Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery technology, and more specifically, it relates to a heat pipe type low-temperature economizer. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industrial production, energy consumption and environmental pollution have become increasingly prominent issues. In industries such as power, steel, chemicals, and building materials, large amounts of high-temperature flue gas are directly emitted into the atmosphere, causing not only energy waste but also severe environmental pollution. To improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution, waste heat recovery technology has been widely applied.

[0003] Economizers, as a common waste heat recovery device, are mainly used to recover waste heat from the flue gas at the tail end of a boiler and transfer it to the boiler feedwater, thereby improving the boiler's thermal efficiency. Traditional economizers typically employ shell-and-tube or finned-tube structures, achieving waste heat recovery through heat exchange between the flue gas and feedwater. However, traditional economizers suffer from the following problems when handling low-temperature flue gas: low heat exchange efficiency: low-temperature flue gas has a low enthalpy, and the heat exchange efficiency of traditional economizers is limited, making it difficult to effectively recover waste heat from the low-temperature flue gas.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, heat pipe technology has been incorporated into economizer design. A heat pipe is a highly efficient heat transfer element that achieves rapid heat transfer through the phase change of the working fluid, offering advantages such as high heat transfer efficiency, compact structure, and no need for external power. Heat pipe-type low-temperature economizers utilize heat pipe technology to effectively recover waste heat from low-temperature flue gas, demonstrating broad application prospects.

[0005] However, existing heat pipe-type low-temperature economizers still have some shortcomings in practical applications, such as unreasonable arrangement of heat pipes and related mechanisms, and low heat exchange efficiency, which limit their further promotion and application. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high-efficiency and reliable heat pipe-type low-temperature economizer. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat pipe type low-temperature economizer, which extends the flue gas flow path and water flow path through the path guide plate, thereby extending the heat exchange time and making heat recovery more complete and efficient.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a heat pipe type low-temperature economizer, including a heat exchange outer box, an isolation mounting block, and a plurality of heat pipes;

[0008] The heat exchange outer casing includes a fixed mounting cylinder, a flue gas cover plate, and a water flow cover plate. The fixed mounting cylinder includes a correspondingly connected outer casing top plate, outer casing rear plate, outer casing bottom plate, and outer casing front plate.

[0009] The isolation mounting block is vertically disposed in the middle of the interior of the fixed mounting cylinder, dividing the interior of the fixed mounting cylinder into a flue gas chamber and a water flow chamber. The flue gas cover plate is sealed to the end of the fixed mounting cylinder corresponding to the flue gas chamber, and the water flow cover plate is sealed to the end of the fixed mounting cylinder corresponding to the water flow chamber. An air inlet and a water outlet are respectively provided through both ends of the top plate of the outer casing, and an air outlet and a water inlet are respectively provided through both ends of the bottom plate of the outer casing.

[0010] The isolation mounting block is provided with several parallel mounting holes, the middle part of the heat pipe is fixedly inserted into the mounting holes, the evaporation end of the heat pipe is located in the flue gas chamber, and the condensation end of the heat pipe is located in the water flow chamber.

[0011] The flue gas chamber and the water flow chamber are respectively provided with a number of path guide plates, which separate the flue gas chamber and the water flow chamber into a continuous S-shaped channel.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front side of the path guide plate abuts against the inner side of the front panel of the outer casing, and the rear side of the path guide plate abuts against the inner side of the rear panel of the outer casing. Both the front and rear sides of the path guide plate are provided with sealing gaskets.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the path guide plate in the water flow cavity includes an inner water guide plate and an outer water guide plate arranged at intervals, and the path guide plate in the flue gas cavity includes an inner smoke guide plate and the outer smoke guide plate arranged at intervals.

[0014] The outer side of the outer water guide plate is vertically and fixedly connected to the inner side of the water flow cover plate, and the inner side of the inner water guide plate is vertically abutting against the isolation mounting block. A connecting rod is connected between the outer side of the inner water guide plate and the inner side of the water flow cover plate.

