Description

 The present invention relates to a condensate recovery apparatus that recovers condensate as condensate of steam generated in a steam-using device to a condensate recovery destination such as a boiler.

 The conventional condensate recovery device is capable of recovering the condensate at a predetermined temperature flowing from the drain (condensate) recovery device 14 into the feed water tank 2 to the boiler 1 by the feed water pump 7 via the economizer 9. It is.

The conventional condensate recovery apparatus has a problem that high-temperature condensate at a predetermined temperature or higher, for example, 80 ° C. or higher cannot be recovered by the feed pump 7. This is because when a high-temperature condensate of about 80 ° C. or more flows in a normal water supply pump, a part of the high-temperature condensate is re-evaporated into steam and is crushed and crushed. This is because vibration is generated and the water supply pump is damaged in a remarkable case.

  The problem to be solved is to obtain a condensate recovery device that can reliably recover condensate to a economizer and boiler even when the temperature of the condensate is high.

The present invention recovers condensate generated by condensing steam in a steam-using device to a boiler via a conserving unit by means of a condensate recovery pump, and a condensate reservoir connected to a condensate supply pipe is disposed. Then, a re-evaporation steam discharge pipe is attached to the condensate reservoir and connected to a water supply tank, and a part of the condensate flowing down the economizer is passed through the re-evaporation steam discharge pipe and the water supply tank. A circulation path that circulates to the economizer is attached, and the condensate reservoir is connected to a condensate recovery pump through a conduit, and the condensate recovery pump is formed by an ejector and a circulation pump.

  The present invention is a high-temperature condensate because the condensate recovery pump is formed of an ejector and a circulation pump, so that the high-temperature condensate does not re-evaporate and vigorous vibrations are not generated. However, there is an advantage that it can be reliably recovered to a economizer and a boiler.

It is a block diagram which shows the Example of the condensate collection | recovery apparatus which concerns on this invention.

  In the present invention, the condensate recovery pump is formed by an ejector and a circulation pump, but the combination of the ejector and the circulation pump is not limited to one, depending on the amount and temperature of the generated condensate, and a plurality of the condensate recovery pumps. They can be used in series or in parallel.

  In FIG. 1, the condensate supply pipe 1, the condensate reservoir 2, and the condensate recovery pump 4 constitute a condensate recovery device.

The condensate supply pipe 1 has an upper end connected to a high-temperature condensate generation source such as a steam using device (not shown) and a lower end connected to the upper part of the condensate reservoir 2.

The condensate reservoir 2 is a vertically long cylindrical tank. A part of the high-temperature condensate that has flowed in is re-evaporated and collected upward, and condensate is accumulated below. A re-evaporated steam discharge pipe 8 is attached to the upper surface of the condensate reservoir 2 and connected to the water supply tank 3. A control valve 5 for controlling the flow rate of the reevaporated vapor passing therethrough is attached to the reevaporated vapor discharge pipe 8.

The lower part of the condensate reservoir 2 is connected to the condensate recovery pump 4 by a conduit 9. The condensate recovery pump 4 is formed by connecting an ejector 10 and a circulation pump 11 with a circulation passage 12. A part of the circulation passage 12 is branched and a condensate recovery pipe 13 is connected. By driving the circulation pump 11, the ejector 10 generates a suction force and sucks the high-temperature condensate in the condensate reservoir 2.

A water supply pump 6 is connected to the lower end of the water supply tank 3 and connected to the end of the condensate recovery pipe 13. A cooling water supply pipe 7 for supplying cooling water into the tank 3 is connected to the upper surface of the water supply tank 3.

The end of the condensate recovery pipe 13 is connected to the economizer 14. A condensate recovery pipe 13 is arranged in a coil shape inside the economizer 14, and a lower end portion of the condensate recovery pipe 13 is connected to a water supply port 16 of the steam boiler 15. In the economizer 14, the combustion gas generated in the steam boiler 15 and the liquid in the condensate recovery pipe 13 are heat-exchanged, and the liquid whose temperature has increased is supplied to the boiler 15 as supply water. The high-temperature steam generated in the steam boiler 15 is supplied from an upper steam header pipe 17 and a steam supply pipe 18 to a steam using device (not shown).

The lower end of the condensate recovery pipe 13 is branched and a circulation path 19 is attached. The upper end of the circulation path 19 is connected to the end of the reevaporated steam discharge pipe 8. By this circulation path 19, a part of the condensate flowing down the economizer 14 can be circulated to the inlet side of the condensate recovery pump 4.

The high temperature condensate in the condensate reservoir 2 is sucked into the condensate recovery pump 4 composed of the ejector 10 and the circulation pump 11, so that the pump 4 does not generate a violent vibration such as a burr. And recovered into the steam boiler 15.

  It can be applied as a condensate recovery device when the temperature of the condensate generated is relatively high.
