Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flue gas waste heat recovery, and in particular to a flue gas driven heat pump deep waste heat recovery system. Background Art
[0002] The flue gas generated by the coal-fired hot water boiler passes through the desulfurization tower and is discharged into the chimney. The final exhaust temperature is around 60°C. The flue gas contains a large amount of latent heat, which accounts for about 7% of the low calorific value of the fuel. Direct discharge not only brings about energy waste, but also causes "white smoke" to come out of the chimney due to the high humidity.
[0003] The return water from the primary heating network is directly heated by boilers. During the coldest seasons, the return water temperature is generally around 50°C. After being heated by boilers, it is delivered to various heating stations. Because the temperature of the flue gas after desulfurization is comparable to the return water temperature, it cannot be used to directly heat the return water from the heating network.
[0004] In order to recover the waste heat in the flue gas after desulfurization, a heat pump unit is usually added to the boiler room to generate low-temperature cold water to recover the waste heat of the flue gas after desulfurization. Gas boilers usually use direct-fired heat pumps, and steam boilers use steam-driven absorption heat pumps. Coal-fired hot water boilers do not have the above two driving heat sources. Therefore, at present, coal-fired hot water boilers cannot use heat pumps to absorb the waste heat of the flue gas after desulfurization. Utility Model Content

[0027] A dust collector 111 is also installed on the smoke pipe 11, and the dust collector 111 is used to remove dust from the smoke.
[0028] It should be noted that the heat pump 2 uses lithium bromide solvent as the absorbent, and a spiral finned tube is provided in the shell of the generator 21. The lithium bromide solvent is placed in the spiral finned tube. The flue gas flows on the outside of the spiral finned tube and heats the spiral finned tube through the flue gas.
