[0025] In one embodiment of this invention, a laser generator 4 is further provided within the main body 1 to generate a high-energy laser beam. The laser generator 4 is connected to an optical focuser 3 via an optical fiber 2, providing strong energy support for the entire coking and descaling process.

Coking efficiency was 80%, and the coking cycle was extended by 30%.

[0034] Experiment 3: Coking and Suppression of Superheater Surface in a 600t / d Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator. First, mechanical decoking was used to remove the coking layer from the superheater surface. Then, laser treatment was applied to the metal surface of the superheater.

[0036] In summary, this utility model's device for surface descaling and descaling in a municipal solid waste incinerator utilizes a high-energy laser beam transmitted via fiber optic cable 2 to a handheld optical focuser 3. The high-temperature ablation effect of the laser precisely targets the descaling area of ​​the incinerator, achieving non-contact descaling. The scanning galvanometer 34 can quickly adjust the laser path to expand the processing range, while the reflector 37 and focusing lens 35 work together to ensure precise beam focusing, effectively decomposing coke and suppressing secondary descaling. The handheld design allows for flexible operation to adapt to complex furnace structures, enabling real-time online processing to reduce downtime and avoid physical damage to the furnace chamber caused by traditional mechanical descaling. Simultaneously, the high-temperature melting process forms a dense layer on the furnace wall, reducing subsequent coke adhesion. This device combines efficient descaling with long-term descaling, improving the incinerator's operational stability and safety, and reducing maintenance costs and environmental risks. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and possesses high industrial application value.
