Description

  The present invention relates to a steam generator.

  Conventionally, boilers that generate steam by burning fuel to boil water are widely used as steam generators. On the other hand, for the purpose of effectively using the energy of waste heat generated in factories or the like, a steam generator that generates steam using waste heat as a heat source has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to the steam generator proposed in Patent Document 1, steam can be taken out using hot water having a relatively low temperature of about 90 ° C. as a heat source.

  As such a steam generator capable of taking out steam using hot water having a relatively low temperature as a heat source, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger including a tank and a tube arranged to penetrate the inside of the tank. A steam generation apparatus using the above is also known. If a shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used, waste heat generated in a factory or the like (for example, about 90 ° C. waste hot water) is circulated through the tube as a heat source fluid, and hot water of about 80 ° C. is supplied inside the tank. By spraying on the tube, it is possible to generate steam using waste heat.

JP 2010-164223 A

  By the way, when the steam generator using the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is started, the heat source fluid is supplied to the heat exchanger in the cooled state, so that the tube through which the heat source fluid flows is quickly heated. On the other hand, the tank needs a predetermined time to be heated. Therefore, when starting up the steam generator, the difference in thermal expansion due to the temperature difference between the tube and the tank causes a load on the joint between the tube and the tank, which causes a decrease in the durability of the steam generator. It was.

  In order to eliminate such a problem of the load applied to the joint between the tube and the tank at the time of startup, it is conceivable to use a member having elasticity such as an expansion joint at the joint between the tube and the tank. However, when a stretchable member is used at the joint between the tube and the tank, the number of parts involved in the production of the steam generator increases, which increases the production cost and production man-hour of the steam generator.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a steam generator that can suppress an increase in manufacturing cost and is excellent in durability.

  The present invention includes an evaporating tank in which steam is generated, a tank portion provided below the evaporating tank, and having a water header for storing water that has not evaporated in the evaporating tank, and the evaporating tank A tube extending in the horizontal direction in which the heat source fluid flows, a spray nozzle disposed above the tube in the evaporation tank and spraying water on the tube, and the water header A spray water line for supplying water stored in the spray nozzle to the spray nozzle, a spray water pump provided in the spray water line, a heat source fluid supply line for supplying a heat source fluid to the tube, and the tube A heat source fluid discharge line that discharges the heat source fluid that has circulated, and a bypass that connects the heat source fluid supply line and the heat source fluid discharge line A flow rate adjusting valve that adjusts the flow rate of the heat source fluid flowing from the heat source fluid supply line to the tube side, a spray water temperature measurement unit that measures the temperature of spray water, and the spray water temperature measurement unit. And a startup valve control unit that controls the flow rate adjusting valve such that the flow rate of the heat source fluid flowing to the tube side increases as the temperature of the spray water increases.

  The steam generator further includes a storage unit that stores the temperature of the spray water and the opening of the flow rate adjustment valve in association with each other, and the startup valve control unit is measured by the spray water temperature measurement unit. It is preferable to control the flow rate adjusting valve based on the opening degree of the flow rate adjusting valve stored in the storage unit corresponding to the temperature of the spray water.

  In addition, the steam generator includes an activation control stop unit that terminates the control of the flow rate adjustment valve by the activation time control unit when the temperature of the spray water measured by the spray water temperature measurement unit exceeds the first temperature. It is preferable to further provide.

In the present embodiment, the hot water temperature sensor 11 is disposed on the upstream side of a later-described three-way valve 15 in the hot water supply line L1. The warm water temperature sensor 11 measures the temperature of warm water flowing through the warm water supply line L1.

  The hot water discharge line L2 circulates inside the tube 25 and discharges the hot water used as a heat source to the outside. The upstream side of the hot water discharge line L2 is connected to the other end of the tube 25 (a sixth flow path 256 described later). The warm water discharge line L2 is provided with a drain warm water temperature sensor 12 that measures the temperature of the warm water flowing through the tube 25. In the present embodiment, the exhaust warm water temperature sensor 12 is disposed on the upstream side (near the connection portion with the tube 25) in the warm water discharge line L2.

