[0002] The flue heat exchanger of the coal-fired boiler is a device for recovering waste heat of flue gas. By transferring the heat in high-temperature flue gas to cooling medium (such as water or air), energy reuse is achieved, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. This heat exchanger plays an important role in energy saving and environmental protection in the coal-fired boiler system.

[0003] There are various types of flue heat exchangers, including tube type, plate type, and fin type, etc. Different types of heat exchangers are suitable for different working conditions.

This arrangement can effectively reduce the flue gas temperature while avoiding equipment corrosion caused by excessively low temperature.

[0005] However, some problems need to be paid attention to when using the flue heat exchanger, such as preventing ash deposition and corrosion. Since the flue gas contains a large amount of dust and water vapor, it may cause fouling or corrosion on the surface of the heat exchanger. Therefore, appropriate measures need to be taken during design and operation, such as regular cleaning of ash deposition and timely replacement of corroded parts. However, the heat exchanger in the prior art is usually of an integral structure, which cannot be replaced or disassembled individually. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments.

[0037] A tower type heat exchanger, comprising an outer cover 1 and a heat exchange assembly 2, the outer cover 1 comprises a tower 10 and a baffle 11, the tower 10 is fixedly distributed with a plurality of baffles 11, that is, a structure similar to a louvered window is formed, which can increase the contact time of flue gas and heat exchange pipes to some extent under the premise of ensuring that flue gas can normally flow through the heat exchanger, so as to strengthen the heat exchange effect. Specifically, the overall material of the outer cover 1 is preferably niobium metal alloy, which has high melting point and corrosion resistance, thereby reducing the maintenance frequency of the equipment.

[0038] The heat exchange assembly 2 is arranged in the outer cover 1; the heat exchange assembly 2 comprises a heat exchange connecting frame 20 and a heat exchange support frame 21, the heat exchange support frame 21 is detachably connected with the heat exchange connecting frame 20, the heat exchange support frame 21 is provided with a plurality of levels, one heat exchange support frame 21 is one level, and a plurality of heat exchange support frames 21 are arranged in intervals from top to bottom, that is, a multi-level arrangement structure is formed.

[0039] When installing, the heat exchanger can be arranged horizontally in the flue of the coal-fired boiler; the tower 10 is detachably fixedly connected with the flue.

[0040] Each heat exchange support frame 21 comprises a connecting rod 210 and a pair of support rods 211; a plurality of connecting rods 210 are inserted between the pair of support rods 211, and the connecting rod 210 is externally provided with a spiral heat exchange pipe 22; one end of each spiral heat exchange pipe 22 is communicated through a water inlet pipe 23, the other end of each spiral heat exchange pipe 22 is communicated through a water outlet pipe 24, and each spiral heat exchange pipe 22 is connected with the water inlet pipe 23 (the water outlet pipe 24) through a threaded interface pipe. When replacing the spiral heat exchange pipe 22 alone, the threaded interface pipes connected with the water inlet pipe 23 and the water outlet pipe 24 need to be removed respectively.

[0041] When any of the spiral heat exchange pipes 22 needs to be replaced due to corrosion, the heat exchange support frame 21 is first separated from the tower 10, and then the corresponding heat exchange support frame 21 is separated from the heat exchange connecting frame 20, so that the corresponding spiral heat exchange pipe 22 can be replaced alone.

[0042] Further, the tower 10 is square conical or conical in shape. The spiral heat exchange pipe 22 is preferably made of fluoroplastic pipe.

[0043] Further, in order to facilitate the separation of the heat exchange support frame 21 from the tower 10, the heat exchange support frame 21 is preferably connected to the tower 10 through the first connecting assembly 3. Four first connecting assemblies 3 are provided, i.e. the heat exchange support frame 21 is connected to the tower 10 through the four first connecting assemblies 3.

