Description

  The present invention relates to a steam temperature reducing apparatus capable of reducing the temperature of steam in a high temperature state to a predetermined temperature, for example, a saturated steam temperature.

  The steam temperature reducing device supplies a cooling fluid such as cooling water to overheated high temperature steam to reduce the temperature of the steam to a predetermined temperature.

In this steam temperature reducing device, the secondary side drain (condensate) of the heating container, that is, the liquid, is used as a cooling fluid to contact the high temperature steam to reduce the temperature of the steam. There has been a problem that temperature unevenness occurs in the reduced temperature steam without being reduced in temperature. That is, even if the cooling water is supplied to the high-temperature steam through a nozzle or the like, the steam and water droplets are not mixed uniformly and entirely, resulting in temperature unevenness.

  The problem to be solved is to provide a steam temperature reducing device in which the high temperature steam and the cooling fluid are uniformly and uniformly mixed so as not to cause temperature unevenness in the temperature reduced steam.

In the present invention, a cooling fluid is supplied into high-temperature steam to reduce the temperature of the high-temperature steam to a predetermined temperature state.A steam ejector is attached to the high-temperature steam supply pipe, and the steam ejector has a double-pipe structure. the inside of the double pipe structure and the ejector passage flowing down of steam, as a heat exchange unit comprising a low-temperature steam outside the cooling fluid is the heat exchange of the double tube structure, the tube to the upper end of the heat exchange portion of the outer Attach a passage to connect to the suction port of the steam ejector, connect to the cooling fluid tank through the communication pipe at the bottom of the outer heat exchange section, and attach a steam trap to the front side of the cooling fluid tank of the communication pipe The amount of the cooling fluid to be supplied to the outer heat exchanging portion to the cooling fluid supply pipe, with the circulation path attached to the lower side surface of the cooling fluid tank and connected to the circulation pump, with the upper end of the circulation path as the cooling fluid supply pipe Attaching a control valve for controlling to heat the low-temperature steam generated in the heat exchange unit is supplied from the suction port of the steam ejector into the hot vapor and the cooling fluid supplied to the heat exchanger to a predetermined temperature cooled A fluid heating unit is provided, and the cooling fluid heating unit communicates with the circulation path .

  In the steam temperature reducing device of the present invention, the high-temperature steam and the cooling fluid are heat-exchanged in the heat exchange section outside the double-pipe structure, the cooling fluid is evaporated to become low-temperature steam, and mixed with the high-temperature steam in the steam ejector. By this, it becomes quick mixing of the steam of high temperature steam and low temperature steam, and high temperature steam can be reduced in temperature without unevenness. Further, by providing a cooling fluid heating unit that heats the cooling fluid supplied to the heat exchange unit to a predetermined temperature, the temperature of the cooling fluid supplied to the heat exchange unit rises and is supplied to the heat exchange unit. As the cooling fluid is immediately vaporized into low-temperature steam, the generation efficiency of low-temperature steam can be increased.

  The present invention heat-exchanges the high-temperature steam and the cooling fluid in the heat exchange section outside the double-pipe structure, and evaporates the cooling fluid to generate low-temperature steam. The heat exchange with the cooling fluid is preferably such that the high-temperature steam and the cooling fluid indirectly exchange heat.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, in which a high-temperature steam supply pipe 1 in which superheated high-temperature steam flows down from the left side to the right side, a cooling fluid heating unit 8, and a double-pipe structure steam. The ejector 2 constitutes a steam temperature reducing device.

  The steam ejector 2 having a double pipe structure is an ejector passage connected to the high-temperature steam supply pipe 1 via the cooling fluid heating portion 8 in the inner passage 4 and the outer sealed space 5 as a heat exchange portion. To do. A cooling fluid supply pipe 6 to be described later is connected to the upper part of the outer heat exchange section 5. Although not shown, a spray nozzle for spraying the cooling fluid into the heat exchange unit 5 is attached to the end of the cooling fluid supply pipe 6 in the heat exchange unit 5. Connected to the outlet side of the inner ejector passage 4 is a temperature-reducing steam pipe 7 that causes the steam, which has been reduced in temperature to a predetermined temperature, to flow down to the location where the temperature-reducing steam is used.

