  • Patent number: 7926273
    Abstract: A waste heat power generation system of a cement calcination plant includes: an AQC boiler having an economizer, an evaporator and a superheater; and a PH boiler having a first evaporator and a superheater. The PH boiler, in addition to the evaporator and the superheater, has a second evaporator on a PH exhaust gas exit side, and a returned hot water from a flasher is introduced into the second evaporator via a steam drum. A hot water heated by the second evaporator is introduced into the steam drum, and a steam from the steam drum is introduced into the low-pressure stage of the steam turbine.

  • Publication number: 20100146972
    Abstract: In a cement burning plant waste heat power generation system, an AQC boiler comprises an economizer, an evaporator and a superheater, and a PH boiler comprises a first evaporator and a superheater. A part of hot water heated by the economizer of the AQC boiler is fed through a flasher to the low pressure stage of a stream turbine, another part is superheated by the evaporator and the superheater of the AQC boiler, and further one part is superheated by the evaporator and the superheater of the PH boiler and these high pressure steams are fed to the high pressure stage of the stream turbine. The PH boiler is provided with a second evaporator on the outlet side of PH waste gas in addition to the evaporator and the superheater, and return hot water of the flasher is introduced into the second evaporator through a steam drum. Hot water heated by the second evaporator is introduced into the steam drum and its steam is fed to the low pressure stage of the stream turbine.
