Description

[0002] Air preheater refers to air preheater, it is a kind of heat exchange equipment for improving the thermal efficiency of boiler, its main function is to utilize the flue gas waste heat in the tail flue of boiler to heat the air required for combustion (primary air is used to transport and dry pulverized coal, and secondary air is used for combustion support), and the rotary air preheater is a common type of air preheater, which is mainly composed of a rotor, a shell, a sealing device and the like, the rotor rotates slowly, and a large number of heat storage elements are arranged therein, when flue gas passes through the air preheater, the flue gas flows in the heat storage elements, and heat is transferred to the heat storage elements, with the rotation of the rotor, the heated heat storage elements are turned to the air passage side, and the air absorbs the heat of the heat storage elements in the flowing process, so as to realize the preheating of the air.

[0003] For the SCR flue gas denitration technology, ammonia and nitrogen oxide are difficult to be mixed completely, and escape is inevitable, when the escape rate exceeds the standard, ammonia reacts with sulfur trioxide to generate ammonium bisulfate to block the air preheater, which affects the safe and economic operation of the unit, according to the reversible characteristics of ammonium bisulfate with temperature change (generally, ammonium bisulfate is in solid state below 147 DEG C, in liquid state between 147 DEG C and 207 DEG C, and in gaseous state above 207 DEG C), the air preheater dry burning technology can be applied in operation to adjust and control the outlet temperature of the air preheater to be above 207 DEG C, so as to promote the ammonium bisulfate to be in gaseous state and then be carried out by high-speed flue gas, and the ammonium bisulfate adhering on the heat exchange elements of the air preheater is removed, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating the blockage and realize the continuous safe, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly operation of the unit.

[0004] In the operation process of the air preheater related baffle, there is a close fluid mechanics association between the fan and the baffle, when the air baffle is closed too fast, the air flow will be rapidly reduced, which will cause the temperature field in the air preheater to change sharply, if the temperature in the air preheater is originally in the state of liquid or gaseous state of ammonium bisulfate (above 147 DEG C), the rapid closing of the air baffle can cause the temperature to drop rapidly, according to the characteristics of ammonium bisulfate, when the temperature drops below 147 DEG C, it will rapidly solidify into solid state, this sudden state change will cause the ammonium bisulfate to rapidly solidify and adhere on the surface of the heat exchange element, further aggravating the blockage degree, because the solid-state ammonium bisulfate is more difficult to be carried away by flue gas than liquid or gaseous state, and its adhesion on the surface of the heat exchange element is stronger, which will make the existing blockage problem more serious.

[0021] Working principle:

[0022] When it is necessary to close the secondary air outlet 105, the external drive motor 120 is connected to the worm 8 near the secondary air outlet 105, the worm 8 is driven to rotate by the external motor, the worm 8 drives the worm gear 7 to rotate, the worm gear 7 drives the rotating rod 2 to rotate, the rotating rod 2 drives the secondary baffle 4 to rotate, when the secondary baffle 4 rotates, the secondary air outlet begins to close. Similarly, when it is necessary to close the flue gas inlet 106 and the primary air outlet, the worm 8 can drive the worm gear 7 to rotate in the above-mentioned manner, so that the primary baffle 3 and the flue gas baffle 5 rotate and close the primary air outlet and the flue gas inlet 106, respectively. When one of the rotating rods 2 at the flue gas inlet 106 rotates, the fixed part 13 and the horizontal plate 14 are driven to rotate, and the several rotating rods 2 also rotate at this time. At this time, the several flue gas baffles 5 at the flue gas inlet 106 close the flue gas inlet 106, and each flue gas baffle 5 should be at the same level. The contact part of the two adjacent flue gas baffles 5 should be sealed. It should be noted that the worm 8 has a large transmission ratio, the worm 8 is a single-head spiral structure, and the number of teeth of the worm gear 7 is relatively large. The worm 8 needs to rotate many times, and the worm gear 7 will rotate one circle. When used to drive the flue baffle to rotate, the motor drives the worm 8 to rotate. Due to the existence of the transmission ratio, the rotating speed of the worm gear 7 will be reduced, so the rotating speed of the primary baffle 3, the secondary baffle 4 and the flue baffle will also be slowed down accordingly, achieving the effect of slow closing. The worm 8 transmission has self-locking property under certain conditions. When the helix angle of the worm 8 is less than the equivalent friction angle of the worm 8 material, the worm gear 7 cannot drive the worm 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. For example, for the flue baffle, this self-locking property can prevent the baffle from being accidentally quickly closed or opened under the interference of external forces such as flue gas pressure and vibration. During the closing process, it can ensure that the baffle stably closes according to the driving speed of the worm 8, and will not suddenly accelerate due to external factors, thereby achieving slow closing. Similarly, the primary baffle 3 and the secondary baffle 4 can also achieve slow closing, reducing the risk of losing control during the closing process due to external factors, ensuring the safety of the closing operation, and helping to maintain the stable operation of the entire combustion system and ventilation system.