  The pipe line 3 is attached to the upper end portion of the outer heat exchanging portion 5 and connected to the suction port 14 of the steam ejector 2. A check valve 17 is attached to the pipeline 3. The check valve 17 allows only the flow of fluid from the outer heat exchange section 5 to the suction port 14 and prevents passage of fluid in the opposite direction.

A communication pipe 11 communicating with the inside of the heat exchange unit 5 is connected to a lower part of the heat exchange unit 5 and connected to a cooling fluid tank 12 disposed below. A steam trap 13 is attached to the front side of the tank 12 of the communication pipe 11. The steam trap 13 passes and discharges only the cooling fluid as a liquid to the tank 12 side in the mixed fluid of the cooling fluid flowing down in the communication pipe 11 and the low-temperature steam evaporated from the cooling fluid, Low temperature steam is not allowed to pass through.

  A cooling fluid supply pipe 18 for supplying a cooling fluid such as cooling water is connected to the cooling fluid tank 12 at an upper portion, and a predetermined amount of the cooling fluid 20 is stored inside the tank 12. The cooling fluid supply pipe 18 is provided with an open / close valve 19 that can open and close the pipe line.

  A circulation path 22 is attached to the lower side surface of the cooling fluid tank 12 and a circulation pump 21 is connected thereto. The cooling fluid heating unit 8 is communicated with the circulation path 22, and the upper end thereof is referred to as a cooling fluid supply pipe 6. The cooling fluid heating unit 8 is a sealed cylindrical tank, in which a part of the cooling fluid supply pipe 6 is arranged in a coil shape 9, and the high temperature steam supplied from the high temperature steam supply pipe 1 on the left side to the steam ejector 2. Is provided to the cooling fluid through the coiled cooling fluid supply pipe 9, whereby the temperature of the cooling fluid can be raised to a predetermined value.

An excess fluid discharge pipe 23 is connected to the lower right side surface of the cooling fluid tank 12. An opening / closing valve 24 is attached to the surplus fluid discharge pipe 23, while a control valve 25 is attached to the cooling fluid supply pipe 6 for controlling the amount of cooling fluid supplied to the outer heat exchange unit 5.

  The high-temperature steam that flows down from the left side to the right side of the high-temperature steam supply pipe 1 flows through the ejector passage 4 inside the steam ejector 2, thereby generating a suction force. The fluid in the heat exchange unit 5 is sucked. Due to this suction force, the inside of the heat exchanging unit 5 is in a vacuum pressure state lower than the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the cooling fluid 20 heated to the predetermined temperature supplied from the cooling fluid supply pipe 6 into the heat exchanging section 5 takes away the heat of a part of the high-temperature steam flowing down the inner ejector passage 4 and immediately evaporates. It becomes low temperature steam. As described above, the high temperature steam and the cooling fluid exchange heat with the steam ejector 2, so that the temperature of the high temperature steam is lowered by a certain temperature.

The low temperature steam generated in the heat exchanging section 5 is sucked into the suction port 14 of the steam ejector 2 through the check valve 17, mixed with the high temperature steam flowing down from the high temperature steam supply pipe 1, and reduced in temperature to a predetermined temperature. The temperature-reducing steam pipe 7 flows down. In this way, by mixing the high temperature steam and the low temperature steam with the steam ejector 2, the low temperature steam is spread over the entire high temperature steam, and temperature unevenness of the reduced temperature steam can be prevented.

The amount of the cooling fluid supplied to the outer heat exchange unit 5 can be arbitrarily controlled by appropriately adjusting the valve opening of the control valve 25. Further, the temperature of the cooling fluid supplied to the heat exchange unit 5 can be arbitrarily controlled by the cooling fluid heating unit 8 as well.
