Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air preheater technology, specifically relating to an anti-corrosion device for a biomass boiler air preheater. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, biomass boiler fuels contain sulfur to varying degrees. When fuels with high sulfur content are burned, most of the sulfur in the fuel is converted into sulfur dioxide after combustion. Under certain conditions, a small portion of it is further oxidized into sulfur trioxide gas. Sulfur trioxide gas can combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid vapor, whose condensation dew point temperature is as high as 120°C or higher. The higher the acid content of the flue gas, the higher the dew point temperature, and the more severe the corrosion and ash blockage.

[0003] Most biomass boilers are currently equipped with air preheaters. When the temperature of the air preheater tube wall is lower than the dew point of the generated sulfuric acid, the sulfuric acid condenses on the tube wall, causing corrosion, which is called low-temperature corrosion. The degree of corrosion on the metal wall depends on the amount and concentration of sulfuric acid condensation and the temperature of the metal wall. The sulfuric acid acts like a film, adhering to the tube wall and corroding it, while continuously attracting soot to form various sulfates, which gradually thicken. This is low-temperature slagging.

[0004] Currently, the designed flue gas temperature of boilers equipped with air preheaters is generally 130-160℃, while the flue gas temperature of some special fuel boilers (such as waste-to-energy boilers, biomass boilers, coke oven gas boilers, etc.) is even higher. Due to the low inlet air temperature at the cold air end of the air preheater, the wall temperature of the cold air inlet tube of the air preheater is generally lower than the acid dew point of the flue gas, resulting in severe tube corrosion. Long-term operation will inevitably have a great impact on the safe operation and service life of the boiler.

[0005] In view of the above factors, a corrosion prevention device for a biomass boiler air preheater is provided. By increasing the air temperature at the inlet of the air preheater, the wall temperature of the cold end heat exchange surface of the preheater is increased, preventing condensation corrosion. The inner wall of the air preheater is provided with a base layer, an intermediate insulation layer is fixed outside the base layer, and a metal reinforcing layer is fixed outside the intermediate insulation layer. The metal reinforcing layer is closely attached to the intermediate insulation layer, and the metal reinforcing layer and the shell of the air preheater form an integral structure. By insulating the air preheater, dew point corrosion caused by flue gas encountering low temperatures is avoided. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corrosion prevention device for a biomass boiler air preheater to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a corrosion prevention device for a biomass boiler air preheater, including an air preheater and a guide duct connected to the air preheater, the guide duct including a first duct and a second duct, the second duct being connected to the inlet end of the first duct;

[0010] Furthermore, the first air duct is an indoor air duct, and the second air duct is a hot air return pipe, which is connected to the hot air outlet of the air preheater.

[0011] Furthermore, the inlet of the first air duct is located inside the biomass boiler room, and air is supplied to the biomass boiler room by the first air duct;

[0013] Furthermore, the entrance to the first air duct is located inside the biomass boiler room, and is an open and independent area.

The inlet of the first air duct is located inside the biomass boiler room, and air is supplied from the first air duct inside the biomass boiler room.

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a corrosion prevention device for a biomass boiler air preheater includes an air preheater 1 and a guide duct 2 connected to the air preheater 1. The guide duct 2 includes a first duct 21 and a second duct 22, with the second duct 22 connected to the inlet end of the first duct 21.

[0032] The air preheater 1 includes a housing 11 and a flue assembly 12 disposed within the housing 11. The flue assembly 12 includes a tube bundle 13 and tube plates 14 fixed on both sides of the tube bundle 13. The flue assembly 13 is placed vertically. The air preheater 1 has a horizontal air inlet and an air outlet. The air preheater 1 is also provided with a flue gas inlet and a flue gas outlet.

[0033] The main body of the first air duct 21 is located outdoors, while the air inlet of the first air duct 21 is located inside the biomass boiler room. The exterior of the first air duct 21 is coated with composite silicate paste insulation material with a thickness of at least 15mm, and the outer layer is wrapped with composite silicate fiberboard and bound with steel wire.

[0034] The inner wall of the air preheater 1 is provided with a base layer 15, an intermediate insulation layer 16 is fixed to the outside of the base layer 15, and a metal reinforcing layer 17 is fixed to the outside of the intermediate insulation layer 16. The metal reinforcing layer 17 is closely attached to the intermediate insulation layer 16, and the metal reinforcing layer 17 and the shell 11 of the air preheater 1 form an integral structure.

[0035] To facilitate use, the air inlet of the primary air fan is modified to increase the air inlet temperature by changing the air duct. The first air duct 21 is an indoor air duct, and the second air duct 22 is a hot air return pipe. The hot air return pipe is connected to the hot air outlet of the air preheater 1, and the other end of the hot air return pipe is connected to the fan inlet of the first air duct 21. The inlet of the first air duct 21 is located inside the biomass boiler room 3, and air is supplied from the first air duct 21 inside the biomass boiler room 3.

[0036] For ease of use, a steam-heated air heater, as disclosed in the prior art, can be installed at the front end of the air preheater and the front end of the fan for further addition treatment (the prior art of steam-heated air heaters will not be described in detail here).
