[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] This utility model provides a marine fuel oil exhaust gas combined steam boiler, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the device includes a cylindrical body 1, a furnace 2 installed at the lower part of the interior of the cylindrical body 1, an outer tube 4 installed at the upper part of the interior of the cylindrical body 1, a heating tube 5 installed inside the outer tube 4, a first flue gas outlet 41 installed at the top of the outer tube 4, a burner 3 connected to one side of the furnace 2, an exhaust gas box 6 installed at the bottom of the cylindrical body 1, and several furnace tubes 8 vertically installed on one side of the interior of the cylindrical body 1. A second flue gas outlet 81 is installed at the upper end of the furnace tubes 8, and the lower end of the furnace tubes 8 is connected to the exhaust gas box 6.
[0030] Furnace 2, located at the bottom of cylinder 1, works in conjunction with burner 3 to provide fuel oil combustion heating. An outer tube 4, located at the top of cylinder 1, forms a heat exchange structure with a heating tube 5. Combustion flue gas is discharged from the first flue gas outlet 41 at the top of the outer tube 4. Exhaust gas is collected in the exhaust gas box 6 and flows upward through furnace tube 8, utilizing waste heat to heat the medium inside cylinder 1. The waste gas is discharged from the second flue gas outlet 81 at the top of furnace tube 8. This dual utilization of fuel oil combustion and waste heat significantly improves energy efficiency and reduces exhaust gas emissions.
[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a water supply pipe 11 is connected to one side of the bottom of the cylinder 1, a cleaning port 12 is provided on the other side of the bottom of the cylinder 1, and an insulation layer 13 is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 1.
[0032] A water supply pipe 11 on one side of the bottom of the cylinder 1 replenishes the boiler water; a cleaning port 12 on the other side of the bottom regularly cleans the internal dirt of the cylinder 1; and an insulation layer 13 on the outer wall of the cylinder 1 reduces heat loss. This ensures the normal operation of the boiler water circulation system, extends equipment life, and reduces energy consumption.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the cylinder 1 is sequentially equipped with a lifting lug 14, a safety valve seat 15, a pressure gauge seat 16, a main steam pipe seat 17, and a water level gauge 18.
[0034] The lifting lug 14 at the top of the boiler shell 1 facilitates equipment installation and maintenance; the safety valve pipe 15 ensures pressure safety; the pressure gauge pipe seat 16 and the water level gauge 18 monitor operating parameters in real time; and the main steam pipe seat 17 outputs steam. These features enhance equipment safety and maintainability, ensuring stable boiler operation.
[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, an upper tube sheet 21 is installed on the upper part of the furnace 2, and a lower tube sheet 22 is installed on the lower part. The bottom of the furnace 2 is connected to the bottom inner wall of the cylinder 1 by a bracing rod 23.
[0036] The upper tube sheet 21 at the top of the furnace 2 and the lower tube sheet 22 at the bottom fix the furnace structure; the bracing rod 23 connects the bottom of the furnace 2 to the inner wall of the bottom of the cylinder 1, enhancing the connection strength. This improves the furnace's pressure-bearing capacity and ensures structural stability under high temperature and high pressure conditions.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the heating pipe 5 is connected to the upper interior of the cylinder 1, and the lower end of the heating pipe 5 is connected to the lower interior of the cylinder 1.
[0038] The upper and lower ends of the heating pipe 5 are connected to the upper and lower parts of the interior of the cylinder 1, respectively, forming a natural circulation loop. This enhances heat exchange using the thermosiphon principle, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and ensuring stable steam production.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the exhaust gas chamber 6 is provided with an exhaust gas inlet 61, and a drain outlet 62 is provided on one side of the bottom of the exhaust gas chamber 6.
[0040] The exhaust gas inlet 61 at the bottom of the exhaust gas chamber 6 introduces ship exhaust gas; the drain outlet 62 on one side at the bottom periodically discharges impurities from the exhaust gas. This optimizes the exhaust gas flow path, reduces ash accumulation and blockage, and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the furnace chamber 2 is connected to a drain pipe seat 7.
[0042] The drain pipe seat 7 at the bottom of the furnace 2 discharges deposits and impurities from the furnace. This prevents scale buildup from affecting combustion efficiency and reduces maintenance costs.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the furnace 2 is provided with a fire-resistant protective layer 24, and a fire observation tube 25 is connected to one side of the furnace 2.
[0044] The refractory protective layer 24 on the inner wall of the furnace 2 resists the erosion of high-temperature flames; the observation tube 25 allows for real-time monitoring of the combustion status in the furnace. This extends the service life of the furnace, facilitates operator monitoring of the combustion process, and ensures safe and efficient operation.
[0045] In operation, this marine fuel oil exhaust gas combined steam boiler operates as follows: Upon startup, the burner 3 delivers fuel oil into the furnace 2 for combustion. Within the enclosed furnace 2, the fuel oil burns thoroughly, releasing a significant amount of heat energy, which is directly used to heat the medium inside the boiler shell 1. Simultaneously, the flue gas generated by combustion rises into the heat exchange structure formed by the outer tube 4 and the heating tube 5. The heat carried by the flue gas is transferred through the tube wall to the medium inside the heating tube 5. After the first heat exchange, the flue gas is discharged from the boiler through the first flue gas outlet 41. Exhaust gas generated during ship operation enters the boiler through the exhaust gas inlet 61 at the bottom of the exhaust gas box 6. The exhaust gas flows upwards along the furnace tube 8, where it exchanges heat with the medium inside the boiler shell 1, transferring residual heat from the exhaust gas to the medium to further heat the water inside the boiler shell 1, achieving efficient utilization of the waste heat. After heat exchange, the exhaust gas is discharged from the second flue gas outlet 81 at the top of the furnace tube 8, reducing energy waste and environmental pollution caused by direct exhaust gas emissions.
[0046] Water is supplied to the boiler through the water supply pipe 11 on one side of the bottom of the cylinder 1, forming a stable water circulation system. The upper and lower ends of the heating pipe 5 are connected to the upper and lower parts of the cylinder 1, respectively. Utilizing the principle of thermosiphon, the density of the water inside the cylinder 1 changes after being heated, resulting in natural circulation. Under the dual heating of fuel combustion and waste heat from exhaust gas, the water continuously absorbs heat, gradually rises in temperature, and vaporizes to form steam.
[0047] The safety valve pipe 15 at the top of the boiler body 1 monitors the internal pressure in real time. When the pressure exceeds the set value, it automatically opens to release pressure, ensuring the safe operation of the boiler. The pressure gauge pipe seat 16 and the water level gauge 18 are used to monitor the pressure and water level, respectively, and the operator can adjust the operating parameters according to the data. During operation, the drain pipe seat 7 at the bottom of the furnace 2, the drain port 62 at the bottom of one side of the exhaust gas box 6, and the cleaning port 12 at the bottom of the boiler body 1 can regularly clean the deposits, impurities, and dirt in various parts to maintain the cleanliness of the equipment and ensure combustion efficiency and heat exchange effect. At the same time, the refractory protective layer 24 on the inner wall of the furnace 2 resists high temperature corrosion, and the observation tube 25 allows the operator to observe the combustion status and adjust the combustion conditions in a timely manner.
[0048] The generated steam is output through the main steam pipe seat 17 to power other equipment on the ship, completing the entire energy conversion and output process. Throughout the operation, the insulation layer 13 on the outer wall of the cylinder 1 reduces heat loss, and the upper tube sheet 21, lower tube sheet 22, and bracing rod 23 of the furnace 2 ensure the stability of the furnace structure, enabling the boiler to operate safely, efficiently, and stably.
