This invention relates to the field of
waste heat recovery technology, and more particularly to a
waste heat recovery device and method for power plants. The
waste heat recovery device for power plants includes: a tank, sealing plates, and heat exchange components; the tank includes a cylindrical body and end caps located at both ends of the cylindrical body; the sealing plates are disposed at both ends of the cylindrical body, and the two sealing plates and the cylindrical body form a heat exchange chamber, the sealing plates and the end caps forming a
flue gas chamber; the heat exchange components are disposed within the heat exchange chamber, with both ends rotatably mounted on the sealing plates, including a first heat exchange component and a second heat exchange component, the first heat exchange component being nested within the second heat exchange component; gears are disposed on the sealing plates, and the rotation of the gears can drive the first and second heat exchange components to rotate in opposite directions. This invention allows fluids far from the heat exchange tubes to directly contact the heat exchange tubes, improving
heat transfer efficiency and achieving full heat recovery.
