Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical waste gas recovery, and specifically relates to a device for selectively utilizing the heat of waste gas and precisely controlling the temperature. Background Technology

[0003] Driven by policy, waste gas recovery and utilization devices are being widely applied across various industries. In the chemical industry, heat pipe technology can recover 30%-50% of the heat from waste gas while simultaneously achieving solvent condensation. The textile industry reduces energy consumption by 25%-40% through waste heat recovery, and cement plants reduce fuel consumption by 15%-20% using kiln tail heat exchange equipment. The demand for energy-saving retrofits continues to grow. Furthermore, there is a trend towards supply chain synergy and multi-sector penetration. Upgrades in upstream steel and ceramic materials are driving midstream equipment manufacturing, while downstream applications cover eight major sectors, including petrochemicals, power generation, and metallurgy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a device that can precisely control the recovered heat and temperature of exhaust gas.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a device for selectively utilizing the heat of exhaust gas and precisely controlling the temperature, the device being installed between the high-temperature exhaust gas and the gas-using device, including an electric three-way valve, a fan, a real-time monitoring equipment group, and an analysis and control module;

[0006] The electric three-way valve is used to divert the high-temperature exhaust gas under the control of the analysis and control module. Part of the high-temperature exhaust gas is mixed with the gas sent in by the fan and sent to the gas-using device through the first outlet, while the remaining high-temperature exhaust gas is discharged through the second outlet.

[0007] The real-time monitoring equipment group includes several temperature sensors and flow meters installed on this device and the gas-using device, which monitor the temperature and flow parameters of high-temperature gas at different locations in real time and send them to the analysis and control module.

[0008] The analysis and control module is used to analyze the flow rate of high-temperature gas that needs to be diverted into the gas-using device based on the set performance and demand parameters of the gas-using device, as well as the received real-time temperature and flow parameters, and to control the opening degree of the electric three-way valve and the fan.

[0009] Furthermore, the real-time monitoring equipment group includes a first flow meter and a first temperature sensor installed at the first outlet, a second flow meter and a second temperature sensor installed at the inlet of the gas system, and a third temperature sensor installed at the exhaust gas outlet of the gas-using device.

[0010] Furthermore, the analysis and control module controls the opening degree of the electric three-way valve using the following steps:

[0011] (1) Set the gas system parameters, including gas power of Q0 and gas temperature of T0. Then start the three-way valve, with the opening of the first outlet at 15%~25%. At the same time, start the fan and adjust the speed to 1000r / min~1500r / min. Obtain the real-time parameters of the real-time monitoring equipment group and obtain the theoretical flow rate V of the diverted gas into the gas system. 理论1 ;

[0012] (2) Adjust the opening of the three-way valve according to the real-time parameters of the real-time monitoring equipment group so that the actual flow rate of the first outlet is close to V. 理论1 At the same time, adjust the fan speed so that the temperature T2 entering the gas system is close to the set temperature T0;

[0013] (3) When shutting down, first adjust the electric three-way valve to close the first outlet, and then shut down and disconnect the power to the fan cooling system after 5 minutes.

[0014] Furthermore, the gas system parameters in step (1) also include: the gas system heat dissipation coefficient is η; the specific heat of the high-temperature exhaust gas is C; the density of the high-temperature exhaust gas is ρ; and the temperature of the high-temperature exhaust gas is T1.

[0015] Furthermore, the theoretical flow rate V in step (1) 理论1 Obtained using Equation 1:

[0016] V1= Q0 / (1-η) / (C*ρ*(T1-T3)) (1)

[0017] Where Q0 is the set power of the gas system, η is the system heat dissipation coefficient, C is the specific heat of the high-temperature exhaust gas, ρ is the density of the high-temperature exhaust gas, T1 is the temperature of the high-temperature exhaust gas, and T3 is the temperature of the high-temperature gas after passing through the gas system.

[0018] When using Formula 1, the exhaust gas from the gas system is connected to the inlet of the blower.

[0019] Furthermore, the theoretical flow rate V in step (1) 理论1 Obtained using Equation 2:

[0020] V0= Q0 / (1-η) / (C*ρ*(T0-T3)) (2)

[0021] Where Q0 is the set power of the gas system, η is the system heat dissipation coefficient, C is the specific heat of the high-temperature exhaust gas, ρ is the density of the high-temperature exhaust gas, T0 is the set temperature of the gas system, and T3 is the temperature of the high-temperature gas after passing through the gas system.

[0022] Furthermore, in step (2), the opening of the three-way valve is adjusted every 5 to 8 seconds, increasing or decreasing the valve opening in the first outlet direction by 2% to 5%, and continuously adjusted so that the instantaneous flow rate of the flow meter is close to the set flow rate V. 理论1 .

[0023] Furthermore, in step (2), the fan flow rate is adjusted by adjusting the speed every 2 to 5 seconds, increasing or decreasing by 2% to 5%, and continuously adjusting the fan air volume so that the instantaneous parameter of the temperature sensor T2 is close to the set temperature T0.

[0024] Furthermore, the analysis and control module's control of the electric three-way valve opening also includes the following steps: During operation, when the unit mass energy of the high-temperature exhaust gas increases, the three-way valve is adjusted every 5-8 seconds, gradually reducing the opening of the first outlet by 2%-5%, continuously adjusting until the actual flow rate of the first outlet approaches V. 理论1 Simultaneously adjust the fan speed every 2 to 5 seconds, increasing or decreasing it by 2% to 5%, continuously adjusting it to make the temperature T2 entering the gas system close to the set temperature T0.

[0025] Furthermore, the analysis and control module's control of the electric three-way valve opening also includes the following steps: During operation, when the unit mass energy of the high-temperature gas decreases, the three-way valve is adjusted every 5-8 seconds, gradually increasing the opening of the first outlet by 2%-5%, continuously adjusting until the actual flow rate of the first outlet approaches V. 理论1 Simultaneously adjust the fan speed every 2 to 5 seconds, increasing or decreasing it by 2% to 5%, continuously adjusting it to make the temperature T2 entering the gas system close to the set temperature T0.

[0026] Advantages of this invention: Most existing exhaust gas waste heat recovery devices only perform coarse recovery of exhaust gas, without accurately calculating the usable heat of the exhaust gas itself or precisely controlling the exhaust gas temperature; they simply perform heat recovery. This invention solves this problem by not only recovering waste heat but also precisely controlling the gas temperature and usable heat of the exhaust gas according to the needs of the gas system. Furthermore, it is simple and straightforward to operate; users only need to input the required gas temperature and power. Attached Figure Description
