Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of process waste heat recovery, and relates to a device for efficient utilization of waste heat in glass manufacturing processes. Background Technology

[0002] The glass industry, being a resource- and energy-dependent high-energy-consuming industry, generates a large amount of waste heat from flue gas during its production process. However, the recovery and utilization of this waste heat is insufficient; the vast majority of it enters waste heat boilers, and the temperature of the flue gas finally released into the atmosphere is around 150°C, resulting in energy waste. Therefore, how to utilize the waste heat from the glass manufacturing process has become an urgent issue to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a waste heat utilization device for glass manufacturing processes. It includes a glass melting furnace, a tin bath, an annealing furnace, a waste heat steam boiler, a steam-type lithium bromide unit, a steam turbine, a generator, a flue gas desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal device, a steam-water heat exchanger, a hot water-type lithium bromide unit, a flue gas-type lithium bromide unit, and connecting pipelines. High-temperature flue gas generated in the glass melting furnace is fed into the waste heat boiler; the generated steam enters the steam turbine to generate electricity. The remaining flue gas, after desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal treatment, enters the heat exchanger to generate hot water, which is then supplied to the hot water-type lithium bromide unit for cooling and power supply to the factory. Steam is also drawn from the steam turbine to supply cooling to the steam-type lithium bromide unit. High-temperature hot air generated in the annealing furnace is fed into the flue gas-type lithium bromide unit for cooling and power supply to the factory. Another portion of the high-temperature hot air generated in the annealing furnace enters the small waste heat steam boiler; the generated steam is used to supplement the steam turbine for power generation, and the remaining portion is used to supply cooling to the steam-type lithium bromide unit. By repeatedly utilizing the high-temperature flue gas and hot air generated in the glass manufacturing process, the goal of efficiently recovering waste heat can be achieved.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve the above-mentioned objectives is: a waste heat high-efficiency utilization device for glass manufacturing process, including a glass melting furnace, a tin bath, an annealing furnace A zone, an annealing furnace B zone, a large waste heat steam boiler, a small waste heat steam boiler, a steam-type lithium bromide unit A, a steam turbine, a generator, a flue gas desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal device, a gas-water heat exchanger, a hot water-type lithium bromide unit, a flue gas-type lithium bromide unit A, a flue gas-type lithium bromide unit B, and connecting pipelines;

[0011] A cooling water pipeline D is installed after the flue gas type lithium bromide unit A, and a cooling water pipeline C is installed after the flue gas type lithium bromide unit B.

[0012] In operation, this invention involves a glass melting furnace melting glass raw materials and generating high-temperature flue gas at 450-500°C. This high-temperature flue gas enters a large waste heat steam boiler through flue gas pipeline A. The resulting superheated steam at 2.2-2.5 MPa enters a steam-type lithium bromide generator unit through steam pipelines A and B. A steam control valve B is installed on steam pipeline B. Another portion of the superheated steam enters a steam turbine through steam pipeline C, driving the turbine to generate electricity via a connecting device. A steam control valve A is installed on steam pipeline C. The flue gas, at 160-180°C after passing through the large waste heat steam boiler, enters a flue gas desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal device through flue gas pipeline D. After desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal, relatively clean flue gas at 140-150°C is generated and enters a gas-water heat exchanger through flue gas pipeline E. Hot water at 95°C is then fed into a hot water-type lithium bromide generator unit to produce chilled water. The resulting chilled water is supplied for use through chilled water pipeline A.

[0013] The 550°C high-temperature hot air generated in zone A3 of the annealing furnace is partially fed into the flue gas-fired lithium bromide unit for cooling via flue gas pipeline C, with the resulting cooling capacity supplied by chilled water pipeline D. Another portion of the high-temperature flue gas is fed into a small waste heat steam boiler via flue gas pipeline B to produce superheated steam at 2.2-2.5 MPa. Part of this superheated steam is fed into the steam turbine via steam pipeline D, while the other part is fed into the steam-fired lithium bromide unit A for cooling via steam pipeline E. A steam control valve C is installed on steam pipeline D, and a steam control valve D is installed on steam pipeline E.

[0014] Hot air at 390°C generated in zone B of the annealing furnace enters the flue gas-fired lithium bromide unit via steam pipeline D to produce chilled water. The produced chilled water is then supplied for use via chilled water pipeline C.
