Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gypsum board production technology, specifically to a waste heat utilization system and method for a gypsum board dryer. Background Technology

[0002] After gypsum board is produced and formed, it needs to be sent into a gypsum board dryer for drying. During the drying process, waste heat gas is generated. If the waste heat gas is directly discharged, a lot of heat energy will be wasted. Therefore, the heat energy of the waste heat gas is often recovered and utilized in the production process.

[0003] Existing waste heat utilization methods typically involve adding heating pipes inside the feed hopper, and then sending waste heat gas through pipes and an induced draft fan into the heating pipes to heat the feed space, thereby pre-drying the gypsum powder. While existing methods of directly heating steel pipes with waste heat gas to dry gypsum powder can achieve preheating, the waste heat gas contains a large amount of steam and dust. During pipeline transport, water vapor condensation may occur, potentially leading to significant condensation over prolonged transport. Failure to drain this condensate promptly will affect heat transfer efficiency, resulting in heat loss. Furthermore, particulate matter in the waste heat gas may adhere to the inner wall of the heating pipes, further reducing heat release efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, the existing method of using waste heat and exhaust gas to directly heat steel pipes to dry gypsum powder has problems such as low waste heat utilization efficiency and incomplete waste heat utilization because condensate is difficult to drain in time and particulate matter easily adheres to the inner wall of the heating pipe.

[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a waste heat utilization system for a gypsum board dryer, comprising:

[0050] Heat exchange device 1 is installed in the gypsum board drying section of the gypsum board production line. Heat exchange device 1 is connected to the exhaust port of the drying equipment to absorb the heat of the high-temperature steam discharged from the exhaust port through the refrigerant inside it.

[0051] The screw feeder 2 is installed in the gypsum powder feeding section of the gypsum board production line. The screw feeder 2 includes a cylinder 21. A screw cavity 22 is provided in the inner wall of the cylinder 21. The screw cavity 22 extends along the axis of the cylinder 21 and forms an interface 221 at the inlet and outlet of the cylinder 21.

[0052] Waste heat pipeline 3 is installed between the gypsum board drying section and the gypsum powder feeding section of the gypsum board production line. Waste heat pipeline 3 is connected to two interfaces 221 and heat exchange device 1 to form a closed circulation channel.

[0053] Among them, the waste heat pipeline 3 has a heat pump 31, which drives the refrigerant to circulate in the circulation channel to transfer the heat from the exhaust port to the screw feeder 2 to preheat the gypsum powder.

[0054] In this embodiment, the waste heat pipeline 3 is connected to the heat exchange device 1 and the screw feeder 2 to form a closed circulation path. After the waste heat gas enters the heat exchange device 1, the heat of the waste heat gas is absorbed by the refrigerant in the heat exchange device 1. The heat-absorbing refrigerant is pumped to the screw cavity 22 along the waste heat pipeline 3 by the heat pump 31. The refrigerant releases heat in the screw cavity 22 to dry the gypsum powder in the cylinder 21. The heat-released refrigerant flows back from the screw cavity 22 to the waste heat pipeline 3, and is pumped back to the heat exchange device 1 by the heat pump 31 to absorb heat, thereby performing circulating heat exchange.

[0055] In this embodiment, the heat exchange device 1 and the screw feeder 2 are connected by the waste heat pipeline 3 to form a closed circulation path. The heat of the waste gas in the heat exchange device 1 is absorbed by the refrigerant, and then the heat-absorbing refrigerant is pumped into the screw cavity 22 by the heat pump 31. The refrigerant releases heat in the screw cavity 22 to raise the temperature inside the cylinder 21, so as to dry the damp gypsum powder. The heat-releasing refrigerant is pumped back into the heat exchange device 1 by the heat pump 31 to absorb heat for continuous drying, thus realizing the recovery and utilization of waste heat and avoiding the impact of steam and particles in the waste gas on the waste heat transportation.

[0056] The working principle of the heat pump 31, the waste heat pipeline 3 and the refrigerant is the same as that of the conventional heat pump 31. The heat pump 31 can compress the refrigerant in the low temperature and low pressure superheated steam state after absorbing heat into the high temperature and high pressure steam state, and deliver the refrigerant to the spiral cavity 22 to release heat and condense. Then, the liquid refrigerant expands into a gas-liquid mixture state and is delivered to the heat exchange device 1 to absorb heat and become a low temperature and low pressure superheated steam state.

