Description

Technical Field

[0002] A boiler is an energy conversion device. The energy input to the boiler includes chemical energy and electrical energy in the fuel. The boiler outputs steam, high-temperature water or organic heat carrier with a certain amount of thermal energy. The original meaning of a pot refers to a water container heated on fire, and a furnace refers to a place where fuel is burned. A boiler consists of two parts: a pot and a furnace.

After the fuel is mixed with air, it is ignited in the furnace 6 through the ignition of the burner 2 to generate high-temperature combustion gas (i.e., flue gas). In this process, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted into the thermal energy of the high-temperature flue gas. The furnace 6 is provided with a flue gas outlet 7, and the flue gas outlet 7 is connected to the economizer 3, so that the thermal energy of the flue gas can be fully utilized. In order to further recycle the thermal energy of the flue gas, the economizer 3 is connected to a condensing heat exchanger 21.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the two ends of the heat exchange tube assembly are respectively connected to the upper drum 5 and the lower drum 4, and the upper drum 5 is equipped with a liquid level electrode tube 22 and a liquid level meter 23, so as to know the liquid level state of the upper drum 5 in real time. The heat exchange tube assembly is arranged in the furnace 6, and the heat exchange tube assembly divides the internal space of the furnace 6 into a curved revolving flue 8, and the revolving flue 8 is connected to the flue gas outlet 7. The water outlet end of the economizer 3 is connected to the lower drum 4 to provide hot water for the lower drum 4.

[0027] The present invention directly sets the heat exchange tube assembly inside the furnace 6, and the heat exchange tube assembly divides the internal space of the furnace 6 into a curved rotating flue 8. The high-temperature flame and high-temperature flue gas generated by the burner 2 can directly act on the heat exchange tube assembly, and the water inside the heat exchange tube assembly is heated by radiation heat transfer and convection heat transfer, so that the heat exchange tube assembly quickly generates steam. Compared with the WNS steam boiler with the same evaporation capacity, the steam boiler of the present invention has the advantages of fast water temperature rise, short steam start-up time, small water volume, energy saving and less heat loss.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, specifically, the rotary flue 8 includes a first flue 9, a second flue 10 and a third flue 11 which are connected in sequence, a first corner area is provided between the first flue 9 and the second flue 10, a second corner area is provided between the second flue 10 and the third flue 11, and the third flue 11 is connected to the flue gas outlet 7.

[0029] Among them, the heat exchange tube assembly includes a first heat exchange tube group, a second heat exchange tube group and a third heat exchange tube group, one end of the first heat exchange tube group, the second heat exchange tube group and the third heat exchange tube group are connected to the upper boiler drum 5, the other ends of the first heat exchange tube group, the second heat exchange tube group and the third heat exchange tube group are connected to the lower boiler drum 4, the first flue 9 is arranged between the first heat exchange tube group and the second heat exchange tube group, the second flue 10 is arranged between the second heat exchange tube group and the third heat exchange tube group, and the third flue 11 is arranged between the third heat exchange tube group and the inner wall of the furnace 6.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the first heat exchange tube group includes a plurality of first tube bundles 12 arranged side by side. The first tube bundles 12 are made of metal tubes. The two ends of the first tube bundles 12 are respectively connected to the upper drum 5 and the lower drum 4. A first fin 13 is connected between two adjacent first tube bundles 12. The first fin 13 is used to close the gap between two adjacent first tube bundles 12 to prevent the loss of high-temperature flue gas, and can transfer heat to the first tube bundle 12 by heat conduction. In order to further improve the heat transfer effect, the first tube bundle 12 is provided with a first fin 14, and the first fin 14 extends into the first flue 9.

The second fin 16 and the first fin 13 have the same function of blocking high-temperature flue gas and absorbing the heat of high-temperature flue gas. Among them, no second fin 16 is provided between the second tube bundles 15 located in the first corner area, so that the high-temperature flue gas can smoothly enter the second flue 10 from the first flue 9. In order to further improve the heat transfer effect, second fins 17 are provided on both sides of the second tube bundle 15, and the second fins 17 on both sides of the second tube bundle 15 extend into the first flue 9 and the second flue 10 respectively.

[0032] The third heat exchange tube group includes a plurality of third tube bundles 18 arranged side by side. The third tube bundles 18 are made of metal tubes. The two ends of the third tube bundles 18 are respectively connected to the upper drum 5 and the lower drum 4. A third fin 19 is provided between the two third tube bundles 18 outside the second corner area.

Among them, the third fin 19 is not provided between the third tube bundles 18 located in the second corner area, so that the high-temperature flue gas can smoothly enter the third flue 11 from the second flue 10. In order to further improve the heat transfer effect, third fins 20 are provided on both sides of the third tube bundle 18, and the third fins 20 on both sides of the third tube bundle 18 extend into the second flue 10 and the third flue 11 respectively.

