Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of boiler flow balancing, in particular to a secondary air duct flow balancing device for a counter-combustion boiler layer. Background Art

[0002] For opposed-fired boilers, the efficient and stable combustion process relies heavily on precisely controlling the amount of secondary air required by each burner layer. This secondary air not only provides the necessary oxygen for pulverized coal combustion but also promotes mixing within the furnace, helping to optimize combustion efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions.

[0003] In each layer of burner, the secondary air volume enters the layer air duct and layer air box from the distribution wind box. In this process, the connection section from the secondary air duct to the layer air box is relatively short, which makes it difficult for the air to fully diffuse and evenly distribute during the flow. In addition, the secondary air needs to pass through multiple elbows, reducers and other special-shaped parts on the path from the air preheater (air preheater) outlet to the layer air box inlet, which further aggravates the turbulence of the air flow and makes the secondary air appear uneven before entering the layer air duct. At the same time, when the secondary air enters the layer air duct from the distribution wind box, it often needs to be turned horizontally and vertically, which increases the resistance of the air flow. It also makes the secondary air distribution in the layered air duct more difficult to control. Inside the layered secondary air duct, since the straight section is very short, the airflow does not have enough space and time to recover stability, resulting in an extremely disordered flow field distribution. This disordered flow field state continues to the position of the secondary air volume measuring element, which brings great difficulties to online measurement, and thus makes the data measured by the measuring device have large deviations, resulting in the distortion of the secondary air volume in the burner layer and the burnt air layer in the hedge combustion boiler, and the inability to provide actual air volume data to the operating personnel, which worsens the local combustion of coal powder in the hedge combustion boiler and increases the NOx concentration. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the porous flow-balancing element includes a connecting plate, which is installed in the layer wind box. A plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the connecting plate. The plurality of ventilation holes are arranged in multiple rows with equal spacing, and the difference in the number of the ventilation holes in two adjacent rows is.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting plate is made of one or more of low-alloy high-strength structural steel, high-strength low-alloy steel and stainless steel.

[0009] Preferably, the first flow balancing element comprises a plurality of first air guide plates, and the plurality of first air guide plates are installed in the layer air box at equal intervals;

[0010] The second flow balancing element includes a plurality of second air guide plates, and the plurality of second air guide plates are installed in the layer air box at equal intervals.

[0011] Preferably, four first air guide plates are provided, and the four first air guide plates are installed in the layer air box at equal intervals, and the four first air guide plates are installed in an inclined manner in the layer air box;

[0012] There are three second air guide plates, which are installed in the layer air box at equal intervals and are installed obliquely in the layer air box;

[0013] Projection lines of the length of the first air guide plate and the length of the second air guide plate on the same plane are perpendicular to each other.

[0014] Preferably, the first air guide plate is made of one or more of low-alloy high-strength structural steel, low-alloy high-strength structural steel, high-strength low-alloy steel and stainless steel.

[0015] Preferably, the second air guide plate is made of one or more of low-alloy high-strength structural steel, high-strength low-alloy steel and stainless steel.

[0016] Preferably, it further comprises an arc-shaped wall element, which is installed at the right-angle connection between the layer air box and the distribution air box.

[0017] Preferably, the arc-shaped wall element is a prismatic plate, and the prismatic plate is provided with an arc-shaped surface at the air inlet of the layer air box and the distribution air box.

[0018] Preferably, the material of the prismatic plate is low-alloy high-strength structural steel.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] The utility model proposes a flow balancing device for the secondary air duct of a counter-combustion boiler. In this flow balancing device for the secondary air duct, a second flow balancing element, a first flow balancing element and a porous flow balancing element are sequentially arranged at the air inlet and the secondary air volume measuring element in the layer wind box, so that the secondary air entering the layer wind box from the air inlet is rectified in sequence. That is, the second flow balancing element is installed at the air inlet position of the layer wind box, which can preliminarily adjust the direction of the airflow entering the wind box, and effectively avoid the eddy current and turbulence caused by the direct impact of the airflow on the inner wall of the layer wind box. The first flow balancing element and the second flow balancing element are installed perpendicular to each other. This cross layout not only enhances the disturbance of the airflow It not only improves the quality of the airflow but also promotes the full mixing of the airflow in the laminar air box, thereby ensuring the uniformity and stability of the airflow. The porous flow-balancing element is installed on the windward side of the secondary air volume measuring element, which can further refine the airflow, reduce the impact of local high-speed airflow on the measuring element, and improve the accuracy and reliability of air volume measurement. It makes the flow of secondary air reaching the secondary air volume measuring element uniform, improves the uniformity of wind speed distribution in the laminar secondary duct, provides a good environment for accurate measurement of the laminar secondary air volume, and thus improves the accuracy of the laminar secondary air volume measurement, makes the data error measured by the secondary air volume measuring element small, and provides actual air volume data for the operating personnel.

[0021] Furthermore, the layout of the connecting plates in the secondary air duct flow balancing device on this layer, in which the ventilation holes are arranged at equal intervals and the difference in the number of ventilation holes in two adjacent rows is 1, greatly enhances the flow balancing effect. It not only enables the airflow to be more evenly distributed when passing through the porous flow balancing element, but also effectively regulates the flow rate and direction of the airflow, avoiding eddies and turbulence caused by local airflow being too fast or too slow.

