DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] like Figure 1-6 The vertical top-fired condensing steam boiler shown includes, from bottom to top, a water jacket 1, a combustion chamber 2 and a steam chamber 3.

[0024] The burner's combustion head 16 extends into the combustion chamber 2 through the central blind pipe of the steam chamber 3. Two layers of finned tubes are arranged around the outer periphery of the combustion chamber 2, and the outer finned tubes 5 and the inner finned tubes 4 are staggered. The outer finned tubes 5 and the inner finned tubes 4 are connected to the water jacket 1 at the bottom and the steam chamber 3 at the top. Flame-retardant sheets 6 are arranged around the outer periphery of the outer finned tubes 5. Smoke exhaust holes 7 are provided on the flame-retardant sheets 6. The smoke exhaust holes 7 include oblong holes 7A arranged in the middle and lower parts of the flame-retardant sheets 6 and small circular holes 7B near the smoke outlet. A large-diameter downcomer 18 is arranged around the outer side of the flame-retardant sheets 6. The downcomer 18 is connected to the water jacket 1 at the bottom and the steam chamber 3 at the top, ensuring the reliability of the water circulation, making heat exchange smoother and improving the heat exchange effect. An insulating layer is provided on the outside of the downcomer 18 to prevent the high-temperature flue gas from the combustion chamber 2 from damaging the water circulation and to ensure a density difference between the upper and lower parts. The flame retardant sheet 6 is made of S310 stainless steel flame retardant sheet 6, and the finned tube adopts stainless steel fins. The stainless steel flame retardant sheet 6 is connected to the adjacent stainless steel fins by butt welding, which is simple and easy, greatly saving production costs. At the same time, it has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, long service life, and no vibration during operation.

[0025] A smoke outlet is provided on the upper side of the combustion chamber 2, and the smoke outlet is connected to the smoke inlet of the condenser 8. A U-shaped flue is provided in the condenser 8, and a pressure condensation section is provided on the front side of the U-shaped flue, and a normal pressure condensation section is provided on the back side. The smoke outlet of the condenser 8 is provided on the top of the normal pressure condensation section. There are multiple rows of straight finned tubes 9 distributed in parallel in the pressure condensation section, and the adjacent rows of straight finned tubes 9 are staggered and the ends are connected in pairs through a junction box 11. The pressure condensation section adopts a staggered arrangement. Compared with the sequential arrangement of the prior art, the heat transfer coefficient is higher and the heat transfer capacity is stronger, which helps to reduce the size, solve the space and reduce the cost while achieving the same heat exchange effect. There are multiple rows of serpentine finned tubes 10 distributed in parallel in the normal pressure condensation section. The multiple rows of serpentine finned tubes 10 are formed in one piece, without butt welds, and no non-destructive testing is required.

[0026] The straight fin tubes 9 located in the bottom row are connected to the pressure condenser water inlet header 12, the straight fin tubes 9 located in the top row are connected to the pressure condenser water outlet header 13, the serpentine fin tubes 10 located in the bottom row are connected to the atmospheric pressure condenser water inlet header 14, the serpentine fin tubes 10 located in the top row are connected to the atmospheric pressure condenser water outlet header 15, the atmospheric pressure condenser water inlet header 14 is connected to the low-temperature water tank through a circulation pump, the atmospheric pressure condenser water outlet header 15 is connected to the high-temperature water tank, the high-temperature water tank is connected to the pressure condenser water inlet header 12 through the boiler feed water pump, and the pressure condenser water outlet header 13 is connected to the boiler water inlet to ensure the circulating operation of the boiler steam-water system.

[0027] In this embodiment, the burner utilizes a top-mounted split blower structure, effectively preventing thermal damage to the blower caused by high furnace temperatures in integrated units, thereby extending the service life of the burner and blower. The condenser 8 and split blower 17 are located on either side of the rear of the boiler body, creating a compact and aesthetically pleasing structure with small dimensions and minimal floor space. Furthermore, their integration into the base creates a skid-mounted structure, simplifying on-site installation and saving labor hours.

[0028] The vertical top-fired condensing steam boiler of this embodiment has the following flue gas and medium flow:

[0029] Flue gas flow: fuel → burner → combustion chamber → inner finned tube → outer finned tube → flame retardant sheet → condenser pressure condensing section → condenser normal pressure condensing section → chimney

[0030] Steam-water system: softened feed water → low-temperature water tank → circulating pump → condenser atmospheric pressure condensing section → high-temperature water tank → boiler feed water pump → condenser pressure condensing section → boiler water inlet → boiler body → saturated steam → heat user.

[0031] This vertical, top-fired condensing steam boiler features a top-mounted burner for easy installation and maintenance. Both the combustion chamber and convection heating surface utilize finned-tube straight water pipes, allowing for a large number of heating surfaces within a compact space, significantly reducing the boiler outlet flue gas temperature. The burner utilizes fully premixed, ultra-low nitrogen combustion technology, resulting in a shorter flame and a smaller combustion chamber diameter and length. This eliminates the need for an external flue gas recirculation (FGR) duct, thus reducing the impact of FGR flue gas recirculation on the steam boiler's thermal efficiency. The boiler's combustion chamber utilizes a flame-retardant seal, and the water pipes utilize finned tubes, eliminating the need for bending and simplifying fabrication. A staggered pressure condenser and a sequential atmospheric condenser are integrated at the rear end. The pressure condenser heats water for the boiler, improving boiler efficiency. The atmospheric condenser and water tank circulation system also significantly reduce exhaust gas temperature, resulting in higher boiler efficiency and greater energy efficiency. The burner utilizes a top-mounted, split-fan design, effectively preventing thermal damage to the fan caused by the high combustion chamber temperature, thereby extending the service life of the burner and blower. Since the condenser and blower are arranged on both sides of the rear part of the boiler body, the structure is compact and beautiful, with small dimensions and a small footprint. They can be integrated on the base to form a skid-mounted structure, which is easy to install on site. This greatly reduces the user's initial investment cost, while ensuring that the boiler's thermal efficiency is not affected, greatly improving market competitiveness.

[0032] The high-temperature flue gas generated by combustion absorbs heat through the inner finned tubes 4 of the combustion chamber 2, and then passes through the outer finned tubes 5 for convection heat exchange, and then enters the condenser 8 through the smoke outlet through the smoke outlet holes arranged on the flame retardant sheet 6. The staggered design of the inner and outer layers of the finned tubes, as well as the special design of the smoke exhaust holes 7 on the flame retardant, are more conducive to sufficient heat exchange of the finned tubes, improve thermal efficiency, and save space. At the same time, the U-shaped flue design in the condenser 8 makes the entire condenser 8 structure more compact and saves space. The flue gas passes through the pressure condensation section and the normal pressure condensation section at the most economical flow rate, making the flue gas heat exchange more sufficient and the boiler thermal efficiency higher. Finally, the exhaust temperature of the smoke outlet of the boiler condenser 8 can be reduced to below 60°C, making full use of the flue gas condensation technology, making the steam boiler design thermal efficiency as high as 103%.

On the basis of the technical solutions disclosed in the present invention, technicians in this field can make some substitutions and deformations of some technical features therein according to the disclosed technical content without creative labor, and these substitutions and deformations are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
