas is then passed into a primary heat exchange section 103 to initially recover most of the heat in the gas, reducing the gas temperature to 60°C-70°C. It is then further passed into a secondary heat exchange section 104 to further recover heat, reducing the gas temperature to 30°C-35°C. Inside the heat pipe heat exchanger, the 30℃ heat medium (water) exchanges heat with the high-temperature gas, and the outlet water temperature can reach 85℃-90℃. The recovered heat accounts for about 85%-90% of the total waste heat.
[0053] After heat exchange, the heat medium enters the lithium bromide absorption chiller unit 202 through pipelines. Utilizing the heat from the high-temperature hot water, chilled water is produced through an evaporator. This chilled water can be connected to fan coil units or combined air conditioning units for cooling rooms such as the electrical room and control room of the continuous casting machine. Simultaneously, the heat medium is connected to the heating network, and the 85℃-90℃ hot water can meet the heat load of most rooms. Meanwhile, the outlet gas of the heat pipe heat exchanger is piped to the casting platform of the continuous casting machine, and dry, low-temperature air is discharged through air outlets. This effectively removes a large amount of cold and wet loads from the casting platform, creating a suitable working environment for personnel.
[0054] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
