Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air preheaters, in particular to an air preheater with high conversion efficiency. Background Art
[0002] The air preheater uses the flue gas in the boiler's tail flue to preheat the air before it enters the boiler to a certain temperature through the internal heat sink. It is used to improve the heat exchange performance of the boiler and reduce energy consumption. It is generally referred to as an air preheater and is mostly used in coal-fired boilers.
[0003] The prior art, such as publication number CN210601708U, provides a preheater with high heat exchange efficiency, including a preheating box, a mounting plate fixedly installed on one side of the preheating box, a blower fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate, a cold air inlet is drilled on the side of the preheating box close to the blower, the output end of the blower is fixedly connected to the cold air inlet, a spiral air duct is fixedly installed on the side of the cold air inlet away from the blower, a cold air outlet is drilled on the side of the preheating box away from the cold air inlet, one end of the spiral air duct away from the cold air inlet is fixedly connected to the cold air outlet, and a cold air exhaust pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the cold air outlet away from the spiral air duct. The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model uses a spiral air duct, so that the cold air stays in the preheater for a longer time and obtains more heat, while increasing the contact area between the cold air and the air duct, so that the cold air exchanges more heat in the same time.
[0004] In this scheme, after the flue gas is introduced into the preheating box in advance, the spiral air duct is used to make the cold air stay in the preheater for a longer time and obtain a higher heat. At the same time, the contact area between the cold air and the air duct is increased, so that the cold air exchanges more heat in the same time. However, when the spiral air duct is heated, only the cold air at the wall of the tube is heated first, and the air at the center of the tube body is heated by the added hot air, resulting in a low heating efficiency for the air at the center of the tube body. In view of this, we propose an air preheater with high conversion efficiency. Utility Model Content

Since the ceramic material has good heat storage capacity, some heat emitted by the flue pipe can be well stored.

[0010] Preferably, a gap is provided on the inner wall of the ceramic plate, and the support rod passes through a position between the ceramic plate and the inner wall of the box body in an up-and-down undulating manner.

[0015] 1. The utility model heats the metal tube wall of the smoke tube by the heat of the smoke connected to the smoke tube, and transfers the heat to the metal tube wall of the cold air tube through the metal tube wall of the smoke tube. The good thermal conductivity of the metal material itself allows the heat to be quickly exchanged, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the air inside the cold air tube, and the heat conductive strip extending from the inner wall of the cold air tube allows the air in the middle of the cold air tube and the air on the inner wall of the cold air tube to be heated at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of heat transfer.

[0024] Example 1
[0025] An air preheater with high conversion efficiency, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, it includes a box body 1, the inner wall of the box body 1 is connected to a support rod 3, the outer wall of the support rod 3 is surrounded by a cold air duct 41 and a smoke pipe 42, and the cold air duct 41 and the smoke pipe 42 fit each other and are arranged in a spiral shape, and the inner wall of the cold air duct 41 is connected to a heat conductive strip 411, and the heat of the smoke connected to the smoke pipe 42 is used to heat the metal pipe wall of the smoke pipe 42, and the heat is transferred to the metal pipe wall of the cold air duct 41 through the metal pipe wall of the smoke pipe 42. The good thermal conductivity of the metal material itself allows the heat to be quickly exchanged, so as to achieve the purpose of heating the air inside the cold air duct 41, and the heat conductive strip 411 extending through the inner wall of the cold air duct 41 allows the air at the middle of the cold air duct 41 and the air at the inner wall of the cold air duct 41 to be heated at the same time, so as to improve the efficiency of heat transfer, and the heat conductive strip 411 A heat-conducting arc 412 is connected to the top, and the cross-section of the heat-conducting arc 412 is semicircular. By setting the heat-conducting arc 412, the contact area between the heat-conducting strip 411 and the air inside the cold air duct 41 can be increased, so as to further improve the efficiency of heat transfer. The inner wall of the box body 1 is connected to a ceramic plate 2, and the ceramic plates 2 are staggered up and down. The inner wall of the box body 1 is filled with a thermal insulation sponge 11. The internal space of the box body 1 is filled by setting the ceramic plate 2. Since the ceramic material has good heat storage capacity, some heat emitted by the flue gas pipe 42 can be well stored. Since the heat transfer efficiency of the ceramic material itself is low, it will not absorb a large amount of heat when the cold air duct 41 is heated, resulting in heat dispersion problems. A gap 21 is opened on the inner wall of the ceramic plate 2, and the support rod 3 passes through the position between the ceramic plate 2 and the inner wall of the box body 1 in an up and down shape.
[0026] In this embodiment, the heat of the flue gas connected to the flue pipe 42 is used to heat the metal tube wall of the flue pipe 42, and the heat is transferred to the metal tube wall of the cold air pipe 41 through the metal tube wall of the flue pipe 42. The good thermal conductivity of the metal material itself allows heat to be exchanged quickly, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the air inside the cold air pipe 41, and the heat-conducting strip 411 extending through the inner wall of the cold air pipe 41 allows the air in the middle of the cold air pipe 41 and the air on the inner wall of the cold air pipe 41 to be heated at the same time to improve the efficiency of heat transfer. By setting the heat-conducting arc 412, the contact area between the heat-conducting strip 411 and the air inside the cold air pipe 41 can be increased, thereby further improving the efficiency of heat transfer. By setting the ceramic plate 2 to fill the internal space of the box body 1, due to the good heat storage capacity of the ceramic material, some of the heat emitted from the flue pipe 42 can be well stored, and due to the low heat transfer efficiency of the ceramic material itself, it will not absorb a large amount of heat when heating the cold air pipe 41, resulting in heat dispersion problems.

