Description
20766~1 DISTILLATION GASIFICATION COMBUSTION EQUIPMENT AND
DRY DISTILLATION GAS GENERATOR THEREFOR
This invention relates to a dry ~ till~tion gas generator adapted for heating a 5 solid fuel, e.g., a high molecular weight material such as rubber or plastic, etc., or tire, etc. to convert the solid fuel to a combustible gas by heat decomposition, and to a dry (listill~tion gasification combustion equipment in which a combustion burner unit for burning a generated dry distillation gas is combined with the dry riistill~tion gas generator. Our copending application number 2,149,858 relates to a combustion burner 10 unit suitable for use in the dry (li~till~tion gasification combustion equipment.
A solid fuel combustion equipment with an upward combustion system disclosed in Japanese Laid Open Patent Application No. 231307/1984 has a combustion unit provided on a tlictill~tion unit for converting a solid fuel to a ~ till~tion gas. A heat exchange unit is provided at the upper part thereof to generate a clistill~tion gas at the 15 lower part thereof and to burn this gas as it rises through the heat exchange unit. An air supply means delivers a small quantity of air at the bottom portion of the distillation unit.
It is seen from the figure that an upward air-supply opening is bored at the bottom portion thereof.
While it can be said that the above-described equipment is, in principle, a sort2 o of dry listill~tion gasification combustion equipment, it is only a structure in which the dry (listill~tion unit and the combustion unit are continuous in upper and lower directions It is not a structure in which both units are clearly partitioned.
Referring to the dry distillation unit of this equipment, insufficient consideration is given to generation efficiency of the dry ~i~till~tion gas and to making the dry 2 5 distillation gasification process as clean as possible. Therefore, environmental problems such as the generation of soot and smoke or dust, or odor remain unsolved.
The few air supply holes bored in the bottom of this unit tend to become choked or clogged up with ashes from the combustion taking place therein. Consequently,unstable performance of the apparatus reduces the production efficiency of the dry 3 o tlistill~tion gas; or stoppage of production of the distillation occurs.
To continue operation, an operator must clean out the small air supply holes by inserting a driver, or the like, into individual holes to scrape away ashes thel~rlolll. This is tedious work, and its necessity substantially reduces the effectiveness of the equipment.
As stated above, the conventional equipment is unsatisfactory in its efficiency in the production of dry distillation gas, the generation of clean dry distillation gas, and in its performance stability. In addition, the difficulty in cleaning and maintenance are substantial drawbacks.
Further the combustion unit of this prior-art unit burns dry distillation gas only within a broad combustion chamber wherein dry (listill~tion gas is mixed with air together with soot and smoke or dust, etc. Accordingly, it is impossible to adjust 0 combustion to attain complete, clean, combustion.
A gasification fuel combustion equipment for burning gasified fuel obtained by means such as dry ~ till~tion, etc. is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No.
29365/1990. In this equipment, as in the equipment of the invention of this application, the combustion equipment of the burner system is adapted for completely burning a fuel once gasified by dry distillation or other means.
However, since this prior art equipment uses a rectification cylinder within a cylindrical combustion chamber, thus to agitate and mix air blown off from small holes with combustion gas, this equipment is satisfactory when use begins, but such holes become clogged after a little use. Furthermore, the internal structure is complicated, and 2 o its cleaning and/or maintenance are very difficult.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a dry distillation gasification combustion equipment and a dry (listill~tion gas generator which overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a system which offersefficient generation of dry combustion gas from a high-molecular weight fuel, and in which combustion is controllable to provide a clean effluent.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a combination of a dry ~ till~tion gas generator and a combustion gas burner which has high performance, is easy to handle, and has high utility.
3 o Studies on the technical problems to be solved by the present invention are as follows. First, the technical problem of the combustion burner unit will be described.
Since the combustion burner unit is exposed to high temperature at all times, it can become damaged, and permit burning materials to be ejected, or to become attached - -thereto. For this reason, frequent maintenance of this type of equipment is expected.
Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention employ a combustion burner unit having a burner with a simple internal structure having few, if any, uneven portions, so that cleaning is simplified.
To resist the high temperatures of combustion, the cylindrical burner body of the combustion burner unit of embodiments of the present invention is made of materials having excellent heat resisting properties. In order to realize complete combustion, the combustion burner unit provides excellent agitation and mixture of fuel with air to improve the combustion speed and/or efficiency.
1 o The technical problem of the dry distillation gas generator will now be described.
In order to burn and heat a solid fuel, e.g., high molecular weight material such as rubber or plastic, or tires, etc., within a dry distillation gas genelator, in order to produce a dry ~ till~ion gasified fuel by thermal decomposition, the oxygen supply for combustion must be controlled to a value low enough to allow a limited weak combustion state to last for a long time, but high enough to burn a sufficient portion of the solid fuel to thermally decompose the remainder. This requires the amount of combustion heat to be sufficient to allow only a portion of solid fuel to burn weakly over a long time, while the combustion heat decomposes the remainder of the solid fuel to a gaseous fuel.
However, it is a difficult technical problem to m~int~in and control the dry 2 o ~ till~tion conditions through control of the combustion heating system to generate a stable supply of clean combustible gas from a solid fuel such as tires. In the prior art, satisfactory combustible gas was not achievable.
In actual terms, it is first pointed out that controlling the air supply to m~int~in distillation conditions in which combustion and heating are well-balanced is technically 2 5 difficult.
Secondly, it is difficult to deliver air in a gentle even manner to reduce expulsion of soot and dust such as carbon, etc. and thereby produce clean combustible gas in a stable marmer.
Thirdly, many solid fuels such as, for example, tires, contain impurities which,3 o when burned and heated, produce byproduct h~l~uliLies such as tar, carbon, wire, spike tire pins or sand. These byproduct impurities can melt together to produce solid waste, be reduced to ashes, or otherwise result in unburned residual material. Such residual material can clog air blowoff openings. Such clogging destabilizes the supply of air, thus - making it difficult to maintAin stable combustion in which the conditions for dry distillation are satisfied.
Fourthly, it is difficult to find an easy way to elimin~tç residual hll~uliLies within a dry ~ tillation gas generator to simplify cleaning thereof, thus to prevent lowering of 5 the distillation gas generation long-term efficiency.
This invention contemplates solving the technical problems as described above.
The technical problem of the invention concerning the dry distillation gasification combustion equipment will be now described.
In recent dry distillation gasification combustion equipment, the key problems are 10 how to stably produce clean combustible gas from a solid fuel in the dry distillation gas generator and how to burn the combustible gas in the combustion gas burner unit.However, there is the problem that, while a double combustion system may be employed merely to burn a solid fuel primarily within a dry distillation gas generator to generate dry distillation gas and secondarily to burn it at the combustion unit, thereby to burn it 15 with an efficiency as high as possible, such a system cannot cope with the recent ~nvilol~lllental problem such as soot and smoke or dust, or odor, etc.
