Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an air preheater, a device for preheating air introduced into an industrial boiler, belonging to the field of industrial boilers. Specifically, it relates to a device that can be directly connected to the boiler's air inlet pipe and can refine and distribute the incoming air to improve heat exchange efficiency. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in industrial boilers, preheating is required to raise the temperature of the atmosphere inside the boiler, reducing the high energy consumption and other problems caused by rapid temperature changes associated with direct heating. Existing preheaters are used for preheating the air inside the furnace. The basic structure of a preheater is to use the temperature of the flue gas generated by combustion to act in the furnace, accelerating the rise of the atmosphere inside the furnace. However, the external air enters the furnace by being drawn in by a fan, and the airflow cannot be dispersed, so it cannot fully exchange heat with the flue gas. It is only a single flue gas heat exchange. In order to achieve sufficient heat exchange, the pipe length needs to be extended to increase the heat exchange stroke. This results in poor stability, a complex overall structure, and an inability to achieve effective air preheating.
[0003] Publication number CN210921478U discloses an environmentally friendly and efficient rotary air preheater, including: a support bearing, the support bearing supporting a central cylinder, a rotor fixed outside the central cylinder, the support bearing being fixed to a cold end central truss, the rotor being a circular structure formed by 48 rotor compartments, a partition being provided inside the rotor compartment to divide the cavity outside the rotor compartment into two symmetrical parts, and the cold end central truss being a variable cross-section fish-belly beam structure composed of an upper wing plate, two side wing plates and a lower wing plate. This device has a complex structure and a large volume, and cannot be directly adapted to existing pipe structures, especially boiler air inlet pipes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The air preheater of the present invention is implemented as follows: The air preheater of the present invention consists of a main body, a fan holder, partitions, heating rings, a fan, and a limiting ring. The main body is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part of the main body is a rectangular tube, and the lower part of the main body is a square tube, with the cross-sectional area gradually increasing from top to bottom. The limiting ring is placed on the inner wall of the lower part of the main body. The fan holder is placed inside the main body. The fan holder is divided into upper, middle, and lower sections, with the cross-sectional area of the outer wall of the three sections increasing sequentially from top to bottom. Multiple heating rings are circumferentially and equidistantly placed on the middle section of the fan holder. Multiple partitions are circumferentially placed on the fan holder. The partitions and the inner wall of the main body are correspondingly fitted. The partitions are made of aluminum alloy. The fan is placed inside the lower section of the fan holder.
