Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of boiler manufacturing technology, and in particular to a hot water boiler. Background Technology

[0002] Hot water boilers are core thermal energy devices in industrial heating, district heating, and other scenarios. They heat the working fluid (water) through fuel combustion and deliver it to the heat-consuming end to meet dynamic heat demand. In traditional hot water boiler designs, the boiler drum is the core component for storing and distributing the working fluid. External return water first enters the boiler drum for temporary storage, then is distributed to the heating surfaces through downcomers. After absorbing heat, it flows back to the boiler drum through risers and is finally delivered to the heat-consuming system. In practical applications, the load at the heat end often fluctuates dynamically. However, traditional drum boilers, limited by the drum structure, have significant shortcomings in load response, specifically manifested as follows: 1) Traditional boiler drums require sufficient volume for working fluid storage and distribution, with water accounting for 50-70% of the total boiler volume. This inevitably leads to a surge in the total amount of working fluid and excessive heat storage. In scenarios with dynamic load changes, a larger total amount of working fluid requires more heat for temperature regulation, resulting in decreased heat transfer efficiency and significant temperature lag, directly affecting the boiler's ability to quickly adapt to load changes. 2) When the load increases suddenly, the large amount of low-temperature working fluid stored in the boiler drum takes 10-20 minutes to heat up to the target output temperature, which can easily lead to insufficient temperature supply at the heat-consuming end. When the load decreases suddenly, the high-temperature working fluid remaining in the boiler drum will continue to be output, which not only wastes energy but may also cause overheating failures in heat-consuming equipment. The load response time of conventional traditional boilers is 8-15 minutes, which is difficult to meet the response requirements of modern heat consumption scenarios, especially having an adverse effect on fields such as fine chemicals that require high-precision temperature control. To mitigate load response lag, traditional boilers often employ two types of redundancy designs: one is to reserve 20-30% of the burner power, and the other is to add auxiliary heat exchange devices. However, these designs not only significantly increase equipment investment costs but also lead to energy efficiency losses under normal load conditions. Crucially, frequent load fluctuations can also pose operational safety risks: the temperature and pressure of the working fluid inside the boiler drum change with the load, which can easily generate alternating thermal stress on the boiler drum wall. Long-term accumulation can lead to fatigue damage of the welds. At the same time, load fluctuations can disrupt the stability of the working fluid flow, causing abnormal water supply flow in the downcomer and return velocity in the riser, which can lead to problems such as steam blockage and backflow.

[0003] In summary, technical personnel are urgently needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hot water boiler that addresses the problems in existing designs, such as the large water volume and high heat storage capacity caused by the boiler drum, resulting in delayed load response, inability to adapt to dynamic heat demand, the need for redundant design which exacerbates energy loss, and the operational risks caused by frequent load fluctuations.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the hot water boiler is mainly composed of an inlet header 1, an economizer 2, a first outlet header 3, a channel heating surface header group 4, a furnace heating surface header group 5, and a second outlet header 6 connected in sequence, and is also equipped with a dual-adjustable air burner 7. The inlet header 1 is equipped with a return water inlet for collecting external return water, providing an initial convergence node for the working fluid flow. The inlet of the economizer 2 is connected to the outlet of the inlet header 1, preheating the return water output from the inlet header 1 to improve energy utilization efficiency through waste heat recovery. The inlet of the first outlet header 3 is connected to the outlet of the economizer 2, temporarily storing the preheated water and stably transporting it to the channel heating surface header group 4 to ensure uniform distribution of the working fluid. The inlet of the channel heating surface header group 4 is connected to the outlet of the first outlet header 3, and is equipped with a serpentine heat exchange tube bundle inside to allow the working fluid to complete the initial heat absorption. Specifically, it includes the upper heating surface header group 41 on the right wall of the channel and the lower heating surface header group 42 on the right wall of the channel. The two components work together to expand the initial heat absorption area; the inlet end of the furnace heating surface header group 5 is connected to the outlet end of the channel heating surface header group 4, and is arranged around the outer wall of the furnace to allow the working fluid to absorb the high-temperature heat generated by the combustion of fuel in the furnace. It includes the upper heating surface header group 51 on the left wall of the furnace, the lower heating surface header group 52 on the left wall of the furnace, the upper heating surface header group 53 on the rear wall of the furnace, the lower heating surface header group 54 on the rear wall of the furnace, the upper heating surface header group 55 on the front wall of the furnace, and the lower heating surface header group 56 on the front wall of the furnace. The surrounding design ensures that the working fluid fully absorbs heat; the inlet end of the second outlet header 6 is connected to the outlet end of the furnace heating surface header group 5, and it is equipped with a hot water outlet to collect the heated working fluid and output it outward, completing the complete flow of the working fluid. It is worth noting that this invention constructs a working fluid temporary storage and distribution system using an inlet header 1, a first outlet header 3, and a second outlet header 6. By eliminating the traditional boiler drum structure, the boiler water volume is significantly reduced, thereby substantially decreasing the total heat storage required by the hot water boiler. The working fluid can efficiently flow along the path of "inlet header 1 → economizer 2 preheating → first outlet header 3 distribution → channel heating surface header group 4 initial heat absorption → furnace heating surface header group 5 high-temperature heat absorption → second outlet header 6 output". The temperature regulation requires less heat and has high transfer efficiency. It can quickly adapt to temperature changes and achieve rapid response, effectively meeting the temperature accuracy and dynamic load requirements of various scenarios, including fine chemical industry. Furthermore, the channel heating surface header group 4 includes a matrix arrangement of channel heating surface modules, while the furnace heating surface header group 5 includes a matrix arrangement of furnace heating surface modules. Adjacent channel heating surface modules and adjacent furnace heating surface modules are connected via standardized flange interfaces with positioning structures, facilitating modular assembly and subsequent maintenance. The channel heating surface modules and furnace heating surface modules adopt a zoned expansion design, with the high-temperature section using a membrane wall and needle-fin composite structure to expand the heat exchange area, and the low-temperature section using spiral finned tube assemblies to achieve gradient heat exchange, thereby further improving heat exchange efficiency and adapting to the heat exchange requirements of different temperature ranges. The tube bundle of the channel heating surface module adopts micro-slit expansion heat exchange tubes, and the axial gap width of the tubes gradually changes along the medium flow direction, which enhances the heat exchange effect between the working medium and the tube bundle. The channel heating surface header group 4 is also equipped with a high-pressure pulse rotary spray system, whose spray radius matches the matrix size of the channel heating surface module to achieve full coverage cleaning of the heating surface, avoid the phenomenon of scale affecting heat exchange efficiency, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the hot water boiler.

