Detailed Implementation
[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. For ease of description, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" appearing below only indicate that they correspond to the upper, lower, left, and right directions in the accompanying drawings and do not limit the structure.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a waste heat boiler in this embodiment includes a furnace body 1. Multiple maintenance manholes 19 are provided on the side walls of the furnace body 1. Inside the furnace body 1, a turning flue 2, two vertical flues 3, and multiple sets of centralized downcomers 10 are arranged side-by-side along the height direction. A collection box 4 and a boiler drum 5 connected to the collection box 4 are provided at the top of the furnace body 1. Distributed downcomers 9 are provided at the bottom of the furnace body 1. The furnace body 1 and the boiler drum 5 are mounted on a steel frame 12 via a suspension device 2. A rain shelter 20 is provided above the furnace body 1 and is connected to the steel frame 12. Each of the two vertical flues 3 has a flue gas inlet 7 at its bottom, and the tops of the two vertical flues 3 are connected, with the top of one of the vertical flues 3 connected to the top of the turning flue 2.Figure 3 As shown, the turning smoke chamber 2 is equipped with three partitions 13, which divide the turning smoke chamber 2 into four parallel branch smoke chambers 201. All four branch smoke chambers 201 are arranged along the height direction of the furnace body 1. Multiple sets of centralized downcomers 10 are distributed within the two vertical flues 3 and the four branch smoke chambers 201. Each of the three partitions 13 has a connecting hole 14 at its top or bottom. The connecting holes 14 on the branch smoke chambers 201 that connect to the vertical flues 3 are located at the bottom of the partition 13, and the connecting holes 14 on adjacent partitions 13 are staggered. Figure 1 As indicated by the arrows within the central turning smoke chamber 2, flue gas flows through four branch smoke chambers 201. Along the flue gas flow direction, the top of the branch smoke chamber 201 into which the flue gas finally flows is equipped with a flue gas outlet 6. Multiple gas-fired soot blowers 18 are installed within each branch smoke chamber 201, positioned at the turning points of the flue gas flow. The specifications of the gas-fired soot blowers 18 are HDZ-325 / 159-20 / 20-JZ. The side walls of the turning smoke chamber 2, the two vertical flue ducts 3, and the three partitions 13 are all membrane water-cooled walls. Each membrane water-cooled wall has an upper header 21 at its top and a lower header 8 at its bottom. The upper header 21 is connected to the central header 4. The boiler drum 5 is connected to the top of the centralized downcomer 10, and the bottom of the centralized downcomer 10 is connected to the decentralized downcomer 9. The decentralized downcomer 9 is connected to the lower header 8. Below the turning smoke chamber 2, there is an ash discharge hopper 15, and below the ash discharge hopper 15, there is a scraper conveyor 16. The scraper conveyor 16 is connected to the ash discharge hopper 15 through an expansion joint 17.
[0030] This embodiment also provides a side-blown furnace waste heat recovery system, including two side-blown furnaces and a waste heat boiler as described above. The flue gas outlets of the two side-blown furnaces are respectively connected to the flue gas inlets 7 of two vertical flue ducts 3.
[0031] When the side-blown furnace waste heat recovery system is running, such as Figure 1As shown, the smelting flue gas from the two side-blown furnaces enters the waste heat boiler through the flue gas inlet 7 and exchanges heat with the membrane water-cooled walls of the two vertical flue ducts 3. A small amount of large dust particles in the smelting flue gas gradually descends in the vertical flue duct 3 and falls back into the side-blown furnace, allowing the metal volatilized during smelting in the side-blown furnace to be fully oxidized and enter the dust. Most of the remaining dust in the smelting flue gas follows the flue gas into the subsequent turning chamber 2. In the turning chamber 2, the smelting flue gas converges and flows sequentially along the four branch chambers 201 for further heat exchange and cooling, and is finally discharged from the flue gas outlet 6. The dust in the smelting flue gas settles into the ash discharge hopper 15 in the turning chamber 2. The scraper conveyor 16 below the ash discharge hopper 15 operates continuously, discharging the ash from the ash discharge hopper 15. The steam-water mixture generated after heat exchange between the water in the side walls of the transition flue 2, the vertical flue 3, and the partition 13 and the flue gas enters the boiler drum 5 through the upper headers 21 and the central header 4. The water in the boiler drum 5 then enters the lower headers 8 through the central downcomer 10 and the decentralized downcomer 9. The steam-water mixture in the lower headers 8 enters the membrane water-cooled walls of the transition flue 2, the vertical flue 3, and the partition 13 to continue heat exchange with the flue gas, continuously circulating. In this embodiment, the waste heat boiler uses natural circulation, eliminating the need for an additional circulation pump. The circulation loops of each group of central downcomers 14 and decentralized downcomers 15 operate independently, ensuring long-term stable operation. The boiler's internal ash blockage can be observed through the maintenance manhole 19, and maintenance can be performed through the manhole 19 during shutdown. Multiple gas-fired soot blowers 18 installed at the flue gas transition points periodically clean the blocked soot, ensuring smooth flue gas flow and preventing positive pressure smoke from the furnace opening.
[0032] The above embodiments should be understood as being used only to illustrate the present invention more clearly, and not to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the embodiments by those skilled in the art in various equivalent forms fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
