Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waste gas treatment, in particular to an energy-saving and environment-friendly RTO heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] Regenerative Thermal Oxidation (RTO) systems utilize ceramic thermal storage elements to store the heat generated during the decomposition of organic waste gas. This stored heat is then used to preheat and decompose untreated organic waste gas, achieving high thermal efficiency. The oxidation temperature typically ranges from 800°C to 850°C, with a maximum of 1100°C. Regenerative Thermal Oxidation (RTO) systems are primarily used in applications where the organic waste gas concentration is low but the volume is high. They are also particularly well-suited for applications where the organic waste gas contains corrosive or catalyst-toxic substances, or when certain odors require higher temperatures for oxidation.

[0003] An existing RTO system uses an induced draft fan to feed organic waste gas into a regenerator for heating, absorbing the heat stored in the regenerator. The waste gas then enters the incineration chamber for further combustion, reaching a set temperature (760°C). During this process, the organic components are completely decomposed into CO2 and H2O. Because the waste gas absorbs the heat recovered from the previous cycle within the regenerator, fuel consumption is reduced, resulting in excellent energy-saving and environmental benefits.

[0004] The above-mentioned existing technical solutions have the following defects: the heat storage body is generally a ceramic material with a large specific heat capacity. The RTO heat storage ceramic body repeatedly absorbs and releases heat. The temperature of the traditional single incineration chamber is high, and the heat storage body is heated quickly. The rapid temperature change can easily cause damage to the heat storage ceramic body. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an energy-saving and environment-friendly RTO heat exchanger.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The invention comprises a heat-insulating shell, wherein a heating chamber, a preheating incineration chamber and a temperature-raising incineration chamber are fixedly installed inside the heat-insulating shell, and the heating chamber, the preheating incineration chamber and the temperature-raising incineration chamber are prism-shaped and fit together, and a rotating rod is rotatably arranged at the connection of the heating chamber, the preheating incineration chamber and the temperature-raising incineration chamber, and a driving motor for driving the rotating rod is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the heat-insulating shell, and a plurality of heat-storage ceramic bodies respectively embedded in the heating chamber, the preheating incineration chamber and the temperature-raising incineration chamber are fixed on the outer edge of the rotating rod. A conversion opening for passing heat storage ceramics is provided through the chamber, and the heating chamber, preheating incineration chamber and heating incineration chamber are equipped with sealing devices for sealing the conversion openings. The outer wall of the heating chamber is connected to a gas input pipe passing through the heat-insulating shell and a gas through pipe connected to the preheating incineration chamber and the heat-incineration chamber respectively. The outer walls of the preheating incineration chamber and the heat-incineration chamber are respectively connected to a gas output pipe passing through the heat-insulating shell. The preheating incineration chamber and the heat-incineration chamber are provided with an ignition device. The gas input pipe, gas through pipe and gas output pipe are installed with solenoid valves.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the organic waste gas enters the heating chamber from the gas input pipe, absorbs heat after passing through the heat storage ceramic body, and after the temperature of the organic waste gas increases, it enters the preheating incineration chamber and the heating incineration chamber through the gas pipe respectively. Under the control of the solenoid valve, the scale of the organic waste gas in the preheating incineration chamber is smaller than that of the heating incineration chamber. During combustion, the preheating incineration chamber can slowly and evenly heat the internal heat storage ceramic body, and the heating incineration chamber can heat the heat storage ceramic body at a high temperature to make its temperature reach a preset 760°C. Then, the gas input is closed to start the sealing device to release the internal seal, and the driving motor drives The heat storage ceramic body rotates and changes its position, the heat storage ceramic body in the heating chamber enters the preheating incineration chamber, the heat storage ceramic body in the preheating incineration chamber enters the heating incineration chamber, and the heat storage ceramic body in the heating incineration chamber enters the heating chamber. At this time, the sealing device is started to reseal the three chambers, and the heating and incineration treatment process of the organic waste gas is carried out reciprocatingly. Since the heat storage ceramic body has been evenly preheated in the preheating incineration chamber before entering the heating incineration chamber, the heat storage ceramic body can be heated to the preset temperature at a high speed and stably, avoiding the situation where the heat storage ceramic body is damaged by instantaneous thermal expansion and contraction caused by rapid heating from a low temperature state.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat storage ceramic body includes several plates that fit the shape of the inner walls of the heating chamber, preheating incineration chamber and heating incineration chamber, and the plates are penetrated by several honeycomb-shaped gas holes. The several plates are parallel to each other and fixed at intervals on the outer edge of the rotating rod, and the gas holes of different plates are staggered with each other.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the honeycomb-shaped gas through holes not only ensure the smooth passage of gas but also have a larger contact area to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the heat storage ceramic body and the organic waste gas. At the same time, the gas through holes are staggered to each other so that the organic waste gas can fully contact with all the plates, and can also disrupt the air duct to prevent the organic waste gas from passing through all the plates too quickly, resulting in poor heating effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing device includes a sealing plate that cuts off the conversion opening, and the sealing plate is respectively slidably arranged on the side walls of the heating chamber, the preheating incineration chamber and the temperature rising incineration chamber in the vertical direction. A connecting cover plate is fixedly arranged at the end of the sealing plate, and a linkage column that passes through the insulation shell is vertically arranged at the center of gravity of the connecting cover plate. The different linkage columns are connected to each other with a top plate, and a telescopic motor supporting the top plate is fixedly arranged on the top wall of the insulation shell, and the telescopic shaft of the telescopic motor is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the top plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the conversion opening needs to be opened, the telescopic shaft of the telescopic motor extends, driving the top plate, linkage column, connecting cover plate and sealing plate to rise synchronously. After rising to the specified position, the conversion opening can be fully opened to facilitate the position conversion of the heat storage ceramic body. Conversely, the telescopic shaft extends and contracts to drive the sealing plate to close the conversion opening.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving motor, telescopic motor, solenoid valve, ignition device and sealing device are externally connected to a control system.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the equipment of the external control system can intelligently execute the input commands when it is running as a whole, so that the overall automation level of the equipment is improved and production is facilitated.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. The preheating incineration chamber, rotating rod, conversion opening and sealing device are used to enable the heat storage ceramic body to be heated to the preset temperature at a high speed and stably, avoiding damage caused by instantaneous thermal expansion and contraction caused by rapid heating from low temperature to high temperature;

