Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air preheater maintenance technology, specifically a fixed device for air preheater maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] An air preheater is a device used to improve the efficiency of a boiler or heat exchange system. It recovers heat from exhaust gases to preheat the air entering the boiler or system, thereby improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The main function of an air preheater is to utilize the heat from the exhaust gases discharged from the boiler to exchange heat within the preheater. External air flows through the heat exchange surfaces (such as tube bundles) of the air preheater, absorbing heat from the exhaust gases, thus increasing its temperature. The heated air is then sent into the boiler to mix thoroughly with the fuel, ensuring more complete combustion and improving thermal efficiency.

[0003] For example, a fixing device for air preheater maintenance, authorized by announcement number CN217097420U, includes support legs, sliding grooves, and fastening bolts. Rotating shafts are provided on both sides of the support plate, and rotating rods are provided on the outer surfaces of the rotating shafts. Sliding grooves are formed on the rotating rods, and fastening bolts are installed inside the sliding grooves. This fixing device for air preheater maintenance includes a first fixing bracket with a limit plate fixedly connected to a second fixing bracket. The second fixing bracket, via a first threaded rod, forms a left-right moving structure within the limit sliding groove. A drive motor is provided on the outer surface of the second fixing bracket, and a turntable is provided inside the second fixing bracket. A support plate is provided between the bottom of the turntable, and a lifting groove is formed on the inner surface of the turntable. A clamping plate, via a second threaded rod, forms a vertical lifting structure within the lifting groove, facilitating the fixing of the air preheater requiring maintenance and allowing for angle adjustment of the air preheater.
