DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(9) Next, a waste heat boiler, a hammering device and a heating tube mounting structure provided by the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In which, the hammering device and the heating tube mounting structure are components of the waste heat boiler; the examples of the hammering device and the heating tube mounting structure will be included in the examples of the waste heat boiler, and are not described separately. The waste heat boiler of the present invention can be used to recover the exhaust gas for the industries such as cement production, carbon black production, glass fiber production, metallurgy steel production, petroleum production, acid and alkali production, etc.

EMBODIMENT 1

(10) The present invention provides a waste heat boiler, a hammering device thereof, and a heating tube mounting structure. The main invention principle of the present invention is to combine the fin structure of the finned heating tube with the hammering device to deal with the high temperature waste heat and the highly adhesive dusts in the industrial exhaust gas, thereby effectively recovering various grades of exhaust gases in which the temperature is 300 C. to 500 C., the dust concentration is 10 g/Nm3 to 100 g/Nm3, and the dusts have high adhesiveness in a dry state. In addition, the waste heat boiler also has the characteristics of high heat transfer performance, low cost, and effective cleaning of adhered dusts.

(11) As illustrated in FIG. 1, the waste heat boiler in the embodiment is a vertical structure, comprising a boiler 1, and an exhaust gas inlet 2 and an exhaust gas outlet 3 are provided at an upper portion and a lower portion of the boiler 1, respectively.

(12) As an important technical feature of the present invention, a plurality of heating tubes 4 with fins 23 are provided in the boiler 1. The heating tubes 4 are arranged into a horizontal and grid tube arrangement, thus dusts that might by accumulated between the fins 23 can be blown off during the uniform flow of the exhaust gas from top to bottom as indicated by the arrow, thereby obviously increasing the amount of heat transferred from the exhaust gas to the heating tube 4, and improving the efficiency for the whole boiler to recover the waste heat of the exhaust gas. By using the heating tube 4 with the fins 23, the heat exchange area can be efficiently expanded, and the heat exchange performance can be increased, without increasing the cost. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4, the fin 23 is provided as being perpendicular to an outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4 and radially protruded outwards along the outer peripheral surface. On the periphery of one heating tube 4, a plurality of fins 23 are provided at an interval along a length direction, i.e., an axial direction. In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the fin 23 is provided on the whole outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4, i.e., the fin 23 is a closed annular piece. Since the fin 23 perpendicularly winds on the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4, the main heat exchange surface of the fin 23 is in the same direction as the dust gravity. Thus it is difficult for the dusts to be accumulated between the fins 23, and the flow direction of the exhaust gas is the same as the setting direction of the fin 23, which leads to a small energy consumption. The closed annular fin 23 can maximize the heat exchange area, and the heat exchange area can be adjusted by varying the number, interval, height and thickness of the fins 23 provided in the length direction of the heating tube 4. In an optional example, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the closed annular fin 23 may be replaced by two or more discontinuous sector pieces. Although the heat exchange area for these fins 23 is reduced, the gap 24 between the sector pieces allows the exhaust gas to flow through, thereby increasing the amount of heat transferred from the exhaust gas to the heating tube 4 at certain extent.

(13) Another important technical feature of the present invention is the heating tube mounting structure related to the hammering device. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 5, in one example of the present invention, two or more support assemblies are arranged in an axial direction of the heating tube 4 at an interval. One heating tube 4 passes through corresponding two or more support hole portions of the two or more support assemblies. Of course, one support assembly may be provided at a central portion of the heating tube 4 in the axial direction, and two ends of the heating tube 4 are supported movably by other supports. In a preferred example, the support assembly for supporting the heating tube 4 includes a plurality of support rings 5 corresponding to each of heating tubes 4 and support beams 8 for fixing these support rings 5. The hole of the support ring 5 constitutes the support hole portion. In a case where the heating tubes 4 are in a grid tube arrangement, the support rings 5 are also in a grid tube arrangement. Two or more support assemblies are provided in the length direction of the heating tube 4 at an interval, and one heating tube 4 passes through corresponding support ring 5 of each support assembly. Thus, the heating tube 4 is connected to the support ring 5 of the support assembly in an unfixed way, and a gap 24 between the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4 and the inner peripheral surface of the support ring 5 allows the heating tube 4 and the support ring 5 to move relative to each other. Through the heating tube mounting structure in the embodiment, the heat conduction tube 4 is movably and freely mounted. Under the hammering effect of the hammering device, the heating tube 4 and the support ring 5 can move relative to each other, and a sufficient vibration can be achieved. In addition, the hammering impact force will not bring any burden to the support assembly, and the durability of equipment is improved.

