Abstract

The protective cap (80) for a thermocouple (44) in a gasifier (10) is installed at an opening of a thermocouple cavity in a hot-face lining of the reaction chamber of the gasifier. The cap is a generally disc-shaped structure that, in one embodiment, includes an upper slag deflecting surface over the receding surface to bypass the receding surface. A counterbore is formed in the refractory lining to accommodate the protective cap and to enable the protective cap to be recessed in the refractory lining. Holes can be formed in the cap with an upward incline to minimize the possibility of downwardly moving slag flowing through the holes into the thermocouple cavity (50). The holes can be made small enough to minimize the risk of allowing excessive radiant heat from reaching the gasifier vessel or shell. A peripheral edge of the cap has upper and lower portions that slope downwardly to help maintain the cap in its position in the counterbore.

Description

The guard shield that is used for the thermopair of gas generator
Technical field
The present invention relates to gas generator, the closure assembly and the method thereof of the gas generator jar of more especially a kind of new protection thermopair and near the nearside thermopair.
Background technology
U.S. Patent No. 2,809,104 and 5,484, this class gas generator shown in 554 is handled and is comprised that the carbon-containing fuel of coal, petroleum coke, combustion gas and oil produces the gaseous mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and known variable is as artificial fuel gas, combustion gas, reducing gas and inflammable gas.
The cover body of gas generator generally includes the outer reactor vessel or the shell of a steel, and the inside is serving as a contrast one or more insulation and refractory masses for example refractory clay and refractory brick, is also referred to as fireproof casing (refractory lining) or refractory brick.The inner space of gas generator comprises a reaction chamber, and the conversion of carbon-containing fuel to combustion gas takes place therein.The operating temperature range of typical gas generator is from about 2200 °F to 3000 °F.Typical working pressure range is from 10 to 200 atmospheric pressure.
If the temperature in the gas generator is higher than predetermined limits, the fireproof casing of the inside can melt, thereby does not cause the gas generator shell of steel protected and be subjected to the infringement of possible hot situation.If the working temperature of gas generator is lower than predetermined limits, the gasification conversion ratio from the carbon-containing fuel to the combustion gas causes inadequate gas products with regard to a low work efficiency is arranged.With the information of temperature correlation in the gas generator be the important indicator that judges whether to exist suitable gasification condition.Be to be undertaken to carrying out temperature survey in the gas generator as everyone knows by one or more thermopair is installed on the one or more horizontal levels of gas generator fireproof casing.
Usually provide thermopair in the centre of gas generator or lower sidewall face.Temperature survey at these horizontal levels also can be used to infer about gas generator the information of the condition of work of other horizontal level.The quantity of the thermopair that uses depends on the feed type that is provided with in the gas generator usually, for example coal or light oil, and the quantity of the slag that produces.For example, the blast furnace slag gas generator can adopt 8 thermopairs, however for example low slag device or do not have the slag device and can only use two thermopairs.
In a kind of known gas generator, a thermocouple cavity that prolongs is held a thermopair that prolongs, and its fireproof casing that extends through gas generator shell and inside is up to reaction chamber.One end of thermopair is supported on the gas generator shell, and an opposite end is recessed into from the hot exposed surface of fireproof casing, just known hot side surface.Usually keep the cross-sectional area of thermocouple cavity as much as possible little, arrive the gas generator shell by thermocouple cavity to prevent excessive heat.
In some known gas generators, fireproof casing comprises one or more adjacent refractory masses, for example refractory brick.Known working as,, when it was heated to the working temperature of gas generator from room temperature, refractory brick can expand.Because the temperature between fireproof casing and the gas generator shell is different with thermal expansivity, therefore refractory brick " move " with respect to the gas generator shell in thermal expansion process.As the result of fireproof casing thermal expansion, the thermocouple cavity in the fireproof casing also will move with respect to the gas generator shell.
Because thermopair is fixed on the gas generator shell, the thermal expansion of refractory brick furnace lining will cause the relative position between thermopair and the thermocouple cavity to change usually.Corresponding to the room temperature condition of gas generator, thermocouple cavity has an ambient temperature position with respect to thermopair like this.Corresponding to the operational temperature conditions of gas generator, thermocouple cavity also has a working temperature position with respect to thermopair, and it is different from ambient temperature position.
As everyone knows, when many carbon-containing fuels change into combustion gas, on the hot side surface of gas generator fireproof casing, form slag.Slag usually along the vertical component effect on hot side surface to dirty.The slag that moves down can move to the thermocouple cavity of level usually by the cavity opening on fireproof casing hot side surface.The slag that enters thermocouple cavity is with the clearance space between thermopair and the thermocouple cavity wall in portion's filling or the total blockage thermocouple cavity.
In case reduce or eliminate because slag is piled up the space that causes around thermopair, because the expansion or the contraction of fireproof casing, thermocouple cavity can cause that with respect to any mobile of thermopair the curing slag in thermocouple cavity produces a power, and it is vertically upward or to pressing down thermopair.This power can cause the shearing of thermopair, because it is supported on the gas generator shell, relative to not moving.
