Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of boiler air preheater anti-blocking, in particular to an air preheater with an anti-blocking function. Background Art

[0002] Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are two major air pollutants emitted from flue gas from coal-fired boilers, which have multiple hazards to the environment and human health. With the large-scale use of SCR (selective catalytic reduction) denitrification devices, the NOx emissions in flue gas from coal-fired boilers have been well controlled. The SCR reactor uses a vanadium-based catalyst. While removing nitrogen oxides (NOx) from flue gas, the catalyst also oxidizes part of the sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the flue gas into sulfur trioxide (SO3). Sulfur trioxide (SO3) reacts chemically with escaped ammonia (NH3) that does not participate in the denitrification reduction reaction to form ammonium bisulfate (ABS). Ammonium bisulfate (ABS) is a viscous solid in a melted state between 147 and 235°C, with the characteristics of strong viscosity, easy adsorption of fly ash, and strong hygroscopicity. When ammonium bisulfate (ABS) condenses on the heat exchange surface of the low-temperature section of the air preheater in the pipeline, the moisture and fly ash particles in the flue gas will be collected, eventually leading to dust accumulation, blockage and low-temperature corrosion of the air preheater, thus affecting the safe, stable and economical operation of the boiler unit. In the case where the flue gas flow field, NOx concentration field and denitrification agent injection entering the SCR reactor are uneven, or the flue gas temperature entering the SCR reactor is lower than the working temperature of the catalyst denitrification when the boiler is under low load, in order to meet environmental protection requirements, the relevant technology will inevitably inject excessive amino denitrification agent, resulting in an increase in the concentration of escaping ammonia at the outlet of the SCR reactor, thereby increasing the amount of ammonium bisulfate generated, and further exacerbating the dust accumulation, blockage and low-temperature corrosion of the air preheater.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] In the related technology, the concentration of ammonia escaping from the outlet of the SCR reactor is too high, which leads to an increase in the generation of ammonium bisulfate. Ammonium bisulfate (ABS) condenses on the heat exchange surface of the low-temperature section of the air preheater in the pipeline, thereby aggravating the dust accumulation, blockage and low-temperature corrosion problems of the air preheater.

[0029] First, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application discloses an air preheater with anti-blocking function, which comprises: a flue 1, an air duct 2, an air preheater body 3, an air preheater tube box partition plate 8, an air duct partition plate 9 and a baffle door 4; wherein,

[0030] An air preheater body 3, which includes an air side and a flue gas side, the air side is connected to the air duct 2, and the flue gas side is connected to the flue 1; an air preheater tube box partition plate 8, which is installed inside the air preheater body 3, and the air preheater tube box partition plate 8 divides the air side of the air preheater body 3 into a number of independent small channels; an air duct partition plate 9, which is installed in the air duct 2, and the air duct partition plate 9 divides part of the air duct 2 into a number of independent small air ducts, and each of the independent small air ducts is connected to one of the independent small channels; a baffle door 4, which is installed on the air duct 2, and the baffle door 4 is used to cut off or conduct the independent small air duct.

[0031] It is worth noting that the flue 1 is the exhaust channel at the tail of the boiler and is connected to the flue gas side of the air preheater body 3. The air duct 2 is the air supply channel of the boiler combustion system and is connected to the air side of the air preheater body 3. The air preheater body 3 is a hot air heating device for the boiler combustion system. The air preheater body 3 is divided into a high-temperature section pipe box, a medium-temperature section pipe box and a low-temperature section pipe box 31 according to the working temperature. The three are arranged in series from high to low temperature in the vertical flue at the outlet of the boiler economizer. Furthermore, the baffle door 4 can be pneumatically or electrically driven to achieve conduction to the independent small air duct, so as to stop supplying cold air to the local area of ​​the air preheater, and to increase the temperature of the local area of ​​the air preheater pipe box to above 235°C, thereby solving the problem of ammonium bisulfate blockage in the air preheater.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, the air preheater further includes: an outlet pressure sensor 6 and an inlet pressure sensor 7; wherein,

[0033] An outlet pressure sensor 6 is installed at the outlet flue of the air preheater body 3, and is used to detect the pressure parameters at the outlet flue of the air preheater body 3; an inlet pressure sensor 7 is installed at the flue gas inlet flue of the air preheater body 3, and is used to detect the pressure parameters at the inlet flue of the air preheater body 3. Optionally, 1-3 outlet pressure sensors 6 are provided at the outlet flue of the air preheater body 3, and 1-3 inlet pressure sensors 7 are provided at the flue gas inlet flue of the air preheater body 3.

[0034] It should be noted that the outlet pressure sensor 6 and the inlet pressure sensor 7 are used to detect the air preheater inlet and outlet pressure difference. The outlet pressure difference can be used to obtain the air preheater inlet and outlet flue gas resistance, and then accurately determine the switch state of the damper door 4.

