Exergy analysis of the multi-stage slag waste heat recovery system

摘要

Based on the black-box model, this paper analyzed the multi-stage slag waste heat recovery system. The exergy efficiency, the exergy loss coefficient and the exergy loss rate were adopted as evaluation indexes to investigate the energy consumption and the weakness of the system. Meanwhile, the performance of waste heat recovery was analyzed by comparing the comprehensive exergy efficiency between the system and other conventional waste heat recovery methods. The results showed that the comprehensive exergy efficiency of the system reached 75.75%, which was much higher than other methods, and the weakness of the system was the subsystem of waste heat boiler. In general, the system recovered the slag waste heat effectively and converted coal to clean syngas through gasification reaction, which had incredible potential in energy saving, emission reduction and consumption reduction.
