Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boilers, specifically to a composite arrangement structure of high and low temperature heating surfaces in a π-type boiler. Background Technology
[0002] The most common boiler layout for pulverized coal, oil, or gas-fired boilers is the π-type arrangement, a widely used layout for thermal power plant boilers. In this layout, the furnace is a vertical column and serves as the fuel combustion zone. Here, fuel mixes with air and burns, releasing heat to evaporate water into steam. A horizontal flue connects to the furnace outlet and is located above the furnace, housing superheaters and other heating surfaces to further heat the steam. A vertical flue connects perpendicularly to the horizontal flue and houses economizers, air preheaters, and other components to preheat the water and air entering the boiler, improving energy efficiency.
[0003] Pulverized coal boilers or oil / gas-fired boilers are typically arranged in a π-type configuration. The vertical furnace facilitates complete fuel combustion, while the horizontal and vertical flues allow for the rational arrangement of different heat exchange surfaces based on the temperature characteristics of steam and flue gas, meeting varying heat exchange requirements. The flue gas flows upwards through the furnace and exits via the horizontal and vertical flues, minimizing changes in flow direction, reducing resistance, and lowering fan energy consumption.
[0004] However, the π-type layout of pulverized coal boilers or oil / gas-fired boilers has the following drawbacks: large footprint, extended horizontal and vertical flues, and the need to reserve sufficient maintenance space, resulting in high site area requirements. For boiler expansions in power plants or chemical plants, due to the limited space available within the plant, a compact boiler layout is required. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model addresses the problem that existing pulverized coal boilers or oil / gas-fired boilers with a π-type layout require a compact boiler arrangement for expansion boilers in power plants or chemical plants due to space constraints. Therefore, it provides a π-type boiler with a composite arrangement of high and low temperature heating surfaces.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0007] A composite arrangement structure of high and low temperature heating surfaces in a π-type boiler includes a high-temperature superheater comprising a left high-temperature superheater low-temperature section, a right high-temperature superheater low-temperature section, and a high-temperature superheater high-temperature section. These sections are connected by a header and are arranged in a composite parallel configuration. The left and right high-temperature superheater low-temperature sections are located on either side, with the high-temperature superheater high-temperature section in the middle. The left and right high-temperature superheater low-temperature sections flow counter-currently, while the high-temperature superheater high-temperature section flows concurrently and is arranged side-by-side along the boiler width.
[0008] The low-temperature section of the left high-temperature superheater and the low-temperature section of the right high-temperature superheater are arranged in relatively low-temperature flue gas zones close to the furnace walls on both sides along the width of the furnace, and the high-temperature section of the high-temperature superheater is arranged in the middle position along the width of the furnace.
[0009] Furthermore, the low-temperature section of the left high-temperature superheater and the low-temperature section of the right high-temperature superheater are specifically arranged at positions close to the left and right water-cooled walls along the width of the boiler.
[0010] The low-temperature section of the left high-temperature superheater and the low-temperature section of the right high-temperature superheater are respectively connected to the left inlet header and the right inlet header, and the inlet headers of the low-temperature section of the left high-temperature superheater and the low-temperature section of the right high-temperature superheater are two independent inlet headers.
[0011] Furthermore, the low-temperature section of the left high-temperature superheater and the low-temperature section of the right high-temperature superheater are suspended in the upper flue of the furnace. The lower part of the low-temperature section of the left high-temperature superheater and the low-temperature section of the right high-temperature superheater are water-cooled membrane walls, and the upper part is divided into the furnace heating surface and the furnace exterior by the center line of the roof tube.
[0012] Furthermore, the outlets of the low-temperature section of the left high-temperature superheater and the low-temperature section of the right high-temperature superheater are the left outlet header and the right outlet header, respectively.
[0013] The left and right outlet headers are respectively equipped with a left superheater desuperheater and a right superheater desuperheater.
[0014] Furthermore, the high-temperature section of the high-temperature superheater is respectively connected to a first high-temperature section inlet header and a second high-temperature section inlet header;
[0015] The first high-temperature section inlet header and the left-side outlet header are a single header of continuous length;
[0016] The second high-temperature section inlet header and the right-side outlet header are a single, continuous header.
[0017] Furthermore, the left outlet header, the right outlet header, the left superheater desuperheater, the right superheater desuperheater, the first high-temperature section inlet header, and the second high-temperature section inlet header are integrated into one structure.
[0018] Furthermore, the high-temperature section of the high-temperature superheater is connected to the outlet header of the high-temperature section of the high-temperature superheater, and the outlet header 12 of the high-temperature section of the high-temperature superheater is a single header.
[0019] Furthermore, the low-temperature section of the left high-temperature superheater and the low-temperature section of the right high-temperature superheater are arranged in a counter-current manner inside the furnace.
[0020] Furthermore, the high-temperature section of the high-temperature superheater is arranged in a co-current manner within the furnace.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0022] This utility model is applicable to the suspended high-temperature superheater of π-type boiler. It adopts a composite arrangement structure of high and low temperature heating surfaces and desuperheaters, which makes full use of the heat transfer temperature difference to improve heat transfer efficiency. The desuperheaters are reasonably arranged and the desuperheaters are designed and arranged together with the header, which is conducive to the hanging design, saves steel consumption, and reduces the space in the depth direction of the boiler.
[0023] This invention relates to a π-type boiler with a suspended high-temperature superheater. To efficiently utilize the heat transfer difference and improve heat transfer efficiency, while also reducing boiler space and saving steel, a composite arrangement of high and low temperature heating surfaces is designed. The high-temperature superheater is designed as a composite structure consisting of a low-temperature section and a high-temperature section. The low-temperature section is located in the relatively low-temperature flue gas zone near the two side walls along the furnace width, while the high-temperature section is located in the middle along the furnace width, where the flue gas temperature is relatively high. The low-temperature section of the high-temperature superheater adopts a counter-current arrangement, while the high-temperature section adopts a co-current arrangement. This fully utilizes the heat transfer temperature difference in the low-temperature section to improve heat transfer efficiency. The high-temperature section, with its lower working fluid temperature at the inlet, is located in the high-temperature flue gas region, while the high-temperature working fluid temperature at the outlet is located in the lower-temperature flue gas region. This allows for reasonable control of the tube wall temperature, reduces the amount of material used in the high-end heating surfaces, and increases the economic efficiency of the power plant.
