Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boiler technology, specifically to a dual-fuel boiler for pulverized coal and natural gas. Background Technology
[0002] A pulverized coal boiler is a commonly used energy conversion device. Its working principle is to input pulverized coal into the boiler and then burn the pulverized coal to output heat energy.
[0003] A natural gas boiler is a heat energy conversion device that uses natural gas as fuel, and the heat released from burning natural gas in the furnace heats the water in the boiler and vaporizes it into steam.
[0004] The two types of boilers that use a single fuel cannot meet the market demand for boilers in actual use, thus limiting the market promotion and application of boilers. In view of this, this utility model provides a dual-fuel boiler that uses pulverized coal and natural gas. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of existing technologies, the inventors, based on their extensive experience in the boiler field, developed a dual-fuel boiler that can operate on pulverized coal and natural gas.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pulverized coal and natural gas dual-fuel boiler, comprising an upper cylinder, a burner head, a furnace, and a lower cylinder. The furnace is located below the upper cylinder, and the burner head is connected to the left side of the furnace. The lower cylinder is located below the furnace. A distribution platform is provided on the right side inside the furnace, and the distribution platform is connected to a compressed air pipe. The compressed air pipe extends through the furnace to the right and connects to a compressed air tank.
[0007] Furthermore, a first pressure gauge is installed on the top left side of the upper cylinder. A first safety valve is installed to the right of the first pressure gauge. A main steam valve is installed to the right of the first safety valve. An auxiliary steam valve is installed to the right of the main steam valve. A second safety valve is installed to the right of the auxiliary steam valve. A second pressure gauge is installed to the right of the second safety valve. When the main steam valve malfunctions, steam can be temporarily supplied through the auxiliary steam valve. Simultaneously, the main steam valve should be repaired as soon as possible.
[0008] Furthermore, a level gauge for observing the liquid level in the upper cylinder is provided on the left side of the upper cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, a natural gas pipe is connected to the left side of the burner head, and a natural gas self-control valve is installed on the natural gas pipe. A pulverized coal pipe is connected to the top of the burner head, and a pulverized coal pipe self-control valve is installed on the pulverized coal pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, a dosing pipe is located on the left side of the upper cylinder, below the level gauge, and a first drain pipe is located at the bottom right side of the upper cylinder. The chemical in the dosing pipe is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Adding appropriate amounts of this chemical to the boiler can prevent scale formation.
[0011] Furthermore, a second drain pipe is provided at the bottom left side of the lower cylinder, and a third drain pipe is provided at the bottom right side of the lower cylinder.
[0012] Furthermore, the distribution table is provided with a plurality of nozzles, which are connected to the distribution table by threads.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The combustion lamp head of this utility model adopts an integrated dual-fuel design and is equipped with two sets of valve groups, which can burn pulverized coal, natural gas, or a mixture of the two fuels.
[0015] 2. A distribution platform is installed on the right side inside the furnace. The distribution platform is connected to a compressed air pipe, which extends through the furnace to the right and connects to a compressed air tank. Compressed air is blown into the furnace through the distribution platform, allowing the pulverized coal to burn completely and effectively improving combustion efficiency.
[0016] 3. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can effectively solve the shortcomings of the existing technology, meet the needs of the boiler market, and create better economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0029] In this embodiment, a dosing pipe 9 is provided on the left side of the upper cylinder 1, and the dosing pipe 9 is located below the level gauge 8. A first drain pipe 10 is provided at the bottom right side of the upper cylinder 1. The chemical in the dosing pipe 9 is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

[0030] In this embodiment, a second drain pipe 11 is provided at the bottom left side of the lower cylinder 13, and a third drain pipe 12 is provided at the bottom right side of the lower cylinder 13.
[0031] In this embodiment, the distribution table 23 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 22, and the nozzles 22 are connected to the distribution table 23 by threads. Example
[0032] In practical use, the natural gas automatic control valve 18 on the natural gas pipe 17 is first opened, while the pulverized coal pipe automatic control valve 16 on the pulverized coal pipe 15 is closed. The natural gas is burned in the furnace 24 through the burner head 14, and the heat generated can boil the water in the upper cylinder 1 and the lower cylinder 13.

The heat generated can boil the water in the upper cylinder 1 and the lower cylinder 13. The generated steam is transported to the next process through the main steam valve 4. When the pulverized coal is burning in the furnace 24, the compressed air automatic control valve 21 can be opened. Compressed air enters the furnace 24 through the distribution platform 23, thereby enabling the pulverized coal to burn completely. Example
[0034] First, open the natural gas automatic control valve 18 on the natural gas pipe 17, controlling its opening degree to 30%. The natural gas passes through the burner head 14 and burns in the furnace 24. Simultaneously, slowly open the pulverized coal pipe automatic control valve 16 on the pulverized coal pipe 15, controlling its opening degree according to the boiler's steam production volume, generally between 20% and 40%. At this time, the natural gas and pulverized coal mix and burn in the furnace 24. The heat generated can boil the water in the upper cylinder 1 and lower cylinder 13, and the generated steam is transported to the next process through the main steam valve 4.
[0035] When the boiler needs maintenance, the first drain pipe 10, the second drain pipe 11 and the third drain pipe 12 should be opened in advance to drain the hot water in the upper cylinder 1 and the lower cylinder 13. After ensuring safety, maintenance work can be carried out.
