Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal power plant technology, specifically a simple compressed air filtration device for thermal power plants. Background Technology

[0002] In the denitrification process of thermal power plants, compressed air plays a crucial role. Whether it is promoting the thorough mixing of ammonia and flue gas in SCR denitrification technology or the precise injection of auxiliary reducing agent in SNCR denitrification technology, stable and clean compressed air is indispensable. It is the cornerstone for ensuring the efficient operation of the denitrification system.

[0003] In the actual operation of thermal power plants, the compressed air output by air compressors is a key power source for the stable operation of many systems and equipment. However, it often carries a large number of complex impurities, including dust, oil, and moisture. Although dust particles are small, they can continuously wear down the internal precision components of downstream equipment under long-term airflow impact. Oil is sticky, and once it adheres to the equipment surface, it not only hinders normal heat dissipation but also mixes with other impurities to form dirt that is difficult to clean. Moisture can cause corrosion of equipment, especially after contact with oxygen and other chemicals in the air, accelerating the rusting and damage of metal parts. If these impurities are not effectively removed, they will cause serious damage to downstream equipment. In terms of instrument control systems, impurities can interfere with sensor signal transmission, leading to inaccurate data acquisition, sensor malfunction, and even valve jamming, causing misinterpretation of control signals and severely impacting the automated operation of equipment. In pneumatic conveying systems, the presence of impurities causes continuous friction on the inner wall of the pipe, resulting in pipe wear and even blockage of the pipe during material transport, greatly reducing conveying efficiency, thereby shortening the service life and operating efficiency of the equipment, significantly increasing maintenance costs, affecting the overall economic benefits of thermal power plants, and failing to meet current needs.

[0009] Preferably, a third valve is provided on the surface of the discharge pipe. During the filtration process of compressed air, the filter bag intercepts and accumulates dust, water, and oil in the compressed air in a specific area. This dust, water, and oil will be discharged through the discharge pipe. The third valve is normally closed.
