Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a waste heat utilization method and system, in particular to a waste heat utilization method and system applied to an open ring type baking furnace for producing anodes, cathodes, electrodes and carbon graphitization materials for aluminum industry. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the electrolytic aluminum industry has developed rapidly, driving the prebaked anode industry to develop rapidly and gradually form a large scale, from the previous 100,000 tons to the current 300,000 tons. As the last process of prebaked anode, the baking furnace is gradually becoming large-scale, which brings the problem of high environmental temperature in the workshop, affecting the normal operation of the multifunctional overhead crane.

[0003] The traditional baking process uses a blast stand to forcibly cool the high-temperature carbon blocks. The principle is that in the forced cooling area of the baking, the high-temperature carbon blocks are cooled by blowing in normal temperature air, but the high-temperature air (temperature 150-200℃) after heat exchange is directly discharged to the workshop through the fire hole, causing the environmental temperature in the workshop to be too high. In Xinjiang, the temperature in the overhead crane area is even as high as 70℃, which seriously affects production. Therefore, the induced draft type forced cooling process is applied to the baking process, which can solve the problem of carbon block secondary oxidation and reduce the environmental temperature in the workshop, and it is possible to recover the heat of the medium-temperature flue gas. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application is to solve the above technical problems and provides a waste heat utilization method and system, which aims to maximize the utilization of the heat in the collected medium-temperature flue gas and achieve the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the waste heat utilization method of an open ring type baking furnace collects the 150-200℃ medium-temperature flue gas in the forced cooling area of the open ring type baking furnace and sends it to the adjacent green block store through the induced draft stand and the main pipeline for heating when heating is needed, and sends it to the low-temperature waste heat boiler to produce 40-60℃ medium-temperature hot water for the factory area when heating is not needed.

[0006] A waste heat utilization system of an open ring type baking furnace, comprising an open ring type baking furnace, the open ring type baking furnace is arranged in a baking workshop, a green block store is adjacent to the baking workshop, the medium-temperature flue gas in the forced cooling area of the open ring type baking furnace is introduced into the main pipeline fixed on the furnace surface through the induced draft stand, the main pipeline is connected with branch pipeline one and branch pipeline two respectively, branch pipeline one is connected with the radiator in the green block store, the end of branch pipeline one is connected with the outdoor fan, and branch pipeline two is connected with the low-temperature waste heat boiler arranged in the baking workshop and then connected with the outdoor fan.

[0007] The main pipeline is fixedly installed in the middle area of ​​the open ring-type roasting furnace. An ascending pipeline is installed on the main pipeline and connected to the induced draft frame. Branch pipeline butterfly valves are installed at the inlet of branch pipeline one and branch pipeline two to control the flow direction of the medium-temperature flue gas.

[0008] The number of rising pipes is half the number of chambers in the open-loop roasting furnace. Each chamber shares a rising pipe, and a butterfly valve is installed between the rising pipe and the main pipe.

[0009] After entering the raw block storage, the branch pipe goes around the raw block storage. A certain number of radiators are installed on the branch pipe to provide heating using the heat from the flue gas.

[0010] The fan is connected to the flue gas exhaust pipe.

[0011] The main pipeline, branch pipeline one, and branch pipeline two are insulated.

[0012] Advantages and effects of the present invention:

[0013] This invention solves the problem of excessively high workshop temperatures caused by direct exhaust of flue gas into the workshop, which in turn affects the failure of multi-functional vehicles. On the other hand, it centrally collects the flue gas discharged from the forced cooling zone of the roasting furnace, maximizing the utilization of its heat and achieving energy saving and consumption reduction.
