[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0033] This application discloses a steam-air preheater.
[0034] Reference Figure 1A steam-air preheater includes a base 1, on which a shell 2 is fixedly connected. An air inlet hood 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the shell 2, and an air outlet hood 22 is fixedly connected to the other end. Multiple heat exchange tubes (not shown in the figure) are installed inside the shell 2. Multiple steam pipes 23 connected to the shell 2 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the outer surface of the shell 2. A gas processing box 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the air inlet hood 21 away from the shell 2. A filter plate 4 is provided inside the gas processing box 3. The filter plate 4 has multiple filter holes 41 for intercepting solid impurities.
[0035] When the preheater is working, gas enters the interior from the air inlet of the gas handling box 3. As the gas passes through the filter holes 41 on the filter plate 4, solid impurities in the gas are blocked on the side of the filter plate 4 near the air inlet. The filtered gas exchanges heat with the high-temperature steam in the steam pipe 23 in the heat exchange tube of the shell 2. After the gas is heated to the specified temperature, it is discharged from the air outlet hood 22. The high-temperature steam condenses into condensate and is discharged from the water outlet of the steam pipe 23. In the entire heat exchange process, because the gas passes through the filter plate 4, the content of solid impurities in the gas is reduced, and the possibility of particulate impurities adhering to the inner wall of the heat exchange tube and causing poor heat exchange effect is reduced, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A water collection tank 5 is fixedly installed on the base 1. The water collection tank 5 is connected to the outlet of the steam pipe 23. When the high-temperature steam condenses into condensate, the condensate flows along the steam pipe 23 and eventually collects in the water collection tank 5. A water supply pipe 6 is installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank 5. A water pump 61 is installed on the water supply pipe 6. One end of the water supply pipe 6 passes through the side wall of the gas treatment box 3 and extends into the interior. The end of the water supply pipe 6 is connected to an outlet pipe 7. The length direction of the outlet pipe 7 is perpendicular to the flow direction of the gas. Multiple nozzles 71 are evenly distributed on the outlet pipe 7. The water outlet direction of the nozzles 71 is set towards the filter plate 4.
[0037] Under the action of water pump 61, condensate flows along water supply pipe 6 to water outlet pipe 7 and is sprayed from nozzle 71 onto filter plate 4. When the water flows through filter hole 41, the water flow washes out the impurities that are firmly attached to the filter hole 41 from the filter plate 4, thereby reducing the possibility of the filter hole 41 being blocked by firmly attached impurities, thereby increasing the gas concentration entering the shell 2 per unit time and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and 2The water outlet pipe 7 is slidably installed inside the gas treatment box 3. Connecting blocks 72 are fixedly installed at both the upper and lower ends of the water outlet pipe 7. The top of the gas treatment box 3 is rotatably connected to the screw 8. The connecting block 72 near the screw 8 is threadedly connected to the screw 8. The bottom of the gas treatment box 3 is provided with a sliding groove 31. The connecting block 72 near the sliding groove 31 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 31. A motor 32 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gas treatment box 3. The output shaft of the motor 32 extends into the gas treatment box 3 and is fixedly connected to the screw 8.
[0039] After the operator starts the motor 32, the screw 8 rotates, thereby driving the connecting block 72 to move along the length of the screw 8. The connecting block 72 carries the water outlet pipe 7 and moves on the surface of the filter plate 4. During the movement of the water outlet pipe 7, the filter plate 4 is thoroughly cleaned.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 The bottom surface of the gas treatment box 3 is provided with a diversion groove 33, which is located on the side of the filter plate 4 near the air inlet of the gas treatment box 3. A dust collection box 34 that is connected to the diversion groove 33 is slidably provided on the bottom surface of the gas treatment box 3.
[0041] Guided by the diversion channel 33, the impurities on the filter plate 4 are washed by the condensate and then collected in the ash collection box 34. The operator can pull out the ash collection box 34 to collect and process the washed-off impurities, so as to avoid the accumulation of impurities at the bottom of the gas treatment box 3 and affect the subsequent air intake.
[0042] Reference Figure 3 An opening 51 is provided on the outer side wall of the water collection tank 5. A filter plate 9 is slidably connected in the opening 51. A groove 52 communicating with the opening 51 is provided on the opposite side wall of the water collection tank 5. A protrusion 91 corresponding to the groove 52 is fixedly connected to the opposite outer side wall of the filter plate 9. The protrusion 91 is slidably connected in the groove 52. A handle 92 is fixedly connected to one end of the filter plate 9.
