May I ask, when condensing steam from 180°C to around 40°C using two-stage condensation, is it possible to use circulating water for the condensation process? Is frozen brine required for the second-stage condensation, and what should be the inlet and return temperatures of the frozen brine?
Consider heat recovery first and use circulating water for cooling; do not cool directly, as this results in inefficient use of energy
Steam is cooled with circulating water, which is quite expensive
So what should be used for cooling? ? Looking forward to your advice
There are many places in the manufacturing process where steam is used
No, sir. What I’m asking is: if steam condensation doesn’t use circulating water, what is used for cooling?
It’s a real shame! What is the purpose of cooling it down to 40 degrees? Do you want to use the condensate water?
After the steam is used to heat the process materials, it turns into condensed water, thus the heat from the steam can be utilized
Options such as waste heat power generation, lithium bromide refrigeration, and heating of process materials can be considered, with circulating water used for cooling afterward
