Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of boiler equipment, and in particular to a boiler air preheater water washing and sewage discharge device and a boiler system. Background Art

[0002] An air preheater, also known as an air preheater, is a heat exchanger that utilizes the heat from exhaust gases from boilers and other equipment for preheating. Its function is to reduce the exhaust gas temperature of boilers and other equipment, improving thermal efficiency, facilitating fuel ignition, stabilizing combustion, and enhancing combustion efficiency. Air preheaters are primarily used in coal-fired power plant boilers and can be categorized as either box-tube or rotary types. Rotary types are further divided into hood rotary and heating surface rotary types. Heating surface rotary preheaters are more commonly used in power plant boilers. They are typically used in two-, three-, or four-compartment types, with the four-compartment type being the most common in circulating fluidized bed boilers.

[0003] Air preheaters are critical heat exchange equipment in coal-fired power plants. To improve heat transfer efficiency, their heat storage elements require regular high-pressure water flushing to remove internal ash deposits and reduce resistance in the air and smoke system. Previously, the slurry water from high-pressure water washing in the air preheater was typically discharged directly to the boiler's zero meter, impacting on-site environmental hygiene. Furthermore, the original discharge main was arranged horizontally, where slurry accumulation could easily lead to blockage.

[0004] In view of this, this application is filed. Summary of the Invention

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0029] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a boiler air preheater water washing and sewage discharge device 100, which is used to discharge the slurry water in two adjacent air preheaters, the two adjacent air preheaters being the first air preheater 001 and the second air preheater 002; the boiler air preheater water washing and sewage discharge device 100 includes a plurality of first slurry discharge branch pipes 110 for discharging the slurry water in the first air preheater 001, a plurality of second slurry discharge branch pipes 120 for discharging the slurry water in the second air preheater 002, a collecting branch pipe 130 for collecting the plurality of first slurry discharge branch pipes 110 and the plurality of second slurry discharge branch pipes 120, and a collecting main pipe 140 for transporting the collected slurry water.

[0032] Specifically, the collecting branch pipe 130 is connected to multiple first pulp discharge branch pipes 110 and multiple second pulp discharge branch pipes 120, and the collecting branch pipe 130 is connected to the inlet of the collecting main pipe 140. The output end of the collecting main pipe 140 is located at the inlet of the slurry pool 003.

[0033] It should be noted that the boiler air preheater water washing and sewage discharge device 100 discharges the slurry water in the first air preheater 001 through multiple first slurry discharge branch pipes 110, and discharges the slurry water in the second air preheater 002 through multiple second slurry discharge branch pipes 120. The slurry water in the multiple first slurry discharge branch pipes 110 and the multiple second slurry discharge branch pipes 120 are collected through the collecting branch pipe 130, and output to the slurry pool 003 through the collecting main pipe 140, which can prevent the slurry water from affecting the on-site environmental hygiene.

[0034] In some embodiments, multiple first pulp discharge pipes 110 and multiple second pulp discharge pipes 120 extend from top to bottom, and the collecting pipe 130 includes a first collecting pipe 131 and a second collecting pipe 132. The first collecting pipe 131 is connected to the outlets of some first pulp discharge pipes 110, and the second collecting pipe 132 is connected to the outlets of all second pulp discharge pipes 120 and the remaining first pulp discharge pipes 110. The outlet ends of the first collecting pipe 131 and the second collecting pipe 132 are both connected to the inlet of the collecting main pipe 140. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first collecting branch pipe 131 can connect the two first pulp discharge branch pipes 110, and the second collecting branch pipe 132 can connect the outlets of all the second pulp discharge branch pipes 120 and the remaining first pulp discharge branch pipes 110. The outlets of the first collecting branch pipe 131 and the second collecting branch pipe 132 are collected together and connected to the inlet of the collecting main pipe 140.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first collecting branch pipe 131 is inclined downward toward the second air preheater 002, and the second collecting branch pipe 132 is inclined downward toward the first air preheater 001, so that the downstream rate of the slurry water will not be too fast and it will be slowly transported to the collecting main pipe 140.

[0036] In some embodiments, the collecting main pipe 140 includes a first collecting main pipe 141 and a second collecting main pipe 142. The first collecting main pipe 141 and the second collecting main pipe 142 are both arranged to be inclined downward. The inlet of the first collecting main pipe 141 is connected to the outlets of the first collecting branch pipe 131 and the second collecting branch pipe 132. The outlet of the first collecting main pipe 141 is connected to the inlet of the second collecting main pipe 142. The outlet end of the second collecting main pipe 142 is located at the inlet of the slurry tank 003. The length of the first collecting main pipe 141 is shorter than that of the second collecting main pipe 142.

