Description
- The invention relates to a device for preheating combustion air by flue gas in the boiler of a power plant. Furthermore, the invention relates to a power plant comprising a device for preheating combustion air to be supplied into a boiler by means of flue gas.
- For preheating combustion air for a solid fuel boiler, flue gas air preheaters (LUVOs) are typically used, in which the heating medium, i.e. flue gas, flows outside heat exchanger pipes, and the medium to be heated, i.e. air, flows inside the heat exchanger pipes. The heat exchanger pipes are placed horizontally in the flue gas duct, and the heat exchanger units on different levels are connected to each other by air ducts outside the flue gas duct. There are also configurations, in which the flue gas flows inside the pipes and the pipes are vertical.
- A typical combustion
air preheating device 1 is shown inFIG. 1 . This kind of apreheating device 1 comprises horizontalheat exchanger structures 3 placed in aflue gas duct 2 for heating primary air P, andheat exchanger structures 4 for heating secondary air S. Separateair supply areas flue gas duct 2, for supplying air to be heated into theheat exchanger structures preheater 1 from the same side. This configuration causes a strong distortion in the temperature of the flue gases F, because all the cold air is supplied into thepreheater 1 from one side, causing significantly stronger cooling of the flue gases on the air inlet side than on the opposite side. The strong cooling of the flue gases F on the air inlet side, in turn, causes a relatively low material temperature at the air inlet end of the pipe of theheat exchanger structure preheater 1, in spite of the relatively high average temperature of the flue gases. Thus, the dew point of flue gases is easily achieved at the surface of theheat exchanger structure heat exchanger structure - Now, a solution has been found which enables a more uniform temperature distribution in the terminal part of the flue gas duct.
- To achieve this aim, the combustion air preheating device according to the invention is primarily characterized in what will be presented in the
independent claim 1. The power plant according to the invention is, in turn, primarily characterized in what will be presented in theindependent claim 8. The other, dependent claims will present some preferred embodiments of the invention. - The basic idea of the invention is to form a preheating device for the combustion air of the boiler by providing the flue gas duct with first heat exchanger structures for heating primary air and second heat exchanger structures for heating secondary air. The inlet of the first heat exchanger structure and the inlet of the second heat exchanger structure are placed substantially on the same level, the level being substantially perpendicular to the central line of the flue gas duct.
- In an embodiment, the first heat exchanger structures and the second heat exchanger structures are staggered.
- In an embodiment, the first heat exchanger structures and the second heat exchanger structures extend at their air supply areas to the central area of the flue gas duct provided with air flow deflecting structures for changing the direction of air flows of the heat exchangers. The deflecting structure may be, for example, a chamber or a bent pipe.
- In an embodiment, the first heat exchanger structures and the second heat exchanger structures are formed of pipes by bending so that the straight portions of the pipes extend both parallel to the central line of the flue gas duct and perpendicular to the central line of the flue gas duct.
- A power plant according to the basic idea of the invention comprises at least a boiler and a flue gas duct, into which the flue gases exiting the boiler are led. Furthermore, the plant comprises the above-described preheating device for heating the combustion air to be supplied into the boiler. In an advantageous embodiment, the flue gas duct is vertical, and the flue gases from the boiler are introduced from the upper part of the flue gas duct and discharged from the lower part.
- In an embodiment, the first air supply area and the second air supply area are placed substantially at the same height.
- In an embodiment, the first air supply area and the second air supply area are the lowermost parts of the preheater which are placed in the flue gas duct.
- The different embodiments of the above-described configuration, taken separately and in various combinations, provide various advantages. A single embodiment may comprise one or more of the following advantages depending on its implementation:
-
- the distortion of the flue gases can be leveled out;
- the temperature difference between the flue gases and the combustion air can be made as great as possible even in the lowermost pipe rows, in both the front and rear parts of the preheating device;
- the material temperature of the pipe of the preheating device can be raised at the location of the air inlet flow;
- the duct arrangements of the plant are simpler than in conventional configurations;
- in the area of the bent pipe element, problems of vibration of the preheating device are possibly reduced, because in one embodiment, the pipes are tied together in the vertical portion;
- in one embodiment, the problems of vibration of the preheating device are reduced, because the bundle comprises a primary air pipe and a secondary air pipe adjacent to each other; vibrations possibly caused by blowers on the primary and secondary air side have different frequencies, wherein they do not amplify each other.
- One advantageous embodiment has the advantage that the cold bundles of both primary air and secondary air are placed as a single lowermost bundle. Thus, when replacing a damaged bundle is necessary, only a single bundle has to be replaced. Normally, when e.g. a corrosion problem occurs, it is usually necessary to replace both the lowermost primary and secondary air bundles according to a given schedule. It is particularly difficult to replace the lowermost bundle but one.
- In an application according to one embodiment of the invention, an air deflecting chamber in the centre of the primary and secondary air bundles increases advantageously the flow rate of the flue gases at the end part of the flow gas duct, improving the heat transfer on the flue gas side. This contributes to raising the material temperature of the pipes of the preheating device in the most critical cold part and thereby reduces the risk of erosion of the pipes by the effect of the acid dew point.
- In an advantageous embodiment, the heat transfer surface of the preheating device consists, in its entirety, of a pipe element extending from the bottom to the top. The elements are made, for example, on a bending line for superheater pipes. Of the adjacent elements, one is for primary air and the other for secondary air. The sizes of the pipes may be equal or different, depending on the reciprocal proportions of primary and secondary air. The pipe spacing may be, for example, typical 75×75 mm, or the spacing can be selected to provide a desired flue gas rate. In addition to the advantages presented above, the structure provides, among other things, the following advantages to conventional configurations:
-
- the connecting channels between bundles on the air side are totally eliminated, providing significant cost savings in the manufacture of ducts;
- the elimination of the connecting channels saves space in the boiler room;
- the installation of the preheating device becomes faster, because there is no need to install connecting air channels;
- the preheater device is divided into installation units in the width direction of the preheater device;
- the pressure loss on the air side is smaller than in a conventional preheater device, because the inflows and outflows of pipes between bundles are eliminated;
- the single resistance coefficient on the 90° curve is lower than in inflow or outflow of the pipe. This saves the internal consumption of the boiler.
