Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of thermal power generation equipment, specifically to a flue gas moisture recovery device for thermal power plants. Background Technology

[0002] A thermal power plant, also known as a coal-fired power plant, is a factory that uses combustible materials (such as coal, oil, and natural gas) as fuel to produce electricity. The basic production process of a thermal power plant involves burning combustible materials to heat water, which generates steam. This converts the chemical energy of the fuel into thermal energy. The steam pressure drives the turbine to rotate, converting the thermal energy into mechanical energy. The turbine then drives the generator to rotate, converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Cooling towers are unique equipment in thermal power plants. Their main function is to facilitate the heat exchange between the circulating water in the turbine and the air, thereby cooling and dissipating heat from the production equipment. During this process, heat is released with the steam at the cooling tower outlet and condenses into white water vapor in the air. The main component of the gas emitted from the cooling tower is water vapor.

[0003] Cooling towers cool equipment by evaporating heat, but a large amount of water evaporates into the air, causing water consumption inside the cooling tower and wasting water resources. Therefore, flue gas moisture recovery devices in thermal power plants are needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0009] The inner side of the water receiving tank is connected to a drain pipe, and the drain pipe is connected to the inside of the water receiving tank.

[0010] The inner wall of the flow hood is connected to a support frame, the lower surface of the support frame is connected to an ear seat, and the inner wall of the ear seat is connected to the outer surface of the coil.

[0011] The outer surface of the coil is connected to multiple fins, and the multiple fins are arranged in a circular array.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model discloses a flue gas moisture recovery device for thermal power plants. Through the cooperation of a concentrator, coil, water collection hood, and water collection trough, the concentrator encloses the flue gas to prevent leakage to the outside. The coil cools the flue gas, causing it to form water droplets. The water collection hood guides these water droplets, while the hood allows flue gas to pass through through its vents. The water collection hood then guides the water droplets into the water collection trough, where they are collected and reused. This reduces the water consumption of the cooling tower, minimizes water waste, and improves the utilization rate of water resources.

[0014] The flue gas moisture recovery device of this utility model uses the cooperation between the coil and the fins.

The inside of the base 2 is equipped with a water collection tank 5, and the water collection tank 5 is located below the water collection hood 3. A coil 6 is provided above the water collection hood 3. The outer surface of the coil 6 is connected with multiple fins 14, and the multiple fins 14 are arranged in a circular array. The coil 6 increases the contact area with the flue gas through the fins 14, thereby improving the collection effect of the flue gas. The flue gas passes through the vent hole 4 inside the water collection hood 3 and comes into contact with the coil 6. The water collection hood 3 guides the water droplets into the water collection tank 5. The coil 6 is used to guide cold water, and the cold water flows inside the coil 6. At the same time, the cold water maintains the temperature of the coil 6, keeping the coil 6 at a low temperature.

[0026] The top of the flow hood 1 is connected to an exhaust pipe 7, and the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 7 is connected to a mounting bracket 15. An exhaust fan 8 is installed inside the mounting bracket 15. The exhaust pipe 7 is used to discharge the treated flue gas, the mounting bracket 15 provides support for the exhaust fan 8 to maintain the stability of the exhaust fan 8, and the exhaust fan 8 is used as a power source to provide power for the flow of flue gas inside the flow hood 1.

[0027] There are multiple vent holes 4, and the multiple vent holes 4 are arranged in a circular array. The water collection cover 3 has a conical shape that gradually decreases in size from bottom to top. The water collection cover 3 is an inclined disc with multiple layers stacked together. The air generated between the discs forms vent holes 4. The flue gas inside the cooling tower passes through the vent holes 4 and is cooled after contacting the coil 6. The cooled flue gas forms water droplets, which fall onto the surface of the water collection cover 3. The inclined angle of the water collection cover 3 facilitates the downward flow of water droplets into the water collection tank 5.

[0028] The inner wall of the flow-concentrating cover 1 is connected to multiple first support legs 9, and the multiple first support legs 9 are arranged in a circular array. One side of the multiple first support legs 9 is connected to the bottom end of the water-receiving cover 3. The first support legs 9 provide support for the flow-concentrating cover 1 and maintain the stability of the flow-concentrating cover 1.

[0029] The inner wall of the base 2 is connected to multiple second support legs 10, which are arranged in a circular array. The upper surface of the second support legs 10 is connected to the lower surface of the water receiving tank 5. The second support legs 10 provide support for the water receiving tank 5 and maintain its stability. The second support legs 10 distribute the support force around the water receiving tank 5, providing more stable support for the water receiving tank 5.

[0030] A drain pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the water receiving tank 5, and the drain pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the water receiving tank 5. The water collected inside the water receiving tank 5 is guided through the drain pipe 11 and discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 11. The water is then collected and reused.

[0031] The inner wall of the concentrator shroud 1 is connected to a support frame 12, and the lower surface of the support frame 12 is connected to an ear seat 13.

The support frame 12 supports the coil 6 through the ear seat 13 to maintain the stability of the coil 6.

[0032] Working principle: First, start the exhaust fan 8, then make the water inside the coil 6 flow. When the water flows, the coil 6 is in a low temperature state. After the exhaust fan 8 starts, it drives the flue gas to flow upward. Then the flowing flue gas enters the concentrator hood 1 through the vent 4. Then the flue gas comes into contact with the fins 14 and the coil 6. When the flue gas is in low temperature due to the coil 6 and the fins 14, it condenses into water droplets. Then the water droplets drip down to the surface of the water collection hood 3. After the water droplets drip down the surface of the water collection hood 3, they flow downward and enter the water collection tank 5. Then the water droplets are discharged through the drain pipe 11. The discharged water is collected and reused.
