[0047] The following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the invention is taken with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form part of the description and illustrate exemplary embodiments in which the invention may be practiced.

Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined only by the appended claims.

[0048] It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of the present invention and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by the present invention. As used herein, the terms "parallel" and "perpendicular" are not limited to their strict geometric definitions, but include tolerance for reasonable and inconsistent machining or human errors.

[0049] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a detailed description of the combined radiation and convection heat exchanger:

[0050] Example

[0051] A combined radiation and convection heat exchanger, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a total flue gas inlet 1, a total flue gas outlet 2, a primary heat exchanger 3, and a secondary heat exchanger 5. The primary heat exchanger 3 is connected to the total flue gas inlet 1, and the secondary heat exchanger 5 is connected to the total flue gas outlet 2. A dilution chamber 4 is provided between the primary heat exchanger 3 and the secondary heat exchanger 5.

[0052] The primary heat exchanger 3 is a radiant heat exchanger, such as... Figures 2-3 As shown, it includes an outer ring 31 and an inner ring 32, with a cavity 33 formed between the outer ring 31 and the inner ring 32. A first guide plate 34 is provided in the cavity 33, and the first guide plate 34 spirals upward within the cavity 33. A first cold medium fluid outlet 36 and a first cold medium fluid inlet 35 are provided on the outer ring 31. The first cold medium fluid outlet 36 is located above the first cold medium fluid inlet 35. The upper end of the first stage heat exchanger 3 is the first flue gas inlet 37, and the lower end of the first stage heat exchanger 3 is the first flue gas outlet 38. The direction of the first flue gas inlet 37 is perpendicular to the direction of the total flue gas inlet.

[0053] In Example 1, the shell of the primary heat exchanger 3 is made of 347H stainless steel with a thickness of 3mm. The inner ring 32 of the shell has a diameter of 1934mm, and the outer ring 31 has a diameter of 2040mm. The diameter of the outer ring 31 is designed not to exceed the inner diameter of the anode furnace dilution chamber 4, which is 2100mm. The inner diameters of the first cold medium fluid inlet 35 and the first cold medium fluid outlet 36 are equal, both being 70mm. The first guide plate 34 is made of 347H stainless steel with a thickness of 3mm.

[0054] The primary heat exchanger 3 is welded into the flue gas duct. Specifically, the flue gas duct is provided with two intersecting square steel bars. The square steel bars pass through the wall of the dilution chamber 4 and are fixed thereon. The primary heat exchanger 3 is welded onto the square steel bars. The square steel bars are made of high alloy steel and have a side length of 40-80mm. In Example 1, square steel bars with a side length of 40mm are used.

[0055] The secondary heat exchanger 5 is a convection heat exchanger, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes a second flue gas inlet 53, a second flue gas outlet 54, a second cold medium fluid inlet 51, and a second cold medium fluid outlet 52. The second flue gas inlet 53 is connected to the dilution chamber 4, and the second flue gas outlet 54 is connected to the total flue gas outlet 2. The secondary heat exchanger 5 is provided with several second guide plates 55, which are arranged parallel to each other, forming a bent flue in the secondary heat exchanger 5. The shell of the secondary heat exchanger 5 has a second cold medium fluid inlet 51 and a second cold medium fluid outlet 52, wherein the second flue gas inlet 53 is located above the second flue gas outlet 54, and the second cold medium fluid inlet 51 is located below the second cold medium fluid outlet 52. Specifically, in embodiment 1, two second guide plates 55 are provided, so that a flue with two bends is formed in the secondary heat exchanger 5. The flue gas enters the secondary flue gas outlet 54 from the second flue gas outlet 54 under the guidance of the second guide plates 55 and bends twice. In actual process, three or more second guide plates 55 can be selected according to the final temperature required for the flue gas to be discharged, so as to extend the heat exchange path of the flue gas in the secondary heat exchanger 5.

