Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grain drying, in particular to a heat exchange hot air furnace. Background Art

[0002] Hot air furnaces are widely used for drying grains. They feature a simple structure, clean hot air, and low drying costs. They consist of various components, including a feed mechanism, combustion chamber, heat exchange chamber, and control system. These components are driven by motors, which drive the mechanical structure to achieve continuous combustion. As hot air furnaces mature, their cost has become a key concern. High heat exchange efficiency can significantly reduce fuel costs.

[0003] The heat exchange efficiency of a hot blast stove, as the name implies, is the proportion of effectively utilized heat energy to the total heat energy output value of the hot blast stove. The higher the proportion, the higher the heat exchange efficiency of the hot blast stove, the higher the heat energy utilization rate, and the lower the fuel cost.

[0004] Hot blast furnaces generate heat from fuel combustion. Part of this heat is drawn out by the induced draft fan (IDF) and then exhausted. Part is exchanged through the heat exchange system and utilized by the equipment. Still another portion is naturally dissipated to the outside air through heat conduction and radiation from the mechanical structure. Only the heat energy exchanged through the heat exchange system is truly desirable. However, the amount of heat energy generated by this exchange is significantly dependent on the furnace's combustion system, heat exchange system, and control method. Different structural designs and parameter ratios lead to significant variations in performance. Currently, most hot blast furnaces utilize a single grate for oxygen-based combustion and large front-to-back heat exchange channels. This simplistic hot air control method results in large temperature fluctuations and instability. With a single grate for oxygen-based combustion, fuel combustion is concentrated in the grate area. Excessive or insufficient fuel intake can lead to incomplete combustion. This incompletely burned fuel granulates and is then discharged through the IDF, resulting in incomplete combustion and significant resource waste. Large front-to-back heat exchange channels offer a large heat exchange area but low utilization, resulting in high structural costs. The published patent 2019105390919 discloses a high-frequency electromagnetic induction hot air furnace for grain drying, comprising a hot air furnace housing, a fan and a high-frequency electromagnetic induction furnace; a hot air outlet is provided on the surface of the hot air furnace housing; the fan is installed in the hot air furnace housing, and the air outlet end is installed in conjunction with the high-frequency electromagnetic induction furnace; the high-frequency electromagnetic induction furnace comprises, from the inside to the outside, an inner tube furnace body, an insulating tube, an insulating cloth layer, and an electromagnetic coil. The present invention has a simple and novel structure. Through the provision of the insulating tube and the inner tube furnace body, heat can be dissipated both inside and outside, effectively improving the heat conduction efficiency. In combination with the fan input, it can meet the temperature, air volume, and air pressure requirements for grain drying, significantly improving the drying quality of the grain. However, the above structure still has the problem of a large heat exchange area but low utilization rate, resulting in high structural cost. Therefore, it is particularly important to solve the problem of the complex structure and low fuel combustion utilization rate of ordinary air exchangers. Utility Model Content

A dust cleaning chamber 9 is provided at the lower end of the furnace 21. The air guide chamber 4 is divided into an upper air guide chamber 41 and a lower air guide chamber 42. The air guide pipe 7 connects the upper air guide chamber 41, the lower air guide chamber 42 and the furnace 21 of the combustion chamber 2. The outer periphery of the furnace 21 is provided with a heat exchange tube 10. The heat exchange tube 10 is evenly distributed in a circular shape with the furnace 21 as the center, and is staggered and divided into different heat exchange chambers by the upper air guide chamber 41 and the lower air guide chamber 42.

After the fuel is burned in the combustion chamber 2, it enters the air guide chamber 4 and the heat exchange chamber 3 through the air guide duct 7 for heat exchange under the action of the exhaust fan 23.

[0022] See also Figure 1 The heat exchange chamber 3 is located around the combustion chamber 2 and is circular in shape. It is composed of an upper air guide chamber 41, a lower air guide chamber 42 and a heat exchange tube 10, etc. It is used for cold and hot air exchange for use by the required equipment.

[0023] See also Figure 1 The left side of the figure shows the fuel feeding system 1, which consists of a bag rack, a hopper, a feeding motor, a feeding fan and other parts. The fuel naturally enters the feeding pipe along the hopper due to gravity, and enters the combustion chamber 2 for combustion under the pressure of the feeding fan.

