Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste heat recovery equipment, and particularly to a flue gas waste heat recovery device for a thermal power plant. Background Art

[0002] The flue gas generated during power generation in a thermal power plant contains a large amount of waste heat, and it is necessary to recover the waste heat in the flue gas to improve the overall energy utilization rate and economic benefits. The tubular heat exchange device is the most commonly used flue gas waste heat recovery equipment. During its operation, particulate matters (such as fly ash and unburned carbon) in the flue gas are likely to deposit on the tube wall when flowing through the heat exchange tubes due to reduced flow velocity, turbulent flow field, or tube wall surface characteristics (such as roughness). If not cleaned in time, an adiabatic ash layer will be formed on the tube wall, significantly reducing the heat exchange efficiency between the flue gas and the medium and affecting the waste heat recovery effect. Currently, there are many technical improvements made to solve the above technical problems. For example: An automatic ash cleaning device for a tubular heat exchanger and a tubular heat exchanger disclosed in the patent with the publication number CN222143905U integrate a purging component in the heat exchange chamber, which can purge the particulate matters attached to the surface of the heat exchange elements to improve the heat exchange efficiency. However, this cleaning method can only remove loose ash deposits and is difficult to remove adhesive ash slag, resulting in poor cleaning effect. When the heat exchange efficiency significantly decays, the heat exchange elements still need to be removed for mechanical cleaning, which is troublesome to operate, has a high maintenance cost, and cannot be operated online, affecting the continuous production. In addition, during the operation of the purging component, the particulate matters that have already settled will be mixed into the flue gas again, increasing the workload of the subsequent flue gas dust treatment link and raising the environmental protection treatment cost.

[0003] A cleanable tubular heat exchanger disclosed in the patent with the publication number CN222086803U is provided with mechanical cleaning components such as threaded rods, nuts, ash cleaning tube plates, and ash cleaning tubes in the shell, and at the same time, cleaning components such as spray pipes and multiple groups of nozzles are provided in the shell, which can achieve a better cleaning effect. However, this technical solution requires installing multiple groups of components in the shell, and the internal structure is cumbersome and complex. The cleaning functional components are in the flue gas environment for a long time, and it is difficult to ensure the operation stability. In addition, although spraying can improve the cleaning effect, it also makes the tube wall more likely to adhere to the particulate matters in the flue gas and form dirt that is difficult to eradicate, thus requiring an increased cleaning frequency and increasing the operating energy consumption of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a flue gas waste heat recovery device for a thermal power plant. This flue gas waste heat recovery device for a thermal power plant can effectively remove the ash slag attached to the tube wall to ensure the heat exchange efficiency and improve the waste heat recovery effect. At the same time, the cleaning operation can be automatically completed online without stopping the machine and disassembling components, which is fast, efficient, and easy to maintain.

Specific embodiments

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] See Figures 1 - 5 As shown, the embodiment discloses a flue gas waste heat recovery device for a thermal power plant, which includes a box body supported and fixed by a bracket 1. Inside the box body, there are an upper smoke chamber 18, a heat exchange chamber 17 and a lower smoke chamber 16 distributed successively from top to bottom. The upper smoke chamber 18, the heat exchange chamber 17 and the lower smoke chamber 16 are isolated from each other. The heat exchange chamber 17 is connected with an input port 13 and an output port 9. The upper smoke chamber 18 is connected with a smoke outlet 12. The lower smoke chamber 16 is connected with a smoke inlet 11. A number of vertically arranged smoke pipes 14 are fixed in the heat exchange chamber 17. The upper smoke chamber 18 and the lower smoke chamber 16 are communicated through the smoke pipes 14. During the working process of this flue gas waste heat recovery device, high-temperature flue gas enters the lower smoke chamber 16 through the smoke inlet 11 and is dispersed into each smoke pipe 14. The flue gas flows upward in the smoke pipes 14 and finally converges in the upper smoke chamber 18 and is discharged through the smoke outlet 12. The heat-absorbing medium is selected from common substances such as water, air or heat-conducting oil. The heat-absorbing medium enters the heat exchange chamber 17 through the input port 13, absorbs the heat of the flue gas and is discharged through the output port 9, circulating to recover the waste heat of the high-temperature flue gas.

