[0032] The air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is provided with an air inlet, an air outlet, a water inlet and a water outlet.

[0033] The water inlet of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is connected to the flow control valve A7 through a water pipe, and the air humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 12 is connected to the water inlet of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3, so that the flow control valve A7 is connected to the air humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 12 through a water pipe. The water inlet of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 is connected to the flow control valve B8 through a water pipe, and the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 13 is connected to the water inlet of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1, so that the flow control valve B8 is connected to the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 13 through a water pipe. The flue gas inlet of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 is connected to the flue gas outlet of the boiler, and the flue gas outlet of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 is connected to the flue gas inlet of the flue gas heat exchanger 2 through a flue. A flue gas temperature and humidity meter 11 is set on the flue to detect the temperature and humidity values ​​of the flue gas in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 in real time, and finally the flue gas is discharged through the flue gas outlet of the flue gas heat exchanger 2.

[0034] The upper air outlet of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is connected to the boiler air inlet, and the left air inlet of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is connected to the environment. Air flows in from the air inlet and is discharged from the air outlet. An air thermometer and hygrometer 10 is provided on the air channel of the air outlet to detect the temperature and humidity values ​​of the air in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 in real time.

[0035] The air humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 12 is arranged on the upper side of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3, and the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 13 is arranged on the upper side of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1. One end of the four-way valve A15 is connected to the booster water pump 4 through a water pipe, and the booster water pump 4 is connected to one end of the water neutralization device 5 through a water pipe, and the other end of the water neutralization device 5 is connected to the water outlet of the flue gas heat exchanger 2 through a water pipe. The pH detector 6 is installed on the water pipe connecting the water neutralization device 5 and the flue gas heat exchanger 2 to detect the pH value of the condensed water in real time. The condensed water is neutralized by acid and alkali through the neutralization device 5, so as to achieve efficient and environmentally friendly treatment of the condensed water, and prevent pollutants from entering the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 and the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 to cause corrosion to them.

[0036] The other three ends of the four-way valve A15 are connected to one end of the flow control valve A7, the flow control valve B8 and the flow control valve C9 respectively through water pipes, and the other ends of the flow control valve A7, the flow control valve B8 and the flow control valve C9 are connected to the air humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 12 in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3, the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 13 in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 and one end of the four-way valve B16 respectively through water pipes, and the other three ends of the four-way valve B16 are connected to the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1, the water tank 14 and the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 respectively through water pipes.

[0037] During operation, the low-temperature medium is introduced from the low-temperature medium inlet of the flue gas heat exchanger 2, and is discharged from the low-temperature medium outlet of the flue gas heat exchanger 2 after passing through the flue gas heat exchanger 2. The flue gas exchanges heat with the low-temperature medium, and the flue gas is reduced to a dew point temperature or below to form condensed water. The formed condensed water flows from the water outlet of the flue gas heat exchanger 2 into the water pipe and enters the water neutralization device 5. Before the condensed water enters the water neutralization device 5, the pH detector 6 detects the pH value of the condensed water in real time. After the condensed water is neutralized by acid and alkali in the water neutralization device 5, it enters the booster water pump 4. The booster water pump 4 The water is pressurized, and then the condensed water flows into the flow control valve A7, the flow control valve B8 and the flow control valve C9 respectively through the four-way valve A15. The flow control valve A7 and the flow control valve B8 control the flow of the condensed water and then flow into the air humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 12 in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 and the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 13 in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 through the water pipe respectively. A certain number of the air humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 12 and the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 13 are opened as needed to atomize the condensed water.

[0038] The air flows in from the air inlet of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 through the air duct, and exchanges heat with the condensed water flowing out of the air humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 12 in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3, and is humidified at the same time, and then the air flows out from the air outlet of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 to the boiler. The boiler flue gas flows in from the flue gas inlet of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1, and exchanges heat with the condensed water flowing out of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizer 13 in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1, and is humidified at the same time, and then the flue gas flows out from the flue gas outlet of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1, flows into the flue gas inlet on the high temperature side of the flue gas heat exchanger 2 through the flue, and after exchanging heat with the low temperature medium in the flue gas heat exchanger 2, it is discharged from the flue gas outlet on the high temperature side of the flue gas heat exchanger 2.

