Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a steam kinetic energy utilization technology, and more particularly to a steam propulsion device. Background Technology

[0002] Within the carbon fiber precursor chemical plant area, the high-temperature, high-pressure steam generated after the polymerization reaction is generally disposed of by direct emission into the atmosphere due to a lack of subsequent utilization. This steam still carries a considerable amount of kinetic energy, and the current practice of simply releasing it is essentially a waste of energy.

[0003] Meanwhile, the factory's landscape water system still requires additional electricity. Traditionally, systems such as green space irrigation, central fountains, and ecological water curtains are equipped with separate water pumps to ensure their proper operation. This raises the question: could the kinetic energy of waste steam be used to power the factory's landscape water system?

[0004] In summary, the current problem is:

[0005] How to use the kinetic energy of waste steam to drive the operation of the factory's landscape water system. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steam propulsion device that can use the kinetic energy of waste steam to drive the operation of the factory's landscape water system.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A steam propulsion device includes a large-diameter pipe and a small-diameter pipe connected in series, with a pumping pipe provided at the small-diameter pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, flanges are provided on the inlets of the steam propulsion units.

[0010] Furthermore, the steam propeller is used in a landscape water supply device, which includes a steam delivery pipeline, a steam propeller, a water collection tank, and an underground water supply pipeline; the steam inlet of the steam delivery pipeline is connected to a waste steam source, and the steam outlet of the steam delivery pipeline leads to the water collection tank; the water collection tank has a water outlet, which is connected to the underground water supply pipeline, which is connected to the landscape water supply device; the steam propeller is installed on the steam delivery pipeline, and the large-diameter pipe and the small-diameter pipe of the steam propeller are connected in series in the steam delivery pipeline, and the pumping pipe of the steam propeller extends into the water source.

[0011] Furthermore, the water collection pool is positioned at a height higher than the landscape water supply device.

[0012] Furthermore, the landscape water supply device also includes a water purification tank, which is equipped with a purification filter, and the water purification tank is installed in the underground water pipeline.

[0013] Furthermore, the landscape water device is a plant irrigation sprinkler or fountain.

[0014] Furthermore, the water source is a rainwater collection well.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the main advantages of this steam propulsion device are as follows:

[0016] A steam transmission pipeline is installed between the waste steam source and the landscape water area, and a steam propulsion device is installed in the steam transmission pipeline. The steam propulsion device uses the high-speed flow of waste steam in the steam transmission pipeline to draw water from the rainwater collection well to the landscape water area. In this way, the kinetic energy of the waste steam can be used to drive the operation of the plant's landscape water system, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the energy consumption of the plant's equipment operation. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a landscape water supply device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a steam propulsion device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 An enlarged view of the area indicated by the middle arrow A. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model are further described below:

[0020] This embodiment provides a landscape water supply device powered by waste steam, which is configured for a chemical plant area. The landscape water supply device is used to supply water to the green plant irrigation sprinklers 8, fountains 10 and other forms of landscape water devices in the chemical plant area.

[0021] More importantly, in this embodiment, the power to drive the water transport comes from the waste steam generated within the chemical plant area, eliminating the need for additional power configurations and thus achieving a low-cost water supply model for the landscape.

[0022] Specifically, see Figure 1 For the waste steam source within the factory area, a steam transmission pipeline 1 is installed. One end of the steam transmission pipeline 1 serves as the steam inlet, connected to the waste steam source, while the other end extends to the landscape water feature as the steam outlet. In this way, the waste steam discharged from the waste steam source can be transported to the landscape water feature through the steam transmission pipeline 1.

[0023] To buffer the water reaching the landscape water area, a collection tank 4 is installed at the landscape water area, and the steam outlet of the steam conveying pipeline 1 is located at the collection tank 4. In this way, the steam-water mixture discharged from the steam outlet of the steam conveying pipeline 1 will enter the collection tank 4.

[0024] The bottom of the water collection tank 4 is provided with a water outlet, and a water outlet control valve 41 is provided at the water outlet. The water outlet control valve 41 is an electrically controlled valve.

[0025] An underground water pipe 5 is laid out at the landscape water area. The green plant irrigation sprinklers 8, fountains 10 and other forms of landscape water devices installed in the factory area are all connected to the underground water pipe 5 through the side branch pipe 7. The outlet of the water collection tank 4 is connected to the underground water pipe 5. In this way, the water released from the outlet of the water collection tank 4 can be transported to the green plant irrigation sprinklers 8, fountains 10 and other forms of landscape water devices through the underground water pipe 5 to achieve their respective functional effects.

[0026] In addition, in order to purify the water quality, a water purification tank 6 is installed in the underground water pipeline 5. The water purification tank 6 is equipped with a purification filter, so as to ensure that the water quality of the landscape water meets the standards.

