Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste heat utilization technology, and in particular to a device for utilizing waste heat from flue gas exhaust in thermal power plants and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In thermal power plants, the recovery and utilization of waste heat from flue gas is considered an important means of improving energy efficiency. Since the flue gas emitted from boilers contains a large amount of waste heat, accounting for a significant proportion of the total heat loss in the boiler, the effective recovery and utilization of this heat energy is of great importance for improving unit operating efficiency and reducing coal consumption.

[0003] In existing technologies, heat from boiler exhaust gas is typically transferred to water or other media via heat exchange equipment to achieve waste heat recovery. However, in actual operation, heat exchange plates often face the following problems: Flue gas often carries unburned particulate matter and fly ash, which easily adhere to and deposit on the heat exchange plate surface, forming ash buildup and reducing heat transfer efficiency. If the exhaust gas temperature is lower than the flue gas dew point temperature, water vapor in the flue gas will condense into water droplets on the heat exchange surface. When the flue gas contains sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides, these gases dissolve in the condensate to form acidic substances, which can corrode the heat exchange plates and affect the equipment's service life.

[0004] To prevent the above problems from adversely affecting the system's operating efficiency and equipment safety, staff need to regularly clean the dust and particulate matter adhering to the heat exchange plates and drain the condensate in a timely manner to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the heat exchange system.

[0024] The left and right sides of the heat exchange box 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 4 and the exhaust pipe 5. The diameter of the inlet pipe 4 is larger than that of the exhaust pipe 5 to reduce the speed at which the flue gas flows out of the heat exchange box 3. The back of the heat exchange box 3 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 6 by bolts. Several support rods are fixedly connected to the inside of the cover plate 6. The other end of each support rod is fixedly connected to the heat exchange box 7. Each heat exchange box 7 is connected to a water absorption assembly on its side.

At the same time, the water supply pipe 12 drives the second mounting plate 11 to push the sealing ring 10 into the interior of the first mounting plate 9, thus completing the rapid connection between the water supply pipe 12 and the water pipe 8.

[0025] Several water collection tanks 71 are provided on both sides of the heat exchange box 7, and the water collection tanks 71 are arranged at equal intervals on the sides of the heat exchange box 7. The heat exchange boxes 7 are arranged at equal intervals in the internal space of the heat exchange chamber 3. Each heat exchange box 7 has a cleaning plate 20 connected to its top and bottom. A pull rod 21 is fixedly connected to the center of the cleaning plate 20. The surface of the pull rod 21 is slidably connected to the cover plate 6. A connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 21 that passes through the cover plate 6. The top of the connecting plate 22 is provided with a drive assembly that drives the connecting plate 22 to drive the pull rod 21 to reciprocate. The drive assembly includes a first rotating rod 23, a push plate 24, a second rotating rod 25, a first gear 26, a rotating rod 27, a support plate 28, a motor 29, a transmission rod 30, and a second gear 31.

The top of the support plate 28 is fixedly connected to the surface of the motor 29. The output shaft of the motor 29 is connected to the transmission rod 30. The surface of the transmission rod 30 is fixedly connected to the interior of the second gear 31. The second gear 31 meshes with the first gear 26. A recycling box 19 is bolted to the bottom of the cover plate 6, and the recycling box 19 is located directly below the last heat exchange box 7; the recycling box 19 is used to recycle impurities and condensate that fall from the heat exchange box 7. Several first high-temperature resistant temperature sensors are fixedly connected to the inner side of the cover plate 6. Each first high-temperature resistant temperature sensor corresponds to a heat exchange box 7, allowing the first high-temperature resistant temperature sensor to detect the surface temperature of the heat exchange box 7. A high-temperature resistant humidity sensor is provided on the top of the inner wall of the heat exchange box 3 to detect whether condensation occurs on the surface of the heat exchange box 7. A second high-temperature resistant temperature sensor is provided on the top of the inner wall of the heat exchange box 3 to detect the internal temperature of the heat exchange box 3. The second high-temperature resistant temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the air inside the heat exchange box 3. A controller is fixedly connected to the side of the waste heat recovery box 1. A chip is installed inside the controller, and the chip is used for... The controller processes information from the high-temperature and high-temperature humidity sensors and controls the start and stop of water pump 15 and motor 29 respectively. The chip contains a dew point temperature meter. The controller is electrically connected to the humidity sensor, the first high-temperature humidity sensor, the second high-temperature humidity sensor, motor 29, and water pump 15. By configuring the controller, humidity sensor, and high-temperature temperature sensor, the controller transmits the humidity values ​​detected by the first and second high-temperature humidity sensors and the internal temperature of the heat exchange box 3 detected by the high-temperature temperature sensor to the controller. The controller then calculates the dew point temperature using the dew point temperature calculation formula. To make a comparison, when This can cause condensation to appear on the surface of the heat exchange box 7.

