Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery technology, specifically to a converter waste heat recovery system. Background Technology

[0002] The LT process is a dry purification and recovery technology for converter gas. During steelmaking in steel mills, the heat and iron oxide dust generated from the gas, high-temperature flue gas, and flue gas are all treated using the LT process for heat recovery and dust removal. The LT process converter waste heat recovery and purification system includes a waste heat recovery system and a purification system. The waste heat recovery system is directly linked to the converter steelmaking process and participates directly in production as part of the steel mill's steelmaking process.

[0003] The converter's flue gas outlet is connected to an outlet flue, and the final section of the outlet flue is typically treated using the thermal cooling (LT) method. The current LT method involves installing spray guns in the final section of the outlet flue to cool the high-temperature flue gas. The outlet of this final section is connected to an evaporative cooler, which has spray holes to accommodate the spray guns. The high-temperature gas in the converter is approximately 1450°C. After cooling in the outlet flue, the temperature in the final section is still around 900°C. The LT method, which involves spraying water mist in the final section of the flue and within the evaporative cooler, rapidly cools the gas from approximately 900°C to approximately 200°C. However, this LT method results in the complete waste of the 900°C-200°C waste heat resource and generates sludge and wastewater that pollutes the environment. Utility Model Content

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a waste heat recovery system for the final section of a converter outlet flue includes: a waste heat recovery inlet flue 1, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the final section flue 2 of the converter outlet flue, and the other end of which is connected to a cooling flue 3.

For simplified view, Figure 2 The document does not specify the first straight heat exchange tube and the second straight heat exchange tube.

[0023] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the first heat exchange coil 541 in the first heat exchange coil assembly and the inlet end of the second heat exchange coil 641 in the second heat exchange coil assembly are connected to the waste heat drum 9 through the fourth downcomer 94. The outlet end of the first heat exchange coil 541 in the first heat exchange coil assembly and the outlet end of the heat exchange coil 641 in the second heat exchange coil assembly are connected to the waste heat drum 9 through the seventh riser 90.

[0024] The first straight-section heat exchanger upper header 531 is connected to the waste heat drum 9 via the eighth riser pipe 5311, and the second straight-section heat exchanger upper header 631 is connected to the waste heat drum 9 via the ninth riser pipe 6311. The first straight-section heat exchanger lower header 533 and the second straight-section heat exchanger lower header 633 are connected to the waste heat drum 9 via the fifth downcomer pipe 95.

[0025] The bottom of the first gas-solid coupling separator 5 is provided with a first ash hopper 502. The bottom of the first ash hopper 502 is connected to the first ash cooler 504 through the first ash hopper output pipe 503. The first ash cooler 504 is connected to the first ash bin 505. The bottom of the second gas-solid coupling separator 6 is provided with a second ash hopper 602. The bottom of the second ash hopper 602 is connected to the second ash cooler 604 through the second ash hopper output pipe 603. The second ash cooler 604 is connected to the second ash bin 605.

[0026] In traditional converters, high-temperature gas at around 1450°C enters the converter's outlet flue gas duct from the converter's flue gas outlet. In the final section of the outlet flue gas duct (flue gas duct 2), the temperature of the high-temperature flue gas drops to around 900°C. This high-temperature gas in the final section of flue gas duct 2 is typically cooled by water spraying using the LT method. Specifically, the LT method involves spraying the high-temperature flue gas into the final section of the outlet flue gas duct (flue gas duct 2) for cooling, and then further spraying it into an evaporative cooler, thus rapidly reducing the flue gas temperature from around 900°C to around 200°C. This process obviously wastes the thermal energy required to cool the gas from 900°C to 200°C, and the spray cooling process also generates a large amount of sludge and wastewater, leading to environmental pollution.

[0027] In this application, the high-temperature gas generated in the converter at approximately 1450°C enters the converter's outlet flue gas duct from the converter's flue gas outlet until it enters the final section of the outlet flue gas duct, where the temperature drops to approximately 900°C. In this application, the high-temperature gas in the final section of the outlet flue gas duct 2 is not sprayed and directly passes through the waste heat recovery inlet flue gas duct 1, sequentially through the first cooling flue gas duct 31 and the second cooling flue gas duct 32. The high-temperature gas releases heat in the first and second cooling flue gas ducts 31 and 32, thus achieving heat recovery. Then, it is split into two paths through the insulated transition flue gas tee 4: one path enters the first gas-solid coupling separator 5, and the other path enters the second gas-solid coupling separator 6.

[0028] The high-temperature coal gas undergoes preliminary dust removal in the first gas-solid coupling separator 5 and the second gas-solid coupling separator 6. The high-temperature coal gas transfers heat to the heat exchange tube cooling mechanisms of both the first and second separators. Dust within the first gas-solid coupling separator 5 is collected in the first ash hopper 502. The dust in the first ash hopper 502 is cooled through the first ash hopper outlet pipe 503 and then enters the first ash cooler 504 before entering the first ash silo 505. Similarly, dust within the second gas-solid coupling separator 6 is collected in the second ash hopper 602. The dust in the second ash hopper 602 is cooled through the second ash hopper outlet pipe 603 and then enters the second ash cooler 604 before entering the second ash silo 605.

[0029] The high-temperature coal gas in the first gas-solid coupling separator 5, after preliminary dust removal, enters the flue gas inlet of the first quench fire-tube heat exchanger 7 through the first connecting flue, and then enters the heat exchange tube bundle in the first quench fire-tube heat exchanger 7 for rapid cooling. The high-temperature coal gas in the second gas-solid coupling separator 6, after preliminary dust removal, enters the flue gas inlet of the second quench fire-tube heat exchanger 8 through the second connecting flue, and then enters the heat exchange tube bundle in the second quench fire-tube heat exchanger 8 for rapid cooling. The high-temperature coal gas is further cooled to 200°C while undergoing further dust removal in the first quench fire-tube heat exchanger 7 and the second quench fire-tube heat exchanger 8. The cooled coal gas converges from the first flue gas outlet pipe 71 of the first quench fire-tube heat exchanger 7 and the second flue gas outlet pipe 81 of the second quench fire-tube heat exchanger 8 into the flue gas outlet main pipe 10 and is then discharged for further dust removal. Dust in the first quench fire-tube heat exchanger 7 and the second quench fire-tube heat exchanger 8 is discharged into the main dust discharge pipe 20 of the heat exchanger through the first ash pipe 72 and the second ash pipe 82, respectively, and then discharged outwards.

[0030] As described above, this application provides a waste heat recovery system for the final section of the converter outlet flue, which replaces the traditional LT method and achieves a completely dry treatment. It can not only effectively recover the heat energy of the high-temperature gas at 900°C in the final flue 2, thereby avoiding heat loss and reducing steelmaking costs, but also avoid the environmental pollution caused by the large amount of sludge generated by the LT method. In addition, since no spraying treatment is performed, it can effectively increase the enthalpy value of the gas product, thereby improving the quality of the gas product.