[0020] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the spiral finned tube is fixed to the base tube by high-frequency resistance welding, which ensures a firm connection and excellent heat conduction performance. The fin surface is covered with a nano-ceramic anti-corrosion coating to extend its service life. The economizer 2 and the boiler body are integrated and skid-mounted through a rigid frame with an elastic buffer layer to reduce vibration damage during transportation and installation. The bottom of the frame is equipped with a rotatable and adjustable hoisting trunnion and a self-guiding transportation component, which facilitates on-site hoisting and position adjustment and shortens the installation cycle. This design also reduces material consumption and manufacturing costs due to the absence of thick-walled pressure-bearing components such as the boiler drum, thus forming an economic advantage. The hot water boiler also includes a flue gas recirculation system (not shown in the figure). The dual-adjustable-air burner 7 is used to create a strong swirling combustion field. The intensity of the primary air swirling and the graded ratio of the secondary air are dynamically adjusted, ensuring that the oxygen content in the exhaust gas is ≤2.5% and the boiler thermal efficiency is ≥92%, thus improving combustion completeness and energy efficiency. The air intake of the flue gas recirculation system is connected to the furnace outlet flue, and a high-efficiency filter is installed at the air intake to prevent impurities from entering the system. The return gas pipe is connected to the secondary air channel of the dual-adjustable-air burner 7 and is equipped with a flow regulating valve to precisely control the amount of flue gas reused, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions and meeting environmental protection requirements. Furthermore, the hot water boiler adopts a horizontal corner tube bearing structure. Specifically, the corner tubes are preferably seamless steel pipes for supercritical applications, which are high in strength and resistant to high temperature and pressure. They are equipped with variable pitch spiral guide vanes to promote uniform flow of the working fluid. Adjacent corner tubes are connected by a transverse truss with vibration damping pads to form a rigid whole, improving the overall structural stability of the boiler. The water flow adopts a three-stage intelligent circulation mode. The forced circulation section is equipped with a variable frequency pump and an electromagnetic flowmeter for precise flow control. The natural circulation section has a visual monitoring window for easy observation of the working fluid flow status. The mixing circulation section includes a jet mixing device to ensure uniform mixing of the working fluid. Based on this, the inlet header 1 ensures concentrated and stable return water, the first outlet header 3 achieves uniform distribution, the furnace heating surface header group 5 ensures balanced heat absorption, and the second outlet header 6 completes orderly output. There is no working fluid stagnation area throughout the process, and the temperature and pressure changes are gradual. The serpentine tube bundle of the channel heating surface and the surrounding structure of the furnace heating surface guide the stable flow of the working fluid, avoiding abnormalities such as "steam blockage" and "backflow," thus ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the boiler from a structural perspective. Hot water boilers are preferably shipped as pre-assembled modular units, with pre-assembly completed at the factory. Pipeline interfaces are equipped with quick-locking structures for easy on-site connection. The insulation layer uses aerogel composite vacuum insulation technology, providing excellent insulation performance and reducing heat loss. The electrical system is a plug-and-play bus architecture, reducing on-site wiring complexity, further shortening the installation cycle, and improving construction efficiency.

