Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy recovery technology, and in particular to a device for recovering and utilizing waste heat from a furnace. Background Technology
[0002] The high temperature of the flue gas emitted from the stove results in a significant waste of heat energy. To address this issue, existing technology (publication number CN220135496U) discloses a water tank for chimney waste heat recovery and an oven with the same. By absorbing the waste heat from the flue gas, the greenhouse effect is reduced. Furthermore, the water in the tank, after being heated, can be used for cleaning kitchen floors, dishes, etc., making it more environmentally friendly.
[0003] However, the water tank for waste heat recovery from the chimney disclosed above still has the following technical problems during use: because its flue pipe is set as a straight pipe with a uniform diameter, the flue gas goes straight through and does not stay in the flue pipe for long, so the heating efficiency of the water tank is generally low, and the water in the tank generally needs to be heated for a long time before it can be used. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a furnace waste heat recovery and utilization device.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve its technical objective is as follows: a furnace waste heat recovery and utilization device, comprising an inner liner, an insulation shell, a flue pipe, and water inlets and outlets. The insulation shell is fixedly wrapped around the outside of the inner liner. The flue pipe passes through and connects the inner liner and the insulation shell. The portion of the flue pipe inside the inner liner is configured as a straight, conical, hollow tube structure, forming a sealed cavity with the inner liner. The water inlets and outlets are connected to the cavity and are fixedly located inside the insulation shell. Water is introduced into the cavity through the water inlets and outlets. The flue gas from the furnace heats the water in the cavity through the flue pipe, and the insulation shell serves to keep the water in the cavity warm.
[0006] Preferably, the flue includes a thick pipe, a trumpet-shaped pipe, a thin pipe, and a connecting pipe;
[0007] The thick tube, the trumpet tube, and the thin tube are sequentially fixed and connected to form a conical hollow tube structure, which is then fixedly installed in the inner liner. The connecting tube is fixedly connected to the thick tube and the thin tube respectively, and is also fixedly connected to the heat insulation shell.
[0008] Preferably, a heat-conducting rod is fixedly connected through the interior of the thicker pipe, with both ends of the heat-conducting rod extending into the cavity. When flue gas passes through the flue pipe, the heat-conducting rod serves two purposes: firstly, it blocks and slows down the flow rate of the flue gas, prolonging its residence time in the thicker section of the flue pipe; secondly, the heat-conducting rod is heated by the flue gas, and the temperature is then transferred to the cavity through its two ends, thereby assisting in heating the water in the cavity and improving heating efficiency.
[0009] Preferably, the conical hollow tube structure has the same length as the cavity of the inner liner 1, wherein the length of the thick tube 301 accounts for 1 / 3 of the cavity length of the inner liner 1, the length of the flared tube 302 accounts for 1 / 30 of the cavity length of the inner liner 1, and the remaining proportion of the cavity length is the proportion of the length of the thin tube 303. The total cavity length of the conical hollow tube structure and the inner liner 1 is set to 900 mm, wherein the length of the thick tube 301 is 300 mm, the length of the flared tube 302 is 30 mm, and the length of the thin tube 303 is 570 mm.
[0010] Preferably, the thick pipe, the thin pipe, and the connecting pipe are all circular pipes. The diameter of the connecting pipe is 104 mm, the diameter of the thick pipe is 133 mm, and the diameter of the thin pipe is 89 mm. The thicker end of the trumpet-shaped pipe has a diameter of 104 mm and is connected to the thick pipe, while the thinner end has a diameter of 89 mm and is connected to the thin pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the system also includes a drain outlet, a water control valve, a pressure relief valve, and a temperature and water level gauge. These components are all connected to the cavity and fixedly located within the insulation shell. When the interior of the inner tank needs cleaning or complete drainage, the liquid in the inner tank is completely drained by opening the drain outlet. The water control valve controls the amount of water stored in the inner tank cavity. The pressure relief valve releases heat from the inner tank cavity during water heating to prevent pressure overload. The temperature and water level gauge monitors the temperature and water level of the water in the inner tank cavity in real time; the water level monitoring can be used in conjunction with the water control valve.
[0012] Preferably, the portion of the flue pipe inside the inner liner is configured as a bent, conical, hollow tube structure.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This waste heat recovery device for a furnace uses a conical hollow tube structure for the flue pipe. The flue pipe includes a thick tube, a trumpet tube, a thin tube, and a connecting tube. The connecting tube is used to connect to the furnace opening. The thick tube can accumulate more flue gas heat, resulting in a larger temperature difference between the thick tube and the cavity, which is more conducive to heat transfer. The trumpet tube and the thin tube work together to promote the discharge of flue gas in the thick tube, which is conducive to the transport and exchange of cooled flue gas in the thick tube.
[0015] Furthermore, by setting up the heat-conducting rod, on the one hand, the flow speed of the flue gas can be blocked and slowed down, prolonging the residence time of the flue gas in the thicker part of the flue pipe. On the other hand, the heat-conducting rod can be heated by the flue gas, and then the temperature is transferred to the cavity through both ends of the heat-conducting rod, thereby playing a role in assisting in heating the water in the cavity and improving the heating efficiency.
[0016] This waste heat recovery and utilization device for the furnace is equipped with a drain outlet, a water control valve, a pressure relief valve, and a temperature and water level gauge. The drain outlet facilitates the discharge of wastewater after internal cleaning, while the water control valve, pressure relief valve, and temperature and water level gauge can monitor multiple data points of the entire device, increasing the safety of its use.
[0017] This waste heat recovery device can be used not only for washing vegetables and dishes in the kitchen during winter and for replacing electric water heaters for showering in the bathroom, but also for absorption and recycling in facilities such as underfloor heating and warm air systems. It effectively reduces the greenhouse effect, is more environmentally friendly, and can also save on the use of electric water heaters and gas stoves. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The insulation shell 2 is fixedly wrapped around the outside of the inner liner 1. The flue pipe 3 runs through and connects the inner liner 1 and the insulation shell 2. The part of the flue pipe 3 in the inner liner 1 is set as a straight cylindrical conical hollow tube structure, and a sealed cavity is formed between it and the inner liner 1. The inlet and outlet 4, the drain 5, the water control valve 6, the pressure relief valve 7 and the temperature level gauge 8 are all connected to the cavity and are fixed inside the insulation shell 2.
[0028] Water is introduced into the cavity through the inlet / outlet 4. The flue gas from the stove heats the water in the cavity through the flue pipe 3. The insulation shell 2 keeps the water in the cavity warm. When the inside of the inner tank 1 needs to be cleaned or the water needs to be completely drained, the liquid in the inner tank 1 is completely drained by opening the drain port 5. The water control valve 6 controls the amount of water stored in the inner tank 1 cavity. The pressure relief valve 7 is used to release the heat energy in the inner tank 1 cavity when the water is heated to avoid pressure overload. The temperature and water level gauge 8 monitors the water temperature and water level in the inner tank 1 cavity in real time. The water level monitoring can be used in conjunction with the water control valve 6.
[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flue pipe 3 includes a thick pipe 301, a trumpet pipe 302, a thin pipe 303, and a connecting pipe 304; the thick pipe 301, the trumpet pipe 302, and the thin pipe 303 are sequentially fixed and connected to form a conical hollow pipe structure and then fixedly installed in the inner liner 1.
