Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coal gas preheating, and in particular to a high-low temperature asymmetric flow channel coal gas preheater. Background Art
[0002] The gas preheater is an energy-saving device used to increase the temperature of coal gas. By preheating coal gas, fuel consumption can be reduced and combustion efficiency can be improved. During the operation of the gas preheater, due to the inevitable presence of H2S components in blast furnace gas, the components after combustion will combine with H2O to form dilute sulfuric acid. The wall temperature of the heat exchange element at the gas inlet section is lower than the acid dew point, resulting in low-temperature corrosion and ash accumulation. The low-temperature section of the traditional gas preheater is divided into two units, upper and lower, with a transverse partition in the middle, which leads to the accumulation of corrosion condensates, exacerbating corrosion and scaling; at the same time, due to load fluctuations and furnace changes, the flue gas and coal gas flow rates are reduced, and the heat exchange area of the traditional gas preheater has no ability to adapt to changes, resulting in a further decrease in the exhaust gas temperature, exacerbating the low-temperature corrosion problem, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange performance, and poor gas preheating effect.

[0035] The present invention provides a high-low temperature asymmetric flow channel coal gas preheater, comprising a shell 7 and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 9, wherein a coal gas inlet 1 and a coal gas outlet 2 are respectively arranged on the top of the shell 7, a high temperature section preheating component 5 and a low temperature section preheating component 6 are arranged inside the shell 7, the high temperature section preheating component 5 is arranged below the coal gas outlet 2, the low temperature section preheating component 6 is arranged below the coal gas inlet 1, the high temperature section preheating component 5 and the low temperature section preheating component 6 are connected via a bottom channel, a smoke inlet 3 and a smoke outlet 4 are respectively opened on the side wall of the shell 7, the smoke inlet 3 is opened on one side of the shell 7 close to the high temperature section preheating component 5, the smoke outlet 4 is opened on one side of the shell 7 close to the low temperature section preheating component 6, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 9 are arranged inside the shell 7; wherein the internal space of the plurality of heat exchange tubes 9 forms a coal gas flow channel, the external gaps between the plurality of heat exchange tubes 9 form a smoke flow channel, the coal gas in the coal gas flow channel is preheated by the high temperature section preheating component 5 and the low temperature section preheating component 6, and the coal gas in the coal gas flow channel is thermally interacted with the smoke in the smoke flow channel.
[0036] Specifically, when the preheater is in operation, the coal gas enters the heat exchange tube 9 at the low temperature section preheating assembly 6 from the coal gas inlet 1 at the top of the shell 7, flows from top to bottom to the bottom along the heat exchange tube 9 for initial temperature increase, then enters the heat exchange tube 9 in the high temperature section preheating assembly 5 through the bottom channel of the low temperature section preheating assembly 6, then flows from bottom to top for secondary temperature increase to the required temperature, and finally leaves from the coal gas outlet 2, and the entire coal gas flow trajectory is U-shaped; at the same time, the flue gas enters the high temperature section preheating assembly 5 from the flue gas inlet 3 and flows from top to bottom, then enters the low temperature section preheating assembly 6 through the bottom of the high temperature section preheating assembly 5 and turns to flow upward, and finally leaves from the flue gas outlet 4, and the entire flue gas flow trajectory is also U-shaped. In this way, a U-shaped pure countercurrent flow space of coal gas and flue gas is formed, so that the heat exchange end difference of the preheater is small, the temperature of the flue gas temperature inlet 3 and the coal gas outlet 2 are as close as possible, the heat exchange temperature difference is maximized, the heat exchange performance is improved, and the coal gas preheating effect is better.
[0037] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a tube sheet 10 is further included, and the tube sheet 10 is respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the high-temperature section preheating assembly 5 and the low-temperature section preheating assembly 6 and forms a closed space with the inner wall of the shell, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 9 pass through the tube sheet 10 and are welded on the tube sheet 10. Among them, the tube sheet 10 is installed on the upper and lower sides of the high-temperature section preheating assembly 5 and the low-temperature section preheating assembly 6, so as to form a closed space with the inner wall of the shell, which can further improve the air tightness and heat preservation of the place.
