Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of boiler flue gas waste heat recovery, and specifically relates to a coal-fired power generation boiler system for recovering flue gas waste heat based on a low-temperature air preheater. Background Art
[0002] Efficient recovery of waste heat from flue gas in coal-fired power generation boilers is an important research direction for improving the power generation efficiency of coal-fired power generation units. The most direct way to recover waste heat from flue gas is to use a low-temperature economizer, which uses condensate to reduce the boiler exhaust temperature from approximately 130°C to approximately 90°C. The heated condensate is then returned to the low-pressure heating system. Since the steam extraction volume of the steam turbine is reduced, the steam turbine work is increased, thereby improving the cycle efficiency of the unit. This method is simple, but the efficiency of waste heat recovery is low, and it can usually only reduce power coal consumption by about 2g / kWh. Of this, 0.5g / kWh is due to the reduction in flue gas resistance after the flue gas temperature is reduced. The coal consumption directly reduced by recovering waste heat usually does not exceed 1.5g / kWh.
[0003] At present, a boiler flue gas waste heat recovery system using partial flue gas bypass has been launched in China (such as Figure 1 (as shown in the figure) and has been widely used in newly built large-scale coal-fired power generation units. This system can recover flue gas waste heat relatively efficiently, typically reducing coal consumption by approximately 3g / kWh. However, this boiler flue gas waste heat recovery system still has the following technical issues:
[0004] 1) When the flue gas temperature and heating surface area at the air preheater inlet remain unchanged, the air temperature at the air preheater outlet is lower than the operating condition without flue gas waste heat recovery. That is, after about 15% of the flue gas is bypassed, the air temperature used for combustion is lower than the original design value, which will lead to a decrease in boiler efficiency and an increase in coal consumption. The solution adopted in the existing technology improves the flue gas waste heat recovery effect by setting up a forced circulation heat pipe system to preheat the secondary air and using technical means such as setting up a flue gas bypass. However, the lower air temperature at the air preheater outlet offsets part of the waste heat recovery effect, thereby affecting the overall efficiency of the flue gas waste heat recovery.
[0005] 2) The forced circulation heat pipe system used in existing technologies only heats the secondary air, while the primary air directly enters the air preheater. The primary air accounts for approximately 25% of the total air volume and is not used for flue gas cooling or waste heat recovery in the low-temperature zone, which also reduces the effectiveness of flue gas waste heat recovery.
[0006] 3) A 2-stage heat exchanger is provided in the bypass flue (i.e. Figure 1The forced circulation heat pipe system cannot raise the air preheater outlet temperature sufficiently. The high-temperature economizer outlet water in the bypass flue is directly used as feed water, which has a high waste heat recovery efficiency. The medium-temperature economizer outlet water, on the other hand, is fed to the deaerator, which has a low waste heat recovery efficiency.

[0037] (3) By adopting the partial indirect heat recovery method, the low-temperature air preheater is divided into two parts. The upper part adopts the direct heat exchange method between flue gas and air, and the lower low-temperature end area adopts the forced circulation heat pipe indirect heat exchange method, which avoids the corrosion of the low-temperature air preheater and increases the flexibility of operation adjustment.
[0038] (4) By setting up a secondary air heater, the secondary air can be fully heated here, fully reflecting the effect of flue gas waste heat recovery, while increasing the temperature of the secondary air hot air, which is helpful for boiler combustion organization and also has a positive effect on stable combustion under low load.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] The following is combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention is described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0046] The present invention provides a coal-fired power generation boiler system that uses a low-temperature air preheater to recover waste heat from flue gas. The system comprises a high-temperature economizer 1, a denitrification reactor 3, and a low-temperature economizer 4. The high-temperature economizer 1, the denitrification reactor 3, and the low-temperature economizer 4 are sequentially arranged at the rear of the boiler. The flue gas discharged from the boiler passes through the high-temperature economizer 1, the denitrification reactor 3, and the low-temperature economizer 4 in sequence. The flue gas flowing out of the low-temperature economizer 4 is split into two parts, one for heating the air entering the boiler, and the other for heating the feed water entering the boiler, replacing part of the steam turbine heat recovery system's extraction steam recovery. A coal-fired power generation unit has two heat recovery systems (a boiler air preheating heat recovery system and a steam turbine extraction steam recovery system). Both systems function to recover waste heat that would otherwise be discharged into the environment (low-temperature heat source) and, after improving its energy quality through a high-temperature heat source (furnace), use it for further work, hence the term "heat recovery." The waste heat from the flue gas is used to heat the combustion air and returns to the furnace with the combustion air, which is defined as air-borne heat recovery. The waste heat from the flue gas is used to heat the working water and then returns to the turbine extraction heat recovery system with the working water, which is defined as water-borne heat recovery. The utilization efficiency of air-borne heat recovery is high, which is the cycle efficiency of the unit; the utilization efficiency of water-borne heat recovery is low. The higher the temperature of the returned working water, the higher the utilization efficiency, but it is always lower than the cycle efficiency of the unit. The utilization efficiency of the waste heat from the flue gas is higher when it is carried by the combustion air, while the utilization efficiency is lower when it is carried by the working water. In other words, the efficiency of air-borne heat recovery is always higher than that of water-borne heat recovery. When designing the unit, the two heat recovery systems must be comprehensively optimized to achieve the highest cycle efficiency of the unit. When the waste heat from the flue gas at the tail of the boiler is fully utilized, it is particularly important to comprehensively optimize the above two heat recovery systems.