[0017] 2. The plate and gas through-holes are used to interrupt the air duct so that the organic waste gas can fully contact with the heat storage ceramic body, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency;

[0018] 3. A sealing plate and a telescopic motor are used to control the sealing plate to automatically close or open the conversion opening according to actual needs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 , this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] The heat preservation shell 1 comprises a heat preservation shell 1, wherein a heating chamber 2, a preheating incineration chamber 3 and a temperature rising incineration chamber 4 are fixedly installed inside the heat preservation shell 1, and the heating chamber 2, the preheating incineration chamber 3 and the temperature rising incineration chamber 4 are prism-shaped and fit together. A rotating rod 5 is provided at the connection of the heating chamber 2, the preheating incineration chamber 3 and the temperature rising incineration chamber 4. A driving motor 51 for driving the rotating rod 5 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the heat preservation shell 1. A plurality of heat storage ceramic bodies 6 respectively embedded in the heating chamber 2, the preheating incineration chamber 3 and the temperature rising incineration chamber 4 are fixed on the outer edge of the rotating rod 5. The wall is penetrated by a conversion opening 61 for passing the heat storage ceramic. The heating chamber 2, the preheating incineration chamber 3 and the heating incineration chamber 4 are equipped with a sealing device 7 for sealing the conversion opening 61. The outer wall of the heating chamber 2 is connected to a gas input pipe 8 passing through the heat-insulating shell 1 and a gas through pipe 81 respectively connected to the preheating incineration chamber 3 and the heating incineration chamber 4. The outer walls of the preheating incineration chamber 3 and the heating incineration chamber 4 are respectively connected to a gas output pipe 82 passing through the heat-insulating shell 1. The preheating incineration chamber 3 and the heating incineration chamber 4 are provided with an ignition device. The gas input pipe 8, the gas through pipe 81 and the gas output pipe 82 are installed. A solenoid valve is provided. When in use, the organic waste gas enters the heating chamber 2 from the gas input pipe 8, absorbs heat after passing through the heat storage ceramic body 6, and the temperature of the organic waste gas increases and enters the preheating incineration chamber 3 and the heating incineration chamber 4 through the gas pipe 81 respectively. Under the control of the solenoid valve, the scale of the organic waste gas in the preheating incineration chamber 3 is smaller than that in the heating incineration chamber 4. During combustion, the preheating incineration chamber 3 can slowly and evenly heat the internal heat storage ceramic body 6, and the heating incineration chamber 4 can heat the heat storage ceramic body 6 at a high temperature to make its temperature reach a preset 760°C. Then the gas input is closed to start the sealing device 7 to release the internal seal, and the drive motor 51 drives the heat storage ceramic body 6 to burn. The ceramic body 6 rotates and changes its position, and the heat storage ceramic body 6 in the heating chamber 2 enters the preheating incineration chamber 3, the heat storage ceramic body 6 in the preheating incineration chamber 3 enters the heating incineration chamber 4, and the heat storage ceramic body 6 in the heating incineration chamber 4 enters the heating chamber 2. At this time, the sealing device 7 is started to reseal the three chambers, and the heating and incineration treatment process of the organic waste gas is carried out reciprocatingly. Since the heat storage ceramic body 6 has been uniformly preheated in the preheating incineration chamber 3 before entering the heating incineration chamber 4, the heat storage ceramic body 6 can be heated to the preset temperature at a high speed and stably, avoiding the situation where the heat storage ceramic body 6 is damaged by instantaneous thermal expansion and contraction caused by rapid heating from a low temperature state.

[0029] The heat storage ceramic body 6 includes several plates 62 that fit the shape of the inner walls of the heating chamber 2, the preheating incineration chamber 3 and the heating incineration chamber 4. The plates 62 are penetrated by several honeycomb-shaped gas through holes 63. The several plates 62 are fixedly arranged at intervals and parallel to each other on the outer edge of the rotating rod 5. The gas through holes 63 of different plates 62 are staggered with each other. The honeycomb-shaped gas through holes 63 ensure the smooth passage of gas while having a large contact area to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the heat storage ceramic body 6 and the organic waste gas. At the same time, the gas through holes 63 are staggered with each other to make the organic waste gas fully contact with all the plates 62, and can also disrupt the air duct to prevent the organic waste gas from passing through all the plates 62 too quickly, resulting in poor heating effect.

The different linkage columns 73 are connected to each other and are provided with a top plate 74. The top wall of the heat-insulating shell 1 is fixedly provided with a telescopic motor 75 that supports the top plate 74. The telescopic shaft of the telescopic motor 75 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the top plate 74. When the conversion opening 61 needs to be opened, the telescopic shaft of the telescopic motor 75 extends, driving the top plate 74, the linkage column 73, the connecting cover plate 72 and the sealing plate 71 to rise synchronously. After rising to the specified position, the conversion opening 61 can be fully opened, which is convenient for the position conversion of the heat storage ceramic body 6. Conversely, the extension and contraction of the telescopic shaft drives the sealing plate 71 to close the conversion opening 61.

[0031] The driving motor 51, telescopic motor 75, solenoid valve, ignition device and sealing device 7 are externally connected to a control system.
