3. Introduction to regenerative combustion system(natural gas )equiment:
The company’s products have the following technologies to achieve good energy-saving goals and stability.
A Air fuel ratio; Mixing and matching the ratio in the gun before spraying out for combustion will not cause excessive combustion and will not be pumped back into the heat storage passage, resulting in secondary combustion and short service life of the heat storage barrel and ball. (Most of the traditional and existing equipment on the market are not fully combusted, and the waste heat recovery hot gas cannot be fully recycled. Especially, many equipment is mixed and combusted in the furnace, which is also one of the unsafe factors.)
B Waste heat recovery; The normal temperature in the furnace is 1150 ° C. After our technical recovery, the exhaust gas temperature is below 180 ° C. The remaining thermal energy temperature is recycled to the heat storage tank for preheating the air pumped in for combustion support. (Our technical key is to fully recycle the residual heat.) (The traditional exhaust gas temperature is above 250 ° C. The outer wall temperature of the heat storage tank is too high to be touched by hand.)
C Furnace pressure control; In the process of waste heat recovery, due to full combustion and reasonable proportion, all fans are equipped with frequency conversion. When the furnace pressure is too high, increase the induced air, and pump the excess furnace pressure back to the heat storage tank for preheating, so there is no fire spraying or black smoke, and there is no need to leave a pressure relief opening at the furnace door.
D Three way valve technology; The open and close cylinder made of high-temperature resistant steel does not cross wind, and the maintenance rate is extremely low (traditional four-way valve, rotating mode, cross wind leads to energy consumption, and the maintenance rate is very high, and high altitude maintenance is very troublesome)
E Safety performance: Safety is no trivial matter, and our safety factor configuration is the most important. We have more valves than others, and we also have one more set. (There are two sets of shut-off valves and one set of natural gas filtration valves installed) Moreover, it has an automatic safety detection function. When starting up, it automatically detects within three seconds. If there is any abnormality, the gas will be immediately cut off and the alarm will sound immediately, At the same time, the PLC microcomputer shows the problem (other equipment core technologies cannot bedemonstratedonebyone).
3.1 Electrical control:
The control cabinet is made of high-precision cold rolled steel plate, with excellent mechanical and technological performance.
The fan control adopts frequency conversion control, which can adjust speed freely, saving energy and environmental protection.
The flame detection element adopts a high-precision ultraviolet detection device.
All electrical control cabinets are equipped with cooling fans to ensure the safe and stable operation of the entire system.
The ignition of the burner adopts the ignition electrode plus natural gas method for ignition, which is safe and reliable to operate on the touch screen.
The three-way valve alternately reverses direction (the reversing time can be set) to achieve efficient utilization of residual heat.
Comprehensive alarm functions, including temperature alarm, fan alarm, gas alarm, reversing valve alarm, and other system alarms, with accurate display
Provides alarm information for customer reference.
3.2 Use feature:
A. Reasonable pipeline network layout and more user-friendly control and operation system, coupled with reasonable adjustment by professional and technical personnel, ensure the optimal energy-saving effect of stable combustion system.
B. The reasonable configuration of the air supply system and the induced air system can ensure that the flue gas is sucked out by the fan circulation system, thereby reducing the workshop pollution caused by escaping from the furnace door.
C. The microcomputer intelligent control system can ensure that the combustion system can operate and work in the best environmental and economic mode under cold, hot, and high temperature conditions.
D. The microcomputer intelligent program control operating system ensures that the operation of staff is easy, simple, and safe.
E. The ignition system equipped with the combustion system greatly incease opration safety.
F. Humanized structural design and reasonable structural layout significantly extend the service life of the combustion system.
G. The altermating use of combustion system advios continuous high temperature of the hot sopt,significantly reducing the burning loss.
H. Preheated combustion supporting air significantly improves the optimal air air mix ratio of the combustion system, enabling the furnace to rapidly warm up, thereby shortening the unit consumption time of smelting and improving the working efficiency of the combustion system.
I. The reasonable configuration of the air supply system, the induced air system, and the combustion system can significantly improve the heat recovery rate in high-temperature flue gas, thereby minimizing fuel consumption.
