The second mother tube is connected with another end of the tube pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 after converging the second molten salt returning pipe.

(8) In the heat storage process of the system, the low-temperature molten salt is pumped from the low-temperature molten salt tank 3 into the tube pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 through the low-temperature molten salt pump 2 so as to be heated by the heat exchange with the supersaturated steam. The heated molten salt uniformly flows into the high-temperature molten salt tank 19 through the second molten salt returning pipe with the second molten salt electric valve 16 and the high-temperature molten salt distribution ring 20. In the heat release process of the system, the high-temperature molten salt is pumped from the high-temperature molten salt tank 19 into the tube pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 through the high-temperature molten salt pump 18 so as to be cooled by the heat exchange with water. The cooled molten salt uniformly flows into the low-temperature molten salt tank 3 through the first molten salt returning pipe with the first molten salt electric valve 6 and then the low-temperature molten salt distribution ring 4.

(9) The fourth molten salt electric valve 1 and the third molten salt electric valve 17 are electrically connected with the control unit. The opening or closing adjustment is carried out according to different processes of heat storage and heat release, so that the heat release process and the heat storage process are integrated together and completed by one set of equipment.

(10) The upper end of the boiler barrel 8 is provided with a softened water replenishing port B and a steam outlet A. The softened water replenishing port B and the steam outlet A are respectively provided with a fourth electric valve 14 and a first electric valve 7 for respectively controlling the opening and closing of the softened water replenishing port B and the steam outlet A. The lowest point of the lower end of the boiler barrel 8 is provided with two pipes connected with the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5. The opening and closing of the two pipes at the lowest point of the lower end of the boiler barrel are each controlled by a second electric valve. In the heat release process of the whole system, the softened water replenished from the softened water replenishing port B flows into the boiler barrel 8 by gravity. At this time, two second electric valves are opened. The softened water flows into the waterway of the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 from the two pipes at the lowest point of the boiler barrel 8. After the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 is filled with the softened water, there is also an amount of softened water in the boiler barrel 8, the two second electric valves are kept open, the fourth electric valve 14 is closed, and the first electric valve is opened. At this time, the shell pass of the boiler barrel 8 and the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 can be considered as an integrated structure. The softened water exchanges heat with the high-temperature molten salt medium in the tube pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5. The softened water exchanges heat and evaporates in the boiler barrel 8 so as to supply for the heat user to use in a form of steam through the steam outlet A.

(11) The upper end of the drum 11 is provided with a connecting pipe with the lowest point of the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5. The opening and closing of the connecting pipe between the drum and the lowest point of the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 are controlled by a third electric valve 13. A condensed water discharge port D with a liquid level electric valve 12 is provided at the lowest point of the lower end of the drum 11. In the heat storage process of the system, a supersaturated steam is introduced into the steam inlet C of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5. The supersaturated steam enters the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 to exchange heat with the low-temperature molten salt in the tube pass. After heat exchange, the supersaturated steam is condensed into liquid water, and the liquid water flows into the drum 11 from the lowest point of the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5. A liquid level sensor 10 is installed in the drum 11 at a ¾ height of the drum. The liquid level sensor is electrically connected with the liquid level electric valve 12. After an amount of condensed water exists in the drum 11, a liquid level signal is converted into an electric signal by the liquid level sensor 10, and the electric signal is transmitted to the liquid level electric valve 12 to control the opening of the liquid level electric valve 12. At this time, the condensed water in the drum is discharged to the factory through the condensed water discharge port D. So, the centralized collection and utilization of condensed water are realized.

(12) Superheated steam in a low-load operation state of a boiler unit in a thermal power plant or a heat power plant is introduced into the steam inlet C, and it is beneficial for peak shaving operation. So that peak load shifting is realized, and resources are sufficiently utilized.

(13) The models of the low-temperature molten salt pump 2 and the high-temperature molten salt pump 18 are LY40-160 double-tube long-shaft submerged pumps. The model of the liquid level sensor 10 is a QH-SP200 capacitor liquid level sensor.

(14) The models of all electric valves (with reference signs of 7, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 15) of the system are optional but not limited to D943H-16C, and can be selected according to different tube diameters. All molten salt electric valves (with reference signs of 1, 6, 16 and 17) in the system are optional but not limited to 150LB-600 high temperature resistant Y molten salt valves, and can be selected according to different tube diameters.

(15) All electric valves, molten salt pumps, molten salt electric valves and liquid level sensors are electrically connected to the control unit, and automatic control of the heat storage and heat release of the whole system can be realized. The control unit is realized by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), a single chip microcomputer and other control cores.

(16) The molten salt of the working medium in the system includes, but is not limited to, binary salt (such as a binary salt composed of NaNO.sub.3 and KNO.sub.3) or ternary salt (such as a ternary salt composed of KNO.sub.3, NaNO.sub.2 and NaNO.sub.3), and is selected according to the amount of the heat storage and the temperature range of the heat storage of the system. The molten salt distribution ring is located at the bottom of each molten salt tank. The larger the temperature range, the more favorable the storage is.