[0047] Furthermore, in the disclosed embodiment of the present invention, the coal-fired power generation boiler system based on the low-temperature air preheater to recover the waste heat of flue gas also includes: an air preheater and a bypass flue subsystem, a low-temperature air preheater subsystem, a bypass flue feedwater heater and a steam turbine high-pressure heating system subsystem, and a secondary air heater subsystem.
[0048] Specifically, the air preheater and bypass flue subsystem includes: a main flue 27 for discharging the flue gas in the boiler, a bypass flue 28 for discharging the flue gas in the boiler, and a boiler air inlet channel 26 for allowing air to enter the boiler. The air entering the boiler air inlet channel 26 includes primary air and secondary air, and the primary air and secondary air are heated by the waste heat of the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27.
[0049] For example, the flue gas flowing out of the low-temperature economizer 4 is split into two parts. One part is used in the main flue duct 27 of the air preheater and bypass flue subsystem to heat the primary and secondary air entering the boiler air inlet duct 26. The other part is used in the bypass flue duct 28 to reheat the water in the boiler feedwater pipe 29. Under design conditions, the flue gas volume passes through the air preheater, and the flue gas volume passes through the bypass flue duct, accounting for about 20%.
[0050] The low-temperature air preheater subsystem includes: a low-temperature air preheater, which is used to preheat the primary air and secondary air at low temperatures through the waste heat of the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27, so that the primary air and secondary air after low-temperature preheating enter the air preheater and the bypass flue subsystem, and both the primary air and the secondary air participate in the recovery of low-temperature flue gas waste heat.
[0051] For example, a low-temperature air preheater is used to recover the low-temperature waste heat of the flue gas, and the waste heat of the flue gas at the tail of the boiler is deeply utilized. The low-temperature air preheater is used to effectively increase the flue gas temperature level at the outlet of the air preheater and the bypass flue subsystem, thereby improving the efficiency of the bypass flue feedwater heater and the steam turbine high-pressure heating system subsystem in recovering the waste heat of the flue gas.
[0052] The bypass flue feedwater heater and turbine high-pressure heating system subsystem includes: a boiler feedwater pipeline 29 that recovers heat through steam extraction from the turbine and heat from the flue gas in the bypass flue.
[0053] The secondary air heater subsystem is used to reheat the secondary air in the air preheater and the bypass flue subsystem after being heated by the flue gas, and the reheated secondary air enters the boiler combustion system.
[0054] Specifically, the secondary air heater subsystem includes: a secondary air heater 2, which is arranged upstream of the denitrification reactor 3 and downstream of the high-temperature economizer 1; the secondary air heated by the air preheater and the bypass flue subsystem enters the secondary air heater subsystem, is further heated by the flue gas at the secondary air heater 2, and the heated secondary air enters the boiler combustion system.
[0055] For example, the temperature of the secondary air hot air is increased by the secondary air heater 2, thereby improving the boiler efficiency and reducing coal consumption. The secondary air heater 2 is arranged upstream of the SCR denitrification reactor 3 and downstream of the high-temperature economizer 1. The heat transfer temperature difference between the flue gas and the air is high (up to 80K or more), and the heat transfer efficiency is high, so the heating surface area is small. The secondary air is fully heated in the secondary air heater 2 (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the temperature of the secondary air after heating can reach 352°C), which can fully reflect the effect of flue gas waste heat recovery, while helping the boiler combustion organization and also has a positive effect on stable combustion under low load.
