Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular relates to a heat exchanger for a power generation system. Background Art

[0002] The power generation system and the heat exchanger are closely related in the process of energy conversion and utilization. In the process of energy conversion, a large amount of waste heat is often generated. The heat exchanger plays a key role in this process. It is responsible for recovering and reusing the waste heat to improve energy efficiency. The power generation system and the heat exchanger each have their own responsibilities in the energy field and jointly promote the efficient conversion and utilization of energy. The power generation system is responsible for the main conversion of energy, while the heat exchanger is responsible for the recovery and reuse of waste heat. The two complement each other and jointly promote the sustainable development of the energy industry; the application number is recorded in 202323238469.2 A heat exchanger device for a gas turbine power plant is disclosed, comprising: a heat exchange box, on which a multi-section heat exchange plate heat exchange structure is installed; the multi-section heat exchange plate heat exchange structure comprises: a heat exchange chamber, an air inlet pipe, an exhaust pipe, a water inlet pipe, a drain pipe, two pairs of limit rails, a plate heat exchange component and a maintenance box cover; the utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchange equipment, and the beneficial effect of this case is: it solves the problem that when the existing gas turbine power plant is generating electricity and exhausting gas, the exhaust gas contains a large amount of heat, and the heat is directly discharged into the air, causing a large amount of heat loss, and the high-temperature direct discharge is easy to affect the surrounding environment.

[0003] The above technical solution does not take into account the problem of a large amount of impurities in the flue gas before heat exchange. In this way, the untreated impurity-containing flue gas directly enters the heat exchange tube assembly, which easily leaves impurities on the tube wall. The dust accumulation on the tube wall of the heat exchange tube assembly is not only difficult to clean, but also increases the thickness of the tube wall and affects the heat exchange performance. However, although the simple traditional built-in filter method reduces the difficulty and frequency of cleaning the heat exchange tube assembly, this part of the filter is still built into the heat exchanger. After dust accumulation, the filter has the disadvantages of being difficult to clean and the dust accumulation affecting the flue gas passing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0022] Further as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that a mounting ring 9 is fixed to the outer edge of the dust filter 10 , a rotating bearing 11 is fixed to the inner edge of the dust filter 10 , and one end of the driven shaft 12 extends into the rotating bearing 11 .

[0023] Further as Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the cleaning bristles 15 are attached to the surface of the dust filter 10, and the dust filter 10 is arranged at the air inlet end of the heat exchange tube assembly 8.

[0024] This solution has the following working process: before use, high-temperature flue gas is introduced from the flue gas inlet pipe 4 and discharged from the flue gas outlet pipe 5 of the second end cover 3, while the heat exchange medium is introduced from the heat exchange medium inlet pipe 6 and discharged from the heat exchange medium outlet pipe 7. During use, the high-temperature flue gas converts heat to the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange tube assembly 8 and realizes the effect of waste heat recovery. Before the flue gas enters the first end cover 2, the high-temperature flue gas is pressurized by the booster duct fan 18 inside the installation box 16, so that the strong airflow formed by the high-temperature flue gas after pressurization hits the driven blades 13 and causes the driven rotating shaft 12 and the cleaning brush seat 14 to rotate. The cleaning brush seat 14 can provide the implementation conditions for cleaning the dust intercepted by it by brushing the cleaning bristles 15 against the dust filter 10. The dust filter 10 arranged therein intercepts impurities in the flue gas in a manner that can prevent them from entering the heat exchange tube assembly 8 in large quantities, causing cleaning difficulties and dust accumulation on the pipe wall affecting the heat exchange performance.

[0029] In summary: the cleaning brush holder 14 can provide the implementation conditions for cleaning the dust intercepted by the dust filter 10 by brushing the cleaning bristles 15 against it. The dust filter 10 arranged therein intercepts impurities in the flue gas in a manner that can prevent them from entering the heat exchange tube assembly 8 in large quantities and causing cleaning difficulties and dust accumulation on the tube wall affecting the heat exchange performance; the strong airflow formed by the high-temperature flue gas after being pressurized impacts the driven blades 13 and causes the driven shaft 12 and the cleaning brush holder 14 to rotate, and the booster duct fan 18 simultaneously provides power conditions to the driven blades 13 in the process of promoting the entry of flue gas so as to achieve the purpose of self-cleaning of the dust filter 10.