[0024] See also Figure 1 The cold air enters the heat exchange chamber 3 from the top of the combustion chamber 2 through the blower 5, and after fully exchanging heat with high-temperature components such as the furnace 21 and the heat exchange tube 10, it is discharged from the hot air outlet 8 at the bottom right of the figure. During the whole process, the hot air exchanges heat in the high-temperature area around the combustion chamber 2, which can not only quickly cool the furnace 21 and increase the service life of the furnace 21, but also greatly improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 The figure shows that the ash cleaning chamber 9 is located at the bottom of the furnace 21 and the heat exchange tube 10, inside the lower air duct 42, which is used to clean the dust and impurities generated by the hot air during the heat exchange process. The combustion chamber 2 is located in the middle of the main body and includes parts such as the grate, furnace 21, furnace door 22, air duct 7 and smoke exhaust fan 23. Among them, the furnace door 22, air duct 7 and furnace 21 are all made of stainless steel plates, which have strong antioxidant capabilities and high thermal conductivity. The furnace 21 is connected to the upper air duct 41 and the lower air duct 42, and is circular in shape. The gas enters the furnace 21 from the bottom grate and the oxygen supply fan, providing sufficient oxygen for the fuel to fully burn. Under the action of the smoke exhaust fan 23, the burned gas enters the upper air duct 41 through the air duct 7, and then passes through the heat exchange tube 10 to penetrate the upper and lower air ducts back and forth, and is finally discharged to the outside by the smoke exhaust fan 23.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the heat exchange tubes 10 are evenly distributed around the furnace 21 in a circular state, and are divided into different heat exchange chambers 3 by the upper air guide chamber 41 and the lower air guide chamber 42. The hot air temperature of the heat exchange chamber 3 is distributed from high to low.

[0027] refer to Figure 2An air inlet is provided at the top of the furnace 21, and a blower 5 is installed at the top of the air inlet. Under the action of the blower 5, the external gas enters the heat exchange chamber 3 and exchanges heat with the heat exchange tube 10 and the outer wall of the furnace 21. The hot air after heat exchange is discharged from the hot air outlet 8 and enters the drying equipment for use.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 The feeding device 1 shown is located on one side of the furnace 21 and provides the necessary fuel for combustion. The system includes a feeding motor, a feeding fan, an oxygen supply fan, an auger, a hopper, and a ladle rack. The feeding motor and oxygen supply fan are both adjustable and work with an intelligent control system to achieve precise temperature control.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 The control system 2, shown below the feeding device 1, primarily controls the operation of the various motors and fans. The feeding motor and exhaust fan feature variable speeds. The PLC temperature control system adaptively controls the start and stop of related electrical appliances, as well as parameter settings, in different operating environments, achieving precise temperature control.

[0030] See also Figure 3 The diagram shows the combustion chamber structure, which consists of a grate, a furnace 21, a furnace door 22, a secondary oxygen supply device, an air duct 7, and a smoke exhaust fan 23. The smoke exhaust fan 23 allows some gas to enter the furnace 21 through the gap between the bottom grate and the combustion basin, where it is used to burn the fuel in the combustion basin.

[0031] While feeding the fuel, the feed fan also provides some oxygen above the combustion basin to aid the combustion of the fuel. The third part of the gas enters the furnace 21 through the waist-positioned oxygen supply device. The function of this device is to provide combustion-supporting oxygen in the upper middle part of the furnace 21, achieving a secondary combustion function for some incompletely burned fuel or flue gas.

[0032] See also Figure 4 The figure shows a top view of the hot blast furnace. The hot gas after combustion enters the first heat exchange chamber 31 through the hot air inlet shown. The heat exchange chamber 3 comprises a top and bottom air duct A, along with heat exchange pipes in these areas. The hot gas is transferred via the heat exchange pipes to the bottom air duct A, which connects to the second heat exchange chamber 32. The hot gas then flows through the heat exchange pipes of the second heat exchange chamber 32 to the top area of the second heat exchange chamber 32. Similarly, the hot gas sequentially passes through the third and fourth heat exchange chambers 33 and 34, ultimately being discharged outdoors by the exhaust fan at the top of the fourth heat exchange chamber 34.

[0033] See also Figure 4 The heat exchange tubes are arranged in a circular shape around the furnace and are arranged tightly. Under the premise of keeping the penetration cross-sectional area unchanged, the uniformity of heat exchange of each heat exchange tube is guaranteed, the heat exchange area of the heat exchange tube is fully utilized, and the heat exchange efficiency is greatly improved.
