Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a heat recovery device for a rotary air preheater. Background Art

[0002] A rotary air preheater is a device specifically used to improve the heat exchange efficiency of a boiler and reduce energy consumption. By slowly rotating, flue gas enters its flue gas side and is then discharged. In this process, the heat in the flue gas is absorbed by the fins. As the air preheater continues to rotate, the fins turn to the air side and transfer the absorbed heat to the air about to enter the boiler. The heat receiving surface of the air preheater is installed in a rotatable cylindrical rotor, and the rotor is also divided into several fan-shaped compartments, and each compartment is filled with heat transfer devices made of metal sheets. The top and bottom of the circular shell are divided into three main parts: a flue gas flow area, a sealing area, and an air flow area. During use, the corrugated plates at the cold end of the rotary air preheater are prone to ash accumulation and blockage. Currently, the general method is to use externally introduced air for blowing, but the cleaning effect is not good. On the other hand, a large amount of heat is contained in the ash discharged from the boiler, but very little of it is currently utilized, resulting in a certain waste of high-quality energy in the boiler.