The inventor of this application contemplates a dry ~ tillation gas generator for generating dry distillation gas and a combustion gas burner unit for completely burning gasified fuel which are completely partitioned or divided, thus to improve respective 2 o functions thereof as far as possible. Especially, the inventor has drawn attention to the fact that, in order to burn a solid fuel completely enough to prevent the production of soot, smoke or odor, etc., the dry distillation gas must be as clean as possible, with a predetçrmin~cl quantity of the dry di~tillation gas produced in a stable state at all times.
With the above in view, the inventor has advantageously adopted a scheme to improve 2 5 first the portions of the dry distillation gas generator and the air supply means, and to provide an hll~uli~y separation tank in the middle of a gas conduit interconnecting the dry fli~tillation gas generator and the combustion gas burner unit to improve cleanliness of dr,v distillation gas delivered into the combustion gas burner unit.

In embodiments of any of the foregoing aspects of the present invention, the burner body may be formed of a refractory material such as ceramic.
The dry ~ till~tion gasification combustion equipment may have a gas conduit conn~cte(l to a dry ~ till~tion gas outlet of the dry (lictill~tion gas generator to provide 10 an hll~uliLy separation tank in the gas conduit connected to the gas burner unit.
In embodiments of the present invention, when a solid fuel such as a tire, etc. is ~lmittctl from the fuel entry portion into the tank furnace and air is ~tlmitte~l from the air chamber at the bottom portion thereof, a predetermined quantity of air is supplied into the dry distillation gas generator through the air blowoff section commnnicating with 15 the air chamber. Since the air blowoff section is comprised of the air vent recessed portion bored at a suitable portion of the bottom surface of the tank furnace, the air duct communicates between the air chamber provided at the central portion of the air vent recessed portion and the interior of the tank furnace. The air dispersion cap fitted into the air duct, and the blowoff hole formed at the circumferential side of the air dispersion 20 cap, cause air blown from the air duct to be supplied into the tank furnace in a decelerated and dispersed fashion substantially uniformly and laterally from the blowoff hole such that the supplied air spreads softly and evenly over the entire bottom surface.
When the accommodated solid fuel, such as a tire, etc., is ignited, only the portion of the solid fuel in the vicinity of the bottom portion of the tank furnace where 2 5 air spreads is burned.
At that time, the upper surface of the air dispersion cap serves as a portion of the bottom surface of the tank furnace such that there is no projecting portion. Thus, accornmodation of the solid fuel is easy.
Where the blowoff hole is formed on the circumferential side of the air dispersion 3 o cap, and the air vent recessed portion is formed therearound, there is no possibility of the air blowoff opening being inadvertently clogged by the solid fuel. In addition, since air forcefully spreads in a lateral direction through the air vent recessed section, and air which has lost its force is dispersed and supplied softly in an upward direction, there results a state in which air spreads softly and evenly at all times.
As a result, the combustion area of the solid fuel is limited to the portion in the vicinity of the bottom where air is stably supplied, but does not spread over other portions. Such stabilized partial combustion in the vicinity of the bottom portion heats the solid fuel thereabout so that thermal decomposition is produced. Thus, dry (li~t~ tion gas is efficiently and stably generated. Since, at all times, the air is softly diffused and supplied, there is no possibility that carbon will be picked up to float in the air within the tank furnace, thus permitting the dry distillation gas produced to be a clean gas having less hlly-lliLies.
Gas distillation gasification combustion equipment employing the dry ~ till~tiongas generator as stated above and making use of the impurity separation tank provided in the gas conduit to introduce the gas into the combustion gas burner unit efficiently and stably provides a cleaner dry (li~till~tion gas having less illll)ufilies.
The clean, dry 11istill~tion gas introduced from the gas conduit of the burner body is agit~tecl and mixed, while rotating, with the air blown off and delivered from the opening of the first air supply section within the cylindrical burner body heated in advance by the preheat burner section, and is introduced in a direction of the combustion chamber at the front end thereof. The dry (ii~till~tion air thus introduced is ignited by a pilot of the preheating burner unit, and is guided in a direction of the combustion chamber at the front end portion. The dry distillation gas thus introduced is ignited by a pilot of the preheat burner section, so it is burned while blowing out flame from the combustion chamber. In this instance, in the vicinity of the combustion chamber, the air preheated by the air storage layer is further delivered from the second air supply portion, 2 5 and is agit~t~l and mixed with combustion gas, thus further assisting combustion.
By employing such a configuration, a clean dry distillation gas is completely burned at the combustion gas burner unit.
In embodiments of the fourth aspect of the invention having a cooling layer provided at the entire outer circumference of the tank furnace, whose bottom portion is 3 o of a triple layer structure with the bottom surface made up of a heat resisting material, cooling layer and air chamber, and a cleaning port provided at the side portion of the air chamber, the configuration thus featured provides the following effect:
-- First, the presence of the cooling layer on the entire outer ch~;ulllfe~ ce of the tank furnace suppresses temperature elevation within the tank furnace to prevent extra or lmn~ces~ry combustion except for portions in the vicinity of the bottom portion of the solid fuel, thus reducing soot and smoke or dust and floating particulates as much as 5 possible.
Since the bottom portion is a triple layer structure, the high temperature portion on the surface of the bottom has sufficient durability. Further the cooling layer prevents the temperature of the bottom portion of the tank furnace from rising higher than is required. The large air chamber permits an even supply of air over the entire bottom 10 portion. The supplied air is pre-heated.
In addition, the cleaning port at the side of the air chamber permits easy cleaning of acc~lm~ te~l residual i~ ulilies that may have dropped through the air duct.
By using the dry tli~till~tion gas generator as stated above, the dry distillation gasification combustion equipment of this fourth aspect of the invention efficiently and 5 stably generates dry distillation gas including less impurities to allow it to serve as a cleaner dry distillation gas. This cleanliness is further improved by the hll~ulily separation tank in the middle of the gas conduit. The dry distillation gas generated by the dry distillation gas generator of the embodiments of the fourth aspect of the invention has a cleanness higher than that of the embodiments of the first aspect of the invention.
The dry distillation gas is sufficiently clean to be completely burned in the combustion gas burner unit. Since the effect within the combustion gas burner unit is the same as that within the combustion gas burner unit described in respect of the first aspect of the invention, its explanation is omitted here.
Since the effect of the dry distillation gas generator of the third aspect of the 2 5 invention is the same as that of the dry distillation gas generator of the first aspect of the invention, and the effect of the dry distillation gas generator of the fourth aspect of the invention is the same as that of the first aspect of the invention, their explanation is omitted here.
In addition, the effect within the combustion gas burner unit of the fifth aspect of the invention is also the same as that of the first aspect of the invention, its explanation is omitted here.
Briefly stated, one aspect of the present invention provides a dry distillation gas generator which generates a dry distillation gas for burning in a separate combustion gas burner unit. Air is supplied in a gentle decelerated flow to the bottom of the dry cli~till~tion gas generator in a quantity sufficient to support combustion of a solid fuel in the vicinity of the air supply, but at a low enough volume to prevent the combustion procee-lin~ to other parts of the gas generator, thus thermally decomposing the remainder of the solid fuel to generate the dry distillate gas. An air chamber surrounds the gas generator to reduce the temperature to which the solid fuel is exposed. Similarly, an air chamber is disposed below the bottom of the gas generator to supply air to the gas generator, and to moderate the temperature therein. An i~ ulily separation tank in a conduit between the gas generator and the gas burner unit helps prevent particulates from 0 entering the gas generator. A preheat burner in the combustion gas burner unit includes a pilot to ignite and preheat the gas. A first air injection device injects air from outside the gas burner in a spiral flow to agitate and mix the gas with air. A second air injection device injects air preheated in an air storage layer surrounding the gas burner unit into the gas burner in a spiral flow to further agitate and mix the gas with air. The injection point of the second air injection device is downstream of the injection point of the first air injection device.