(14) In another preferred example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the support assembly comprises two or more support plates 51 provided in the length direction of the heating tube 4 at an interval; each support plate 51 is provided with a via-hole 52 corresponding to a respective heating tube 4; one heating tube 4 passes through corresponding open holes 52 of the plurality of support plates 51; the open holes 52 constitute the support hole portions; and the support plate 51 is consistent with the flow direction with the exhaust gas, thus the energy consumption is small.

(15) The above two examples provide the structures for movably mounting the heating tubes 4 with the support rings 5 and the open holes 52. It is conceivable that in an optional example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the heating tubes 4 can be movably supported by metal rod assemblies 54 having meshes 53, and the meshes 53 constitute the support hole portions, provided that the size of the mesh 53 is larger than that of the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4. Of course, the support assembly capable of movably supporting the heating tube 4 is not limited to the structures in the above examples, and any structure that realizes a movable mounting of the heating tube 4 can be used. In extreme cases, the heating tubes may be suspended in the boiler using metal chains. Herein the details are no longer described.

(16) The inventor carries out a test in which exhaust gas from a PH tower of a cement kiln flows in a test apparatus assumed as a PH boiler. The heating tubes 4 with fins 23 have an outer diameter of 38 mm, a horizontal grid tube arrangement, an interval of 90 mm in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the exhaust gas, an interval of 90 mm in a flow direction of the exhaust gas, a fin 23 height of 21 mm, a fin 23 thickness of 1.2 mm, and are internally cooled with warm water. Here no dedusting device is provided, so as to determine the dynamic condition of dust accumulation. The pressure loss and dust accumulation situation of the heating tubes 4 are tested by varying the interval of the fins 23, so as to determine the heat transfer performance. The test result shows that the dust accumulation situation (assessed with a ratio of a pressure loss in a stable state to a pressure loss in an initial stage) in the same degree as that of the existing PH boiler (the heating tubes are in a perpendicular staggered tube arrangement, wherein the outer diameter of the bare tube is 38 mm, the interval in the perpendicular direction of the exhaust gas is 90 mm, and the interval in the flow direction of the exhaust gas is 78 mm) can be obtained by setting the interval of the fins 23 to be more than 15 mm, such as 15 mm to 18 mm. It is also determined that the dust accumulation amount is saturate by optimizing the arrangement of the heating tubes 4 and the interval of the fins 23, and a stable running under the exhaust gas of a high dust concentration is achieved through a cooperation with the dedusting device.

(17) In one example, the waste heat boiler of the present invention may be not provided with a hammering device, and the dedusting may be made through manual hammering or an additional external hammering device. In a preferred example, the waste heat boiler of the present invention is provided with a hammering device. The structure of the hammering device may be any hammering device in the prior art. Based on the heating tube mounting structure in the present invention and relative to the heating tube mounting structure in the prior art, an improved hammering effect can be achieved using any existing hammering device. In a preferred example of the present invention, the heating tubes 4 are hammered in bundles using a hammering device specially designed in the present invention.

(18) Firstly, the heating tubes 4 are divided into bundles, and the specific manner of dividing into bundles is as follows. In a case where the heating tubes 4 are in a horizontal grid tube arrangement, a plurality of heating tubes 4 adjacent to each other in a same vertical plane constitute a heat transfer assembly 9. In that case, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the waste heat boiler includes a plurality of heat transfer assemblies 9 parallel to each other in the vertical direction. In addition, a plurality of heating tubes 4 adjacent to each other in a same horizontal plane may also be selected to constitute a heat transfer assembly 9. Of course, in a case where the heating tubes 4 are in a staggered tube arrangement, a plurality of heating tubes adjacent to each other in a certain inclined plane may constitute a heat transfer assembly and the waste heat boiler comprises a plurality of heat transfer assemblies parallel with each other in the inclined direction.

