Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to gas-fired boilers, and more particularly to a steam boiler. Background Technology
[0002] Some existing gas-fired steam boilers include a casing, gas components, and exhaust systems. The casing has a containment cavity, where the gas components are located. The gas components include a combustion shell, a combustion heat exchanger, and a burner. The combustion shell forms the combustion chamber, and the combustion heat exchanger is located within the combustion chamber.

The flue gas in the combustion chamber is drawn in by the exhaust system and discharged to the outside through exhaust vents, creating a negative pressure within the combustion chamber. Air from the casing can then be added to the combustion chamber to facilitate combustion. Currently, the casing of steam boilers tends to overheat during operation, and this heat is difficult to utilize. Furthermore, a hot casing also poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The steam boiler of this utility model embodiment includes a casing 100, a gas assembly 200, and a flue gas assembly 300. The casing 100 has a receiving cavity 101, and a portion of the outer wall of the casing 100 has an air intake 102 communicating with the receiving cavity 101. The casing 100 also has a flue gas outlet 103. The gas assembly 200 is disposed in the casing 100 and located within the receiving cavity 101. The gas assembly 200 includes a combustion shell 210, a burner 220, and a combustion heat exchanger. The combustion shell 210 forms a combustion chamber 211, which communicates with the receiving cavity 101. The burner 220 is disposed in the combustion shell 210, and the combustion heat exchanger is disposed in the combustion shell 210 and located within the combustion chamber 211. The flue gas assembly 300 is disposed in the combustion shell 210 and is used to generate airflow from the combustion chamber 211 to the flue gas outlet 103.
[0033] When the steam boiler is working, the gas is burned at the burner 220 to heat the medium in the combustion heat exchanger. The flue gas exhaust assembly 300 draws the flue gas in the combustion chamber 211 and discharges it through the exhaust port 103, which creates a negative pressure in the combustion chamber 211. Since the housing cavity 101 of the casing 100 is connected to the combustion chamber 211, the air in the housing cavity 101 is drawn into the combustion chamber 211. The air outside the casing 100 is also drawn into the housing cavity 101 of the casing 100 through the air intake port 102 under the action of air pressure. At this time, the air flowing through the air intake port 102 recovers the heat of the casing 100, achieves the air preheating effect, and reduces the temperature of the casing 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the casing 100.
[0034] Specifically, the exhaust assembly 300 is a fan that facilitates the removal of flue gas from the combustion chamber 211 to create a negative pressure environment. It is conceivable that the exhaust assembly 300 could also be a structure such as an air pump.
[0035] In this embodiment, a condensing assembly 400 is also included. The condensing assembly 400 is disposed in the casing 100 and located in the receiving cavity 101. The condensing assembly 400 includes a condensing shell 410 and a condensing heat exchanger 420. The condensing shell 410 forms a condensing chamber 411, which is connected to the combustion chamber 211 via an exhaust assembly 300 and is also connected to an exhaust port 103. The condensing heat exchanger 420 is disposed in the condensing shell 410 and located in the condensing chamber 411, and is connected to the combustion heat exchanger. The exhaust assembly 300 draws the high-temperature flue gas from the combustion chamber 211 into the condensing chamber 411 of the condensing shell 410. The high-temperature flue gas can exchange heat with the condensing heat exchanger 420, preheating the medium within the condensing heat exchanger 420 and recovering the heat from the flue gas. Subsequently, the medium in the condensing heat exchanger 420 can enter the combustion heat exchanger for further heating to a predetermined temperature. The condensing assembly 400 helps improve the thermal efficiency of the steam boiler.
[0036] Specifically, the bottom of the condenser shell 410 is provided with a drain outlet, which is connected to the condenser chamber 411. When the flue gas is cooled by the condenser heat exchanger 420, the water vapor in the flue gas will liquefy and can be discharged from the condenser chamber 411 through the drain outlet.
[0037] In this embodiment, the combustion shell 210 is located to the left of the condensation shell 410, and the combustion shell 210 and the condensation shell 410 are arranged side by side. Both the left and right walls of the chassis 100 are provided with air intake holes 102, with more air intake holes 102 on the left wall than on the right wall. The combustion shell 210 radiates more heat to the left wall of the chassis 100 than to the right wall. Therefore, providing more air intake holes 102 on the left wall of the chassis 100 allows for better cooling and heat recovery of the key heat-generating areas of the chassis 100, and improves the overall air preheating effect.
[0038] In this embodiment, the air intake holes 102 on the left side wall are all located on the upper part of the left side wall, and the air intake holes 102 on the right side wall are all located on the upper part of the right side wall. When the gas assembly 200 is working, it is more likely to cause the upper area of the chassis 100 to heat up. Therefore, the air intake holes 102 are mainly located on the upper part of the chassis 100, which can better cool and recover the key heat-generating areas of the chassis 100 and improve the overall air preheating effect.