A safety valve 8 at the top of the tank furnace 7 permits the discharge of excessive pressure from tank furnace 7 in the event of a malfunction. A further safety valve 8a, shown in dashed lines in Figure 2, may be provided according to need.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, fuel throw-in portion 6 includes a tank door 6c that can be opened and closed to reveal a large fuel entrance/exit 6a at the front side of 2 5 the tank furnace 7. Screw-type sealing devices 6b, or clamps, hold tank door 6c sealed over entrance/exit 6a to prevent the loss of fuel gas thel~lluough. The large size of fuel entrance/exit 6a eases feeding of a stack of solid fuel into the tank furnace 7, and removing residual material after combustion. The large size of fuel entrance/exit 6a also simplifies cleaning of the interior of tank furnace 7.
3 o Although the embodiment shown employs a single dry ~ till~tion gas outlet 5 in the rear of tank furnace 7, one skilled in the art will recognize that additional dry tli.~till~tion gas outlets (not shown) may be added about the cil.;ulll~elellce of tank furnace 7 without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. If a plurality of dry -- distillation gas outlets are included, a single one may be chosen as required by piping requirements, or, alternatively, two or more dry ~ till~tion gas outlets may be employed siml-lt~n~ously to convey the dry distillation gas from tank furnace 7.
A cooling layer 9 encircles the entire circumference of the tank furnace 7.
5 Cooling water is circulated in cooling layer 9 to control the temperature of the outside wall of tank furnace 7.
Cooling layer 9 extends behind the packing of tank door 6c covering fuel entrance/exit 6a. The portion of cooling layer 9 in this region avoids accelerated heat aging of the packing sealing tank door 6c, thereby enabling long-term use of theo equipment.
The bottom portion of the tank furnace 7 is a triple layer structure. The upper part of the triple layer structure is a bottom surface 10 of a heat resisting material such as a refractory material. Cooling layer 9 extends under bottom surface 10. An air chamber 11 is located below cooling layer 9. Removable clearing ports lla at the sides 15 of air chamber 11 permit purging of debris therefrom.
The inner circumferential surfaces of the lower portions of the bottom surface 10 and the tank furnace 7 are exposed to combustion heat. Consequently, at least these portions of the interior of tank furnace 7 are lined with a refractory (ceramic) material for its heat-resisting properties.
The cooling layer 9 forms a water jacket system in which cooling water is contained at the outside of the bottom surface 10, and is adapted to cool the bottom surface 10 subject to high temperature, thus to realize protection thereof and an increased durable life. The air chamber 11 formed outside the cooling layer 9 is in the form of an air chamber formed on the entire surface of the bottom portion, and is of a structure 2 5 such that blowoff of air is caused to be uniform, and that a n~cess~ry quantity of air can be supplied at any time.
At the bottom portion of the tank furnace 7, a plurality of air blowoff portions12 are distributed substantially uniformly over the area of bottom surface 10.
Referring now to FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, each of the air blowoff portions 12 3 o includes an air vent recessed portion 13 recessed in bottom surface 10. An air duct 14 commllnicates air between air chamber 11 and the center of the air vent recessed portion 13 to permit the flow of air thele~ ough into the interior of tank furnace 7. An air dispersion cap 15 is fitted at the top of each air duct 14.
Referring specifically to Figure 5, air duct 14 includes a fiKing member 19 including an air dispersion cap receiving portion 17 at the upper end opening portion of a tubular body 16. An embedded projecting portion 18 projects ~ulw~ld from air duct 14. Embedded projecting portion 18 is embedded in bottom surface 10. A cylindrical body 20 (Figure 8) extends downwal-l from tubular body 16, through cooling layer 9, and to air chamber 11.
Referring again to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, air dispersion cap 15 is a heat resisting special casting in the form of an inverse triangular cone, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. An upper surface 21 of air dispersion cap 15 is flat. A lower surface of air dispersion cap 0 15 is a tapered surface 22. A plurality of radial projections 23 extend down tapered surface 22. Centering projections 24 at a lower end of air dispersion cap 15 contact the inner surface of air duct 14 to m~int~in air dispersion cap 15 centered with respect to air duct 14. The radial projections 23 and the air dispersion cap receiving portion 17 m~int~in a blowoff channel or hole 25 between the air dispersion cap receiving portion 17 and the tapered surface 22.
Upper surface 21 of air dispersion cap 15, fitted into the opening in the tank furnace 7, forms a portion of the bottom surface 10 of tank furnace 7. Air entering from air duct 14 is decelerated and dispersed to enter tank furnace 7 substantially uniformly through ouLw~rdly tapering blowoff holes 25 between the side of air dispersion cap 15 and air dispersion cap receiving portion 17. The air thus supplied spreads softly and evenly over the entire bottom surface 10 along the air vent recessed portion 13 around the air dispersion cap 15.
As described above, in accordance with this invention, air blowoff portions 12 are made up of the air duct 14 and the air dispersion cap 15. Air duct 14 is fixed in the bottom of tank furnace 7 and air dispersion cap 15 is removably fixed in air duct 14.
This makes it possible to cope with expansion and distortion due to heat over a long period of use. Further, air dispersion cap 15 can be removed to simplify cleaning, exchange, and/or maintenance thereof.
It is to be noted that, although not shown, tank furnace 7 includes a temperature 3 o sensor for monitoring the temperature of the dry distillation gas produced, a sensor for automatically controlling the quantity of gas produced after the temperature reaches a predetermined temperature (150 degree(s) to 200 degree(s) C.), and an electromagnetic valve for allowing air to be completely sealed off when the power supply is interrupted `-- either intentionally or due to primary power hl~ell.lplion. Such sensing and control enables complete control of the process of dry distillation of solid fuel.
Referring now to FIGS. 9 and 10, combustion gas burner unit 2 includes a cylindrical burner body 26, of a refractory material such as, for example, a ceramic.
5 A gas conduit portion 27 at the upstream end of burner body 26 admits dry distillate gas from tank furnace 7. A combustion chamber 28 is provided at the downstream end of burner body 26. A preheat burner unit 29 for igni~in~ a pilot flame is positioned in the bottom of burner body 26, near its upstream end. An air storage layer 30 encircles the outer cil.;unlr~ ce of an intermediate portion of burner body 26.
1 o It is to be noted that, although combustion chamber 28 is shown as a removable structure, one skilled in the art will recognize that it may be integrally formed with burner body 26 without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
A first air supply section 31 opens through the wall of burner body 26 at a forward angle and a skew angle with respect to the longit~ldin:~l axis of burner body 26 1 5 to apply a forward velocity component and a rotating velocity component to the injected air to cause the injected air to rotate in a forward-moving spiral within burner body 26.