[0056] In summary, in the disclosed embodiment of the present invention, both primary and secondary air are involved in the recovery of low-temperature flue gas waste heat, which can fully reflect the flue gas waste heat recovery and improve the waste heat recovery efficiency; under the condition that the heat transfer temperature difference is acceptable, the flue gas temperature at the inlet of the low-temperature air preheater is increased, such as Figure 2The flue gas temperature at the inlet of the medium and low temperature air preheater is T=210°C, which can increase the temperature level of the bypass flue water heater 6, thereby improving the waste heat recovery efficiency. Figure 1 This is difficult to achieve with a forced circulation heat pipe system (as shown in the figure), requiring a second-stage heater in the bypass duct, which reduces waste heat recovery efficiency. Using direct heat exchange between flue gas and air can easily increase the flue gas temperature at the inlet of the low-temperature air preheater, and thus the outlet temperature of the bypass duct.
[0057] The boiler air intake channel 26 includes a primary air intake channel 30 and a secondary air intake channel 31. The low-temperature air preheater includes: a primary air low-temperature preheater 13 and a secondary air low-temperature preheater 12. The primary air intake channel 30 is sequentially provided with a primary fan 15, a primary air low-temperature preheater 13 and a primary air preheater 8. The primary air is delivered by the primary fan 15, passes through the primary air low-temperature preheater 13 and the primary air preheater 8 in sequence, and is reheated by the heat of the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27. The secondary air intake channel 31 is sequentially provided with a secondary fan 14, a secondary air low-temperature preheater 12 and a secondary air preheater 7. The secondary air is delivered by the secondary fan 14, passes through the secondary air low-temperature preheater 12 and the secondary air preheater 7 in sequence, and is reheated by the heat of the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27.
[0058] One heat exchange method between the flue gas and the air in the low-temperature air preheater subsystem is direct heat exchange through the primary air low-temperature air preheater 13 and the secondary air low-temperature air preheater 12 .
[0059] Cold air (ambient air) from the blower (secondary air fan) 14 and primary air fan 15 first enters a low-temperature air preheater to recover waste heat from the flue gas. The low-temperature air preheater comprises a secondary air low-temperature preheater 12 and a primary air low-temperature preheater 13. The flue gas passes through the low-temperature air preheater, reducing its temperature to 85°C before entering the electrostatic precipitator 16, thereby recovering waste heat from the flue gas.
[0060] Since the efficiency of air-borne heat recovery is always higher than that of water-borne heat recovery, the waste heat of flue gas is used as much as possible to heat the combustion air (including primary air and secondary air), especially to heat the secondary air, so that the waste heat recovery benefit obtained by increasing the temperature of the secondary air can be maximized. The boiler air inlet channel 26 includes a primary air inlet channel 30 and a secondary air inlet channel 31. A primary air preheater 8 is provided in the primary air inlet channel 30 for recovering the primary air by utilizing the waste heat of the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27. A secondary air preheater 7 is provided in the secondary air inlet channel 31 for recovering the secondary air by utilizing the waste heat of the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27. The primary / secondary air heated by the low-temperature air preheater enters the air preheater to continue absorbing the waste heat of the flue gas. The primary air is heated by the primary air preheater 8 and then goes directly to the coal powder preparation system. Figure 2 As shown, the primary air temperature t=310°C ( Figure 2 The temperature values indicated in the table are typical design values for a 1000MW unit. Generally, this temperature level meets the drying requirements for the coal type. The primary air temperature generally does not need to be too high. If the primary air temperature is too high, cold air will need to be added before entering the pulverizer, which can cause irreversible losses.
[0061] In order to prevent the primary air temperature from being too high, the method used in the prior art is to prevent the primary air from participating in the heat exchange process of the low-temperature part. However, this method will reduce the efficiency of the flue gas waste heat recovery. The technical solution in the embodiment disclosed in the present invention adopts a moderate air preheater inlet flue gas temperature to control the primary air temperature at a reasonable level. Figure 2 The flue gas temperature at the inlet of the air preheater is T=340°C, which keeps the primary air temperature at a reasonable level. After the secondary air is heated by the secondary air preheater 7, it enters the secondary air heater 2 for further heating. Figure 2 In the scheme, the secondary air temperature reaches t=352°C, which is beneficial to improving boiler efficiency and organizing boiler combustion.
