Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air preheaters, and in particular relates to a carbon black production high-temperature air preheater anti-coal hanging guide pipe device. Background Art

[0002] Air preheater is one of the key equipment in the carbon black production process.

[0003] The air preheater adopts a countercurrent design for the heat absorption and release media, thereby obtaining a higher heat transfer driving force, transferring the heat of the flue gas to the intake air, lowering the flue gas temperature, reducing the amount of quenching water used, and increasing the calorific value of the carbon black tail gas; after the air absorbs heat, the thermal enthalpy is increased, and under the same process conditions, the amount of fuel oil used in the reactor is reduced, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0004] As air preheaters operate longer, heat exchange tube blockage becomes more common, causing increased furnace pressure and disrupting normal production. Blockages are most common in the heat exchange tubes near the flue gas inlet. This is due to the high concentration of carbon black particles in the flue gas, which increases the chance of carbon black particles colliding with the heat exchange tube walls. Furthermore, residual solvent extracts on the carbon black surface create a strong adhesion, leading to some carbon black particles adhering to the tube walls during transport. Over time, this can lead to blockages.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the heat exchange effect of the air preheater or reduce the frequency of pipe blockage to ensure the stable operation of the preheater has become an important research topic. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0046] refer to Figures 1 to 5 A carbon black production high-temperature air preheater anti-coal hanging guide pipe device, in one example, the guide pipe device includes:

[0047] Diversion outer tube 11;

[0048] The inner flow guide tube 12 is sleeved on the inner wall of the outer flow guide tube 11 with a gap, and its two ends are welded to the two ends of the outer flow guide tube 12. The wall of the inner flow guide tube 11 is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped through holes.

[0049] A plurality of adjusting rods 13 are rotatably arranged on the inner wall surface of the guide tube through the strip-shaped through holes of the guide tube inner tube;

[0050] The guide rubber plate 14 is fixed on the adjustment rod;

[0051] A control module, wherein the control module adjusts the shape of the guide member to adjust the incoming flue gas of the guide inner pipe;

[0052] The control module includes a sensor module, a strategy module and a regulation module. The sensor module can detect the flow rate and temperature of the incoming flue gas from the inner guide pipe and import them into the strategy module.

[0053] The strategy module controls the adjustment module to rotate the adjustment rod according to the flow rate and temperature of the imported incoming flue gas, thereby adjusting the shape of the guide rubber plate;

[0054] In one example, the control strategy of the strategy module includes an initialization process and a control process:

[0055] The initialization process is as follows:

[0056] Step SA1: preprocessing the flow rate and temperature of the incoming flue gas;

[0057] Step SA2: performing data splicing on the processed flow rate and temperature to obtain connection feature data;

[0058] Step SA3: Setting a minimum rotation angle and an adjustment sequence for the adjustment rod, rotating and adjusting the adjustment rod in sequence according to the minimum rotation angle in the adjustment sequence and recording the number of adjustments, setting a single detection time, obtaining the heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater for each rotation adjustment within the single detection time, obtaining the optimal heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater and the number of adjustments corresponding to each adjustment rod, and obtaining the adjustment angle of each adjustment rod corresponding to the optimal heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater through numerical calculation;

[0059] Step SA4: Adjust the flow rate and temperature of the incoming flue gas, repeat steps SA1 to SA3, obtain the adjustment angle of each adjustment rod corresponding to the optimal heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater for different flow rates and temperatures of the incoming flue gas, splice the data in an array form, and store the data to form stored data;

[0060] The specific control process is:

[0061] Step SB1: performing data preprocessing on the flow rate and temperature of the incoming flue gas;

[0062] Step SB2: performing data splicing on the processed flow rate and temperature to obtain connection feature data;

[0063] Step SB3: traversing the connection characteristic data obtained in step SB2 in the stored data to obtain the adjustment angle of each adjustment rod corresponding to the optimal heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater;

[0064] Step SB4: Control the adjustment module to rotate and adjust the adjustment rod according to the adjustment angle obtained in step SB3.