  The steam lead line L3 leads the steam generated inside the evaporation tank 21. The upstream side of the steam outlet line L3 is connected to the steam outlet 24. The downstream side of the steam outlet line L3 is connected to an ejector, a steam compressor, etc. (not shown).

The spray water line L4 connects the water header 22 and the spray nozzle 23, and supplies the water stored in the water header 22 to the spray nozzle 23 as spray water. In the spray water line L4, a spray water pump 7 and a spray water temperature sensor 13 as a spray water temperature measuring unit are arranged. In the present embodiment, the spray water temperature sensor 13 is disposed on the spray water line L4 on the downstream side of the spray water pump 7 and on the upstream side of the spray water heat exchanger 4 described later.

The spray water temperature sensor 13 is disposed on the downstream side of the spray water pump 7 in the spray water line L4, and measures the temperature of the spray water flowing through the spray water line L4.

  The continuous blow line L5 and the concentration blow line L6 branch from the spray water line L4. The continuous blow line L5 and the concentrated blow line L6 drain a part of the water stored in the water header 22. The open / close valve 5 and the open / close valve 6 are arranged in the continuous blow line L5 and the concentration blow line L6, respectively.

The makeup water line L7 connects the water header 22 and a storage tank or the like (not shown) that stores water. The makeup water line L7 supplies makeup water to the water header 22. A makeup water pump 8, a check valve 9, and a makeup water temperature sensor 14 are arranged in the makeup water line L7.
The makeup water pump 8 pressurizes water supplied from a storage tank or the like and supplies it to the inside of the water header 22. The check valve 9 blocks the flow of water to the upstream side of the make-up water line L7 and allows supply of make-up water to the water header 22 through the make-up water line L7 when a water pressure higher than a predetermined pressure is received.

A three-way valve 15 as a flow rate adjustment valve is disposed at a connection portion between the bypass line L8 and the hot water supply line L1. The three-way valve 15 adjusts the flow rate of hot water flowing through the hot water supply line L1 to the tube 25 side. That is, when the opening degree of the three-way valve 15 is greatly opened to the tube 25 side, the flow rate of the hot water flowing through the hot water supply line L1 to the tube 25 side increases. Further, when the opening of the three-way valve 15 is closed to the tube 25 side (when the valve is opened to the bypass line L8 side), the flow rate of the hot water flowing through the hot water supply line L1 to the tube 25 side decreases.

  The feed water heat exchanger 3 performs heat exchange between the hot water flowing through the hot water discharge line L2 and the water flowing through the makeup water line L7.

Further, the control device 90 performs start-up control for warming up the tank unit 2 when the steam generation device 1 is started. Details of the control of the steam generator 1 by the control device 90 will be described later.

Next, the structure of the tank part 2, the vapor | steam derivation | leading-out part 24, the tube 25, and the spray nozzle 23 is demonstrated, referring FIG.2 and FIG.3.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the tank unit 2 of the present embodiment. 3A is a cross-sectional view of the evaporation tank 21 of FIG. 2 cut along a plane perpendicular to the depth direction LD and passing through a portion where the evaporation tank 21 and the spray water line L4 are connected. It is sectional drawing (sectional drawing of one evaporation tank 21) observed from (X direction). FIG. 3B shows that the evaporation tank 21 is cut at a center portion in the width direction WD of the evaporation tank 21 and perpendicular to the width direction WD of the evaporation tank 21, and the side surface direction (Y direction) of the evaporation tank 21. It is sectional drawing observed from.

In the present embodiment, the tank unit 2 includes four evaporation tanks 21 and one water header 22.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the evaporating tank 21 has a length (height) H1 in the height direction HD and a length (width) W1 in the width direction WD from the length (depth) D1 in the depth direction LD. Is also formed in a short rectangular parallelepiped shape. The plurality of evaporation tanks 21 are connected in the width direction WD.
The water header 22 is disposed below the central region of the evaporation tank 21 in the depth direction LD. In the present embodiment, the water header 22 is formed in a cylindrical shape extending across the width direction WD of the plurality of evaporation tanks 21.
The evaporation tank 21 and the water header 22 are connected via a plurality of pipes 26. More specifically, the upper ends of the plurality of pipes 26 are respectively connected to the lower surfaces of the plurality of evaporation tanks 21. The lower ends of the plurality of pipes 26 are connected to the upper part of the circumferential surface of the water header 22.