[0032] See Figure 1 、 Figures 6 - 9As shown, a piston cylinder 5 is provided directly above each smoke pipe 14; the piston cylinder 5 is cylindrical, extends vertically, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the box body; the upper end of the piston cylinder 5 is connected to a high-pressure gas supply pipe 8, and the high-pressure gas supply pipe 8 is connected to a high-pressure gas source to input high-pressure gas into the interior of the piston cylinder 5. The lower end of the piston cylinder 5 communicates with the upper smoke chamber 18; a piston 23 and an elastic member are provided inside the piston cylinder 5; the piston 23 is in sealed sliding fit with the inner cavity of the piston cylinder 5 and can move up and down; the elastic member is connected between the piston 23 and the piston cylinder 5 and is used to drive the piston 23 to move upward to reset to the initial position; the piston 23 is fixedly connected with a push rod 24 extending downward, and a scraping head 19 capable of cooperating with the inner cavity of the smoke pipe 14 is fixed at the lower end of the push rod 24. Side holes 25 are provided on the side wall of the push rod 24; axial holes 22 are provided inside the piston 23 and the push rod 24, and the side holes 25 communicate with the internal space of the piston cylinder 5 above the piston 23 through the axial holes 22; when the piston 23 is in the initial position, the scraping head 19 is located above the smoke pipe 14. When the piston 23 moves downward, the scraping head 19 enters the corresponding smoke pipe 14 and moves downward along the inner wall of the smoke pipe 14 to scrape off the ash and slag adhering to the inner wall of the smoke pipe 14. During the normal operation of this flue gas waste heat recovery device, the piston 23 is maintained in the initial position. At this time, the scraping head 19 is located above the smoke pipe 14 and does not obstruct the flow path of the flue gas, enabling the flue gas waste heat recovery device to operate normally; when cleaning the inner wall of the smoke pipe 14, high-pressure gas is supplied into the piston cylinder 5 through the high-pressure gas supply pipe 8, and it is ensured that the supply speed of the high-pressure gas is greater than the discharge speed of the side holes 25. The high-pressure gas will push the piston 23 and the push rod 24 downward, and the scraping head 19 will enter the smoke pipe 14 below it and move downward along the inner wall of the smoke pipe 14, thereby scraping off the ash and slag adhering to the inner wall of the smoke pipe 14; at the same time, the high-pressure gas is sprayed at high speed through the side holes 25 of the push rod 24 onto the side wall of the smoke pipe 14 to further clean the residual ash and slag debris on the inner wall of the smoke pipe 14. The blown-off ash and slag debris enter the upper smoke chamber 18 with the airflow and are finally discharged through the smoke outlet 12; after the cleaning work is completed, the supply of high-pressure gas to the piston cylinder 5 is stopped, and the piston 23 is driven upward by the elastic member. The gas inside the piston cylinder 5 gradually leaks out through the side holes 25, and finally the piston 23 resets to the initial position, and this flue gas waste heat recovery device resumes its normal working state.

[0033] See Figure 2 、 Figure 9 As shown, a slag discharge port 10 is provided at the lower end of the lower smoke chamber 16, and a blocking mechanism is provided on the slag discharge port 10; since the smoke pipe 14 extends vertically and its lower end communicates with the lower smoke chamber 16, after the ash and slag adhering to the inner wall of the smoke pipe 14 are scraped off, they will fall to the bottom of the lower smoke chamber 16. The slag discharge port 10 can be used to regularly clean the accumulated ash and slag at the bottom of the lower smoke chamber 16.