[0065] The sensor module can use the existing sensor collection means to collect the temperature and flow rate of the incoming smoke, which will not be described here. The adjustment module (not shown) can be a combination of a motor and a transmission shaft, wherein the motor is electrically connected to the aforementioned strategy module, and the transmission shaft is electrically connected to the strategy module. Figure 3 The rotation center of the adjusting rod is connected, and the motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate, thereby driving the adjusting rod to rotate. Of course, other devices that can drive the adjusting rod 13 to rotate and adjust in the gap between the outer guide tube 11 and the inner guide tube 12 can also be used, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] Furthermore, in one example, the guide rubber plate 14 is an arc plate or other shape that is conducive to diversion. The guide rubber plate 14 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, which face the inner wall surface of the guide inner tube 12 and are fixedly docked with the adjustment rod 13 .

[0067] Furthermore, the adjusting rod 13 includes an adjusting long rod 131 and an adjusting short rod 132. The adjusting long rods 131 are arranged at equal intervals, and an adjusting short rod 132 is inserted between every two adjusting long rods 131. The mounting holes at both ends of the guide rubber plate 14 are connected to the two adjusting long rods, and the depth of the mounting holes is adapted to the length of the adjusting rods.

[0068] By arranging adjustment rods of different lengths, the shape of the guide rubber plate can be further adjusted, so that there is more adjustment space in the longitudinal direction to provide a richer guide shape.

[0069] Furthermore, a through hole 15 is provided at the top of the adjusting rod and the side of the guide rubber plate, and screws and nuts are provided through the through hole 15 to further fix the adjusting rod to the guide rubber plate and improve the stability of the guide.

[0070] If the maximum adjustment angle of the adjustment rod is less than the adjustment angle corresponding to the optimal heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater.

[0071] Furthermore, in one example (not shown), the inner flow guide tube 13 is comprised of two sections: a first inner flow guide tube and a second inner flow guide tube, which are rotatably coupled together. By radially rotating the first and second inner flow guide tubes apart, the adjustment angle of the adjustment rod is compensated, thereby allowing the guide rubber plate 14 to assume the optimal flow-guiding shape.

[0072] Furthermore, as an example, the first inner flow guide tube and the second inner flow guide tube are fitted together, with the first inner flow guide tube having a slide groove at the fitting point, and the second inner flow guide tube having a slider or a bead that can slide within the slide groove. Of course, since the heat exchange tube 2 is docked with the upper end of the flow guide tube 12 (see subsequent description), in this example, the upper inner flow guide tube should be docked with the heat exchange tube 2, that is, maintained in a fixed state, while the lower second inner flow guide tube should be radially rotatable, that is, separated from the lower end of the outer flow guide tube 11. Preferably, the adjustment module of the control module can adjust the rotation angle of the second inner flow guide tube.

[0073] Furthermore, the upper end of the guide inner tube 12 of the guide tube 1 is connected to the heat exchange tube 2 of the high-temperature air preheater.

[0074] Furthermore, the heat exchange tube 2 is provided with a protective sleeve 4 arranged around it, and the protective sleeve 4 is clamped in the sleeve plate 3 of the high-temperature air preheater.

[0075] Furthermore, a flare 121 is provided at the lower end of the flow guide tube 12 , and mullite castable material 6 is cast around the upper portion of the flare 121 of the flow guide tube 12 . The flow guide tube 12 and the mullite castable material 6 are fixedly connected by bolts 122 .

[0076] Furthermore, a lightweight high-aluminum thermal insulation castable 5 is cast between the mullite castable 6 and the tube sheet 3 .

[0077] Working principle: The incoming flue gas flows in the flue gas duct, passes through the flared opening 121 of the guide tube 1 and enters the inner tube 12 of the guide tube, and then passes through the guide rubber plate 14 whose shape is adjusted by the strategy module, thereby increasing the degree of swirl of the flue gas. After that, the flue gas enters the heat exchange tube 2 through the upper part of the guide tube 1. The flue gas contacts the heat exchange tube 2, and the heat exchange tube 2 heats up and exchanges heat with the air, thereby increasing the temperature of the air entering the furnace. In this process, the guide tube made of silicon carbide is not easily affected by temperature differences and corrosive gases in the flue gas, and operates more stably. The guide rubber plate 14 in the guide tube 1 can increase the degree of swirl of the flue gas, reduce the disordered collision of carbon black in the flue gas with the heat exchange tube, and reduce the probability of blockage. At the same time, the flue gas transportation distance is increased, which is conducive to increasing the heat exchange efficiency, increasing the temperature of the air entering the furnace, and reducing energy consumption.

[0078] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the embodiments of the accompanying drawings. A person skilled in the art can make various modifications to the present invention based on the above description. Therefore, certain details in the embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined by the appended claims.
