DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the boiler high-temperature nitrogen oxide concentration online detection device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a sampling tube 3, a cooler 4, a flue gas treatment unit 5 and a nitrogen oxide detection unit 6. The sampling tube 3 is used to be arranged on the tail flue 2 of the boiler 1 and communicated with the tail flue 2 to sample the high-temperature flue gas in the tail flue 2. The cooler 4 has a hot medium inlet 401, a hot medium outlet 402, a cold medium inlet 403 and a cold medium outlet 404. The hot medium inlet 401 is connected to the sampling tube 3 to cool the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the sampling tube 3. The flue gas treatment unit 5 is connected to the hot medium outlet 402, and the flue gas treatment unit 5 is used to treat the flue gas discharged from the hot medium outlet 402 after cooling to remove dust and water vapor in the flue gas. The nitrogen oxide detection unit 6 is connected to the flue gas treatment unit 5 and is used to detect the nitrogen oxide content in the flue gas.

[0021] When the online detection device 100 for high-temperature nitrogen oxide concentration of a boiler according to an embodiment of the present invention is in use, the sampling tube 3 is arranged on the tail flue 2 of the boiler 1 and is connected to the tail flue 2, so as to obtain a flue gas sample representing the gas composition in the flue from the tail flue 2. The high-temperature flue gas discharged from the sampling tube 3 enters the cooler 4 through the heat medium inlet 401 of the cooler 4. The cooler 4 contains a heat medium circulation system, and the high-temperature flue gas exchanges heat with the heat medium, so that the temperature of the flue gas is reduced. The cooled flue gas is discharged from the heat medium outlet 402 and enters the flue gas treatment unit 5. The main function of the flue gas treatment unit 5 is to remove dust and dehumidify the flue gas, ensuring that the flue gas entering the nitrogen oxide detection unit 6 is clean and dry, and will not interfere with the detection unit. The treated flue gas is sent to the nitrogen oxide detection unit 6, which uses a specific sensor or analytical instrument to accurately detect the nitrogen oxide content in the flue gas.

[0022] The boiler high-temperature nitrogen oxide concentration online detection device 100 of the present invention can adapt to the harsh environment of high temperature, high water vapor and high dust in the tail flue 2 of the boiler 1, and ensure long-term stable operation in the industrial site. Through the cooling and flue gas treatment unit 5, the dust and water vapor in the flue gas are effectively removed, avoiding the influence of these impurities on the nitrogen oxide detection, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection. It can detect the nitrogen oxide concentration emitted by the boiler 1 in real time, grasp the emission status in time, and provide data support for environmental monitoring and management.

[0023] In some embodiments, the sampling pipe 3 includes a main pipe 301 and a plurality of branch pipes 302. The plurality of branch pipes 302 are arranged on the tail flue 2 at intervals along the height direction of the tail flue 2, the branch pipes are connected to the inlet of the main pipe 301, and the outlet of the main pipe 301 is connected to the heat medium inlet 401. The main pipe 301 is the main channel for the flue gas flow, and the branch pipes are sampling points distributed at different heights of the tail flue 2. The design of the branch pipes usually takes into account the flow characteristics of the flue gas in the flue to ensure the uniformity and representativeness of the sampling.

[0024] In some embodiments, a first control valve 7 is disposed on the main pipe 301 , and the first control valve 7 is used to control the on-off of the main pipe 301 .

[0025] When the first control valve 7 is in the open state, the flue gas in the tail flue 2 can enter the main pipe 301 through the branch pipe, and flow to the cooler 4 for heat exchange and cooling. When the first control valve 7 is closed, the flow of flue gas in the main pipe 301 is blocked, and the flue gas will not enter the cooler 4. The first control valve 7 can quickly cut off the flow of flue gas when an abnormal situation occurs in the system, protecting the cooler 4 and the detection unit from damage by high-temperature flue gas. When the system needs to be maintained or cleaned, the flow of flue gas can be stopped by closing the first control valve 7, which is convenient for the staff to operate. When the detection unit or cooler 4 fails, closing the first control valve 7 can isolate the faulty part, which is convenient for troubleshooting and repair.

[0026] In some embodiments, the cold medium of the cooler 4 is air.

