Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of environmental protection equipment technology, and in particular relates to a mixed flow heat recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial waste gas treatment, RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) equipment discharges two streams of waste gas with significant temperature differences during operation: one is high-temperature hot exhaust gas (temperatures can reach 900℃), and the other is low-temperature gas emitted normally (80-100℃). Current technologies typically require separate mixing and heat exchangers: the mixing unit mixes the high and low temperature waste gases, lowering the temperature of the high-temperature gas to prevent damage to downstream equipment; the heat exchanger recovers the waste heat from the waste gas and converts it into hot water for domestic use.

[0003] This separate setup has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. High equipment cost: Two independent sets of equipment are required, increasing manufacturing and installation costs;

[0005] 2. Large footprint: The two sets of equipment need to be arranged separately, occupying more factory space;

[0006] 3. Energy loss: There is heat loss when gas is transferred between the two sets of equipment, resulting in low energy efficiency.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated device to solve the problems of high cost, large footprint, and high energy consumption in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mixed-flow heat recovery device, which integrates the mixer and the heat exchanger into the same housing to achieve the integrated function of "mixed cooling" and "heat recovery".

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] This utility model is a mixed-flow heat recovery device, comprising:

[0011] The outer casing serves to form the main structure of the equipment and the airflow channel;

[0012] An insulation layer, located inside the outer shell, is used for heat insulation;

[0013] A mixer, housed within the casing, is used to mix high-temperature flue gas and low-temperature flue gas;

[0014] The heat exchanger water pipes are located inside the shell and are used for heat exchange with the mixed flue gas.

[0015] In one embodiment, the mixer consists of multiple mixing plates made of SS304 stainless steel.

[0016] In one embodiment, the insulation layer is made of aluminum silicate material and has a thickness of not less than 50 mm.

[0017] In one embodiment, the heat exchanger water pipes are made of Φ45mm SS304 seamless steel pipes, arranged in a serpentine pattern.

[0018] In one embodiment, the housing is provided with a high-temperature flue gas inlet, a hot-side flue gas inlet, a hot-side flue gas outlet, a cold-side inlet, and a cold-side outlet, wherein the high-temperature flue gas inlet has a size of 800×800 / 300×300, and the hot-side flue gas inlet and outlet have a size of Φ1000.

[0019] In one embodiment, the two ends of the heat exchanger water pipe are fixedly connected to the cold side inlet and the cold side outlet, respectively.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] This invention integrates the mixer and heat exchanger into the same housing, achieving a unified function of "mixing and cooling" and "heat recovery." This reduces equipment manufacturing and installation costs, minimizes factory space occupation, and avoids heat loss during gas transmission. The mixer, composed of multiple SS304 stainless steel mixing plates, can fully mix high-temperature (900℃) and low-temperature (80-100℃) flue gas. The heat exchanger's water pipes use Φ45mm SS304 seamless steel pipes arranged in a serpentine pattern to enhance heat exchange efficiency. The 50mm thick aluminum silicate insulation layer inside the housing reduces heat leakage. Furthermore, the housing material, welding process, and surface treatment ensure the equipment's structural strength, stability, and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for treating waste gas with significant temperature differences discharged from RTO equipment and converting waste heat into domestic hot water, achieving both environmental protection and energy-saving effects.

[0022] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
