Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an ammonia pipeline heating system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, with increasingly stringent national requirements for NOx emissions, most coal-fired power plants employ SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) denitrification technology to address NOx emissions. This process, with the aid of a catalyst, efficiently converts NOx in flue gas into nitrogen and water, typically achieving a denitrification efficiency of 80%-90% or higher, meeting stringent environmental emission standards. However, this process may be affected by ammonia crystallization in the pipelines, impacting denitrification efficiency. (Crystallization can clog pipelines: Crystallized substances adhere to the inner walls of pipelines, gradually clogging ammonia pipelines over time, hindering ammonia transport and affecting the normal progress of the denitrification reaction.)
[0003] Impact on denitrification efficiency: Pipeline blockage leads to insufficient ammonia supply, preventing the denitrification reaction from proceeding fully, thus reducing denitrification efficiency and causing NOx emissions to exceed standards. Increased operating costs: Removing crystals requires additional manpower, resources, and time for cleaning and maintenance, increasing operating costs and equipment downtime. Safety hazards: Severe crystallization can lead to pipeline rupture, ammonia leaks, and other safety accidents, threatening the safety of personnel and equipment. Therefore, we can invent an ammonia pipeline heating system to prevent pipeline crystallization. Utility Model Content

[0007] The flue gas outlet of the outer casing of the ammonia heating device is connected to the ammonia outlet pipe via a flue gas outlet pipe.
[0008] In the aforementioned ammonia pipeline heating system, the air inlet of the ammonia-air mixer is connected to the air supply pipeline.

[0016] Ammonia gas (110-130℃) from the ammonia buffer tank enters the ammonia heating device's ammonia supply pipe (its temperature drops to 100℃ before entering the pipe). Economizer flue gas (330-360℃) enters the outer shell of the ammonia heating device through the economizer flue pipe and exchanges heat with the ammonia gas in the ammonia supply pipe to heat the ammonia gas. After heat exchange, the ammonia gas enters the ammonia-air mixer and mixes with the air in the air supply channel. The flue gas after heat exchange and the ammonia gas from the ammonia-air mixer enter the ammonia injection layer together, and then enter the SCR reactor.
[0017] The flue gas outlet of the outer casing of the ammonia heating device is connected to the ammonia outlet pipe via the flue gas outlet pipe 14.
[0018] The air inlet of the ammonia-air mixer is connected to the air supply duct. The air supply duct includes a primary air duct 15 and a dilution air duct 16. The primary air duct and the dilution air duct are connected to the main air outlet duct 5. The main air outlet duct is connected to the air inlet of the ammonia-air mixer through a branch air outlet duct 12.
