Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchange equipment, and in particular to a waste heat recovery heat exchanger for reducing heat loss of boiler flue gas. Background Art

[0002] With the development of industry, boilers are widely used in the fields of electricity, chemical industry, metallurgy, etc. as an important thermal energy equipment. During the operation of the boiler, flue gas is a high-temperature exhaust gas generated by the combustion of fuel, which usually has a high amount of waste heat. If it is not recovered, this part of the waste heat will be discharged with the flue gas, causing a large amount of energy loss. Therefore, how to effectively recover the waste heat in the flue gas and reduce the heat loss of the boiler has become the key to improving the overall energy efficiency of the boiler and reducing energy consumption. In the prior art, heat exchangers are often used to recover the waste heat of flue gas, and the heat in the flue gas is transferred to water or air, thereby reducing the exhaust temperature and improving energy utilization. However, since the flue gas often contains dust and impurities, these impurities will adhere to and accumulate on the inner wall of the heat exchange tube, causing scaling and clogging of the inner wall of the heat exchange tube, seriously affecting the heat exchange efficiency. Traditional waste heat recovery systems mostly rely on manual or shutdown cleaning methods, which not only increases maintenance costs, but also has low cleaning efficiency and is difficult to meet actual production needs.

[0009] Preferably, the steel wire rope passes through the heat exchange tube, and a cleaning block is fixed on the steel wire rope. When the motor rotates forward, it will drive the second winding drum to move and then drive the steel wire rope to move. The cleaning block will pass through the heat exchange tube to clean the inner wall of the heat exchange tube. When the motor reverses, the torsion spring will drive the third gear to reset, and then drive the first winding drum to reverse, drive the cleaning block to move in the opposite direction, and continue to clean the inner wall of the heat exchange tube.

[0010] Preferably, the first box is connected to a smoke inlet, the second box is connected to a smoke outlet, and the heat exchange box is connected to a clean air inlet and a clean air outlet.

This structure avoids the tediousness of manual cleaning and improves the automation level of the equipment.

[0013] Reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs: The automatic cleaning device repeatedly cleans the inner wall of the heat exchange tube to maintain cleanliness, reducing the increase in thermal resistance caused by flue gas ash accumulation, which not only improves the heat exchange efficiency but also reduces the energy consumption of the boiler. At the same time, the frequency of equipment maintenance is reduced, thereby reducing maintenance costs and labor costs.