[0056] The shell of the secondary heat exchanger 5 in Example 1 is made of 310S stainless steel with a thickness of 3 mm, an inner diameter of 33 mm, and an outer diameter of 38 mm. The second flue gas inlet 54 adopts a structure of a round place, specifically, a circular inlet is adopted at the inlet of the second flue gas inlet 54, and a flared portion is connected at the rear end of the circular inlet, and the cross section of the flared portion is square. It is surprisingly found that the inlet structure with this structure causes the flue gas to diffuse to the edge of the flue at the flared portion, so that the flue gas is distributed at each height of the upper, middle and lower flues. The existing straight-through flue causes the flue gas to be distributed only at the middle and below of the flue due to the action of gravity, and cannot contact the top of the flue. The application adds the flow guiding effect of the flared portion, so that the flue gas is distributed at each height of the flue, the contact area with the heat exchange tube is increased, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved. In addition, due to the increase in the degree of turbulence of the flue gas in the flue, the particles in the flue gas collide with the flue tube wall, so that more dust particles fall on the second flow guide plate 55 below, effectively improving the cleanliness of the flue gas, so that the flue gas discharged through the secondary heat exchanger 5 can be directly used for the anode furnace reaction stage, reducing the introduction of impurities in the reaction process.

[0057] The second cold medium fluid inlet 51 adopts a circular truncated cone-shaped inlet with an inner diameter of 150 mm, the second flow guide plate 55 is made of 310S stainless steel with a thickness of 3 mm, and the second cold medium fluid outlet 52 is a square outlet with a side length of 100 mm.

[0058] The secondary heat exchanger 5 is fixed on the flue gas pipeline, and the secondary heat exchanger 5 is provided with an angle steel at the bottom, and the secondary heat exchanger 5 is fixed by the angle steel and screws. The angle steel is made of structural steel, and the width of the angle steel is 20-50 mm and the thickness of the angle steel is 3-6 mm. In Example 1, an angle steel with a width of 20 mm and a thickness of 3 mm is adopted.

[0059] It is worth noting that since the flue gas used in the present application for waste heat recovery is the flue gas carried out of the copper refining anode furnace, it contains a large amount of particulate soot, in order to avoid the deposition of this part of impurities on the surface of the heat exchanger, affecting the heat exchange performance, and even causing blockage in the heat exchanger pipe, therefore the first flue gas outlet 38 of the first heat exchanger 3 is arranged above the second flue gas inlet 53 of the second heat exchanger 5, and the direction of the first flue gas outlet 38 is perpendicular to the direction of the second flue gas inlet 53, so that the flue gas passing through the first flue gas outlet 38 collides with the pipe below the dilution chamber 4 first, and deposits most of the soot, further, the degree of turbulence of the flue gas is increased by the gas in the dilution chamber 4, the flue gas containing soot particles collides and deposits in the dilution chamber 4, so that the particulate soot in the flue gas entering the second heat exchanger 5 from the second flue gas inlet 53 is greatly reduced; after the flue gas passes through the second heat exchanger 5, the remaining soot particles are deposited by the second baffle 55 provided in the second heat exchanger 5 and the bending section of the second baffle 55, thereby reducing the particles in the discharged flue gas and reducing the discharge of smoke.

[0060] In order to realize free switching of flue gas recovery, a flow splitting device 6 is arranged in the flue, which is located below the dilution chamber 4, the flow splitting device 6 includes a flap 61, a rotating shaft 62 extending out of the flap 61 is arranged on the axis of the flap 61, the rotating shaft 62 extends out of the flue gas pipe, and a rotating handle 63 is arranged at the end of the rotating shaft 62. In embodiment 1, the flap 61 is two identical semicircles, which are made of 347H stainless steel with a thickness of 30mm, and the diameter of the semicircle is 2050mm; the rotating shaft 62 is made of 347H stainless steel, which is a bar with a length of 2330mm and a diameter of 70mm, and the rotating handle 63 is made of 347H stainless steel.

