Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal power generation technology, and specifically discloses a waste heat recovery device for boilers in thermal power plants. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal power plants, as a crucial pillar of modern electricity supply, primarily convert chemical energy into electrical energy by burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and biomass, or by utilizing industrial waste. In this process, the boiler is the core equipment for converting fuel thermal energy into steam kinetic energy. It releases heat through fuel combustion, heats working fluids such as water or steam, and generates high-parameter steam (including specific pressure and temperature) that meets the operating requirements of the steam turbine.

[0003] In existing technologies, thermal power plants generally employ a thermal power generation model, relying on boilers to burn fuel to provide thermal energy. However, the large amount of flue gas generated after boiler combustion is often not integrated with waste heat recovery functions in existing devices and is usually directly filtered before being discharged. This treatment method results in the ineffective utilization of a significant amount of heat carried by the flue gas, leading to energy waste. Furthermore, since the filters are typically fixed inside the flue gas ducts with fasteners, the impurities trapped after filtration are difficult to remove and clean, requiring tools to disassemble the fasteners, making operation cumbersome. Therefore, a waste heat recovery device for boilers in thermal power plants is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4A waste heat recovery device for boilers in thermal power plants includes a boiler body 1, with a flue gas outlet 2 connected to the upper end of the boiler body 1, a support plate 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flue gas outlet 2, and a heat exchange mechanism provided on the upper side of the support plate 3.

[0028] The heat exchange mechanism includes a rectangular support frame 5 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 3. A first sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rectangular support frame 5. Multiple heat exchange boxes 7 are arranged vertically on the upper side of the first sealing gasket 6. A second sealing gasket 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the multiple heat exchange boxes 7. Multiple evenly distributed flue gas pipes 9 are fixedly connected through the upper end of each of the multiple heat exchange boxes 7. A smoke collection hood 12 is arranged above the support plate 3, which abuts against the uppermost second sealing gasket 8.

[0029] Four L-shaped positioning plates 4 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 3. The four L-shaped positioning plates 4 are respectively attached to the outer walls of multiple heat exchange boxes 7 and the outer walls of the smoke hood 12. A connecting mechanism is provided on the outer side of the four L-shaped positioning plates 4.

[0030] The upper end of the smoke collection hood 12 is connected to a first bend pipe 18, a second bend pipe 19 is provided on the right side of the first bend pipe 18, and a filter mechanism is provided on the outside of the second bend pipe 19.

[0031] The filtration mechanism includes a fixing ring 20 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second bend 19, a threaded ring 21 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second bend 19, a sealing ring 22 fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing ring 20 and abutting against the upper end of the threaded ring 21, and a filter bag 23 fixedly connected to the lower end of the threaded ring 21.

[0032] In this embodiment: the rectangular support frame 5 and the bottom heat exchange box 7 are sealed by the first sealing gasket 6 to prevent flue gas leakage. Multiple heat exchange boxes 7 are stacked sequentially by the second sealing gasket 8 to form a multi-stage heat exchange structure. The smoke hood 12 abuts against the uppermost second sealing gasket 8 to prevent flue gas leakage. The connecting mechanism continuously applies downward pressure to the smoke hood 12 to ensure that the first sealing gasket 6 and the second sealing gasket 8 are squeezed tightly. The installation positions of the multiple heat exchange boxes 7 and the smoke hood 12 are accurately positioned by four L-shaped positioning plates 4.

[0033] During heat exchange, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of fuel in the boiler body 1 is discharged through the flue gas outlet 2 and enters the heat exchange mechanism through the rectangular support frame 5 above the support plate 3. The flue gas first enters the multiple flue gas pipes 9 of the lowest heat exchange box 7 and flows upward, passing through the flue gas pipes 9 of each heat exchange box 7 step by step, and finally collects at the smoke collection hood 12. Cooling water enters the heat exchange box 7 through the water inlet pipe joint 10, contacts the outer wall of the flue gas pipe 9 inside the box, absorbs the heat of the flue gas and its temperature rises, and then is discharged through the water outlet pipe joint 11 to achieve heat recovery. The flue gas pipe 9 and the heat exchange box 7 have good thermal conductivity, and with the multi-stage heat exchange method, the heat exchange effect can be improved. In this way, the heat in the flue gas of the boiler body 1 can be effectively recovered, and the energy utilization rate can be improved.

[0034] After heat exchange, the temperature of the flue gas decreases and enters the first bend pipe 18 through the smoke collection hood 12, and then enters the filter mechanism through the second bend pipe 19. In the filter mechanism, the second bend pipe 19 is connected to the threaded ring 21 by threads, and the sealing ring 22 between the two ensures airtightness. When the flue gas passes through the filter bag 23, dust and other impurities are intercepted and the purified flue gas is discharged.

[0035] When cleaning the heat exchange box 7 and the flue gas duct 9, the restriction on the smoke collection hood 12 is released through the connecting mechanism, and the smoke collection hood 12 can be separated from the heat exchange box 7. The heat exchange box 7 can be removed layer by layer, and then the outer wall of the heat exchange box 7 and the inner wall of the flue gas duct 9 can be cleaned with tools. In this way, the purpose of cleaning the heat exchange box 7 and the flue gas duct 9 can be achieved.

[0036] When cleaning or replacing the filter bag 23, rotate the threaded ring 21 to separate it from the second bend 19, and the filter bag 23 can be quickly disassembled for cleaning or replacement. At the same time, the impurities collected inside the filter bag 23 can be discharged without the need for tools, thus facilitating the discharge and cleaning of trapped impurities. The filter bag 23 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has excellent high temperature resistance.