A pair of second air supply sections 32 and 32 pass from air supply layer 30 to enter burner body 26 at a position downstream of the entry of air supply section 31, and at a shallower forward angle to produce a higher component of air velocity along the axis of 2 o burner body 26. Second air supply sections 32 and 32 are also skewed with respect to the longi~l-lin~l axis of burner body 26 to impart spiral rotation to the injected air. The resulting along-axis and spiral motion of the injected air is illustrated by spiral lines in Figure 9.
The spiral rotation imparted to the air by the skewed positioning of first air supply section 31 and second air supply sections 32 and 32, tend to mix the fuel gas passing through burner body 26 with the injected air.
Air storage layer 30 is preheated by heat conduction from the combustion within burner body 26. As a consequence, the air from second air supply sections 32 and 32 is injected at an elevated temperature to improve combustion at the relatively downstream 3 o location of injection.
According to the foregoing, the present invention provides a dry distillation gasification combustion equipment in which a dry ~listill;~tion gas generator, a combustion gas burner unit, and an impurity separation tank are connected together by a gas conduit.
An air blowoff section includes an air vent recessed portion bored in the bottom surface of a tank furnace. An air duct feeds air through an air chamber in the center of the air vent recessed portion into the interior of the tank furnace. An air dispersion cap located in the air duct where it opens into the tank furnace forms a portion of the bottom surface 5 of the tank furnace. A blowoff opening is formed about the circumference of the air dispersion cap so that air from the air duct enters the tank furnace substantially uniformly in a decelerated and dispersed state in a radial direction. The supplied air thus spreads softly and evenly over the entire bottom surface of the tank furnace. Accordingly, when a solid fuel such as tires is loaded through fuel door into the tank furnace, air is supplied o to the tank furnace uniformly, and in a decelerated and dispersed fashion. The slow unirolm air flow prevents emission of embers and dust from the tank furnace. Air flow control is suitable to limit the amount of air to that required to generate dry ~1istill~te fuel gas from the solid fuel by burning only a portion of the solid fuel.
The dry (listill~tion gas generator of the present invention permits stable supply 15 of a predetermined quantity of air controlled so as to m~int~in the distillation condition with balanced combustion and heating. For this reason, the combustion area is limited to a portion of the solid fuel near the bottom portion where air is stably supplied. Such stabilized partial combustion in the vicinity of the bottom portion heats the remainder of the solid fuel in the tank furnace to produce thermal decomposition. Thus, dry 2 o distillation gas is efficiently and stably generated.
Since air supplied is softly diffused and supplied at all times, whirling or floating up of carbon within the tank furnace is avoided, thus making it possible to generate clean combustible gas in a stabilized manner.
The upper surface of the air dispersion cap forms a portion of the bottom surface 2 5 of the tank furnace. A blowoff opening about the circumference of the air dispersion cap supplies air from the air duct into the tank furnace radially in a uniform, decelerated and dispersed marmer.
The present invention provides the following advantages. When a solid fuel such as tires is burned and heated, il--~uflLies such as tar, carbon, wire, spike tire pin, or 3 o sand, etc. are heated together, so that they are melted, are reduced to ashes, or result in residual material. Such residual material cannot easily clog the air blowoff opening in the bottom of the tank furnace. For this reason, the air supply remains stable in use, ~076651 thus making it possible to stably m~int~in for a long time the heat/combustion state in which the conditions for dry distillation are satisfied.
Since the air blowoff opening is large, it is easy to clean and remove residual impurities from the dry distillation gas generator by removing the air dispersion cap.
This extends the time during which the dry distillation gas generation can operate.
The combustion gas burner unit burns the clean dry (ii~till~tion gas fed from the tank furnace through a gas conduit. The dry distillation gas is ignited by a pilot burner in a preheat burner section and is then rotated and mixed with air injected through a skewed first air supply section of the burner body to enable further combustion. The first l o air supply section injects air with a forward component of velocity along the axis of the combustion gas burner. An air supply is preheated in an air storage layer before being injected through a second air supply section into the combustion gas burner unit at a location downstream of the injection by the first air supply section. The second air supply section is skewed to rotate the injected air for agitation and mixing, and is directed in the downstream direction to increase the travel velocity of the burning gas.
The second air supply section is less skewed, but its forward angle is greater than the first air supply section. The combination of plentiful air supply and vigorous agitation with preheating in the combustion burner unit provides efficient and complete combustion of the clean dry distillation gas.
2 o The dry distillation gasification combustion equipment of the present invention efficiently and stably generates a dry ~ till~tion gas including less impurities. An hll~uliLy separation tank in the gas conduit carrying the gas to the combustion gas burner unit traps hlll~ulilies (dust, embers, ashes, etc.) to deliver clean dry distillation gas to the combustion gas burner unit. This permits the generation of thermal energy without the emission of soot, smoke or dust into the environment. The dry distillation gasification combustion equipment of the invention is combined with a combustion gas burner unit, and an impurity separation tank connected together by a gas conduit.
A cooling layer about the entire outer circumference of the tank furnace lowers the temperature therein to prevent extra or unnecessary combustion except at the portion 3 o in the vicinity of the bottom of the solid fuel to reduce the production of soot, smoke or dust to a mh~illlulll, thus permi~ting production of a clear dry distillation gas.
Using a three-layer structure in the bottom of the tank furnace improves the durability of the high temperature portion on the surface of the bottom portion. A cooling ~076651 layer, through which combustion air passes on its way to the interior of the tank furnace, keeps the temperature of the bottom surface of the tank furnace at a relatively low temperature without permitting the temperature to rise higher than is required. The air passing through the cooling layer is pre-heated to improve the efficiency of the tank 5 furnace.
The sides of the air chamber include cleaning ports to enable the cleaning out of residual ill~ulilies that may have dropped through the air duct in the bottom of the tank furnace.
The i~ Uli~y separation tank in the middle of the gas conduit cleans the dry o distillation gas to permit complete combustion in the combustion gas burner unit without the emission of soot, dust or smoke.
Clean dry ~ till~tion gas from the gas conduit section of the burner body is ignited by a pilot in a preheat burner section, and is then rotated, agitated and mixed with air from openings of the first and second air supply sections within the cylindrical 15 burner body.
Having described pl~efelled embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to those precise embodiments, and that various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention as 2 o defined in the appended claims.
DRY DISTILLATION GAS GENERATOR THEREFOR
This invention relates to a dry ~ till~tion gas generator adapted for heating a 5 solid fuel, e.g., a high molecular weight material such as rubber or plastic, etc., or tire, etc. to convert the solid fuel to a combustible gas by heat decomposition, and to a dry (listill~tion gasification combustion equipment in which a combustion burner unit for burning a generated dry distillation gas is combined with the dry riistill~tion gas generator. Our copending application number 2,149,858 relates to a combustion burner 10 unit suitable for use in the dry (li~till~tion gasification combustion equipment.