[0039] The present invention uses flue gas condensate to humidify flue gas and air for heat exchange, adjusts the temperature and humidity of flue gas and air, and the flue gas temperature and humidity meter 11 and the air temperature and humidity meter 10 detect the temperature and humidity values ​​of the corresponding flue gas and air in real time, and then adjusts the pH value of the condensate to the target value, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the flue gas condensate from corroding the flue gas heat exchanger 2, forming a virtuous circle.

[0040] The excess condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 and the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 flows into the four-way valve B16 through the water outlets of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 and the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1, and then flows into the water tank 14 through the water inlet of the water tank 14. The excess condensed water pressurized by the booster water pump 4 flows into the flow control valve C9 for flow control, and then also flows into the water tank 14 through the four-way valve B16.

[0041] Among them, the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 and the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 are direct heat exchangers, and the flue gas heat exchanger 2 is an indirect heat exchanger, which improves the working efficiency.

[0042] It should be noted that direct heat exchanger and indirect heat exchanger are general technical terms.

[0043] Direct heat exchangers refer to heat exchangers in which the heating medium and the heated medium do not exchange heat through the heating surface, but through direct contact. This type of heat exchanger avoids the heat resistance of dirt on the heat transfer partition and its two sides. As long as the contact between the fluids is good, there is a higher heat transfer rate. Compared with indirect heat exchangers that exchange heat through the heating surface, it generally has the characteristics of saving manufacturing equipment materials and high heat exchange efficiency.

[0044] Indirect heat exchange refers to a form of heat exchange in which the heat exchange media do not directly contact each other. Compared with direct heat exchange, this heat exchange method does not require mixing before heat exchange and separation after heat exchange, which saves production costs in terms of time and process and improves production efficiency.

[0045] The low-temperature medium that exchanges heat with the flue gas in the flue gas heat exchanger 2 can be heat network return water, heat pump working fluid or other media that can achieve equivalent effects, which is beneficial to system circulation and environmental protection.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, Q a Indicates the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3; Q a Max represents the maximum amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3; Q g Indicates the amount of condensed water in the flue gas humidification heat exchanger 1; Q g Max indicates the maximum amount of condensed water in flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1.

[0047] The method for using the flue gas waste heat recovery device of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0048] (1) Connect the flue gas inlet of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 to the flue gas outlet of the boiler, connect the air outlet of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 to the air inlet of the boiler, start the boiler and keep it running, and let the low-temperature medium flow through the flue gas heat exchanger 2, then start the booster pump 4, flow control valve A7, flow control valve B8 and flow control valve C9;

[0049] (2) Determine whether the boiler is running. If the boiler is running, proceed to step (3); if the boiler is stopped, stop the low-temperature medium from flowing through the flue gas heat exchanger 2 and close the booster pump 4, flow control valve A7, flow control valve B8 and flow control valve C9;

[0050] (3) detecting the value of the pH detector 6 to determine whether the pH value is greater than or equal to the target value;

[0051] (4) If the pH value in step (3) is greater than or equal to the target value, then detecting whether the air humidity value reaches 100%;

[0052] (5) If the pH value in step (3) is less than the target value, the amount of condensed water and the air humidity value of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 are detected to determine whether the amount of condensed water of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 has reached a maximum value or whether the air humidity value is greater than or equal to 99%;

[0053] (6) If the air humidity value in step (4) reaches 100%, the amount of condensed water entering the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is reduced through the flow control valve A7, and the process returns to step (2); if the air humidity value in step (4) does not reach 100%, the amount of condensed water entering the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 is reduced through the flow control valve B8, and the process returns to step (2);

[0054] (7) If the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 in step (5) reaches the maximum value or the air humidity value is greater than or equal to 99%, continue to detect whether the air humidity value is equal to 100%; if the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 in step (5) does not reach the maximum value and the air humidity value is less than 99%, increase the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 and return to step (2);

[0055] (8) If the air humidity value in step (5) is equal to 100%, the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is reduced, and the process returns to step (5); if the air humidity value in step (7) is less than 100%, the amount of condensed water in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 is detected to see whether it has reached a maximum value;

[0056] (9) If the amount of condensed water in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 reaches the maximum value in step (8), return to step (2); if the amount of condensed water in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 does not reach the maximum value in step (8), increase the amount of condensed water in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 and return to step (2).

[0057] After the boiler is turned on, the flue gas waste heat recovery device is operated, and the low-temperature medium flows into the low-temperature side of the flue gas heat exchanger 2, and forms condensed water after heat exchange with the flue gas.

