Abstract

The present disclosure provides a pump-assisted degassing system, a vacuum degassing tower, and a water system having the same. The degassing system comprises a vacuum pump, connected with a degassing tower through a main pipeline, and configured to pump out a gas-liquid mixture from the degassing tower; a gas-liquid separator, connected with the vacuum pump in a closed loop through a circulation pipeline, and configured to perform gas-liquid separation on the gas-liquid mixture; and a booster pump, arranged on the main pipeline between the vacuum pump and the degassing tower, and configured to assist the vacuum pump to pump out the gas-liquid mixture. The vacuum pump and the booster pump constitute a two-stage pumping device. Only one vacuum pump is needed in the system, and the vacuum pump requires less circulating water and less motor power resulting in lower the equipment load loss in the operation efficiency.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pump-assisted degassing system, comprising:
a vacuum pump, connected with a degassing tower through a main pipeline, and configured to pump out a gas-liquid mixture from the degassing tower;
a gas-liquid separator, connected with the vacuum pump in a closed loop through a circulation pipeline, and configured to perform gas-liquid separation on the gas-liquid mixture; and
a booster pump, arranged on the main pipeline between the vacuum pump and the degassing tower, and configured to assist the vacuum pump to pump out the gas-liquid mixture.

2. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 1 , wherein the booster pump is connected with a vacuum pipeline in a closed loop, and the vacuum pipeline is provided with a vacuum switch.

3. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 2 , wherein the vacuum pipeline is provided with a vacuum gauge.

4. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 2 , wherein the vacuum pipeline is provided with a vacuum breaking valve.

5. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 2 , wherein the vacuum pipeline is provided with a bypass valve.

6. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 3 , wherein when the vacuum gauge shows an abnormal vacuum pressure, the vacuum switch operates to discharge water from the vacuum pipeline through a bypass valve and a vacuum breaking valve.

7. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 1 , wherein the main pipeline is provided with an inlet valve arranged between the booster pump and the degassing tower to control the connection therebetween.

8. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 1 , wherein the main pipeline is provided with a check valve arranged between the booster pump and the vacuum pump to stop backflow from the vacuum pump to the booster pump.

9. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 1 , wherein the circulation pipeline is provided with a cooler to cool the gas-liquid mixture.

10. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 1 , wherein the gas-liquid separator includes a liquid level gauge to maintain a water level of the gas-liquid separator.

11. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 1 , wherein a required motor power of the vacuum pump is no more than 25 horsepower.

12. The pump-assisted degassing system of claim 1 , wherein a required volume of circulating cooling water of the pump-assisted degassing system is 45 liters per minute.

13. A vacuum degassing tower, comprising:
a tower body; and
a degassing system, comprising:
a vacuum pump, connected with a degassing tower through a main pipeline, and configured to pump out a gas-liquid mixture from the degassing tower;
a gas-liquid separator, connected with the vacuum pump in a closed loop through a circulation pipeline, and configured to perform gas-liquid separation on the gas-liquid mixture; and
a booster pump, arranged on the main pipeline between the vacuum pump and the degassing tower, and configured to assist the vacuum pump to pump out the gas-liquid mixture,

wherein the vacuum pump is connected with an upper portion of the tower body, and is configured to pump out the gas-liquid mixture from the tower body, and wherein the booster pump is arranged between the vacuum pump and the tower body.

14. The vacuum degassing tower of claim 13 , wherein booster pump is connected with a vacuum pipeline in a closed loop, and the vacuum pipeline is provided with a vacuum switch.

15. The vacuum degassing tower of claim 14 , wherein the vacuum pipeline is provided with a vacuum gauge.

16. The vacuum degassing tower of claim 14 , wherein the vacuum pipeline is provided with a vacuum breaking valve.

17. The vacuum degassing tower of claim 14 , wherein the vacuum pipeline is provided with a bypass valve.

18. The vacuum degassing tower of claim 15 , wherein when the vacuum gauge shows an abnormal vacuum pressure, the vacuum switch operates to discharge water from the vacuum pipeline through a bypass valve and a vacuum breaking valve.

19. The vacuum degassing tower of claim 13 , wherein the main pipeline is provided with an inlet valve arranged between the booster pump and the degassing tower to control the connection therebetween.

20. A water system, comprising:
a vacuum degassing tower, comprising:
a tower body, and
a degassing system, comprising:
a vacuum pump, connected with a degassing tower through a main pipeline, and configured to pump out a gas-liquid mixture from the degassing tower;
a gas-liquid separator, connected with the vacuum pump in a closed loop through a circulation pipeline, and configured to perform gas-liquid separation on the gas-liquid mixture; and
a booster pump, arranged on the main pipeline and between the vacuum pump and the degassing tower, and configured to assist the vacuum pump to pump out the gas-liquid mixture,

wherein the vacuum pump is connected with an upper portion of the tower body, and is configured to pump out the gas-liquid mixture from the tower body, and wherein the booster pump is arranged between the vacuum pump and the tower body.