[0027] A crucial point: In order to achieve "using the kinetic energy of the waste steam in the steam transmission pipeline 1 to supply water to the landscape water device", this embodiment also provides a steam propulsion device 2. The steam propulsion device 2 is installed on the steam transmission pipeline 1 and is located near a rainwater collection well 3. The steam propulsion device 2 can use the kinetic energy of the waste steam in the steam transmission pipeline 1 to draw water from the rainwater collection well 3 into the steam transmission pipeline 1, and then transport the water to the collection tank 4.

[0028] See Figure 2 More specifically, the steam propulsion unit 2 mainly includes a large-diameter pipe 21 and a small-diameter pipe 22 connected in series. The diameter of the large-diameter pipe 21 is larger than the diameter of the small-diameter pipe 22, and a side branch pipe is provided at the small-diameter pipe 22 as a pumping pipe 23. The "large-diameter pipe 21 and small-diameter pipe 22 connected in series" serve as the main pipeline.

[0029] When installing the steam propeller 2, the large-diameter pipe 21 and the small-diameter pipe 22, which serve as the main pipeline, are connected in series in the steam transmission pipeline 1, with the large-diameter pipe 21 located upstream of the steam flow compared to the small-diameter pipe 22. That is, the large-diameter pipe 21 is closer to the steam inlet of the steam transmission pipeline 1, while the small-diameter pipe 22 is closer to the steam outlet of the steam transmission pipeline 1; the waste steam flowing in the steam transmission pipeline 1 first flows through the large-diameter pipe 21 and then through the small-diameter pipe 22.

[0030] The pumping pipe 23 extends through an extension pipe into the water body inside the rainwater collection well 3.

[0031] The waste steam discharged from the waste steam source flows at high speed along the steam conveying pipeline 1. In other words, the waste steam flowing in the steam conveying pipeline 1 has a certain kinetic energy. When the waste steam with kinetic energy flows through the steam propeller 2, based on Bernoulli's principle, it will form a strong negative pressure at the water pumping pipe 23, thereby drawing the water in the rainwater collection well 3 into the steam conveying pipeline 1. Then, the kinetic energy of the waste steam continues to push the water in the steam conveying pipeline 1 forward until it enters the water collection pool 4 through the steam outlet.

[0032] It should be noted that, for ease of installation, flanges are provided at all three ports of the steam propeller 2, making it easy to assemble with other pipelines.

[0033] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the water collection pool 4 is placed at a relatively high height (about 12 meters). The water collection pool 4 is not only used to collect and store water, but also functions as a water tower. Its height is higher than that of the green plant irrigation sprinkler 8 and the fountain 10, thereby providing power for the water spraying action of the green plant irrigation sprinkler 8 and the fountain 10.

[0034] The overall working process and principle of the landscape water supply device in this embodiment are as follows:

[0035] A steam inlet valve (electrically controlled switch valve) is installed at the steam inlet of the steam transmission pipeline 1. When the steam inlet valve is opened, the waste steam discharged from the waste steam source flows to the water collection tank 4 through the steam transmission pipeline 1. When the waste steam flows through the steam propeller 2, the steam propeller 2 uses the kinetic energy of the waste steam to draw the water in the rainwater collection well 3 into the steam transmission pipeline 1. Then, the waste steam carries the water to the water collection tank 4, opening the water outlet control valve 41 at the bottom of the water collection tank 4. The water in the water collection tank 4 reaches the green plant irrigation sprinkler 8, fountain 10 and other landscape water devices through the underground water pipe 5. Because the water collection tank 4 is installed at a high position, the water collection tank 4 has the function of a water tower, thus providing kinetic energy for the water spraying action of the green plant irrigation sprinkler 8 and fountain 10.

[0036] It should be noted that the landscape water area refers to the place that needs to receive landscape water supply, such as the location of the green plant irrigation sprinkler 8 and the location of the fountain 10.

[0037] It should be noted that the term "waste steam source" refers to equipment and pipelines that emit waste steam.

[0038] It should be noted that the water pumped by the steam propulsion unit 2 can be other forms of water sources besides the rainwater collection well 3, such as snowmelt, groundwater, reclaimed water, etc.

[0039] In this embodiment, a steam transmission pipeline 1 is set between the waste steam source and the landscape water area, and a steam propeller 2 is installed in the steam transmission pipeline 1. The steam propeller 2 uses the high-speed flowing waste steam in the steam transmission pipeline 1 to draw water from the rainwater collection well 3 to the landscape water area. In this way, the kinetic energy of the waste steam can be used to drive the operation of the factory area landscape water system, thereby achieving the effect of "reducing the energy consumption of factory equipment operation".

[0040] In addition, the landscape water supply device of this embodiment has other advantages, as follows:

[0041] 1) Pumping water is carried out using the jet power of steam itself, without any additional power source.

[0042] 2) The design of the large-diameter pipe 21 combined with the small-diameter pipe 22 enhances the steam injection power;

[0043] 3) Automatic water pumping using waste steam provides ease of operation;

[0044] 4) The landscape water supply device of this embodiment has a long service life, low failure rate, and reduced maintenance costs.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
