[0037] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0038] The flue gas cascade cooling system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the flue gas cascade cooling system of the present invention comprises: a spray cooling tower 1, a mixing tank 5 and a plurality of spray cooling mechanisms.

[0040] The spray cooling tower 1 includes a plurality of spray zones arranged in sequence along the direction of flue gas flow. The plurality of spray cooling mechanisms are all connected to the spray tower, and the plurality of spray cooling mechanisms are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of spray zones, so that the temperature of the flue gas cooled by the plurality of spray cooling mechanisms in sequence drops to the sub-zero temperature zone. The mixing tank 5 has a mixing inlet 50 and a mixing outlet, the mixing inlet is connected to at least one of the liquid outlets of the plurality of spray zones, and the mixing outlet is connected to at least one of the liquid inlets of the plurality of spray zones, so that the spray solution discharged from the liquid outlet of the spray zone is mixed in the mixing tank 5 and then passed into the spray zone.

[0041] Optionally, the plurality of spray cooling mechanisms include a primary spray cooling mechanism 11, a secondary spray cooling mechanism 12, a tertiary spray cooling mechanism 13 and a quaternary spray cooling mechanism 14 which are spaced apart in sequence along the flow direction of the flue gas, so that the temperature of the flue gas after being cooled by the primary spray cooling mechanism 11, the secondary spray cooling mechanism 12, the tertiary spray cooling mechanism 13 and the quaternary spray cooling mechanism 14 is reduced to a sub-zero temperature zone.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the primary spray cooling mechanism 11, the secondary spray cooling mechanism 12, the tertiary spray cooling mechanism 13 and the quaternary spray cooling mechanism 14 are sequentially arranged from bottom to top. The primary spray cooling mechanism 11 has a smoke inlet 15 for introducing smoke into the primary spray cooling mechanism 11, and the quaternary spray cooling mechanism 144 has a smoke outlet 16 for discharging the cooled smoke.

[0043] The liquid outlet of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 is connected to the liquid inlet of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 and the mixing inlet of the mixing tank through a pipeline, the liquid outlet of the fourth-stage spray cooling mechanism 14 is connected to the mixing inlet of the mixing tank through a pipeline, the mixing outlet of the mixing tank is connected to the liquid replenishing port of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 and the spray liquid inlet of the low-temperature refrigerator 5 through a pipeline, and the spray liquid outlet of the low-temperature refrigerator 5 is connected to the liquid inlet of the fourth-stage spray cooling mechanism 14 through a pipeline.

[0044] It is understandable that, since the temperature in the four-stage spray cooling mechanism 14 is relatively low (-20°C to -15°C), a solution that does not solidify at this temperature, such as a calcium chloride solution, needs to be used in the four-stage spray cooling mechanism 14. Then, in the four-stage spray cooling mechanism 14, after the spray liquid and the flue gas undergo a heat exchange reaction, the water in the flue gas will flow out with the calcium chloride solution, diluting the calcium chloride solution.

[0045] That is to say, the spray liquid of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 can also be a calcium chloride solution, that is, after the spray liquid of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 reacts with the flue gas, since the temperature of the flue gas itself (80°C-100°C) is relatively high, the spray liquid of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 contacts the flue gas, and it is easy to evaporate the water in the spray liquid of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11, so that the spray liquid of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 (that is, the concentration of the calcium chloride solution) increases. Therefore, the spray liquid after heat exchange with the flue gas in the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 and the spray liquid after heat exchange with the flue gas in the fourth-stage spray cooling mechanism 14 are passed into a mixing tank, and the calcium chloride solution can be mixed so that the concentration of the calcium chloride solution in the mixing tank is lower than that in the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11, so that it can be used again with the spray liquid of the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 and the fourth-stage spray cooling mechanism 14.

[0046] Therefore, the flue gas step cooling system of the present invention can extract the more concentrated spray liquid after reacting with the flue gas in the spray area, mix it with the dilute solution in the mixing tank, and then pass the mixed spray liquid into the spray area for cooling to ensure sufficient reaction between the spray solution and the flue gas, thereby achieving good spray cooling and dust removal effects on the flue gas.

