Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery and energy saving, and more specifically, to a novel industrial heat preservation furnace with waste heat recovery. Background Technology
[0002] The waste heat recovery function of the holding furnace is an energy-saving upgrade to the heat treatment system based on the current energy consumption status of production. It enables the cascade utilization of the heat energy emitted by the furnace and improves the overall thermal efficiency. Addressing the energy waste and large fluctuations in system heat load caused by the direct emission of high-temperature flue gas in traditional processes, a heat exchange device is added to use the waste heat from the flue gas for preheating combustion air or process water, reducing the exhaust gas temperature to a reasonable range. This also avoids thermal shock damage to refractory materials and unstable combustion caused by excessive temperature differences between hot and cold media in the furnace. A closed-loop heat recovery network is constructed using the existing exhaust ducts and control system, which is expected to improve thermal efficiency by 15%-20%. In the domestic market, this technology is particularly suitable for continuous heating furnaces in industries such as building materials, ceramics, and non-ferrous metal processing, playing a significant role in achieving green and low-carbon operation of process furnaces and reducing energy consumption per unit product. After implementing the waste heat recovery upgrade, the reduction in overall system energy consumption will directly translate into optimized production costs and reduced carbon emissions.
[0003] Therefore, this application provides a novel industrial heat preservation furnace with waste heat recovery to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel industrial heat preservation furnace with waste heat recovery. It can recover the heat emitted by the heat preservation furnace from the evaporator side of an ultra-high temperature air source heat pump and use it to heat the hot air from the condenser side for use in the waste heat recovery heat preservation furnace. This can reduce the shortened lifespan of heating equipment, increased system pressure, inefficient system operation, and increased energy consumption caused by excessively high temperatures. At the same time, the recovered heat can also be used in the heat preservation furnace, which has a certain energy-saving and emission-reduction effect.
[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a novel industrial heat preservation furnace with waste heat recovery, comprising an ultra-high temperature air source heat pump and a control cabinet. The ultra-high temperature air source heat pump is electrically connected to the control cabinet. A heat preservation furnace is provided at the outer end of the ultra-high temperature air source heat pump. A heat preservation furnace outlet pipe, a heat preservation furnace inlet pipe, and a smoke exhaust pipe are connected between the ultra-high temperature air source heat pump and the heat preservation furnace. A terminal exhaust pipe is installed at the upper end of the ultra-high temperature air source heat pump. A steam heat exchanger is embedded in the heat preservation furnace inlet pipe. This allows the heat emitted by the heat preservation furnace to be recovered from the evaporator side of the ultra-high temperature air source heat pump and used to heat the hot air from the condenser side for use in the waste heat recovery heat preservation furnace. This can reduce the shortened lifespan of heating equipment, increased system pressure, inefficient system operation, and increased energy consumption caused by excessively high temperatures. At the same time, the recovered heat can also be used in the heat preservation furnace, which has a certain energy-saving and emission-reduction effect.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the ultra-high temperature air source heat pump includes a heat pump evaporator and a heat pump condenser, a compressor is installed between the heat pump evaporator and the heat pump condenser, and an expansion valve, a filter and a liquid storage tank are installed between the heat pump evaporator and the heat pump condenser on the other side.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, temperature sensors are installed on the heat preservation furnace air outlet pipe, heat preservation furnace air inlet pipe, and smoke exhaust pipe.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, valves are installed on both the air outlet pipe and the air inlet pipe of the heat preservation furnace.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a fan and a filter are installed on both the air outlet pipe and the smoke exhaust pipe of the heat preservation furnace.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. This device utilizes the heat dissipated by the insulation furnace on the evaporator side of an ultra-high temperature air source heat pump to heat the hot air on the condenser side for use in the waste heat recovery insulation furnace. This process makes full use of the waste heat that was originally wasted, greatly reducing the dependence on external energy. When the recovered heat is insufficient, steam is introduced through a steam heat exchanger to supplement it. Compared with the traditional insulation furnace system that completely relies on external energy for heating, energy consumption is greatly reduced.
[0012] 2. The device's temperature sensor collects system data in real time, which is then processed by the control cabinet to precisely control the solenoid valve switch, ensuring that the system is always in optimal operating condition. This not only extends the service life of the heating equipment and reduces equipment maintenance and replacement costs, but also improves the stability and reliability of the entire production system, reduces production interruptions caused by equipment failures, and ensures the normal production and operation of the enterprise.
[0013] 3. This device effectively recovers and utilizes the waste heat of the insulation furnace, reducing the consumption of traditional energy and lowering the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. At the same time, due to the more stable and efficient operation of the system, it reduces the emission of pollutants caused by the inefficient operation of the equipment. In addition, compared with traditional gas heating methods, this system does not produce combustion pollutants during operation, making it more environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

A terminal exhaust pipe 8 is installed at the upper end of the ultra-high temperature air source heat pump 1. A steam heat exchanger 12 is embedded in the heat preservation furnace inlet pipe 5. The heat can be recovered from the heat preservation furnace by the evaporator side of the ultra-high temperature air source heat pump and used to heat the hot air on the condenser side for use in the waste heat recovery heat preservation furnace. This can reduce the shortened life of heating equipment, increased system pressure, inefficient system operation, and increased energy consumption caused by excessively high temperatures.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-2 The ultra-high temperature air source heat pump 1 includes a heat pump evaporator 101 and a heat pump condenser 102. A compressor 103 is installed between the heat pump evaporator 101 and the heat pump condenser 102.

Then, high-temperature hot air is generated by the heat pump condenser 102 and sent into the heat pump 6 through the heat pump inlet pipe 5 to heat the heat pump 6. When the heat is insufficient, steam is supplied by the steam heat exchanger 12. The system collects data by the temperature sensor 3, and after processing by the control cabinet 9, it outputs a control signal to control the solenoid valve.