[0027] The high-temperature flue gas enters through the hot medium inlet 401 of the cooler 4 and exchanges heat with the air inside the cooler 4. After the air absorbs the heat of the flue gas, the temperature rises and then it is discharged through the cold medium outlet 404. The flow of air is usually provided by a fan, which can be natural convection or forced convection. In the case of forced convection, the fan blows cold air through the cooler 4 to accelerate the heat exchange process. Air is a free and unlimited resource. Using air as a cooling medium can save resources such as water and electricity and reduce operating costs. The air cooler 4 does not require a water cooling system, so no sewage is generated, which helps to reduce the impact on the environment.

[0028] In some embodiments, the flue gas treatment unit 5 includes a dust collector 501, which is connected to the heat medium outlet 402 and the flue gas treatment unit 5 respectively, and the dust collector 501 is used to remove dust in the flue gas.

[0029] The dust collector 501 removes dust from the flue gas, which can prevent dust particles from interfering with the detection unit and improve the accuracy of nitrogen oxide concentration detection. The purified flue gas enters the detection unit, which helps to extend the service life of the detection equipment and reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement. The dust collector 501 can work in conjunction with other components in the flue gas treatment unit 5 (such as a dehumidifier) ​​to jointly optimize the treatment effect of the flue gas.

[0030] In some embodiments, a dust detection sensor 8 is provided at the outlet of the dust collector 501, and the dust detection sensor 8 is used to detect the concentration of dust particles in the flue gas.

[0031] The dust detection sensor 8 is located at the outlet of the dust collector 501, so that the dust particle concentration in the flue gas can be detected immediately after the dust removal process. By real-time monitoring of the dust concentration, the working state of the dust collector 501 can be timely understood to ensure that the discharged flue gas meets the environmental protection standards. The data provided by the dust detection sensor 8 enables the system to realize automatic control, automatically adjust the operating parameters according to the change of dust concentration, and improve the intelligence and efficiency of the system operation.

[0032] In some embodiments, the flue gas treatment unit 5 includes a dryer 502, which is connected to the dust collector 501 and the nitrogen oxide detection unit 6 respectively, and the dryer 502 is used to remove water vapor in the flue gas.

[0033] When the flue gas passes through the dryer 502, the water vapor therein is absorbed by the desiccant or removed by cooling and condensation, thereby reducing the humidity of the flue gas. The dryer 502 is filled with desiccant, such as silica gel, molecular sieve, etc., which have high-efficiency hygroscopic properties. By removing the water vapor in the flue gas, the interference of water vapor on the nitrogen oxide detection unit 6 can be avoided, and the accuracy and reliability of the detection can be improved. Dry flue gas helps to extend the service life of the nitrogen oxide detection unit 6 and reduce equipment corrosion or other damage caused by humidity. The dryer 502 works together with the dust collector 501 and the nitrogen oxide detection unit 6 to form a complete flue gas treatment and detection process to ensure that pollutants in the flue gas are effectively monitored and controlled.

[0034] In some embodiments, a humidity detection sensor 9 is provided at the outlet of the dryer 502, and the humidity detection sensor 9 is used to detect the humidity in the flue gas.

[0035] The humidity detection sensor 9 is located at the outlet of the dryer 502 and is used to monitor the humidity of the smoke after drying. By real-time monitoring of the smoke humidity, the working state of the dryer 502 can be adjusted in time to ensure that the smoke drying effect meets the detection requirements. The integration of the humidity detection sensor 9 and the control system can realize automatic control, automatically optimize the drying process according to the humidity data, and improve the intelligence and operation efficiency of the system.

[0036] In some embodiments, the boiler high-temperature nitrogen oxide concentration online detection device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes an adsorber 10, and the adsorber 10 is connected to the dryer 502 to adsorb nitrogen oxides in the flue gas.

[0037] The function of the adsorber 10 is to further purify the flue gas by adsorbing nitrogen oxides in the flue gas through a specific adsorbent (such as activated carbon, molecular sieve, etc.), thereby reducing the emission concentration of nitrogen oxides. The adsorber 10 is connected to the dryer 502, so that the low-humidity flue gas that has been dried can directly enter the adsorber 10 to improve the adsorption efficiency. The adsorber 10 can reduce the emission concentration of nitrogen oxides, help meet strict environmental emission standards, and reduce pollution to the atmospheric environment.

[0038] In some embodiments, the boiler high-temperature nitrogen oxide concentration online detection device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a chimney 11 , which is connected to the adsorber 10 to discharge the adsorbed clean flue gas through the chimney 11 .

[0039] The chimney 11 is connected to the adsorber 10. After being purified by the adsorber 10, the flue gas is discharged into the atmosphere through the chimney 11 to ensure that the flue gas can be discharged safely and effectively.