[0047] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the water cooler 2 and the spray liquid outlet of the secondary spray cooling mechanism 12 can be connected through a delivery pipeline assembly 6, and the delivery pipeline assembly 6 includes a pipeline body 61, and a filter 62, a first butterfly valve 63, a water pump 64, a check valve 65, and a second butterfly valve 66 arranged on and along the pipeline body 61. The first butterfly valve 63, the water pump 64, and the second butterfly valve 66 can all be opened or closed by an electric actuator (such as a motor) controller.

[0048] That is, the spray liquid outlet of the secondary spray cooling mechanism 12 can be transported in the direction from the filter screen 62 to the second butterfly valve 66 to improve the transport efficiency of the spray liquid and remove some particulate impurities contained in the spray liquid.

[0049] Preferably, two delivery pipeline assemblies 6 are provided between the secondary water cooler 23 and the spray liquid outlet of the secondary spray cooling mechanism 12, that is, the two delivery pipeline assemblies 6 are arranged in parallel to ensure that when one of the delivery pipeline assemblies 6 is blocked, the other delivery pipeline assembly 6 is started.

[0050] Of course, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the medium-temperature refrigerator 3 and the three-stage spray cooling mechanism 13 as well as the low-temperature refrigerator 4 and the four-stage spray cooling mechanism 14 can be connected via a delivery pipeline assembly 6.

[0051] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mixing tank 5 has a cavity, and the mixing tank 5 includes a first mixing piece 51 and a second mixing piece 52 arranged in the cavity. The first mixing piece 51 and the second mixing piece 52 divide the cavity into a plurality of mixing zones in sequence along the flow direction of the spray solution. The first mixing piece 51 is located below the mixing inlet 50 in the height direction of the mixing tank 5, and the first mixing piece 51 has a through hole 511. The second mixing piece 52 is a tube body, and the lower end of the second mixing piece 52 is connected to the bottom wall of the mixing tank 5, and there is a gap between the lower bottom wall of the second mixing piece 52 and the bottom wall of the mixing tank 5, and there is a gap between the upper end of the second mixing piece 52 and the through hole 511, and the outer peripheral wall of the second mixing piece 52 and the hole wall of the through hole 511.

[0052] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the first mixing element 51 and the inner cavity of the mixing tank 5 define a first mixing zone, the outer peripheral wall of the second mixing element 52 located below the through hole 511 and the inner wall of the mixing tank 5 define a second mixing zone, and the tubular cavity of the second mixing element 52 is the third mixing zone.

[0053] It should be noted that the calcium chloride solution discharged from the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11 is passed into the first mixing zone through the mixing inlet 50, and the calcium chloride solution discharged from the fourth-stage spray cooling mechanism 14 is also passed into the first mixing zone through the mixing inlet 50, thereby mixing the calcium chloride solution with a high concentration (i.e., the calcium chloride solution discharged from the first-stage spray cooling mechanism 11) with the calcium chloride solution with a low concentration (i.e., the calcium chloride solution discharged from the fourth-stage spray cooling mechanism 14).

[0054] It can be understood that the first mixing element 51 can be an annular plate, the outer peripheral wall of which is connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank 5, and the upper end of the second mixing element 52 passes through the central hole of the annular plate (i.e., the through hole 511), so that the spray solution introduced through the mixing inlet 50 is mixed for the first time in the first mixing zone, and the mixed calcium chloride solution flows to the second mixing zone through the through hole 511, and is mixed for the second time in the second mixing zone under the action of gravity. The calcium chloride solution after mixing again flows to the third mixing zone. Since the bottom of the second mixing element 52 is connected to the cavity of the mixing tank 5 (the communicating vessel principle), the liquid level of the calcium chloride solution in the third mixing zone gradually rises, and the third mixing is achieved, so that the calcium chloride solution is fully mixed in the mixing tank 5.

[0055] Optionally, in a plane orthogonal to the height direction of the mixing tank 5, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first mixing element 51 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first mixing element 51 is in the shape of an "inverted frustum".

[0056] Optionally, the second mixing element 52 has a first section 521 and a second section 523 connected in sequence, the first section 521 is located above the second section 523, and at least a portion of the first section 521 passes through the through hole 511, and the radial dimension of the first section 521 is smaller than the radial dimension of the second section 523. It can be understood that the larger the radial dimension of the second section 523, the larger the capacity of the third mixing zone, so that the calcium chloride solution flows from the second mixing zone to the third mixing zone for a longer time, thereby improving the mixing effect.