[0026] The waste heat recovery device for flue gas from thermal power plants, as described in this invention, is used as follows: The flue gas and exhaust gas enter the interior of the heat exchange box 3 through the flue gas inlet pipe 4. At the same time, the controller controls the water pump 15 to start, so that the water pump 15 delivers the cold water in the cold water tank 2 to the interior of the first telescopic water pipe 13 through the water supply pipe 14. Then, the cold water enters the interior of the heat exchange box 7 through the first telescopic water pipe 13, the water supply pipe 12, and the water pipe 8 in sequence. At the same time, the interior of the heat exchange box 3 is filled with flue gas and exhaust gas and exchanges heat with the heat exchange box 7. The heat in the flue gas and exhaust gas heats the cold water inside the heat exchange box 7. The heated water is discharged from the water pipe 8 on the other side of the heat exchange box 7. The heated water is discharged into the interior of the cold water tank 2 through the water pipe 8 on the right side, the water supply pipe 12, the second telescopic water pipe 16, and the return pipe 161 in sequence, completing the cold water circulation inside the cold water tank 2. The flue gas and exhaust gas entering the heat exchange box 3 continuously heat the cold water. When the flue gas and exhaust gas first enter the heat exchanger 3, cold water exchanges heat with the flue gas and exhaust gas, reducing their temperature. The humidity value is then detected by a high-temperature humidity sensor. The first high-temperature resistant temperature sensor detects the temperature value T inside the heat exchange box 3, and the second high-temperature resistant temperature sensor detects the temperature value T1 on the surface of the heat exchange box 7. These values ​​are transmitted to the controller, which then calculates the dew point temperature using the formula: ; T, T1, T d The unit is ℃; The unit is: % 6.112 is the reference saturated vapor pressure, in hPa; 7.62 Empirical coefficients of the Magnus formula; 243.12 Empirical coefficients of the Magnus formula, in °C; Calculate the dew point temperature T d To make a comparison, when T d When T1 is greater than or equal to 1, condensation will appear on the surface of the heat exchange box 7. The controller starts the motor 29, which drives the transmission rod 30 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 30 drives the second gear 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 26 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 26 pushes the push plate 24 to move via the second rotating rod 25. The movement of the push plate 24 pushes the connecting plate 22 via the first rotating rod 23, which in turn moves the pull rod 21. The pull rod 21 moves along with the cleaning plate 20, which scrapes away the condensate from the top and bottom of the heat exchange box 7. At the same time, the water collection tank 71 on the side of the heat exchange box 7 collects the condensate, which drips into the inside of the recovery box 19. This prevents sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides in the flue gas and exhaust gas from dissolving in the condensate to form an acidic solution, which could then corrode the heat exchange box 7. When the flue gas and exhaust gas first enter the interior of the heat exchange box 3, unburned particulate matter, fly ash and other impurities in the flue gas and exhaust gas are deposited on the surface of the heat exchange plate. At the same time, the drive component drives the recovery box 19 through the connecting plate 22 and the pull rod 21 to push the particulate matter, fly ash and other impurities on the top of the heat exchange box 7 into the recovery box 19, thus cleaning the particulate matter, fly ash and other impurities and preventing the efficiency of heat exchange from decreasing.

[0027] Staff need to periodically remove the recycling bin 19 from inside the heat exchange box 3 and clean out any impurities inside the recycling bin 19.

[0028] This invention uses a motor to drive a transmission rod to rotate, which in turn drives a second gear to rotate, which in turn drives a first gear to rotate. The rotation of the first gear, in turn, drives a push plate to move via a second rotating rod. The movement of the push plate, in turn, drives a connecting plate via the first rotating rod, which in turn drives a pull rod to move. The pull rod's movement causes a cleaning plate to scrape away the condensate from the top and bottom of the heat exchange box. Simultaneously, a water collection tank on the side of the heat exchange box collects the condensate, allowing it to drip into the inside of the recovery tank. This prevents sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides in the flue gas and exhaust gas from dissolving in the condensate to form an acidic solution that could corrode the heat exchange box. The pull rod's movement also causes the cleaning plate to scrape away particulate matter, fly ash, and other impurities from the top of the heat exchange box, which then fall into the recovery tank. This completes the cleaning of particulate matter, fly ash, and other impurities, preventing a decrease in the efficiency of the heat exchange.

[0029] This invention transmits the humidity values ​​detected by the first and second high-temperature humidity sensors and the internal temperature of the heat exchange box detected by the high-temperature temperature sensor to the controller. The controller then calculates the dew point temperature according to the dew point temperature calculation formula and compares the results. When the surface temperature of the heat exchange box is less than or equal to the dew point temperature, condensation will occur on the surface of the heat exchange box, thus achieving accurate detection of condensation on the surface of the heat exchange box.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