[0044] The first connecting assembly 3 includes a connecting rope 30 and a connecting nut 31. One end of the connecting rope 30 is fixedly connected to the tower 10, and a stud 32 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rope 30. The other end of the connecting rope 30 is inserted through the heat exchange support frame 21, and the stud 32 is threadedly connected to the connecting nut 31, so that the heat exchange support frame 21 is connected to the tower 10. When disassembly is required, the connecting bolt is removed, and the heat exchange support frame 21 is separated from the tower 10.

[0045] Further, the tower 10 is fixedly connected to the tower 10. When the connecting nut 31 is tightened, the upper end of the heat exchange support frame 21 is inserted into the limiting frame 12.

[0046] Further, the pair of support rods 211 are connected through two second connecting assemblies 4. The second connecting assembly 4 includes a connecting screw 40 and a fixed nut 41. The two ends of the connecting screw 40 are respectively threadedly connected to the fixed nut 41 through the corresponding support rods 211. By tightening the fixed nut 41, the two support rods 211 are pressed against the connecting rod 210, thereby achieving the function of fixation.

[0047] When a connecting pipe needs to be removed, any of the fixed nuts 41 is removed, and the connecting rod 210 on one side is separated. Then the corresponding spiral heat exchange pipe 22 (the threaded interface pipe has been removed) is pulled out of the connecting rod 210.

[0048] Further, the second connecting assembly 4 further includes a movable plug 42 and a wedge-shaped push block 43. The movable plug 42 is slidably connected to the support rod 211, and a return spring 44 is arranged between the movable plug 42 and the support rod 211. The two ends of the return spring 44 are respectively fixedly connected to the movable plug 42 and the support rod 211. A plug groove 420 is arranged at one end of the movable plug 42, and a plug-in column 45 corresponding to the plug groove 420 is arranged on the heat exchange connecting frame 20.

[0049] The wedge-shaped push block 43 is in sliding connection with the connecting screw rod 40, and a push rod 46 matched with the wedge-shaped push block 43 is fixed on the movable plug block 42. During the process of tightening the fixing nut 41, the fixing nut 41 pushes the wedge-shaped push block 43 to move; when the wedge-shaped push block 43 moves, the push rod 46 assembly is contacted, the insertion slot 420 of the movable plug block 42 is inserted with the insertion column 45, and the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 44 is generated.

[0050] That is, during the process of tightening the fixing nut 41, the movable plug block 42 is first extended to be inserted with the insertion column 45, and the insertion of the support rod 211 and the heat exchange connecting frame 20 is realized. After the fixing nut 41 is finally tightened, the two support rods 211 can press the connecting rod 210, and the fixing effect is achieved.

[0051] Further, the insertion rod 25 is fixed on the support rod 211, and the insertion hole is arranged on the connecting rod 210, and the insertion rod 25 can be inserted into the insertion hole.

[0052] When the spiral heat exchange pipe 22 needs to be replaced, during the process of loosening the fixing nut 41, the reset spring 44 releases the elastic potential energy, so that the insertion slot 420 of the movable plug block 42 is separated from the insertion column 45. Then, the corresponding heat exchange support frame 21 and the heat exchange connecting frame 20 can be separated; and during the separation process, since the nut is not completely removed, and the insertion rod 25 of the support rod 211 is still inserted into the insertion hole on the connecting rod 210, that is, the heat exchange support frame 21 is still an "integrated whole", and will not be scattered.

[0053] Further, the water outlet pipe 24 is communicated with the mixed flow box 5, and the mixed flow box 5 is provided with a corresponding water outlet; the water flow passes through the water inlet pipe 23 and flows through each spiral heat exchange pipe 22 (contacting with flue gas to absorb heat); finally, the water flow is collected into the mixed flow box 5 through the water outlet pipe 24; the water in the mixed flow box is discharged to the required position through the water outlet. Since the upper and lower multi-stage arrangement is adopted, there is a certain difference in the water temperature discharged from each spiral heat exchange pipe 22; therefore, by arranging the mixed flow box 5, the discharged water is mixed to reduce the temperature difference.

[0054] The above only describes the preferred embodiment of the utility model in detail, but the utility model is not limited to the above embodiment.
