TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the carbon black industry technical field, concretely relates to the pipeline expansion joint of high temperature air preheater (hereinafter referred to as: preheater) high temperature air outlet and combustor vertical direction connection. BACKGROUND
[0002] The preheater on the carbon black production line heats the cold air, and the heated air enters the hot air pipeline from the hot air outlet and returns to the combustion-supporting combustor of the reaction furnace to achieve the purpose of energy saving. The air temperature of the currently used preheater has reached 950 DEG C. The outlet of the reaction furnace is connected with the base of the preheater and is parallel to the hot air pipeline. The hot air enters the combustor vertically downward through the elbow pipe. The vertical section of the pipeline is provided with a pipeline expansion joint. The shell of the hot air pipeline is provided with a heat preservation layer and a refractory layer. The ceramic fiber cotton and stainless steel baffle in the bellows of the pipeline expansion joint form a heat insulation layer. Before installation, the expansion joint is in a pre-pressed state. The existing problems are as follows: 1. The bellows of the expansion joint is filled with ceramic fiber cotton, which has small compression amount, many waves, long bellows, and poor stability of the pipeline expansion joint; 2. At high temperature, the ceramic fiber cotton in the bellows of the expansion joint becomes more and more loose, the heat preservation effect is poor, the strength of the bellows is reduced or the bellows is burned through; 3. At high temperature, the stainless steel baffle is severely deformed, the ceramic fiber cotton leaks out of the expansion gap of the baffle, enters the hot air flow, and then enters the combustor, blocking the gas inlet of the combustor; 4. After the hot air containing ceramic fiber cotton enters the reaction furnace, the carbon black tail gas contains impurities, and the produced carbon black is of poor quality or unqualified; 5. The bellows and the cylinder are connected by lap welding, the heat insulation layer of the bellows has poor effect, and the welding seam is easy to crack. Therefore, the heat insulation of the bellows is very important, which directly affects the service life of the expansion joint. The current heat insulation method has poor effect and high damage rate of the bellows. Our company has developed a bellows heat insulation layer technology, which can effectively isolate the adverse effects of hot air on the bellows, ensure that impurities are not mixed into the hot air, and solve the problem of welding seam cracking by using butt welding between the bellows and the connecting cylinder.
