Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air preheaters, in particular to an air preheater which is easy to clean. 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 separation 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 can exchange more heat in the same time. However, the increase in the contact surface with the hot air through the spiral structure will increase the contact area between the spiral air duct and the flue gas, making it easier for dust particles in the flue gas to adhere. When there are too many adhered dust particles, it will affect the heat transfer efficiency, and the spiral structure is not conducive to the later cleaning of the spiral air duct. In view of this, we propose an air preheater that is easy to clean. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide an air preheater which is easy to clean, and the air preheater which is easy to clean solves the problem that too many adhered dust particles will affect the heat transfer efficiency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] The smoke exhaust gas fan of the smoke exhaust gas fan is connected with the smoke exhaust gas fan of the smoke exhaust gas fan, and the smoke exhaust gas fan of the smoke exhaust gas fan is connected with the smoke exhaust gas fan of the smoke exhaust gas fan.
[0008] Preferably, a cold air duct is wound around the outer wall of the flue pipe, and the cold air duct is arranged in a spiral shape, and both ends of the cold air duct extend to the outside of the insulation box respectively. By winding the cold air duct around the outer wall of the flue pipe, heat can be transferred through the contact between the metal pipe walls. The spiral arrangement can increase the contact area between the metal pipe walls to improve the efficiency of heat transfer, and the metal material itself has good thermal conductivity.
[0009] Preferably, the cold air duct is fitted with the outer wall of the smoke duct, and the inner wall of the cold air duct is connected with a heat conductive strip. By arranging the heat conductive strip in the cold air duct, the contact area between the inner wall of the cold air duct and the air can be conveniently increased, so as to further improve the efficiency of heat transfer.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the air inlet of the cold air duct is connected to a blower, and the blower is started to continuously deliver air into the cold air duct.
[0011] Preferably, a collecting mechanism is provided at one end of the smoke pipe for exhaust, and the collecting mechanism includes a separation tube, which is connected to one end of the smoke pipe for exhaust. By providing a separation tube with a larger diameter at the end of the smoke pipe for exhaust, the flow velocity of the airflow will be slowed down when it enters the separation tube, so that the heavier dust particles in the smoke lose contact with the tube wall of the separation tube and automatically fall down due to their own weight to achieve separation.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the separation tube is connected to a funnel, the outer wall of the separation tube is connected to a support frame, and the inner wall of the support frame is slidably connected to a collection box. By providing a funnel, it is convenient to guide the falling dust particles so that they fall into the collection box for collection, so as to facilitate the later removal of the collection box for centralized processing.
[0013] Preferably, the position where the smoke pipe is connected to the separation tube is tangent to the inner wall of the separation tube. Since the smoke pipe and the separation tube are tangent to each other, the smoke from the smoke pipe will flow along the separation tube after entering the separation tube to form an air flow vortex, and the dust particles in the air flow will contact the inner wall of the separation tube under the action of centrifugal force, thereby losing inertia and falling automatically due to their own action.
[0014] By means of the above technical solution, the utility model provides an air preheater that is easy to clean. It has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The utility model arranges an impeller on the inner wall of the smoke pipe so that when the smoke pipe is connected to the smoke, the airflow formed will drive the impeller to rotate. When the impeller rotates, the connecting rod drives the scraper to rotate together, so as to facilitate the scraping of dust particles adhered to the inner wall of the smoke pipe by the rotation of the scraper, so as to avoid the problem that too many adhered dust particles will affect the heat transfer efficiency. The heat generated by the friction between the scraper and the inner wall of the smoke pipe when the scraper rotates and scrapes can increase the heat of the pipe wall of the smoke pipe, so as to improve the heating efficiency.
[0016] 2. The utility model sets a separation tube with a larger diameter at one end of the smoke pipe for exhaust, so that the flow rate of the airflow will be slowed down when it enters the separation tube, so that the heavier dust particles in the smoke lose contact with the wall of the separation tube and automatically fall down due to their own weight to achieve separation.

By arranging the impeller 64 on the inner wall of the flue gas pipe 2, when the flue gas pipe 2 is connected to the flue gas, the airflow formed will drive the impeller 64 to rotate, and when the impeller 64 rotates, the scraper 62 is driven to rotate together through the connecting rod 63, so as to facilitate the scraping of dust particles adhered to the inner wall of the flue gas pipe 2 by the rotation of the scraper 62, so as to avoid the problem that too many adhered dust particles will affect the heat transfer efficiency, and the scraper The heat generated by the friction with the inner wall of the flue gas pipe 2 during the rotation and scraping 62 can increase the heat of the pipe wall of the flue gas pipe 2 to improve the heating efficiency. A cold air pipe 3 is wound around the outer wall of the flue gas pipe 2, and the cold air pipe 3 is spirally arranged. Both ends of the cold air pipe 3 extend to the outside of the insulation box 1 respectively. The cold air pipe 3 is wound around the outer wall of the flue gas pipe 2, so that heat can be transferred through the contact between the metal pipe walls. The spiral arrangement can increase the contact area between the metal pipe walls to improve the efficiency of heat transfer, and the metal material itself has good thermal conductivity. The cold air pipe 3 is fitted with the outer wall of the flue gas pipe 2, and the inner wall of the cold air pipe 3 is connected to a heat conducting strip 31. By arranging the heat conducting strip 31 on the cold air pipe 3, the contact area between the inner wall of the cold air pipe 3 and the air can be conveniently increased to further improve the efficiency of heat transfer. One end of the air inlet of the cold air pipe 3 is connected to a blower 4, and air is continuously delivered to the cold air pipe 3 by starting the blower 4.
