Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of waste heat utilization, especially relates to a waste heat recovery system of desulfurization slurry flash evaporation long conveying heating boiler air inlet. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the desulfurization process of power plant, desulfurization slurry is the key to purify flue gas. It can absorb sulfur dioxide and other acid gases in flue gas, so that pollution emission is reduced. The heat of desulfurization slurry mainly comes from the following two aspects: on the one hand, when desulfurizing, sulfur dioxide reacts with alkaline substances to generate calcium sulfite, calcium sulfate and other substances, which will release a large amount of heat. On the other hand, the mechanical energy generated by the operation of slurry circulating pump and other equipment will also be converted into heat energy and transferred to the slurry, so that the temperature of desulfurization slurry is increased. Relevant data shows that the temperature of desulfurization slurry is stabilized at 45-65℃, which belongs to medium and low temperature waste heat. Although this part of waste heat cannot be directly used for power generation, it can be used for regional heating to provide heat for residents and commercial buildings; it can also prepare domestic hot water to reduce heating energy consumption; it can also preheat the air inlet of the boiler to improve the combustion efficiency. If this part of waste heat can be reasonably utilized, energy cascade utilization can be realized, and energy comprehensive utilization efficiency can be improved.
[0003] At present, some power plants have fully realized the value of desulfurization slurry waste heat resources and put it into practice. For example, some power plants use heat exchangers to transfer the heat of desulfurization slurry to circulating water, and the heated circulating water can be used for heating or supplying domestic hot water; some power plants use this part of waste heat to preheat the air entering the boiler, which not only improves the thermal efficiency of the boiler, but also reduces fuel consumption. However, a considerable number of power plants have not effectively developed this part of waste heat resources, and there is still a large space for waste heat exploitation. If reasonable technical means and carefully designed utilization system can be used, energy can be used efficiently, and the operation cost and energy consumption of power plant can be reduced.
[0004] At present, the following energy utilization directions can be optimized in power plant: on the one hand, some power plants use electric air heaters to preheat the air inlet of the boiler. The working principle is that electric heating elements such as resistance wire and PTC ceramic heating element convert electric energy into heat energy. When cold air flows through the electric air heater, it exchanges heat with the heating element to increase the temperature of the air. However, this method consumes a large amount of electricity during use, which greatly increases the operation cost of the system. On the other hand, the land resources in power plant are relatively scarce at present, so the newly added equipment often faces the problem of long distance from the target equipment and difficult steam transportation, which limits the selection of equipment.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0025] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, a waste heat recovery system for heating boiler intake air via flash evaporation of desulfurization slurry includes: a first flash evaporation unit 100, wherein the exhaust steam generated by the first flash evaporation unit 100 provides a heat source for a first heat exchange unit 300 via a long conveying pipeline 200; a pressurization unit 400 for pressurizing the exhaust steam is installed on the long conveying pipeline 200; and a first fresh air inlet 310 and a first heated air outlet 320 are installed on the first heat exchange unit 300. The first heated air outlet 320 is connected to a first air medium inlet and / or a second air medium inlet of a rotary air preheater 600. A third heat exchange unit 700 for supplementing the heating of the gas within the long conveying pipeline 200 is installed on the long conveying pipeline 200. Both the first heat exchange unit 300 and the third heat exchange unit 700 are finned heat exchangers. A drain valve 1000 for discharging condensate is installed on the long conveying pipeline 200. Both the first heat exchange unit 300 and the second heat exchange unit 500 are equipped with condensate drain pipes 800, and each condensate drain pipe 800 is equipped with a return water pump 900. The long conveying pipe 200 is arranged at an angle. The heat source medium of the first flash evaporation unit 100 is desulfurization slurry.