[0015] The outer edge of the outer smoke guide plate is vertically and fixedly connected to the inner side of the smoke cover plate, and the inner edge of the inner smoke guide plate is vertically abutting against the isolation mounting block. A connecting rod is connected between the outer edge of the inner smoke guide plate and the inner side of the smoke cover plate.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a scraper is provided inside the flue gas chamber. The scraper is attached to the surface of the isolation mounting block. The scraper has scraping holes corresponding to the position of the heat pipe. A scraping connecting rod is provided between one side of the scraper and the inner side of the outer smoke guide plate.

[0020] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The heat pipe-type low-temperature economizer is sealed, ensuring that the flue gas chamber and water flow chamber are sealed except for the inlet and outlet of the medium, forming a stable medium flow channel. After the flue gas chamber and water flow chamber are installed, flue gas for waste heat recovery is introduced into the air inlet, and water to be heated is introduced into the water inlet. At this time, the flue gas enters the flue gas chamber and, under the action of the path guide plate, flows through an S-shaped channel. During this flow, it passes through the evaporation end of the heat pipe, absorbing heat from the flue gas under the evaporation action of the heat pipe itself, and transferring it to the condensation end. At this time, water flows through the condensation end in an S-shaped channel, and under the action of the heat pipe itself, the heat from the condensation end is transferred to the water flow, heating the water. With the continuous flow of water and flue gas, the heat in the flue gas can be continuously transferred to the water flow, achieving the recovery of flue gas heat and the heating of water, thus achieving full utilization of energy. Throughout the heat recovery process, the flow paths of the flue gas and water are extended using a guide vane, allowing for longer heat exchange time and thus more thorough and efficient heat recovery. Furthermore, the flue gas and water flow paths are reversed to ensure proper temperature control at both ends of the heat pipe, resulting in better water heating and higher heat recovery efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model provides a heat pipe 2 type low temperature economizer, including a heat exchange outer box, an isolation mounting block 1, and a plurality of heat pipes 2;

[0026] The heat exchange outer casing includes a fixed mounting cylinder 3, a flue gas cover plate 4, and a water flow cover plate 5. The fixed mounting cylinder 3 includes a correspondingly connected outer casing top plate 6, outer casing rear plate, outer casing bottom plate 7, and outer casing front plate.

[0027] The isolation mounting block 1 is vertically installed in the middle of the fixed mounting cylinder 3. The isolation mounting block 1 divides the interior of the fixed mounting cylinder 3 into a flue gas chamber 8 and a water flow chamber 9. The flue gas cover plate 4 is sealed to the end of the fixed mounting cylinder 3 corresponding to the flue gas chamber 8, and the water flow cover plate 5 is sealed to the end of the fixed mounting cylinder 3 corresponding to the water flow chamber 9. The top plate 6 of the outer box is provided with an air inlet 10 and a water outlet 11 through both ends, and the bottom plate 7 of the outer box is provided with an air outlet 12 and a water inlet 13 through both ends.

[0028] Installation connecting buckles 22 are respectively provided between the water flow cover plate 5 and the fixed installation cylinder 3, and between the flue gas cover plate 4 and the fixed installation cylinder 3, for the overall sealing and fixed installation of the heat exchange outer box.

[0029] The isolation mounting block 1 has several parallel mounting holes through it. The middle part of the heat pipe 2 is fixedly inserted into the mounting hole. The evaporation end of the heat pipe 2 is located in the flue gas chamber 8, and the condensation end of the heat pipe 2 is located in the water flow chamber 9.

[0030] Several path guide plates are respectively installed in the flue gas chamber 8 and the water flow chamber 9, which divide the flue gas chamber 8 and the water flow chamber 9 into a continuous S-shaped channel.