[0058] Check the boiler status. If the boiler is running, check the pH value of the pH detector 6. If the boiler is not running, stop the flue gas waste heat recovery device.

[0059] If the pH value is greater than or equal to the target value, the value of the air temperature and humidity meter 10 is detected. If the air humidity value reaches 100%, the amount of condensed water flowing into the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is reduced through the flow control valve A7, and a certain number of air humidifying heat exchanger atomizers 12 are closed to avoid oversaturation, and the boiler operation status is checked to determine whether the flue gas waste heat recovery device is continuously operated, that is, if the boiler is operating, the flue gas waste heat recovery device is continuously operated, and if the boiler stops operating, the flue gas waste heat recovery device is also stopped; if the air humidity value is less than 100%, the amount of condensed water flowing into the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 is reduced through the flow control valve A8, and a certain number of flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizers 13 are closed to reduce pollutant emissions, and the boiler operation status is checked to determine whether the flue gas waste heat recovery device is continuously operated, that is, if the boiler is operating, the flue gas waste heat recovery device is continuously operated, and if the boiler stops operating, the flue gas waste heat recovery device is also stopped.

[0060] If the pH value detected by the pH detector 6 is less than the target value, the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 and the humidity value of the air thermometer and hygrometer 10 are detected. If the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 reaches the maximum value or the air humidity value detected by the air thermometer and hygrometer 10 is greater than or equal to 99%, continue to observe whether the humidity value of the air thermometer and hygrometer 10 reaches 100%; if the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 does not reach the maximum value and the humidity value of the air thermometer and hygrometer 10 is less than 99%, the amount of condensed water flowing into the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is increased through the flow control valve A7, and a certain number of air humidifying heat exchanger atomizers 12 are opened, the boiler operating status is checked, and it is determined whether the flue gas waste heat recovery device is continuously operated, that is, if the boiler is running, the flue gas waste heat recovery device is continuously operated, and if the boiler stops running, the flue gas waste heat recovery device is also stopped.

[0061] If the humidity value of the air thermometer and hygrometer 10 is 100%, the amount of condensed water flowing into the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 is reduced through the flow control valve A7, and a certain number of air humidifying heat exchanger atomizers 12 are closed, and then the amount of condensed water and the air humidity value of the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 are detected to determine whether the amount of condensed water in the air humidifying heat exchanger 3 has reached the maximum value or whether the air humidity value is greater than or equal to 99%, until the humidity value of the air thermometer and hygrometer 10 is less than 100%. At this time, check whether the amount of condensed water in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 has reached the maximum value; if the humidity value of the air thermometer and hygrometer 10 is less than 100%, directly check whether the amount of condensed water in the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 has reached the maximum value.

[0062] If the amount of condensed water of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 reaches the maximum value, check the operating status of the boiler to determine whether the flue gas waste heat recovery device is continuously operated, that is, if the boiler is operating, continue to operate the flue gas waste heat recovery device, and if the boiler stops operating, then the flue gas waste heat recovery device is also stopped; if the amount of condensed water of the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 does not reach the maximum value, increase the amount of condensed water flowing to the flue gas humidifying heat exchanger 1 through the flow control valve B8, and open a certain number of flue gas humidifying heat exchanger atomizers 13, check the operating status of the boiler to determine whether the flue gas waste heat recovery device is continuously operated, that is, if the boiler is operating, continue to operate the flue gas waste heat recovery device, and if the boiler stops operating, then the flue gas waste heat recovery device is also stopped.

[0063] It can be seen that the present invention can increase the pH value of the condensed water to the target value, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the flue gas condensed water from corroding the flue gas heat exchanger 2, forming a virtuous cycle.

[0064] It should be noted that when the amount of condensed water in the flue gas humidification heat exchanger 1 and the air humidification heat exchanger 3 reaches the maximum value, the adjustment capacity of the device reaches its limit. At this time, it is still possible that the pH value does not reach the target value, but at this time the pH value is already greater than the initial value, that is, the pH value is increased. The purpose of the present invention of reducing corrosion to the flue gas heat exchanger 2 by increasing the pH value, extending the service life and reducing pollutant emissions can still be achieved.

[0065] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific examples for implementing the present disclosure, and in actual applications, various changes may be made thereto in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