[0026] The first flash unit 100 separates gas and liquid phases by flashing the desulfurization slurry in a negative pressure environment, extracting medium and low temperature waste heat. The waste heat of the desulfurization slurry is recovered, and the heat of 45-65°C is converted into steam exhaust to reduce energy waste. The gas-liquid separation is completed by pressure change only, reducing system energy consumption. The long conveying pipeline 200 transports the steam exhaust to the heat exchange unit, supporting ultra-long distance transportation of ≥200m. The problem of long distance between equipment layout in power plants is solved, and the site restrictions are flexibly adapted. The inclined arrangement of the pipeline is designed to cooperate with the drain valve 1000 to effectively drain the condensed water. The condensed water in the long conveying pipeline 200 is drained regularly to prevent excessive accumulation of condensed water in the pipeline, thereby reducing the heat loss of steam during transportation. The booster unit 400, which can be a booster fan, pressurizes the steam exhaust to increase the transportation pressure and overcome the resistance of long distance transportation. The steam exhaust maintains sufficient pressure during long distance transportation to avoid condensation or interruption of transportation caused by insufficient pressure. In cooperation with the insulation layer design, the heat loss during transportation is reduced. The first heat exchange unit 300 transfers the heat of the steam exhaust to the boiler inlet air through the finned heat exchanger. The boiler inlet air is preheated to improve combustion efficiency, replace traditional electric air heaters, and reduce high-grade electric energy consumption. The fin structure increases the heat exchange area and enhances the heat transfer efficiency, shortening the preheating time. The third heat exchange unit 700 supplements heat on the long conveying pipeline to compensate for heat loss during transportation. The steam temperature is maintained to reduce condensation and extend the effective transportation distance. The heat exchange unit inlet steam still has sufficient latent heat to improve the overall system energy efficiency. The condensate drainage pipeline 800 and the drain pump 900 collect and drain the condensed water generated by the heat exchange unit to maintain system pressure balance. The recovered clean condensed water realizes "heat-water double benefits" and improves water resource utilization. The drain pump ensures that the condensed water is drained in time to avoid affecting the heat exchange efficiency. The rotary air preheater 600 receives the heated air to further preheat the boiler inlet air. The boiler combustion process is optimized to improve overall thermal efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. The heat exchange unit works together to form a multi-stage preheating system to enhance energy saving effect.
[0027] Example 2: as Figure 2As shown, a waste heat recovery system for flash evaporation of desulfurization slurry and long-distance heating of boiler inlet air, comprising: a first flash evaporation unit 100, steam waste gas generated by the first flash evaporation unit 100 provides heat source for a first heat exchange unit 300 through a long-distance pipeline 200, a booster unit 400 is arranged on the long-distance pipeline 200 for pressurizing the steam waste gas, and a first fresh air inlet 310 and a first heated air outlet 320 are arranged on the first heat exchange unit 300. A second heat exchange unit 500 is further included, and the steam waste gas generated by the first flash evaporation unit 100 provides heat source for the second heat exchange unit 500 through the long-distance pipeline 200, and a second fresh air inlet 510 and a second heated air outlet 520 are arranged on the second heat exchange unit 500. The first heated air outlet 320 and the second heated air outlet 520 are respectively connected with a first air medium inlet and a second air medium inlet of a rotary air preheater 600. The first heated air outlet 320 is connected with the first air medium inlet and / or the second air medium inlet of the rotary air preheater 600. A third heat exchange unit 700 is arranged on the long-distance pipeline 200 for supplementing heat to the gas in the long-distance pipeline 200. The first heat exchange unit 300, the second heat exchange unit 500 and the third heat exchange unit 700 are all finned heat exchangers. A drain valve 1000 is arranged on the long-distance pipeline 200 for discharging condensed water. Condensed water drain pipes 800 are arranged on the first heat exchange unit 300 and the second heat exchange unit 500, and water return pumps 900 are arranged on the condensed water drain pipes 800. The long-distance pipeline 200 is arranged obliquely. The heat source medium of the first flash evaporation unit 100 is desulfurization slurry.
[0028] Compared with Example 1, the second heat exchange unit 500 is added in this embodiment to realize independent preheating of secondary boiler inlet air, and a hierarchical heating system is formed with the first heat exchange unit 300, so as to optimize the boiler combustion air distribution and improve the overall thermal efficiency.
[0029] Working process:
[0030] Desulfurization slurry flash evaporation stage: desulfurization slurry at 65℃ enters the first flash evaporation unit 100 through a slurry inlet, and steam waste gas at 60℃ is generated by flash evaporation under negative pressure. The unevaporated slurry returns to the desulfurization system through a drain port and continues to participate in the circulation.
[0031] Steam pressurization and long-distance transportation: after being pressurized by the booster unit 400, the steam waste gas is transported to the remote heat exchange unit through the long-distance pipeline 200. The third heat exchange unit 700 supplements heat to the steam in the pipeline to maintain stable temperature and reduce condensation.
[0032] The boiler air inlet is heated in stages: primary air inlet heating: fresh air enters the first heat exchange unit 300 through the first fresh air inlet 310, and after heat exchange with steam, enters the air preheater 600 through the first heated air outlet 320. Secondary air inlet heating: another path of fresh air enters the second heat exchange unit 500 through the second air inlet 510, and after heating, enters the air preheater 600 through the second heated air outlet 520.
[0033] Condensate recovery and system maintenance: The condensate produced by the heat exchange unit is discharged through the drain pipe 800 and the drain pump 900 for recycling. The long conveying pipeline 200 is arranged obliquely, and the drain valve 1000 periodically discharges the condensate in the pipeline to ensure smooth conveying.
