Technical Field

[0002] In petrochemical enterprises, circulating water systems play a crucial role in providing cooling and other services to water-using equipment in various production units. However, existing circulating water system designs have several shortcomings: First, the head of the circulating water pumps is determined based on the water-using equipment at the most unfavorable point in the entire plant, resulting in excessively high free heads for other water-using equipment and energy waste. Second, previously, all circulating water pumps were industrial frequency pumps. Because the circulating water system was designed based on meteorological data from the hottest three months of the past five years, supply exceeds demand during winter operation, leading to energy waste. Third, the circulating water supply network lacks necessary throttling and flow monitoring measures, resulting in severe "water grabbing" in favorable supply areas and actual temperature differences between supply and return water deviating from design values, affecting system operating efficiency. These problems make the existing circulating water systems in petrochemical enterprises inefficient and energy-intensive, urgently requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some preferred embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of this utility model.
[0013] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a circulating water system for a petrochemical enterprise, comprising a pump group 1, a water supply pipeline 2, a heat exchange equipment group 3, a return water pipeline 4, a cooling equipment 5, a water tank mechanism 6, and the pump group 1 connected in sequence to form a circulating water system; wherein, the cooling equipment 5, the water tank mechanism 6, and the pump group 1 form a circulating water cooling area, which exchanges heat with the heat exchange equipment group 3 to cool and reduce the temperature of the heat exchange equipment group 3. The heat exchange equipment group 3 includes a low-pressure equipment group 31 and a high-pressure equipment group 32, both connected in parallel between the water supply pipe 2 and the return water pipe 4, with the low-pressure equipment group 31 located between the high-pressure equipment group 32 and the pump group 1. A pipeline pump 7 for secondary pressurization is installed on the water supply pipe 2 between the low-pressure equipment group 31 and the high-pressure equipment group 32. A loop pressure reducing orifice plate device 8 is installed on the return water pipe 4 between the low-pressure equipment group 31 and the high-pressure equipment group 32. The rated pressure of the pump group 1 is 70%-80% of the maximum water pressure required by the heat exchange equipment group 3. The pipeline pump 7 is a variable frequency pump, and its rated pressure is the maximum water pressure required by the heat exchange equipment group 3. The pressure is 20%-30% of the maximum water pressure; the low-pressure equipment group 31 includes multiple low-pressure branches 312 connected in series with low-pressure heat exchangers 311, each low-pressure branch 312 is connected to the water supply pipe 2 and the return water pipe 4 at both ends, and at least two low-pressure heat exchangers 311 are connected in series on the low-pressure branch 312 near the pump group 1; the high-pressure equipment group 32 includes multiple high-pressure branches 322 connected in series with high-pressure heat exchangers 321, each high-pressure branch 322 is connected to the water supply pipe 2 and the return water pipe 4 at both ends, and at least two high-pressure heat exchangers 321 are connected in series on the high-pressure branch 322 near the pipeline pump 7.
[0014] The working principle includes that by adopting the "pressure-dividing water supply" scheme, the water pressure of pump group 1 is sufficient to cover the demand of low-pressure equipment, and the water supply of high-pressure equipment group 32 is pressurized for a second time, which effectively reduces the high energy consumption problem of the unified water supply system of pump group 1, reduces energy waste, and also reduces the equipment cost of pump group 1.
[0015] By utilizing a "gradient utilization" method, water-using equipment located near the favorable water supply area is converted to series water supply on branch lines. This increases the amount of water reused, improves the water reuse rate, and saves water resources. Furthermore, the pressure in the return water pipe 4, after secondary pressurization by the pipeline pump 7, is increased. By installing a loop pressure-reducing orifice plate device 8, the outlet water pressure of the low-pressure equipment area is lowered, preventing obstruction of the water output from the low-pressure equipment. This ensures a more balanced and efficient flow in the return water pipe 4, delivering water more quickly to the cooling equipment 5 and improving cooling efficiency.
[0016] Even better, pump group 1 is divided into variable frequency pumps and fixed frequency pumps to improve the adjustment capability and adapt to different ambient temperatures in winter and summer. Pump group 1 includes several fixed frequency pumps and several variable frequency pumps. The rated flow rate output of all fixed frequency pumps is 70%-80% of the maximum flow rate required by the heat exchange equipment group 3; the rated flow rate output of all variable frequency pumps is 20%-30% of the maximum flow rate required by the heat exchange equipment group 3. The fixed frequency pumps are sufficient to cover the flow requirements in winter, and with the adjustment function of the variable frequency pumps, they can have a wider adjustment range, meeting the needs even under high-temperature conditions in summer. Furthermore, the combined use of fixed frequency pumps and variable frequency pumps reduces costs.
[0017] To reduce the high pressure of the water supply in the favorable water supply area and maintain the system head balance, pressure-reducing orifice plate devices 33 are provided on both the low-pressure branch 312 and the high-pressure branch 322, near the side of the water supply pipe 2. More preferably, such as Figure 1 The equipment on the left side of the low-pressure branch 312 and the high-pressure branch 322 mentioned above is a key target and should be monitored more closely. This branch is equipped with various monitoring devices such as pressure, temperature and flow, as well as regulating valves.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a maintenance control valve assembly 11 and a flow detector 12 are provided on the return water pipe 4 between the low-pressure equipment group 31 and the cooling equipment 5 and on the supply water pipe between the low-pressure equipment group 31 and the pump group 1, so as to facilitate maintenance and flow monitoring.
[0019] To enhance the system's monitoring capabilities, monitoring components are installed. Each of the low-pressure branch 312 and the high-pressure branch 322 is equipped with a pressure sensor 13 and a temperature sensor 14. The water supply pipe 2 near the water outlet of the pump set 1 is also equipped with the pressure sensor 13 and temperature sensor 14. Both the pressure sensor 13 and temperature sensor 14 are electrically connected to a control cabinet, which is electrically connected to the pump set 1 and the pipeline pump 7. The control cabinet is used to control the pump set 1 and the pipeline pump 7 based on the collected pressure and temperature values. The control of the pump set 1 may include controlling the number of fixed-frequency pumps and the power of the variable-frequency pumps. The control of the pipeline pump 7 may include the switching on / off state and the power of the pipeline pump 7.
[0020] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows: First, by adopting a "pressure-divided water supply" scheme, the circulating water pump group 1 is divided into variable frequency pumps and fixed frequency pumps, and secondary pressurization water supply is provided to the high-pressure water-using equipment, effectively reducing the high energy consumption problem of the unified water supply system and reducing energy waste. Second, by using a "gradient utilization" method, important water-using equipment with large heat exchange is managed and controlled, and water-using equipment with suitable conditions is converted to series water supply, increasing the amount of reused water, improving the water reuse rate, and saving water resources. Third, by using monitoring and adjustment components to monitor various parameters of the circulating water in real time, and adjusting relevant equipment based on the data, combined with structured modeling to determine the parameters of each piece of equipment, the optimized design and precise control of the circulating water system are realized, improving the system's operating efficiency and stability. Fourth, this system has a simple structure, is easy to install and maintain, and can effectively solve the problems existing in the circulating water systems of petrochemical enterprises.
[0021] In summary, this system features pressure-divided water supply and gradient utilization, which can reduce energy waste and save costs, making it suitable for use in cooling water systems in the petrochemical industry.