  The vapor outlet 24 is provided in the central region in the width direction WD of the evaporation tank 21 and in the central region in the depth direction LD of the evaporation tank 21.

  The tubes 25 extend in the depth direction LD of the evaporation tank 21, are arranged in the width direction WD of the evaporation tank 21, and are further arranged in the height direction HD of the evaporation tank 21. Further, the interval W2 between the tubes 25 arranged at the center portion in the width direction WD of the evaporation tank 21 is narrower than the interval W3 between the tubes 25 arranged at the side portions in the width direction WD of the evaporation tank 21. That is, the number of tubes 25 arranged in the central portion of the evaporation tank 21 in the width direction WD is larger than the number of tubes 25 arranged in the side portions of the evaporation tank 21 in the width direction WD.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the tube 25 includes a first flow path 251, a second flow path 252, a third flow path 253, a fourth flow path 254, a fifth flow path 255, and a sixth flow path. 256 is comprised.

The first flow path 251 includes a plurality of tubes 25 arranged below the evaporation tank 21 in the height direction HD. The upstream end of the first flow path 251 is connected to the hot water supply line L1. The first flow path 251 circulates warm water from the front side of the evaporation tank 21 toward the back side (in the first direction) inside the evaporation tank 21.
The second flow path 252 is disposed adjacent to the width direction WD of the first flow path 251. The upstream end of the second flow path 252 is connected to the downstream end of the first flow path 251. The second flow path 252 circulates hot water inside the evaporation tank 21 from the back side to the near side of the evaporation tank 21 (in the second direction opposite to the first direction).

The third channel 253 is disposed adjacent to the width direction WD of the second channel 252. The upstream end of the third flow path 253 is connected to the downstream end of the second flow path 252. The third flow path 253 circulates hot water from the front side of the evaporation tank 21 toward the back side inside the evaporation tank 21.
The fourth channel 254 is disposed on the upper side of the third channel 253 in the height direction HD. The upstream end of the fourth channel 254 is connected to the downstream end of the third channel 253. The fourth flow path 254 circulates hot water from the back side of the evaporation tank 21 toward the front side in the evaporation tank 21.

The fifth channel 255 is arranged adjacent to the width direction WD of the fourth channel 254. The upstream end of the fifth flow channel 255 is connected to the downstream end of the fourth flow channel 254. The fifth channel 255 circulates hot water from the front side of the evaporation tank 21 toward the back side in the evaporation tank 21.
The sixth channel 256 is arranged adjacent to the width direction WD of the fifth channel 255. The upstream end of the sixth channel 256 is connected to the downstream end of the fifth channel 255. The sixth flow path 256 circulates hot water from the back side of the evaporation tank 21 toward the front side in the evaporation tank 21.

  According to the tube 25 described above, the hot water supplied from the hot water supply line L1 is folded after flowing through the first flow path 251 from the front side in the depth direction LD of the evaporation tank 21 to the back side, and thus the second flow path 252. Is circulated from the back side of the evaporation tank 21 to the front side. Further, the hot water has the third channel 253 from the near side to the far side, the fourth channel 254 from the far side to the near side, the fifth channel 255 from the near side to the far side, and the sixth channel 256. After circulating from the back side to the near side, it is discharged from the hot water discharge line L2.

  A plurality of spray nozzles 23 are arranged in the center region in the width direction WD of the evaporation tank 21 with a predetermined interval in the depth direction LD of the evaporation tank 21. In the present embodiment, two spray nozzles 23 are arranged on the back side and the near side of the steam outlet 24. The spray angle of the spray nozzle 23 is wide and close to 180 °.