[0062] For example, the core equipment of the disclosed embodiment of the present invention is a low-temperature air preheater (including a primary air low-temperature air preheater 13 and a secondary air low-temperature air preheater 12). In the specific design, attention should be paid to preventing wear, blockage and corrosion. A mixed flow flat plate chamber air preheater or other equipment with good wear, blockage and corrosion resistance and good heat exchange performance can be used (the mixed flow flat plate chamber air preheater includes: a vent and a smoke vent, the vents are arranged at intervals, an air channel for air circulation is formed inside the vent, the air channel is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the smoke vent is arranged on one side of the vent, and the smoke vent forms a smoke channel for smoke circulation, the smoke channel is provided with a smoke inlet and a smoke outlet. It can improve heat exchange efficiency, reduce the volume of the air preheater, prevent dust accumulation and blockage, and reduce wear and corrosion, as shown in the content of patent CN118274340B). The low temperature zone of the low-temperature air preheater is prone to corrosion, so the heating surface in this area should be made of corrosion-resistant materials. In order to ensure the safety of the low-temperature end heating surface of the low-temperature air preheater, a partial indirect heat recovery method can also be used to divide the low-temperature air preheater into two parts. The upper part adopts the direct heat exchange method between flue gas and air, and the lower low-temperature end area adopts the forced circulation heat pipe method (such as Figure 3 (As shown). This approach can avoid corrosion of the low-temperature air preheater and increase operational flexibility. However, the low-temperature region of the heat medium water heat exchanger 24 still presents a corrosion risk. Furthermore, the system is more complex and requires a high investment. The specific trade-offs depend on site conditions and requirements, as well as investor preferences.
[0063] Specifically, another heat exchange mode between the flue gas and the air in the low-temperature air preheater subsystem is partial indirect heat exchange; the low-temperature air preheater subsystem includes: a heat medium water heat exchanger 24, a primary air heater 20, a secondary air heater 19, a primary air heat medium water regulating valve 21, a secondary air heat medium water regulating valve 22, a heat medium water return regulating valve 23, a heat medium water circulation pump 25, a heat medium water circulation pipeline 32, a primary air heat medium water heat exchange pipeline 33 and a secondary air heat medium water heat pipe 34;
[0064] The primary air is delivered by the primary fan 15, passes through the primary air heater 20, the primary air low-temperature preheater 13 and the primary air preheater 8 in sequence, and is reheated by the heat of the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27 before going to the coal powder preparation system; the secondary air is delivered by the secondary fan 14, passes through the secondary air heater 19, the secondary air low-temperature preheater 12 and the secondary air preheater 7 in sequence, and is reheated by the heat of the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27, and then enters the secondary air heater subsystem for heating before entering the boiler combustion system.
[0065] The heat medium water circulation pipeline 32 is provided with the heat medium water circulation pump 25, the heat medium water heat exchanger 24 and the heat medium water return regulating valve 23 in sequence. The heat medium water from the condensate system or the steam turbine low-pressure heating system is heated by the heat medium water heat exchanger 24, and then partially flows back to the steam turbine low-pressure heating system through the return regulating valve 23, while the other part enters the primary air heat medium water heat exchange pipeline 33 and the secondary air heat medium water heat exchange pipeline 34.
[0066] The primary air heat medium water heat exchange pipeline 33 is sequentially provided with the primary air heat medium water regulating valve 21 and the primary air heater 20. The heat medium water is returned to the inlet of the heat medium water circulation pump 25 after heat exchange through the primary air heater 20.
[0067] The secondary air heat medium water heat exchange pipeline 34 is sequentially provided with the secondary air heat medium water regulating valve 22 and the secondary air heater 19 . The heat medium water returns to the inlet of the heat medium water circulation pump 25 after heat exchange through the secondary air heater 19 .
[0068] The air preheater and bypass flue subsystem further includes: a flue gas damper regulating valve 18 , which is arranged in the bypass flue 28 and is used to distribute the flue gas flow discharged from the main flue 27 and the flue gas flow discharged from the bypass flue 28 .
[0069] For example, a flue gas damper regulating valve 18 is installed in the bypass flue 28 to regulate the amount of flue gas passing through the bypass 28 and distribute the flue gas volume passing through the air preheater and the bypass flue to meet the needs of various operating conditions. Simultaneously, a feedwater regulating valve 9 and a bypass water regulating valve 10 are installed in the water supply pipeline to distribute water flow and adjust the outlet water temperature of the bypass flue feedwater heater 6 to keep it consistent with or slightly higher than the feedwater temperature.
[0070] During low-load operation, adjusting the flue gas damper regulating valve 18 can increase the primary and secondary air temperatures, facilitating stable boiler combustion. This also increases the flue gas temperature at the low-temperature air preheater outlet, ensuring the inlet flue gas temperature at the electrostatic precipitator 16 is controlled at 85°C, ensuring the safe operation of the electrostatic precipitator and downstream equipment.
