Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy recovery, and more specifically, relates to a device and method for recovering and reusing waste heat from boiler flue gas in thermal power plants. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, coal-fired power generation remains the primary mode of power generation in my country. The flue gas temperature of coal-fired boilers is generally 120℃~150℃, and the large amount of low-grade waste heat they carry is usually difficult to utilize and ultimately has to be released into the atmosphere. Although the power generation efficiency of thermal power generation has been continuously improving, its basic scale is enormous, so a large amount of heat energy is lost to the atmosphere every year with the flue gas emissions.

[0003] With the continuous iteration and upgrading of energy-saving and environmentally friendly products, research on improving the thermal efficiency of high-emission industries such as boilers is gradually gaining momentum. Boiler efficiency is closely related to its various losses. Boiler losses consist of flue gas losses, mechanical incomplete combustion losses, ash and slag physical losses, chemical incomplete combustion losses, and heat dissipation losses. Among these five losses, flue gas losses have the greatest impact on boiler efficiency, accounting for approximately 5-8%. Therefore, reducing flue gas losses is of great significance for improving boiler efficiency and the overall power generation economy of the plant. Summary of the Invention

The heat exchange plate 3 is set at the bottom of the inner shell of the double-shell 4, and the heat exchange plate 3 corresponds to the liquid phase change medium. This device is composed of multi-stage heating devices, which can heat the heat medium water after the steam turbine 11 to a relatively stable state to a certain extent, so as to achieve stable heating, reduce resource waste, and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0022] The condenser 7 is equipped with a condenser tube 701, and one end of the condenser tube 701 is equipped with a coal heat outlet pipe 702, and the other end of the condenser tube 701 is connected to the steam turbine 11 through a connecting pipe 15. Heat exchanger 8 is connected between generator 6 and solution pump 12 via connecting pipe 15, and one side of heat exchanger 8 is connected to two absorbers 9 via connecting pipe 15. The boiler generates a large amount of waste heat when it is working, and the steam turbine 11 generates a large amount of condensation heat when it is working. In order to avoid these resources being wasted, a first-type absorption heat pump is introduced. The driving heat source of generator 6 is steam or fuel. Absorber 9 and condenser 7 form a heating circuit to heat the heat medium. Evaporator 10 absorbs heat from low-grade heat source through waste heat circuit to generate refrigerant steam.

This fully utilizes the heat source of the two important links in the entire power generation system, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency of coal-fired power generation, improving boiler efficiency, realizing cascaded energy recovery, reducing energy loss rate, and alleviating energy pressure.

The dilute lithium bromide solution is discharged from the solution pump 12, heated and purified by the heat exchanger 8, and then enters the absorber 9. It is sprayed onto the surface of the heat transfer tube and absorbs the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator 10, becoming a dilute lithium bromide solution again. After entering the absorber 9, the heat medium completes the first heating process using the heat absorbed by the lithium bromide solution. In the condenser 7, the latent heat of condensation of the high-temperature secondary steam from the generator 6 is used to reheat the heat medium from the absorber 9, which has already been heated once, until it reaches the required temperature. The steam is then condensed into condensate and transported back to the evaporator 10 for continued evaporation.

[0025] The tri-thermal nuclear gas water heater utilizes the high heat transfer coefficient of phase change heat transfer to fully utilize the heat of the high-temperature flame for the first heat absorption; simultaneously, by arranging finned tubes 5 in the interlayer of the flue 14, it completes the second heat absorption of the waste heat of the flue gas, thus fully utilizing the heat generated by gas combustion and significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency of equipment using high-temperature flue gas as a heat source; the heat exchanger 8 uses high-temperature flame or high-temperature flue gas as a heat source and includes at least a double-layer shell 4; the lower part of the internal space of the inner shell is filled with a liquid phase change medium, and at least one coil 1 is installed in the upper part; the heated fluid flows in the coil 1; the downstream side pipe of the coil 1 extends out After the inner shell, at least one circumferential pipe 403 is formed in the cavity between the two shells 4; the bottom heat exchange plate 3 of the inner shell is located above the heat source; the cavity between the two shells 4 forms a flue gas passage. After the heat source heats the bottom heat exchange plate 3 of the inner shell, the flue gas rises from the bottom periphery of the inner shell along the flue gas passage and transfers heat to the heated fluid in the circumferential pipe 403; the heating equipment using the heat exchanger 8 of this device can significantly improve the heat utilization rate; if used in a gas water heater, it can significantly improve the problems of small heat exchange temperature difference, insufficient heat utilization, and poor outlet water temperature stability of existing gas water heaters.
