TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of waste heat recovery, and particularly relates to a ring cooler waste heat recovery device and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ring cooler is a ring cooler, and its function is to effectively cool the hot sinter discharged from the sintering machine. Compared with the belt cooler, the ring cooler has the advantages of small occupied area, low investment, high equipment utilization rate, etc.

[0003] The existing ring cooler produces excess waste heat after working, and therefore generally recovers the waste heat through a waste heat recovery device. The traditional heat recovery mode is to transport the waste heat in the ring cooler flue gas to a water tank, and then guide the heat out through the water in the water tank for utilization. The inner diameter of the air inlet is larger than that of the air outlet, which can effectively ensure that the flue gas stays in the water tank for a certain time, and ensure that the waste heat utilization rate is high. However, as the water temperature in the water tank increases, the heat absorption of the flue gas is limited, and the finally discharged flue gas still has a lot of heat, which causes waste of heat. In view of this, the application provides a ring cooler waste heat recovery device and a use method thereof.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content belongs to the technical cognition range of the inventor, and does not necessarily constitute the prior art. SUMMARY