(19) The hammering device of the present invention for hammering the heating tubes in bundles is described as follows.

(20) The hammering device of the waste heat boiler of the present invention comprises a hammering rod 6 connected to the heat transfer assembly 9, and a hammering assembly 7 capable of rapping the hammering rod 6. Each heat transfer assembly 9 is provided with a hammering rod 6. The hammering assembly 7 comprises a horizontally arranged hammering shaft 10, a hammer 11 fixed to the hammer shaft 10, and a driving motor 12 connected to the hammer shaft 10 and capable of controlling the hammer shaft 10 for a reciprocation rotation at a preset speed. Each hammer 11 is arranged at an upper portion or a lateral side of the hammering rod 6. In such a structure, each hammer 11 is corresponding to one hammer rod 6, and a plurality of hammers 11 act consistently along with the rotation of the hammering shaft 10 to achieve effective rapping and dedusting for each heat transfer assembly 9, thereby ensuring the processing of the high-concentration dusts, and preventing the dusts from being accumulated in the heating tubes 4 and the fins 23.

(21) It is conceivable that in one example, the hammer 11 may not hammer the hammering rod 6, while being corresponding to the support assembly, i.e., hammering the support assembly such as the support plate 51, and a good hammering effect can also be achieved. For the waste heat boiler which has a limited design space, hammering the support plate also provides a choice for designing the hammering device.

(22) In one example, it is not limited to the manner of dividing the heating tubes 4 into bundles based on the heat transfer assembly 9, and the hammering rod 6 can be connected to any number of heating tubes 4 adjacent or not adjacent to each other, just by varying the specific shape of the hammering rod 6. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, four adjacent heating tubes 4 at the upper right are connected to a rectangular hammering rod 6 for hammering in bundles, which is omitted herein.

(23) As compared with the existing structure in which the hammering device of the PH boiler raps the whole tube bundles, a better hammering effect can be obtained by rapping each tube bundle, i.e., the heat transfer assembly 9 as described in the present invention. The hammering impact force caused by rapping in bundles will not bring any burden to the heating tubes 4 and the mounting accessories, and the durability is better.

(24) The inventor carries out the durability test and the vibration measurement using a hammering device in the same size as the real object. A test of rapping the hammering rod 6 connected to the heating tube 4 from the top and a test of transversely rapping the hammering rod 6 from the lateral side are performed using the interval of the fins 23 and the arrangement of the heating tubes 4 used in the test where exhaust gas from the PH tower of the cement kiln flows in a test apparatus assumed as the PH boiler. The hammering rod 6 is rapped using three types of hammers (large, middle and small) of different hammering forces. As can be determined from the vibration measurement, an impact force damaging the device is caused when the large hammer is used, and a vibration of the heating tubes larger than that in the existing PH boiler will be generated whatever the size of the hammer. In the durability test, it is determined that the durability is more than one million times of continuous rapping. In addition, it is determined that by selecting an optimum hammer in the structure, a better dedusting effect can be achieved, and a stable operation can be performed.

(25) In order to deal with dusts of a low concentration and small particle sizes, for example to recover exhaust gas of a ferrosilicon manufacturing electric furnace with a dust concentration of 10 g/Nm3. In a preferred example of the present invention, a soot blowing device may be provided for dedusting in substitution of the hammering device when necessary. The soot blowing device may be any soot blowing device in the prior art.

