Abstract

According to the area where the air preheater is blocked, from the perspective of the physical properties of NH₄HSO₄, analyzed the reason of NH₄HSO₄ blockage in air preheater heat storage element caused by SCR flue gas denitration in boiler. The deposition of NH₄HSO₄ and low temperature corrosion occur in specific areas of the air preheater, the area is restricted by the gas temperature and the metal wall temperature. When the height of the heat storage piece in the cold section of the air preheater is insufficient, the bonding area of NH₄HSO₄ will span the upper part of the low temperature section and the lower part of the middle temperature section (the two-stage arrangement is the high temperature section), there is the situation that the mid-temperature section cannot be blown through, and the NH₄HSO₄ deposition area expands upward at low load. Through the characteristic temperature of NH₄HSO₄, combined with the flue gas temperature and wall-temperature of heat transfer element of rotary air preheater at different heights, a partitioning judgment method for the deposition process of NH₄HSO₄ in the air preheater was proposed. To solve the clogging problem of air preheater, firstly, the deposition area of NH₄HSO₄ should be concentrated into the cold end heat storage element by raising the height of the heat storage plate in the cold section, so that the soot blower can be blown through and centralized washing is convenient; secondly, the cold wave type with closed channel is selected to improve the soot blowing and washing effect.
