Heating is a major consumer of energy, and there is a great demand for heat in society. The situation of emission reduction is severe, and in order to achieve the double carbon goal, it is necessary to realize the transformation from fossil energy heating to zero-carbon waste heat.
[0003] Boiler waste heat resources are the best zero-carbon heat sources. In view of the above situation, the waste heat utilization reconstruction project of waste heat boilers has increased in recent years. The waste heat utilization of waste heat boilers generally increases a water plate heat exchanger at the outlet flue of the boiler. In order to reduce the influence on the original boiler structure, the water plate heat exchanger needs an independent support structure. The concrete structure can realize the functions of supporting and fixing the water plate heat exchanger. The distance from the outlet flue of the waste heat boiler to the chimney is relatively short. Due to the limited space above the ground, the load of the water plate heat exchanger is large, and the concrete structure occupies a lot of space. The concrete structure above the ground interferes with other equipment.
[0004] In summary, the existing waste heat boiler has the technical problems that the support structure of the water plate heat exchanger occupies a large space and is easy to interfere with other equipment. SUMMARY

[0014] As another improvement of the present application, the number of the water collecting tank support plates is determined according to the size and bearing requirement of the water collecting tank.
[0015] As another improvement of the present application, the drain pipe transports the condensate water collected by the water collecting tank to an external water treatment system.
[0016] As another improvement of the present application, the number and arrangement of the vertical poles and the horizontal poles can be adjusted according to the width of the plate heat exchanger and the space condition on site.
[0017] As another improvement of the present application, the material of the support frame is steel.

Its function is to release the bending moment through this connection method and mainly transmit the vertical and horizontal forces. The other components and connection methods are the same as those of any one of the first to fifth embodiments.