Gas generator sometimes needs maintenance and repair.Some repairings are preferably in gas generator and finish behind the working temperature cool to room temperature.At cooling stage, fireproof casing shrinks.This contraction causes thermocouple cavity to change with respect to thermocouple location.Therefore when gas generator cools off, the infringement of thermopair may take place, if particularly when thermocouple cavity is cured the slag obstruction.
As previously described in when cooling, fireproof casing mobile causes the slag in the thermocouple cavity that slag blocks to promote relatively-stationary thermoelectricity producing the power that puts on thermopair occasionally.When gas generator carries out with the incoherent repairing of thermopair and when cooling, the slag by thermocouple cavity shrinks and produces infringement or the shear that the power that puts on thermopair also can cause one or more thermopair, needs to remove or change the thermopair that damages.
The repairing of thermopair or replacing also need to remove the slag that accumulates in hardening in the thermocouple cavity.Slag that remove to solidify from thermocouple cavity and the thermopair of reinstalling replacing expend time in and costliness.
Therefore want to avoid slag to move into the problem of thermocouple cavity opening and slag obstruction thermocouple cavity.No matter whether gas generator produces slag, also wants to make by the heat transmission of thermocouple cavity from the reaction chamber to the gas generator and reduces to minimum.Want to protect the container or the shell of near the gas generator of thermocouple cavity in addition.

Embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawings, gas generator is generally represented with the reference number among Fig. 1 10.
Gas generator 10 comprises an outer reactor vessel or shell 12, preferably is made of steel, and an internal refractory lining 14 and the top neck 18 that is supporting feed injector 20 are arranged.Fireproof casing 14 (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) comprises, the hot-face layer 24 that for example has the refractory brick on hot side surface (hot-face surface) 26, refractory brick supporting layer (backup layer) 30, the outermost layer 34 of refractory brick, the compressible refractory insulating layer 38 that between outermost layer 34 and gas generator shell 12, is provided with.
The reaction chamber 40 (Fig. 1) that fireproof casing 14 limits in the gas generator 10, it accepts to be used to change into synthetic gas or " closing gas " from the carbon-containing fuel of feed injector 20.The portion that is presented at below the gas generator of Fig. 1 shows that in Fig. 1 it doesn't matter for the understanding of the present invention because they can have any suitable known structure.
Offer gas generator 10 many any suitable known commercial available thermopairs 44 (Fig. 2).Thermopair 44 comprises the end 46 that is supported on the inlet of the known thermopair mouth of pipe (nozzle) 48 in any suitable mode, and thermopair 44 extends through the thermocouple 49 in the gas generator shell 12.The thermopair mouth of pipe 48 is welded on the gas generator shell 12 in any suitable mode.The thermopair 44 that extends through the thermocouple cavity 50 in the fireproof casing 14 has a free end 54, the hot side surface 26 of its recessed fireproof casing 14.
Thermocouple cavity 50 (Fig. 2) comprises the chamber portion 58 of hot side brick layer 24, supports the chamber portion 60 of brick layer 30 and the cavity 62 of outermost face brick layer 34.Chamber portion 62 usually with interior thermocouple 49 being aligneds of gas generator shell 12.The periphery wall of thermocouple cavity 50 is represented with reference number 64 usually, will be understood to include the wall or the periphery (Fig. 3-5) of each chamber portion 58,60 and 62.
There is opening 68 (Fig. 2) on the hot side surface 26 of thermocouple cavity 50, and opening 68 is not capped usually.Therefore slag (not having to show) produces in the gasification of many different feeds, moves down the opening 68 that can enter into thermocouple cavity 50 along hot side surface 26.Thermocouple cavity 50 inner accumulated slag reduce at last or cancellation thermopair 44 and thermocouple cavity wall 64 between clearance space.
Usually the clearance amount (Fig. 2-5) that provides between thermopair 44 and the thermocouple cavity wall 64 depends on several competition factors.A factor is that clearance must be enough to avoid when gas generator 10 heats or cools off the interference when flame retardant coating 24,30 and expansion of 34 normal heats and contraction between the wall 64 of thermopair 44 and thermocouple cavity sections 58,60 and 62.
About another factor of selecting clearance suitable between thermopair 44 and the cavity wall 64 is that the cross-sectional openings of working as thermocouple cavity sections 58,60 and 62 (also being thermopair chamber 50) increases, it is bigger that slag will enter into the possibility of more depths of thermocouple cavity 50 from cavity opening 68, reduced or eliminated the clearance of expectation.
About another consideration of selecting suitable clearance is that clearance space between thermopair 44 and the thermocouple cavity wall 64 is big more, and gas generator shell 12 is exposed to by the risk from the heat of reaction chamber 40 of thermocouple cavity 50 big more.If the gas generator shell 12 in thermocouple 49 (Fig. 2) does not have the protected production heat that is not subjected to fireproof casing 14 that makes, the infringement of meeting generating cover.
Thermocouple cavity sections 58 and 60 (Fig. 2-4) is usually in flame retardant coating 24 and the elongation of 30 vertical direction of expansion, with compensation flame retardant coating 24 and 30 normal ranges with respect to thermopair 44 vertical moving.
