Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boiler technology, and in particular to a boiler reheat steam temperature regulation system. Background Technology

[0002] Equipping boiler units with reheat systems can effectively improve their power generation efficiency. Currently, there are three main methods for regulating boiler reheat steam temperature:

[0003] Temperature control for flue gas damper.

[0004] Flue gas damper temperature control is achieved by controlling the opening of the damper gate, thereby changing the flue gas flow rate in the low-temperature reheater flue. By increasing or decreasing the flue gas flow rate, the amount of heat absorbed by the low-temperature reheater is controlled, thus achieving the purpose of regulating the reheat steam temperature.

[0005] Flue gas recirculation and temperature adjustment.

[0006] Flue gas recirculation temperature control utilizes a flue gas recirculation fan to draw a portion of low-temperature flue gas from the boiler's tail flue and directly feed it into the furnace through nozzles or through ducts and burners before entering the furnace, forming a flue gas recirculation process. After the low-temperature flue gas drawn from the boiler tail re-enters the furnace, it increases the flue gas flow rate in the reheater flue, enhances convective heat transfer, and raises the reheater outlet steam temperature. The reheat steam temperature is controlled by adjusting the flue gas flow rate using the fan.

[0007] Temperature adjustment using a water spray desuperheater.

[0008] Temperature regulation of the water spray desuperheater is achieved by supplying medium-pressure desuperheating water from the intermediate tap of the water pump, which is then sprayed into the reheat desuperheater on the reheat steam inlet pipe. The reheat steam temperature is controlled by adjusting the flow rate of the desuperheating water.

[0009] Flue gas regulating dampers adjust the reheat steam temperature by controlling the flue gas flow in two or three flue ducts. The varying flue gas flow rates at the outlets of each damper result in an uneven flue gas flow field, affecting heat exchange in subsequent heating surfaces and increasing the temperature difference between the flue gas and the surrounding air. Furthermore, in small combustion boilers and dry quenching waste heat boilers, flue gas dampers are unsuitable due to their small flue cross-sections. In gas turbine waste heat boilers, however, the large flue cross-sections and compact heating surface structure make the use of flue gas dampers not only costly but also increase the boiler's footprint.

[0010] Flue gas recirculation temperature control adds a recirculation fan, making system adjustment complex, increasing investment costs, and resulting in a high fan failure rate and difficulty in maintenance. On the other hand, the introduction of a large amount of low-temperature flue gas into the furnace will lower the furnace temperature and reduce the oxygen concentration inside the furnace, affecting the complete combustion of boiler fuels, especially low-calorific-value fuels, and reducing boiler efficiency.

[0011] Water spray desuperheaters are sensitive in temperature regulation. However, reheat water spray desuperheating increases the working fluid flow rate in the intermediate and low-pressure cylinders. This steam only performs work in the intermediate and low-pressure cylinders, thus limiting the work capacity of the high-pressure cylinder. This means that the efficiency of the high-pressure cylinder is affected in the entire regenerative system, consequently impacting the overall unit efficiency. In ultra-high-pressure units, using water spray desuperheating to regulate reheat steam temperature reduces unit efficiency by approximately 0.1-0.2%. This indicates that while water spray desuperheating is a sensitive method for adjusting steam temperature, it reduces boiler unit efficiency. Utility Model Content
