Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of flue gas heat recovery, in particular to a heat recovery device for a surface cooler. Background Art
[0002] At present, the smelting industry mostly uses thermal reduction method, also known as pyrometallurgy, for some metals with general activity. For some rare or easily molten metal minerals, roasting is mostly used to mix the metal in the flue gas after roasting, and then the flue gas temperature is reduced by waste heat boiler and surface cooler, and then the ash containing the target metal is extracted by dust collection system to obtain crude metal products. In this process, the existing surface cooler is a metal pipe exposed to the air. When the high-temperature flue gas (300~800℃) from the waste heat boiler is passed into the metal pipe, the heat in the high-temperature flue gas is exchanged with the air, thereby reducing the output flue gas temperature of the surface cooler (100~200℃). Although the temperature of the flue gas can be reduced by the surface cooler, this heat is converted to the ambient air, which causes the ambient temperature to rise and the maintenance expenditure of the anti-corrosion coating of the surface cooler to increase a lot. At the same time, after the heat is directly converted to the ambient air, it is not reused, resulting in a waste of resources. Utility Model Content
