Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air preheater technology, and in particular to a dust removal device for a rotary air preheater. Background Technology
[0002] In the actual operation of coal-fired power plants, the rotary air preheater (APH) is an important component of the boiler system, and its performance directly affects the boiler's thermal efficiency and operational stability. However, traditional rotary air preheater cleaning technology has significant shortcomings and urgently needs improvement.
[0003] Traditional soot blowing technology typically involves two steam soot blowers plus a low-pressure water flushing device at the hot end of the air preheater, and one steam soot blower at the cold end. This technology faces several challenges in practical application. First, the pressure of the high-pressure superheated steam gradually decreases as it travels along the soot blowing pipe. By the time the steam reaches the front end of the pipe, its pressure is far below the rated soot blowing pressure, resulting in only localized cleaning and leaving a large amount of ammonium bisulfate (ABS) residue on the rotor.
[0004] Ammonium bisulfate has strong viscosity and easily deposits in the middle section of the air preheater, adsorbing fly ash from the flue gas and causing severe ash blockage. Traditional cleaning techniques are difficult to use to clean the middle section with steam or high-pressure water. This not only increases the heat transfer resistance of the air preheater and reduces its heat transfer efficiency, but also raises the boiler exhaust temperature, increases the power consumption of the induced draft fan and primary air fan, and may even cause fan vibration, affecting the safe and economical operation of the unit.
[0005] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content