[0031] The working principle and technical advantages of this heat pipe 2 type low-temperature economizer are as follows: The heat pipe 2 type low-temperature economizer is sealed, ensuring that the flue gas chamber 8 and water flow chamber 9 are sealed except for the inlet and outlet of the medium, forming a stable medium flow channel. After the flue gas chamber 8 and water flow chamber 9 are installed, flue gas for waste heat recovery is introduced into the air inlet 10, and water to be heated is introduced into the water inlet 13. At this time, the flue gas enters the flue gas chamber 8 and flows through an S-shaped channel under the action of the path guide plate. During the flow, it passes through the evaporation end of the heat pipe 2, absorbing heat from the flue gas under the evaporation action of the heat pipe 2 itself, and transferring it to the condensation end. At this time, water flows through the condensation end in an S-shaped channel, and under the action of the heat pipe 2 itself, the heat at the condensation end is transferred to the water flow, heating the water flow. With the continuous flow of water and flue gas, the heat in the flue gas can be continuously transferred to the water flow, realizing the recovery of heat from the flue gas and the heating of the water flow, achieving full utilization of energy. Throughout the heat recovery process, the flow paths of the flue gas and water are extended through the flow guide plate, thus prolonging the heat exchange time and making heat recovery more complete and efficient. Furthermore, the flue gas and water flow paths are reversed to ensure the temperature difference between the two ends inside heat pipe 2, resulting in better water heating and higher heat recovery efficiency.

[0032] As an embodiment of this utility model, the front side of the path guide plate abuts against the inner side of the front panel of the outer casing, and the rear side of the path guide plate abuts against the inner side of the rear panel of the outer casing. Both the front and rear sides of the path guide plate are provided with sealing gaskets to isolate the flue gas passage and the water flow passage.

[0033] Specifically, the path guide plate in the water flow chamber 9 includes an inner water guide plate 14 and an outer water guide plate 15 arranged at intervals, and the path guide plate in the flue gas chamber 8 includes an inner smoke guide plate 17 and an outer smoke guide plate 16 arranged at intervals; a sealing gasket is provided on the inner side of the inner water guide plate 14.

[0034] The outer side of the outer water guide plate 15 is vertically fixed to the inner side of the water flow cover plate 5, and the inner side of the inner water guide plate 14 is vertically abutting against the isolation mounting block 1. A connecting rod 18 is connected between the outer side of the inner water guide plate 14 and the inner side of the water flow cover plate 5, so that the inner water guide plate 14 can also be disassembled together with the water flow cover plate 5.

[0035] The outer edge of the outer smoke guide plate 16 is vertically fixed to the inner side of the smoke cover plate 4, and the inner edge of the inner smoke guide plate 17 is vertically abutting against the isolation mounting block 1. A connecting rod 18 is connected between the outer edge of the inner smoke guide plate 17 and the inner side of the smoke cover plate 4, so that the inner smoke guide plate 17 can also be disassembled together with the smoke cover plate 4.

[0036] After the flue gas cover plate 4 and the water flow cover plate 5 are disassembled, all the path guide plates are taken out together, leaving only the heat pipe 2 in the flue gas chamber 8 and the water flow chamber 9, which facilitates the actual cleaning of flue gas dust and scale.

[0037] As an embodiment of this utility model, a scraper plate 19 is arranged inside the flue gas chamber 8. The scraper plate 19 is attached to the surface of the isolation mounting block 1. A scraper hole 20 is provided on the scraper plate 19 corresponding to the position of the heat pipe 2. A scraper connecting rod 21 is provided between one side of the scraper plate 19 and the inner side of the outer smoke guide plate 16. One side of the scraper plate 19 is vertically fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner smoke guide plate 17, so that the scraper plate 19 can be taken out simultaneously when the flue gas cover plate 4 is removed. The four edges of the scraper plate 19 are respectively attached to the inner wall of the fixed mounting cylinder 3, and the hole wall of the scraper hole 20 is attached to the outer wall of the heat pipe 2. When the scraper plate 19 moves outward, the accumulated dust on the inner wall of the fixed mounting cylinder 3 and the outer side of the heat pipe 2 can be scraped off, making the dust treatment simpler and reducing the difficulty of subsequent dust treatment.

[0038] As an embodiment of this utility model, the outer side of the fixed installation cylinder 3, the outer side of the water flow cover plate 5, and the outer side of the flue gas cover plate 4 are respectively provided with heat insulation layers to reduce heat dissipation and save energy.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and variations.
