Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of gas heating technology, and more specifically, to a gas heating device for a gas-fired boiler. Background Technology
[0002] A boiler is an energy conversion device. The energy input to a boiler includes the chemical energy of fuel and electrical energy. The boiler outputs steam, high-temperature water, or organic heat carriers with a certain amount of thermal energy. Gas boilers are a type of boiler. During the operation of a gas boiler, after the ambient temperature gas enters the boiler, it requires more energy to heat up to the temperature required for combustion due to its low temperature. This leads to a decrease in combustion efficiency. The decrease in combustion efficiency not only increases fuel consumption but also increases the operating cost of the boiler.
[0003] Gas-fired boilers release heat after burning fuel. Some of this heat is supplied to users, some is recovered and reused, and some is wasted unintentionally. The flue gas discharged from the boiler also carries some heat into the atmosphere, resulting in flue gas heat loss, which is the largest heat loss among all boiler components and increases the boiler's operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a gas boiler gas heating device that uses waste heat from flue gas to heat the gas, reduces flue gas temperature loss, improves boiler thermal efficiency while increasing gas temperature, reduces heat absorption of gas in the boiler, shortens ignition time, improves combustion stability, and reduces boiler operating costs.
[0005] This application provides a gas boiler gas heating device, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A gas boiler gas heating device includes a heater body, which includes an upper shell, a lower shell, a partition, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes. The upper shell is provided with a gas inlet pipe and a gas outlet pipe, and the lower shell is provided with a flue gas inlet pipe and a flue gas outlet pipe. The partition is disposed between the upper shell and the lower shell, and the heat exchange tubes are disposed on the partition. The upper end of the heat exchange tube is located inside the upper shell, and the lower end of the heat exchange tube is located inside the lower shell.
[0007] Preferably, the heat exchange tube is provided with a plurality of fins.
[0008] Preferably, the heat exchange tube is welded and fixed to the partition plate.
[0009] Preferably, both the upper housing and the lower housing are provided with a heat insulation layer on their exterior.
[0010] Preferably, both the upper housing and the lower housing are equipped with acoustic soot blowers.
[0011] Preferably, both the upper housing and the lower housing are provided with manhole doors.
[0012] Preferably, both the upper housing and the lower housing are provided with drain ports.
[0013] Preferably, temperature sensors are installed on the gas inlet pipe, the gas outlet pipe, the flue gas inlet pipe, and the flue gas outlet pipe.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0015] This application has the advantages of simple structure and good heat exchange effect. It consists of an upper shell, a lower shell, and heat exchange tubes. High-temperature flue gas is introduced into the lower shell, and coal gas is introduced into the upper shell. The high-temperature flue gas heats the heat exchange medium inside the heat exchange tubes after contacting them. The heat exchange medium absorbs heat and vaporizes into steam. Under a small pressure difference, the flue gas rises to the upper end of the heat exchange tubes. The coal gas then cools the steam inside the heat exchange tubes after contacting them. The steam condenses into liquid upon contact with the condensate. The condensate flows back along the tube wall to the lower end of the heat exchange tubes under gravity and is reheated. Vaporization, in this continuous cycle, transfers heat from the lower end to the upper end of the heat exchange tubes. Since the entire heat exchange process takes place inside the heater body, heat loss is reduced and heat exchange efficiency is improved. Furthermore, due to phase change heat transfer, heat transfer can be easily enhanced, achieving a larger heat exchange rate with a smaller temperature difference. This allows for full utilization of waste heat from the flue gas, reduces exhaust gas temperature loss, improves boiler thermal efficiency, increases fuel gas temperature, reduces heat absorption of the fuel gas in the boiler, shortens ignition time, improves combustion stability, and reduces boiler operating costs.