[0061] The dilution chamber 4 also includes a dilution air inlet 41 for introducing dilution gas, which is located below the flap 61, and the distance between the dilution air inlet 41 and the first flue gas outlet 38 of the first heat exchanger 3 is 2050mm.

[0062] Using the heat of the flue gas in the copper refining anode furnace smelting process to preheat the gas for anode furnace smelting can greatly reduce the energy consumption of anode furnace smelting and promote the green and efficient development of enterprises.

[0063] In view of the smelting characteristics of the anode furnace, the gas consumed by the anode furnace is partly used for combustion of the burner, and the other part of the gas is used for smelting of the furnace body. In order to ensure the temperature atmosphere in the furnace, the burner will always be burning, and for the smelting of the furnace body, the smelting is divided into four stages of holding, oxidation, reduction and casting, and the types and amounts of gas used in each stage are different. Among them, compressed air is introduced in the oxidation stage, and nitrogen and natural gas are introduced in the reduction stage. If the combustion and smelting gas of the anode furnace is preheated, the temperature atmosphere in the furnace can be effectively improved, the use of fuel can be reduced, and the energy saving and consumption reduction of the anode furnace can be realized, so that the production cost of the enterprise is effectively reduced.

[0064] The present application recovers the waste heat of the anode furnace flue gas, which is used to preheat the combustion-supporting compressed air used by the anode furnace burner for combustion, and the nitrogen, compressed air and the like used for smelting in the furnace. In view of the fact that the combustion-supporting compressed air used by the burner is a continuous consumption gas, and the nitrogen and compressed air used for smelting in the furnace is an alternating intermittent consumption gas, the first heat exchanger 3 is used to preheat the combustion-supporting air used by the burner; and for the nitrogen and compressed air required for smelting in the furnace, the second heat exchanger 5 can be used, when the furnace body is smelted, the flap 61 is rotated to make the flue gas enter the second heat exchanger 5, and the nitrogen or compressed air is introduced through the second cold medium fluid inlet 51, at this time, the smelting gas can be preheated. The waste heat recovery and utilization of the flue gas needs to realize cascade utilization and alternating heat exchange of nitrogen and compressed air, so as to meet the overall preheating of the gas under various production conditions.

[0065] The radiation and convection combined heat exchanger of the present application realizes cascade utilization of the high-temperature flue gas waste heat resource of the anode furnace and self-reuse technology of waste heat resource reuse. The high-temperature flue gas of the anode furnace is subjected to first utilization of flue gas waste heat in the first heat exchanger 3 inside the dilution chamber 4, and the flue gas after the first waste heat utilization in the first heat exchanger 3 can be divided into two paths: if there is no need for secondary utilization of flue gas waste heat, it can be directly discharged into the flue gas total outlet 2; if secondary utilization of waste heat is needed, according to the smelting requirements of the anode furnace, when the alternating intermittent consumption gas for smelting of the anode furnace needs to be preheated, the flap 61 can be used for flow guiding to guide the anode furnace flue gas into the second heat exchanger 5 for secondary utilization of flue gas waste heat.

