The invention discloses a multi-stage traveling wave thermoacoustic engine
system for cascaded utilization of
waste heat of high temperature
flue gas. The multi-stage traveling wave thermoacoustic engine
system adopts a loop structure formed in such a way that N stages of thermoacoustic engine units are connected end to end through resonant tubes, wherein N is equal to a positive integer
ranging from 3 to 10; the thermoacoustic engine units comprises
direct current suppressors, primary coolers, regenerators, heaters, high-temperature end layer fluidifying elements, thermal buffer tubes, room-temperature end layer fluidifying elements, secondary coolers and the resonant tubes, which are connected in sequence; when the
system works, the
waste heat of high temperature
flue gas passes through heaters of the thermoacoustic engine units in sequence, and is subjected to heat exchange with the heaters to enable the heater to generate high temperature,
temperature gradient is formed at the regenerator of the engine,
heat energy is converted into acoustic work under the
temperature gradient, the acoustic work spreads in the
positive direction of the
temperature gradient, and is amplified for many times, and the system circularly works; no mechanical movement parts exist, the structure is simple, the
waste heat of
flue gas can be efficiently used in a
cascade manner to generate acoustic work, and the
energy conservation and emission reduction are achieved.