The steam generator 1 of this embodiment operates as follows.
First, hot water of about 90 ° C., for example, serving as a heat source from the waste heat source is supplied to the tube 25 through the hot water supply line L1. The hot water supplied to the tube 25 flows through the inside of the evaporation tank 21 in the order of the first flow path 251 to the sixth flow path 256.
On the other hand, spray water is sprayed from the spray nozzle 23 toward the tube 25 inside the evaporation tank 21. Further, the inside of the evaporation tank 21 is maintained at a negative pressure (for example, -0.043 MPaG). Thereby, the hot water which distribute | circulates the tube 25 is deprived of heat with spray water, falls to about 85 degreeC, and is discharged | emitted through the warm water discharge line L2.

  In addition, a thin liquid film is formed on the surface of the tube 25 through which warm water flows by spraying water at about 80 ° C. from the spray nozzle 23. Thus, in a state where the negative pressure is maintained, a thin liquid film is formed on the surface of the tube 25, so that the temperature difference between the hot water flowing through the tube 25 and the water sprayed by the spray nozzle 23 is increased. Even when it is relatively small (for example, about 9 ° C.), steam can be generated efficiently.

The steam generated inside the evaporation tank 21 is led out from the steam lead-out unit 24 and supplied to an ejector, a steam compressor, and the like through the steam lead-out line L3.
Water that has not become steam inside the evaporation tank 21 is stored in the water header 22. The water stored in the water header 22 is pumped up to the spray nozzle 23 by the spray water pump 7 through the spray water line L4 and sprayed on the tube 25 again.

  The continuous blow line L5 and the concentrated blow line L6 drain the water stored in the water header 22. The continuous blow line L5 always discharges a fixed amount of water by opening the on-off valve 5 or discharges a fixed amount of water every fixed time. The concentration blow line L6 monitors the concentration value of chloride ions etc. of the water stored in the tank unit 2, and when the value exceeds a certain standard, the on-off valve 6 is opened to discharge a certain amount of water. To do.

  When the amount of water circulating between the spray water line L4 and the tank unit 2 is small (when the water level detected by the water level gauge 27 falls below a predetermined water level), the makeup water line L7 to the water header 22 Make-up water is supplied. The water replenished by the makeup water line L7 is about 20 ° C. The water replenished through the replenishing water line L7 is heat-exchanged with the hot water flowing through the warm water discharge line L2 by the feed water heat exchanger 3. The water supplied by the makeup water line L7 is heated to, for example, about 40 ° C. by exchanging heat with the warm water flowing through the warm water discharge line L2.

  When the shell and tube type steam generator as described above is started, hot water is supplied to the evaporating tank 21 that is in a cooled state, so that the tube 25 through which the hot water flows is quickly heated. The evaporation tank 21 requires a predetermined time until it is heated. Therefore, when the steam generator is started, a load is applied to the joint between the tube 25 and the evaporation tank 21 due to a difference in thermal expansion caused by the temperature difference between the tube 25 and the evaporation tank 21.

  Therefore, the control device 90 (control unit 80) in the steam generation device 1 of the present embodiment has a spray water pump activation unit as a configuration for reducing the load applied to the joint between the tube 25 and the evaporation tank 21 at the time of activation. 81, a startup valve control unit 82, and a startup control stop unit 83.

The spray water pump activation unit 81 activates the spray water pump 7 when the steam generator 1 is activated.
When the spray water pump 7 is started, the start time valve control unit 82 increases the flow rate of the hot water flowing to the tube 25 side as the temperature of the spray water measured by the spray water temperature sensor 13 increases. The three-way valve 15 is controlled.

