Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam boiler technology. Background Technology
[0002] Large-tonnage steam boilers typically refer to medium to large-sized boilers with a capacity exceeding 20 tons, primarily used in industrial applications with high steam demand. Larger-tonnage steam boilers are usually equipped with multiple burners, with the air for combustion of these burners being forced in by a single blower. This means that if one burner malfunctions or needs to be restarted for other reasons, the load on all operating burners must be reduced to lower the airflow and pressure to ensure the needs of the burner requiring restarting are met. Obviously, this affects the steam output of the boiler. Utility Model Content

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0016] like Figure 1As shown, the combustion system of a large-tonnage steam boiler capable of ignition without load reduction includes: a furnace, with one or more burners 1 installed on one side of the furnace; this embodiment uses four burners 1 as an example. Each burner 1 is connected to an air supply branch pipe 2 with a supply control valve 21, and each air supply branch pipe 2 is connected to an air supply main pipe 3, which is connected to an air input device; in this embodiment, the air input device is a blower 4. Each air supply branch pipe 2 is also equipped with a check valve 22. To facilitate real-time pressure monitoring, each air supply branch pipe 2 is also equipped with a pressure sensor 23. The steam boiler mainly includes a combustion system and a steam-water system. The combustion system mainly includes the furnace, flue, and burners; the steam-water system mainly includes a steam drum and heat exchangers, including economizers, evaporators, and superheaters. The structure of the steam boiler is conventional technology for those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated in detail in this embodiment.
[0017] In this embodiment, each burner 1 is connected to an ignition and combustion air input branch pipe 5 with an ignition and combustion air input control valve 51. The output end of each ignition and combustion air input branch pipe 5 is connected to the air delivery branch pipe 2 between the corresponding burner 1 and the delivery control valve 21. In this embodiment, the output end of each ignition and combustion air input branch pipe 5 is connected to the air delivery branch pipe 2 via a tee 8. The check valve 22, delivery control valve 21, and pressure sensor 23 on each air delivery branch pipe 2 are arranged sequentially in the direction of airflow. The output end of each ignition and combustion air input branch pipe 5 is connected to the air delivery branch pipe 2 between the pressure sensor 23 and the delivery control valve 21.
[0018] Each ignition and combustion air inlet branch pipe 5 is equipped with an ignition and combustion air control valve 51, which is a solenoid valve for easy control. Each ignition and combustion air inlet branch pipe 5 is also equipped with an ignition and combustion air flow regulating valve 52, which facilitates the adjustment of the ignition and combustion air flow. In this embodiment, the ignition and combustion air control valve 51 is a needle valve, which features simple structure, high sealing performance, high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, and good corrosion resistance.
[0019] The input end of each ignition and combustion air input branch pipe 5 is connected to the ignition and combustion air supply main pipe 6, which is connected to a compressed air source. In this embodiment, the compressed air source includes an air compressor unit 7.
[0020] Furthermore, to ensure voltage stability for the large-tonnage steam boiler, the power supply structure used in this embodiment includes: a 380V three-phase external power supply 10, with its two live wires connected to the two high-voltage side terminals of an isolation transformer 20. The isolation transformer outputs 220V on its low-voltage side, and the two low-voltage side terminals of the isolation transformer 20 are connected to internal power lines 30 used to power the equipment. An indicator light 301 is installed between the two internal power lines 30 to facilitate checking for power supply abnormalities. The isolation transformer is an AC 220V isolation transformer.
[0021] When the boiler is operating normally, the ignition and combustion air control valve 51 on each ignition and combustion air input branch pipe 5 is in the closed state, and the delivery control valve 21 on each air delivery branch pipe 2 is in the open state. All burners 1 are in operation, and air is delivered by the blower 4 through the air delivery main pipe 3, and then through each air delivery branch pipe 2 to each burner 1 as the combustion gas required for combustion.
[0022] When one of the burners 1 malfunctions and needs to be re-ignited, the supply control valve 21 on the air supply branch pipe 2 corresponding to burner 1 is closed, and the ignition and combustion air control valve 51 on the ignition and combustion air input branch pipe 5 corresponding to burner 1 is opened. Compressed air generated by the air compressor unit 7 enters the burner 1 through the ignition and combustion air supply main pipe 6 and the air supply branch pipe 2 to supply the ignition requirements. The flow rate of the combustion air can be adjusted by regulating the opening of the ignition and combustion air flow regulating valve 52 to ensure effective ignition. Since the air for the burner that needs to be re-ignited is supplied separately, the other burners that are in operation do not need to reduce their load, and the boiler can basically maintain its original load operation, which greatly improves the boiler's operating efficiency.
[0023] Furthermore, during the long-term operation of the boiler, the applicant discovered that the traditional boiler power supply structure, which uses one live wire and one neutral wire from a 380V three-phase external power supply connected to the boiler, has the following drawbacks: large voltage fluctuations easily cause damage to pressure, temperature, and other transmitters in the boiler equipment, which seriously affects the normal operation of the boiler.
[0024] See Figure 2 As shown, compared with the traditional structure, the power supply structure of the boiler in this application uses two live wires of a 380V three-phase external power supply 10 to be transformed into 220V voltage through an isolation transformer 20, which serves as the internal power supply of the boiler. This can effectively reduce voltage fluctuations, thereby greatly extending the service life of the boiler equipment.
[0025] As can be seen from the above, the combustion system of the large-tonnage steam boiler described in this application, which can ignite without reducing the load, has a simple and ingenious structure. It can re-ignite one or more burners without reducing the load, greatly improving the combustion stability of all burners and the heat output stability of the boiler. The novel power supply structure, through the isolation transformer 20, outputs a stable voltage, thereby avoiding the impact of voltage fluctuations on the equipment and further ensuring the stable operation of the burners.
