Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air preheater heat storage elements, specifically an air preheater anti-clogging ash wide channel waveform heat storage element. Background Technology

[0002] During operation of coal-fired power units, the flue gas side resistance of the air preheater gradually increases with the duration of use due to various reasons, especially in denitrification units. Under near-full load conditions, the maximum flue gas side resistance of the air preheater may far exceed the design value. Increased flue gas side resistance leads to a significant decrease in the output of the induced draft system, affecting the unit's load-carrying capacity, increasing the risk of induced draft fan stall, and reducing the reliability of unit operation. Therefore, it is necessary to readjust the design and configuration of the air preheater's heat storage elements to adapt to the normal operation of SCR units, avoid or reduce the reduction in boiler unit availability due to excessive ash blockage in the air preheater, and modify the air preheater's heat storage elements through reasonable modification schemes. This will ensure the safe and stable operation of the unit while continuously improving its safety and economy, ultimately achieving a green, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving modern enterprise.

[0003] With the requirements of ultra-clean emission policies, full-load denitrification and stricter NOx emission standards in domestic coal-fired power units will increase the escape of ammonia during denitrification, and exacerbate the risk of ash blockage in preheaters. Traditional DU-type heat storage elements are prone to causing ammonium bisulfate substances generated during ammonia escape during denitrification to be difficult to remove, leading to increasingly severe internal blockage and ultimately reducing ventilation. The DU corrugated type has been used in the market for more than 20 years and is currently the most widely used corrugated type. The most prominent feature of the DU corrugated type is that the positioning plate has both oblique corrugations and straight corrugations, while the corrugated plate is entirely oblique corrugated. The oblique corrugations on the positioning plate and the corrugated plate are in opposite directions. The heat exchange performance and resistance performance of the DU corrugated type are relatively balanced, and it is usually used in the hot end and medium temperature end of non-denitrification preheaters.

[0004] However, the DU corrugated heat storage element is not suitable for denitrification preheaters. The internal channels of this type of heat storage element are uneven and irregular; it has "contraction points" or small local gaps that easily cause fouling; the penetration ability of soot blowing and cleaning media is weak, making it difficult to clean. When flue gas or purging steam and high-pressure water pass through the DU corrugated channel, the energy at the inlet and outlet ends will be oblique and divergent, causing airflow energy attenuation, thus failing to guarantee the heat storage element's anti-fouling and easy-to-clean performance. Therefore, a wide-channel corrugated heat storage element for air preheaters with anti-fouling properties has been invented. Utility Model Content

[0032] The clamping assembly includes: a second square plate 40, a first stud 41, a second stud 42, a first nut 43, and a second nut 44;

[0033] Several limiting rods 31 are slidably connected on the second square plate 40, and the first corrugated plate 10 and the second corrugated plate 20 are located between the first square plate 30 and the second square plate 40. The first stud 41 is fixedly installed on one end of the limiting rod 31, and the second stud 42 is fixedly installed on one end of the first stud 41. The thread directions of the first stud 41 and the second stud 42 are set to be opposite.

The diameter of the first stud 41 is larger than the diameter of the second stud 42, and the diameter of the first nut 43 is larger than the diameter of the second nut 44.

[0034] In practical use, the specific operating steps for those skilled in the art are as follows:

[0035] During installation, first, one end of the limiting rod 31 passes through the staggered first corrugated plate 10 and second corrugated plate 20. Then, the second square plate 40 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 31. After that, the first nut 43 and the second nut 44 are sequentially threaded onto the first stud 41 and the second stud 42 to compress the first corrugated plate 10 and the second corrugated plate 20. At this time, the spring 32 will deform. When cleaning is required, first remove the first nut 43 and the second nut 44 so that the first corrugated plate 10 and the second corrugated plate 20 are separated under the action of the spring 32. At this time, the dirt in the dead corners can be removed by rinsing, avoiding the continuous accumulation of dirt that will cause the channel to be blocked.

[0036] Example 2:

Then, the fourth square plate 52 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 31. After that, the third square plate 50 is fixed to the limiting rod 31. Finally, the fourth square plate 52 is moved by the electric push rod 51 to press several first corrugated plates 10 and several second corrugated plates 20 together. At this time, the spring 32 will deform. When cleaning is required, the fourth square plate 52 is returned to its original position by the electric push rod 51, so that the first corrugated plate 10 and the second corrugated plate 20 are separated under the action of the spring 32. At this time, the dirt in the dead corners can be removed by rinsing, avoiding the continuous accumulation of dirt that will block the channel.