[0043] The filter plate 9 in the water collection tank 5 can effectively filter impurities in the condensate, reducing the impurity content of the condensate used to clean the filter plate 4, thus ensuring the cleaning effect of the condensate on the filter plate 4 and preventing the accumulation of impurities on the filter plate 4. When there are too many impurities on the filter plate 9, the operator can pull the handle 92 to pull the filter plate 9 out of the water collection tank 5 for cleaning or replacement, thus avoiding the situation where the filter plate 9 is blocked and the condensate storage volume is reduced, and ensuring the cleaning effect of the condensate on the filter plate 4.
[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5A mounting frame 35 is fixedly connected inside the gas treatment box 3. The filter plate 4 is slidably disposed inside the mounting frame 35. A dust-removing assembly 10 is disposed inside the gas treatment box 3. Specifically, the dust-removing assembly 10 includes a cam 101 rotatably disposed inside the gas treatment box 3. One end of the cam 101 abuts against a connecting plate 102. The connecting plate 102 is fixedly mounted on the filter plate 4. A plurality of springs 103 are disposed inside the mounting frame 35. One end of the spring 103 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 35, and the other end is fixedly connected to the filter plate 4.
[0045] The gas handling box 3 is equipped with a drive assembly 11. Specifically, the drive assembly 11 includes a first bevel gear 111 fixedly connected to the screw 8, a second bevel gear 112 meshing on the first bevel gear 111, and the second bevel gear 112 fixedly connected to the rotation shaft of the cam 101.
[0046] Initially, the protruding end of cam 101 abuts against connecting plate 102, and spring 103 is compressed. When the operator starts motor 32, screw 8 rotates, driving first bevel gear 111 to rotate, which in turn drives second bevel gear 112 to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of cam 101. When the protruding end of cam 101 moves away from connecting plate 102, under the elastic force of spring 103, filter plate 4 moves away from spring 103. When the protruding end of cam 101 rotates again to abut against connecting plate 102... When the filter plate 4 moves toward the direction of the spring 103 and compresses the spring 103, the filter plate 4 moves left and right within the mounting frame 35. During the movement, the filter plate 4 itself vibrates, causing the impurities that are not firmly adsorbed on the filter plate 4 to be shaken off and fall into the bottom of the gas treatment box 3. This reduces the possibility of impurities accumulating on the filter holes 41 and prevents the gas from carrying the impurities that are not firmly adsorbed into the interior of the shell 2 when passing through the filter holes 41. This further reduces the impurity content in the gas and improves the heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater.
[0047] The implementation principle of a steam-air preheater according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When the preheater is working, gas enters the interior from the air inlet of the gas handling box 3. When the gas passes through the filter holes 41 on the filter plate 4, solid impurities in the gas are blocked on the side of the filter plate 4 near the air inlet. The filtered gas exchanges heat with the high-temperature steam in the steam pipe 23 in the heat exchange tube of the shell 2. After the gas is heated to a specified temperature, it is discharged from the air outlet hood 22. The high-temperature steam condenses into condensate and is discharged from the water outlet of the steam pipe 23. In the entire heat exchange process, because the gas passes through the filter plate 4, the content of solid impurities in the gas becomes lower, and the possibility of particulate impurities adhering to the inner wall of the heat exchange tube and causing poor heat exchange effect is reduced, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air preheater.
[0048] When condensate accumulates inside the water collection tank 5, the water pump 61 and motor 32 are started. The condensate is sprayed from the nozzle 71 of the outlet pipe 7 through the water supply pipe 6 onto the filter plate 4. Driven by the motor 32, the screw 8 rotates, causing the outlet pipe 7 to move along the surface of the filter plate 4, thus achieving a thorough rinsing of the filter plate 4. At the same time, the rotation of the screw 8 also drives the first bevel gear 111 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 112 to rotate. The second bevel gear 112 drives the cam 101 to rotate. The cam 101, in conjunction with the reset action of the spring 103, enables the filter plate 4 to move left and right within the mounting frame 35. During the movement, impurities adhering to the filter plate 4 are shaken off. The impurities shaken off and washed away are finally collected in the dust collection box 34. When there are too many impurities in the dust collection box 34, the operator can remove the dust collection box 34 to remove the impurities.
[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
