Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of environmental protection and energy conservation, in particular to a economizer mechanism with ash cleaning function and a waste heat recovery system. Background Technique

[0002] In response to the national call for energy conservation and emission reduction, as a major energy consumer, the waste heat recovery transformation of coal-fired power plants is being promoted as an important task. Among them, the low-temperature economizer has become the main direction of the waste heat recovery transformation of coal-fired power plants by transferring the heat of low-temperature flue gas to the boiler condensate to save coal consumption.

[0003] At present, most of the low-temperature economizers used in power plants are finned tubes, which increase the heat transfer area compared with smooth tubes, but there are a series of problems such as ash accumulation, corrosion and wear. In recent years, the vacuum heat pipe low-temperature economizer, which is more popular in the market, solves the leakage problem compared with finned tubes, but also has problems such as large floor area and high load. The zero-leakage external wide-channel plate-type low-temperature economizer, as a new technology, has successfully solved a series of its problems and is the optimal solution for the current low-temperature economizer. However, due to the limited layout position of the economizer, it can only be horizontally arranged, and inevitably there is a problem that the ash in the flue gas deposits at the bottom of the economizer. Ordinary steam soot blowing and acoustic soot blowing can only partially solve the problem of ash accumulation on the heat exchange plates, and have little effect on the ash deposited at the bottom. After a long time, the system resistance becomes larger, the heat exchange efficiency decreases, and the system operation is affected. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an economizer mechanism with ash cleaning function and a waste heat recovery system, aiming to solve or improve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following scheme: The utility model provides an economizer mechanism with ash cleaning function, including:

[0006] A plate-type economizer arranged in the flue;

[0007] An ash cleaning device, including an air cannon, the air cannon is arranged on the flue, the air cannon is located on one side of the heat exchange module of the plate-type economizer, and the output end of the air cannon extends into the flue and faces below the middle of the heat exchange module.

[0008] Optionally, there are two air cannons, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the heat exchange module.

[0009] Optionally, the ash cleaning device further includes a plurality of soot blowers, which are respectively arranged at the inlet end and the outlet end of the plate-type economizer.

[0010] Optionally, it further includes a pressure gauge arranged on the flue.

[0011] Optionally, a deflector is provided at the output end of the air cannon.

[0012] The present utility model further provides a waste heat recovery system, comprising:

[0013] A flue;

[0014] Multiple of the economizer mechanisms with soot cleaning functions as claimed in the claims, and multiple of the plate economizers are connected in parallel and arranged in the flue;

[0016] Optionally, it further comprises a condensate main pipe, which is connected with a second pipeline, and the second pipeline is connected with the water inlets and outlets of multiple of the parallel plate economizers, so as to form a water circulation between the condensate main pipe and multiple of the plate economizers.

[0017] Optionally, a first-stage low-pressure heater and a second-stage low-pressure heater are provided on the second pipeline.

[0018] The present utility model discloses the following technical effects: By extending the output end of the air cannon into the flue and facing the part below the middle of the heat exchange module, the strong air flow of the compressed air suddenly ejected by the air cannon directly rushes into the ash accumulation area at a speed exceeding Mach 1 or higher than the speed of sound. This suddenly released expansion impact force overcomes the static friction of the material, so that the accumulated ash once again flows with the flue gas into the dust collector, realizing the cleaning of the accumulated ash at the bottom of the plate economizer, reducing the risk of equipment blockage, and reducing the risk of reduced heat exchange efficiency and increased resistance caused by the accumulated ash at the bottom.

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0026] Referring to Figures 1-3 , the present invention provides an economizer mechanism with a soot cleaning function, including:

[0027] A plate-type economizer 1, which is arranged in the flue 2;

[0028] A soot blowing device, including an air cannon 3. The air cannon 3 is arranged on the flue 2. The air cannon 3 is located on one side of the heat exchange module of the plate-type economizer 1, and the output end of the air cannon 3 extends into the flue 2 and faces the middle part below of the heat exchange module.

[0029] By extending the output end of the air cannon 3 into the flue 2 and facing the middle part below of the heat exchange module, the strong air flow of the compressed air suddenly ejected by the air cannon 3 directly rushes into the ash accumulation area at a speed exceeding Mach 1 or higher than the speed of sound. This suddenly released expansion impact force overcomes the static friction of the material, so that the accumulated ash flows into the dust collector with the flue gas again, realizing the cleaning of the accumulated ash at the bottom of the plate-type economizer 1, reducing the risk of equipment blockage, and reducing the risk of reduced heat exchange efficiency and increased resistance caused by the accumulated ash at the bottom.

[0030] As a further optimized solution, there are two air cannons 3, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the heat exchange module to improve the cleaning efficiency of the accumulated ash.

[0033] For a further optimized solution, a deflector is arranged at the output end of the air cannon 3 so that the air flow can reach the edge position of the heat exchange module.

[0034] Usage method: By observing the pressure gauge, when the pressure difference before and after the flue 2 is too large, it is judged that there may be ash accumulation. First, use the soot blower 4 to perform conventional steam soot blowing or acoustic soot blowing. If the pressure difference does not decrease significantly after running for a period of time, in combination with the heat exchange situation of the plate type economizer 1, it is judged that there is ash accumulation at the bottom of the plate type economizer 1, and then the air cannon 3 is turned on to clean the ash accumulation at the bottom of the plate type economizer 1.
