Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an open absorption heat pump flue gas waste heat recovery technology based on water vapor heat-carrying cycle, belonging to the technical field of boiler flue gas waste heat heating. Background Technique
[0002] A large amount of high-temperature flue gas is discharged during the heat production process of a boiler. Recovering the waste heat of the flue gas can not only reduce the heat loss of the boiler, but also reduce the fuel consumption and pollutant emissions such as greenhouse gases, and improve the thermal efficiency of the boiler. Therefore, the development of flue gas waste heat recovery technology is an important way to help achieve the "dual carbon" strategic goal. The existing flue gas waste heat recovery systems mainly include three categories: (1) The first category is to use a shell-and-tube heat exchanger to recover the waste heat of the flue gas, that is, to install a heat exchanger with a tubular structure or the like on the flue at the boiler outlet to recover the waste heat of the flue gas and heat the boiler feed water or heating return water. This method has a simple system, but it cannot achieve deep heat recovery. (2) The second category is to use the absorption heat pump flue gas deep recovery technology. The absorption heat pump is used to recover the waste heat of the flue gas and heat the network return water, etc. The flue gas temperature can be greatly reduced to about 30°C, and the waste heat recovery amount is equivalent to 8% - 7% of the boiler heat output. Therefore, deep heat recovery can be achieved. However, the absorption heat pump needs to be driven by high-level heat sources such as steam, and a large amount of acidic condensate will be generated in the flue gas, so an anti-corrosion heat exchanger needs to be used, and the equipment investment is relatively high. (3) The third category is the total heat exchange recovery technology based on air-flue gas. By humidifying the air, the dew point temperature of the flue gas is increased, and the condensation heat of the flue gas is recovered in the tail flue. This method has a simple system structure, does not require an additional driving heat source, and has a low investment cost. At present, it has been widely promoted and applied and has a good application prospect. However, it usually uses a flue gas waste heat spray tower to extract heat from the flue gas. The size of the flue gas waste heat spray tower is very large, and a certain resistance will be increased on the flue gas side. If the outlet pressure margin of the original induced draft fan is insufficient, the fan needs to be replaced or a booster induced draft fan needs to be set up. The above situations will all cause an increase in the cost, and sometimes the on-site conditions are not suitable for implementation.
[0003] In recent years, in the second type of flue gas waste heat recovery method, an open absorption heat pump method based on solution spraying for heat extraction has emerged. In this method, a concentrated solution is sprayed on high-humidity flue gas in the absorption tower to absorb water vapor and a large amount of latent heat of vaporization. The flue gas becomes low-humidity medium-temperature flue gas and is discharged. After the concentrated solution becomes a dilute solution, it is sent to the generator, where secondary steam is evaporated by the driving steam. After the solution concentration is increased, it continues to return to the absorption tower for circulation. The return water of the heat network is first sent to the absorption tower for preheating and then sent out after heat exchange with the secondary steam of the generator. Its advantages are as follows: The concentrated solution can easily absorb a large amount of flue gas condensate, and flue gas pollutants are further intercepted, achieving near-zero emissions; the quality of the condensate is good, which is convenient for recycling. However, the disadvantages are also very obvious: The flue gas temperature can usually only be reduced to 40-45°C, recovering about half of the flue gas waste heat, which does not belong to deep heat recovery and can only be regarded as a half-finished project. A large amount of flue gas waste heat still escapes from the flue gas in vain, and secondary transformation is still needed in the future to achieve deep heat recovery. The cost calculated for the unit waste heat recovery amount is relatively high, and the investment payback period is long. In addition, this technical method is still essentially similar to the heat pump method, except that the heat extraction device is different, but it still requires a large amount of driving steam, and the energy efficiency ratio is still low, resulting in high operating costs, deteriorating the thermal power flexibility adjustment problem of the power plant, and even sometimes seriously affecting the technical and economic benefits of the power plant. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The object and task of the present invention are to optimize and upgrade the conventional open absorption heat pump method by using a water vapor heat-carrying flue gas waste heat recovery method in view of the respective inherent technical limitations of the above-mentioned various flue gas waste heat recovery systems and their impacts on the economy of the power plant. A secondary absorption heat exchange module is arranged downstream of the flue gas in the absorption tower to recover the waste heat in the low-temperature section of the flue gas and send it to the total heat air preheater to heat and humidify the air entering the boiler, so as to achieve deep flue gas waste heat recovery.
