Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to RTO waste gas incineration technology, specifically a tail gas heat energy recovery device for an RTO waste gas incineration system. Background Technology
[0002] Current regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) concentrate and desorb the organic waste gas discharged from production through a rotary concentrator. The organic waste gas is then heated by the regenerative ceramic, and its temperature rises rapidly. Under the heating effect of combustion gas in the furnace, the temperature reaches 680-1050℃. At this high temperature, the VOCs in the organic waste gas are directly decomposed into carbon dioxide and water vapor, forming odorless high-temperature flue gas. This flue gas then flows through the low-temperature regenerative ceramic, and a large amount of heat energy is transferred from the flue gas to the regenerative body to heat the organic waste gas to be decomposed in the next cycle. After the temperature of the high-temperature flue gas drops significantly, it is discharged into the outdoor atmosphere.
[0003] However, the temperature of the flue gas exhaust is still relatively high. Currently, the heat energy of this exhaust gas is directly emitted, which not only affects air quality but also wastes energy. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example 1:
[0025] As shown in Figures 1-3, a waste gas heat recovery device for an RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) incineration system includes a recovery tank 1. The recovery tank 1 has an inlet pipe at its bottom and an outlet 2 at its top. A mixing unit 5 is located above the inlet pipe, and a recovery unit 7 is located above the mixing unit 5. Both the mixing unit 5 and the recovery unit 7 are located inside the recovery tank 1. The bottom of the recovery tank 1 is filled with water, and the recovery unit 7 is submerged in the water. The recovery unit 7 includes two support pipes 71, which are annular. Several connecting pipes 73 are connected within each support pipe 71. Several vertical pipes 72 are evenly distributed between the two support pipes 71, connecting the two support pipes 71. Both support pipes 71 are connected to a heat exchange unit 8. The mixing unit 5 includes a stirring shaft and several stirring blades, which are evenly distributed on the stirring shaft. The stirring shaft is driven to rotate by a motor 6.
[0026] The heat exchange unit 8 is connected to an external cold source. The heat exchange unit 8 is a heat exchanger, which is a device used to transfer heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid to meet the specified process requirements. It is an industrial application of convective heat transfer and heat conduction. The heat exchanger can transfer heat from the high-temperature water to the external cold source, thereby realizing the heat recovery function. The mixing unit 5 can make the water in the recovery tank 1 circulate, avoid the temperature difference between the upper and lower layers of the water, and break up the exhaust gas bubbles, making the exhaust gas bubbles smaller, thereby increasing the contact area between the exhaust gas and the water, and thus improving the heat transfer efficiency.
[0027] In actual use, the high-temperature water body heats the support pipe 71, the vertical pipe 72 and the connecting pipe 73, causing the heat transfer fluid in the support pipe 71, the vertical pipe 72 and the connecting pipe 73 to heat up and flow upward, collect in the upper support pipe 71 and flow towards the heat exchange unit 8. After absorbing heat in the heat exchange unit 8, the heat transfer fluid cools down and flows downward to the lower support pipe 71, naturally forming a heat transfer fluid circulation. Alternatively, a liquid pump can be added to force circulation.
[0028] The tail gas heat recovery device of the RTO waste gas incineration system in this embodiment allows the tail gas to pass through a water body, which raises the temperature of the water body. In conjunction with the recovery unit 7 and the heat exchange unit 8, the heat energy of the high-temperature water body is absorbed to facilitate the subsequent use of heat, thereby realizing the recovery of heat energy in the tail gas, saving energy, and further reducing the tail gas temperature.
[0029] The bottom of the recovery tank 1 is equipped with a gas distributor 4, which is connected to the air inlet pipe. The gas distributor 4 can make the exhaust gas evenly distributed, achieve uniform contact between the exhaust gas and the water, and improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0030] The top of the recycling tank 1 is equipped with a filter screen 3, which is located below the discharge port 2; the filter screen 3 can filter water droplets and dust in the exhaust gas.
[0031] The bottom of the recycling tank 1 is equipped with a circulation pump 9, which is used to pump water from the bottom of the recycling tank 1 to the top of the recycling unit 7. The circulation pump 9 can make the water in the recycling tank 1 circulate, so as to avoid the temperature difference between the upper and lower layers of the water being too large, which would affect the efficiency of the water in absorbing heat from the exhaust gas.
[0032] The motor 6 is fixed to the side wall of the recycling tank 1 by a heat insulation pad.
[0033] The bottom of the recycling tank 1 is equipped with an air vent valve 10.
[0034] The top of the recycling tank 1 is equipped with a water supply valve.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
