The invention belongs to the technical field of energy efficient utilization, energy saving and environmental protection engineering, and relates to a power type heat pipe waste heat recovery method. Smoke sequentially passes through a kth heat pipe circulation heat pipe evaporator for an overheating device, ... a first heat pipe circulation heat pipe evaporator for the overheating device, an mth heat pipe circulation heat pipe evaporator for a boiling section, ... a first heat pipe circulation heat pipe evaporator for the boiling section, an nth heat pipe circulation heat pipe evaporator for an economizer, ... a first heat pipe circulation heat pipe evaporator for the economizer, wherein the n is larger than or equal to one and smaller than or equal to ten, the m is larger than or equal to one and smaller than or equal to ten, and the k is larger than or equal to one and smaller than or equal to ten; liquid-state heat pipe working media in the k+m+n heat pipe evaporators absorb waste heat of the smoke to generate the liquid-gas phase change process, the smoke temperature is lowered, and efficient recovery and utilization of the smoke waste heat is achieved; the recovery process of the power type heat pipe waste heat recovery method is easy and convenient to implement, and the power type heat pipe waste heat recovery method is reliable in principle, convenient to operate, safe in use, long in service life of the using device, high in waste heat recovery efficiency, low in maintaining cost and environmentally friendly.
