[0002] A thermal power plant, or coal-fired power plant for short, is a factory that uses combustible materials as fuel to produce electricity. Its basic production process is as follows: fuel burns to heat water and generate steam, converting the chemical energy of the fuel into heat energy. The steam pressure drives a turbine to rotate, converting the heat energy into mechanical energy. The turbine then drives a generator to rotate, converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The prime mover is usually a steam engine or a gas turbine; in some smaller power plants, an internal combustion engine may also be used. They all generate electricity by utilizing the pressure drop during the process of high-temperature, high-pressure steam or gas being converted into low-pressure air or condensate through a turbine. In my country, coal-fired power generation plays a crucial role in the electricity supply.

[0003] However, during the production process of coal-fired power plants, a large amount of heat is wasted with the emission of flue gas, which not only causes energy loss but also causes thermal pollution to the environment. Flue gas loss has become an extremely important heat loss in boiler operation. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a waste heat recovery device for flue gas from coal-fired power plants to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a waste heat recovery device for flue gas from a coal-fired power plant includes a first waste heat recovery structure 1, a second waste heat recovery structure 2, and an air inlet pipe 3. A valve 4 is installed on the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 3. The second waste heat recovery structure 2 includes a water storage tank 201. A temperature sensor 205 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the water storage tank 201, and a display screen 206 is installed on the upper surface of the water storage tank 201. The contact area with the flue gas is expanded by the annular heat-conducting fins 102 on the inner wall of the heat-conducting pipe 101, and the residence time of the flue gas is extended by the S-shaped air guide hole 204 in the water storage tank 201. The dual effect improves the heat exchange effect and makes full use of the waste heat of the flue gas.

[0023] The first thermal coal-fired power plant flue gas waste heat recovery structure 1 includes a heat-conducting pipe 101. Two connecting rods 103 are connected to the outer surface of the heat-conducting pipe 101. One end of each connecting rod 103 is connected to a connecting plate 104. Two mounting holes 105 are opened on the back of each connecting plate 104. Each mounting hole 105 is equipped with a mounting screw 106. The inner wall of the heat-conducting pipe 101 is connected to annularly arranged heat-conducting fins 102. The side of each group of heat-conducting fins 102 that is close to each other is connected to the air inlet pipe 3. This not only makes the heat conduction effect of the heat-conducting pipe 101 better, but also makes the waste heat recovery effect of the equipment better.

[0024] The bottom surface of the water storage tank 201 is connected to a ring of supporting legs 5. Each supporting leg 5 has a base 6 connected to its outer surface to support the equipment. The upper surface of the water storage tank 201 has a water inlet 202. The inside of the water inlet 202 is equipped with a sealing plug 203 to prevent external impurities from entering the interior of the water storage tank 201. The inner wall of the water storage tank 201 has an S-shaped air guide hole 204. One end of the air inlet pipe 3 is connected to the S-shaped air guide hole 204. The outer surface of the water storage tank 201 is connected to an air outlet pipe 209. The bottom surface of the water storage tank 201 is connected to a water outlet pipe 207. A control valve 208 is installed on the outer surface of the water outlet pipe 207 to allow the flue gas to remain in the water storage tank 201 for a longer time, thereby increasing the waste heat recovery efficiency of the equipment.

[0025] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, flue gas is introduced through the air inlet pipe 3, and the air intake is controlled by the valve 4. As the flue gas flows within the air inlet pipe 3, heat is transferred to the outer heat-conducting fins 102, and then conducted through the heat-conducting pipe 101, achieving initial waste heat recovery. Simultaneously, the flue gas enters the water storage tank 201 through the S-shaped air guide hole 204, where it fully exchanges heat with the water inside, further recovering waste heat. The temperature sensor 205 monitors the water temperature in real time and displays the temperature on the display screen 206. The heat-exchanged flue gas is discharged through the air outlet pipe 209, and hot water can be discharged through the water outlet pipe 207, regulated by the control valve 208.