[0039] In this embodiment, the top wall of the chassis 100 is provided with air intake holes 102, with more air intake holes 102 on the left side of the top wall than on the right side. Since the combustion shell 210 is located to the left of the condenser shell 410, the combustion shell 210 radiates heat more significantly to the left side of the chassis 100, while the condenser chamber 411 radiates heat less significantly to the right side of the chassis 100. Therefore, the greater number of air intake holes 102 on the left side of the top wall than on the right side allows for better cooling and heat recovery of the key heat-generating areas of the chassis 100, and improves the overall air preheating effect.
[0040] In this embodiment, the exhaust assembly 300 is connected to the upper end of the combustion chamber 211, the burner 220 is located at the lower part of the combustion chamber 211, and the exhaust assembly 300 is connected to one side of the condensing chamber 411 in the horizontal direction. The upper end of the condensing chamber 411 is connected to the exhaust port 103. Gas is introduced into the burner 220 and combusted, heating the medium in the combustion heat exchanger. The high-temperature flue gas then rises and is drawn into the condensing chamber 411 through the exhaust assembly 300. The medium in the condensing heat exchanger 420 absorbs the heat from the high-temperature flue gas, recovering waste heat to cool the flue gas. The flue gas is then discharged from the exhaust port 103 above. This layout utilizes the principle of rising hot air, which is beneficial for creating a negative pressure environment within the combustion chamber 211.
[0041] In this embodiment, the lower part of the combustion chamber 211 is connected to the lower part of the accommodating cavity 101. A first air curtain channel 510 is formed between the combustion shell 210 and the side wall of the chassis 100, and a second air curtain channel 520 is formed between the condensing shell 410 and the side wall of the chassis 100. Since the intake port 102 is mainly located in the upper part of the chassis 100, after the outside air enters the accommodating cavity 101 from the upper part of the chassis 100, it needs to pass through the first air curtain channel 510 between the side wall of the chassis 100 and the combustion shell 210, or through the second air curtain channel 520 between the side wall of the chassis 100 and the condensing shell 410, before it can enter the combustion chamber 211 from the lower part, forming an air curtain-like flow along the side wall of the chassis 100, thereby enabling cooling and heat recovery of a larger area of the chassis 100.
[0042] In this embodiment, a partition 610 is also included. The partition 610 is disposed in the chassis 100 and located within the accommodating cavity 101. The partition 610 is located between the combustion shell 210 and the side wall of the chassis 100, forming a gas supply channel 620 between the partition 610 and the combustion shell 210. An air inlet 621 is provided at the upper end of the gas supply channel 620, and the lower end of the gas supply channel 620 communicates with the combustion chamber 211. The main heat source for the chassis 100 is the gas assembly 200. Therefore, the partition 610 is provided between the combustion shell 210 and the side wall of the chassis 100. The partition 610 plays a certain role in blocking heat, reducing the heat radiation transfer from the combustion shell 210 to the chassis 100, thereby reducing the degree of heat generation in the chassis 100 near the combustion shell 210. Since the baffle 610 and the combustion shell 210 form an air supply channel 620, after the outside air enters the accommodating cavity 101 through the air intake 102, it can pass through the air inlet 621, go down through the air supply channel 620 and finally enter the combustion chamber 211. The flowing air can also cool the baffle 610 and recover heat, resulting in a better air preheating effect.
[0043] In this embodiment, the chassis 100 is evenly provided with a plurality of air intake holes 102 around the exhaust hole 103, which can focus on cooling and heat recovery of the area of the chassis 100 near the exhaust hole 103, thereby improving the cooling and heat recovery effect of key areas of the chassis 100.
[0044] In this embodiment, the top wall and side wall of the chassis 100 are both provided with air intake holes 102. The air intake holes 102 on the top wall are round holes, and the air intake holes 102 on the side walls are louvered holes. The louvered holes on the side walls facilitate air intake while providing good concealment; the round holes on the top walls provide better air intake.
[0045] Specifically, the rear side wall of the chassis 100 is also arranged with multiple air intake holes 102, and the front wall of the chassis 100 is also arranged with a small number of air intake holes 102.
[0046] Specifically, the working medium in the combustion heat exchanger and condensation heat exchanger 420 can be water or oil, etc., and heat is transferred to the designated location through hot water or hot oil.
[0047] Specifically, the steam boiler is also equipped with a gas supply component, which can supply gas to the burner 220.
[0048] It should be understood that other assembly gaps in the chassis 100 can also allow air to enter the accommodating cavity 101. The air passing through other assembly gaps in the chassis 100 can also carry away the heat of the chassis 100, reduce the temperature of the chassis 100, and preheat the air using heat recovery.