A solid fuel combustion equipment with an upward combustion system disclosed in Japanese Laid Open Patent Application No. 231307/1984 has a combustion unit provided on a tlictill~tion unit for converting a solid fuel to a ~ till~tion gas. A heat exchange unit is provided at the upper part thereof to generate a clistill~tion gas at the 15 lower part thereof and to burn this gas as it rises through the heat exchange unit. An air supply means delivers a small quantity of air at the bottom portion of the distillation unit.
It is seen from the figure that an upward air-supply opening is bored at the bottom portion thereof.
While it can be said that the above-described equipment is, in principle, a sort2 o of dry listill~tion gasification combustion equipment, it is only a structure in which the dry (listill~tion unit and the combustion unit are continuous in upper and lower directions It is not a structure in which both units are clearly partitioned.
Referring to the dry distillation unit of this equipment, insufficient consideration is given to generation efficiency of the dry ~i~till~tion gas and to making the dry 2 5 distillation gasification process as clean as possible. Therefore, environmental problems such as the generation of soot and smoke or dust, or odor remain unsolved.
The few air supply holes bored in the bottom of this unit tend to become choked or clogged up with ashes from the combustion taking place therein. Consequently,unstable performance of the apparatus reduces the production efficiency of the dry 3 o tlistill~tion gas; or stoppage of production of the distillation occurs.
To continue operation, an operator must clean out the small air supply holes by inserting a driver, or the like, into individual holes to scrape away ashes thel~rlolll. This is tedious work, and its necessity substantially reduces the effectiveness of the equipment.
As stated above, the conventional equipment is unsatisfactory in its efficiency in the production of dry distillation gas, the generation of clean dry distillation gas, and in its performance stability. In addition, the difficulty in cleaning and maintenance are substantial drawbacks.
Further the combustion unit of this prior-art unit burns dry distillation gas only within a broad combustion chamber wherein dry (listill~tion gas is mixed with air together with soot and smoke or dust, etc. Accordingly, it is impossible to adjust 0 combustion to attain complete, clean, combustion.
A gasification fuel combustion equipment for burning gasified fuel obtained by means such as dry ~ till~tion, etc. is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No.
29365/1990. In this equipment, as in the equipment of the invention of this application, the combustion equipment of the burner system is adapted for completely burning a fuel once gasified by dry distillation or other means.
However, since this prior art equipment uses a rectification cylinder within a cylindrical combustion chamber, thus to agitate and mix air blown off from small holes with combustion gas, this equipment is satisfactory when use begins, but such holes become clogged after a little use. Furthermore, the internal structure is complicated, and 2 o its cleaning and/or maintenance are very difficult.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a dry distillation gasification combustion equipment and a dry (listill~tion gas generator which overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a system which offersefficient generation of dry combustion gas from a high-molecular weight fuel, and in which combustion is controllable to provide a clean effluent.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a combination of a dry ~ till~tion gas generator and a combustion gas burner which has high performance, is easy to handle, and has high utility.
3 o Studies on the technical problems to be solved by the present invention are as follows. First, the technical problem of the combustion burner unit will be described.
Since the combustion burner unit is exposed to high temperature at all times, it can become damaged, and permit burning materials to be ejected, or to become attached - -thereto. For this reason, frequent maintenance of this type of equipment is expected.
Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention employ a combustion burner unit having a burner with a simple internal structure having few, if any, uneven portions, so that cleaning is simplified.
To resist the high temperatures of combustion, the cylindrical burner body of the combustion burner unit of embodiments of the present invention is made of materials having excellent heat resisting properties. In order to realize complete combustion, the combustion burner unit provides excellent agitation and mixture of fuel with air to improve the combustion speed and/or efficiency.
1 o The technical problem of the dry distillation gas generator will now be described.
In order to burn and heat a solid fuel, e.g., high molecular weight material such as rubber or plastic, or tires, etc., within a dry distillation gas genelator, in order to produce a dry ~ till~ion gasified fuel by thermal decomposition, the oxygen supply for combustion must be controlled to a value low enough to allow a limited weak combustion state to last for a long time, but high enough to burn a sufficient portion of the solid fuel to thermally decompose the remainder. This requires the amount of combustion heat to be sufficient to allow only a portion of solid fuel to burn weakly over a long time, while the combustion heat decomposes the remainder of the solid fuel to a gaseous fuel.
However, it is a difficult technical problem to m~int~in and control the dry 2 o ~ till~tion conditions through control of the combustion heating system to generate a stable supply of clean combustible gas from a solid fuel such as tires. In the prior art, satisfactory combustible gas was not achievable.
In actual terms, it is first pointed out that controlling the air supply to m~int~in distillation conditions in which combustion and heating are well-balanced is technically 2 5 difficult.
Secondly, it is difficult to deliver air in a gentle even manner to reduce expulsion of soot and dust such as carbon, etc. and thereby produce clean combustible gas in a stable marmer.
Thirdly, many solid fuels such as, for example, tires, contain impurities which,3 o when burned and heated, produce byproduct h~l~uliLies such as tar, carbon, wire, spike tire pins or sand. These byproduct impurities can melt together to produce solid waste, be reduced to ashes, or otherwise result in unburned residual material. Such residual material can clog air blowoff openings. Such clogging destabilizes the supply of air, thus - making it difficult to maintAin stable combustion in which the conditions for dry distillation are satisfied.
Fourthly, it is difficult to find an easy way to elimin~tç residual hll~uliLies within a dry ~ tillation gas generator to simplify cleaning thereof, thus to prevent lowering of 5 the distillation gas generation long-term efficiency.
This invention contemplates solving the technical problems as described above.
The technical problem of the invention concerning the dry distillation gasification combustion equipment will be now described.
In recent dry distillation gasification combustion equipment, the key problems are 10 how to stably produce clean combustible gas from a solid fuel in the dry distillation gas generator and how to burn the combustible gas in the combustion gas burner unit.However, there is the problem that, while a double combustion system may be employed merely to burn a solid fuel primarily within a dry distillation gas generator to generate dry distillation gas and secondarily to burn it at the combustion unit, thereby to burn it 15 with an efficiency as high as possible, such a system cannot cope with the recent ~nvilol~lllental problem such as soot and smoke or dust, or odor, etc.
The inventor of this application contemplates a dry ~ tillation gas generator for generating dry distillation gas and a combustion gas burner unit for completely burning gasified fuel which are completely partitioned or divided, thus to improve respective 2 o functions thereof as far as possible. Especially, the inventor has drawn attention to the fact that, in order to burn a solid fuel completely enough to prevent the production of soot, smoke or odor, etc., the dry distillation gas must be as clean as possible, with a predetçrmin~cl quantity of the dry di~tillation gas produced in a stable state at all times.
With the above in view, the inventor has advantageously adopted a scheme to improve 2 5 first the portions of the dry distillation gas generator and the air supply means, and to provide an hll~uli~y separation tank in the middle of a gas conduit interconnecting the dry fli~tillation gas generator and the combustion gas burner unit to improve cleanliness of dr,v distillation gas delivered into the combustion gas burner unit.