[0057] In order to enable the waste heat gas to condense and release heat in the heat exchange device 1, the following preferred embodiments are proposed.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchange device 1 includes a condensation chamber 11. One end of the condensation chamber 11 is provided with an air inlet 111, which is connected to the exhaust port of the drying equipment. An exhaust pipe 112 is provided on the side of the condensation chamber 11 away from the air inlet 111, and a drain pipe 113 is provided at the lower end of the side of the condensation chamber 11 near the exhaust pipe 112.

[0059] A condenser pipe 12 is inclinedly arranged inside the condenser chamber 11. The inclined lower end and inclined upper end of the condenser pipe 12 are connected to the outside of the condenser chamber 11 to form a heat exchange interface 121. The heat absorption end of the waste heat pipeline 3 is connected to the two heat exchange interfaces 121.

[0060] The heat pump 31 can send refrigerant into the condenser coil 12 from the heat exchange interface 121 near the upper inclined end of the condenser coil 12 for heat absorption, and after the refrigerant has absorbed heat, send the refrigerant into the waste heat pipeline 3 from the heat exchange interface 121 near the lower inclined end of the condenser coil 12.

[0061] Specifically, the waste heat exhaust gas enters the condensation chamber 11 through the air inlet 111 from the exhaust port of the drying equipment. The waste heat exhaust gas releases heat when passing through the condensation pipe 12, and the refrigerant in the condensation pipe 12 absorbs heat. The steam in the waste heat exhaust gas condenses and drips downwards, or flows down along the inclined condensation pipe 12, and finally flows out from the drain pipe 113 at the bottom of the condensation chamber 11. The condensed gas then enters the exhaust pipe 112.

[0062] To facilitate the collection of waste heat and exhaust gas generated by the drying equipment, the following preferred embodiments are proposed.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, a blower 114 is installed inside the air inlet 111, and an exhaust fan 115 is installed at the outer end of the exhaust pipe 112. The exhaust fan 115 draws the waste heat gas into the condensation chamber 11 with negative pressure and guides the condensed waste gas to be discharged through the exhaust pipe 112.

[0064] Specifically, the blower 114 can collect waste heat and exhaust gas under negative pressure, and the exhaust fan 115 can guide the condensed gas out of the condensation chamber 11.

[0065] Typically, after the waste heat exhaust gas is condensed, the heat of the condensate and the gas is usually between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius. In order to further recover the waste heat, the following preferred embodiments are proposed.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchange device 1 is also equipped with a secondary heat pump 13. One end of the secondary heat pump 13 is connected to two sets of heat absorption pipes 131, and the other end of the secondary heat pump 13 is equipped with heat release pipes 132.

[0067] Two heat absorption pipes 131 are respectively installed in the exhaust pipe 112 and the liquid drain pipe 113;

[0068] The heat absorption pipe 131 and the heat release pipe 132 also contain refrigerant. The secondary heat pump 13 can drive the refrigerant to circulate between the heat absorption pipe 131 and the heat release pipe 132 to recover the waste heat from the condensed exhaust gas and condensate.

[0069] Specifically, the two sets of heat absorption tubes 131 can perform secondary heat absorption on the condensed gas and condensate.

[0070] To ensure thorough drying of the gypsum powder, the following preferred embodiments are proposed.

[0071] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a shaftless spiral blade 23 is rotatably arranged inside the cylinder 21 along the axis of the cylinder 21, and an air jet rod 24 is inserted into the axis of the shaftless spiral blade 23.

[0072] The jet rod 24 has several protruding nozzles 241. The nozzles 241 are oriented toward the feeding direction of the shaftless spiral blade 23. The interior of the nozzles 241 is connected to form an air delivery channel 242.

[0073] The shaftless spiral blade 23 is equipped with several tilting plates 231. When the shaftless spiral blade 23 feeds material, the tilting plates 231 can lift the gypsum powder, and at the same time the air jet rod 24 can send air into the cylinder 21 through the nozzle 241 to fully dry the gypsum powder.

[0074] Specifically, while the shaftless spiral blade 23 is conveying gypsum powder, the tipping plate 231 can simultaneously lift the gypsum powder and then send air in the conveying direction of the gypsum powder through the air jet rod 24, so that the gypsum powder can be fully dried.

[0075] Sending hot air to gypsum powder can improve the drying effect of gypsum powder. Therefore, the following preferred embodiments are proposed.

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, a hot air pipe 25 is connected to one end of the jet rod 24 near the feed inlet, and a hot air duct 251 is provided at the end of the hot air pipe 25 away from the jet rod 24.

[0077] The heat release pipe 132 is coiled inside the hot air duct 251. A hot air blower 252 is installed through the end of the hot air duct 251 away from the hot air pipe 25. The hot air blower 252 can blow air onto the heat release pipe 132 for heating and blow the heated air into the jet rod 24 through the hot air pipe 25.

