The heated cooling water is cooled by an air preheater or a wet-cooled heat exchanger, and the cooled closed-loop water continues to cool the grate and intermediate beams. When the incinerator load fluctuates or the grate heat load changes, the water flow to the grate and intermediate beams is adjusted by regulating the return water three-way valve at the pump inlet to maintain the temperature of the grate and intermediate beams above a safe level. The entire system achieves constant pressure and stable flow of the cooling water system through the installation of a pressure stabilizing tank.

[0053] The integrated heat exchanger unit is skid-mounted and equipped with a control cabinet and corresponding measuring points, making it applicable to similar incinerators and increasing the degree of modular design and versatility.
[0054] The water flow to the air preheater and water-cooled heat exchanger can be adjusted, which improves the overall heat utilization rate of the plant.
