[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a technical solution: a boiler flue gas waste heat recovery system, comprising a flue gas exhaust pipe 1, wherein the flue gas exhaust pipe 1 is provided with a smoke inlet 11 at one end and a smoke exhaust port 12 at the other end, and the flue gas exhaust pipe 1 comprises a primary heat exchange area 13 and a secondary heat exchange area 14, wherein the primary heat exchange area 13 is connected to the smoke exhaust port 12, and the secondary heat exchange area 14 is connected to the smoke inlet 11;

[0019] The primary heat exchange zone 13 is provided with a primary heat exchange cycle 2 , and the secondary heat exchange zone 14 is provided with a secondary heat exchange cycle 3 . The primary heat exchange cycle 2 and the secondary heat exchange cycle 3 are connected through a connecting pipe 4 .

[0020] Among them, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the boiler enters from the smoke inlet 11 of the smoke exhaust pipe 1 after filtering, and then passes through the secondary heat exchange area 14 and the primary heat exchange area 13 and is discharged from the smoke exhaust pipe 1 from the smoke outlet 12. When the high-temperature flue gas passes through the secondary heat exchange area 14, the secondary heat exchange cycle 3 is triggered, so that part of the heat in the high-temperature flue gas is absorbed by the secondary heat exchange cycle 3, so that the temperature of the high-temperature flue gas becomes lower. After the flue gas temperature becomes lower, when it passes through the primary heat exchange area 13, the heat in the flue gas is absorbed by the primary heat exchange cycle 2 again, so that the flue gas temperature is further reduced. Through the two heat exchange cycles, the heat in the flue gas can be fully absorbed, reducing the waste of heat resources.

[0021] The primary heat exchange cycle 2 includes a primary water tank 21, a primary heat exchange tube 22, a primary water inlet pipe 23, and a primary water return pipe 24. The two ends of the primary heat exchange tube 22 are connected to the primary water inlet pipe 23 and the primary water return pipe 24 respectively. The primary water inlet pipe 23 and the primary water return pipe 24 are both connected to the primary water tank 21. The primary heat exchange tube 22 is located inside the primary heat exchange area 13.

[0022] A cold water inlet pipe 25 is provided at the upper end of the primary water tank 21 , and the water in the primary water tank 21 is circulated and heat-exchanged by a primary water pump 26 .

[0023] Among them, cold water is discharged into the first-level water tank 21 from the cold water inlet pipe 25, and the first-level water pump 26 transports the cold water in the first-level water tank 21 to the inside of the first-level heat exchange pipe 22 through the first-level water inlet pipe 23, and exchanges heat with the flue gas in the first-level heat exchange area 13 through the first-level heat exchange pipe 22, and then enters the first-level water tank 21 again through the first-level return pipe 24. After multiple cycles of heat exchange, the temperature in the first-level water tank 21 can reach a threshold. At this time, if the water in the first-level water tank 21 continues to be heat exchanged through the first-level heat exchange cycle 2, the heat exchange efficiency will be significantly reduced, and the temperature of the water will increase slowly, thereby wasting a lot of flue gas heat resources and increasing time costs. At this time, the secondary heat exchange cycle 3 can be opened to further improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0024] The secondary heat exchange cycle 3 includes a secondary water tank 31, a secondary heat exchange pipe 32, a secondary water inlet pipe 33 and a secondary water return pipe 34. The two ends of the secondary heat exchange pipe 32 are connected to the secondary water inlet pipe 33 and the secondary water return pipe 34 respectively. The secondary water inlet pipe 33 and the secondary water return pipe 34 are both connected to the secondary water tank 31. The secondary heat exchange pipe 32 is located inside the secondary heat exchange area 14.

[0025] A hot water drain pipe 35 is provided at the upper end of the secondary water tank 31 , and the water in the secondary water tank 31 is circulated and heat-exchanged by a secondary water pump 36 .

[0026] Among them, the primary water tank 21 and the secondary water tank 31 are connected by a connecting pipe 4, and a one-way valve 5 is provided on the connecting pipe 4. When the one-way valve 5 is opened, the water in the primary water tank 21 enters the secondary water tank 31 through the connecting pipe 4. The secondary heat exchange cycle 3 has the same principle as the primary heat exchange cycle 2. At this time, the secondary heat exchange cycle 3 allows the water in the secondary water tank 31 to continue to exchange heat with the flue gas in the secondary heat exchange area 14, and the water temperature in the secondary water tank 31 is heated and increased. Since the water in the secondary water tank 31 already has a certain temperature, the temperature of the flue gas will not drop too much after the flue gas passes through the secondary heat exchange area 14. After passing through the primary heat exchange area 13, it can continue to exchange heat with the water in the primary water tank 21, and the heat in the flue gas can be utilized twice, which improves the efficiency of flue gas waste heat recovery and reduces the waste of flue gas waste heat. In addition, the hot water in the secondary water tank 31 can be discharged through the hot water drain pipe 35.

[0027] Liquid level gauges and thermometers are provided inside the primary water tank 21 and the secondary water tank 31 , and the changes in the water level and water temperature in the primary water tank 21 and the secondary water tank 31 can be accurately known through the liquid level gauges and thermometers.

[0028] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: cold water is discharged from the cold water inlet pipe 25 into the primary water tank 21, and the primary water pump 26 transports the cold water in the primary water tank 21 through the primary water inlet pipe 23 to the inside of the primary heat exchange pipe 22, and exchanges heat with the flue gas in the primary heat exchange area 13 through the primary heat exchange pipe 22, and then enters the primary water tank 21 again through the primary return pipe 24. After performing multiple cycles of heat exchange, the temperature in the primary water tank 21 can reach a threshold. At this time, if the water in the primary water tank 21 continues to exchange heat through the primary heat exchange cycle 2, the heat exchange efficiency will be significantly reduced, and the temperature of the water will be increased slowly, thereby wasting a lot of flue gas heat resources and increasing time costs. At this time, open One-way valve 5, the water in the primary water tank 21 enters the secondary water tank 31 through the connecting pipe 4. The secondary heat exchange cycle 3 has the same principle as the primary heat exchange cycle 2. At this time, the water in the secondary water tank 31 continues to exchange heat with the flue gas in the secondary heat exchange area 14 through the secondary heat exchange cycle 3, and the water temperature in the secondary water tank 31 is heated and increased. Since the water in the secondary water tank 31 already has a certain temperature, the temperature of the flue gas will not drop too much after the flue gas passes through the secondary heat exchange area 14. After passing through the primary heat exchange area 13, it can continue to exchange heat with the water in the primary water tank 21, and can utilize the heat in the flue gas twice, thereby improving the efficiency of flue gas waste heat recovery and reducing the waste of flue gas waste heat.

[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
