Description

Technical Field

[0002] In thermal power plants (whether coal-fired, gas-fired, nuclear, or biomass-fired), the basic principle is: fuel chemical energy / nuclear energy → thermal energy → mechanical energy → electrical energy. During this process, high-temperature, high-pressure steam expands and performs work in the turbine, driving the rotor to rotate and generate electricity. After performing its work, the steam's pressure and temperature drop sharply, and the low-temperature, low-pressure steam discharged from the turbine's exhaust is called waste steam.

[0003] The exhaust steam in a power plant still has a certain amount of heat after it has done work, and it can do work again to achieve the reuse of heat energy. Based on this, in order to achieve efficient recovery of exhaust steam waste heat, a heater for heating tap water by heat energy recovery is provided. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a heater for heating tap water by heat recovery includes a waste heat recovery component 1, which includes a water tank 101, a partition 102, a connecting cylinder 104, a water outlet pipe 105, a water inlet pipe 107, and a diversion pipe 108. The partition 102 is fixed to the inside of the water tank 101 near the top. A through hole 103 is provided in the middle of the partition 102. The connecting tube 104 is fixed to the top middle of the partition 102 and communicates with the through hole 103. The water outlet pipe 105 passes through the water tank 101 from the outside side and is connected to and communicates with the connecting tube 104. The inlet pipe 107 is located on the outside of the water tank 101 and is connected to the inner cavity of the water tank 101 through the diversion pipe 108. The connection port between the diversion pipe 108 and the water tank 101 is located below the partition 102. A heat exchange assembly 2 is provided on the outside of the water tank 101 and in the inner cavity of the water tank 101 below the partition 102. The heat exchange assembly 2 is used to exchange heat between the exhaust steam and the tap water. Heat exchange assembly 2 includes an air inlet pipe 201, a serpentine heat exchange coil 202, and an outlet pipe 203; The air inlet pipe 201 passes through the top of the water tank 101, the connecting cylinder 104, the through hole 103 and the bottom of the water tank 101 in sequence. The serpentine heat exchange coils 202 are distributed in the inner cavity of the water tank 101 and located below the partition 102. Multiple serpentine heat exchange coils 202 are evenly arranged vertically. One end of the multiple serpentine heat exchange coils 202 is connected to the air inlet pipe 201, and the other end passes through the water tank 101 to the outside of the water tank 101 and is connected to the outlet pipe 203. The air inlet pipe 201 and the serpentine heat exchange coil 202 are used to provide a flow channel for heat exchange between exhaust steam and tap water; A vortex guide plate 106 is fixed at the bottom of the partition plate 102 and the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 101. The vortex guide plate 106 is perpendicular to the multiple serpentine heat exchange coils 202, and the vortex guide plate 106 is located in the middle of the vortex gap of the serpentine heat exchange coils 202. The inner diameter of the through hole 103 is larger than the outer diameter of the intake pipe 201, and the through hole 103 is connected to the middle region of the vortex guide plate 106.

[0016] In this embodiment, it should be noted that when this device is in use, the top of the air inlet pipe 201 is connected to the exhaust steam conveying channel, the bottom of the water inlet pipe 107 is connected to the tap water pipe, the water outlet pipe 105 is connected to the heated tap water storage tank, and the discharge pipe 203 is connected to the exhaust steam condensate recovery pipe. The working principle of this heater is as follows: Exhaust steam is diverted through the air inlet pipe 201 into multiple serpentine heat exchange coils 202. At the same time, tap water is transported to the inner cavity of the water tank 101 through the water inlet pipe 107 and the diversion pipe 108, and flows in a vortex pattern from the outside to the inside along the trajectory of the vortex guide plate 106. Meanwhile, the exhaust steam flows in a vortex pattern from the inside to the outside along the trajectory of the serpentine heat exchange coils 202. At the same time, the flowing tap water is in full contact with the outer wall of the serpentine heat exchange coils 202, thereby realizing the heat exchange operation between the exhaust steam and the tap water. The tap water heated by the waste heat of the exhaust steam eventually gathers in the space between the inner side of the vortex guide plate 106 and the outer side of the air inlet pipe 201. At the same time, it enters the interior of the connecting cylinder 104 through the through hole 103 and is finally output through the water outlet pipe 105. After heat exchange, the exhaust steam condenses into water droplets, which then collect and are discharged through the discharge pipe 203. By combining the above components, the purpose of using waste steam heat to heat tap water can be achieved, thereby realizing the waste steam heat recovery.

[0017] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 5 Multiple branch pipes 108 are evenly arranged vertically, and the branch pipes 108 are distributed between two adjacent serpentine heat exchange coils 202. One end of the outer side of the vortex guide plate 106 is fixed to the inner wall of the water tank 101, and the port of the diversion pipe 108 is tangent to the outer end of the vortex guide plate 106.

[0018] In this embodiment, the structure of multiple diversion pipes 108 can maintain a good vertical flow effect for the water inside the tank 101, avoiding dead zones in water flow.

[0019] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 4The bottom of the air intake pipe 201 extends to the bottom of the water tank 101, and the bottom of the water tank 101 is also fixed with a drain outlet 109 that communicates with the inner cavity of the water tank 101. The drain outlet 109 and the bottom of the air inlet pipe 201 are connected by bolts to a sealing block 3.

[0020] In this embodiment: the sealing block 3 is used to seal the drain outlet 109 and the bottom of the air inlet pipe 201. The drain outlet 109 and the bottom port of the air inlet pipe 201 can be opened by removing the sealing block 3. The air inlet pipe 201 is opened to periodically clean the residual water inside the air inlet pipe 201, and the drain outlet 109 is opened to drain all the water inside the water tank 101 when the device is not in use.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
