[0029] See Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a waste heat recovery device for formaldehyde synthesis exhaust gas, including a base 1. A combustion chamber 2 is fixedly installed on the right side of the top of the base 1. A heat return pipe 8 is fixedly installed inside the combustion chamber 2. The top of the heat return pipe 8 passes through the combustion chamber 2 and extends to the top of the combustion chamber 2. A second annular nozzle 9 is arranged inside the combustion chamber 2 and below the heat return pipe 8. A waste heat recovery mechanism 3 is arranged on the top of the base 1 and on the left side of the combustion chamber 2. The combustion chamber 2 is used to burn the exhaust gas after formaldehyde removal. The heat return pipe 8 is used to contain water, thereby recovering the heat generated by the combustion of the exhaust gas. The waste heat recovery mechanism 3 is used to recover the exhaust gas generated by the formaldehyde reaction, avoiding the problem of heat waste caused by direct emission.
[0030] The waste heat recovery mechanism 3 includes a first heat exchange box 301 fixedly installed on the left side of the top of the base 1 and a second heat exchange box 302 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 and located to the right of the first heat exchange box 301. Both the first and second heat exchange boxes 301 and 302 have heat exchangers 311 fixedly installed inside. The bottom of the heat exchanger 311 inside the first heat exchange box 301 is connected to a first water pipe 303, and the end of the first water pipe 303 is connected to the top of the heat exchanger 311 inside the second heat exchange box 302. The bottom of the heat exchanger 311 inside the second heat exchange box 302 is connected to a water supply port 310. The water supply port 310 passes through the second heat exchange box 302 and extends to the bottom of the second heat exchange box 302. The first heat exchange box 301 and the heat exchanger 311 are used to exchange heat with the exhaust gas generated in the production process. The first heat exchange box 301 and the heat exchanger 311 are used to transfer heat to the water in which formaldehyde is dissolved during the water dissolution process, and then exchange heat with the water again, further removing heat and increasing the heat recovery rate.
[0031] The bottom of the first heat exchange box 301 is connected to a gas supply port 305, and the top of the first heat exchange box 301 is connected to a first gas guide pipe 306. The end of the first gas guide pipe 306 extends into the interior of the second heat exchange box 302 and is located below the heat exchanger 311 inside the second heat exchange box 302, connected to a first annular nozzle 312. The gas supply port 305 is connected to the pipe discharged from formaldehyde production. The first gas guide pipe 306 sends the exhaust gas after gas heat exchange inside the first heat exchange box 301 to the interior of the second heat exchange box 302. The first annular nozzle 312 evenly sprays the exhaust gas after preliminary heat exchange into the interior of the second heat exchange box 302 to mix with the formaldehyde absorption liquid and thus eliminate the formaldehyde in the exhaust gas.
[0032] The rear side of the top of the second heat exchange box 302 is connected to a water inlet 308, and the bottom of the second heat exchange box 302 is connected to a water return outlet 309. The water inlet 308 is used to inject formaldehyde absorption liquid into the interior of the second heat exchange box 302, and the water return outlet 309 discharges the formaldehyde-absorbing absorption liquid to remove formaldehyde from the exhaust gas.
[0033] The top of the heat exchanger 311 inside the first heat exchange box 301 is connected to the second water pipe 304. The end of the second water pipe 304 is connected to the top of the heat return pipe 8. The second water pipe 304 sends the water from the two heat exchanges to the inside of the heat return pipe 8 for further heating and absorption of the heat from the exhaust gas combustion.
[0034] The front side of the top of the second heat exchange box 302 is connected to the second air guide pipe 307. The end of the second air guide pipe 307 extends into the interior of the combustion box 2 and is connected to the second annular nozzle 9. The second air guide pipe 307 sends the exhaust gas that removes formaldehyde into the interior of the combustion box 2 for combustion of combustibles.
[0035] The bottom of the heat return pipe 8 is connected to the water outlet 6, which extends to the bottom of the combustion chamber 2. The right side of the top of the combustion chamber 2 is connected to the exhaust pipe 4. The water outlet 6 is connected to the conduit to discharge the water that has absorbed heat, and the exhaust pipe 4 discharges the exhaust gas after combustion.
[0036] An igniter 7 is fixedly installed on the left side of the bottom of the combustion chamber 2, and a blower 5 is connected to the right side of the bottom of the combustion chamber 2. The igniter 7 is used to ignite the gas inside the combustion chamber 2, and the blower 5 sends outside air into the interior to provide oxygen for the combustible gas to facilitate combustion.
[0037] This embodiment of the invention achieves waste heat recovery and formaldehyde removal from exhaust gas through a combination of multi-stage heat exchange and combustion treatment. The exhaust gas emitted from formaldehyde production enters the first heat exchange box 301 via the gas supply interface 305, where it exchanges heat with the internal heat exchanger 311, transferring some heat to the water within the heat exchanger 311. After preliminary heat exchange, the exhaust gas is sent through the first air guide pipe 306 to the first annular spray pipe 312 within the second heat exchange box 302, where it is evenly sprayed and mixed with the formaldehyde absorbent liquid injected through the water inlet 308. This process eliminates formaldehyde from the exhaust gas while transferring heat to the absorbent liquid, which then exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 311 within the second heat exchange box 302, further heating the water within the heat exchanger 311. The water in the heat exchanger 311 circulates between the two boxes via the first water guide pipe 303, continuously absorbing heat.
[0038] The exhaust gas, after formaldehyde removal treatment, enters the second annular nozzle 9 inside the combustion chamber 2 through the second air guide pipe 307 and is evenly sprayed into the combustion chamber 2. At the same time, the blower 5 sends in oxygen, which is ignited by the igniter 7 and then burned. The heat generated by the combustion heats the water in the heat return pipe 8, and finally the hot water is discharged from the outlet 6. The exhaust gas after combustion is discharged through the exhaust pipe 4.
[0039] How to use:
[0040] 1. Connect the relevant pipes: Connect the pipe from formaldehyde production to the gas supply interface 305, the water supply pipe to the water supply port 310, the hot water pipe to the water outlet 6, and the supply and return pipes of the formaldehyde absorption liquid to the water inlet 308 and the return port 309, respectively.
[0041] 2. Start-up device: Water is sent into the heat exchanger 311 in the second heat exchange box 302 through the water supply port 310. The water enters the heat exchanger 311 in the first heat exchange box 301 through the first water guide pipe 303, and finally is sent to the heat return pipe 8 through the second water guide pipe 304.
[0042] 3. Exhaust gas treatment and heat exchange: The exhaust gas undergoes two heat exchanges in the first heat exchange box 301 and the second heat exchange box 302 in sequence, while formaldehyde is removed in the second heat exchange box 302.
[0043] 4. Combustion heating: The exhaust gas after formaldehyde removal enters the combustion chamber 2 for combustion, which heats the water in the heat return pipe 8. The exhaust gas after combustion is discharged through the exhaust pipe 4, the hot water is discharged through the outlet 6, and the absorbent liquid that has absorbed formaldehyde is discharged through the return water outlet 309.