[0026] Example
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the gas boiler gas heating device includes a heater body 1. The heater body 1 includes an upper shell 2, a lower shell 3, a partition 4, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 5. A gas inlet pipe 6 and a gas outlet pipe 7 are provided on the upper shell 2. A flue gas inlet pipe 8 and a flue gas outlet pipe 9 are provided on the lower shell 3. The partition 4 is provided between the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3. The heat exchange tubes 5 are provided on the partition 4. The upper end of the heat exchange tube 5 is located inside the upper shell 2, and the lower end of the heat exchange tube 5 is located inside the lower shell 3. A liquid heat exchange medium is provided inside the heat exchange tube 5.
[0028] In operation, high-temperature flue gas is introduced into the lower shell 3 through the flue gas inlet pipe 8, and coal gas is introduced into the upper shell 2 through the flue gas outlet pipe 9. The high-temperature flue gas heats the heat exchange medium inside the heat exchange tubes 5 upon contact with them. The liquid heat exchange medium absorbs heat and vaporizes into steam. Under a small pressure difference, the flue gas rises to the upper end of the heat exchange tubes 5. The coal gas then cools the steam inside the heat exchange tubes 5 upon contact with them. The steam condenses into liquid upon contact with the condensate. Under the influence of gravity, the condensate flows back along the tube wall to the lower end of the heat exchange tubes 5 and is heated and vaporized again. This cycle repeats continuously, transferring heat from the heat exchange tubes to the lower shell 5. The lower end of tube 5 is connected to the upper end of heat exchange tube 5. Since the entire heat exchange process takes place inside the heater body 1, heat loss is reduced and heat exchange efficiency is improved. Furthermore, due to phase change heat transfer, heat transfer can be easily enhanced, achieving a larger heat exchange rate with a smaller temperature difference. This allows for full utilization of waste heat from the flue gas, reduces exhaust gas temperature loss, improves boiler thermal efficiency, increases gas temperature, reduces heat absorption of the gas in the boiler, shortens ignition time, improves combustion stability, and reduces boiler operating costs. The gas after heat exchange is discharged through gas outlet pipe 7, and the flue gas after heat exchange is discharged through flue gas outlet pipe 9.
[0029] In this embodiment, the heat exchange tube 5 is provided with a number of fins 10. The heat exchange fins 10 can increase the contact area between the heat exchange tube 5 and the gas, and between the heat exchange tube 5 and the flue gas, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.
[0030] In this embodiment, the heat exchange tube 5 is welded to the partition plate 4. The welding method is beneficial to effectively seal the hot and cold fluids, so that the hot and cold fluids do not leak from each other.
[0031] In this embodiment, both the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 are provided with heat insulation layers on their exteriors. The heat insulation layers can reduce the heat loss inside the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3, thereby improving the heat utilization rate.
[0032] In this embodiment, both the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 are equipped with acoustic soot blowers 11. The acoustic soot blower 11 on the upper shell 2 is used to clean the part of the heat exchange tube 5 located inside the upper shell 2, and the acoustic soot blower 11 on the lower shell 3 is used to clean the part of the heat exchange tube 5 located inside the lower shell 3, removing the floating dust on the surface of the heat exchange tube 5 to prevent it from affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube 5.
[0033] In this embodiment, both the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 are provided with manhole doors 12. The manhole doors 12 facilitate on-site assembly of the equipment and use during shutdown maintenance.
[0034] In this embodiment, both the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 are provided with a drain port 13. The drain port 13 on the upper housing 2 is connected to a drain pipeline. A drain valve is provided on the drain pipeline. The drain valve is in a normally open state and is located in a position that is easy to operate and maintain. The drain pipeline is gradually lowered and has a certain slope. The drain port 13 on the lower housing 3 is used to periodically drain the lower housing 3.
[0035] In this embodiment, temperature sensors 14 are installed on the gas inlet pipe 6, the gas outlet pipe 7, the flue gas inlet pipe 8, and the flue gas outlet pipe 9. The temperature of the gas inside the gas inlet pipe 6 and the gas outlet pipe 7 is detected by the corresponding temperature sensors 14, and the temperature of the flue gas inside the flue gas inlet pipe 8 and the flue gas outlet pipe 9 is detected by the corresponding temperature sensors 14.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