a combustion chamber;
an air storage layer surrounding said combustion chamber;
said air storage layer receiving heat from said combustion chamber to preheat air therein;
2 5 means for flowing said fuel gas through said combustion chamber;
first means for injecting a first supply of air from outside said combustion chamber into said combustion chamber;
second means for injecting a second supply of preheated air from said air storage layer into said combustion chamber;
air injected by said second means being injected downstream of a location at which air is injected by said first means; and said first means and said second means both including means for producing a spiral flow of air in said combustion chamber, whereby agitation and mixing of said fuel gas with said air is enabled; and said second means including means to produce a higher component of air velocity 5 along a longitll-lin~l axis of a burner body than said first means.
In embodiments of any of the foregoing aspects of the present invention, the burner body may be formed of a refractory material such as ceramic.
The dry ~ till~tion gasification combustion equipment may have a gas conduit conn~cte(l to a dry ~ till~tion gas outlet of the dry (lictill~tion gas generator to provide 10 an hll~uliLy separation tank in the gas conduit connected to the gas burner unit.
In embodiments of the present invention, when a solid fuel such as a tire, etc. is ~lmittctl from the fuel entry portion into the tank furnace and air is ~tlmitte~l from the air chamber at the bottom portion thereof, a predetermined quantity of air is supplied into the dry distillation gas generator through the air blowoff section commnnicating with 15 the air chamber. Since the air blowoff section is comprised of the air vent recessed portion bored at a suitable portion of the bottom surface of the tank furnace, the air duct communicates between the air chamber provided at the central portion of the air vent recessed portion and the interior of the tank furnace. The air dispersion cap fitted into the air duct, and the blowoff hole formed at the circumferential side of the air dispersion 20 cap, cause air blown from the air duct to be supplied into the tank furnace in a decelerated and dispersed fashion substantially uniformly and laterally from the blowoff hole such that the supplied air spreads softly and evenly over the entire bottom surface.
When the accommodated solid fuel, such as a tire, etc., is ignited, only the portion of the solid fuel in the vicinity of the bottom portion of the tank furnace where 2 5 air spreads is burned.
At that time, the upper surface of the air dispersion cap serves as a portion of the bottom surface of the tank furnace such that there is no projecting portion. Thus, accornmodation of the solid fuel is easy.
Where the blowoff hole is formed on the circumferential side of the air dispersion 3 o cap, and the air vent recessed portion is formed therearound, there is no possibility of the air blowoff opening being inadvertently clogged by the solid fuel. In addition, since air forcefully spreads in a lateral direction through the air vent recessed section, and air which has lost its force is dispersed and supplied softly in an upward direction, there results a state in which air spreads softly and evenly at all times.
As a result, the combustion area of the solid fuel is limited to the portion in the vicinity of the bottom where air is stably supplied, but does not spread over other portions. Such stabilized partial combustion in the vicinity of the bottom portion heats the solid fuel thereabout so that thermal decomposition is produced. Thus, dry (li~t~ tion gas is efficiently and stably generated. Since, at all times, the air is softly diffused and supplied, there is no possibility that carbon will be picked up to float in the air within the tank furnace, thus permitting the dry distillation gas produced to be a clean gas having less hlly-lliLies.
Gas distillation gasification combustion equipment employing the dry ~ till~tiongas generator as stated above and making use of the impurity separation tank provided in the gas conduit to introduce the gas into the combustion gas burner unit efficiently and stably provides a cleaner dry (li~till~tion gas having less illll)ufilies.
The clean, dry 11istill~tion gas introduced from the gas conduit of the burner body is agit~tecl and mixed, while rotating, with the air blown off and delivered from the opening of the first air supply section within the cylindrical burner body heated in advance by the preheat burner section, and is introduced in a direction of the combustion chamber at the front end thereof. The dry (ii~till~tion air thus introduced is ignited by a pilot of the preheating burner unit, and is guided in a direction of the combustion chamber at the front end portion. The dry distillation gas thus introduced is ignited by a pilot of the preheat burner section, so it is burned while blowing out flame from the combustion chamber. In this instance, in the vicinity of the combustion chamber, the air preheated by the air storage layer is further delivered from the second air supply portion, 2 5 and is agit~t~l and mixed with combustion gas, thus further assisting combustion.
By employing such a configuration, a clean dry distillation gas is completely burned at the combustion gas burner unit.
In embodiments of the fourth aspect of the invention having a cooling layer provided at the entire outer circumference of the tank furnace, whose bottom portion is 3 o of a triple layer structure with the bottom surface made up of a heat resisting material, cooling layer and air chamber, and a cleaning port provided at the side portion of the air chamber, the configuration thus featured provides the following effect:
-- First, the presence of the cooling layer on the entire outer ch~;ulllfe~ ce of the tank furnace suppresses temperature elevation within the tank furnace to prevent extra or lmn~ces~ry combustion except for portions in the vicinity of the bottom portion of the solid fuel, thus reducing soot and smoke or dust and floating particulates as much as 5 possible.
Since the bottom portion is a triple layer structure, the high temperature portion on the surface of the bottom has sufficient durability. Further the cooling layer prevents the temperature of the bottom portion of the tank furnace from rising higher than is required. The large air chamber permits an even supply of air over the entire bottom 10 portion. The supplied air is pre-heated.
In addition, the cleaning port at the side of the air chamber permits easy cleaning of acc~lm~ te~l residual i~ ulilies that may have dropped through the air duct.
By using the dry tli~till~tion gas generator as stated above, the dry distillation gasification combustion equipment of this fourth aspect of the invention efficiently and 5 stably generates dry distillation gas including less impurities to allow it to serve as a cleaner dry distillation gas. This cleanliness is further improved by the hll~ulily separation tank in the middle of the gas conduit. The dry distillation gas generated by the dry distillation gas generator of the embodiments of the fourth aspect of the invention has a cleanness higher than that of the embodiments of the first aspect of the invention.
The dry distillation gas is sufficiently clean to be completely burned in the combustion gas burner unit. Since the effect within the combustion gas burner unit is the same as that within the combustion gas burner unit described in respect of the first aspect of the invention, its explanation is omitted here.
Since the effect of the dry distillation gas generator of the third aspect of the 2 5 invention is the same as that of the dry distillation gas generator of the first aspect of the invention, and the effect of the dry distillation gas generator of the fourth aspect of the invention is the same as that of the first aspect of the invention, their explanation is omitted here.
In addition, the effect within the combustion gas burner unit of the fifth aspect of the invention is also the same as that of the first aspect of the invention, its explanation is omitted here.
