[0026] Black water contains a large amount of gasification ash and slag, and its water quality is extremely poor. The content of solid particles can reach 1%-4% at most. It has high hardness. Black water only flows in the forward direction in the coal gasification black water heat exchange device, which can easily cause sludge and scale buildup inside the device. Cleaning and maintenance are very labor-intensive, material-intensive, and time-consuming. Sometimes, the equipment is even shut down for a long time for cleaning and maintenance, which delays the normal use of the equipment by customers.

[0027] Therefore, the design concept of this application is to adopt the backwashing design concept. After adding a fully automatic backwashing device to the coal gasification black water heat exchange device, the black water can be automatically backwashed inside the device. The backwashing, which runs in reverse, removes the ash, scale and deposits in the heat exchange device, reduces the scaling and blockage of black water inside the heat exchanger, maintains the heat exchange efficiency of the equipment, ensures the long-term stable operation of the system, extends the service life of the equipment, has low cleaning cost, and is more convenient, labor-saving and time-saving. The cleaning and maintenance period is shorter, the maintenance frequency is reduced, and the normal use of the customer is guaranteed.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides a fully automatic backwashing device for a coal gasification black water heat extraction device, installed on the coal gasification black water heat extraction device 100. It includes a black water inlet S1, which is connected to a main water inlet 1. The left and right ends of the main water inlet 1 are respectively connected to a left T-junction 2 and a right T-junction 3. One end of the left T-junction 2 is connected to the inlet S3 of the coal gasification black water heat extraction device 100, and the other end of the left T-junction 2 is connected to a main water outlet 4. The main water outlet 4 is connected to a black water outlet S2. One end of the right T-junction 3 is connected to the outlet S4 of the coal gasification black water heat extraction device 100, and the other end of the right T-junction 3 is connected to the main water outlet 4.

[0029] Pressure gauge I can be installed between one end of the left tee 2 and the inlet S3 of the coal gasification black water heat extraction device 100, and pressure gauge II can be installed between one end of the right tee 3 and the outlet S4 of the coal gasification black water heat extraction device 100, for detecting water pressure.

[0030] The black water inlet S1 is connected to an inlet branch pipe 5, which is connected to the main inlet pipe 1; the main outlet pipe 4 is connected to an outlet branch pipe 6, which is connected to the black water outlet S1.

[0031] It is understandable that by using the inlet branch pipe 5 and the outlet branch pipe 6, it is easier to connect the black water inlet S1 to the main inlet pipe 1 and the outlet branch pipe 6 to the black water outlet S1.

[0032] An electric valve I7 is installed between the inlet branch pipe 5 and the left tee 2; the other end of the left tee 2 is connected to the left outlet pipe 8, the left outlet pipe 8 is connected to the electric valve IV9, and the electric valve IV9 is connected to the outlet main pipe 4.

[0033] It is understandable that electric valve I7 is used to switch the inlet branch pipe 5 and the left tee 2 on and off, and electric valve IV9 is used to switch the left tee 2 and the outlet main pipe 4 on and off.

[0034] An electric valve II 10 is installed between the water inlet branch pipe 5 and the right tee 3; the other end of the right tee 3 is connected to the right water outlet pipe 11, the right water outlet pipe 11 is connected to the electric valve III 12, and the electric valve III 12 is connected to the main water outlet pipe 4.

[0035] It is understandable that electric valve II10 is used to switch the inlet branch pipe 5 and the right tee 3 on and off, and electric valve III12 is used to switch the right tee 3 and the outlet main pipe 4 on and off.

[0036] Among them, electric valve I7, electric valve II10, electric valve III12, and electric valve IV9 are all electric wear-resistant hemispherical valves.

[0037] Understandably, directly using existing finished electric wear-resistant hemispherical valves would facilitate the rapid implementation of the solution.

[0038] It also includes a PLC control cabinet 13, which is electrically connected to electric valve I7, electric valve II10, electric valve III12, and electric valve IV9 respectively.

[0039] Understandably, PLC control cabinet 13 can control the switching of electric valve I7, electric valve II10, electric valve III12, and electric valve IV9, which facilitates automated operation.

[0040] This application makes the following innovations to the coal gasification black water heat extraction device 100:

[0041] Four electric wear-resistant hemispherical valves (electric valve I7, electric valve II10, electric valve III12, and electric valve IV9) are installed at the inlet and outlet of the black water heat extraction device. Through the automatic switching of the flushing process in the PLC control cabinet 13, reverse backflushing is achieved to ensure that the device does not clog during long-term operation.

[0042] PLC control cabinet 13 is a fully automatic control cabinet, with a PLC or DCS automatic control system that can realize timed automatic flushing.

[0043] Through the above improvements, this application achieves the following effects:

[0044] The addition of a fully automatic backwashing device reduces scale and blockage of black water inside the heat exchanger, ensuring long-term operation, maintaining stable system operation, reducing unplanned shutdowns, and lowering manual cleaning costs and safety hazards.

[0045] The electric wear-resistant hemispherical valve of the backwashing device can also serve as an on / off switch, enabling maintenance and shutdown, and achieving intelligent management of the black water treatment system.

[0046] The heat exchange process of this application is as follows: Black water enters the coal gasification black water heat exchange device 100 through the black water inlet S1. Electric valve I7 and electric valve III12 are opened, while electric valve II10 and electric valve IV9 are closed. The black water enters the inlet S3 of the coal gasification black water heat exchange device 100 through electric valve I7. When the system is running normally, the black water enters the coal gasification black water heat exchange device 100 and exchanges heat with the cold side medium. After heat exchange, the black water flows out through the outlet S4, electric valve III12, and black water outlet S2 to realize black water side discharge and enter the next stage system.

[0047] The backwashing process of this application is as follows: When the system reaches the pre-designed time, the PLC control cabinet 1 sends a signal to close electric valve I7 and electric valve III12, while simultaneously opening electric valve II10 and electric valve IV9. Black water enters the coal gasification black water heat exchanger 100 from the outlet S4 and begins to flow in reverse for backwashing. The backwashed black water flows out through the inlet S3, electric valve IV9, and black water outlet S2, thus realizing the backwashing of the black water inside the heat exchanger.

Unless explicitly required, individual components and functions are optional, and the order of operation may vary. Some parts and features of some embodiments may be included or replace parts and features of other embodiments.
