The invention relates to the technical field of boiler equipment, in particular to a boiler
air heater based on an octahedral array structure. According to the technical scheme, the boiler
air heater based on the octahedral array structure comprises heat exchange pipeline units, the boiler
air heater is formed by arranging the multiple heat exchange pipeline units in parallel in the steam flowing direction, each heat exchange pipeline unit comprises a regular octahedral pipeline and a cylindrical
pipe, and multiple sets of regular octahedral pipelines are arranged on one side of each cylindrical
pipe; the heat exchange unit formed by connecting a plurality of regular
octahedron pipelines in series is adopted, each regular
octahedron is of a structure with a complex space flow channel formed by connecting a plurality of edge pipes, when steam flows through each
octahedron unit, the steam is subjected to multiple times of flow division and re-convergence processes, and therefore the
heat transfer coefficient of the steam in the pipes is effectively increased, and the heat exchange efficiency of the steam is improved. And meanwhile, the non-straight structure on the outer surface of the octahedral pipeline also enhances the flow disturbance of the air side, the
convection heat exchange efficiency outside the pipeline is improved, and the heat exchange capacity and the
heat energy utilization efficiency of the air heater are remarkably improved.