Briefly stated, one aspect of the present invention provides a dry distillation gas generator which generates a dry distillation gas for burning in a separate combustion gas burner unit. Air is supplied in a gentle decelerated flow to the bottom of the dry cli~till~tion gas generator in a quantity sufficient to support combustion of a solid fuel in the vicinity of the air supply, but at a low enough volume to prevent the combustion procee-lin~ to other parts of the gas generator, thus thermally decomposing the remainder of the solid fuel to generate the dry distillate gas. An air chamber surrounds the gas generator to reduce the temperature to which the solid fuel is exposed. Similarly, an air chamber is disposed below the bottom of the gas generator to supply air to the gas generator, and to moderate the temperature therein. An i~ ulily separation tank in a conduit between the gas generator and the gas burner unit helps prevent particulates from 0 entering the gas generator. A preheat burner in the combustion gas burner unit includes a pilot to ignite and preheat the gas. A first air injection device injects air from outside the gas burner in a spiral flow to agitate and mix the gas with air. A second air injection device injects air preheated in an air storage layer surrounding the gas burner unit into the gas burner in a spiral flow to further agitate and mix the gas with air. The injection point of the second air injection device is downstream of the injection point of the first air injection device.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the dry distillation gasification combustion equipment of the present invention includes a dry (li~till~tion gas generator 1 and a combustion gas burner unit which are separate units connected together by means of a gas conduit 4. An illl~uliLy separation tank 3 is positioned in the middle portion of gas conduit 4. (The combustion gas burner itself is the subject of our copending patent application number 2,149,858.) The dry distillation gasification combustion equipment of the embodiment shown is especially adaptable for burning used tires and for generating dry distillation gas thererl.~lll to completely burn used tires, thus providing thermal energy. In accordance with this equipment, the gas conduit 4 is connected to a dry distillation gas outlet 5 at the rear of dry ~lictill~tion gas generator 1. A combustion gas burner unit 2 is connected to the end of the gas conduit 4.
Dry distillation gas generator 1 includes a tank furnace 7 made of carbon steel,having a fuel throw-in portion 6, or feed door, adapted so that it can be opened and closed to receive solid fuel. Dry distillation gas outlet 5 is conn~ctç~l to tank furnace 7.
A safety valve 8 at the top of the tank furnace 7 permits the discharge of excessive pressure from tank furnace 7 in the event of a malfunction. A further safety valve 8a, shown in dashed lines in Figure 2, may be provided according to need.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, fuel throw-in portion 6 includes a tank door 6c that can be opened and closed to reveal a large fuel entrance/exit 6a at the front side of 2 5 the tank furnace 7. Screw-type sealing devices 6b, or clamps, hold tank door 6c sealed over entrance/exit 6a to prevent the loss of fuel gas thel~lluough. The large size of fuel entrance/exit 6a eases feeding of a stack of solid fuel into the tank furnace 7, and removing residual material after combustion. The large size of fuel entrance/exit 6a also simplifies cleaning of the interior of tank furnace 7.
3 o Although the embodiment shown employs a single dry ~ till~tion gas outlet 5 in the rear of tank furnace 7, one skilled in the art will recognize that additional dry tli.~till~tion gas outlets (not shown) may be added about the cil.;ulll~elellce of tank furnace 7 without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. If a plurality of dry -- distillation gas outlets are included, a single one may be chosen as required by piping requirements, or, alternatively, two or more dry ~ till~tion gas outlets may be employed siml-lt~n~ously to convey the dry distillation gas from tank furnace 7.
A cooling layer 9 encircles the entire circumference of the tank furnace 7.
5 Cooling water is circulated in cooling layer 9 to control the temperature of the outside wall of tank furnace 7.
Cooling layer 9 extends behind the packing of tank door 6c covering fuel entrance/exit 6a. The portion of cooling layer 9 in this region avoids accelerated heat aging of the packing sealing tank door 6c, thereby enabling long-term use of theo equipment.
The bottom portion of the tank furnace 7 is a triple layer structure. The upper part of the triple layer structure is a bottom surface 10 of a heat resisting material such as a refractory material. Cooling layer 9 extends under bottom surface 10. An air chamber 11 is located below cooling layer 9. Removable clearing ports lla at the sides 15 of air chamber 11 permit purging of debris therefrom.
The inner circumferential surfaces of the lower portions of the bottom surface 10 and the tank furnace 7 are exposed to combustion heat. Consequently, at least these portions of the interior of tank furnace 7 are lined with a refractory (ceramic) material for its heat-resisting properties.
The cooling layer 9 forms a water jacket system in which cooling water is contained at the outside of the bottom surface 10, and is adapted to cool the bottom surface 10 subject to high temperature, thus to realize protection thereof and an increased durable life. The air chamber 11 formed outside the cooling layer 9 is in the form of an air chamber formed on the entire surface of the bottom portion, and is of a structure 2 5 such that blowoff of air is caused to be uniform, and that a n~cess~ry quantity of air can be supplied at any time.
At the bottom portion of the tank furnace 7, a plurality of air blowoff portions12 are distributed substantially uniformly over the area of bottom surface 10.
Referring now to FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, each of the air blowoff portions 12 3 o includes an air vent recessed portion 13 recessed in bottom surface 10. An air duct 14 commllnicates air between air chamber 11 and the center of the air vent recessed portion 13 to permit the flow of air thele~ ough into the interior of tank furnace 7. An air dispersion cap 15 is fitted at the top of each air duct 14.
Referring specifically to Figure 5, air duct 14 includes a fiKing member 19 including an air dispersion cap receiving portion 17 at the upper end opening portion of a tubular body 16. An embedded projecting portion 18 projects ~ulw~ld from air duct 14. Embedded projecting portion 18 is embedded in bottom surface 10. A cylindrical body 20 (Figure 8) extends downwal-l from tubular body 16, through cooling layer 9, and to air chamber 11.
Referring again to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, air dispersion cap 15 is a heat resisting special casting in the form of an inverse triangular cone, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. An upper surface 21 of air dispersion cap 15 is flat. A lower surface of air dispersion cap 0 15 is a tapered surface 22. A plurality of radial projections 23 extend down tapered surface 22. Centering projections 24 at a lower end of air dispersion cap 15 contact the inner surface of air duct 14 to m~int~in air dispersion cap 15 centered with respect to air duct 14. The radial projections 23 and the air dispersion cap receiving portion 17 m~int~in a blowoff channel or hole 25 between the air dispersion cap receiving portion 17 and the tapered surface 22.
Upper surface 21 of air dispersion cap 15, fitted into the opening in the tank furnace 7, forms a portion of the bottom surface 10 of tank furnace 7. Air entering from air duct 14 is decelerated and dispersed to enter tank furnace 7 substantially uniformly through ouLw~rdly tapering blowoff holes 25 between the side of air dispersion cap 15 and air dispersion cap receiving portion 17. The air thus supplied spreads softly and evenly over the entire bottom surface 10 along the air vent recessed portion 13 around the air dispersion cap 15.
As described above, in accordance with this invention, air blowoff portions 12 are made up of the air duct 14 and the air dispersion cap 15. Air duct 14 is fixed in the bottom of tank furnace 7 and air dispersion cap 15 is removably fixed in air duct 14.
This makes it possible to cope with expansion and distortion due to heat over a long period of use. Further, air dispersion cap 15 can be removed to simplify cleaning, exchange, and/or maintenance thereof.
It is to be noted that, although not shown, tank furnace 7 includes a temperature 3 o sensor for monitoring the temperature of the dry distillation gas produced, a sensor for automatically controlling the quantity of gas produced after the temperature reaches a predetermined temperature (150 degree(s) to 200 degree(s) C.), and an electromagnetic valve for allowing air to be completely sealed off when the power supply is interrupted `-- either intentionally or due to primary power hl~ell.lplion. Such sensing and control enables complete control of the process of dry distillation of solid fuel.
Referring now to FIGS. 9 and 10, combustion gas burner unit 2 includes a cylindrical burner body 26, of a refractory material such as, for example, a ceramic.