[0034] The flue gas waste heat recovery device of this thermal power plant has a cleaning function. During the cleaning process, the scraping head 19 is used to mechanically scrape off the ash and slag, and high-pressure air flow is used to blow away the ash and slag debris, which can obtain good cleaning effect, ensure the stable heat conduction performance of the flue pipe 14, and improve the waste heat recovery efficiency. At the same time, the structural layout of the flue gas waste heat recovery device of this thermal power plant is relatively reasonable. The heat exchange chamber 17 is located between the upper flue chamber 18 and the lower flue chamber 16, and the flue pipes 14 are arranged inside the heat exchange chamber 17, so that the flue gas and the heat absorption medium have a large heat exchange area, which can further improve the waste heat recovery performance. In addition, since the flue gas flows through the inside of the flue pipe 14, the heat exchange efficiency can be improved by setting fins on the outside of the flue pipe 14 without increasing the cleaning difficulty.

[0035] The cleaning operation of the flue gas waste heat recovery device of this thermal power plant can be automatically completed without disassembling components, saving labor costs and being fast and efficient. During the cleaning process, the scraping head 19 can block the lumen of the flue pipe 14, so that the high-pressure air flow ejected from the side holes 25 cannot flow downward in the flue pipe 14, thereby avoiding the high pressure in the lower flue chamber 16 and causing the flue gas to flow back. Thanks to the automatic and efficient cleaning method, the cleaning process takes a short time, and the time for blocking the flue pipe 14 during the cleaning process is very short. The lower flue chamber 16 can bear a certain buffering effect and reduce the pressure fluctuation at the flue gas input end during the cleaning process. Based on the above characteristics, the cleaning process will not have a substantial impact on the working conditions of the boiler end, enabling the cleaning work to be carried out online and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the power generation system.

[0036] As Figure 9 shown, during the cleaning process, since the high-pressure air flow ejected from the side holes 25 cannot flow downward in the flue pipe 14, the ash and slag scraped by the scraping head 19 will settle to the bottom of the lower flue chamber 16 for centralized recovery, maximizing the avoidance of the scraped ash and slag from mixing into the flue gas again, significantly reducing the workload of the subsequent flue gas dust treatment link, and saving the subsequent environmental protection treatment cost.

[0037] For easy assembly, the box body is preferably designed with a combined structure. Specifically, as Figures 1 - 5 shown, the box body is composed of a top cover 4, a main housing 3 and a bottom cover 2 which are sequentially distributed from top to bottom and are combined and connected by bolts. The inside of the main housing 3 is a heat exchange chamber 17, and partition plates 15 are fixed at its upper and lower ends. The two ends of the flue pipe 14 are respectively fixed and supported by the two partition plates 15. The input port 13 and the output port 9 are fixed on opposite sides of the main housing 3. The inside of the top cover 4 is an upper flue chamber 18, the smoke outlet 12 is fixed on one side of the top cover 4, and the piston cylinder 5 is fixed above the top cover 4. The inside of the bottom cover 2 is a lower flue chamber 16, and the smoke inlet 11 is fixed on one side of the bottom cover 2. The upper flue chamber 18 and the lower flue chamber 16 are respectively isolated from the heat exchange chamber 17 by the two partition plates 15.

[0038] Preferably, as Figure 1 、Figure 2 , Figure 9 As shown in Figure 9 , the piston cylinder 5 is divided into several groups. Each group of piston cylinders 5 is connected to the high-pressure gas supply pipe 8 through a branch gas path 7, and a solenoid valve 6 is installed on the branch gas path 7. Thus, the working state of each group of piston cylinders 5 can be independently regulated. When cleaning the smoke pipe 14, high-pressure gas can be supplied to each group of piston cylinders 5 successively, so that the cleaning operation of the smoke pipe 14 can be carried out batch by batch successively, and the flue gas can maintain a normal flow tendency in the flue gas waste heat recovery device of this high-temperature power plant, so as to reduce the impact on other equipment on the flue gas input side and output side during the cleaning process.

[0039] Preferably, as Figure 7 , Figure 8 shown, the elastic member is a tension spring 21, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the piston cylinder 5, and the lower end extends downward in the central hole and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the push rod 24. Thus, the internal space of the piston cylinder 5 is fully utilized, the structural compactness is improved, and it is ensured that the elastic member has sufficient length to meet the working stroke requirements of the piston 23.

