AI Technical Summary
When the existing circulating fluidized bed boilers use high alkali coal, it is easy to cause contamination and corrosion of the heated surface, and it is difficult to adapt to coal types with fluctuating alkali metal content, which affects the long-term stable operation of the boiler.
A high-temperature superheater is installed in the furnace, and the flue gas temperature is quickly reduced through the longitudinal water-cooled partition wall of the intermediate flue and the water-cooled heat exchange tube bundle, so that the gaseous alkali metal compounds quickly cool down and solidify when approaching the heated surface to avoid liquid contamination. At the same time, the steam-cooled wall and steam heat exchange tube bundle are used to further cool down to ensure that the heated surface avoids the stain-sensitive temperature range.
It effectively solves the problem of contamination and corrosion of the heating surface of the boiler. It is suitable for coal types with fluctuating alkali metal content. It does not increase the boiler manufacturing and operation costs and ensures long-term stable and efficient operation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a circulating fluidized bed boiler, in particular to a circulating fluidized bed boiler burning high-alkali coal. Background Art
[0002] The vast Gobi Desert stretching 220 kilometers from east to west in Xinjiang Zhundong Coalfield contains 390 billion tons of coal resources, which is very rich. According to my country's annual coal consumption, the Zhundong Coalfield alone is enough for the whole country to use for 100 years, which can provide a strong guarantee for my country's energy security. However, the overall content of Na2O and K2O in its coal ash is more than 6%, which is much higher than that of conventional power coal. The boiler will have serious contamination problems during the combustion process, which restricts the safe, efficient and clean use of Zhundong coal.
[0003] At present, in order to solve the contamination problem of burning high-alkali coal, CN105805736B proposes a circulating fluidized bed boiler and a method for preventing the contamination of its heating surface by alkali metal compounds. A high-temperature evaporation heating surface is arranged in the tail flue to reduce the flue gas temperature, so that a small part of the alkali metal compounds in the flue gas solidifies into a solid state. However, the contamination blocks condensed on the wall are easy to fall and clog the tail heating surface, affecting the stable operation of the boiler.
[0004] Another patent CN217004446U proposes a circulating fluidized bed boiler that prevents high-alkali coal from slagging. It uses the empty flue to reduce the high-temperature flue gas at the boiler outlet, and then cools it through the slag condensing pipe to reduce the risk of contamination on the tail heating surface. However, the flue gas enters the empty flue with uneven flow field, and the heat exchange capacity decreases. It cannot effectively reduce the flue gas temperature, and the effect of preventing contamination and corrosion is limited, affecting the stable operation of the boiler. As a result, the existing circulating fluidized bed boilers burning high-alkali coal have not completely solved the contamination and corrosion problem, affecting the long-term stable operation of the boiler. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a circulating fluidized bed boiler burning high-alkali coal in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, which can solve the problem of contamination and corrosion of the boiler heating surface, is suitable for coal types with fluctuating alkali metal content, is not affected by the source of blended fuel or modified substances, does not increase the manufacturing and operating costs of the boiler, and can operate stably and efficiently for a long time.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model discloses a circulating fluidized bed boiler burning high-alkali coal, comprising a furnace, a cyclone separator, an intermediate flue and a tail flue connected in sequence, wherein the lower end of the cyclone separator is connected to the furnace through a return device; the utility model is characterized in that a high-temperature superheater is arranged in the furnace; the intermediate flue is divided into a descending flue and an ascending flue by a longitudinal water-cooled partition wall connected to the top thereof, and water-cooled heat exchange tube bundles are arranged on both sides of the longitudinal water-cooled partition wall; a water-cooled screen is arranged in the descending flue, and a water-cooled tube bundle is arranged in the ascending flue.
[0007] In use, the high-temperature superheater is arranged in the furnace. By utilizing the scouring of a large amount of fluidized circulating materials in the furnace, corrosion caused by alkali metal contamination on the heating surface can be avoided. The flue gas first flows through the downward flue of the intermediate flue, and the temperature of the flue gas is rapidly reduced through the water-cooled heat exchange tube bundles and water-cooled screens of the longitudinal water-cooled partition wall. The temperature of the working medium flowing in the water-cooled screen is not higher than its saturation temperature. Therefore, the wall temperature of the heating surface is relatively low. Even though the flue gas temperature is high, gaseous alkali metal and alkaline earth metal compounds in the flue gas rapidly cool and solidify during the process of approaching the wall surface of the heating surface, rather than adhering to the heating surface in a liquid form, thus avoiding the contamination problem of the heating surface. Moreover, the water-cooled screen can make the flue gas flow field in the downward flue more uniform, which is beneficial to the heat exchange between the heating surface and the flue gas and better reduces the flue gas temperature. Then, the flue gas is further cooled by the water-cooled tube bundles, causing the alkali metal compounds therein to cool and solidify into a solid state, completely solving the problem of contamination and corrosion of the downstream heating surface. It is not affected by the blended fuel or the source of the modified substance, and does not increase the manufacturing and operating costs of the boiler, and can operate stably and efficiently for a long time.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the side walls of the downward flue and the upward flue are both steam-cooled casings, and steam heat exchange tube bundles are provided on both steam-cooled casings. The temperature of the flue gas can be further reduced through the steam heat exchange tube bundles. Even for coal types with fluctuating alkali metal content, the downstream heating surface can be avoided from the contamination-sensitive temperature range and prevent contamination and corrosion.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present utility model, a medium-temperature superheater and a low-temperature superheater are sequentially arranged in the upward flue behind the water-cooled tube bundles. Heat can be exchanged with the flue gas step by step to further improve the thermal efficiency.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present utility model, an economizer and an air preheater are sequentially arranged in the tail flue. Heat can be exchanged with the flue gas step by step to further improve the thermal efficiency.
[0011] In summary, the present utility model can solve the problem of contamination and corrosion of the boiler heating surface, is applicable to coal types with fluctuating alkali metal content, is not affected by the blended fuel or the source of the modified substance, and does not increase the manufacturing and operating costs of the boiler, and can operate stably and efficiently for a long time.
