Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heating furnace technology, and more specifically, to a stratified and segmented flow guiding device for high-temperature flue gas in a heating furnace flue. Background Technology

[0002] Heating furnaces are crucial equipment for heating materials and equipment in industry, widely used in metallurgy and chemical industries. They are also major energy-consuming devices, accounting for more than 50% of the total energy consumption of a process. Therefore, the energy efficiency and effectiveness of heating furnaces directly affect the cost and profitability of the entire production line. Improving the utilization efficiency of waste heat from the flue gas of heating furnaces is an important measure to improve the efficiency of heating furnaces. The utilization of waste heat from flue gas generally involves installing air heat exchangers and gas heat exchangers (both tubular heat exchangers) inside the main flue. The flue gas scours the air heat exchangers and gas heat exchangers to preheat the air and gas (air first).

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, for a large heating furnace 1, due to the large flue gas flow rate, two exhaust pipes 3 are usually installed for double-sided exhaust. The flue gas inside the heating furnace 1 is discharged through the exhaust pipes 3 and then flows into the main flue duct 1. Considering the arrangement of heat exchangers with sufficient area (air heat exchanger 7 and gas heat exchanger 8), the design width of the main flue duct 1 is generally more than 10m. Due to the large design width of the main flue duct 1, after the flue gas inside the two exhaust pipes 3 flows into the main flue duct 1 at a certain angle (about 45°), the flue gas velocity perpendicular to the main flue duct 1 decreases rapidly, causing most of the flue gas to not reach the central area of ​​the main flue duct 1, but instead... The erosion of the heat exchanger's two ends along the inner wall of the main flue causes excessively high temperatures at both ends and insufficient heat exchange in the middle, resulting in low preheated air temperature and low overall efficiency of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, under the long-term effect of flue gas flow deviation, the two ends of the heat exchanger suffer burn-out damage, shortening its service life. Therefore, by adding a segmented flow guiding device inside the main flue, the flue gas flow field and temperature field inside the main flue are made more uniform, and the heat transfer of each section of the heat exchanger is balanced. This is of great practical significance for improving the efficiency of the heat exchanger, the temperature of the combustion air, and extending the service life of the heat exchanger. To this end, a layered and segmented flow guiding device for high-temperature flue gas in the heating furnace flue is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a stratified and segmented flow guiding device for high-temperature flue gas in a heating furnace flue, which diverts and directs the flue gas so that it can evenly flush all heat exchanger tube bundles, thereby improving heat exchanger efficiency and combustion air temperature, and extending the service life of the heat exchangers.

[0005] This application provides a stratified and segmented flow guiding device for high-temperature flue gas in a heating furnace flue, adopting the following technical solution:

Two guide walls are arranged opposite each other inside the main flue, and the guide walls are located at the gas outlet end of the exhaust pipes.

[0007] Preferably, the guide wall includes an arc-shaped segment and a straight segment, the arc-shaped segment being located between the straight segment and the exhaust pipe, and the straight segment being arranged along the axial direction of the main flue.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the guide wall is connected to the inner top of the main flue.

[0009] Preferably, the guide wall is a masonry structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0010] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide wall near the exhaust pipe is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide wall away from the exhaust pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide wall near the end of the exhaust pipe accounts for 2%-3% of the outlet area of ​​the exhaust pipe.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the high-temperature flue gas stratification and segmentation guiding device for heating furnace flue includes a main flue 1, which is connected to two exhaust pipes 3 of the heating furnace 2. Two guide walls 4 are arranged opposite each other inside the main flue 1, and the guide walls 4 are located at the gas outlet end of the exhaust pipes 3.

[0029] During use, the flue gas inside the heating furnace 2 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 3 and then flows into the interior of the main flue 1. The guide wall 4 diverts and directs the flue gas entering the main flue 1, so that the flue gas can evenly flush all the heat exchanger tube bundles, thereby improving the heat exchanger efficiency and combustion air temperature, and extending the service life of the heat exchanger.

[0030] In this embodiment, the guide wall 4 includes an arc-shaped section 5 and a straight section 6. The arc-shaped section 5 is located between the straight section 6 and the exhaust pipe 3. The straight section 6 is arranged along the axial direction of the main flue 1. The arc-shaped section 5 can reduce the airflow resistance of the flue gas.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper end of the guide wall 4 is connected to the inner top of the main flue 1. The guide wall 4 supports the main flue 1 while effectively dividing the airflow.

[0032] In this embodiment, considering the density difference of high-temperature flue gas, the guide wall 4 is a masonry structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The guide wall 4 has a smooth and gradual transition from top to bottom. The design of the above structure can make the lower flow area larger than the upper flow area, so that the flue gas is more evenly distributed in the vertical direction.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to ensure smooth airflow, the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide wall 4 near the exhaust pipe 3 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide wall 4 away from the exhaust pipe 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide wall 4 near the end of the exhaust pipe 3 accounts for 2%-3% of the outlet area of ​​the exhaust pipe 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, a wear-resistant layer is provided on the guide wall 4. The wear-resistant layer is made up of several wear-resistant ceramic blocks. The placement of the wear-resistant ceramic blocks gives the guide wall 4 sufficient rigidity and heat resistance, which can meet the exhaust requirements of the heating furnace 2 under different operating conditions.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