5 A gas conduit portion 27 at the upstream end of burner body 26 admits dry distillate gas from tank furnace 7. A combustion chamber 28 is provided at the downstream end of burner body 26. A preheat burner unit 29 for igni~in~ a pilot flame is positioned in the bottom of burner body 26, near its upstream end. An air storage layer 30 encircles the outer cil.;unlr~ ce of an intermediate portion of burner body 26.
1 o It is to be noted that, although combustion chamber 28 is shown as a removable structure, one skilled in the art will recognize that it may be integrally formed with burner body 26 without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
A first air supply section 31 opens through the wall of burner body 26 at a forward angle and a skew angle with respect to the longit~ldin:~l axis of burner body 26 1 5 to apply a forward velocity component and a rotating velocity component to the injected air to cause the injected air to rotate in a forward-moving spiral within burner body 26.
A pair of second air supply sections 32 and 32 pass from air supply layer 30 to enter burner body 26 at a position downstream of the entry of air supply section 31, and at a shallower forward angle to produce a higher component of air velocity along the axis of 2 o burner body 26. Second air supply sections 32 and 32 are also skewed with respect to the longi~l-lin~l axis of burner body 26 to impart spiral rotation to the injected air. The resulting along-axis and spiral motion of the injected air is illustrated by spiral lines in Figure 9.
The spiral rotation imparted to the air by the skewed positioning of first air supply section 31 and second air supply sections 32 and 32, tend to mix the fuel gas passing through burner body 26 with the injected air.
Air storage layer 30 is preheated by heat conduction from the combustion within burner body 26. As a consequence, the air from second air supply sections 32 and 32 is injected at an elevated temperature to improve combustion at the relatively downstream 3 o location of injection.
According to the foregoing, the present invention provides a dry distillation gasification combustion equipment in which a dry ~listill;~tion gas generator, a combustion gas burner unit, and an impurity separation tank are connected together by a gas conduit.
An air blowoff section includes an air vent recessed portion bored in the bottom surface of a tank furnace. An air duct feeds air through an air chamber in the center of the air vent recessed portion into the interior of the tank furnace. An air dispersion cap located in the air duct where it opens into the tank furnace forms a portion of the bottom surface 5 of the tank furnace. A blowoff opening is formed about the circumference of the air dispersion cap so that air from the air duct enters the tank furnace substantially uniformly in a decelerated and dispersed state in a radial direction. The supplied air thus spreads softly and evenly over the entire bottom surface of the tank furnace. Accordingly, when a solid fuel such as tires is loaded through fuel door into the tank furnace, air is supplied o to the tank furnace uniformly, and in a decelerated and dispersed fashion. The slow unirolm air flow prevents emission of embers and dust from the tank furnace. Air flow control is suitable to limit the amount of air to that required to generate dry ~1istill~te fuel gas from the solid fuel by burning only a portion of the solid fuel.
The dry (listill~tion gas generator of the present invention permits stable supply 15 of a predetermined quantity of air controlled so as to m~int~in the distillation condition with balanced combustion and heating. For this reason, the combustion area is limited to a portion of the solid fuel near the bottom portion where air is stably supplied. Such stabilized partial combustion in the vicinity of the bottom portion heats the remainder of the solid fuel in the tank furnace to produce thermal decomposition. Thus, dry 2 o distillation gas is efficiently and stably generated.
Since air supplied is softly diffused and supplied at all times, whirling or floating up of carbon within the tank furnace is avoided, thus making it possible to generate clean combustible gas in a stabilized manner.
The upper surface of the air dispersion cap forms a portion of the bottom surface 2 5 of the tank furnace. A blowoff opening about the circumference of the air dispersion cap supplies air from the air duct into the tank furnace radially in a uniform, decelerated and dispersed marmer.
The present invention provides the following advantages. When a solid fuel such as tires is burned and heated, il--~uflLies such as tar, carbon, wire, spike tire pin, or 3 o sand, etc. are heated together, so that they are melted, are reduced to ashes, or result in residual material. Such residual material cannot easily clog the air blowoff opening in the bottom of the tank furnace. For this reason, the air supply remains stable in use, ~076651 thus making it possible to stably m~int~in for a long time the heat/combustion state in which the conditions for dry distillation are satisfied.
Since the air blowoff opening is large, it is easy to clean and remove residual impurities from the dry distillation gas generator by removing the air dispersion cap.
This extends the time during which the dry distillation gas generation can operate.
The combustion gas burner unit burns the clean dry (ii~till~tion gas fed from the tank furnace through a gas conduit. The dry distillation gas is ignited by a pilot burner in a preheat burner section and is then rotated and mixed with air injected through a skewed first air supply section of the burner body to enable further combustion. The first l o air supply section injects air with a forward component of velocity along the axis of the combustion gas burner. An air supply is preheated in an air storage layer before being injected through a second air supply section into the combustion gas burner unit at a location downstream of the injection by the first air supply section. The second air supply section is skewed to rotate the injected air for agitation and mixing, and is directed in the downstream direction to increase the travel velocity of the burning gas.
The second air supply section is less skewed, but its forward angle is greater than the first air supply section. The combination of plentiful air supply and vigorous agitation with preheating in the combustion burner unit provides efficient and complete combustion of the clean dry distillation gas.
2 o The dry distillation gasification combustion equipment of the present invention efficiently and stably generates a dry ~ till~tion gas including less impurities. An hll~uliLy separation tank in the gas conduit carrying the gas to the combustion gas burner unit traps hlll~ulilies (dust, embers, ashes, etc.) to deliver clean dry distillation gas to the combustion gas burner unit. This permits the generation of thermal energy without the emission of soot, smoke or dust into the environment. The dry distillation gasification combustion equipment of the invention is combined with a combustion gas burner unit, and an impurity separation tank connected together by a gas conduit.
A cooling layer about the entire outer circumference of the tank furnace lowers the temperature therein to prevent extra or unnecessary combustion except at the portion 3 o in the vicinity of the bottom of the solid fuel to reduce the production of soot, smoke or dust to a mh~illlulll, thus permi~ting production of a clear dry distillation gas.
Using a three-layer structure in the bottom of the tank furnace improves the durability of the high temperature portion on the surface of the bottom portion. A cooling ~076651 layer, through which combustion air passes on its way to the interior of the tank furnace, keeps the temperature of the bottom surface of the tank furnace at a relatively low temperature without permitting the temperature to rise higher than is required. The air passing through the cooling layer is pre-heated to improve the efficiency of the tank 5 furnace.
The sides of the air chamber include cleaning ports to enable the cleaning out of residual ill~ulilies that may have dropped through the air duct in the bottom of the tank furnace.
The i~ Uli~y separation tank in the middle of the gas conduit cleans the dry o distillation gas to permit complete combustion in the combustion gas burner unit without the emission of soot, dust or smoke.
Clean dry ~ till~tion gas from the gas conduit section of the burner body is ignited by a pilot in a preheat burner section, and is then rotated, agitated and mixed with air from openings of the first and second air supply sections within the cylindrical 15 burner body.
Having described pl~efelled embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to those precise embodiments, and that various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention as 2 o defined in the appended claims.