[0038] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a cleaning port 8 is provided on the side wall of the bottom of the housing 7. The cleaning port 8 is provided to facilitate cleaning and discharging of dust or other particles accumulated inside the housing 7.
[0039] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the gas inlet 1, the gas outlet 2, the smoke inlet 3 and the smoke outlet 4 are all provided with reducers. The reducers can connect pipes of different diameters. Therefore, installing the reducers facilitates the gas inlet 1, the gas outlet 2, the smoke inlet 3 and the smoke outlet 4 of the housing 7 to better connect different gas pipes and smoke pipes, thereby improving adaptability.
[0040] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the flattening rate of the heat exchange tube 9 arranged at the high-temperature preheating component 5 is greater than the flattening rate of the heat exchange tube 9 arranged at the low-temperature preheating component 6. In this way, the flow channel space of the coal gas and the flue gas inside and outside the heat exchange tube 9 can be effectively regulated, and the flow rate of the coal gas inside the low-temperature preheating component 6 can be further reduced, so that the temperature of the coal gas and the flue gas can be fully heat exchanged, thereby improving the heat exchange performance of the preheater. In addition, the materials of the heat exchange tubes 9 at the high-temperature preheating component 5 and the low-temperature preheating component 6 are different, and the low-temperature preheating component 6 can be made of stainless steel with stronger corrosion resistance.
[0041] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the heat exchange tube 9 is a high-efficiency HP heat exchange tube. Among them, the high-efficiency HP heat exchange tube has a special spiral structure, and the fluid inside and outside the tube can form a strong spiral turbulence, which enhances the disturbance of the boundary layer of the fluid inside and outside the tube, destroys the boundary layer close to the heat exchange wall, thus enhancing the heat transfer effect, ensuring the gas flow rate while reducing the pressure drop, and improving the heat exchange efficiency by 50-100%, while reducing the possibility of flue gas ash accumulation and scaling, and improving the ability to resist ash accumulation.
[0042] In the above embodiment, further, one end of the high-efficiency HP heat exchange tube arranged at the high-temperature preheating component 5 is an elliptical straight tube 11, and the other end is an elliptical twisted tube 12, and the short axis of the elliptical straight tube 11 is the windward surface; one end of the high-efficiency HP heat exchange tube arranged at the low-temperature preheating component 6 is a straight round tube 13, and the other end is an elliptical twisted tube 12. Among them, the straight round tube 13 arranged at the upper part of the low-temperature preheating component 6 can reduce the flow rate and heat transfer coefficient of the low-temperature coal gas in the heat exchange tube 9, and at the same time increase the flow rate and heat transfer coefficient of the high-temperature flue gas outside the heat exchange tube 9, so that the wall temperature of the heat exchange tube 9 is closer to the high-temperature flue gas outside the heat exchange tube 9, thereby ensuring that the wall temperature of the heat exchange tube 9 at the inlet is higher than the acid dew point temperature, thereby avoiding the heat exchange tube 9 at the inlet from being corroded by low temperature, thereby extending the service life of the preheater and reducing the consumption of expensive metal materials at the low-temperature preheating component 6; and at the inlet of the high-temperature section of the flue gas, the volume flow of the flue gas is the largest, and the elliptical straight tube 11 can make the flue gas enter the flow channel more smoothly and minimize the body resistance.
[0043] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a plurality of heat exchange tubes 9 are modularly arranged, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 9 are arranged in a rectangular distribution. The modular assembly is adopted to facilitate the manufacture, transportation, installation, and maintenance of the heat exchange tubes 9. The compact structure is conducive to on-site installation and hoisting operations, and the installation period is short.
[0044] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a plurality of heat exchange tubes 9 form a heat exchange tube bundle, and the heat exchange tube bundle supports each other through the convex sections between adjacent heat exchange tubes 9 to achieve a self-supporting function. The heat exchange tube bundle relies on the convex sections between adjacent heat exchange tubes 9 to support and block each other at multiple points, forming a grid-like integrated structure, thereby achieving a self-supporting effect. At the same time, this design makes the shell side without baffles, which can reduce pressure drop, reduce scaling, improve heat transfer efficiency, simplify the structure and facilitate maintenance.
