Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a boiler waste heat recovery apparatus of the present invention will be described.

Boiler waste heat recovery apparatus according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1 to 7, the raw water supply pipe 21 and the hot water discharge pipe 22 is provided with a boiler body for heating the raw water by using the combustion heat and discharge the heated hot water ( 20); A cylindrical case 10 disposed above the boiler body 20 to recover waste heat; A connection pipe 11 connecting the lower portion of the boiler body 20 and the case 10 so that the combustion gas discharged from the boiler body 20 flows into the case 10; A gas discharge pipe 12 installed at an upper portion of the case 10 to discharge the combustion gas that has undergone heat exchange; A cylindrical heat transfer part 14 having a heat exchange coil 13 through which water flows in a cylindrical shape in the case 10; A plurality of shielding members installed on the inner wall of the cylindrical heat transfer part 14 or the case 10 to increase the flow path of the combustion gas introduced through the connection pipe 11 to block upward movement of the combustion gas; It is made, including.

At this time, the shielding member is installed at regular intervals along the vertical direction of the cylindrical heat transfer portion 14 to block the central portion of the cylindrical heat transfer portion 14, as shown in Figure 2 and the cylindrical heat transfer portion 14 It may be composed of a plurality of shielding plate 15 disposed between the coil 13 for heat exchange. At this time, the shielding plate 15 may be any shape as long as it can prevent the central portion of the cylindrical heat transfer portion 14, but is preferably formed in a circular or square shape as shown in FIG.

Accordingly, while the combustion gas introduced from the boiler body 20 into the case 10 moves along the path shown in FIG. 3, the coil 13 for heat exchange alternately inside and outside the cylindrical heat transfer part 14. ) Will heat the water inside. Therefore, the water flowing along the heat exchange coil 13 is discharged to the outside of the case 10 after being heated by the combustion gas.

At this time, the inlet-side heat exchange coil 13a protrudes outward from the upper end of the case 10 so that the heat exchanger having a reverse flow structure is formed in the case 10, and the outlet-side heat exchanger from the lower end of the case 10. It is preferable that the coil 12b protrudes outward. Accordingly, the water introduced through the inlet side heat exchange coil 13a starts heat exchange in the upper portion of the case 10 having a relatively low temperature, and then finishes heat exchange in the lower portion of the case 10 having a relatively high temperature, and then exits the heat exchange side. It is discharged through the dragon coil 13b, and thereby the temperature of the hot water discharged is higher.

Of course, the outlet side heat exchange coil 13b protrudes outward from the upper end of the case 10 so that the heat exchange part of the flow type structure is formed inside the case 10, and the inlet side heat exchanger is provided from the lower end of the case 10. The dragon coil 13a may protrude outward. Even in this case, although the temperature of the water is high, there is a disadvantage in that the heat exchanger of the flow type structure cannot obtain hot water having a temperature higher than the combustion gas temperature at the top of the case 10.

In addition, the hot water discharged through the outlet side heat exchange coil 13b is introduced into the raw water supply pipe 21 of the boiler body 20 through a connection pipe or the like to a hot water storage unit (not shown) through a separate path. Can be stored. That is, the hot water discharged through the outlet side heat exchange coil 13b may be supplied to the raw water supply pipe 21 of the boiler body 20 to further increase the temperature of the hot water discharged through the hot water discharge pipe 22. It can also be stored and used in a separate hot water reservoir.

In addition, it is preferable that a drain pipe 10 ′ through which condensed water formed by condensing water vapor contained in the combustion gas is disposed below the case 10. This is to prevent the temperature of the case 10 from being lowered due to the condensed water and the case 10 being corroded and damaged.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, the shielding member is installed at regular intervals along the vertical direction on the left and right sides of the inner surface of the case 10 and alternately disposed on the left and right sides to form a zigzag flow path cylindrical cylindrical heat transfer unit ( 14 may be formed of a plurality of semicircular shield plates 16 inserted between the coils 13 for heat exchange.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the semicircular shielding plate 16 extends beyond the middle portion of the case 10 and is formed to partially overlap when viewed from the top.

Accordingly, the combustion gas introduced from the boiler main body 20 into the case 10 moves along the zigzag path shown in FIG. 6, and constitutes a heat exchange coil 13 constituting the cylindrical heat transfer part 14. Will heat the water. Therefore, after the water inside the heat exchange coil 13 is heated by the combustion gas, the water is discharged to the outside of the case 10.

The boiler waste heat recovery apparatus of the present invention configured as described above generates hot water through heat exchange between combustion gas discharged from the boiler body and raw water, and circulates the hot water to the boiler body or stores it in a hot water storage unit so that hot water can be used. Done.

When the boiler body 20 is operated, raw water supplied through the raw water supply pipe 21 is heated in the boiler body 20 and then discharged through the hot water discharge pipe 22 to be used for heating or to use hot water. In addition, the combustion gas generated in the boiler body 20 is supplied to the case 10 through the connection pipe 11, and after the heat exchange in the case 10 is discharged to the gas discharge pipe 12.

At this time, when water is supplied through the inlet-side heat exchange coil 13a, the water is heated by heat exchange with the combustion gas in the cylindrical heat transfer unit 14 made of the heat exchange coil 13, and the heated raw water is exchanged through the outlet side heat exchanger. It discharges through the dragon coil 13b. In this process, as the plurality of shielding plates 15 or semi-circular shielding members 16 are installed on the inner wall of the cylindrical heat transfer part 14 or the case 10, the moving path of the combustion gas becomes long, and thus the combustion gas is stored in the case. The residence time in (10) is increased and heat exchange efficiency is improved.

In addition, condensed water formed by condensation of water vapor contained in the combustion gas in the case 10 due to heat exchange is discharged through the drain pipe 10 'so that the inside of the case 10 is always kept dry. In addition, the case 10 is prevented from being corroded and damaged by condensate.

Hot water heated by heat exchange in the above process is introduced into the raw water supply pipe 21 of the boiler body 20 through a connection pipe. Accordingly, the time required for heating the raw water in the boiler body 20 is shortened and the amount of heating heat is reduced. This enables fast heating and shortens the time required for producing hot water.

 However, when the operation of the boiler body 20 is stopped and inflow of raw water into the boiler body 20 is not necessary, the heated hot water is stored in the hot water storage unit through a separate path, thereby operating the boiler body 20. You can use hot water without having to.
