[0025] The specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to make the technical solutions of the present invention easier to understand and grasp.

[0026] A boiler preheater includes an air intake fan 1, a steam pipe 2 and a drain pipe 16. The steam pipe 2 is used to transport steam to a heat exchange element 2 4, and the drain pipe 16 is used to discharge condensed water. It also includes a heat exchange element 1 3 and a heat exchange element 2 4. The heat exchange element 1 3 and the heat exchange element 2 4 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged. The heat exchange element 1 3 includes a shell 5. A plurality of heat exchange tubes 6 for steam to pass through are arranged in the middle of the shell 5. The upper and lower ends of the heat exchange tubes 6 are respectively a heat exchange inlet 7 and a heat exchange outlet 8. A guide plate 9 is also provided in the shell 5. The guide plate 9 is welded and fixed to the shell 5 and forms an S-shaped heat exchange flow channel 29 in the shell 5. The guide plate 9 forms an air inlet 10 and an air outlet 11 on the upper left and lower right sides of the shell 5 respectively. A plurality of guide protrusions 12 are provided on the upper side of the shell 5. The heat exchange tubes 6 are arranged in the guide protrusions 12 and fixed by welding. Through holes for the heat exchange tubes 6 to pass through are opened on the guide plates 9. The fixing accuracy of the heat exchange tubes 6 is increased by the guide protrusions 12.

[0027] The outside of heat exchange element 1 3 and heat exchange element 2 4 is wrapped with an insulation box 13 to reduce heat loss. A connecting air pipe 14 and a transition pipe 15 are also provided between heat exchange element 1 3 and heat exchange element 2 4. The air intake fan 1 is connected to the air inlet 10 of heat exchange element 2 4 and presses air into the air inlet 10. The air outlet 11 of heat exchange element 2 4 is connected to the air inlet 10 of heat exchange element 1 3 through the connecting air pipe 14. The steam pipe 2 is connected to the heat exchange inlet 7 of heat exchange element 1 3. The heat exchange outlet 8 of heat exchange element 1 3 is connected to the heat exchange inlet 7 of heat exchange element 2 4 through the transition pipe 15.

[0028] A water pump 31 is provided in the transition pipe 15, and the water pump 31 inputs the condensed water into the S-shaped heat exchange channel 29 of the heat exchange element 2 4, thereby further utilizing the heat of the water to heat the air that needs to enter the boiler, further increasing the heat transfer efficiency.

[0029] A pressure relief pipe 17 is also provided above the drain pipe 16. The steam pipe 2 is provided at the heat exchange inlet 7 of the heat exchange element 3. The drain pipe 16 and the pressure relief pipe 17 are provided at the heat exchange outlet 8 of the heat exchange element 2 4. When the steam enters the heat exchange tube 6 of the heat exchange element 3 from the steam pipe 2, the temperature of the steam is the highest. The outside of the heat exchange tube 6 here is the air outlet 11 of the heat exchange element 3. When the steam is discharged from the heat exchange outlet 8 of the heat exchange element 2 4, the temperature is relatively low. The outside of the heat exchange tube 6 here is the air inlet 10 of the heat exchange element 2 4. Therefore, in the entire air pipeline, the time when the air starts to heat up is proportional to the temperature of the heat exchange tube 6 in contact with it and gradually increases, thereby ensuring the heat transfer efficiency.

[0030] The heat exchange inlet 7 of the heat exchange element 2 4 and the heat exchange outlet 8 of the heat exchange element 1 3 are both facing downward. A sampling tube 18 is provided at the bottom of the transition pipe 15. A hydrophobic sampling valve 19 is provided in the sampling tube 18. By providing a hydrophobic filter 32, the condensed water is filtered to facilitate the recycling and reuse of the water body.

[0031] The steam pipe 2 is also provided with a cleaning component 21, which includes a flushing pipe 24 arranged above the steam pipe 2 and the pressure relief pipe 17. Valve 1 25 is provided on the steam pipe 2 and the drain pipe 16. Two valves 26 are provided in the flushing pipe 24. By closing valve 1 25 and the drain sampling valve 19 and opening valve 2 26, chemical rust removers, stain removers, etc. can be added to soak the heat exchange tube 6 for rust and stain removal. After completion, the drain sampling valve 19 is reopened to flush the wastewater out of the sampling pipe 18.

[0032] A rotating base 27 is also provided at the bottom of the transition pipe 15. The transition pipe 15 is fixed to the heat exchange element 24 and the heat exchange element 24 by screws. The sampling tube 18 is rotatably set on the rotating base 27. A trench pipe 28 connected to the sampling tube 18 is opened in the rotating base 27. The transition pipe 15 can be removed by opening a window hinged on the outside of the insulation box 13. After rotating the transition pipe 15, the bottom of the heat exchange tube 6 is exposed, which facilitates observation and sampling of the situation inside the heat exchange tube 6 and corresponding cleaning.

[0033] Of course, the above are only typical examples of the present invention. In addition, the present invention may have many other specific implementation methods. Any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
