I would like to ask the experts: how can we make full use of the heat from steam?
Thread Content
Heat exchangers that use steam generally have valves (such as steam traps or stop valves) and pipelines for draining condensate. However, the hot water that passes through the steam trap is accompanied by a large amount of flash vapor. Is there any good way to make use of this flash vapor along with the hot water? I see that many enterprises have direct emissions, while others use circulating cooling water for cooling purposes, as well as to replenish water for fire-fighting systems and other applications. Some companies have their own boilers, and they can only recycle the hot water to be used for heat exchange in the boiler’s soft water tank or to top up the water level. But all of these methods involve condensing flash steam into water and cooling that water; water is recovered, but electrical energy is wasted along with significant investment in cooling tower equipment. Are there any technologies or equipment in the industry that require relatively low investment while still enabling the full recovery of this heat? Please, experts, give me some advice! ! !
During the preheating process, due to the mixing of water vapor, water hammer occurs under pressurized conditions. Is there a good solution?
High voltage to low voltage, low voltage to even lower voltage
Is this approach then an overuse of high energy? Doing this itself wastes some energy, right? It’s best to make use of it on-site where the pressure differences are not significant. Regarding the pressure reduction gradient you mentioned, after it is utilized in the final stage, there should still be a portion that cannot be utilized.
If in the Shanghai area, we can purchase directly. Thank you!
Yes, are you in the Shanghai area? Thank you!
Check the temperature of your condensate water; if it’s above 100 degrees, waste heat can be utilized in a Rankine cycle
I’m from Shandong, and the transportation cost of condensed water is even higher than that of water; P
