Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waste heat utilization and production operation technology of steam condensate recovery system in chemical plant, specifically relating to a condensate recovery ORC turbine power generation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the steam condensate recovery system of a chemical plant, various low-temperature steam condensates from throughout the plant need to be collected and reused. These low-temperature condensates are approximately 120-140°C and are considered low-grade heat sources. In traditional processes, the condensate is typically cooled to around 40°C by circulating water in a condensate cooler before being returned to the circulating water system for reuse.

[0003] The main shortcomings of the above process and equipment are that the use of circulating water to cool the steam condensate does not effectively recover the heat of the steam condensate, and it also requires a large amount of circulating water, resulting in a great waste of energy and increasing the production and operation costs of the equipment. Utility Model Content

This device can effectively recover and utilize the heat in low-temperature steam condensate for by-product power generation, reducing the consumption of circulating water in the production unit and improving the operating efficiency of the unit.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto:

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, a condensate recovery ORC turbine power generation device includes a condensate flash tank 1, a first condensate cooler 3-1 and a second condensate cooler 3-2. Steam condensate from outside the boundary is connected to the first condensate cooler 3-1. The cold side output end of the first condensate cooler 3-1 is connected to the first condensate cooler 3-1 through a first-stage evaporator 401.

[0017] The working fluid output end of the first-stage evaporator 401 is connected in sequence to the first separator 402. The gas output end of the first separator 402 is connected to the first turbine generator 403 and the first mixer 405. The liquid output of the first separator 402 is connected to the first mixer 405 through the first high-temperature regenerator 404. The first mixer 405 is connected in sequence to the first low-temperature regenerator 406, the first condenser 407, the first liquid storage tank 408, the first circulating working fluid pump 409, and the first low-temperature regenerator 406. The cold-side output end of the first low-temperature regenerator 406 is connected to the first-stage evaporator 401 in sequence through the first high-temperature regenerator 404.

[0018] The hot side output of the first condensate cooler 3-1 is connected to the second condensate cooler 3-2, and the cold side output of the second condensate cooler 3-2 is connected to the second condensate cooler 3-2 through the second evaporator 501.

[0019] The working fluid output end of the secondary evaporator 501 is connected in sequence to the second separator 502. The gas output end of the second separator 502 is connected in sequence to the second turbine generator 503 and the second mixer 505. The liquid output of the second separator 502 is connected to the second mixer 505 through the second high-temperature regenerator 504. The second mixer 505 is connected in sequence to the second low-temperature regenerator 506, the second condenser 507, the second liquid storage tank 508, the second circulating working fluid pump 509, and the second low-temperature regenerator 506. The cold side output end of the second low-temperature regenerator 506 is connected to the secondary evaporator 501 in sequence through the second high-temperature regenerator 504.

[0020] The pipes connecting the first condensate cooler 3-1 and the second condensate cooler 3-2 are equipped with a pipe splitting system. One output goes outside the boundary, while the high-temperature condensate from the other output is connected to the second condensate cooler 3-2. The low-temperature condensate from the second condensate cooler 3-2 is output outside the boundary.

[0021] The outlet end of the condensate flash tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the condensate transfer pump 2, and the outlet pipe of the condensate transfer pump 2 is connected to the hot side input end of the first condensate cooler 3-1; a portion of the high-temperature condensate at the hot side output end of the first condensate cooler 3-1 is connected to the hot side input end of the second condensate cooler 3-2, and the low-temperature condensate at the hot side output end of the second condensate cooler 3-2 is sent to the outside of the boundary.

[0022] The working process of this utility model is as follows: Steam condensate from outside the boundary enters the condensate flash tank for collection, and after being pressurized by the condensate transfer pump, it enters a two-stage condensate cooler for cooling. The resulting low-temperature condensate is sent outside the boundary for reuse. The circulating working fluid from the high-temperature regenerator enters the evaporator for heating, and after passing through the separator, it enters the turbine generator to generate electricity. It then passes sequentially through the mixer, low-temperature regenerator, condenser, storage tank, circulating working fluid pump, cold side of the low-temperature regenerator, and cold side of the high-temperature regenerator before returning to the evaporator, continuing the above cycle. The high-temperature condensate at the heat medium outlet of the first-stage condensate cooler enters the second-stage evaporator through a pipeline diversion section, continuing the process of the ORC turbine power generation system.

[0023] The specific implementation process is as follows: 60t / h of steam condensate (temperature 125℃, pressure 0.25MPa) from outside the boundary enters the condensate flash tank for collection. After being pressurized to 0.6MPa by the condensate transfer pump, it enters the condensate cooler and is cooled to 80℃. The resulting high-temperature condensate is sent to the second-stage condensate cooler and cooled to 50℃. The resulting low-temperature condensate is reused outside the boundary. The circulating working fluid from the first-stage evaporator has a flow rate of 4500kg / h (temperature 120℃, pressure 1.0MPa). After passing through the separator, it enters the turbine generator to generate 38kW of electricity. After the pressure is reduced to 0.15MPa, it passes through the mixer and is mixed with a low-concentration circulating working fluid. After passing through the low-temperature regenerator and condenser and being cooled to 60℃, it is pressurized to 1.0MPa by the circulating working fluid pump. After passing through the low-temperature regenerator and high-temperature regenerator, the temperature is raised to 95℃ and it enters the evaporator, where the above cycle process is repeated. The circulating working fluid from the secondary evaporator has a flow rate of 3500 kg / h (temperature 90℃, pressure 1.0 MPa). After passing through the separator, it enters the turbine generator to generate 26 kW of electrical energy. After the pressure is reduced to 0.15 MPa, it passes through the mixer and is mixed with a low-concentration circulating working fluid. After passing through the low-temperature regenerator and condenser and being cooled to 40℃, it is pressurized to 0.8 MPa by the circulating working fluid pump. After passing through the low-temperature regenerator and high-temperature regenerator, the temperature is raised to 70℃ and then enters the evaporator, where the above cycle process continues to repeat.

[0024] The ORC turbine power generation device designed in this invention can effectively recover and utilize the heat in low-temperature steam condensate for by-product power generation, reducing the consumption of circulating water in the production unit and improving the operating efficiency of the unit.
