Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of distillation furnace equipment, waste heat recovery and ash cooling, and specifically to a system and method for cooling ash and slag and recovering waste heat in a Fushun distillation furnace based on air-water co-cooling. Background Technology
[0002] The Fushun-type dry distillation furnace is the core equipment for the dry distillation and upgrading of oil shale. The high-temperature ash slag it produces carries a large amount of waste heat. Ash slag cooling and waste heat recovery are key links to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the dry distillation furnace and improve energy utilization efficiency. It is widely used in the dry distillation production process in energy, chemical and other industries.
[0003] Currently, most existing ash and slag cooling systems in Fushun distillation furnaces employ a single spray water cooling method. This method suffers from fluctuations in cooling efficiency due to variations in spray water volume and distribution uniformity. Furthermore, the waste heat recovery process is limited in its methods and has a low utilization rate. Additionally, the spray water cooling process generates a large amount of wastewater containing impurities, which is difficult and costly to treat, and also results in significant water consumption and waste. Moreover, traditional cooling systems lack dynamic load control capabilities and cannot flexibly adjust the cooling load ratio according to changes in operating conditions, further hindering the system's energy conservation, consumption reduction, and efficient resource utilization. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing ash and slag cooling systems for Fushun distillation furnaces, which mostly employ a single spray water cooling mode. Specifically, these systems easily generate large amounts of wastewater containing impurities, leading to difficult and costly subsequent treatment and significant water waste. Furthermore, the waste heat recovery methods are limited, resulting in low recovery rates and a lack of effective dynamic load control mechanisms, making it impossible to adapt to changes in operating conditions and adjust the cooling load accordingly. This invention provides a Fushun distillation furnace ash and slag cooling and waste heat cascade recovery system and method based on air-water co-cooling. By integrating an air-water co-cooled drum ash cooler, a hot air purification and conditioning reuse unit, and a hot water cascade utilization unit, and in conjunction with a dynamic load control mechanism, it achieves efficient ash and slag cooling, reduces wastewater generation, saves water resources, and enables cascade recovery of waste heat. The hot air generated by the air cooling system can be recycled after treatment by the hot air purification and conditioning reuse unit, further improving energy recovery and utilization rates to achieve the goals of energy conservation, consumption reduction, and efficient resource utilization. To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides the following technical solutions.
[0005] A system and method for cooling ash and cascaded recovery of waste heat from a Fushun dry distillation furnace based on air-water co-cooling includes an air-water co-cooled drum ash cooler, a hot air purification and conditioning reuse unit, and a hot water cascaded utilization unit. The air outlet of the air-water co-cooled drum ash cooler is connected to the hot air purification and conditioning reuse unit, and the water outlet is connected to the hot water cascaded utilization unit. The system realizes the distribution and adjustment of air-cooling and water-cooling loads through a dynamic control module.
[0006] The air-water co-cooled drum slag cooler includes a drum shell, a water-cooled tube bundle and an air-cooled flow channel disposed in the interlayer of the drum shell, and a high-efficiency anti-sticking plate inside the drum.
[0007] Both the inlet and outlet of the water-cooled tube bundle adopt rotary bidirectional joints. The air-cooled flow channel flows around the water-cooled tube bundle in the interlayer. The relative positions of the two with the lifting plate meet the requirements of uniform heat exchange of ash and slag.
[0008] The hot air purification and conditioning reuse unit is used to remove dust and condition the hot air produced by the air-water co-cooled drum slag cooler. The purified hot air can be reused for combustion in the dry distillation furnace or other process heat applications.
[0009] The hot water cascade utilization unit is used to distribute the hot water produced by the water-cooled tube bundle in a cascade manner, giving priority to meeting the high-grade heat demand scenarios, and then using the remaining heat for low-grade heat use scenarios, so as to achieve efficient cascade utilization of heat energy.
[0010] The dynamic control module can dynamically allocate and adjust the load ratio of air cooling and water cooling based on the ash temperature, the heat demand signals of the downstream hot air and hot water, and coordinate the operation status of the hot air purification and conditioning reuse unit and the hot water cascade utilization unit.
[0011] The high-efficiency anti-sticking lifting plate of the air-water co-cooled drum slag cooler is made of anti-sticking and wear-resistant material, which can prevent ash and slag from sticking and accumulating, and further ensure the uniformity of ash and slag heat exchange and the stability of equipment operation.
[0012] The aforementioned system and method for cooling ash and slag and recovering waste heat from a Fushun dry distillation furnace based on air-water co-cooling achieves synergistic optimization of ash and slag cooling and waste heat recovery through an integrated architecture of "air-water co-cooled drum ash cooler + hot air purification and conditioning reuse + hot water cascade utilization". Its core equipment, the air-water co-cooled drum ash cooler, effectively improves cooling efficiency and waste heat recovery level through the integrated arrangement of air-cooled flow channels and water-cooled tube bundles, combined with dynamic load control, ultimately achieving energy saving, consumption reduction and efficient resource utilization of the system.
