Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to an economizer for boilers. Background Technology
[0002] An economizer is a device installed at the tail end of a boiler to recover and preheat flue gas. It is generally used to preheat the boiler feedwater. Firstly, it can reduce the exhaust temperature of the flue gas, thus saving energy. Secondly, it can utilize low-grade heat for preheating, making full use of energy and improving the overall efficiency of the boiler.
[0003] The main problems with the economizers currently in use are twofold. One is that when the exhaust gas heat is low, condensation may cause pipe corrosion. The other is the cleaning issue. Currently, economizers are generally cleaned at operational nodes, but this will affect heat exchange efficiency in the later stages. Therefore, it is necessary to consider technical solutions that can perform online cleaning. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes an economizer for boilers, comprising a heat exchange chamber with a flue gas inlet channel on one side and a flue gas outlet channel on the other side. A central baffle is installed within the heat exchange chamber, with a flow chamber on one side and a heat exchange pipe chamber on the other, containing heat exchange pipes. A switch controller is located on the side of the central baffle facing the flue gas inlet channel to control the alternating opening and closing of the flow chamber and the heat exchange pipe chamber. This application uses a central baffle to separate the heat exchange pipe chamber and the flow chamber, objectively providing a structural basis for cleaning the heat exchange pipes. Furthermore, this structure allows for automatic removal of low-energy exhaust gas, preventing problems such as pipe corrosion.
[0005] Preferably, the switch controller includes a transverse partition, with a first flow channel on the side of the transverse partition facing the flow cavity and a second flow channel on the side facing the heat exchange pipe cavity; a slidable baffle is provided on one side of the transverse partition, the slidable baffle is connected to a drive piston rod, and the drive piston rod is configured to cooperate with a drive piston cylinder.
[0006] Preferably, it further includes a supporting baffle, and a sliding cavity for the sliding baffle to slide between the supporting baffle and the transverse partition. This application, by forming a sliding cavity for the sliding baffle through the supporting baffle and the transverse partition, can effectively limit its position, thereby ensuring a sealing effect on the flow cavity and the heat exchange pipe cavity.
[0007] Preferably, the heat exchange pipe includes a plurality of transverse heat exchange pipes arranged in a zigzag pattern, the transverse heat exchange pipes being connected by annular bends, and a plurality of vertically arranged heat exchange fins being provided on the transverse heat exchange pipes and the annular bends.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom horizontal heat exchange pipe is connected to the inlet pipe, and an inlet valve is installed on the inlet pipe; the top horizontal heat exchange pipe is connected to the outlet pipe, and an outlet valve is installed on the outlet pipe.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a pulsed gas pipe, which is connected to the bottom of the heat exchange pipe cavity. By providing a pulsed gas pipe, this application allows for pulsed blowing after the heat exchange pipe cavity is closed by a sliding baffle, thereby initially purifying the heat exchange pipe and extending its service life under high heat exchange efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, the heat exchange cavity is provided with a tapered top channel; the top channel includes a first top cover plate communicating with the heat exchange cavity, a guide cone tube is provided on the first top cover plate, a second top cover plate is provided on the top of the guide cone tube, and the flue gas outlet channel is located in the middle of the second top cover plate.
[0011] This application can bring the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This application uses a central baffle to separate the heat exchange pipe cavity and the flow cavity, which objectively provides a structural basis for cleaning the heat exchange pipe. Moreover, with this structure, when the exhaust gas energy is low, it can be automatically discharged, avoiding problems such as pipe corrosion.
[0013] 2. This application forms a sliding cavity for the sliding baffle by supporting baffles and transverse partitions, which can fully limit its position, thereby ensuring the sealing effect on the flow cavity and heat exchange pipe cavity.
[0014] 3. By setting up a pulsed gas pipeline, this application can perform pulsed blowing after the heat exchange pipeline cavity is closed by a sliding baffle, thereby initially purifying the heat exchange pipeline and extending the service life of the heat exchange pipeline under high heat exchange efficiency.