By starting the blower 7, cold air is continuously blown in for heating, and then discharged from the preheating gas connector 9 after heating. One end of the smoke pipe 42 is connected to a smoke inlet connector 5, and the other end of the smoke pipe 42 is connected to a smoke outlet connector 51. The smoke is connected through the smoke inlet connector 5 and discharged from the smoke outlet connector 51 through the smoke pipe 42. The smoke pipe 42 is connected to a solenoid valve 6 at the position of the smoke inlet connector 5, and the flow rate of the smoke is controlled by the solenoid valve 6. The cold air duct 41 is connected to a thermometer 8 at the position of the preheating gas connector 9, and the final temperature of the preheated gas is detected by the thermometer 8.
[0029] In this embodiment, the blower 7 is started to continuously blow in cold air for heating, which is then discharged from the preheating gas connector 9. The final temperature of the preheating gas is detected and observed by the thermometer 8. The flue gas is connected through the flue gas inlet connector 5 and discharged from the flue gas outlet connector 51 through the flue gas pipe 42. The flow rate of the flue gas is controlled by the solenoid valve 6.
[0030] The utility model is an air preheater with high conversion efficiency. When in use, the blower 7 is started to continuously blow in cold air for heating, and the cold air is discharged from the preheating gas joint 9 after heating. The final temperature of the preheating gas is detected and observed by the thermometer 8. The flue gas is connected through the flue gas inlet joint 5 and discharged from the flue gas outlet joint 51 through the flue gas pipe 42. The flow rate of the flue gas is controlled by the solenoid valve 6. The heat of the flue gas connected through the flue gas pipe 42 is used to heat the metal pipe wall of the flue gas pipe 42. The heat is transferred to the metal pipe wall of the cold air pipe 41 through the metal pipe wall of the flue gas pipe 42. The good thermal conductivity of the metal material itself allows the heat to be quickly exchanged, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the air inside the cold air pipe 41. For the purpose of heat, the heat-conducting strip 411 extending through the inner wall of the cold air duct 41 allows the air in the middle of the cold air duct 41 and the air on the inner wall of the cold air duct 41 to be heated at the same time to improve the efficiency of heat transfer. The heat-conducting arc 412 can be provided to increase the contact area between the heat-conducting strip 411 and the air inside the cold air duct 41, thereby further improving the efficiency of heat transfer. The internal space of the box body 1 is filled with a ceramic plate 2. Since the ceramic material has good heat storage capacity, it can store some of the heat emitted by the smoke pipe 42 well. Moreover, since the ceramic material itself has low heat transfer efficiency, it will not absorb a large amount of heat when the cold air duct 41 is heated, resulting in a problem of heat dispersion.
