Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of heat exchangers, and in particular to an air preheater. Background Art

[0002] During the process of burning fuel, thermal power plants need to continuously introduce air into the boiler to ensure that there is enough oxygen in the boiler for the dye to burn fully. Before the air is introduced into the boiler, it is often necessary to preheat the air to improve the combustion efficiency in the boiler.

[0003] Traditional air preheaters are usually tube-type and fin-tube-type. The flue gas is blown to the outer surface of the air duct in the air preheater, thereby transferring the heat in the flue gas to the air in the duct to achieve air preheating.

[0004] In the actual preheating process, the flue gas contains a large amount of solid particles. The flue gas is blown toward the pipe in a direction perpendicular to the pipe, which makes the side of the pipe facing the flue gas prone to dust accumulation, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency between the flue gas and the air and weakening the air preheating effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the problem of low heat exchange efficiency in the preheater, the present application provides an air preheater. The air preheater provided in the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An air preheater comprises a preheater body, on which a smoke inlet cone, a smoke outlet cone, an air inlet cone and an air outlet cone are arranged, a mounting frame is detachably mounted between the smoke inlet cone and the preheater body via a mounting mechanism, and a filter is mounted in the mounting frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the flue gas is filtered through the filter before entering the preheater body, and the solid particles in the flue gas are screened out, thereby reducing the possibility of solid particles adhering to the pipes in the preheater body, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the flue gas and the air, and enhancing the air preheating effect. After the filtering effect of the old filter is reduced, the new filter is replaced by the installation mechanism, which effectively maintains the filtering effect of the filter.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting mechanism includes a slide rail installed between the flue gas inlet cone and the preheater body, the slide rail is located below the flue gas flow, the top wall of the slide rail is provided with a slide groove along the length direction of the slide rail, the mounting frame is slidably installed in the slide groove, the sliding direction of the mounting frame is perpendicular to the direction of the flue gas flow, and two surfaces of the mounting frame distributed along the thickness direction are respectively fitted with the flue gas inlet cone and the preheater body, and a positioning piece for fixing the position of the mounting frame is provided on the slide rail.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation frame together with the filter is removed by sliding. Since the sliding disassembly and assembly method has lower requirements on the gap, the sliding disassembly and assembly method is more suitable for disassembling and assembling the installation frame between the flue gas inlet cone and the preheater body.

[0010] Optionally, the positioning member includes a fixed block, a positioning block and a spring, the fixed block protruding from the bottom wall of the sliding groove, a vertical mounting groove is opened on the bottom wall of the sliding groove at one end away from the fixed block, the spring is placed in the mounting groove, the positioning block is vertically slidably installed in the mounting groove, the bottom end of the positioning block is connected to the spring, and the side walls at both ends of the mounting frame distributed along the length direction of the slide rail are respectively fitted with the fixed block and the positioning block.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, during the sliding process of the installation frame, the bottom wall of the installation frame presses the positioning block as a whole into the installation groove. After the installation frame slides along the length direction of the slide rail until it contacts the fixed block, the top of the positioning block protrudes from the bottom wall of the slide groove under the action of the spring and fits with the side wall of the installation frame away from the fixed block, thereby completing the positioning of the installation frame on the slide rail. After sliding to the specified position, the installation frame is automatically positioned and fixed, making the installation of the installation frame more convenient.

[0012] Optionally, a long groove with a vertical length direction is opened on the side wall of the slide rail, the long groove is connected with the installation groove, and the long groove is located below the installation frame. A pressure rod is provided on the side wall of the positioning block, and one end of the pressure rod away from the positioning block passes through the long groove and is located outside the slide rail.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the installation frame is placed on the slide rail, the positioning block is pressed into the installation groove by the pressure rod, so that when the end of the installation frame close to the fixed block slides through the installation groove, the positioning block is not easy to form an obstacle to the installation frame, and when the positioning block bounces upward, the top wall of the long groove limits the pressure rod, thereby preventing the positioning block from flying out of the installation groove.

[0014] Optionally, the pressure rod is threadedly connected to the positioning block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure rod will bend after being used for a period of time due to the collision between the pressure rod and the top wall of the long groove. The pressure rod is connected to the positioning block by threads to facilitate replacement of the pressure rod.

[0016] Optionally, a connecting plate parallel to the slide rail is installed on the preheater body above the slide rail, and the side of the connecting plate away from the preheater body is connected to the flue gas inlet cone. A slide groove is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate, and the top of the installation frame slides in cooperation with the slide groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the top of the installation frame is slidably installed in the slide groove, and the connecting plate limits the height of the installation frame, making the installation frame more stable during the sliding process, and also improving the stability of the installation frame after installation.

[0018] Optionally, sealing rings for preventing smoke leakage are provided on two surfaces of the installation frame distributed along the thickness direction.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the two sealing rings are respectively in contact with the flue gas inlet cone and the surface of the preheater body, thereby reducing the possibility of flue gas leaking from the gap when passing through the filter.

[0020] Optionally, a handle is provided on an edge of the vertical frame of the installation frame.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when replacing the filter screen, the operator can hold the handle to push, pull and slide the installation frame, which effectively improves the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the installation frame.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. Before the flue gas enters the preheater body, the solid particles are screened out at the filter, and the filter is disassembled by sliding, so that the preheater body maintains a high efficiency in preheating the air;

[0024] 2. The positioning block cooperates with the spring to limit one side of the installation frame, and the spring is initially compressed by the pressure rod, which effectively improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the installation frame. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
