The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, a waste heat recovery device for a fixed-bed gasifier at atmospheric pressure includes a gasifier body 1, a gas heat exchanger 2, an air heat exchanger 3, a mixer 4, and a circulating water tank 5. The gas heat exchanger 2 includes a gas heat exchange cylinder 21, a heat exchange jacket 22, and a heat exchange loop assembly 23. The heat exchange jacket 22 is located on the outer periphery of the gas heat exchange cylinder 21, and the heat exchange loop assembly 23 is located inside the gas heat exchange cylinder 21. The air heat exchanger 3 includes an air heat exchange cylinder 31 and a heating element installed on the air heat exchange cylinder 21. The heat exchange finned tube assembly 32 is located inside the heat exchange cylinder 31; the gas heat exchange cylinder 21 is connected to the gas outlet end of the gas generator body 1; the air heat exchange cylinder 31 is connected to the air inlet end of the gas generator body 1; the heat exchange jacket 22 and the heat exchange ring tube assembly 23 are both connected to one end of the heat exchange finned tube assembly 32 through the mixer 4; the other end of the heat exchange finned tube assembly 32 is connected to the heat exchange jacket 22 and the heat exchange ring tube assembly 23 through the circulating water tank 5 respectively. Specifically, the circulating water tank 5 includes a water tank 51 and a water pump 52. The water tank 51 is used to store the heat transfer medium, which can be softened water. The water pump 52 is used to transport the softened water into the heat exchange jacket 22 and the heat exchange loop assembly 23, and then collect it from the heat exchange jacket 22 and the heat exchange loop assembly 23 into the mixer 4 for mixing. After flowing through the heat exchange finned tube assembly 32, it returns to the water tank to form a recycling cycle. One end of the gas heat exchanger 2 is installed on the gas outlet end, and the other end is connected to an external pipeline. The heat exchange jacket 22 is arranged on the inner wall of the gas heat exchange cylinder 21. When the gas passes through, it exchanges heat with the inner wall of the gas heat exchange cylinder 21. The heat exchange loop assembly 23 is located inside the gas heat exchange cylinder 21, which can increase the contact area with the gas and more fully exchange heat with the high-temperature gas, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Due to the different contact areas, the heat in the heat exchange jacket 22 and the heat exchange ring tube assembly 23 is uneven. The mixer is used to mix the two uneven streams of softened water, so that the temperature of the softened water delivered to the heat exchange finned tube assembly 32 is uniform. One end of the air heat exchanger 3 is installed at the air inlet end of the gasifier body 1. External air enters from the air heat exchange cylinder 31 and is heated by the heat exchange finned tube assembly 32 as it flows through it, which can increase the temperature of the air entering the gasifier 1. At the same time, this heat exchange process can remove the heat from the softened water in the heat exchange finned tube assembly 32, so that the softened water returning to the water tank is cooled, realizing the function of waste heat release. This invention uses a gas heat exchanger 2 to realize waste heat recovery and an air heat exchanger 3 to realize waste heat release, circulating heat absorption and release, which can not only solve the problem of energy waste, but also improve the gasification reaction efficiency, increase the calorific value of the gas, and meet production needs.
