Technical Field

[0030] Furthermore, the high-temperature condenser 11 and the low-temperature condenser 12 have the same inner diameter.
[0031] Furthermore, it also includes a flue pipe 4 connected to the high-temperature condenser 11. The flue pipe 4 is conical, and the flue outlet 41 at the upper end of the flue pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the high-temperature condenser 11.
[0032] Both the high-temperature condensation section 11 and the flue gas outlet 41 have circular cross-sections.
[0033] Furthermore, multiple smoke guide plates 42 are fixedly installed around the smoke outlet 41 on the side wall of the smoke inlet pipe 4. The smoke guide plates 42 are curved panels and are arranged in a circular array with the center of the smoke outlet 41 as the center.
[0034] Furthermore, a first inlet pipe 22 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the outer side wall of the straight water jacket 2, and a first outlet pipe 23 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the outer side wall of the straight water jacket 2.

[0035] Furthermore, a second liquid inlet pipe 32 is fixedly installed on the upper annular surface of the annular water jacket 3, and a second liquid outlet pipe 33 is fixedly installed on the lower annular surface of the annular water jacket 3. Both the second liquid inlet pipe 32 and the second liquid outlet pipe 33 are connected to the second condensation chamber 31.
[0036] Furthermore, the lower end of the low-temperature condenser tube 12 is fixed and connected to the flue pipe 5. The flue pipe 5 extends to the bottom of the annular water jacket 3 and is provided with a condensate collection tank 6. The condensate collection tank 6 is connected to the flue pipe 5.
[0037] Furthermore, a water outlet valve 8 is installed in the middle of the bottom plate of the condensate collection tank 6.
[0038] Furthermore, the outlet valve 8 includes a valve body that is connected to the condensate collection tank 6. The valve body includes a cylindrical part 81 and a conical part 82 that are fixedly connected at the top and bottom. A float ball 83 is movably disposed inside the cylindrical part 81.

[0039] Furthermore, a guide rod 87 is fixedly installed on the top of the float 83, and a guide plate 88 is horizontally installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the cylindrical part 81. A guide hole is opened at the position opposite to the guide rod 87 on the guide plate 88. The guide rod 87 is slidably installed in the guide hole. A spring 89 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the guide rod 87 between the guide plate 88 and the float 83. The upper end of the spring 89 contacts the lower end face of the guide plate 88, and the lower end of the spring 89 contacts the top of the float 83.
[0040] The working principle of the above technical solution:
[0041] After the gas is burned in the combustion chamber, it enters the high-temperature condenser 11 and the low-temperature condenser 12 through the flue gas inlet pipe 4. The high-temperature condenser 11 is vertically arranged, and the low-temperature condenser 12 is spiral-shaped. The upper ends of the high-temperature condenser 11 and the low-temperature condenser 12 are connected. The flue gas first exchanges heat with the liquid medium in the straight water jacket in the high-temperature condenser 11. The water vapor in the flue gas will not condense in the high-temperature condenser, so no condensate will be generated in the high-temperature condenser. The upper ends of the high-temperature condenser and the low-temperature condenser are connected to each other, so that the condensate generated in the low-temperature condenser will gather at the lower part of the low-temperature condenser. The condensate will not flow back to the burner, which can prevent the condensate from extinguishing the flame. The low-temperature condenser 12 adopts a spiral structure, which increases the length of the low-temperature condenser and can recover more waste heat from the flue gas, thereby improving the waste heat recovery efficiency of the flue gas.
[0042] The flue gas outlet 41 at the upper end of the flue gas inlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the lower end of the high-temperature condenser pipe 11. The flue gas inlet pipe 4 is conical with the large end of the cone facing downwards and is fixedly connected to the burner. The flue gas after combustion in the burner is collected into the high-temperature condenser pipe 11 through the flue gas inlet pipe. The flue gas inlet pipe 4 is located at the lower part of the high-temperature condenser pipe 11 and the low-temperature condenser pipe 12. In order to save space, the conical shape of the flue gas inlet pipe 4 is set as an asymmetrical shape. Alternatively, the high-temperature condenser pipe can be set inside the annular shape of the low-temperature condenser pipe. The flue gas inlet pipe can be set as a cone symmetrical about the central axis of the flue gas outlet. An array of arc-shaped plates is set on the inner wall of the flue gas inlet pipe 4 so that when the flue gas enters the high-temperature condenser pipe 11, the flue gas forms a vortex, increasing the contact time with the pipe wall of the high-temperature condenser pipe 11 and improving the heat exchange efficiency between the flue gas and the medium in the straight water jacket 3.
[0043] The straight water jacket 2 and the annular water jacket 3 are used for circulating the liquid medium to recover the residual heat in the flue gas. The liquid medium can be water. The liquid medium flows in from the first inlet pipe 22 and the second inlet pipe 32, and flows out from the first outlet pipe 23 and the second outlet pipe 33, respectively. The straight water jacket 2 is sealed to the high-temperature condenser pipe 11, and the annular water jacket 3 is sealed to the low-temperature condenser pipe.
[0044] A flue pipe 5 is installed at the lower part of the low-temperature condenser tube 12 to discharge the condensed flue gas. A water collection tank 6 is installed on the lower wall of the part of the flue pipe extending from the annular water jacket 3. The water collection tank 6 is connected to the flue pipe 5. The condensate generated in the low-temperature condenser tube 12 flows inward and collects in the water collection tank 6. A water outlet valve 8 is installed at the bottom of the water collection tank 6 and is connected to the water collection tank. When the amount of water entering the valve body reaches a certain amount, the buoyancy of the water pushes the float ball 83 upward. 3. Compression spring 89 causes guide rod 87 to slide upward. Float 83, via connecting rod 84, drives sealing part 85 upward, disengaging sealing part 85 from outlet 86. Condensate flows out from outlet 86. As the amount of condensate decreases, the buoyancy on float 83 decreases, and float 83 moves downward under the spring force, causing sealing part 85 to block outlet 86, preventing further condensate discharge. This cycle continues, allowing condensate to be continuously discharged. A guide channel can be installed to collect the discharged condensate. When flue gas flows in flue pipe 5, it reduces the pressure in water collection tank and outlet valve. Spring 89 also prevents the outlet valve seal from opening due to pressure reduction, thus preventing air from entering flue pipe from outlet 86. By setting an appropriate float volume and spring force, the spring 89 can prevent the valve from opening due to low pressure in the water collection tank caused by the flow of smoke in the smoke outlet pipe 5, and can also move upward when the float 83 is subjected to a certain amount of buoyancy from the condensate to release the condensate. It can also prevent smoke or air from passing through the water outlet valve.
[0045] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0046] The flue gas condenser tube for gas heating described in this utility model uses a high-temperature condenser tube and a spiral low-temperature condenser tube in the inner tube, which increases the length of the condenser tube and improves the recovery of waste heat from the flue gas. The flue gas will not produce condensate in the high-temperature condenser tube, preventing condensate from flowing back into the burner and extinguishing the flame.