[0071] In addition, the air preheater and bypass flue subsystem also includes: an electrostatic precipitator 16 and an induced draft fan 17; the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27 and the bypass flue 28 passes through the heat medium water heat exchanger 24, the electrostatic precipitator 26 and the induced draft fan 27 in sequence, and then enters the flue gas treatment system; or, the flue gas discharged from the main flue 27 and the bypass flue 28 passes through the electrostatic precipitator 26 and the induced draft fan 17 in sequence, and then enters the flue gas treatment system.
[0072] For example, in Figure 2In the process, the flue gas passes through the low temperature air preheater, the flue gas temperature is reduced to 85 ° C, and then enters the electrostatic precipitator 16, thereby realizing the recovery of flue gas waste heat. Figure 3 The heat exchange mode between the flue gas and the air in the low-temperature air preheater subsystem is a partial indirect heat exchange mode. After the flue gas passes through the low-temperature air preheater, it passes through the heat medium water heat exchanger 24, the electrostatic precipitator 26 and the induced draft fan 27 in sequence and enters the flue gas treatment system.
[0073] In the bypass flue feedwater heater and steam turbine high-pressure heating system subsystem, the boiler feedwater pipeline 29 includes: a first feedwater pipeline 35 for recovering heat through steam extraction from the steam turbine and a second feedwater pipeline 36 for recovering heat through the flue gas in the bypass flue 28; a bypass flue feedwater heater 6 is provided in the bypass flue 28.
[0074] The bypass flue feedwater heater and steam turbine high-pressure heating system subsystem also includes: a feedwater pump 11 and a steam turbine high-pressure heater 5. The output port of the feedwater pump 11 is connected to the steam turbine high-pressure heater 5 through a first feedwater pipeline 35, and is connected to the bypass flue feedwater heater 6 through a second feedwater pipeline 36; the water in the first feedwater pipeline 35 flows out from the output port of the feedwater pump 11, flows through the input port of the steam turbine high-pressure heater 5 and the output port of the steam turbine high-pressure heater 5 in sequence through the first feedwater pipeline 35, and supplies water to the low-temperature economizer 4; the water in the second feedwater pipeline 36 flows out from the output port of the feedwater pump 11, flows through the input port of the bypass flue feedwater heater 6 and the output port of the bypass flue feedwater heater 6 in sequence through the second feedwater pipeline 36, and supplies water to the low-temperature economizer 4.
[0075] The bypass flue feedwater heater and steam turbine high-pressure heating system subsystem also includes: a feedwater regulating valve 9 and a bypass feedwater regulating valve 10; the feedwater regulating valve 9 is arranged on the first feedwater pipeline 35, located between the output port of the feedwater pump 11 and the input port of the steam turbine high-pressure heater 5; the bypass feedwater regulating valve 10 is arranged on the second feedwater pipeline 36, located between the output port of the feedwater pump 11 and the input port of the bypass flue feedwater heater 6.
[0076] For example, it should be noted that, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to ensure an appropriate heat transfer temperature difference and maintain thermal balance in the air preheater, a bypass flue 28 is set in the air preheater area. The amount of flue gas flowing through the bypass flue 28 accounts for about 20% of the total flue gas volume. A feedwater heater 6 is provided in the bypass flue. The water supply of the feedwater heater 6 comes from the feedwater pump 11. The outlet water is combined with the feedwater from the steam turbine high-pressure heater 5 and enters the low-temperature economizer 4. A feedwater regulating valve 9 and a bypass feedwater regulating valve 10 are provided to control the amount of water entering the bypass feedwater heater 6, thereby controlling the heat exchange between the flue gas and the feedwater in the bypass flue 28 and the outlet water temperature of the bypass flue feedwater heater 6. The outlet water temperature of the bypass flue feedwater heater 6 is controlled to be the same as or slightly higher than the feedwater temperature from the steam turbine high-pressure heater 5. A slightly higher temperature helps to improve the waste heat recovery effect. The product of the bypass flue ... As long as this equivalent temperature drop is less than the temperature drop of the flue gas waste heat recovery (e.g., from 127°C to 85°C), it indicates that some of the flue gas waste heat is entering the boiler furnace through air heat recovery, becoming air-borne heat recovery. The efficiency of this air-borne heat recovery is much higher than that of water-borne heat recovery, which is the expected effect based on the double heat recovery theory.
[0077] It should also be noted that the higher the temperature of the turbine extraction steam replaced by the water outlet of the bypass flue feedwater heater 6, the higher the efficiency of waste heat recovery. The highest waste heat recovery efficiency is achieved when only a high-pressure heater is installed in the bypass flue and its outlet water is directly used as feedwater.
[0078] The present invention is further described above with the aid of specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in this field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