[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting frame 13 that is fixedly connected to the outer wall of four L-shaped positioning plates 4. The outer wall of the first connecting frame 13 is fixedly connected to a plurality of evenly distributed threaded sleeves 14. The outer wall of the smoke hood 12 is fixedly connected to a second connecting frame 15. The outer wall of the second connecting frame 15 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed through holes 16. Bolts 17 that are threaded into the interior of the plurality of threaded sleeves 14 are inserted into the interior of the plurality of through holes 16.

[0038] In this embodiment: the bolt 17 is inserted through the hole 16 and screwed into the inside of the threaded sleeve 14. The bolt 17 applies downward pressure to the second connecting frame 15, and then the second connecting frame 15 continuously applies downward clamping force to the smoke hood 12, ensuring that the first sealing gasket 6 and the second sealing gasket 8 are squeezed tightly.

[0039] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the rear ends of multiple heat exchange boxes 7 are all connected to water inlet pipe joints 10, and the front ends of multiple heat exchange boxes 7 are all connected to water outlet pipe joints 11.

[0040] In this embodiment: by setting multiple inlet pipe joints 10, it is convenient to connect to the external water inlet pipe; by setting multiple outlet pipe joints 11, it is convenient to connect to the external water outlet pipe.

[0041] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the first sealing gasket 6 and the multiple second sealing gaskets 8 are all made of graphite core and stainless steel strip, and the sealing ring 22 is made of graphite core and metal skeleton.

[0042] In this embodiment: the first sealing gasket 6 and the second sealing gasket 8 are made of graphite core and stainless steel strip, which have the characteristics of high temperature resistance and can adapt to high temperature environment. The sealing ring 22 is made of graphite core and metal skeleton, which can prevent the sealing ring 22 from failing during use.

[0043] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the first bend 18 and the second bend 19 are connected by a flange.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first bend 18 and the second bend 19 are connected by a flange, which facilitates the connection and fixation of the first bend 18 and the second bend 19.

[0045] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a plurality of evenly distributed reinforcing rods 24 are fixedly connected between the support plate 3 and the boiler body 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, multiple reinforcing rods 24 are provided to improve the stability of the connection to the support plate 3.

[0047] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the threaded ring 21 is fixedly connected with multiple handles.

[0048] In this embodiment, multiple handles are provided to facilitate manual rotation of the threaded ring 21.

[0049] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The rectangular support frame 5 and the bottom heat exchange box 7 are sealed by the first sealing gasket 6 to prevent flue gas leakage. Multiple heat exchange boxes 7 are stacked in sequence by the second sealing gasket 8 to form a multi-stage heat exchange structure. The smoke hood 12 abuts against the uppermost second sealing gasket 8 to prevent flue gas leakage. Multiple bolts 17 are respectively engaged with multiple threaded sleeves 14. The second connecting frame 15 continuously applies downward pressure to the smoke hood 12 to ensure that the first sealing gasket 6 and the second sealing gasket 8 are squeezed tightly. The installation positions of the multiple heat exchange boxes 7 and the smoke hood 12 are accurately positioned by four L-shaped positioning plates 4.

[0050] During heat exchange, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of fuel in the boiler body 1 is discharged through the flue gas outlet 2 and enters the heat exchange mechanism through the rectangular support frame 5 above the support plate 3. The flue gas first enters the multiple flue gas pipes 9 of the lowest heat exchange box 7 and flows upward, passing through the flue gas pipes 9 of each heat exchange box 7 step by step, and finally collects at the smoke collection hood 12. Cooling water enters the heat exchange box 7 through the water inlet pipe joint 10, contacts the outer wall of the flue gas pipe 9 inside the box, absorbs the heat of the flue gas and its temperature rises, and then is discharged through the water outlet pipe joint 11 to achieve heat recovery. The flue gas pipe 9 and the heat exchange box 7 have good thermal conductivity, and with the multi-stage heat exchange method, the heat exchange effect can be improved. In this way, the heat in the flue gas of the boiler body 1 can be effectively recovered, and the energy utilization rate can be improved.

[0051] The first sealing gasket 6 and the second sealing gasket 8 are made of graphite core and stainless steel strip, which have the characteristics of high temperature resistance and can adapt to high temperature environment.

[0052] After heat exchange, the temperature of the flue gas decreases and enters the first bend pipe 18 through the smoke collection hood 12, and then enters the filter mechanism through the second bend pipe 19. In the filter mechanism, the second bend pipe 19 is connected to the threaded ring 21 by threads, and the sealing ring 22 between the two ensures airtightness. When the flue gas passes through the filter bag 23, dust and other impurities are intercepted and the purified flue gas is discharged.

[0053] When cleaning the heat exchange box 7 and the flue gas duct 9, loosen the bolts 17 of the connecting mechanism to separate the smoke hood 12 from the heat exchange box 7, remove the heat exchange box 7 layer by layer, and then clean the outer wall of the heat exchange box 7 and the inner wall of the flue gas duct 9 with tools. In this way, the purpose of cleaning the heat exchange box 7 and the flue gas duct 9 can be achieved.

[0054] When cleaning or replacing the filter bag 23, rotate the handle on the outer wall of the threaded ring 21 to separate it from the fixing ring 20, and the filter bag 23 can be quickly disassembled for cleaning or replacement. At the same time, the impurities collected inside the filter bag 23 can be discharged without the need for tools, thus facilitating the discharge and cleaning of trapped impurities. The filter bag 23 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has excellent high temperature resistance.
