Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flue gas treatment technology for gas-fired boilers, and in particular to a gas-fired boiler inlet air filtration and dust removal system. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing environmental pressures, gas-fired boilers are being used for both residential heating and industrial steam supply. Depending on the boiler's installed capacity, small-capacity boilers typically have the blower and burner integrated into the boiler body, with the blower drawing air directly from the boiler room, and supplemental air coming in through gaps in the boiler room's doors and windows. Large-capacity boilers, due to their larger air intake, require additional air intake ducts to draw air from the outside and necessitate a separate blower room.

[0003] However, direct indoor air intake creates negative pressure in the boiler room, leading to difficulties in opening doors and windows and hindering odor dissipation. Furthermore, boiler combustion consumes far more gas than normal ventilation, and unorganized air intake causes rapid ash accumulation in air intake gaps and openings, severely impacting the indoor environment. Large boilers, requiring separate blower rooms, not only occupy space but also increase the length of horizontal ventilation ducts, causing dust to accumulate in the blower ducts during air intake, making post-operation cleaning difficult. Therefore, providing a gas-fired boiler capable of filtering airborne dust is a pressing issue. Utility Model Content

[0021] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the air intake filtration and dust removal system for a gas-fired boiler. Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Now combined Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the gas boiler air intake filtration and dust removal system shown illustrates the technical solution of this utility model. The system includes: umbrella-shaped rain cap 1, insect net 2, air intake riser 3, filtration and dust removal chamber 4, filter plate 5, dust removal port 6, blowing port 7, dust removal air valve 8, dust removal air outlet 9, and air duct 11.

[0024] An umbrella-shaped rain cap 1 covers the opening of the air inlet riser 3, and an insect net 2 is fixed to the opening of the air inlet riser 3 by riveting, welding, or clipping. The end of the air inlet riser 3 is connected to the air inlet of the dust removal chamber 4, and a dust removal port 6 is opened on the side of the lower end of the dust removal chamber 4. The side of the dust removal chamber 4, which is a cavity made of welded steel plates, is connected to a duct 11, and the duct 11 and the cavity of the dust removal chamber 4 are separated by a filter plate 5. The filter plate 5 is composed of an outer frame, a single layer of steel wire mesh, and a fiber filter cloth stacked together. When installing the air inlet riser 3, it needs to pass through the roof or top plate and the soil layer on the top plate (in underground boiler rooms) and be fixed to the boiler room structure. The air inlet riser 3 is a finished spiral welded steel pipe or a circular pipe made on-site from galvanized steel plate.

[0025] Specifically, the lower edge of the duct 11 extends into the cavity of the dust removal chamber 4 without contacting the other side of the cavity, the upper edge of the duct 11 is smoothly connected to the side of the dust removal chamber 4, and the filter plate 5 is installed between the lower edge of the duct 11 and the side of the cavity.

[0026] A purge port 7 is provided on one side of the dust removal chamber, between the air inlet of the dust removal chamber 4 and the upper end of the filter plate 5. The connection between the dust removal chamber and the purge port 7 and the dust removal port 6 is a cavity pipe formed by welding short metal pipes to flanges.

[0027] A dust removal damper 8 is installed on the duct 11, and the air outlet of the duct 11 is connected to the fan. A dust removal air outlet 9 is opened on the pipe body between the dust removal damper 8 and the air outlet of the duct 11. Specifically, the dust removal damper 8 is a steel rubber-sealed butterfly valve, and the flange at the connection between the dust removal damper 8 and the filter dust removal chamber 4 is fastened with bolts.

[0028] Specifically, the dust removal vent 9 can be an opening and closing door composed of an iron plate, hinges, and rubber gaskets; the dust removal vent 9 can also be a detachable fixed seal composed of a steel blind flange and bolts.

[0029] The present invention's technical solution is described in conjunction with a specific implementation scenario. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown:

[0030] The boiler combustion air is drawn in from the outside through the air intake riser 3, and then enters the dust removal chamber 4. As the air passes through the filter plate 5 in the dust removal chamber 4, dust is trapped on the filter plate 5, resulting in clean, dust-free boiler combustion air entering the blower inlet. After being pressurized by the blower, the air enters the boiler to participate in combustion (see attached). Figure 1 In detail, the filter dust removal chamber 4 is shaped like a beer barrel. The enlarged local space inside the chamber facilitates the installation of the dust removal plate, while also increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the boiler combustion air intake through the dust removal plate, reducing the flow velocity and thus reducing the air intake resistance.

[0031] During dust removal, the boiler combustion air intake is temporarily changed to direct indoor intake, instead of being drawn in from the outside through the air intake riser 3. Specifically: Open the dust removal air outlet 9 and close the dust removal air valve 8, maintaining uninterrupted normal boiler operation during this process. Open the dust removal port 6 and the purge port 7, first using compressed air to purge the accumulated dust on the dust removal plate for preliminary cleaning. The dust is manually removed through the dust removal port 6, and clean water is sprayed onto the dust removal plate through the purge port 7 for repeated rinsing until the water is clear. Then, manually clean the bottom of the filter dust removal chamber 4 until it is clean and dry. Finally, open the dust removal air valve 8 and close the dust removal air outlet 9 to restore normal operation (see attached). Figure 2 ).

[0032] The purpose of the insect net 2 is to prevent outdoor insects and birds from entering the filter and dust removal chamber 4 with the airflow, which could cause operational malfunctions. The insect net 2 can be made of rust-proof metal wire mesh or galvanized welded wire mesh, with a wire diameter of not less than 1.5 mm and a mesh area of ​​not more than 9 square millimeters.

[0033] The outer frame of filter plate 5 is made of aluminum alloy and is fixed to the dust removal chamber 4, serving as the overall structural frame of filter plate 5. The wire mesh acts as the backbone of the fiber filter cloth, preventing deformation during cleaning. The fiber filter cloth is made of high-flux, low-resistance chemical fiber cloth (such as polyester PET and polypropylene PP), filtering airborne dust particles with a diameter of no less than 11 micrometers, meeting the primary filtration level required in air treatment.

[0034] 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.