[0078] Specifically, the waste heat absorbed by the heat absorption pipe 131 heats the heat release pipe 132, and then the hot air blown by the hot air blower 251 heats the heat release pipe 132 and is delivered to the jet bar 24 through the hot air pipe to dry the gypsum powder.

[0079] To achieve spiral feeding of the shaftless spiral blade 23, the following preferred embodiments are proposed.

[0080] like Figure 3As shown, a drive unit 26 is provided through the end of the cylinder 21 near the feed inlet, and a shaftless spiral blade 23 is fixedly installed at one end of the drive unit 26 located inside the cylinder 21.

[0081] Among them, the drive component 26 is connected to a drive source on one side outside the cylinder 21. The drive source can drive the shaftless spiral blade 23 to perform spiral feeding through the drive component 26.

[0082] The drive component 26 is hollow, and the jet rod 24 is inserted into the shaft of the shaftless spiral blade 23 through the central hole of the drive component 26. The drive component 26 and the jet rod 24 are rotatably connected.

[0083] Support rods 27 are provided at the lower end of the cylinder 21 near the discharge port and at the lower outer end of the cylinder 21 near the inlet port. The two ends of the jet rod 24 are fixed to the two support rods 27.

[0084] Specifically, the jet rod 24 passes through the drive member 26 and is fixed to the two support rods 27. The drive source can drive the shaftless spiral blade 23 to perform spiral feeding through the drive member 26.

[0085] Damp gypsum powder may clump together. To ensure that the gypsum powder is fully dried, the following preferred embodiments are proposed.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, a crushing gear 28 is provided at the lower end of the feed inlet of the screw feeder 2, and a crushing motor is provided on the outside of the feed inlet. The crushing motor can drive the crushing gear 28 to crush the wet and lumpy gypsum powder.

[0087] The screw feeder 2 has an air outlet 29 at the upper end of the side near the discharge port. A fan is installed inside the air outlet 29. The fan can blow air out of the cylinder 21 to guide the dried humid gas inside the cylinder 21 to be discharged.

[0088] The lower end of the air outlet 29 is equipped with a dustproof mesh.

[0089] Specifically, the crushing gear 28 can break up clumps of gypsum powder to increase the surface area of ​​the gypsum powder exposed to heat.

[0090] The fan can guide the dried, humid gas inside the cylinder 21 to be discharged.

[0091] Based on the above, the following method for utilizing the waste heat of a gypsum board dryer is provided, including the following steps:

[0092] Step 100: The waste heat gas generated by the gypsum board drying equipment enters the heat exchange device from the exhaust port to release heat and condense. The refrigerant absorbs heat in the heat exchange device and is sent into the waste heat pipeline through the heat pump.

[0093] Step 200: The heat pump pumps the refrigerant along the waste heat pipeline into the spiral cavity to heat the inner wall of the cylinder. Moist gypsum powder is put in from the feed port and dried inside the cylinder.

[0094] Step 300: The gypsum powder is conveyed to the calcining furnace by a screw feeder. After the refrigerant releases heat, it enters the waste heat pipeline through the interface near the discharge port. The heat pump then pumps the refrigerant back to the heat exchange device along the waste heat pipeline to absorb heat.

[0095] In this embodiment, the waste heat is mainly collected by the negative pressure of the blower 114 to the condensation chamber 11. At this time, the refrigerant in the condensation pipe 12 absorbs heat, causing the waste heat to condense and produce gas and condensate. The gas enters the exhaust pipe 112 through the exhaust fan 115, and the condensate flows downward into the drain pipe 113. At the same time, the waste heat in the gas and condensate is absorbed through the two heat absorption pipes 131.

[0096] Then, the heat pump 31 pumps the heat-absorbing condensate into the spiral cavity 22 to heat the cylinder 21. At the same time, the heat release pipe 132 releases heat in the hot air duct 25. The hot air is generated by the hot air blower 252 and delivered to the jet bar 24. At this time, the gypsum powder is fed in from the feed port, crushed by the crushing gear 28, and then conveyed by the shaftless spiral blade 23. During the conveying process, it is dried by the hot air sprayed from the high-temperature cylinder 21 and the jet bar 24.

[0097] Then, the dried gypsum powder is conveyed to the calcining furnace by the shaftless spiral blade 23. The humid gas in the cylinder 21 is discharged by the fan 291. The heat pump 31 pumps the condenser back into the condenser pipe 12 to absorb heat, so as to continuously circulate and dry the gypsum powder.

[0098] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