[0066] Wherein, in order to realize the primary heat exchanger 3 as the primary utilization of the anode furnace high-temperature flue gas waste heat resource, according to the above design of the primary heat exchanger 3 in the dilution chamber 4, numerical simulation is carried out for the heat exchanger. According to the anode furnace smelting characteristics, the anode furnace smelting flue gas characteristics in the heat preservation stage are selected, the anode furnace flue gas temperature is set to 1400 DEG C, the flue gas speed is 0.8 m / s, according to the anode furnace burner combustion condition, the primary heat exchanger 3 preheats the compressed air for anode furnace combustion, the compressed air inlet temperature is 26 DEG C, the inlet speed is 12 m / s, by means of ANSYS Fluent numerical simulation simulation platform, the numerical simulation of the heat exchange effect of the primary heat exchanger 3, i.e. the radiation heat exchanger, is carried out, and the anode furnace high-temperature flue gas temperature and speed, the compressed air inlet temperature and speed are used as the boundary conditions of the numerical simulation of the primary heat exchanger 3. Finally, the temperature nephogram and the speed nephogram of the primary heat exchanger 3 are as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 It can be seen that after the anode furnace high-temperature flue gas passes through the primary heat exchanger 3, the temperature is reduced to about 738 DEG C, and the compressed air outlet temperature of the primary heat exchanger 3 is 325 DEG C. According to the numerical simulation result, it can be seen that under the premise of ensuring the safety of industrial production, the radiation heat exchanger has strong practicability.

[0067] Figure 6 The speed nephogram for the numerical simulation of the primary heat exchanger 3 is shown in the figure. It can be seen from the figure that the fluid mainly flows along the annular channel, and there is obvious streamline bending phenomenon in the bending area and the pipeline connection. The speed size shows significant difference in different areas, and the high-temperature area is often accompanied by higher flow speed, which shows that the temperature gradient has a significant influence on the flow field. In addition, there may be speed vortex or separation phenomenon in some local areas, which is closely related to the complex geometric structure and boundary conditions in the heat exchanger. At the outlet of the primary heat exchanger 3, the flow speed is large, which also corresponds to the temperature of the cold medium fluid after being preheated, which is much higher than the inlet temperature. Since the primary heat exchanger 3 first contacts the 1400 DEG C anode furnace flue gas, higher requirements are put forward for its high-temperature resistance. Through the regulation of speed and temperature, the influence of local temperature on the heat exchanger is reduced, which shows the rationality and efficiency of the design of the primary heat exchanger 3.

[0068] The secondary heat exchanger 5, also known as the bypass convection heat exchanger 5, is used for the secondary utilization of waste heat resources from the high-temperature flue gas of the anode furnace. Based on the design of the secondary heat exchanger 5, a numerical simulation was performed as an implementation case. According to the numerical simulation of the primary heat exchanger 3 inside the dilution chamber 4, the temperature of the waste heat resources from the high-temperature flue gas of the anode furnace decreases to 738℃ after primary utilization. Therefore, in the numerical simulation of the secondary heat exchanger 5, the flue gas inlet temperature was set to 738℃ and the flue gas inlet velocity was set to 4m / s. Based on the gas requirements for anode furnace smelting, it is assumed that the preheating gas is compressed air. Therefore, the compressed air inlet temperature of the secondary heat exchanger 5 was set to 26℃ and the inlet velocity to 18m / s. Using the ANSYS Fluent numerical simulation platform, the heat exchange effect of the secondary heat exchanger 5 was numerically simulated. The resulting temperature and velocity cloud maps of the secondary heat exchanger 5 are shown below. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the temperature of the compressed air after preheating can reach 335℃, while the flue gas outlet temperature is 578℃, allowing it to be directly discharged into the exhaust pipe. According to the numerical simulation results, it can be seen that, under the premise of ensuring industrial production safety, this secondary heat exchanger 5 can effectively utilize waste heat for anode furnace smelting, greatly reducing the energy consumption required for anode furnace smelting.

[0069] According to the safety requirements of industrial production, the high-temperature flue gas from the anode furnace needs to be reduced to below 500°C before it can be discharged through the exhaust pipe. Therefore, this application calculates / designs to reduce the flue gas outlet temperature to 738°C after the 1400°C flue gas is heated by the primary heat exchanger 3 of this application. If the secondary heat exchanger 5 outside the dilution room is not needed, it can be directly mixed with dilution cold air for discharge. If the secondary heat exchanger 5 is working, the flue gas can be directly passed into the secondary heat exchanger 5 for secondary utilization of the flue gas waste heat before being discharged.
