[0002] In calcium-based wet desulfurization systems, oxidizing air is often required to oxidize the calcium sulfite produced in the reaction into more stable gypsum and promote the absorption of sulfur dioxide. Oxidizing air is usually supplied by a ventilation fan; however, during the compression process, the air temperature rises and the relative humidity decreases, which can easily cause scaling and blockage at the outlet of the oxidizing air duct where it contacts the slurry, affecting the normal operation of the unit. Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of the unit, it is necessary to de-temperature and humidify the oxidizing air entering the absorption tower. Utility Model Content

[0035] Calcium-based wet desulfurization systems are a widely used flue gas desulfurization technology in industrial fields such as coal-fired power plants. Its core is to achieve efficient desulfurization by chemically reacting calcium-based absorbents (such as limestone or quicklime) with sulfur dioxide (SO2) in flue gas.
[0036] In calcium-based wet desulfurization systems, oxidizing air is often required to oxidize the calcium sulfite produced in the reaction into more stable gypsum and promote the absorption of sulfur dioxide. Oxidizing air is usually supplied by a ventilation fan; however, during the compression process, the air temperature rises and the relative humidity decreases, causing scaling and blockage at the outlet of the oxidizing air duct where it contacts the slurry, affecting the normal operation of the unit. Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of the unit, it is necessary to de-temperature and humidify the oxidizing air entering the absorption tower.
[0037] To address the technical problem in calcium-based wet desulfurization systems where air temperature rises and relative humidity decreases during compression, causing scaling and blockage at the outlet of the oxidation air duct where it contacts the slurry, thus affecting the normal operation of the unit, this application provides an oxidation air humidification device. This device sprays humidifying and de-cooling water mist into the mixing chamber of the device via a cooler, mixing the humidifying and de-cooling water mist with the oxidation air, thereby humidifying and de-cooling the oxidation air and ensuring the normal operation of the unit.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an oxidizing air humidification device provided in an embodiment of this application. The oxidizing air humidification device includes a main body 10 and a cooler 20. The main body 10 has a mixing chamber 110 and an air inlet 120 for communicating with the mixing chamber 110. Oxidizing air enters the mixing chamber 110 of the main body 10 through the air inlet 120. The cooler 20 is installed on the main body 10, and one end of the cooler 20 extends into the mixing chamber 110. During use, the cooler 20 atomizes cooling water with compressed gas to form a humidifying and de-cooling water mist, and sprays the humidifying and de-cooling water mist into the mixing chamber 110. This allows the humidifying and de-cooling water mist to mix with the oxidizing air in the mixing chamber 110. The fine water droplets in the humidifying and de-cooling water mist mix with the high-temperature oxidizing air, resulting in heat exchange and mass transfer, which in turn lowers the temperature of the oxidizing air and increases the humidity, thereby achieving the purpose of humidification and de-cooling.
[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet direction of the air inlet 120 is not parallel to the direction of the humidifying and de-cooling water mist sprayed by the cooler 20. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the air inlet direction of the air inlet 120 and the direction of the humidifying and de-cooling water mist sprayed by the cooler 20 are at a certain angle, so that the humidifying and de-cooling water mist and the air inlet direction form a coordinated flow, thereby enhancing the gas-liquid contact.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet 120 is perpendicular to the direction of the humidifying and de-cooling water mist sprayed by the cooler 20, so that the humidifying and de-cooling water mist sprayed by the cooler 20 can be more fully mixed with the oxidizing air, thereby increasing the humidifying and de-cooling effect of the cooler 20 on the oxidizing air.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the main body 10 is also provided with an air outlet 130, and the air outlet 130 is located in the direction of the humidifying and de-cooling water mist sprayed by the cooler 20. It can be understood that in this embodiment, after the oxidizing air enters the mixing chamber 110 through the air inlet 120, it is fully mixed with the humidifying and de-cooling water mist sprayed by the cooler 20. During this process, the humidifying and de-cooling water mist sprayed by the cooler 20 will push the oxidizing air to flow towards the air outlet 130, thereby increasing the smoothness of the flow of oxidizing air in the main body 10.
[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet 130 is provided with a connector 140, which is used to fix external objects to the air outlet 130. The connector 140 enables the air outlet 130 to be connected to the calcium-based wet desulfurization system more conveniently. For example, in this embodiment, the air outlet 130 of the oxidizing air humidification device body 10 and the calcium-based wet desulfurization system can be connected by a flange, a threaded connection, a quick-release connector, or direct welding.
[0043] It should be noted that when the air inlet 120 or cooler 20 on the main body 10 of the oxidation air humidification device is connected to other components, flange connection, threaded connection, quick-release joint connection or direct welding can also be used.
[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the main body 10 is provided with a fixing port 150. The cooler 20 extends into the mixing chamber 110 through the fixing port 150, and the cooler 20 is detachably connected to the main body 10. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the cooler 20 and the main body 10 are designed separately, so that when the cooler 20 needs to be maintained in the future, it can be disassembled and processed separately, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty of the oxidation air humidification device.
[0045] In some embodiments, the fixing port 150 is a threaded hole, and the side wall of the cooler 20 is provided with a thread that matches the threaded hole. The cooler 20 is detachably connected to the body 10 through the thread. The connection between the cooler 20 and the body 10 through the thread reduces the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the cooler 20.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the cooler 20 includes a cooling water pipe 210, a compressed air delivery pipe 220, and a nozzle 230. One end of the compressed air delivery pipe 220 extends into the mixing chamber 110, and the nozzle 230 is located at the end of the compressed air delivery pipe 220 that extends into the mixing chamber 110. The nozzle 230 has a cavity for mixing compressed air and cooling water. The cooling water pipe 210 is located inside the compressed air delivery pipe 220, and one end of the cooling water pipe 210 extends towards the cavity. During use, cooling water and compressed air are delivered to the cavity of the nozzle 230 through the cooling water pipe 210 and the compressed air delivery pipe 220, respectively. When the cooling water comes into contact with the compressed air, the cooling water is dispersed by the compressed air to form droplets with a particle size of less than 120 micrometers, which are then sprayed out of the nozzle 230, thereby forming a humidifying and de-cooling water mist.
[0047] In some embodiments, the nozzle 230 has an outlet 240 for humidifying and de-cooling water mist at its end. The nozzle 230 has multiple outlets 240 at its end, and the outlets 240 are arranged around the end of the nozzle with the axis of the nozzle 230 as the center. The water mist is sprayed out through the multiple outlets 240 at the end of the nozzle 230 and can be evenly distributed in the mixing chamber 110, so that the humidifying and de-cooling water mist can come into more complete contact with the oxidizing air, thereby improving the humidifying and de-cooling effect of the oxidizing air.
[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the cooler 20 extends into the mixing chamber 110 and extends toward the air inlet 120, and the end of the cooler 20 does not protrude from the air inlet 120. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the air inlet 120 is located in front of the end of the cooler 20, so that the water mist sprayed by the cooler 20 can fully contact the oxidizing air to ensure the humidification and cooling effect of the oxidizing air.
[0049] It should be noted that this application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above embodiments are merely examples, and any embodiments with the same structure and effect as the technical concept within the scope of this application are included in the technical scope of this application. Furthermore, various modifications that can be conceived by those skilled in the art to the embodiments, and other ways of constructing by combining some of the constituent elements of the embodiments, without departing from the spirit of this application, are also included in the scope of this application.
