[0002] In recent years, chemical process waste heat has been widely recycled and utilized in chemical production. At present, a variety of process waste heat recovery and utilization technologies and equipment have been developed at home and abroad, such as waste heat boilers, waste heat power generation, waste heat evaporation, waste heat drying, etc. These technologies and equipment have broad application prospects in chemical production, such as in oil refining, fertilizers, chemical fibers, ceramics and other fields. However, these technologies have good effects on recovering waste heat of materials with higher temperatures. However, in the process of chemical production, the process waste heat recovery of materials with lower temperatures (generally around 100-150℃) has been highly valued in recent years. Therefore, the temperature of some materials is relatively low, and the steam produced by heat exchange carries a large amount of water, which seriously affects the normal operation of equipment pipelines. At present, circulating water is generally used to directly cool to the target temperature through a heat exchanger, resulting in this part of the process waste heat not being utilized and consuming a large amount of circulating water. If this part of low-temperature waste heat can be recovered and utilized, it can effectively reduce energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution, and save production costs.

The utility model provides a flue structure with a fixing frame and a heat collecting pipe. When in use, firstly, the first circulation pipe, the second circulation pipe and the third circulation pipe are assembled on the outer surface of the pipe, then the connecting pipe is connected, and finally the fixing frame is assembled on the outer surface of the connecting pipe, and the middle part of the fixing frame is connected to the mounting plate, and finally the connecting pipe connected to one end of the liquid inlet pipe is assembled on the output end of the water delivery pump, and the connecting pipe at one end of the discharge pipe is assembled in the hot water recovery equipment, and is processed into steam for use in the subsequent heating process, which effectively solves the problem that the pipes of the existing flue recovery structure are mostly coiled pipes, which are not easy to dismantle and inconvenient to maintain and repair, and reduces the energy consumption of steam production. This patented technology uses a flue structure with heat collecting tubes to recover the heat of sintering machine flue gas, which is not suitable for waste heat recovery in chemical production processes.