[0023] Subsequently, when the worm 8 near the primary air baffle 3 is rotated and closed, the driving motor 120 needs to drive the rotating drum 130 to rotate, the rotating drum 130 drives the polygonal slider 110 to rotate, the polygonal slider 110 drives the sleeve 9 to rotate, the sleeve 9 drives the worm 8 to rotate, the worm 8 drives the driving shaft 601 to rotate, the driving shaft 601 drives the two rotating wheels 602 to rotate synchronously through the multi-groove belt 603, one of the two rotating wheels 602 drives the rotating rod 2 to rotate, and the rotating rod 2 drives the primary air baffle 3 to rotate, thereby achieving the slow closing of the primary air baffle 3. When the primary air baffle 3 is closed by 70%, the driving motor 120 stops working, then the push piece 140 is pulled to drive the polygonal slider 110 to move and separate from the sleeve 9, thereby releasing the limiting effect between the sleeve 9 and the polygonal slider 110. Then the handle 11 is manually rotated. Since the driving shaft 601 is at a low position, the handle 11 is also at a low position, which is convenient for the operator to operate. The handle 11 can be manually rotated to rotate the worm 8. After the primary air baffle 3 is closed by 70%, the system is more sensitive to the change of the primary air flow. The local manual handle 11 adjustment can achieve very fine control. The operator can accurately adjust the opening of the baffle according to the actual situation on site, such as the running sound and vibration of the fan, and by observing the instrument. The adjustment range can be very small. For example, compared with the automatic control mode, the manual control mode can control the opening adjustment accuracy of the baffle within a smaller range, such as 1%-2% opening change, which can better balance the supply and burning demand of the primary air, and avoid the influence of the slight excess or deficiency of the primary air flow on the combustion stability. Moreover, during the operation of the primary air baffle 3, the secondary air baffle 4 and the flue gas baffle 5 of the air preheater, the air flow will not decrease rapidly due to the slow closing, which will not cause the temperature field in the air preheater to change rapidly. If the temperature in the air preheater is originally above 147℃, which is the liquid or gaseous state of ammonium bisulfate, slow closing of the air baffle will not cause the temperature to drop rapidly. According to the reversible characteristics of ammonium bisulfate with temperature change, ammonium bisulfate is in a solid state below 147℃, in a liquid state between 147-207℃, and in a gaseous state above 207℃. During operation, the air preheater dry burning technology can be applied to adjust and control the air preheater outlet temperature to be above 207℃, so as to promote the ammonium bisulfate to be in a gaseous state and then be carried out by high-speed flue gas, thereby removing the ammonium bisulfate adhering on the air preheater heat exchange element, achieving the effect of eliminating the blockage, and realizing the continuous, safe, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly operation of the unit.

[0024] Finally, it needs to be explained that after closing the secondary air damper 4, the primary air damper 3, the flue gas damper 5 of the flue gas inlet 106 of the air preheater body 1, the main operator should pay attention to the combustion monitoring, the running mill outlet temperature monitoring; prevent the mill outlet temperature from being low due to the wind temperature drop to cause the mill to be blocked and the mill to jump; control the temperature rising rate of the air preheater outlet flue gas temperature, prevent the air preheater from being stuck due to uneven expansion; after the flue gas temperature rises, check the air preheater body 1 for no abnormal sound, check the air preheater outlet to the induced draft fan outlet flue for no abnormality, and control the flue gas temperature to be greater than 210 DEG C and less than or equal to 230 DEG C; after the flue gas temperature is stable, continue to comprehensively check the above-mentioned system, stop the test immediately when the abnormality is found, and restore the original operation mode; prepare the fire extinguishing equipment in advance for the flue gas ignition event accident anticipation.
