[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment discloses an indirect recovery and desulfurization water balance system for waste heat from flue gas in a coal-fired power plant, including a flue gas desulfurization system, a slurry heat exchanger 4, and a cooling water circulation system. The output end of the flue gas desulfurization system is connected to the first inlet of the slurry heat exchanger, the first outlet of the slurry heat exchanger is connected to the input end of the flue gas desulfurization system, the output end of the second inlet cooling water circulation system of the slurry heat exchanger is connected, and the second outlet of the slurry heat exchanger is connected to the input end of the cooling water circulation system. The end of the second inlet cooling water circulation system is located in a heating water pump room 9. A second valve 8 is installed on this pipeline to control the flow rate of water entering the heating water pump room. During normal use, this valve is a normally open valve. The circulating water after returning water and replenishing water from the heating water pump room is transported to the slurry heat exchanger by a booster pump 17.

[0018] Furthermore, the flue gas desulfurization system includes a desulfurization tower 2, an induced draft fan 1 connected to the input end of the desulfurization tower, a slurry spraying system installed inside the desulfurization tower, a first inlet of the slurry heat exchanger connected to the bottom of the desulfurization tower, a slurry circulation pump 5 installed between the desulfurization tower and the first inlet of the slurry heat exchanger, and a first outlet of the slurry heat exchanger connected to the upper part of the desulfurization tower and connected to the slurry spraying system.

[0019] In this embodiment, the slurry heat exchanger can be a plate heat exchanger.

[0020] The second inlet of the slurry heat exchanger is located above the heat exchanger, and the second outlet is located below the heat exchanger. As an optional implementation, in this application, a slurry heat exchanger is used for heat exchange. During the circulation process, the slurry temperature drops, resulting in a reduction in the evaporation rate inside the desulfurization tower and making it difficult to control the liquid level. The circulation rate is controlled by adjusting the output of the slurry circulation pump 5.

[0021] Furthermore, the flue gas output end of the desulfurization tower is connected to the chimney 3.

[0022] Furthermore, the pipeline between the second outlet of the slurry heat exchanger and the main pipeline of the heating water pump room serves as the main heating water pipeline, to which system branch pipelines 6 are connected. A first valve 7 is installed on the pipeline connecting the system branch pipeline and the main heating water pipeline. The system branch pipelines specifically constitute the return water system of each unit. The number of return water pipelines varies depending on the unit. Of course, a check valve is installed at the front end and / or rear end of the first valve 7 to prevent water that has undergone heat exchange in the slurry heat exchanger from flowing back into the unit.

[0023] Furthermore, a sump 13 is installed on the pipeline between the output end of the heating water pump room and the second inlet of the slurry heat exchanger, and the booster pump is installed on the pipeline between the sump and the second inlet of the slurry heat exchanger. The sump can also be connected to other pipelines (not shown in the figure) besides this system, and can be adjusted according to the actual production situation, such as the plant demister flushing or limestone slurry preparation pipeline, as part of the water recycling.

[0024] Furthermore, the water source for the heating water pump room also includes a heating water return pipe, and a third valve 10 is installed on the heating water return pipe. The third valve has a preset opening degree in normal state, and the third valve adjusts the return water flow based on the water flow in the heating water pump room.

[0025] One branch of the heating water return pipeline is directly connected to the sump, and the output pipeline of the heating water pump house is also connected to the sump. A fourth valve 11 is installed on the pipeline connecting the heating water return pipeline and the sump, and a fifth valve 12 is installed on the pipeline connecting the output pipeline of the heating water pump house and the sump. The output water flow of the heating water pump house is regulated by the fourth valve 11 and the fifth valve 12. When the water in the sump is used excessively by other systems, such as the aforementioned plant demister flushing or the limestone slurry preparation pipeline in a short period of time, the opening of the fourth valve 11 is increased to replenish the system water in real time.

[0026] Furthermore, the pipeline flowing into the sump also includes at least one system branch pipeline, with a sixth valve 15 installed between the system branch pipeline and the pipeline flowing into the sump. The system branch pipeline mentioned here is an additional water supply system 14, such as the condensate system outlet water from the unit's chimney and flue, mechanical seal water from branch lines, paddle circulation pumps, agitators, etc., and cooling water for the oxidation blower bearings. This water itself has a certain flow rate and a relatively high overall cleanliness, and will not cause significant pollution to the pipeline. Under normal circumstances, this water is discharged. Collecting this water through the sump also enables the reuse of water resources.

[0027] Of course, at least one valve should be installed before and after the booster pump, such as the seventh valve 16 shown in the figure, to ensure that the water output of the system is limited during unit maintenance.

[0028] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, improvements can also be made to the pipeline between the desulfurization tower and the chimney by installing a flue gas heat exchanger 18 to further utilize the waste heat of the flue gas. The flue gas heat exchanger is a plate flue gas heat exchanger or a shell and tube flue gas heat exchanger. The water source for heating is the boiler feed water source 19. The heated water source is supplemented to the deaerator-to-boiler system 20, and then water with a certain amount of heat enters the boiler 21. Of course, valves can be installed on the pipeline in the above system as needed.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
