Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam generator technology, and in particular to an explosion-proof fuel gas steam generator. Background Technology
[0002] Fuel-fired steam generators use the heat generated by burning fuel to heat the water in a water tank, thereby producing steam. Existing fuel-fired steam generators typically have a combustion chamber at the bottom of the casing and a water tank above it. Fuel enters the combustion chamber through the fuel inlet pipe and is ignited by an ignition gun. The burning fuel then heats the water in the water tank.
[0003] However, traditional oil and gas steam generators have many shortcomings in structure and function. In terms of heating method, most adopt a simple bottom heating structure, with the combustion area concentrated at the bottom of the water tank. This results in uneven heating of the water in the tank, which not only affects the efficiency of steam generation and prolongs the production cycle, but may also cause energy waste. For example, in some food processing enterprises, due to uneven heating, the water temperature in some areas is too high, while the water temperature in other areas rises slowly, making it impossible for the overall steam output to meet production needs, affecting the processing quality and production progress. In terms of energy utilization, traditional steam generators have a relatively simple method for treating the flue gas generated after combustion, usually directly emitting it into the atmosphere. This not only causes a lot of energy waste, but also increases the operating costs of enterprises, and the energy utilization rate needs to be improved.
[0004] To address these shortcomings, we proposed an explosion-proof fuel gas vapor generator. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an explosion-proof fuel gas vapor generator.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an explosion-proof fuel gas steam generator, comprising a base, a housing, a water tank, a water inlet, a steam outlet, a first pressure relief valve, an oil inlet pipe, a combustion pipe, a burner head, a second pressure relief valve, and a smoke return pipe. The housing is fixed on the base, the water tank is disposed inside the housing, the water inlet, the first pressure relief valve, and the steam outlet are all disposed above the water tank, the oil inlet pipe is connected to the combustion pipe, the combustion pipe has a U-shaped structure surrounding the water tank, the burner head is disposed on the combustion pipe, the second pressure relief valve is mounted on the housing, one end of the smoke return pipe extends between the housing and the water tank, and the other end of the smoke return pipe is connected to the outer shell.
[0007] Preferably, the combustion tube is used in conjunction with a water tank.
[0008] Preferably, the combustion head is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple combustion heads are equidistantly distributed on the combustion tube.
[0009] Preferably, the other end of the oil inlet pipe is connected to an external fuel tank.
[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the water tank is smaller than the diameter of the shell.
[0011] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the base is larger than the cross-sectional area of the shell.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention utilizes a unique U-shaped combustion tube design, allowing the sidewalls of the water tank to be directly heated during combustion. Compared to traditional bottom heating methods, this significantly improves the problem of uneven heating of the water tank. The steam generator with the U-shaped combustion tube allows the water temperature inside the tank to rise faster than traditional methods, greatly accelerating the heating speed and effectively shortening the time required for steam generation. For enterprises that require a large supply of steam, this can significantly improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.
[0014] The design of the flue gas return pipe in this invention enables the secondary use of the exhaust gas. The high-temperature flue gas generated during combustion enters the heating zone inside the combustion chamber through the flue gas return pipe during the exhaust process, transferring the waste heat to the water in the water tank. This design can significantly improve the energy utilization rate of the steam generator, effectively reduce energy waste, and lower the energy consumption costs of enterprises.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-3 An explosion-proof fuel gas steam generator includes a base 1, a housing 2, a water tank 3, a water inlet 4, a steam outlet 5, a first pressure relief valve 6, an oil inlet pipe 7, a combustion pipe 8, a burner head 9, a second pressure relief valve 10, and a return smoke pipe 11. The housing 2 is fixed to the base 1, the water tank 3 is disposed inside the housing 2, the water inlet 4, the first pressure relief valve 6, and the steam outlet 5 are all located above the water tank 3, the oil inlet pipe 7 is connected to the combustion pipe 8, the combustion pipe 8 has a U-shaped structure surrounding the water tank 3, the burner head 9 is disposed on the combustion pipe 8, the second pressure relief valve 10 is installed on the housing 2, and one end of the return smoke pipe 11 extends between the housing 2 and the water tank 3, while the other end of the return smoke pipe 11 is connected to the outer casing 1.
