Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of boiler rapid start-up and variable load system, and particularly relates to a heat storage type rapid start-up and variable load system and method for a circulating fluidized bed boiler. BACKGROUND

[0002] The circulating fluidized bed boiler blows up the coal particles, biomass and other fuels and bed materials from the bottom of the furnace by fluidizing air, so that the particles are in a fluidized state and are combusted. The flue gas carrying part of the fine particles leaves the furnace and enters the gas-solid separator, the separator captures the particles in the fly ash, and returns to the furnace through the return feeder to form a cycle of solid particles. There is a large amount of inert solid particle bed material in the furnace, which is mainly composed of ash left over after coal combustion, and this part of the particles does not participate in the combustion reaction. Due to the strong heat storage capacity of high-temperature bed material, the residence time of fuel in the furnace is increased, and the combustion efficiency is high, so the circulating fluidized bed boiler has the characteristics of wide fuel application range; the circulating fluidized bed boiler can stably burn at a relatively low combustion temperature (800-900℃), and the generation of nitrogen oxides is lower than that of a pulverized coal boiler; by adding limestone in the furnace, sulfur dioxide can be removed during the combustion process, greatly reducing the desulfurization cost. Based on the above advantages, the circulating fluidized bed boiler is the best choice for large-scale clean use of high-sulfur and high-ash coal, gangue, washed medium coal, coal slime and biomass fuels. In recent years, the circulating fluidized bed boiler has been developing towards large-scale and high-parameter.

[0003] However, the circulating fluidized bed boiler has a large amount of bed material in the furnace, and the thermal inertia is large, which also has certain problems compared with other forms of boilers:

[0004] 1. Long start-up time and high energy consumption. Due to the existence of hundreds of tons of inert solid particle bed material in the boiler, during the start-up process of the boiler, the bed material in the furnace needs to be heated to a certain temperature first, so that the fuel in the furnace can burn stably, therefore the start-up time of the boiler is relatively long, and the energy consumption is high;

[0005] 2. Slow load regulation. During the operation of the boiler, due to the large amount of solid particles in the furnace, the furnace temperature is relatively stable, and during the load regulation process, the furnace temperature and the heat transfer coefficient change relatively slowly, resulting in relatively slow load change.

[0006] With the development of new energy technologies such as wind power and solar energy, higher requirements are put forward for the peak shaving flexibility of traditional coal-fired power plants, and it is urgent to improve the load regulation rate of the circulating fluidized bed unit.

[0009] The material conveying pipeline, the heat storage system and the compressed air system are arranged between the return feeders of the two circulating fluidized bed boilers, so that the bed material particles in the furnace can be exchanged between the two boilers. The system can rapidly heat the solid particles in the other circulating fluidized bed boiler under the premise that one circulating fluidized bed boiler is in normal operation, so as to realize the functions of rapid starting and rapid load adjustment.

[0012] Further, a first material plug-in door and a third material plug-in door are arranged at the end close to the return feeder and the end close to the return pipe of the first material conveying pipeline, respectively.

[0013] Further, a second material plug-in door and a fourth material plug-in door are arranged at the end close to the return pipe and the end close to the return feeder of the second material conveying pipeline, respectively.

[0015] Further, an air valve is arranged on each of the compressed air branches.

[0016] Further, the third compressed air branch pipe is provided with two branches after the air valve, one branch is connected to the bottom of the heat storage tank, and the other branch is connected to the end of the third material conveying pipe away from the heat storage tank; further branches can be provided according to the needs of material conveying and pipeline arrangement, and the different positions of the third material conveying pipe are connected.

[0017] Further, the connection point of the first compressed air branch pipe and the first material conveying pipe is close to the first circulating fluidized bed boiler; and the connection point of the second compressed air branch pipe and the second material conveying pipe is close to the second circulating fluidized bed boiler.

Assuming that the bed material flow is 500 kg / s, the bed material temperature can reach 600 DEG C in 10 minutes to meet the combustion condition, which can reduce the starting time of the original equipment by 80%.

[0023] 2、For the boiler providing high temperature bed material, the coal quantity is appropriately increased, and the cold bed material of the adjacent boiler is returned, so that the boiler output can be ensured without reduction; the bed material in the boiler to be started is equivalent to absorbing the heat of the coal of the adjacent boiler to be heated, compared with the traditional air duct burner burning oil or natural gas to increase the bed material temperature, and several ten thousand yuan of cost can be saved in one starting.

[0024] 3、The present application uses the heat storage tank to store high temperature bed material when the boiler is running, which can effectively reduce the radiation effect of the gas-solid two-phase flow convection in the boiler, so that the load of the boiler can be quickly reduced; the quick starting and quick load reduction of the boiler are beneficial to the regulation of the power grid, and in the background of the increasing wind power and solar power generation, the flexibility of the thermal power can be improved.

The system can make the solid particles in another circulating fluidized bed boiler rapidly heat up, realize the function of rapid start and rapid load adjustment under the premise that one circulating fluidized bed boiler is in normal operation.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] When the system is not working, all the plug-in doors and valves are in the closed state, and the heat storage tank 8 does not store solid particles, so as to ensure that the air pressure in the compressed air storage tank 4 is greater than 0.6 Mpa.

The circulating ash enters the heat storage tank 8 through compressed air to improve the speed of reducing the load of the boiler, and at the same time, the heat carried by the solid particles is stored.

The high-temperature particles are transported to the first return pipe 11 of the first circulating fluidized bed boiler 1 through compressed air, and then enter the furnace of the first circulating fluidized bed boiler 1.