[0037] Specifically, the first collecting main pipe 141 is a short pipe, and the second collecting main pipe 142 is a long pipe leading to the main pipe of the slurry pool. The inclination directions of the first collecting main pipe 141 and the second collecting main pipe 142 can be opposite, such as Figure 1 The length of the second collecting main pipe 142 is much greater than that of the first collecting main pipe 141, and can be 10 times, 20 times, etc., the length of the first collecting main pipe 141, which is not specifically limited here.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first collecting main pipe 141 and the second collecting main pipe 142 are connected by flanges. During normal operation, a blocking plate is installed between the two flange surfaces. A hand hole door (400×250) is installed near the flange of the second collecting main pipe 142 to facilitate flushing.

[0039] In some embodiments, there are four first slurry discharge branch pipes 110 and four second slurry discharge branch pipes 120 (φ273), three of which extend vertically, and the middle branch pipe extends downward in a bent shape, which conforms to the structure of the original slurry discharge pipeline of the air preheater.

[0040] In other embodiments, the number of the first pulp discharge pipes 110 and the second pulp discharge pipes 120 may be 3, 5, 6, 7, etc., which is not limited here.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The boiler air preheater water wash and blowdown device 100 also includes an inspection platform 150 for accessing the second collecting main pipe 142, facilitating inspection and maintenance. This new inspection platform 150 is coplanar with the existing access platform 004 and extends toward the furnace, embracing the existing access. The platform measures 1m x 1m. The pipeline is also equipped with a flange 006 (for mounting a blocking plate), a first hanging point 007, a second hanging point 008, and a third hanging point 009.

[0042] The following is a brief description of the formation process of the boiler air preheater water washing and sewage discharge device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention:

[0043] The boiler air preheater water washing and sewage discharge device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be modified on the original structure, making the most of the original structure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in , the solid line is the original structure and the dotted line is the added structure.

[0044] The existing slurry discharge pipes (four, φ273) for each air preheater remain in place, and the existing handholes on the pipes are retained. Construction begins below them. The existing slurry discharge pipes on the first air preheater are partially extended, and the existing slurry discharge pipes on the second air preheater are directly connected to the second collecting branch pipe 132. The second collecting branch pipe 132 is used to intercept a portion of the slurry discharge pipe, and the lower portion is no longer used.

[0045] also, Figure 2 Handhole doors (400×250) are installed on the second air preheater discharge main pipe on the left side of the middle, near the discharge collection point of the two air preheaters, and on the first air preheater discharge main pipe on the right side, near the discharge collection point of the two air preheaters, to facilitate cleaning of the pipes when they are blocked. The new slurry collection main pipe of each furnace air preheater is supported by the support brackets installed at the original position, and the length can be readjusted. The second collection main pipe 142 leading to the slurry pool is suspended and supported by the steel beams near the area it passes through. A new maintenance platform is built at the installation and removal of the blocking plate of each furnace, and the platform also takes into account the maintenance of the handholes on the flange surface. The new maintenance platform is installed at the original platform, sinking towards the front of the furnace. Its main load-bearing capacity is borne by the top of the collection main pipe. The platform size is 3m×1m.

[0046] In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a boiler system, including a slurry pool 003 and an air preheater, and a boiler air preheater water washing and sewage discharge device 100 of any one of the aforementioned embodiments is provided on two adjacent air preheaters, and the output end of the collecting main pipe 140 is located at the inlet of the slurry pool 003.

[0047] In some embodiments, the boiler system further includes a slurry pump and a thickener (not shown). The slurry pump is used to transport the slurry in the slurry pool 003 to the thickener for further processing of the slurry.

[0048] Specifically, a slurry pump is a centrifugal pump in terms of its operating principle. Conceptually, it refers to a machine that increases the energy of a solid-liquid mixture by utilizing centrifugal force (the rotation of the pump's impeller), converting electrical energy into the kinetic and potential energy of the medium. In this embodiment of the present invention, an existing slurry pump is used to transport the slurry from slurry tank 003 to a thickener for further processing and utilization.

[0049] Specifically, the concentrator (high-efficiency concentrator) is an existing device, which is generally mainly composed of a concentrating tank, a cake rack, a transmission device, a cake rack lifting device, a feeding device, a unloading device and a signal safety device.

[0050] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a boiler air preheater water washing and sewage discharge device and a boiler system, which discharges the slurry water in the first air preheater through multiple first slurry discharge branch pipes, discharges the slurry water in the second air preheater through multiple second slurry discharge branch pipes, and collects the slurry water in the multiple first slurry discharge branch pipes and the multiple second slurry discharge branch pipes through the collecting branch pipe, and outputs it to the slurry pool through the collecting main pipe, which can prevent the impact of slurry water on on-site environmental hygiene.

[0051] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