  In the present embodiment, the storage unit 70 stores the temperature of the spray water and the opening of the three-way valve 15 in association with each other. Then, the startup valve control unit 82 controls the three-way valve 15 based on the opening degree of the three-way valve 15 stored in the storage unit 70 corresponding to the temperature of the spray water measured by the spray water temperature sensor 13. . Accordingly, when the temperature of the spray water is low, that is, when the temperature of the evaporation tank 21 is low when the steam generator 1 is started, the opening of the three-way valve 15 toward the tube 25 is reduced and the tube 25 is moved. By reducing the flow rate of the circulating hot water, it is possible to prevent a large amount of hot water from being rapidly introduced into the tube 25, so that the temperature of the tube 25 can be prevented from rising excessively. Further, by increasing the flow rate of the hot water flowing to the tube 25 side as the temperature of the spray water rises, the time until the start of steam generation when the steam generator 1 is started can be shortened.

  The start control stop unit 83 ends the control of the three-way valve 15 by the start time valve control unit 82 when the temperature of the spray water measured by the spray water temperature sensor 13 exceeds a first temperature (for example, 80 ° C.). . More specifically, when the temperature of the spray water exceeds the first temperature, the activation control stop unit 83 fully opens the three-way valve 15 to the tube 25 side and supplies the hot water flowing through the hot water supply line L1 to the tube 25 side. To distribute. Thereby, the warm water flowing through the hot water supply line L <b> 1 is supplied to the entire tube 25 side, whereby in the evaporation tank 21, the spray water is heated by the hot water flowing inside the tube 25 to generate steam.

  According to the steam generator of this embodiment demonstrated above, there exist the following effects.

  (1) The steam generator 1 is configured as a so-called shell-and-tube type having an evaporation tank 21 and a tube 25, and the steam generator 1 is adjusted to a flow rate of hot water flowing to the tube 25 side, And a startup valve control unit 82 that controls the three-way valve 15 so that the flow rate of the hot water flowing to the tube 25 side increases as the temperature of the spray water increases. Thereby, when the temperature of the spray water is low, that is, when the temperature of the evaporation tank 21 is low at the time of starting the steam generator 1, a large amount of water is rapidly increased by reducing the flow rate of the hot water flowing through the tube 25. Since warm water can be prevented from being introduced into the tube 25, it is possible to suppress the temperature of the tube 25 from rising excessively. Therefore, since the temperature difference between the evaporation tank 21 and the tube 25 can be prevented from becoming too large when the steam generator 1 is started, the load applied to the joint between the tube 25 and the evaporation tank 21 can be reduced. As a result, the durability of the steam generator 1 can be improved while suppressing the manufacturing cost of the steam generator 1. Further, by increasing the flow rate of the hot water flowing to the tube 25 side as the temperature of the spray water rises, the time until the start of steam generation when the steam generator 1 is started can be shortened.

  (2) The steam generator 1 includes the storage unit 70 that stores the temperature of the spray water and the opening of the three-way valve 15 in association with each other, and the startup valve control unit 82 stores the measured spray water. The three-way valve 15 was controlled based on the opening degree stored in the storage unit 70 corresponding to the temperature. Thereby, starting of the steam generator 1 can be performed more smoothly.

  (3) The steam generator 1 is configured to include an activation control stop unit 83. When the temperature of the spray water exceeds the first temperature, the activation control stop unit 83 includes a three-way valve by the activation valve control unit 82. 15 controls were terminated. As a result, the start-up control can be terminated while the temperature of the spray water is sufficiently increased and the evaporation tank 21 is heated. Therefore, the startup control of the steam generator 1 can be terminated at an appropriate timing.

The preferred embodiment of the steam generator 1 of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate.
For example, in this embodiment, hot water is used as the heat source fluid, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, other fluids such as exhaust gas and air may be used as the heat source fluid.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the flow regulating valve was comprised by the three-way valve 15, it is not restricted to this. That is, the flow rate adjusting valve may be configured by combining a plurality of valves.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the temperature of the spray water was measured by the spray water temperature sensor 13, it is not restricted to this. That is, the temperature of the spray water may be measured by the makeup water temperature sensor 14.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the spray water temperature sensor 13 has been arrange | positioned in the downstream of the spray water pump 7 and the upstream of the spray water heat exchanger 4 in the spray water line L4, it is not restricted to this. That is, the spray water temperature sensor 13 may be disposed on the downstream side of the spray water heat exchanger 4 in the spray water line L4.