(26) In a preferred example of the present invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 5, the soot blowing device 13 comprises an air station 14, a connecting pipe 15, element pipe 16, a lance tube 18 and a control device 20. The element pipe 16 is horizontally arranged and located above the heating tube 4. The axis of the element pipe 16 forms a right angle with the axis of the heating tube 4. The element pipe 16 is connected to the horizontally arranged lance tube 18. One end of the lance tube 18 is connected to a control device 20 capable of driving the lance tube 18 to protrude forward or retract backward. The plane under each element pipe 16 is provided with gas injection holes 17 at an interval. The angle of the element pipe 16 is adjustable.

(27) A control component 20 comprises a motor 21 and a mating gear 22 connected to the motor 21. One end of the lance tube 18 passes through a boiler wall 19, and extends out of the boiler wall 19. The structure of that one end is a screw structure. The mating gear 22 is meshed with the screw structure, and the rotation direction of the mating gear 22 is different with the rotation direction of the motor 21, thereby controlling the protrusion and retraction of the lance tube 18. The structure is simple, the performance is stable and reliable when the lance tube 18 is operated to drive the element pipe 16 and the fault will not easily occur. When the soot blowing device 13 needs to work, the lance tube 18 is controlled to protrude forward or retract backward through the control component 20, driving the element pipe 16 to move forward and backward. The gas injection holes 17 on the element pipe 16 jets high pressure gas from above downward for cleaning the dusts accumulated on the heating tube 4 and the fin 23.

(28) In the present invention, a movable soot blowing device 13 is provided above the heating tube 4, so as to blow dusts downward from the space between the heating tubes 4. The soot blowing device 13 of the present invention not only has a simple structure, but also effectively processes the adhesiveness dusts on the heating tube 4 with the fins 23 to avoid them being blocked, thereby ensuring that the heating tube has a high heat transfer performance, and improving the heat recovery efficiency of the boiler.

(29) In the present invention, owing to the effective works of the hammering device and the soot blowing device, the fins 23 may be provided on the heating tube 4, which effectively expands the heat transfer area, improves the heat transfer performance, and efficiently reduces the cost of the heating tube and the whole boiler, without increasing the volume or number of the heating tube.

(30) In order to recover the high or ultra-high temperature exhaust gas, in a preferred example, the number of the heat transfer assemblies 9, i.e., the number of the heating tubes may be further increased, so as to expand the heat transfer area of the heating tubes in the boiler, and improve the entire heat recovery efficiency of the waste heat boiler.

(31) Of course, in an optional example, the heating tube mounting structure of the present invention can be used. Meanwhile, the hammering effect can also be improved by rapping the whole bundles of all the heating tubes of the waste heat boiler using the existing hammering device.

(32) The waste heat boiler of the present invention overcomes the technical prejudice that the fin structure of the heating tube is not combined with the hammering device to deal with the dusts in the prior art. By designing the fin structure and combining the hammering device with the soot blowing device, a waste heat boiler with a high heat transfer performance, a low cost and a stable operation is obtained, which can recover the high or ultra-high temperature dusts of various concentrations and high adhesiveness. The horizontally arranged heating tubes with the fins are used and parallel to each other (grid tube arrangement). As to the dusts of high concentration and large particle sizes, the ends of a certain number of heating tubes are fixedly connected through the hammering rod of the hammering device, and then the uppermost portion or the lateral side of the hammering rod is rapped, so that dedusting by rapping for a plurality of heating tubes is achieved by arranging a hammering assembly. As to the dusts of low concentration and small particle sizes, such as those in exhaust gas of a ferrosilicon manufacturing electric furnace, a movable soot blowing device 13 is provided above the heating tube, so as to blow dusts downward from the space between the heating tubes. The waste heat boiler of the present invention not only has a simple structure, but also effectively processes the adhesiveness dusts on the heating tube with the fins to avoid them being blocked, thereby ensuring that the heating tube has a high heat transfer performance, and improving the heat recovery efficiency of the boiler.

EMBODIMENT 2

(33) As illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, the principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1; the heating tube mounting structure, the hammering device and the soot blowing device have the same structures as those in Embodiment 1, and the bundling manner of heating tubes is also the same as that in Embodiment 1, which are omitted herein. The differences lie in that the waste heat boiler is horizontal, the heating tubes 4 are in a vertical grid tube arrangement, and the lower end portion of the heating tube 4 can be placed on a certain support 50.

