At present, the air preheater used by a low-temperature waste heat recovery system in the petrochemical industry is generally made of metal materials, but when flue gas is corrosive, the air preheater made of traditional metal material heat transfer elements obviously cannot meet the use requirements. The mullite ceramic belongs to an inorganic nonmetallic material, and the chemical component of the mullite ceramic is acidic oxide SiO2Mainly resists the corrosion of all inorganic acids except hydrofluoric acid and high-temperature phosphoric acid. The mullite ceramic belongs to a structural ceramic material, has good chemical stability, high hardness, high temperature resistance and wear resistance, and is suitable for being used as a heat transfer element of an air preheater.
However, after the mullite ceramic heat exchange element blank is sintered, a large number of defects of open pores, closed pores and straight through pores exist, and particularly, the defects of the straight through pores cause the problems of medium mixing, leakage and the like of the heat exchanger, so that the application of the heat exchanger is seriously influenced. The conventional method for repairing defects is to improve the performance of the ceramic surface by glazing the ceramic surface and reduce through pores of the ceramic. The method has the disadvantages that (1) the thermal conductivity of the ceramic glaze is low, and the heat transfer capacity of the ceramic element is reduced due to glazing; (2) when the surface of the ceramic heat transfer element is glazed, the pressure in the through air hole of the ceramic is increased, and the glaze cannot completely fill the through air hole of the ceramic, so that the defect of the air hole in the sintered ceramic still exists; (3) the presence of a large number of pores also reduces the mechanical strength of the ceramic heat transfer element.
In view of this, the present application is specifically made.

The method for filling pores in a ceramic heat transfer element, the ceramic heat transfer element, and the impregnation apparatus according to the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for filling pores of a ceramic heat transfer element, which adopts a vacuum infiltration method to enable an infiltration agent to infiltrate into straight pores of the ceramic heat transfer element and to repair the pores very well.
The method for filling the pores and the cracks of the mullite ceramic heat transfer element does not need surface glazing and secondary high-temperature sintering, can achieve the purpose of filling the pores and the cracks of the ceramic, can improve the heat conductivity and the overall mechanical strength of the ceramic heat transfer element, is an effective method for filling and repairing the pores and the cracks of the ceramic heat transfer element, and has good application prospect. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
s1, pretreatment
Before the ceramic heat transfer element is treated under vacuum conditions, it is washed and dried to remove impurities and moisture from the surface and pores. Preferably, the drying is performed for 3-5h at 100-120 ℃ to sufficiently remove the moisture in the pores.
This step is a preferable step, and if a ceramic heat transfer element having a clean and dry surface is to be treated, this step may not be performed.
S2, standing in vacuum
The ceramic heat transfer element is kept still for 1-2h under the condition that the vacuum degree is 50-80KPa, and the ceramic heat transfer element is kept still in vacuum before being subjected to vacuum infiltration, so that air in air holes and cracks on the ceramic heat transfer element can be exhausted.
This step is a preferable step, and the effect of pore repair can be further improved by standing in a vacuum state before vacuum infiltration.
S3, vacuum infiltration
The ceramic heat transfer element is immersed in an infiltrant under vacuum conditions for vacuum infiltration, wherein the infiltrant includes a binder and a thermally conductive filler. The inventors have found that the use of a binder and a thermally conductive filler as an infiltrant, in combination with vacuum infiltration, enables the infiltrant to fill very well into the pores inside the ceramic. More importantly, the repairing mode not only can not influence the heat conductivity coefficient of the ceramic, but also can obviously improve the heat conductivity coefficient to a certain extent, and simultaneously can also obviously improve the compressive strength.
It is necessary to supplement that the infiltration agent can be well infiltrated into the pores by vacuum infiltration, which may be due to the capillary action of the straight through pores and cracks of the ceramic heat exchange element, so that the infiltration mixture can infiltrate into the ceramic capillary to completely fill the defects of the straight through pores, cracks, and the like.
Further, the binder is selected from at least one of water glass, organic silicon, phenolic resin and furan resin; preferably, the mass ratio of the binder to the thermally conductive filler is 100: 40-250, preferably 100-150. The inventor finds that the selection of the binder has a remarkable influence on the final treatment effect, the binder adopted in the embodiment of the invention has a better repairing effect on air holes, the heat conductivity coefficient and the compressive strength of the ceramic can be improved to a greater extent, and if other binders except the embodiment of the invention are adopted, the repairing effect cannot be ensured.
Further, the heat-conducting filler is at least one selected from graphite micropowder, silicon carbide micropowder and mullite micropowder, preferably graphite micropowder or silicon carbide micropowder, and the particle size of the heat-conducting filler is 2-10 μm. The graphite micro powder or the silicon carbide micro powder as the heat conducting filler can further improve the heat conductivity coefficient of the ceramic, and the repairing effect is better.
Further, controlling the vacuum degree to be 50-80KPa and the temperature to be 80-120 ℃ in the vacuum infiltration process; preferably, the vacuum degree is controlled to be 60-70KPa in the vacuum infiltration process, the temperature is controlled to be 90-110 ℃, the vacuum infiltration time is 0.5-1h, and the liquid level of the infiltration agent is kept to exceed the height of the ceramic heat transfer element by more than 100mm in the immersion process. The inventors were able to fill the internal pores of the ceramic better by further optimizing the degree of vacuum, temperature and time of infiltration.
S4, compressed air pressure impregnation
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, after vacuum infiltration and before temperature rise and solidification, the pressure of the environment where the ceramic heat transfer element is located is restored to normal pressure, then compressed gas is introduced, and the ceramic heat transfer element is immersed for 0.5 to 1 hour under the condition of the existence of the compressed gas. The infiltration agent can further infiltrate into the internal straight through holes of the ceramic by introducing compressed gas, so that the filling effect of the holes is improved.
Preferably, the pressure of the compressed gas is 0.5 to 0.8MPa, and the pressure of the compressed gas is controlled within the above range, so that the infiltrant can be better infiltrated into the inner pores of the ceramic.
S5, heating and curing
And heating and curing the ceramic heat transfer element filled with the impregnant in the air holes to cure and form the adhesive, wherein the curing temperature is 120-260 ℃, and the curing time is 3-6 h. The curing temperature and time can be set according to the choice of the binder, and are preferably controlled within the above range to ensure better curing and molding of the binder and the filler.
S6, post-processing
After being solidified, the surface of the ceramic heat transfer element is cleaned to ensure that the surface is smooth and free of impurities.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a ceramic heat transfer element, which is obtained by filling pores in the sintered ceramic heat transfer element by adopting the filling method; the ceramic heat transfer element may be a ceramic tube or a ceramic honeycomb heat exchange module. The ceramic heat transfer element has no internal pore defects and surface crack defects, and has high thermal conductivity and compressive strength.
