Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of denitration, and in particular to a method for using a compressed air heating system of a urea spray gun of a urea pyrolysis furnace. Background Art

[0002] The compressed air heating system for the urea spray gun of the urea pyrolysis furnace is an important device used to heat the compressed air supporting the spray gun to assist in solving the problem of urea crystallization blockage and ensure the stable operation of the system.

[0003] Heating compressed air using the urea pyrolysis furnace's heat removal system is a technical means of recycling waste heat and reducing energy consumption. The urea pyrolysis furnace is the core equipment for urea pyrolysis to produce ammonia. By burning fuel or utilizing other heat sources, the urea solution decomposes at high temperatures into ammonia and other products. The urea spray gun is a key piece of equipment in the urea pyrolysis furnace's ammonia production process. It is primarily used to spray the urea solution into the pyrolysis furnace, causing it to decompose at high temperatures to produce ammonia. It serves as a crucial link between urea solution delivery and the pyrolysis reaction.

[0004] Most of the existing coal-fired units have installed denitrification systems and widely use urea pyrolysis ammonia production systems. Since the temperature of the urea solution gradually decreases when entering the urea pyrolysis furnace, it is easy for the urea solution to crystallize and become blocked after entering the urea spray gun, which can easily cause the urea pyrolysis furnace to malfunction, causing the denitrification system to work abnormally and the nitrogen oxide emission concentration to exceed the standard, resulting in unit shutdown and affecting the safe, environmental and economic operation of the unit.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] like Figure 1 The illustrated system comprises a urea pyrolysis furnace and a urea spray gun compressed air heating system, comprising a urea pyrolysis furnace, a urea spray gun 5, a heater 6, an air inlet pipe, and an air outlet pipe 9. The urea pyrolysis furnace is provided with an air inlet and a feed port, and the air inlet is suitable for connecting to a heat source 4. The urea spray gun 5 is connected to the feed port, and the feed port is suitable for inputting an ammonia-making raw material 3. The heater 6 is located between the urea pyrolysis furnace and the heat source 4 and is connected to the air inlet. The air inlet pipe is connected to the heater 6 and comprises a first air pipe 7 connected to the heater 6 and a second air pipe 8 connected to the urea spray gun 5. The air outlet pipe 9 is connected between the heater 6 and the second air pipe 8.

[0039] This urea pyrolysis furnace urea spray gun compressed air heating system connects the heater 6 with the air inlet pipe for conveying compressed air 2, and allows part of the compressed air 2 to pass through the heater 6 through the first air pipe 7 and then flow through the second air pipe 8 and then be output to the urea spray gun 5. At the same time, part of the compressed air 2 is directly conveyed to the urea spray gun 5 through the second air pipe 8. The original cold compressed air and the heated compressed air are mixed and the temperature is increased in the second air pipe 8, and then are conveyed to the urea spray gun 5. At this time, the heated compressed air 2 enters the urea spray gun 5 to prevent internal crystallization and blockage, thereby improving the reliability of ammonia production in the urea pyrolysis furnace; this method of simultaneously outputting and mixing the original cold compressed air and the heated compressed air into the urea spray gun 5 can avoid the state change of the compressed air 2 due to being fully heated, and can effectively maintain the use state of the compressed air 2. At the same time, the cold and hot compressed air are conveyed separately through the first air pipe 7 and the second air pipe 8, which can facilitate maintenance in the event of a fault.

[0040] In this embodiment, a first flow regulating structure 11 is provided on the first air pipe 7, a second flow regulating structure 12 is provided on the second air pipe 8, and a third flow regulating structure 13 is provided on the air outlet pipe 9, located between the first air pipe 7 and the air outlet pipe 9. With this arrangement, by providing the first flow regulating structure 11, the second flow regulating structure 12, and the third flow regulating structure 13, the flow rates of the compressed air 2 delivered in the first air pipe 7, the second air pipe 8, and the air outlet pipe 9 can be controlled one by one, effectively controlling the delivery accuracy.

[0041] Specifically, both the first flow regulating structure 11 and the third flow regulating structure 13 are provided with temperature monitoring structures. This arrangement allows for real-time monitoring of the temperature of the heated compressed air output from the air outlet pipe 9 and the temperature of the original cold compressed air output from the second air pipe 8, thereby facilitating real-time control of the output flow rates of the heated compressed air and the original cold compressed air.

[0042] In this embodiment, the urea pyrolysis furnace is connected to the heat source 4 via a hot air delivery pipe 10, and the heater 6 is connected to the hot air delivery pipe 10. A diverter pipe is provided within the heater 6, connecting the first air pipe 7 and the hot air connection pipe. This arrangement diverts some of the hot air from the existing heating structure of the urea pyrolysis furnace to heat the compressed air, eliminating the need for additional heating equipment and requiring only connecting pipes, significantly saving equipment costs.

[0043] In an alternative embodiment, a mixing tank is installed on the second air pipe 8 between the air outlet pipe 9 and the urea spray gun 5. This configuration enhances mixing between the original cold compressed air and the heated compressed air, thereby ensuring a uniform temperature of the compressed air 2 entering the urea spray gun 5. Specifically, the mixing tank is equipped with a flow rate adjustment structure and a temperature detection structure. This configuration allows for real-time measurement of the temperature of the compressed air 2 delivered from the mixing tank to the urea spray gun 5, facilitating real-time control and adjustment of the output flow rate of the compressed air 2.

[0044] A method for using a compressed air heating system for a urea spray gun in a urea pyrolysis furnace comprises the following steps:

[0045] S1: When the primary air heat source 4 enters the urea pyrolysis furnace, the compressed air 2 is heated by the primary air;

[0046] S2: The heated compressed air and the unheated original cold compressed air are combined into the same pipe and then enter the urea spray gun 5.

[0047] In step S1, a heating structure is set between the heat source 4 and the urea pyrolysis furnace. Part of the primary air is output to the urea pyrolysis furnace and part is output to the heating structure. Part of the output compressed air 2 enters the heating structure and is heated before being output.

[0048] In step S1, part of the original cold compressed air is heated before being output, and part is directly output; in step S2, the heated compressed air is output and merged with the output original cold compressed air, and then enters the urea spray gun 5.

[0049] Specifically, the output flow rate of the heated compressed air after being output can be adjusted before heating, and the output flow rate can also be adjusted after heating; the output flow rate of the original cold compressed air after being output can be adjusted before merging with the heated compressed air.

[0050] In summary, the urea spray gun compressed air heating system of the urea pyrolysis furnace connects the heater 6 with the air inlet pipe for conveying compressed air 2, and allows part of the compressed air 2 to pass through the heater 6 through the first air pipe 7 and then flow through the second air pipe 8 and then be output to the urea spray gun 5. At the same time, part of the compressed air 2 is directly conveyed to the urea spray gun 5 through the second air pipe 8. The original cold compressed air and the heated compressed air will be mixed and the temperature will be increased in the second air pipe 8, and then be conveyed to the urea spray gun 5. At this time, the heated compressed air 2 enters the urea spray gun 5 to prevent internal crystallization and blockage, thereby improving the reliability of ammonia production in the urea pyrolysis furnace; this method of simultaneously outputting and mixing the original cold compressed air and the heated compressed air into the urea spray gun 5 can avoid the state change of the compressed air 2 due to being heated, and can effectively maintain the use state of the compressed air 2. At the same time, the cold and hot compressed air are conveyed separately through the first air pipe 7 and the second air pipe 8, which can be conveniently repaired in case of failure.

[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
