Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boiler technology, specifically to a modular economizer structure. Background Technology

[0002] Economizers, as crucial components of boilers, primarily absorb waste heat from the flue gas in the boiler's tail flue to heat the feedwater, thereby lowering the exhaust gas temperature and increasing the feedwater temperature. Because economizers are typically located in the boiler's tail flue, where the flue gas temperature is relatively low, resulting in a lower temperature and pressure difference with the feedwater temperature, a larger number of economizer tube bundles are often required. However, conventional economizers are often shipped in sections and assembled on-site, leading to a large workload, long construction period, and compromised quality during installation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a modular economizer structure, which is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0004] A modular economizer structure is disclosed, wherein the modular economizer structure can be assembled and connected to form an economizer, wherein each of the modular economizer structures includes a flue shell, a serpentine tube bank, a support beam, an inlet header, an outlet header, and a header support, wherein:

[0005] The serpentine tube bank is disposed within the flue shell; the inlet header is disposed at the flue gas outlet end of the flue shell; the outlet header is disposed at the flue gas inlet end of the flue shell; the inlet end of the serpentine tube bank is connected to the inlet header; the outlet end of the serpentine tube bank is connected to the outlet header.

[0006] The support beam is used to support the flue shell and the serpentine pipe bank.

[0007] Optionally or preferably, the flue shell is formed by a first protective plate, a second protective plate, a third protective plate, and a fourth protective plate; the outer side of the flue shell is also provided with steel profiles arranged in a "well" shape to enhance the strength of the first protective plate, the second protective plate, the third protective plate, and the fourth protective plate.

[0008] Optionally or preferably, the flue casing is also provided with an inspection door.

[0009] Optionally or preferably, the serpentine tube array consists of multiple sets of serpentine tube screens and serpentine tube supports.

[0010] Optionally or preferably, the inlet and outlet ends of the serpentine tube bank extend out of the flue housing, and the exit points are sealed by a sealing cover.

[0011] Optionally or preferably, the inlet header and outlet header are fixed to the flue shell by means of the header bracket.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0013] This utility model provides a modular economizer structure that assembles all accessories, including the economizer serpentine pipe bank, header, flue shell, support beam, and header bracket, before shipment. This reduces the workload and difficulty of on-site construction and significantly shortens the construction period. Furthermore, factory assembly ensures higher product quality.
