Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heating equipment accessories, and in particular to an energy recovery device for boilers. Background Technology

[0002] A heating boiler is an important thermal energy device, and its working principle is mainly based on heat exchange. Fuel burns in the combustion chamber inside the boiler, generating a large amount of heat. This heat heats the inner wall of the combustion chamber and the water pipes, and then transfers the heat to the water in the pipes. During the heat exchange process, the temperature of the flue gas gradually decreases, while the temperature of the water gradually increases. As the water temperature rises, the heat energy in the water begins to be transferred to the heating system. Heating boilers generate heat energy by burning fuel gas (such as natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, etc.) for heating or providing hot water. There are two main types of heating: underfloor heating and wall heating. Underfloor heating uses low-temperature water (not exceeding 60°C) as the heat medium, and the entire floor is evenly heated by radiation through hot water coils under the floor. Wall heating involves heating water in the boiler and then transporting it through pipes to various radiators. The hot water flows inside the radiators and radiates heat into the surrounding space through the outer shell of the radiators. The water heated by the boiler is distributed to various parts of the room through a distributor and then returns to the boiler for reheating through a collector. This circulation and heating of water is used for indoor heating.

[0003] Existing household heating boilers typically use natural gas to generate heat. During heating, the water in the heating system needs to be repeatedly heated, which consumes a lot of energy. The exhaust gas produced by burning natural gas is usually directly discharged outdoors. This exhaust gas contains a lot of heat when it is first discharged from the boiler. If it is directly discharged, this part of the heat cannot be fully utilized, resulting in a waste of heat energy. Utility Model Content

Water valves 7 are installed on both the water inlet pipe 102 and the drain pipe 103. Specifically, the water inlet pipe 102 is used to connect to the outlet of the water collection pipe of the water collector in the heating system, and the drain pipe 103 is used to connect to the heating water inlet of the boiler. A first slot 101 is provided on the side wall of the water tank 1, and sliding grooves 104 are provided on both inner walls of the water tank 1. A water collection trough 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water tank 1. The bottom of the water collection tank 2 has a funnel-shaped structure, which facilitates the collection of water at the bottom. The bottom of the water collection tank 2 is connected to the inside of the water tank 1 through the water collection pipe 201, so that the water collected at the bottom of the water collection tank 2 can flow into the water tank 1 through the water collection pipe 201. The water collection tank 2 is interconnected with the heating box 4. A partition 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 1, and the heating box 4 is fixedly connected above the partition 3. Several second slots 301 are opened on the partition 3. One end of the partition 3 extends to the top of the water collection tank 2 and is separated from the side wall of the water collection tank 2. The upper surface of the partition 3 has several drainage channels 302, which extend through both ends of the partition 3. The ends of the drainage channels 302 closest to the water collection tank 2 are all inclined downwards to facilitate the flow of water from the heating box 4 into the water collection tank 2. The heating box 4 has a flue gas inlet 401 and a flue gas outlet 402 on both sides. Specifically, the flue gas inlet 401 is used to connect to the boiler's flue gas pipe, and the flue gas outlet 402 is used to connect to the flue gas pipe to discharge exhaust gas outdoors. The bottom of the heating box 4 is open. It also includes several... The heat-conducting component 5 includes a connecting plate 501 and several heat-conducting pipes 502. A protrusion 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 501. The protrusion 503 matches the second slot 301. Several heat-conducting components 5 are fixedly connected to the partition plate 3 through the protrusion 503. The top ends of several heat-conducting pipes 502 are located in the inner cavity of the heating box 4. The ends of several heat-conducting pipes 502 pass through the connecting plate 501 and the protrusion 503 in sequence and extend into the water tank 1, so that the temperature of the heating box 4 can be transferred to the water tank 1 through the heat-conducting pipes 502.The system also includes a filter assembly 6, which is movably inserted into the water tank 1 via a first slot 101. A gap exists between the filter assembly 6 and the bottom of the water tank 1, and the filter assembly 6 is located below the inlet pipe 102 and the collecting pipe 201, allowing water entering the water tank 1 to be filtered before flowing out. The filter assembly 6 includes a filter box 601, the outer wall of which is fitted against the inner wall of the water tank 1. Both sides of the filter box 601 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the water tank 1 via sliding grooves 104. A panel 603 is fixedly connected to the end of the filter assembly 6, located outside the water tank 1 and fitted against its outer wall, facilitating the operation of the filter assembly. 6. Disassembly, cleaning, and replacement are performed. A sealing ring 604 is fixedly connected to the side of the panel 603 near the water tank 1. The sealing ring 604 matches the first slot 101 to prevent water in the water tank 1 from flowing out through the gap between the filter assembly 6 and the water tank 1. Several drainage holes 601a are opened at the bottom of the filter box 601. Filter media 602 is placed inside the filter box 601. The filter media 602 includes a first filter screen 602a.

Specifically, other filter media can be added according to usage requirements to better filter out impurities in the water.

[0029] In this utility model, before use, the inlet pipe 102 needs to be connected to the outlet of the water collection pipe of the heating pipe collector, and the drain pipe 103 needs to be connected to the heating water inlet of the heating boiler. During use, the water flowing back from various places is first collected into the water tank 1 through the collector. The exhaust gas generated after the boiler is heated enters the heating box 4 through the flue gas inlet 401, and washes the top of the heat conduction pipe 502 located in the heating box 4. The heat conduction pipe 502 transfers heat to the water tank 1, thereby preheating the water in the water tank 1. The preheated water enters the boiler again through the drain pipe 103 for reheating and then flows back to the heating system and is distributed to various parts of the room through the distributor. Since the water in the water tank 1 has been preheated using the temperature of the exhaust gas, the energy consumption required for boiler heating can be reduced, and the heat of the exhaust gas can be recovered and utilized.

[0030] When natural gas is burned, it produces water vapor. When the water vapor is mixed with the exhaust gas and discharged outward, some of the heat is absorbed when it encounters the heat conduction pipe 502 in the heating chamber. As a result, some of the water vapor will condense into water droplets, which will flow along the heat conduction pipe 502 to the lower partition 3, and then be collected in the water collection tank 2 through the diversion channel 302. The water will then flow into the water tank 1 through the water collection pipe 201, thus realizing the recycling of water vapor in the exhaust gas.

[0031] The water enters the water tank 1 through the inlet pipe 102 and the collection pipe 201 and is filtered by the crystal filter assembly 6. The water then flows out through the drain pipe 103, reducing impurities in the water and preventing these impurities from entering the heating pipes and affecting them. The filter assembly 6 adopts a pull-out design, which makes it easy to replace and clean the filter media.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