[0033] The working process of the steam boiler includes:

[0034] Fuel combustion: Horizontal water tube gas steam boiler can use natural gas or oil as fuel. After the fuel is mixed with air, it is ignited in the furnace 6 through the ignition of the burner 2 to produce high-temperature combustion gas (i.e. flue gas). In this process, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted into the thermal energy of the high-temperature flue gas.

[0035] Heat transfer methods: (1) Radiative heat transfer: The high-temperature flame directly acts on the first tube bundle 12 and the second tube bundle 15, causing the water temperature of the first tube bundle 12 and the second tube bundle 15 to rise rapidly. (2) Convective heat transfer: The high-temperature flue gas flows in the furnace 6 and transfers heat to the first tube bundle 12, the second tube bundle 15 and the third tube bundle 18 through convection. (3) Heat conduction: The first fin 13, the second fin 16, the third fin 19, the first fin 14, the second fin 17 and the third fin 20 can all transfer heat and transfer the heat to the water in the tube through the metal tube.

[0036] In order to allow the high-temperature flue gas to be discharged from the boiler smoothly, the second fin 16 is not provided between the second tube bundle 15 located in the first corner area, and the third fin 19 is not provided between the third tube bundle 18 located in the second corner area to form a rotary flue 8. After the high-temperature flue gas enters the rotary flue 8, the heat is transferred to the metal pipe in the above three heat transfer methods, so that the water temperature of the metal pipe rises rapidly. The flue gas still has a high temperature after the heat transfer. In order to improve the utilization efficiency of energy, the temperature of the flue gas is reduced by adding an economizer 3 to increase the water temperature entering the lower drum 4. The condensing heat exchanger 21 can be installed as needed. After the condensing heat exchanger 21 is installed, the temperature of the flue gas is further utilized, so that the water temperature at the outlet of the boiler water pump is increased. Through this process, the flue gas temperature can almost reach below 60°C. In order to prevent flue gas leakage and excessive scouring when the boiler is running, refractory concrete 24 will be poured in the boiler system when the boiler is manufactured; in addition, in order to reduce the radiation heat dissipation of the boiler system to the air, multiple layers of thermal insulation material aluminum silicate fiberboard 25 are wrapped on the outside of the boiler body 1.

[0037] Heating and vaporization of water: The boiler water system starts to operate with the ignition of the boiler. The water in the water tank first enters the economizer 3 through the action of the water pump, and then enters the lower drum 4. The lower drum 4 is connected to the metal tube. As the heat is continuously transferred to the metal tube, the water temperature inside the metal tube gradually rises to the boiling point. The water will change from liquid phase to gas phase inside the metal tube. Since the liquid phase and gas phase system of the boiler are usually under high pressure, the boiling point of water will be higher than 100°C under standard atmospheric pressure. When the water is heated to the boiling point, it begins to boil and converts into steam. Steam accumulates in the upper drum 5, and the pressure gradually increases to form steam with a certain pressure. When the boiler is running, the operation of the condensing heat exchanger 21 can increase the temperature of the water in the water tank. The display of the entire boiler water level is observed through the liquid level meter 23. When the water level of the boiler system is displayed incorrectly, if a dangerous water level appears, the liquid level float in the liquid level electrode tube 22 will drop, and the signal will be transmitted to the control system of the boiler, which will emit an audible and visual alarm, and then the boiler will be shut down to ensure the safety of the boiler.

[0038] Transportation and use of steam: The upper drum 5 has a steam outlet, and the steam is transported through a pipeline to the equipment that needs to be heated or driven, and is used to complete various industrial production processes, such as driving steam turbine generators to generate electricity in the power industry, and being used for heating, reaction, cooking and other process in the chemical, textile, papermaking and other industries.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0040] 1. Compared with WNS steam boilers with the same evaporation capacity, it has the advantages of fast water temperature rise, short steam start-up time, small water volume, energy saving and less heat loss.

[0041] 2. The first fin 14, the second fin 17 and the third fin 20 are used to increase the heating area of ​​the entire system, thereby improving the thermal efficiency. The boiler does not have a rotary smoke chamber, but uses the first flue 9, the second flue 10 and the third flue 11 to form a rotary flue 8, and the smoke flows out of the entire boiler system along the rotary flue 8.

[0042] 3. The first fin 14, the second fin 17 and the third fin 20 increase the disturbance of the flue gas and the resistance of the flue gas, and the residence time of the flue gas in the entire boiler system is longer, thereby controlling the combustion temperature and achieving the effect of low-nitrogen combustion.

[0043] 4. The boiler adopts a three-pass design to fully utilize the heat of high-temperature flue gas.
