AI Technical Summary
The expansion joints of the preheater pipelines on the existing carbon black production lines have poor stability at high temperatures, the ceramic fiber cotton insulation layer is loose during the expansion and contraction process, and the insulation effect is poor. The deformation of the stainless steel baffle causes the ceramic fiber cotton to leak out, block the burner, and affect the quality of the carbon black.
A heat insulation layer consisting of high-temperature resistant and high-strength ceramic fiber folding blocks is sprayed on its surface with a erosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant silicon-containing hardener on it, instead of the original ceramic fiber cotton heat insulation layer, ensuring that the corrugated pipe is completely isolated from hot air and improving welding strength.
It improves the stability and welding strength of the corrugated pipe, extends the service life of the expansion joint, reduces the number of shutdown and maintenance times, reduces the production cost, and ensures the quality of carbon black products.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of carbon black industry, and specifically relates to a pipe expansion joint connecting a high-temperature air outlet of a high-temperature air preheater (hereinafter referred to as: preheater) and a burner in a vertical direction. Background Art
[0002] The preheater on the carbon black production line heats the cold air and then enters the hot air pipe from the hot air outlet and returns to the reactor burner for combustion, achieving the purpose of energy saving. The air temperature of the preheater currently in use has reached 950°C. The reactor outlet is connected to the preheater base and parallel to the hot air pipe. The hot air enters the burner vertically downward through the elbow. The vertical section of the pipe is equipped with a pipe expansion joint. The shell of the hot air pipe is equipped with an insulation layer and a fire-resistant layer. The ceramic fiber wool and stainless steel baffle are used to form an insulation layer in the bellows of the pipe expansion joint. The expansion joint is in a pre-compression state before installation. The existing problems are: 1. The expansion joint bellows are filled with ceramic fiber cotton, with small compression, large number of waves, long bellows and poor stability of the pipe expansion joint; 2. Under high temperature, as the expansion joint bellows elongate, the ceramic fiber cotton in the bellows becomes looser and the thermal insulation effect is poor, and the strength of the bellows decreases or it is burned through after being heated; 3. Under high temperature, the stainless steel baffle is severely deformed, and the ceramic fiber cotton leaks out of the expansion gap of the baffle into the hot air flow and then into the burner, blocking the burner gas port; 4. After the hot air containing ceramic fiber cotton enters the reactor, the carbon black exhaust contains impurities, and the produced carbon black is of poor quality or unqualified; 5. The bellows and the cylinder are overlapped with welds, the thermal insulation effect of the bellows is poor, and the weld strength is low and easy to crack. Therefore, the heat insulation of the bellows is very important, which directly affects the service life of the expansion joint. The current heat insulation method has poor effect and high damage rate of bellows. Our company has launched a bellows insulation layer technology after research, which can effectively isolate the adverse effects of hot air on the bellows and ensure that no impurities are mixed in the hot air. Butt welds are used between the bellows and the connecting cylinder to solve the problem of weld cracking. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present invention introduces a hot air duct expansion joint. The bellows of the expansion joint adopts an insulation layer composed of high-temperature resistant and high-strength ceramic fiber folded blocks to prevent hot air from contacting the bellows. An erosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant silicon-containing hardener is sprayed on the surface of the insulation layer. The insulation layer replaces the original ceramic fiber cotton and can expand and contract with the expansion joint, so that the bellows is completely isolated from the hot air. The hardened layer protects the insulation layer from being eroded by the high-temperature air flow.

The invention is characterized in that: the duct expansion joint is mainly composed of an upper and lower flange cylinder, an intermediate cylinder and a bellows, and a blocking plate is provided at the mutual connection; the heat insulation layer of the flange cylinder and the intermediate cylinder is composed of a heat preservation layer and a fire-resistant layer; the heat insulation layer of the bellows is composed of a concave heat insulation ring and a convex heat insulation ring matched up and down, and the surface is sprayed with a hardener; the concave heat insulation ring It is composed of several insulation blocks II connected together by connecting pins; the convex insulation ring is composed of several insulation blocks I connected together by connecting pins; the insulation block I is a convex ceramic fiber stacked block; the insulation block II is a concave ceramic fiber folded block; the bellows insulation layer is fixed to the connected cylinder with fixing pins after being connected to the blocking plate, and the two ends are connected to the flange cylinder and the middle cylinder by butt welding; the rain cover is welded to the shell of the upper flange cylinder and the middle cylinder, and is located above the bellows; support plates are welded to the flange cylinder and the middle cylinder, and the pipe expansion joint is adjusted and fixed by a pull rod.
[0005] The design points of the present invention are:
[0006] The heat insulation layer is not affected by the expansion and contraction of the bellows, thereby enhancing the welding strength of the connection between the bellows and the cylinder.
[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0008] 1. The ceramic fiber folded block insulation layer solves the problem of the bellows' strength reduction and deformation after being exposed to high temperature, reduces the number of corrugations and increases the overall stability of the pipe expansion joint;