[0022] Furthermore, in the secondary air duct flow balancing device of this layer, multiple first air guide plates are installed at equal intervals and at an angle in the layer wind box, forming a preliminary flow balancing and guiding effect on the airflow entering the wind box, increasing the contact area between the airflow and the air guide plates, and also through the guiding effect of the air guide plates, making the airflow more evenly distributed in the layer wind box, avoiding the phenomenon of local airflow being too thick or too thin. Multiple second air guide plates are also installed at equal intervals and at an angle. Through the coordinated effect with the first air guide plates, multi-dimensional flow balancing of the airflow in the layer wind box is achieved, and the stability and uniformity of the airflow are improved. The projection lines of the lengths of the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate on the same plane are perpendicular to each other, ensuring the independence and complementarity of the two in the flow balancing process, avoiding mutual interference, and thus improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire flow balancing device.

[0023] Furthermore, the curved wall elements in the secondary air duct flow equalization device of this layer make it difficult for the secondary air entering the layer air box from the distribution air box to generate eddies and turbulence at the right-angle connection between the layer air box and the distribution air box, thereby guiding the secondary air to transition smoothly, reducing the collision and impact of the air flow at the right-angle connection, thereby reducing energy loss and improving the stability and uniformity of the air flow.

[0039] In this implementation, the secondary air duct structure of the hedging combustion boiler layer, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a distribution air box, which is connected to a layer air box 1. Secondary air enters the front and rear distribution air boxes from the main air duct, and then enters the layer air box 1, and is measured by the secondary air volume measuring element 5 installed in the layer air box 1.

The second flow balancing element 3 is installed in the layer wind box 1 near the air inlet, the first flow balancing element 2 is installed in the layer wind box 1 near the second flow balancing element 3, and the second flow balancing element 3 and the first flow balancing element 2 are perpendicular to each other; the porous flow balancing element 4 is installed in the layer wind box 1 on the windward side of the secondary air volume measuring element 5, and the porous flow balancing element 4 is adjacent to the first flow balancing element 2.

[0041] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6The porous flow balancing element 4 includes a connecting plate, which is installed in the laminar air box 1, that is, downstream of the first flow balancing element 2 and the second flow balancing element 3. A plurality of ventilation holes are opened on the connecting plate, and the plurality of ventilation holes are arranged in multiple rows with equal intervals. The difference in the number of ventilation holes between two adjacent rows is 1, and the number of ventilation holes in the two interval rows is the same. The secondary air after being guided by the first flow balancing element 2 is rectified through the multiple ventilation holes, and the flow uniformity of the secondary air on the windward section of the secondary air volume measuring element 5 is improved, so as to realize the flow balancing effect of the secondary air duct in the inner layer of the laminar air box 1, wherein the material of the connecting plate is one or more of low-alloy high-strength structural steel, high-strength low-alloy steel and stainless steel.

[0045] The following is a further explanation of the secondary air duct flow equalization device for a counter-fired boiler layer proposed by the present invention in conjunction with an embodiment;

[0046] A 660MW coal-fired unit, an opposed-firing boiler, was equipped with an air flow measurement element in its secondary air duct. Based on the design parameters, CFD numerical simulation was used to calculate the flow field of the secondary air system. The measured cross-sectional flow field distribution revealed that after the secondary air is deflected laterally and longitudinally by the distribution bellows, the distribution uniformity at the secondary air flow measurement section is very poor, with the air flow concentrated in a specific area. The relative standard deviation of the velocity distribution at the online air flow measurement section ranged from 41.3% to 124%, indicating extremely uneven distribution. Air flow calibration test results showed that the ratio of the measured air flow to the online air flow measurement value at each layer ranged from 0.622 to 2.878, and the deviation between different air flow coefficients reached 13.7%. When the dial flow rate increased from 72.9 t / h to 81.0 t / h, the actual air flow decreased from 117.4 t / h to 96.6 t / h, indicating a reversal in the dial flow rate. Currently, the dial air flow meter cannot accurately display the actual air flow through coefficient correction. The accuracy of the secondary air volume measurement values ​​in actual operation is very poor and cannot provide a reference for operating personnel.

[0047] In order to improve the uniformity of the flow field in the layered secondary air duct, a layered secondary air duct flow equalization device is set in the secondary air system, such as Figure 7 As shown in the figure, various installation methods of the flow equalizing device in the secondary air system are shown. After the flow equalizing device is installed, the flow field of the secondary air system is calculated using CFD numerical simulation. The calculation shows that after the secondary air passes through the arc wall element, the first flow equalizing element, the second flow equalizing element and the porous flow equalizing element, the secondary air is well filled in the layer air box, the flow field distribution uniformity is significantly improved, and the relative standard deviation of the velocity distribution at the air volume online measurement section is reduced to within 30%, which is a good effect. According to the results of the modified air volume calibration test, the maximum deviation of the burner layer air box flow coefficient is -4.90%; the maximum deviation of the burnout air layer air box flow coefficient is 4.98%, and the coefficient deviation is within 5%. Correcting the dial online air volume value according to the measured flow coefficient can ensure that the online measurement air volume deviation is within 5%, greatly improving the accuracy.

[0048] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention.