[0026] In this embodiment, when the flue gas pipe 2 is connected to the flue gas, the airflow formed will drive the impeller 64 to rotate. When the impeller 64 rotates, the connecting rod 63 drives the scraper 62 to rotate together, so as to facilitate the scraping of dust particles adhered to the inner wall of the flue gas pipe 2 by the rotation of the scraper 62, so as to avoid the problem that too many adhered dust particles will affect the heat transfer efficiency. The heat generated by the friction between the scraper 62 and the inner wall of the flue gas pipe 2 when the scraper 62 rotates and scrapes can increase the heat of the pipe wall of the flue gas pipe 2 to improve the heating efficiency. By starting the blower 4 to continuously transport air into the cold air pipe 3, by winding the cold air pipe 3 around the outer wall of the flue gas pipe 2, heat can be transferred through the contact between the metal pipe walls. The spiral arrangement can increase the contact area between the metal pipe walls to improve the efficiency of heat transfer. The metal material itself has good thermal conductivity. By setting the thermal conductive strip 31 in the cold air pipe 3, the contact area between the inner wall of the cold air pipe 3 and the air can be conveniently increased to further improve the efficiency of heat transfer.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a collecting mechanism 5 is provided at one end of the exhaust of the smoke pipe 2, and the collecting mechanism 5 includes a separation pipe 51, and the separation pipe 51 is connected to one end of the exhaust of the smoke pipe 2. By providing a separation pipe 51 with a larger diameter at one end of the exhaust of the smoke pipe 2, the flow rate of the airflow will be slowed down when it enters the separation pipe 51, so that the heavier dust particles in the smoke lose contact with the wall of the separation pipe 51 after contacting the wall of the separation pipe 51, and automatically fall down due to their own weight to achieve separation. The bottom of the separation pipe 51 is connected to a funnel 52, and the outer wall of the separation pipe 51 is connected to a support frame 53, and the inner wall of the support frame 53 is slidably connected to a collection box 54. The funnel 52 is provided to guide the falling dust particles so that they fall into the collection box 54 for collection, so as to facilitate the later extraction of the collection box 54 for centralized treatment. The position where the smoke pipe 2 is connected to the separation tube 51 is tangent to the inner wall of the separation tube 51. Since the position relationship between the smoke pipe 2 and the separation tube 51 is tangent, the smoke of the smoke pipe 2 will flow along the separation tube 51 after entering the separation tube 51, forming an air flow vortex, and the dust particles in the air flow will contact the inner wall of the separation tube 51 under the action of centrifugal force, thereby losing inertia and automatically falling due to their own action.
[0029] In this embodiment, a separation tube 51 with a larger diameter is provided at one end of the smoke pipe 2 for exhaust, so that the flow velocity will be slowed down when the airflow enters the separation tube 51, and because the position relationship between the smoke pipe 2 and the separation tube 51 is tangential, the smoke from the smoke pipe 2 will flow along after entering the separation tube 51 to form an airflow vortex, and the dust particles in the airflow will contact the inner wall of the separation tube 51 under the action of centrifugal force, thereby losing inertia and automatically falling due to their own action. The funnel 52 is provided to guide the falling dust particles so that they fall into the collection box 54 for collection, so as to facilitate the later extraction of the collection box 54 for centralized treatment.
[0030] When the utility model is an air preheater which is easy to clean, when the flue gas pipe 2 is connected to the flue gas, the airflow formed will drive the impeller 64 to rotate. When the impeller 64 rotates, the connecting rod 63 drives the scraper 62 to rotate together, so as to facilitate the scraping of dust particles adhering to the inner wall of the flue gas pipe 2 by the rotation of the scraper 62, so as to avoid the problem that too many adhering dust particles will affect the heat transfer efficiency. The heat generated by the friction between the scraper 62 and the inner wall of the flue gas pipe 2 when the scraper 62 rotates and scrapes can increase the heat of the pipe wall of the flue gas pipe 2 to improve the heating efficiency. By starting the blower 4 to continuously transport air into the cold air pipe 3, by winding the cold air pipe 3 around the outer wall of the flue gas pipe 2, heat can be transferred through the contact between the metal pipe walls. The spiral arrangement can increase the contact area between the metal pipe walls to improve the heat transfer efficiency, and the metal The metal material itself has good thermal conductivity, and by setting a heat-conducting strip 31 in the cold air duct 3, the contact area between the inner wall of the cold air duct 3 and the air can be conveniently increased, so as to further improve the efficiency of heat transfer. By setting a separation tube 51 with a larger diameter at the exhaust end of the smoke duct 2, the flow rate of the airflow will be slowed down when entering the separation tube 51, and since the position relationship between the smoke duct 2 and the separation tube 51 is tangential, the smoke of the smoke duct 2 will flow along after entering the separation tube 51 to form an air flow vortex, and the dust particles in the airflow will contact the inner wall of the separation tube 51 under the action of centrifugal force, thereby losing inertia and automatically falling due to their own action. By setting a funnel 52, the falling dust particles can be conveniently guided to fall into the collection box 54 for collection, so as to facilitate the later extraction of the collection box 54 for centralized treatment.
