AI Technical Summary
Existing marine auxiliary boilers have the problems of large footprint, high height, and heavy weight, and their heat transfer efficiency is low, making it difficult to meet the compact layout requirements of modern ships.
The vertical structure of the marine auxiliary boiler with enhanced heat transfer uses membrane wall tube bundles and different types of evaporator tube bundles (fin tubes and cellular tubes) to divert flue gas. Combined with the top layout of the burner, it forms two flue gas flows of high temperature and low temperature, improving heat transfer efficiency and reducing boiler height and weight.
While maintaining the evaporation capacity and boiler efficiency unchanged, the boiler height and floor space can be significantly reduced, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and adapting to the equipment layout requirements of modern ships.

This embodiment is a vertical heat transfer enhanced marine auxiliary boiler, which includes an upper boiler drum 1, a lower boiler drum 2, a membrane wall tube bundle 3, an enhanced heat transfer evaporator tube bundle, a tube sheet 6, a downcomer 7, a water supply pipe 8 and a boiler support structure 11. The upper boiler drum 1 and the lower boiler drum 2 are respectively mounted at the upper and lower ends of the boiler support structure 11. The upper boiler drum 1 is connected to the lower boiler drum 2 through the downcomer 7 arranged vertically on the side. The upper boiler drum 1 is installed with a water supply pipe 8 that passes through the inner cavity of the upper boiler drum. The membrane wall tube bundle 3 is vertically arranged between the upper boiler drum 1 and the lower boiler drum 2 to form a boiler furnace. The tube sheet 6 is horizontally arranged in the middle position inside the membrane wall tube bundle 3. The enhanced heat transfer evaporator tube bundle is vertically mounted on the tube sheet 6. The enhanced heat transfer evaporator tube bundle and the upper and lower ends of the membrane wall tube bundle 3 are respectively connected to the upper boiler drum 1 and the lower boiler drum 2.
[0026] In this embodiment, a tube sheet 6 is provided in the boiler furnace to divide the high-temperature flue gas into two flows: in the first flow, the high-temperature flue gas flushes the evaporator tube bundle I4 and the lower half of the evaporator tube bundle II5; in the second flow, the low-temperature flue gas flushes the evaporator tube bundle I4 and the upper half of the evaporator tube bundle II.
[0027] Specific implementation method 2: Combination Figs. 1-3 This embodiment describes the enhanced heat transfer evaporator tube bundle. It includes evaporator tube bundle I4, which is vertically inserted into the tube bundle mounting holes on tube sheet 6.

The portion of the evaporator tube bundle II 5 above the tube sheet 6 utilizes a finned tube structure, while the portion below the tube sheet 6 utilizes a t-cell tube structure.

Other components and connections are the same as those in Specific Embodiments 1 or 2.
[0029] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figs. 1-3This embodiment describes a burner 9 mounted on top of a boiler support structure 11. A fuel inlet and an air inlet are located above the burner 9, and an inlet flue is located below the burner 9. The lower end of the inlet flue passes through the upper portion of the membrane-walled tube bundle 3 and extends into the flue gas cavity formed by the membrane-walled tube bundle. This arrangement utilizes the high-temperature air at the top of the furnace body, creating a high airflow velocity that effectively brings fuel into the combustion chamber, creating a better combustion space and improving combustion efficiency. This effectively utilizes the boiler's space and saves on boiler floor space. Other components and connections are the same as those in Specific Embodiments 1, 2, or 3.

The upper portions of the membrane wall tube bundle 3 and the evaporator tube bundle I 4 are respectively provided with a first outlet flue mounting hole and a second outlet flue mounting hole. The lower end of the outlet flue 10 is vertically inserted into the first and second outlet flue mounting holes. The remaining components and connections are the same as those in Embodiments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
[0033] Specific implementation method eight: combination Figs. 1-3 This embodiment also includes a thermal insulation structure wrapped around the outside of the membrane wall tube bundle 3 and connected to the boiler support structure 11 via a connecting element. Other components and connections are the same as those in Embodiments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.
[0034] How it works
[0035] Combine Figs. 1-3 Figs. 1-3The working principle of the vertical reinforced heat transfer auxiliary boiler for ship is as follows: working medium side: after the auxiliary boiler is filled with water through the water feeding pipe 8, the working medium forms natural circulation between the upper drum 1 and the lower drum 2 through the membrane wall pipe bundle 3, the evaporator pipe bundle I 4, the evaporator pipe bundle II 5 and the downcomer 7. The water in the upper drum 1 enters the lower drum 2 through the downcomer 7, and the water in the lower drum 2, part of which enters the upper drum 1 through the membrane wall pipe bundle 3, has not been vaporized. Another part of the water in the lower drum 2 gradually changes into steam-water mixture during the process of rising into the upper drum 1 through the evaporator pipe bundle I 4 and the evaporator pipe bundle II 5, and the steam-water mixture is separated after entering the upper drum 1, and the saturated steam generated is supplied to the heat equipment through the steam outlet pipeline, so that the circulation of the working medium side of the auxiliary boiler is completed, and the water feeding is continuously changed into steam for external supply through the reciprocating operation. The flue gas side: the fuel is mixed with air through the burner 9, and changes into high-temperature flue gas after being burned, and the high-temperature flue gas washes the lower half of the evaporator pipe bundle I 4 and the evaporator pipe bundle II 5 in the first process, then washes the upper half of the evaporator pipe bundle I 4 and the evaporator pipe bundle II 5 in the second process, and finally is discharged through the outlet flue 10.
[0036] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, and not to limit them; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can still be modified, or some technical features can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the utility model embodiments.
