Mechanism of Working Fluid Circulation in the Multisource Organic Solid Waste Incinerator

Garbage incineration power generation is utilized to dispose of multi-source organic solid waste. This work constructed a mathematical model for a 750 t/d garbage incinerator to reveal the coupled response between the boiler and furnace sides. Field experiments validated the model, exploring various operating conditions including different loads, fuel blending ratios, primary air, and internal flue gas recirculation (IGR) air flow rates. Increasing the load by 9.1% raised furnace heat exchange by 4.0% but reduced economizer heat exchange by 19.0%. Introducing waste cloth strips and paper mill waste enhanced furnace water-cooled wall heat transfer but reduced economizer heat exchange. A 10.8% rise in primary air flow increased superheater heat exchange by 7.8%. Similarly, a 21.3% rise in IGR air flow increased economizer heat exchange by 9.0%. The temperature rise and enthalpy rise in the superheater were higher when the low calorific value of the fuel was higher. Increasing primary air velocity enhanced heat transfer, raising the outlet temperature of the medium-temperature superheater, necessitating an increase in secondary water spray to adjust the outlet temperature of the high-temperature superheater. This work provides guidance for the design and practical operation of multi-source solid waste incinerators.