[0024] Before use, inject an appropriate amount of water into the water tank 3 through the water inlet 4. This is the basis for steam generation. The water stored in the water tank 3 provides the material source for subsequent steam generation. Fuel oil or gas enters the combustion tube 8 through the oil inlet pipe 7 and is ignited by the burner head 9. The burner head 9 provides the ignition source for the fuel combustion, allowing the fuel to burn completely in the combustion tube 8. The combustion tube 8 has a U-shaped structure that surrounds the water tank 3. This design allows the heat generated by combustion to be quickly and evenly transferred to the side wall of the water tank 3, making the water in the water tank 3 more evenly heated and accelerating the heating rate. Compared with the traditional bottom heating method, it greatly shortens the time required for steam generation. The water in the water tank 3 heats up under the heat transferred by the combustion tube 8, and steam is generated after reaching the boiling point. The steam is discharged through the steam outlet 5 and can be used for various production or domestic purposes, such as the steam needs of food processing, textile printing and dyeing industries. During operation, the first pressure relief valve 6 and the second pressure relief valve 10 play a crucial role. The first pressure relief valve 6 is installed on the water tank 3. When the pressure in the water tank 3 is too high, it will automatically open to relieve pressure and prevent the water tank 3 from being dangerous due to excessive pressure. The second pressure relief valve 10 is installed on the combustion tube 8. When the pressure in the combustion tube 8 rises abnormally, it will open in time to relieve pressure and ensure the safety of the combustion tube 8, avoiding safety accidents such as explosions caused by pressure problems. The high-temperature flue gas generated by combustion is discharged through the combustion tube 8 and enters the return flue pipe 11. One end of the return flue pipe 11 is connected to the combustion tube 8, and the other end is connected to the heating area of the water tank 3. During the flow of the high-temperature flue gas in the return flue pipe 11, the residual heat is transferred to the water in the water tank 3, realizing the secondary use of the flue gas. This design greatly improves the energy utilization rate of the steam generator, reduces energy waste, and lowers the energy consumption cost of enterprises.
[0025] In this implementation plan: the combustion tube 8 is used in conjunction with the water tank 3.
[0026] Specifically, this ensures the heating effect and efficiency of the water in water tank 3.
[0027] In this embodiment, there are multiple burner heads 9, and the multiple burner heads 9 are equidistantly distributed on the combustion tube 8.
[0028] Specifically, it improves the heating effect of the water in water tank 3, making the water heated more evenly.
[0029] In this implementation plan: the other end of the oil inlet pipe 7 is connected to an external fuel tank.
[0030] Specifically, ensure the normal operation of the steam generator.
[0031] In this implementation plan: the diameter of the water tank 3 is smaller than the diameter of the shell 2.
[0032] Specifically, this allows the water tank 3 to be installed inside the housing 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the base 1 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the shell 2.
[0034] Specifically, increasing the grounding area makes the system more stable during use.
[0035] Working Principle: During use, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the water tank 3 through the water inlet 4. This is the basis for steam generation; the water stored in the tank 3 provides the material source for subsequent steam generation. Fuel oil or natural gas enters the combustion tube 8 through the oil inlet pipe 7 and is ignited by the burner head 9. The burner head 9 provides the ignition source for fuel combustion, ensuring complete combustion within the combustion tube 8. The combustion tube 8 has a U-shaped structure surrounding the water tank 3. This design allows the heat generated by combustion to be quickly and evenly transferred to the side walls of the water tank 3, resulting in more uniform heating of the water and accelerating the heating rate. Compared to traditional bottom heating methods, this significantly shortens the time required for steam generation. The water in the tank 3 heats up under the heat transferred by the combustion tube 8, reaching its boiling point to produce steam. The steam is discharged through the steam outlet 5 and can be used for various production or domestic applications, such as the steam needs of food processing and textile printing and dyeing industries. Throughout the operation, the first pressure relief valve 6 and the second pressure relief valve 10 play crucial roles. The first pressure relief valve 6 is installed on the water tank 3. When the pressure inside the water tank 3 is too high, it will automatically open to relieve pressure and prevent the water tank 3 from becoming dangerous due to excessive pressure. The second pressure relief valve 10 is installed on the combustion tube 8. When the pressure inside the combustion tube 8 rises abnormally, it will open in time to relieve pressure and ensure the safety of the combustion tube 8, avoiding safety accidents such as explosions caused by pressure problems. The high-temperature flue gas generated by combustion is discharged through the combustion tube 8 and enters the return flue pipe 11. One end of the return flue pipe 11 is connected to the combustion tube 8, and the other end is connected to the heating area of the water tank 3. During the flow of the high-temperature flue gas in the return flue pipe 11, the residual heat is transferred to the water in the water tank 3, realizing the secondary use of the flue gas. This design greatly improves the energy utilization rate of the steam generator, reduces energy waste, and lowers the energy consumption costs of enterprises.
