Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an air preheater, in particular to a horizontal air preheater for a circulating fluidized bed boiler burning pure Zhundong coal. Background Art

[0002] The continuous increase in coal consumption has placed tremendous pressure on the environment. To address the increasing shortage of conventional coal resources, the development of circulating fluidized-bed boiler technology for pure combustion of Zhundong coal has become an inevitable trend. The Zhundong Coalfield, located in the Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone in Xinjiang, boasts my country's largest fully integrated coalfield, with projected reserves of substantial magnitude and the potential for continued mining for many years. This resource advantage is of great significance to promoting regional economic development. The principle of burning Zhundong coal is that Zhundong coal and air are mixed and burned in a fluidized state within the furnace, exchanging heat with the heating surfaces. The flue gas within the furnace (carrying a large amount of unburned carbon particles) further burns and releases heat in the upper furnace. The flue gas, after combustion in the furnace, enters a cyclone separator at the furnace outlet. The flue gas, carrying a large amount of material, enters an adiabatic cyclone separator, where it is separated. The separated flue gas flows through a diversion duct and into an air preheater, thereby heating the air.

[0003] Air preheaters are commonly used to improve boiler heat exchange efficiency and are widely used in circulating fluidized bed boilers, waste heat boilers, dust collectors, and other fields. For circulating fluidized bed boilers, air preheaters are essential and important structures, and their heat exchange efficiency has a significant impact on boiler performance. Conventional horizontal air preheater tubes often use a sparse arrangement of large tubes, and the connecting flues between tube boxes often use expansion joints and bent plates. This is prone to tube corrosion and dust accumulation, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency, affecting boiler efficiency and increasing fuel consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems that the existing horizontal air preheater tubes are often arranged sparsely with large tubes, the connecting flues between the tube boxes are often in the form of expansion joints plus bent plates, the tubes are corroded and easily accumulate dust, the heat exchange efficiency is low, the boiler efficiency is affected, and the fuel consumption is increased, the utility model proposes a horizontal air preheater for a circulating fluidized bed boiler that purely burns Zhundong coal.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is:

[0006] A horizontal air preheater for a circulating fluidized bed boiler that purely burns Zhundong coal includes multiple pipe boxes and multiple connecting boxes. The multiple pipe boxes are arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the height direction. Heat exchange tube groups are provided in the pipe boxes. The four sides of the lower end of the pipe boxes are supported on support beams. The air outlet end of the heat exchange tube group in the lower pipe box is connected to the air inlet end of the heat exchange tube group in the upper pipe box through a connecting box. An inspection door is provided on the connecting box, and the inspection door is connected to the connecting box through a connecting assembly and multiple locking assemblies.

[0007] Furthermore, the pipe box is fixedly connected via a fixing frame, and the support beam is fixedly connected to the fixing frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the air inlet ends and air outlet ends of two adjacent heat exchange tube groups are staggered.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat exchange tubes in the first to third rows from top to bottom in each heat exchange tube group and the first to third rows from bottom to top in the lowest heat exchange tube group are all thick-walled tubes.

[0010] Furthermore, the heat exchange tubes of the lowest-level heat exchange tube group are Cow-Ten steel heat exchange tubes.

[0011] Furthermore, the inspection door includes a door frame and a furnace door cover, an inspection port is opened on the box body of the connecting box, the door frame is fixed to the outer end of the inspection port, the furnace door cover is arranged at the outer end of the door frame, the connecting assembly is arranged on one side of the furnace door cover, the furnace door cover is rotatably connected to the door frame through the connecting assembly, and multiple locking assemblies are evenly distributed between the furnace door cover and the door frame along the circumferential direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a fixed ear seat, a pin shaft and a connecting ear seat. The fixed ear seat is fixed to the outer wall of the door frame, and the connecting ear seat is fixed to one side of the furnace door cover. The connecting ear seat and the fixed ear seat are hinged by a pin shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a bolt fixing seat, a locking bolt and a butterfly nut. The bolt fixing seat is fixed to the outer side wall of the door frame, and the locking bolt is fixed vertically outward to the bolt fixing seat. A locking ear plate is fixed to the outer side of the furnace door cover, and a slot is provided on the locking ear plate. The locking bolt is inserted into the slot, and the butterfly nut is threadedly connected to the locking bolt and is arranged at the outer end of the locking ear plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a group of tensioning tubes is provided between each two opposite box plates in the connecting box.

[0015] Furthermore, every two adjacent pipe boxes are connected by a folding plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The utility model provides a horizontal air preheater for a circulating fluidized bed boiler that burns purely Zhundong coal. This is designed to improve the heat exchange efficiency of existing air preheaters and address the issues of corrosion and pipe contamination in the air preheater when burning Zhundong coal. Because Zhundong coal contains relatively high levels of alkali metals, moisture, and sulfur, ash easily adheres to the pipes during combustion, and the resulting sulfides also corrode the pipes more easily. This structure reduces ash accumulation, prevents pipe corrosion, improves boiler efficiency, enhances structural stability, is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, better improves boiler fuel combustion conditions, facilitates maintenance, and increases fuel utilization, thereby further improving boiler efficiency and saving costs.
