Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of boilers, in particular to a tool for dredging vertical air preheater pipelines. Background Art

[0002] A boiler is an energy conversion device. Energy input to the boiler includes chemical energy from the fuel and electrical energy, and the boiler outputs steam, high-temperature water, or an organic heat carrier with a certain amount of thermal energy. During boiler operation, an air preheater (also known as an air preheater) is used in conjunction with the boiler to improve the boiler's heat exchange performance and reduce heat loss. The air preheater transfers heat from the flue gas discharged from the boiler's tail flue through fins to the air entering the boiler, preheating the air to a certain temperature. However, with long-term use, the air preheater can become clogged. Traditionally, unclogging the air preheater required flushing with a high-pressure water jet. However, in the case of severe blockages, flushing is inefficient and cannot guarantee a quick and effective cleansing effect. Furthermore, the vertical height of the air preheater is less than 1.5 meters. When operators enter the air preheater during boiler shutdown for maintenance, long pipes are insufficient for vertical clearance, while short pipes are insufficient for long clearance, making the operation difficult.
