Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cooling bed waste heat recovery, and particularly relates to a cooling bed waste heat recovery device. Background Art

[0002] The waste heat from the cooling bed primarily comes from the sensible heat carried by the steel. During the natural cooling process, this heat is dissipated to the surrounding environment through radiation and air convection. The upper temperature of the pipe bed can reach over 700°C. As the bed moves, the temperature gradually decreases, cooling to 100°C below the cooling bed. Heat exchange efficiency varies across temperature zones, necessitating the rational layout of heat exchange mechanisms within a limited space to maximize heat recovery and minimize heat loss.

[0003] Patent application CN116464948A discloses a cooling bed waste heat recovery device and process based on flash evaporation technology. Several heat-absorbing covers are installed in parallel above the cooling bed. The heat-absorbing covers include a heat exchanger, thermal insulation material, a water inlet manifold, a water outlet manifold, and a hoisting structure. The heat exchanger is a coiled pipe, the inlet of the coiled pipe connected to the water inlet manifold, and the outlet of the coiled pipe connected to the water outlet manifold. The inlet and outlet manifolds are connected to the flash evaporator. The coiled pipe forms a heated plane that is horizontally covered above the cooling bed. The coiled pipe is fixed by a hoisting structure and is surrounded by thermal insulation material. In this structure, multiple heat exchangers are connected in parallel, and the heat exchange efficiency of heat exchangers in different temperature zones is different. The heat exchange tubes in the low-temperature zone lower the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tubes in the high-temperature zone, resulting in low overall heat exchange efficiency.