[0040] Preferably, as Figure 7 , Figure 8 shown, a sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the push rod 24. When the piston 23 is in the initial position, the wall scraping head 19 is received in the corresponding sleeve 20 and seals the lower end of the piston cylinder 5. Based on this design feature, on the one hand, it can prevent the wall scraping head 19 from being exposed to the flue gas for a long time and adhering to ash and slag, maintaining stable wall scraping performance. On the other hand, it can prevent the flue gas from entering the inside of the piston cylinder 5 and having an adverse impact on the cooperation effect between the piston 23 and the piston cylinder 5.

[0041] Preferably, as Figure 3 , Figure 9 shown, the lower smoke chamber 16 is conical, tapering from top to bottom, so as to facilitate the ash and slag in the lower smoke chamber 16 to be discharged outward through the ash and slag discharge port 10.

[0042] In the flue gas waste heat recovery device of this thermal power plant, the blocking mechanism is arranged on the ash and slag discharge port 10 to adjust the opening and closing state of the ash and slag discharge port 10. During normal operation, the blocking mechanism closes the ash and slag discharge port 10 to prevent flue gas leakage. When there is a large amount of ash and slag accumulated in the lower smoke chamber 16, the blocking mechanism is adjusted to keep the ash and slag discharge port 10 open to discharge the ash and slag in the lower smoke chamber 16. Based on the above setting intention of the blocking mechanism, the blocking mechanism has various implementation structures. For example, the blocking mechanism is a door device that can adjust the opening and closing state of the ash and slag discharge port 10. A more preferred way is: Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 10 , Figure 11As shown, a discharge pipe 30 extending downward is connected to the lower end of the lower smoke chamber 16, and the ash discharge outlet 10 is located at the lower end of the discharge pipe 30; a discharge wheel 28 is rotatably connected to the inside of the discharge pipe 30 through a horizontal rotating shaft 26. One or more material-carrying grooves 29 are formed on the wheel surface of the discharge wheel 28, and a driving mechanism for driving its rotation is connected to the discharge wheel 28; during the rolling process of the discharge wheel 28, the discharge pipe 30 is always blocked, that is, the discharge pipe 30 maintains a cut-off state to prevent the flue gas in the lower smoke chamber 16 from flowing to the outside through the discharge pipe 30; during the rolling process of the discharge wheel 28, the material-carrying groove 29 can transfer the ash above the discharge wheel 28 to the ash discharge outlet 10; thus, by driving the discharge wheel 28 to rotate using the driving mechanism, the ash cleaning operation can be carried out. During this process, the flue gas will not be discharged to the outside through the discharge pipe 30, and the ash cleaning operation can be carried out online, which is efficient and fast; During implementation, the driving mechanism can be an electric mechanism such as a motor, so that the ash cleaning operation can be automatically completed; at the same time, the driving mechanism can also adopt a manual mechanism such as a handwheel 27 or a handle to manually carry out the ash cleaning operation; Further, in order to improve the tightness of the cooperation between the discharge wheel 28 and the discharge pipe 30, two wear-resistant linings 31 are fixedly installed in the discharge pipe 30, and the two wear-resistant linings 31 are respectively located on opposite sides of the discharge wheel 28; the end faces of the wear-resistant linings 31 opposite to the discharge wheel 28 are arc-shaped, and this end face is in sliding contact with the wheel surface of the discharge wheel 28.

[0043] Preferably, the scraping head 19 is cylindrical or disc-shaped to fit the lumen of the smoke pipe 14 and reduce cleaning dead corners. See Figure 12 As shown, in order to further improve the cleaning performance of the scraping head 19, metal bristles 32 are evenly distributed on the middle upper part of the outer peripheral surface of the scraping head 19; during the process of the scraping head 19 moving downward along the smoke pipe, after scraping off the ash, the metal bristles 32 can clean the ash residue on the inner wall of the smoke pipe.

[0044] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0045] Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