[0035] Furthermore, a plurality of the air preheater tube box partition plates 8 are provided in the air preheater main body 3; a plurality of the air duct partition plates 9 are provided in the air duct 2, the number of the air duct partition plates 9 is equal to the number of the air preheater tube box partition plates 8, and each of the air duct partition plates 9 is connected to one of the air preheater tube box partition plates 8.

[0036] It should be noted that the air duct partition plate 9 corresponds to the air preheater tube box partition plate 8 one by one, and the two are closely connected.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments, a plurality of baffle doors 4 are provided in the air duct 2, a plurality of air duct partition plates 9 are provided between the baffle doors 4 and the air preheater body 3, the number of the baffle doors 4 is equal to the number of the air duct partition plates 9, and each baffle door 4 is connected to one air duct partition plate 9.

[0038] It is worth noting that during the operation of the boiler, the damper door 4 should remain open and not affect the normal operation of the air preheater. When the air preheater needs to perform the anti-blocking function, only one damper door 4 is allowed to be closed at most in the same period to cut off the independent small air duct, and the time limit shall not exceed a certain period.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, as described above, the air preheater body 3 includes a high-temperature section pipe box, a medium-temperature section pipe box and a low-temperature section pipe box 31, and a connecting flue is provided between the high-temperature section pipe box, the medium-temperature section pipe box and the low-temperature section pipe box 31, and the air preheater pipe box partition plate 8 is provided in the medium-temperature section pipe box and the low-temperature section pipe box 31. Further, a plurality of the air duct partition plates 9 extend from the outlet of the low-temperature section pipe box 31 to the inlet of the medium-temperature section pipe box, and each of the air duct partition plates 9 is connected to one of the air preheater pipe box partition plates 8 in the medium-temperature section pipe box and the low-temperature section pipe box 31.

[0040] It can be understood that in the above embodiment, the air duct partition plate 9 is connected to the air preheater tube box partition plate 8 in the medium temperature section tube box and the low temperature section tube box 31, so that the air side in the medium temperature section tube box and the low temperature section tube box 31 are divided into several independent small channels.

[0041] Furthermore, a flue partition plate is provided in the connecting flue between the medium-temperature section pipe box and the low-temperature section pipe box 31, and the flue partition plate divides the connecting flue between the medium-temperature section pipe box and the low-temperature section pipe box 31 into a plurality of small flues, and the number of the small flues is equal to the number of independent small channels in the air side of the air preheater body 3, and the positions correspond one to one.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, a thermocouple 5 is provided at the outlet flue of the air preheater body 3, and the thermocouple 5 is used to detect the flue gas temperature at the outlet flue of the air preheater body 3. Further, a plurality of the thermocouples 5 are provided at the outlet flue of the air preheater body 3, and the plurality of the thermocouples 5 are all located in the same cross section of the outlet flue of the air preheater body 3, and the plurality of the thermocouples 5 correspond one to one to the independent small channels of the air preheater body 3.

[0043] It should be noted that when the air preheater of the present application performs the anti-blocking function, the local temperature of the medium-temperature section pipe box or the low-temperature section pipe box can be raised to above 235°C by closing one of the baffle doors 4, thereby reducing the impact of the increased flue gas temperature on the desulfurization and dust removal system.

[0044] Furthermore, when the air preheater performs the anti-blocking function, when it is determined that the anti-blocking function needs to be performed according to the inlet and outlet pressure difference of the air preheater body 3, the damper door 4 can be driven to perform the preset process. The preset process includes closing the damper door 4 to block the passage for a certain period of time, and then opening the damper door 4 again. It should be noted that only one damper door 4 is allowed to be in a closed state at the same time period.

[0045] In summary, the embodiment of the present application adds several electric (pneumatic) damper doors 4 at the entrance of the air duct of the low-temperature section of the air preheater tube box, and divides the air side inside the air preheater into several independent small channels, and at the same time divides the connecting electric (pneumatic) damper door and the tubular air preheater air duct into several independent small ducts. The number of the above-mentioned electric (pneumatic) damper doors 4, the independent small channels inside the air preheater, and the independent small ducts are equal and one-to-one corresponding. During the operation of the boiler, the electric (pneumatic) damper door is closed at a fixed time or according to the resistance of the flue gas at the inlet and outlet of the air preheater. By stopping the supply of cold air to the local area of ​​the air preheater, the temperature of the local area of ​​the air preheater tube box is raised to above 235°C, so that the ammonium bisulfate condensed on the heat exchange surface of the air preheater is decomposed into ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and water (H2O) and discharged with the flue gas, thereby solving the problem of ammonium bisulfate blockage in the air preheater.
