Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system comprising a device for the utilisation of a residual heat of flue gases having a temperature, which exceeds their dew point and containing aggressive constituents, in particular of flue gases discharged from solid fuel firing boilers.
  • the present invention also relates to a system for increasing a thermal efficiency of a boiler as well as that of a steam cycle during a generation of an electrical energy of a steam.
  • the contemporary method of steam generation consists in that stem having high parameter values is extracted by a steam turbine and condenses inside the same under low pressure of about 0,008 MPa and under a temperature, which usually ranges between 30 and 45°C, thus turning to water having approximately the same temperature.
  • the condensed water has to be reheated to reach the temperature of the so called feedwater, usually at least about 105°C.
  • reheating of water from about 30 - 45°C up to 105°C is accomplished by means of the intermediate steam extraction.
  • the so called regeneration of feedwater occurs.
  • the steam used for reheating the feedwater is lost and cannot contribute to the output power of the turbine any more.
  • the temperature of the flue gases discharged from such boilers typically range between 120 and 170°C.
  • the residual heat contained of such flue gases is not utilized for any purpose. The utilization of that residual heat would require the installation of a heat exchanger using a low-potential cooling medium, i.e. a so called flue gas condenser.
  • the main reason why such flue gas condensers are not used consists in that the fuel, particularly coal, contains sulphur and may also contain HCl as well as water.
  • One of the combustion products is sulphur dioxide which would react with water.
  • US 4,489,679 discloses a control system for economic operation of a steam generator, where there is a closed system using a heat of flue gases to warm up a feedwater of the boiler. There is a temperature sensor in a flue gas stream and a system of valves that either enables the flue gases to escape or to enter a venturi to warm up a feedwater of the boiler. This patent does not solve a steam condensate that could have been used as cooling
  • US 4,660,511 discloses a method and apparatus for recovery of heat from the flue gas of a combustion furnace of a steam boiler or power generation plant which combined with a heat pump system.
  • the flue gas is passed through an economizer to preheat the boiler feed water.
  • the flue gas then passes to a direct contact gas cooler where a second stream of cooling water extracts heat from the flue gas.
  • US 4,340,572 discloses a process for recovering heat from stack or flue gas.
  • the gas stream is countercurrently contacted with a liquid medium in two stages in order to obtain a warmed liquid medium and a cooled gas stream.
  • the warmed liquid medium is passed in indirect heat exchange with eg. a process fluid.
  • This patent discloses how to use a heat from stack or flue gas, but a use of the heat of steam condensate used as a cooling water is not mentioned there.
  • WO 2010/149173 A2 discloses a method and system for cleaning of and heat recovery from hot gases. An exhaust gas is cooled in a gas cooler which produces a condensate that is further cooled in a condensate cooler which produces energy. This patent does not disclose exploitation of a condensate originating from a steam cycle during a generation of an electrical energy of a steam.

  • flue gases have a temperature, which exceeds their dew point, and contain aggressive constituents.
  • flue gases are particularly those discharged from solid fuel fired boilers, in particular by coal boilers and also biomass boilers.
  • the flue gases discharged from a heat source e.g. from a solid fuel fired boiler, are blown along the process water causing the thermal energy of the flue gases to be transferred to the process water in order to heat the latter at most up to the boiling temperature of the same under given ambient atmospheric and pressure conditions.
  • the pH value of the process water is adjusted to enable the neutralization of the corrosive action of the condensing flue gas constituents and is maintained at a level higher than 5, preferably at a level higher than 7.5.

  • the thermal energy of the flue gases which would otherwise escape into the outside environment, is transferred to the process water which flows in a opposite direction with respect to that of the flue gases, neutralizes the flue gases and is further heated up by the same.
  • the neutralized process water becomes a heat transport medium that prevents the corrosion of the heat-exchanging surfaces, particularly those of the second heat exchanger, from developing.
  • the process water flows along the outer surface of the built-in structure of the heat exchanger which means that a direct heat transfer from flue gas to process water takes place and heat does not permeate through the material of the built-in structure of the heat exchanger. Therefore, the direct-contact heat exchanger can be made of materials which are not typical for heat exchangers, i.e.
  • plastic materials having poor thermal conductivity in particular plastic materials, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, PVDF etc., the above listing being not exhaustive. Such materials are cheap and exist in an unlimited number of types. Besides that, such plastic materials may be used for the fabrication of a louver-type or tubular built-in structure that enlarges the overall contact surface areas of the heat exchanger, thus increasing the efficiency of the flue-gases to process water thermal energy conversion. Since the process water flows through the built-in structure of the heat exchanger over a prolonged time, it has increased time for absorbing the heat and neutralizes the flue gases more efficiently.
  • plastic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, PVDF etc.
  • treated processed water with a higher pH value it would be possible to use ordinary metallic materials for the built-in structure of the heat exchanger, particularly for a louver-type one.
  • the process water would flow along such metal surfaces and continuously neutralize the acids produced during the condensation of flue gases, thus protecting those surfaces from corrosion.
  • the flue gases cause the built-in metal structure of the heat exchanger to be heated up from below, thus allowing the thermal energy to be directly transferred to the process water flowing along the built-in metal structure of the heat exchanger. In this way, the process water can absorb additional heat to that gained through the blowing action of the flue gases.

  8. Das System nach Anspruch 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Absetzbehälter (3) zur Absetzung der aus dem Direktkontakt-Wärmetauscher (1) ausgespülten festen Partikeln mit einer Wegräumvorrichtung (16) versehen ist, die zum Entfernen von abgesetzten Ablagerungen aus dem Absetzbehälter (3) vorgesehen ist.
  9. Das System nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Vorrichtung (5) zur Zugabe von Alkalisierungsmitteln dem Prozesswasser, um den pH-Wert des Prozesswassers auf einer Ebene zu halten, die es möglich macht, korrosive Einwirkungen der sich während der Kondensation der Abgase bildenden Säuren zu neutralisieren, zum Halten des pH-Wertes des Prozesswassers auf einer Ebene angepasst ist, die höher ist als 5,0, insbesondere als 6,5, vorzugsweise als 6,9 und am meisten bevorzugt als 7,5.
  10. Das System nach Anspruch 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es ferner eine erste Prozesswasserpumpe (4) umfasst, die zwischen dem Absetzbehälter (3) zur Absetzung der aus dem Direktkontakt-Wärmetauscher (1) ausgespülten festen Partikeln und dem zweiten Wärmetäuscher (6) zur Wärmeübertragung von dem Prozesswasser auf Kühlwasser angeordnet ist.
  11. Das System nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es ferner eine Vorrichtung (29) zur Ergänzung des Vorrats vom Prozesswasser und/oder zum Ablassen des letzteren umfasst, wobei die besagte Vorrichtung zwischen dem Prozesswasserauslass (9) des zweiten Wärmetauschers (6) und dem Prozesswassereinlass (7) des Direktkontakt-Wärmetauschers (1) angeordnet ist.
  12. Das System nach Anspruch 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Kühlwasserauslass (22) des dritten Wärmetauschers (18) und/oder der Kühlwasserauslass (20) des zweiten Wärmetauschers (6) mit dem Speisewassereinlass des Dampfkessels und/oder einer anderen Wärmequelle und/oder eines anderen Heizkreises verbunden sind.
  13. Das System nach Anspruch 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Kühlwasserauslass (22) des dritten Wärmetauschers (18) und/oder der Kühlwasserauslass (20) des zweiten Wärmetauschers (6) mit einem Wärmekreislauf verbunden sind, insbesondere mit einem Wärmekreislauf, der einen Kessel umfasst.