(34) As illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, in this embodiment, the left and right portions of the boiler 1 are provided with an exhaust gas inlet 2 and an exhaust gas outlet 3, respectively. The heating tube 4 orderly passes through a plurality of open holes 52 (not illustrated) of the support plate 51 serving as the support hole portions arranged in the up and down direction. The fins 23 on the heating tube 4 are perpendicular to the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4 and protruded in the axial direction of the heating tube. In a preferred example, the fins 23 are provided as being substantially consistent with the flow direction of the exhaust gas indicated by the arrow. That is, the fins 23 are provided at opposite two sides upstream and downstream the exhaust gas flow of the heating tube 4 and no fin 23 is provided at the two sides of the heating tube 4 perpendiculars to the exhaust gas flow, so as to avoid energy loss. In a preferred example, the fins 23 are discontinuous in the axial direction, i.e., a plurality of segments of fins 23 are provided in the length direction of the heating tube, such that the exhaust gas passes through the gap 24 between the fins 23, thereby increasing the amount of heat transfer between the exhaust gas and the heating tube. In addition, the gap 24 between the fins 23 can be used as a place for cooperation with the support assembly. Of course, continuous fins 23 in the axial direction can also be used.

(35) In this embodiment, although the heating tubes 4 are vertically arranged, the surface of the heating tube 4 and the surface of the fin 23 are still in the same direction with the dust gravity, and the dusts will not be easily adhered. The hammering device can rap the upper end of the heating tube 4 or the support assembly.

(36) Based on this embodiment, the same effect as that of Embodiment 1 can be achieved and it is omitted herein.

EMBODIMENT 3

(37) Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, the waste heat boiler of this embodiment uses the same heating tube mounting structure, rapping device and soot blowing device as those in Embodiments 1 and 2. The differences lie in that the finned tubes in Embodiments 1 and 2 are replaced with the bare tubes. Although the heat exchange performance is degraded at some extent, this embodiment still can achieve excellent hammering effect. Thus, the existing PH waste heat boiler can be improved to recover the exhaust gas with a high temperature of 300 C. to 500 C., a dust concentration of 10 g/Nm3 to 100 g/Nm3, and high adhesiveness.

EMBODIMENT 4

(38) Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, the waste heat boiler of this embodiment uses the same heating tube mounting structure as that in Embodiments 1 and 2. The difference lies in that the heating tubes with fins in Embodiments 1 and 2 are replaced with the spiral fin heating tubes in the prior art, i.e., the AQC waste heat boiler with the spiral fin heating tubes is improved with the heating tube mounting structure of the present invention. Based on the heating tube mounting structure of the present invention, an excellent hammering effect can be achieved. In combination with the hammering device and the soot blowing device, the exhaust gas with a high temperature of 300 C. to 500 C., a dust concentration of 10 g/Nm3 to 100 g/Nm3, and high adhesiveness can also be effectively recovered.

(39) As to the existing AQC waste heat boiler, since it usually does not include the hammering device, in one example, only the heating tube mounting structure of the AQC waste heat boiler is replaced with the mounting structure of the present invention, and a hammering device is additionally provided.

Other Modification

(40) The fins 23 perpendicularly provided on the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4 and protruded along the outer peripheral surface, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4 in Embodiment 1, can also be applied to the vertically arranged heating tubes. The fins 23 perpendicularly provided on the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4 and protruded along the axial direction of the heating tube 4, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 to 10 can also be applied to the horizontally arranged heating tubes. The spiral fins can be applied to the vertically or horizontally arranged heating tubes.

(41) The above descriptions are just specific embodiments of the present invention, and the implementation range of the present invention cannot be defined thereto. Any equivalent change or modification made based on the Summary of the present invention (e.g., any other person uses the fin structure of the heating tube of the present invention, the movable heating tube mounting structure of the present invention, or the hammering device rapping in bundles of the present invention, or combines the finned heating tube with the hammering device) shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
