[0023] Example
[0024] A multi-stage comprehensive utilization system of waste heat from flue gas of electric furnace, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a settling chamber 1, a waste heat boiler 2, a flue gas heat exchanger 3, an ORC unit 4, a condensing heat exchanger 5, a water supply tank 6, a deaerator 7, a steam drum 8, and matching water pumps, valves, connecting pipes, and a control system. The settling chamber 1, the waste heat boiler 2, and the flue gas heat exchanger 3 are arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the flue gas; the flue gas of the electric furnace is first quickly cooled by the waste heat boiler 2, and then flows through the flue gas heat exchanger 3 to exchange heat with the working medium of the ORC unit 4; after absorbing heat, the working medium enters the ORC unit 4 to generate power and then enters the condensing heat exchanger 5; the water in the water supply tank 6 first flows into the condensing heat exchanger 5 to initially absorb heat, and then enters the deaerator 7 for deoxygenation, and at the same time, the excess water can return to the water supply tank 6 through the return water bypass; the working medium is condensed by the water supply in the condensing heat exchanger 5 and then returns to the flue gas heat exchanger 3 to absorb heat again for circulation; the water in the deaerator 7 is supplied to the steam drum 8 by the feed water pump, and after absorbing the waste heat of the flue gas of the electric furnace through heat exchange in the waste heat boiler 2, it is vaporized to generate steam for external use.
[0025] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0026] It is divided into three processes:
[0027] S1 Flue gas process: Flue gas enters the settling chamber 1 from the electric furnace, and then passes through the waste heat boiler 2 for rapid cooling, and is sent to the flue gas heat exchanger 3 through the pipeline. After the heat is absorbed, it enters the dust removal pipeline and is transported to the dust removal facility. The flue gas outlet temperature of the flue gas heat exchanger 3 is monitored in real time, and the temperature is adjusted through the water supply bypass regulating valve when the temperature is too high or too low.
[0028] S2 Water circulation process: At the beginning, water enters the system from the inlet of the water supply tank 6. The water medium first flows from the water supply tank 6 into the condensing heat exchanger 5 for preliminary heat absorption, and then enters the deaerator 7 for deoxidation. At the same time, the excess water can be returned to the water supply tank 6 through the bypass 2. The water in the deaerator 7 is supplied to the steam drum 8 by the feed water pump. The water in the steam drum 8 circulates in the waste heat boiler 2 for heat exchange and absorbs part of the waste heat of the electric furnace flue gas, and vaporizes to generate steam for external use.
[0029] S3 working medium circulation process: At the beginning, the working medium enters the closed circulation system from the working medium inlet to maintain a certain pressure in the system. During smelting, the working medium is heated in the flue gas heat exchanger 3, and then enters the ORC unit 4 to generate power. After exhausting steam, it enters the condensing heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange and condensation, and finally returns to the flue gas heat exchanger 3. During the smelting cycle, the system circulates back and forth, continuously generating power.
[0030] Among them, there is heat exchange between the S2 and S3 processes at the condensing heat exchanger 3.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
