[0034] The inside of the outer shell 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 11, the heat exchange assembly 6 is arranged in the mounting cavity 11, and the left and right sides of the outer shell 1 are provided with connecting openings 12, and the air inlet 3 and the air outlet 4 are respectively connected with one connecting opening 12.

[0035] The flue gas flow passage 63 is connected with the flue gas inlet pipe 2 and the flue gas outlet 5.

[0036] The heat exchange assembly 6 comprises a mounting bottom plate 61, a plurality of corrugated plates 66 are arranged on the mounting bottom plate 61, the corrugated plates 66 are arranged at equal intervals, the flue gas flow passages 63 are arranged on the corrugated plates 66, the upper and lower ends of the flue gas flow passages 63 are connected with the flue gas inlet pipe 2 and the flue gas outlet 5 respectively, the air flow passages 67 are formed between adjacent corrugated plates 66, and the left and right ends of the air flow passages 67 are connected with the air outlet 4 and the air inlet 3 respectively.

[0037] The upper end of the corrugated plate 66 is provided with a sealing plate 64, the flue gas inlets 65 of the flue gas flow passages 63 are arranged above the sealing plate 64, the corrugated plate 66 is inserted into the limiting plate 62, and the limiting plate 62 is arranged at the lower end of the sealing plate 64. The corrugated plate 66 is usually made of metal materials such as stainless steel, has good corrosion resistance, has no obvious vortex under the plate structure, has small dust adhesion of the heat exchange surface, is not easy to accumulate dust, can keep stable performance for a long time, and reduces maintenance cost.

[0038] The flue gas heat energy recovery device comprises a cyclone separator, a plate-type air preheater, an induced draft fan and a blower, the cyclone separator has a high-temperature flue gas inlet, a dust outlet and a high-temperature flue gas outlet, the high-temperature flue gas inlet of the cyclone separator is connected with a boiler exhaust port, the high-temperature flue gas outlet is connected with a flue gas inlet pipe 2 of the plate-type air preheater, an outlet of the blower is connected with an air inlet 3 of the plate-type air preheater, an air outlet 4 of the plate-type air preheater is connected with an air inlet of the boiler, and a flue gas outlet 5 of the plate-type air preheater is connected with the induced draft fan.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] The high-temperature flue gas discharged from the boiler first enters the cyclone separator, the cyclone separator separates solid particles (such as dust, fly ash and the like) carried in the high-temperature flue gas by the action of centrifugal force, the solid particles are discharged through the dust outlet, and the high-temperature flue gas subjected to preliminary purification flows out from the high-temperature flue gas outlet of the cyclone separator.

[0041] The high-temperature flue gas flowing out from the cyclone separator enters the flue gas inlet pipe 2 of the plate-type air preheater, in the flue gas inlet pipe 2, the flue gas is uniformly distributed under the action of the flow guide plate 24, and then enters the flue gas flow passages 63 of the heat exchange assembly 6. At the same time, the blower pressurizes the external air into the air inlet 3 of the plate-type air preheater, and the air enters the air flow passages 67 between adjacent corrugated plates 66. The high-temperature flue gas and the cold air exchange heat through the corrugated plates 66, so that the air temperature is increased and the flue gas temperature is decreased.

[0042] After heat exchange, the heated hot air flows out from the air outlet 4 of the plate air preheater, and is then transported to the air inlet of the boiler to enter the boiler to participate in the combustion process. The low-temperature flue gas with reduced temperature flows out from the flue gas outlet 5 of the plate air preheater, is sucked by the induced draft fan, and is finally discharged into the atmosphere or subjected to subsequent treatment.

[0043] The flue gas heat energy recovery device effectively recovers the waste heat in the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the boiler, and transfers the waste heat to the air entering the boiler, thereby increasing the temperature of the air, achieving the recycling of heat energy, and reducing the waste of energy. After the hot air enters the boiler, the combustion of the fuel can be more sufficient, the combustion efficiency is improved, the consumption of the fuel is reduced, and thus the production cost is reduced. The cyclone separator preliminarily purifies the high-temperature flue gas, removes most of the solid particles in the high-temperature flue gas, reduces the abrasion of subsequent equipment (such as the plate air preheater, the induced draft fan, etc.), prolongs the service life of the equipment, and simultaneously reduces the emission of atmospheric pollutants. The cooperation of the induced draft fan and the forced draft fan can balance the pressure in the system, ensure that the flue gas and the air flow along the predetermined path, and enable the whole system to stably operate.

[0044] The flue gas containing heat enters the flue gas flow passage 23 from the first flue gas inlet 21 and the second flue gas inlet 22 of the flue gas feeding pipe 2, and under the action of the guide plate 24, the flue gas can more uniformly enter the subsequent flow passage. The flue gas enters the flue gas flow passage 63 on the corrugated plate 66 in the heat exchange assembly 6, and at the same time, the external cold air enters the shell 1 from the air inlet 3, and enters the air flow passage 67 between the adjacent corrugated plates 66 through the connecting port 12.

[0045] The high-temperature flue gas in the flue gas flow passage 63 and the cold air in the air flow passage 67 exchange heat through the corrugated plate 66. Due to the special structure and large contact area of the corrugated plate 66, heat can be efficiently transferred from the flue gas to the air, so that the temperature of the air is increased and the temperature of the flue gas is reduced.

[0046] The low-temperature flue gas after heat exchange flows into the flue gas outlet 5 from the lower end of the flue gas flow passage 63, and is finally discharged from the air preheater; and the heated hot air flows out from the left end of the air flow passage 67, flows out from the air outlet 4 through the connecting port 12, and enters the equipment or system requiring hot air.

[0047] The above-described embodiments only express certain implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application patent should be subject to the appended claims.
