Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flue gas denitrification devices, specifically an energy-saving electric heater device for flue gas denitrification. Background Technology

[0002] In current industrial production, flue gas denitrification technology is widely used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. Among these, common denitrification processes such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) have strict requirements on flue gas temperature. Typically, the flue gas needs to be heated to a specific temperature range to ensure efficient denitrification within the denitrification reactor for treating industrial waste gas. Traditional electric heaters generally suffer from high energy consumption during flue gas heating. On the one hand, the flue gas passes through the electric heater at a relatively high speed, making it difficult for the heating element to fully absorb the heat energy, resulting in low heat utilization and wasted energy. On the other hand, to ensure the flue gas temperature meets requirements, there is a lack of effective thermal management methods, leading to significant heat loss. This not only significantly increases enterprise operating costs but also contradicts the development trend of energy conservation and emission reduction, failing to meet increasingly stringent environmental protection and energy-saving requirements.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses an energy-saving electric heater device for flue gas denitrification, comprising a housing 1, a ventilation duct 2, and an electric heating component.

[0028] The electric heating assembly includes a heat-conducting cylinder 3, a heating tube 33, and a heating base (not shown in the figure); wherein the heating tube 33 is an electric heating tube, the heating base is fixed to the end of the heat-conducting cylinder 3, the end of the heating tube 33 is connected to the heating base, and the heating tube 33 is located inside the heat-conducting cylinder 3. The ventilation duct 2 is a spiral duct with a rectangular cross-section, the ventilation duct 2 is arranged around the heat-conducting cylinder 3, the shell 1 is fitted over the ventilation duct 2, and the outer wall of the ventilation duct 2 is attached and fixed to the inner wall of the shell 1. The two ends of the ventilation duct 2 are the ventilation inlet and the ventilation outlet, respectively.

[0029] Specifically, the top of the heat-conducting cylinder 3 is also provided with a circular mounting plate 31, which closes the upper end of the heat-conducting cylinder 3, and the heating seat is fixed on the mounting plate 31. The heating tube 33 has a spiral structure and is attached to and fixed to the inner wall of the heat-conducting cylinder 3, so that the heating tube 33 can be in full contact with the heat-conducting cylinder 3. The heat-conducting cylinder 3 is made of aluminum or copper with good thermal conductivity, so that the heat-conducting cylinder 3 can be heated evenly under the heating action of the heating tube 33, thereby heating the ventilation duct 2, and then heating the flue gas passing through the ventilation duct 2.

[0030] The end of the heating tube 33 passes through the mounting plate 31 and is connected to the heating seat. The mounting plate 31 is also provided with a protective cover 32. The protective cover 32 is fixed on the mounting plate 31 and covers the heating seat. Understandably, the heating seat is connected to an external power source through a wire wrapped with heat-resistant material.

[0031] The rectangular spiral ventilation duct design of this device ensures that the flue gas makes full contact with the heat-conducting cylinder as it flows around it, creating a uniform heat exchange environment. This avoids localized overheating or heating blind spots, guaranteeing that the flue gas is fully heated. The spiral heating tubes are tightly attached to the inner wall of the heat-conducting cylinder, concentrating heat transfer to the flue gas, avoiding ineffective heat radiation, significantly improving thermal efficiency, and achieving energy-saving goals.

[0032] The lower end of the ventilation duct 2 is also connected to a baffle 4, which is a circular plate. The baffle 4 seals the lower end of the heat-conducting cylinder 3, so that both the upper and lower ends of the heat-conducting cylinder 3 are in a closed state, preventing flue gas from entering the heat-conducting cylinder 3 and adhering to the heating pipe 33. The part of the baffle 4 connected to the ventilation inlet is provided with multiple baffle holes 41 that connect to the ventilation duct 2. The baffle holes 41 allow flue gas to enter the ventilation duct 2 and promote the uniform distribution of flue gas.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the housing 1 includes an outer shell 11, an inner shell 12, an upper flange ring 14, and a lower flange ring 15. The outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 are coaxially stacked, and their upper and lower ends are respectively connected to the upper flange ring 14 and the lower flange ring 15, thereby forming a heat insulation cavity 13 between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12. The heat insulation cavity 13 is in a vacuum or negative pressure state. The vacuum or negative pressure state of the heat insulation cavity 13 can reduce the heat conducted outward from the ventilation duct 2 and reduce its heat loss.

