Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and particularly relates to a novel heat exchanger for recovering waste heat and resisting erosion and corrosion. BACKGROUND

[0002] The novel heat exchanger for recovering waste heat and resisting erosion and corrosion is widely applied to the waste heat recovery scene of high-temperature and high-speed dust-containing flue gas in the industrial field; the flue gas discharged by various industrial kilns and combustion equipment in the fields of thermal power generation, steel smelting and chemical production usually has the characteristics of high temperature, high-speed flow and carrying a large number of dust particles, for example, the flue gas discharged by a sintering machine in a steel sintering process and high-temperature dust-containing tail gas generated by a waste incinerator; the flue gas not only contains a large amount of recoverable heat energy, but also causes continuous erosion of the surface of the heat exchanger under the high-speed flow of the dust particles carried by the flue gas, and the acid gases (such as SO2 and HCl) in the flue gas form condensate under specific temperature conditions, further aggravating the corrosion damage of the equipment; the traditional heat exchanger usually faces problems of reduced heat exchange efficiency and short maintenance period under this kind of working condition, and a novel waste heat recovery equipment capable of resisting erosion and chemical corrosion is urgently needed.

[0003] Some devices in the prior art adopt a spiral finned tube structure and select ND steel (09CrCuSb) as the heat exchange tube material, aiming to improve the corrosion resistance of the material to cope with the corrosion problem of sulfur-containing flue gas; however, the technology mainly relies on a passive corrosion prevention strategy, and the spiral finned tube structure still has the following disadvantages in the high-temperature and high-speed dust-containing flue gas environment: first, the surface of the fin is easy to be worn due to the continuous impact of the dust particles, resulting in thinning or even breaking of the fin and weakening of the heat exchange area; second, although the ND steel has a certain corrosion resistance in concentrated sulfuric acid medium, it may still be corroded in a dilute acid environment or under high-temperature oxidation conditions, especially under the working condition of large flue gas temperature fluctuation, the passivation film on the surface of the material is easy to be damaged, and it is difficult to maintain stable protection performance for a long time; in addition, the patent does not propose an effective solution to the dust erosion caused by dust accumulation, and the dust accumulation may block the flow channel after long-term operation, further reducing the heat exchange efficiency.

[0004] In the prior art, the scouring and corrosion of high-temperature high-speed dust-containing flue gas on the heat exchanger mainly exhibit the synergistic effect of mechanical wear and chemical corrosion. On the one hand, the hard dust particles (such as SiO2, metal oxides, etc.) carried by the flue gas form a sandblasting-like effect under high-speed flow, continuously impact the surface of the heat exchanger, destroy the surface integrity of the material, and cause the metal matrix to be directly exposed to the corrosive medium. On the other hand, the acid gases (such as SO2, NOx, etc.) in the flue gas condense and form a liquid environment with strong corrosion in the low-temperature area of the heat exchanger, and an electrochemical reaction occurs with the metal surface, accelerating the corrosion loss of the material. The mutual promotion of scouring and corrosion significantly shortens the service life of the heat exchanger and increases the equipment maintenance and replacement costs. In addition, the structural design of the traditional heat exchanger often cannot balance the requirements of anti-scouring and anti-corrosion. For example, although the smooth tube structure can reduce dust accumulation, the heat exchange efficiency is low. When the finned tube or corrugated tube structure is used, the local scouring and wear are intensified due to the complex flow field. Therefore, the existing technology still has technical bottlenecks in material performance, structural design and protection mechanism in dealing with the scouring and corrosion of high-temperature high-speed dust-containing flue gas. Therefore, a new type of scouring and corrosion resistant waste heat recovery heat exchanger is proposed to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
