Description

 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a steam waste heat recovery apparatus that re-evaporates high-temperature condensate condensed with steam in a re-evaporation tank and reuses it as steam.

 In the conventional steam waste heat recovery system, a condensate supply pipe is connected to a re-evaporation tank, and a steam ejector that sucks the re-evaporated steam of the condensate in the re-evaporation tank is connected via a communication pipe. Connected to the evaporating tank, a pressure control valve is attached to this communication pipe, and a liquid pumping member is arranged below the re-evaporating tank. The re-evaporated vapor in the re-evaporating tank is sucked with a steam ejector It is possible to recover the waste heat of the steam by supplying it to the place where the steam is used.

In the above-mentioned conventional waste heat recovery apparatus for steam, when a large amount of re-evaporated steam is generated in a re-evaporation tank, for example, when a large amount of re-evaporated steam is generated, a single steam ejector cannot be inhaled. was there.

  The problem to be solved is to obtain a waste heat recovery device for steam that can be quickly sucked even if the amount of sucked steam varies from a small amount to a large amount.

  In the present invention, a condensate supply pipe is connected to a re-evaporation tank, and a steam ejector for sucking vapor re-evaporated from the condensate in the re-evaporation tank is connected. Is connected.

  According to the present invention, when a screw compressor is connected to the outlet side of the steam ejector, when a large amount of intake steam is generated, the screw compressor is increased in number of rotations to suck in a large amount of steam. In the case of a small amount, the re-evaporated vapor that fluctuates from a small amount to a large amount can be rapidly sucked by lowering the rotational speed of the screw compressor.

  The present invention uses a screw compressor, and as the screw compressor, one that can freely control the suction capacity by changing the rotation speed is suitable.

  In FIG. 1, a re-evaporation tank 1, a condensate supply pipe 2, a steam ejector 3, and a screw compressor 4 constitute a waste heat recovery device for steam.

  The steam ejector 3 includes a suction chamber 5 and a diffuser 6. A nozzle is built in the suction chamber 5 and is connected to a driving steam pipe 7. The upstream side of the driving steam pipe 7 is connected to a high-pressure steam source (not shown).

  A screw type compressor 4 is connected to the outlet side of the steam ejector 3. The screw-type compressor 4 includes a screw-type rotor, a rotating unit that rotates the rotor, and a control unit that controls the number of rotations. Connected to the outlet side of the screw compressor 4 is a steam supply pipe 8 for supplying re-evaporated steam, which has been pressurized to a predetermined pressure by the screw compressor 4, to a steam use location (not shown).

  The suction chamber 5 of the steam ejector 3 is connected to the upper part of the reevaporation tank 1 by a pipe 9. A check valve 10 that allows only the flow of steam from the reevaporation tank 1 to the suction chamber 5 side and prevents the flow of fluid in the opposite direction is attached to the conduit 9.

A condensate supply pipe 2 is connected to the left side surface of the reevaporation tank 1. The left end of the condensate supply pipe 2 is connected to a high temperature condensate source to supply high temperature condensate into the reevaporation tank 1. Steam re-evaporated from the high-temperature condensate in the re-evaporation tank 1 is sucked into the steam ejector 3, further pressurized by the screw compressor 4, and supplied from the steam supply pipe 8 to a predetermined steam use location. is there.

The bottom surface of the reevaporation tank 1 is connected to a water ejector 13 of an ejector type vacuum pump 12 through a communication pipe 11. The ejector type vacuum pump 12 includes a water ejector 13, a cooling water tank 14, a circulation pump 15, and a connection circuit 16 connecting them. A cooling water supply pipe 17 for supplying cooling water into the tank 14 is connected to the cooling water tank 14. Moreover, a part of the connection circuit 16 is branched, and the surplus water discharge pipe 18 for discharging surplus water is connected.

The steam ejector 3 generates a predetermined suction force in the suction chamber 5 by the high-pressure steam supplied from the drive steam pipe 7. If the amount of the re-evaporated steam in the re-evaporation tank 1 is large, A large amount of re-evaporated steam can be sucked by increasing the number of revolutions of the compressor 4 and increasing the suction capacity. On the other hand, when the amount of re-evaporated steam in the re-evaporator tank 1 is small, a screw compressor This can be dealt with by lowering the rotational speed of 4 to reduce the suction volume.

  Condensate that cannot be completely evaporated again at the bottom of the re-evaporation tank 1 is sucked into the water ejector 13 of the ejector vacuum pump 12 and reaches the cooling water tank 14.