[0034] The ventilation duct of this device is a rectangular spiral duct. The ventilation duct is arranged around the heat-conducting cylinder. The design of the rectangular spiral ventilation duct allows the flue gas to fully contact the heat-conducting cylinder during the flow around the heat-conducting cylinder, forming a uniform heat exchange environment, avoiding local overheating or heating blind spots, and ensuring that the flue gas can be fully heated.

[0035] The shell of this energy-saving electric heater is connected to the inner shell via an upper flange ring and a lower flange ring, respectively. This modular design simplifies the assembly process and enhances the overall structural strength. The standardized interface design of the air inlet cone and the protective cover facilitates quick connection with the smoke inlet pipe and the smoke exhaust system. The heating seat is fixed to the mounting plate at the end of the heat-conducting cylinder, and the protective cover provides effective protection for it, reducing the corrosion of the heating seat by flue gas and water vapor and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0036] In a more preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the housing 1 and the outer wall of the protective cover 32 are further provided with a heat-insulating wrapping layer (not shown in the figure). The heat-insulating wrapping layer is made of ceramic fiber felt. The heat-insulating wrapping layer can further improve the heat insulation performance and reduce the heat loss of the electric heater device.

[0037] The shell body 1 has an exhaust cone 5 and an inlet cone 61 at both ends. The lower end of the inlet cone 61 and the exhaust cone 5 are connected by a flange. The lower end of the inlet cone 61 and the upper end of the exhaust cone 5 are respectively provided with a smoke inlet and a smoke outlet, both of which are equipped with connecting flanges. The smoke inlet at the lower end of the inlet cone 61 is connected to a smoke inlet duct during operation. An axial flow fan is installed in the smoke inlet duct. The axial flow fan is used to input the flue gas to be treated from the inlet cone 61 into the ventilation duct 2. The smoke outlet at the upper end of the exhaust cone 5 is connected to the denitrification reactor. The exhaust cone 5 is used to introduce the heated flue gas to be treated into the denitrification reactor.

[0038] The shell of this energy-saving electric heater is connected to the inner shell via an upper flange ring and a lower flange ring, respectively. This modular design simplifies the assembly process and enhances the overall structural strength. The standardized interface design of the air inlet cone and the protective cover facilitates quick docking with the flue gas duct and the denitrification reactor.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a temperature sensor is also provided on the outer wall of the protective cover 32, and a heating controller is also provided inside the protective cover 32 (the temperature sensor and the heating controller are not shown in the figure). The heating controller is connected to the protective cover 32 and the heating base 3. The heating controller is used to sense the temperature of the passing flue gas in real time through the temperature sensor and adjust the heating power of the heating tube 33 according to the temperature value. It should be noted that the connection structure and working principle of the temperature sensor and the heating controller are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The working process of this energy-saving electric heater device for flue gas denitrification is as follows: An axial flow fan transports the flue gas in the inlet duct into the inlet cone 61. The flue gas in the inlet cone 61 passes through the turbulence hole 41 and enters the ventilation duct 2, then flows spirally along the ventilation duct 2. The heating tube 33 heats the ventilation duct 2 to a predetermined temperature. The flue gas is gradually heated to a high temperature as it flows spirally along the ventilation duct 2, and then enters the denitrification reactor through the exhaust cone 5. The heating controller senses the temperature of the flue gas in real time through a temperature sensor located at the top of the ventilation duct 2. If the temperature is too high, the heating controller reduces the heating power of the heating tube 33; if the flue gas temperature is too low, the heating controller increases the heating power of the heating tube 33. This ensures that the temperature entering the denitrification reactor meets the requirements of the denitrification reaction and prevents excessively high flue gas temperature from causing excessive energy consumption.

It should be understood that the use of these directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed in this application.