(17) In the heat storage process of the system, the fourth molten salt electric valve 1 and the second molten salt electric valve 16 are opened, the first molten salt electric valve 6 and the third molten salt electric valve 17 are closed, the fifth electric valve 15 and the third electric valve 13 are opened, the liquid level electric valve 12 is opened and closed in real time according to the liquid level of the drum 11, and the second electric valves 9, the first electric valve 7 and the fourth electric valve 14 are closed.

(18) In the heat release process of the system, the first molten salt electric valve 6 and the third molten salt electric valve 17 are opened, the fourth molten salt electric valve 1 and the second molten salt electric valve 16 are closed, the second electric valves 9, the first electric valve 7 and the fourth electric valve 14 are opened, and the fifth electric valve 15, the third electric valve 13 and the liquid level electric valve 12 are closed.

(19) The working principle of the heat storage and heat release system for molten salt with steam heating of the present disclosure is as follows.

(20) The working process of the system is mainly configured to perform a heat storage process and a heat release process. In the heat storage process (see FIG. 3), the fourth molten salt electric valve 1 and the second molten salt electric valve 16 are opened, the first molten salt electric valve 6 and the third molten salt electric valve 17 are closed, the fifth electric valve 15 and the third electric valve 13 are opened, the electric valve 12 is opened and closed in real time according to the liquid level of the drum 11, and the second electric valves 9, the first electric valve 7 and the fourth electric valve 14 are closed. Industrial steam (i.e. the superheated steam) is introduced into the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 from the steam inlet C through the fifth electric valve 15 to heat the low-temperature molten salt in the tube pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5. At the same time, the low-temperature molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt tank 3 is pumped into the tube pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 through the fourth molten salt electric valve 1 by the low-temperature molten salt pumps 2. During the flowing process of the molten salt from the low-temperature side of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 to the high-temperature side of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5, the molten salt is heated by the heat exchange with the steam in the shell pass. And then the molten salt flows into the high-temperature molten salt tank 19 through the second molten salt electric valve 16 and the high-temperature molten salt distribution ring 20 for heat storage.

(21) In the heat storage process, the phase state of the steam which flows into the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 from the steam inlet C changes, i.e., from water steam to high-temperature liquid water, after this steam is performed the heat exchange with the molten salt in the tube pass to be cooled. The condensed water flows into the drum 11 from the lowest point of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 through the third electric valve 13 by gravity. When the condensed water in the drum 11 reaches the ¾ height of the drum 11, the liquid level sensor 10 converts the liquid level signal into the electric signal and transmits the electric signal to the liquid level electric valve 12, so as to control the opening of the liquid level electric valve 12, and discharge the condensed water in the drum 11 to the condensed water recovery unit in the factory for condensed water recovery and utilization.

(22) In the heat release process (see FIG. 4), the first molten salt electric valve 6 and the third molten salt electric valve 17 are opened, the fourth molten salt electric valve 1 and the second molten salt electric valve 16 are closed, the second electric valves 9, the first electric valve 7 and the fourth electric valve 14 are opened, and the fifth electric valve 15, the third electric valve 13 and the liquid level electric valve 12 are closed. The high-temperature molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt tank 19 is pumped into the tube pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 through the third molten salt electric valve 17 by the high-temperature molten salt pumps 18. During the flowing process of the molten salt from the high-temperature tank side of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 to the low-temperature tank side of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5, the molten salt is cooled by the heat exchange with the softened water in the shell pass. Then, the molten salt flows through the first molten salt electric valve 6 and uniformly flows into the low-temperature molten salt tank 3 through the low-temperature molten salt distribution ring.

(23) In the heat release process, the softened water replenished from the softened water replenishing port B enters the boiler barrel 8, and the softened water flows into the shell pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 through the second electric valves from the lowest point of the boiler barrel 8 by gravity. The phase state of the softened water changes after being heated by the heat exchange with the high-temperature molten salt in the tube pass of the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5, so that the softened water is changed into saturated steam from liquid water phase, and finally the saturated steam is supplied to heat users from the steam outlet A through the first electric valve.

(24) FIG. 2 is a cross-section view of a heat storage and heat release system for molten salt with steam heating along a-a line in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. It can be seen from the FIG. 2 that the boiler barrel 8, the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 and the drum 11 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. Electric valves are correspondingly arranged on the pipes which connect the boiler barrel 8, the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 and the drum 11 in turn, so that the boiler barrel 8, the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 and the drum 11 can form a whole. Such arrangement makes full use of the height difference of the boiler barrel 8, the fixed tube-plate heat exchanger 5 and the drum 11 to integrate the whole equipment together, and the heat storage process and heat release process can be realized on one equipment. So that the pipe connection is greatly simplified, and the occupied area of the equipment is reduced. The fixed tube-plate type heat exchanger 5 in the present disclosure can be combined with the boiler barrel to function as an evaporator on the premise of realizing heat exchange function.
