[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a thermal oil boiler system with waste heat recovery includes a thermal oil boiler 1, a flue gas return device and a waste heat recovery device. A burner 2 is installed on the air inlet of the thermal oil boiler 1, and a flue gas pipe 10 and a chimney 20 are installed sequentially on the flue gas outlet. A flue gas return device is installed between the flue gas pipe 10 and the burner 2. The flue gas return device is used to heat the flue gas from the flue gas pipe 10 and then introduce it into the burner 2.
[0026] The waste heat recovery device includes a heat exchange coil 3 and a water storage tank 4. The heat exchange coil 3 is installed inside the exhaust end of the chimney 20. One end of the heat exchange coil 3 is provided with an inlet pipe 40 connected to a tap water pipe 30, and the other end is provided with an outlet pipe 50 connected to the water storage tank 4. The hot water in the water storage tank 4 is used for other application scenarios.
[0027] In this embodiment, by installing a heat exchange coil 3 inside the exhaust end of the chimney 20, tap water absorbs the heat of the flue gas inside the chimney 20 during the flow of the heat exchange coil 3, forming hot water which is then stored in the water storage tank 4 and then used in other application scenarios (including processing processes or indoor places that require heating or hot water), especially in cases where hot water is urgently needed in winter, thereby improving the waste heat recovery efficiency and performance of the boiler system.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to effectively remove the dust accumulated on the surface of the heat exchange coil 3, improve the heat exchange effect, and extend the service life of the heat exchange coil 3, the water inlet end of the heat exchange coil 3 is provided with an extension section 31 extending towards the ground, and a vibrator 5 is provided on the extension section 31; in addition, the extension section 31 is provided so that the vibrator 5 is placed in the low temperature area of the chimney 20 to avoid damage to the vibrator 5.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the waste heat recovery device also includes a fan 6 installed indoors, an air inlet pipe 60 is installed on the water inlet pipe 40, a warm air pipe 70 connected to the air inlet end of the fan 6 is installed on the water outlet pipe 50, and a drain pipe 80 is installed at the end of the water inlet pipe 40 near the tap water pipe 30.
[0030] The water inlet pipe 30 and the air inlet pipe 60 are respectively equipped with a first valve 1a and a second valve 2a, the water outlet pipe 50 is equipped with a third valve 3a at the end near the water storage tank 4, the warm air pipe 70 is equipped with a fourth valve 4a, and the drain pipe 80 is equipped with a fifth valve 5a.
[0031] In this embodiment, when hot water is needed, the fifth valve 5a, the second valve 2a, and the fourth valve 4a are closed, while the first valve 1a and the third valve 3a are opened. Tap water enters the heat exchange coil 3 through the inlet pipe 40 to absorb heat, forming hot water which is then discharged through the outlet pipe 50 into the storage tank 4. When heating is needed, the first valve 1a and the third valve 3a are closed, and then the fifth valve 5a is opened to drain the water from the heat exchange coil 3. After drainage is completed, the fifth valve 5a is closed, and then the second valve 2a and the fourth valve 4a are opened. The fan 6 is started, and air enters the heat exchange coil 3 to form hot air flowing into the room. This achieves the conversion of the heat from the flue gas into the required hot water or heating, meeting the needs of different application scenarios and improving the efficiency and performance of waste heat recovery.
[0032] Furthermore, the heat exchange coil 3 is welded or bolted to the chimney 20.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the flue gas return device includes a blower 13, an air preheater 7, and an FGR pipe 8. The air preheater 7 is installed on the exhaust pipe 10. The air inlet of the blower 13 is connected to the exhaust pipe 10 through the FGR pipe 8, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the air preheater 7 through the air guide pipe 90. The air inlet of the burner 2 is connected to the hot air outlet of the air preheater 7 through the flue gas return pipe 100.
[0034] In this embodiment, under the action of blower 13, air mixes with flue gas introduced by FGR pipe 8 and enters air duct 90. After being heated by air preheater 7, it forms flue gas with a higher temperature. Then, the flue gas enters the burner through return flue pipe 100, thereby increasing the combustion intake temperature, reducing energy consumption, and allowing unburned nitrogen oxides to be burned in the furnace, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions and achieving energy saving and environmental protection.
[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent the temperature of the flue gas from being too high and to ensure the stability of the flue gas temperature, the flue gas return device also includes a bypass pipe 9. The two ends of the bypass pipe 9 are connected to the air duct 90 and the flue gas return pipe 100, respectively. A sixth valve 6a is provided on the bypass pipe 9, and a temperature sensor 11 is provided at the end of the flue gas return pipe 100 near the burner 2.
[0036] During operation, when the temperature sensor 11 detects that the temperature of the flue gas is higher than the set value, the sixth valve 6a is opened to introduce the lower temperature mixed gas (flue gas + air) into the flue gas return pipe 100, thereby reducing the temperature of the flue gas. During the process, the opening degree of the sixth valve 6a can be controlled to achieve precise control of the flue gas temperature, prevent excessively high flue gas from damaging the burner 2, and ensure the stable and reliable operation of the burner 2 and the boiler.
[0037] Furthermore, the first valve 1a, the second valve 2a, the third valve 3a, the fourth valve 4a, and the fifth valve 5a are solenoid valves.
[0038] In this embodiment, each of the valves is a solenoid valve. Solenoid valves have advantages such as fast response speed, good stability, and strong controllability, which greatly improves the stability of the on / off control of each pipeline.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent dust in the air from entering the heat exchange coil 3 and to improve the heating quality, an air filter 12 is installed on the air inlet pipe 60.
[0040] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model patent.
