Description
A novel waste heat recovery device for boilers Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of boiler waste heat recovery technology, specifically relating to a novel waste heat recovery device for boilers. Background Technology
[0002] When boilers burn fuel to generate heat, they typically emit high-temperature flue gas (above 200°C) or waste heat such as steam condensate. Directly releasing this waste heat into the environment results in energy waste. Waste heat recovery systems use technology to capture this heat and reuse it in the boiler itself or other processes, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. Using water tanks to transfer heat to the water can increase waste heat utilization by 20%–30%, a crucial aspect of industrial energy conservation and cost reduction. Because boilers emit high-temperature flue gas, the flue gas contains dust. Direct emission not only results in heat loss but also impacts the environment and human health. Therefore, waste heat recovery devices typically filter the flue gas. However, since the filter is located inside the recovery unit, cleaning is inconvenient, leading to clogging and affecting the recovery effect. Common waste heat recovery devices use water tanks for heat recovery, resulting in low heat recovery utilization rates.
[0003] In summary, existing technologies suffer from low heat recovery rates and inconvenient cleaning of filtration devices. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to Figures 1-3.
[0022] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-3, addresses the problems of low heat recovery rate and inconvenient cleaning of filter devices in existing waste heat recovery devices. This utility model discloses a novel waste heat recovery device for boilers, including a waste heat recovery structure 3. A stabilizing foot 9 is located at the bottom of the waste heat recovery structure 3. The waste heat recovery structure 3 is internally divided into a high-temperature section, a medium-temperature section, and a low-temperature section. Each section has a corresponding maintenance door 4 for the high-temperature section, a maintenance door 5 for the medium-temperature section, and a maintenance door 6 for the low-temperature section. The three maintenance doors are bolted to the side of the waste heat recovery structure 3 and have internal rubber rings. These doors allow for maintenance through which any module malfunctions, and the rubber rings reinforce the gaps, preventing flue gas from escaping through. The high-temperature section contains a spiral radiative heat exchange tube bundle 16, which includes spiral coils and a high-emissivity ceramic coating. All gaps in the spiral radiative heat exchange tube bundle 16, except for the vent 21, are filled with phase change energy storage units 22, which are made of aluminum-silicon alloy. When high-temperature flue gas flows through the spiral radiative heat exchange tube bundle 16, the spiral structure extends the flue gas path, and the ceramic coating improves the radiation efficiency to transfer heat to the phase change energy storage unit 22 for storage. When the load recovers, the phase change energy storage unit 22 will release heat.
[0023] The intermediate temperature section, from left to right, is equipped with a serrated finned tube heat exchanger 17 and ultrasonic guide vanes 18. The serrated finned tube heat exchanger 17 is made of stainless steel with a nickel-phosphorus alloy plating. The ultrasonic guide vanes 18 are connected to the PLC and consist of guide vanes and an array of ultrasonic wind speed sensors. The intermediate temperature section is a control layer. After the flue gas is cooled in the high-temperature section, it enters the intermediate temperature section. The serrated finned tube heat exchanger 17 increases the heat exchange area and promotes convection circulation to improve heat exchange efficiency. Then, the ultrasonic guide vanes 18 regulate the flow rate, causing the flue gas to flow evenly to the low-temperature section. The ultrasonic wind speed sensors transmit the detected data to the PLC, which adjusts the angle of the guide vanes according to the preset speed. This ensures stable flue gas delivery to the low-temperature section and avoids ash accumulation at low speeds or wear at high speeds.
[0024] The low-temperature section includes an upper porous media condenser 19 and a lower guide block 20. One side of the guide block 20 is connected to the ultrasonic guide vane 18, and the other side is connected to the bottom of the drain pipe 10. The porous media condenser 19 is a sintered copper fiber porous layer with a graphene-fumed silica hydrophilic-hydrophobic composite coating. The hydrophilic region of the fumed silica has a contact angle of 10°, and the hydrophobic region has a contact angle of 150°. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of the fumed silica are alternately distributed. The gradient design of the coating can increase the condensation rate. When the flue gas cools down to about 120°C, water vapor will condense rapidly in the hydrophilic region of the fumed silica, releasing heat. The hydrophobic region accelerates liquid dripping. The porous media condenser 19 expands the condensation area through capillary action, accelerating latent heat recovery.
[0025] The high-temperature section has a filtration section on the left, with a waste collection box 12 below it. The left side of the filtration section and the flue gas inlet 1, the upper right side of the waste heat recovery structure 3, and the lower right side have an exhaust pipe 7 and a drain pipe 10. The filtration section has a filter layer 13 on the right side, with a matching shovel block 14. The shovel block 14 is connected to an air pump 11 via a telescopic rod 15. The air pump 11 is welded to the top of the filtration section. The waste collection box 12 is placed inside the waste collection box shell 2, which is welded to the bottom of the filtration section. The opening on the top of the waste collection box shell 2 matches the shovel block 14. Rubber rings are provided on all four sides of the waste collection box 12, and a handle 8 is provided on the outside. The waste collection box 12 and the waste collection box shell 2 are compatible. An activated carbon filter layer is installed inside the exhaust pipe 7. The air pump 11 is connected to a PLC. Sealing blocks are installed on the drain pipe 10, exhaust pipe 7, and flue gas inlet 1. The filter layer 13 performs preliminary filtration of the flue gas entering the device. The air pump 11 is connected to the PLC to process impurities on the filter layer 13 in real time to prevent them from accumulating on the filter layer 13 and affecting the performance. The waste collection box 12 is equipped with a rubber ring to prevent flue gas leakage. The exhaust pipe 7 is equipped with an activated carbon filter layer to further ensure that the exhaust gas does not pollute the environment or humans.
[0026] Specific implementation principle: When using this utility model, the flue gas first enters the filter layer 13 of this equipment to filter impurities. The high-temperature flue gas falls into the high-temperature section and comes into contact with the high-emissivity ceramic coating through the vent 21, transferring heat to the phase change energy storage unit 22 for storage. The remaining flue gas enters the medium-temperature section, where the heat exchange area is increased and convection circulation is promoted through the serrated finned tube heat exchanger 17 to improve heat exchange efficiency. The ultrasonic wind speed sensor detects the wind speed and transmits the data to the PLC. The PLC adjusts the angle of the guide vanes according to the preset speed. When the flue gas enters the low-temperature layer, because the porous medium condenser 19 is a sintered copper fiber porous layer with a surface coated with a graphene-vaporized silica hydrophilic-hydrophobic composite coating, water... The vapor will condense rapidly in the hydrophilic region of the fumed silica and accelerate liquid dripping in the hydrophobic region. The porous media condenser 19 expands the condensation area through capillary action, accelerating latent heat recovery. Excess gas can be discharged through the activated carbon filter layer of the exhaust pipe 7 above, and excess water can be discharged through the drain pipe 10. When the ultrasonic wind speed sensor detects that the wind speed has slowed down, the PLC will control the air pump 11 to move the telescopic rod 15 downward. The shovel block 14 will move the impurities on the filter layer 13 downward, push the impurities into the waste collection box 12 and then return to its original position. The operator only needs to clean the waste collection box 12 regularly. If a fault occurs, the faulty module can be identified and the problem can be addressed accordingly, making maintenance more convenient.
[0027] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