[0057] Optionally, the second mixing element 52 further includes a transition section 522, which is connected between the first section 521 and the second section 523 and is located below the through hole 511. In a plane orthogonal to the height direction of the mixing tank 5, the cross-sectional area of ​​the transition section 522 gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0058] It is understandable that if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transition section 522 is generally in the shape of a "frustum".

[0059] Optionally, the distance from the upper end surface of the first section 521 to the bottom wall of the mixing tank 5 is greater than or equal to the distance from the mixing inlet 50 to the bottom wall of the mixing tank 5. In other words, the spray solution flowing into the cavity through the mixing inlet 50 will flow to the first mixing zone under the action of gravity, thereby preventing the spray liquid from flowing from the upper port of the second mixing element 52 into the third mixing zone, so as to ensure that the spray solution can be fully mixed.

[0060] Optionally, the flue gas step cooling system of the present invention further includes a liquid extraction pipe 53 , a first end of the liquid extraction pipe 53 is connected to the mixing outlet, and a second section 523 of the liquid extraction pipe 53 is disposed in the tube cavity of the second mixing element 52 .

[0061] Optionally, the flue gas cascade cooling system of the present invention further includes a liquid extraction component (not shown in the figure), the liquid extraction component has a liquid extraction inlet and a liquid extraction outlet, the liquid extraction inlet is connected to the mixing outlet, and the liquid extraction outlet is connected to at least one of the liquid inlets of the plurality of spraying zones. It is understandable that the liquid extraction component can be a water pump to extract the mixed spray solution in the mixing tank 5.

[0062] The flue gas step cooling method of the present invention is described below.

[0063] The flue gas cascade cooling method of the present invention is used for the above-mentioned flue gas cascade cooling system, and the cooling method comprises:

[0064] After dust removal, the flue gas at 80℃~100℃ is cooled to 40℃~45℃ by the first-level spray cooling mechanism, then cooled to 30℃~35℃ by the second-level spray cooling mechanism, then cooled to 0℃~5℃ by the third-level spray cooling mechanism, and finally cooled to -20℃~-15℃ by the fourth-level spray cooling mechanism; the flue gas discharged from the flue gas outlet of the spray cooling tower is subjected to low-temperature adsorption.

[0065] It can be understood that when the flue gas enters the primary spray cooling mechanism from the flue gas inlet of the spray cooling tower, the spray liquid in the primary spray cooling mechanism can reduce the flue gas from 80℃ to 100℃ to 40℃ to 45℃, that is, the flue gas at 40℃ to 45℃ is passed from the primary spray cooling mechanism to the secondary spray cooling mechanism. Among them, the temperature of the spray liquid after heat exchange with the flue gas in the primary spray cooling mechanism is about 52℃, and the spray liquid discharged from the liquid outlet of the primary spray cooling mechanism is cooled to about 42℃ by the spray liquid discharged from the mixing tank, so as to be passed into the primary spray cooling mechanism again for heat exchange with the flue gas.

[0066] Similarly, the spray liquid in the secondary spray cooling mechanism can reduce the flue gas from 40℃~45℃ to 30℃~35℃, and the water cooler 2 can reduce the spray liquid (about 42℃) discharged from the liquid outlet of the secondary spray cooling mechanism to about 32℃, so that it can be passed into the secondary spray cooling mechanism again for heat exchange with the flue gas; the spray liquid in the tertiary spray cooling mechanism can reduce the flue gas from 30℃~35℃ to 0℃~5℃, and the medium-temperature refrigerator 3 can reduce the spray liquid (about 12℃) discharged from the liquid outlet of the tertiary spray cooling mechanism to about 2℃, so that it can be passed into the tertiary spray cooling mechanism again for heat exchange with the flue gas; the spray liquid in the quaternary spray cooling mechanism can reduce the flue gas from 0℃~5℃ to -20℃~-15℃, and the low-temperature refrigerator 4 can reduce the spray liquid (about 8℃) discharged from the liquid outlet of the quaternary spray cooling mechanism to about -18℃, so that it can be passed into the quaternary spray cooling mechanism again for heat exchange with the flue gas.
