Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a flue gas side flow regulating device for an air preheater, belonging to the technical field of flow regulating devices for air preheaters. Background Art
[0002] The boiler air preheater of the generator set is designed and manufactured according to the full load of the boiler, that is, it is designed according to the maximum flue gas and air flow that the air preheater can pass. Now, according to the needs of the electricity market, the power generation of thermal power plants needs to be controlled, which is now called "peak shaving". In detail, peak shaving means that a 1000MW unit cannot always run at 1000MW. It can be 1000MW or 300MW. Now the peak shaving is required to reach 20%, that is, the minimum power generation is 200MW. Peak shaving has an impact on the boiler air preheater. The most obvious is the ash blockage of the air preheater. Of course, there are other reasons for the ash blockage, but the main reason is caused by peak shaving.
[0003] When the boiler load is reduced, that is, the total amount of flue gas generated by boiler combustion and the amount of air required for boiler combustion are reduced, but the air preheater flow area is fixed, so the flow rate of flue gas through the air preheater is reduced. The air preheater is designed according to the maximum flue gas and air flow that the air preheater can pass. The average flue gas flow rate is 12m / s, and the air flow rate is 18m / s~20m / s. When the flue gas volume decreases by 40%, the flue gas flow rate drops from 12m / s to 4.8m / s, and the air flow rate is also decreasing. There is ash in the flue gas. When the flue gas flow rate decreases, the ash is easily deposited on the heat exchange elements in the air preheater. It is a consensus that ash is not easy to accumulate when the flow rate is fast.
[0004] How to solve the problem that the boiler air preheater is prone to dust accumulation due to peak load regulation is a problem that technicians in this field need to solve. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and further provide a flow regulating device on the flue gas side of an air preheater.

The two driving sprockets 3 and the two The passive sprockets 4 are connected by two chains 5 respectively. A fixed windshield 7 is fixed between the two bulkhead plates 19 close to the inner side of the air preheater shell plate 6. A plurality of movable windshields 8 are sequentially distributed between the two bulkhead plates 19. Stepped windshield rails 9 are fixed on the two bulkhead plates 19. A stopper 24 is fixed at the front end of each windshield rail 9. The two chains 5 are fixedly connected to the frontmost movable windshield 8 by bolts 15. Except for the frontmost movable windshield 8, the front ends of the other movable windshields 8 are fixed with push-pull plates 16. Except for the rearmost movable windshield 8, the other movable windshields 8 are fixed with push-pull plates 16. An extended push plate 17 is fixed to the rear end of the movable wind shield 8, a retracted pull plate 18 is fixed to the front end of the front movable wind shield 8, four wheels 20 are installed at the lower part of each movable wind shield 8, and except for the rearmost movable wind shield 8, two upper tracks 23 are installed at the upper part of each movable wind shield 8.

[0022] Working process:
[0023] Normally, when the boiler has no peak-shaving task (i.e., the boiler is running at full load), all the movable wind shields 8 are hidden under the fixed wind shield 7 close to the inner side of the air preheater shell plate 6, and the bottommost movable wind shield 8 (i.e., the frontmost movable wind shield 8, also marked as Q) bears the weight of all the movable wind shields 8.
[0024] When the boiler needs to be peak-loaded, the motor 1 is powered (forward rotation), and the two chains 5 drive the frontmost movable windshield 8 to move forward (toward the center of the air preheater), and the topmost movable windshield 8 (i.e., the last movable windshield 8, also marked as H) also moves forward, and the left and right sides of the movable windshield 8 immediately slide into the corresponding windshield tracks 9 on both sides. When the front end of the movable windshield 8 hits the block 24, it stops moving forward, and then the next movable windshield 8 slides into the corresponding windshield tracks 9 on both sides, and so on, until the frontmost movable windshield 8 moves to the peak-loaded setting position, at which time the cross-sectional area of the flue gas side of the air preheater is reduced, which plays a role in regulating the flow of the air preheater. When the flue gas comes, the windshield tracks 9 on both sides are responsible for lifting the movable windshield 8.
[0025] When the boiler exits the peak load regulation, the motor 1 is powered (reverse), and the two chains 5 drive the frontmost movable windshield 8 to retreat (towards the opposite direction of the center of the air preheater circle), and the retracted pull plate 18 on the frontmost (first) movable windshield 8 retreats and hits the lower part of the push-pull plate 16 at the front end of the upper (second) movable windshield 8, driving this (second) movable windshield 8 to retreat together, and at this time, the wheel 20 of the upper movable windshield 8 is rollingly connected with the upper track 23 of the lower movable windshield 8. And so on, until all the movable windshields 8 are hidden under the fixed windshield 7 close to the inner side of the air preheater shell plate 6.
[0026] If there are changes in the boiler peak load, you can refer to the above steps.
[0027] Two adjacent flow regulating units share a partition plate 19 .
[0028] The number of the movable wind shielding plates 8 is 4 to 10.
[0029] The fixing or fixed connection described in the above embodiments are all welding or bolt connections.
[0030] The flow regulating device on the air side of the air preheater may refer to the flow regulating device on the flue gas side of the above embodiment.