[0021] It is particularly important to emphasize here that the hot water boiler also includes a digital twin-based intelligent control system. This system uses the physical entity of the hot water boiler as a prototype to construct a digital model that couples multiple physical fields, including working fluid flow, heat transfer, and combustion reaction. This model maps the boiler's operating status in real time, providing precise data support for control and diagnosis. The core component of this intelligent control system is the adaptive adjustment module. This module collects multi-dimensional operating data in real time through a distributed sensor network. Specifically, this includes furnace outlet flue gas temperature (collection frequency 1 time / s, measurement accuracy ±2℃), flue gas oxygen content (using a zirconia sensor, accuracy ±0.1%), and working fluid temperature difference (covering six sets of temperature difference data: economizer inlet / outlet, channel heating surface inlet / outlet, and furnace heating surface inlet / outlet, accuracy ±0.5℃). This data is then transmitted to the central controller for fusion and analysis. The adaptive control module employs a fuzzy PID algorithm for dynamic regulation: when the system detects an increase in heat load demand (e.g., a drop in return water temperature at the hot end exceeding 3°C), the algorithm prioritizes increasing the fuel supply (adjusting in increments of 0.5–1% per cycle to avoid incomplete combustion due to a sudden increase in fuel), while simultaneously increasing the air volume to ensure the air-fuel ratio remains within the optimal range of 1.05–1.1. If an increase in influent water hardness is detected (e.g., calcium and magnesium ion concentration exceeding 200 mg / L), the circulating water pump frequency will be appropriately increased (adjustment range 25–50 Hz) to accelerate the working fluid flow rate and reduce scale deposition. When the circulation resistance slightly increases due to pipeline impurities (e.g., pressure difference exceeding 5 kPa), the algorithm will collaboratively optimize the furnace air distribution ratio by reducing the primary air proportion and increasing the secondary air swirl intensity, thereby indirectly reducing overall system energy consumption while maintaining combustion efficiency. Through multi-parameter collaborative control, the adaptive control module ensures that the boiler's thermal efficiency remains stably above 90% within a load range of 50–110%. The intelligent diagnostic module uses densely arranged infrared thermal imaging arrays (every 1m²) in key heat exchange areas of the channel heating surface header group 4 and the furnace heating surface header group 5. 2 The heated surface is equipped with one thermal imager (temperature range -20~1500℃, spatial resolution 0.5mrad) and one ultrasonic sensor (one every 1.5m along the header length, detection depth 0~50mm, accuracy ±0.1mm) to construct a comprehensive monitoring network. This module uses deep learning algorithms, with historical operating data as training samples, to identify in real time the scaling trend (issuing an alert when scale thickness exceeds 0.5mm), corrosion level (distinguishing between pitting and uniform corrosion, triggering a maintenance reminder when corrosion depth exceeds 0.2mm), and wear status (initiating a fault response when the pipe wall thickness reduction exceeds 10% of the design value). The intelligent diagnostic module connects wirelessly to the remote monitoring platform via 5G / industrial Ethernet. When an anomaly is detected, it pushes three levels of alerts based on the severity of the fault (Level 1: minor anomaly, suggest attention; Level 2: moderate anomaly, need to check within 12 hours; Level 3: severe anomaly, need to shut down immediately), and automatically generates an operation and maintenance plan including 3D disassembly guidance. The plan will mark the precise coordinates of the fault location (e.g., "3m in the middle of section 52 of the lower heating surface of the left wall of the furnace"), a list of required tools, a sequence diagram of operation steps, and safety precautions. Maintenance personnel can directly refer to the plan to carry out their work, which will greatly shorten maintenance time and effectively reduce boiler downtime. The intelligent diagnostic module's multi-parameter cross-validation unit further enhances diagnostic accuracy. This unit not only collects the boiler's own operating data (such as working fluid flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures, and combustion pressure), but also simultaneously accesses environmental parameters (outdoor temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, collected once every 5 minutes) and fuel characteristic data (such as fuel calorific value, sulfur content, and ash content, updated each time fuel is replaced). By establishing a multi-factor correlation model, it dynamically corrects the warning threshold. For example, when the outdoor temperature is below -10℃, the warning upper limit for the furnace outlet flue gas temperature is appropriately relaxed (adjusted from 300℃ to 320℃) to avoid false warnings caused by low ambient temperatures; when the fuel sulfur content exceeds 0.8%, the warning threshold for corrosion depth is lowered (adjusted from 0.2mm to 0.15mm) to proactively prevent sulfur corrosion risks.

[0022] Furthermore, the multi-parameter cross-validation unit supports data interaction with the regional energy management system, enabling real-time uploading of boiler health status (such as heating surface integrity rate, energy efficiency level, and fault risk value), current load rate, and adjustable margin. Based on this data, the regional energy management system can perform load scheduling among clustered hot water boilers (e.g., 10 or more units). For example, when a boiler is in good health but its load rate is only 60%, a portion of the load (e.g., 10-15%) from other boilers in average health but with a load rate of 90% can be transferred to that boiler. This ensures equipment safety while achieving optimal overall cluster energy efficiency, adapting to large-scale energy management needs and further expanding the application value of hot water boilers in urban centralized heating, industrial park heating, and other scenarios.