Because hot side brick layer 24 than supporting brick layers 30 or outermost face brick layer 34 to bear hot greatly exposure and thermal expansion and contraction, is being supported in chamber portion 58 internal ratios of hot side brick layer 24 to provide more vertical elongated or thermopair clearance in the chamber portion 60 and 62 of brick layer 30 and outermost face brick layer 34.
With reference to figure 2-5, before gas reaction generator 10 was heated to working temperature, with respect to solid furnace lining (solid line) thermocouple cavity sections 58 and 60, the position of thermopair 44 was corresponding to the room temperature condition of gas reaction generator 10.In gas generator 10 startup work, when gas generator when room temperature condition is heated to operational temperature conditions, the flame retardant coating 24,30 and 34 that is supported on the bottom (not having to show) of gas generator will upwards expand usually.
Because hot-face layer 24 (Fig. 1) is than layer 30 or 34 a more close reaction chamber 40, when gas generator when room temperature is heated to operational temperature conditions, layer 24 will produce bigger expansion than layer 30 or 34.Equally, usually layer 30 is compared with layer 34 and will be produced bigger expansion, because layer 30 is than layer 34 a more close reaction chamber 40.
Thereby as shown in Fig. 2 and 3, chamber portion 58 with respect to layer 24, the ambient temperature position of thermopair 44 allows layer 24 a more substantial vertical movement, provides the chamber portion 60 (Fig. 2 and 4) than layer 30 and the more thermal expansion clearance of chamber portion 62 (Fig. 2 and 5) of layer 34 with the bottom at thermopair 44.
Fig. 3 and 4 dotted lines show the working temperature position of thermopair 44 with respect to thermocouple cavity sections 58 and 60.With respect to chamber portion 62 (Fig. 5), the working temperature position of thermopair 44 is identical haply under operational temperature conditions and room temperature condition, expands with identical haply speed with the gas generator shell 12 that supports the thermopair mouth of pipe 48 and thermopair 44 because contain the refractory brick outermost layer 34 of chamber portion 62.
When slag (not show) when hot side 26 flows downward, it enters into thermocouple cavity 50 by cavity opening 68 (Fig. 2).The accumulation of slag in thermocouple cavity 50 causes the clearance between the wall 64 of thermopair 44 and thermocouple cavity 50 to reduce or eliminate.When gas generator 10 during for the purpose cool to room temperature condition safeguarding or repair, fireproof casing 24 and 30 will produce contraction in downward direction.Thereby therefore the slag of any predetermined quantity can produce downward power infringement or shear thermopair 44 to thermopair 44 in thermocouple cavity 50.
Flow to the problem of gas generator shell 12 in order to solve slags accumulation problems in the thermocouple cavity 50 and heat by thermocouple cavity 50, a kind of new guard shield 80 (Fig. 6-8 and 11A-11D) is provided.
With reference to figure 6 and 7, guard shield 80 covers the opening 120 (Fig. 7) of thermocouple cavity 58.Guard shield 80 protection thermopairs 44 eliminate haply that slag moves to thermocouple cavity 58 and caloric restriction flow to gas generator shell 12 by thermocouple cavity 58.The hot-face layer 24 (Fig. 6) on preferred guard shield 80 recessed hot side surfaces 26.
With reference to figure 11A, 11B, 11C and 11D, guard shield 80 is a disk-like structure and be made of compact aluminum oxide normally.Cover 80 has smooth usually vertical rear surface 84 of a front surface 82, one and the outer rim 86 between front surface and the rear surface.When covering on the orientation of selection as shown in Figure 8, front surface 82 comprises the slag transfer portion 90 on top, and it tilts to depart from rear surface 84 downward vertically.Front surface 82 also comprises a hypsokinesis portion 92, be positioned at slag transfer portion 90 below.When cover 80 during in selected orientation shown in Figure 8, hypsokinesis portion 92 84 inclinations towards the rear surface downwards.The area of preferred slag transfer portion 90 is littler than the area of hypsokinesis portion 92.
The outer rim 86 of cover 80 shows the most clearly in Figure 11 D, when cover is positioned at the orientation of the selection shown in Fig. 6-8, has top 96 and bottom 98, and it slopes downwardly into rear surface 84 from front surface 82.Cover 80 has maximum thickness under this arrangement, and slag transfer portion 90 and hypsokinesis portion 92 are in intersecting lens 100 places intersections (Figure 11 D).
Pair of holes 104 and 106 (Figure 11 A and 11D) extends through front surface 82 up to the rear surface 84, from front surface 82 rear surface 84 that is inclined upwardly, when cover 80 is shown in selected orientation as Fig. 6-8. Preferred hole 104 and 106 is positioned at the hypsokinesis portion 92 (Figure 11 B) of front surface 82.It should be noted that two holes 104 and 104 can make the work of cover 80 easy when installation or removal if desired.It also is feasible providing a hole on cover 80.There is a hole also to allow two holes 104 shown in this boring ratio and 106 to adopt bigger pitch angle in cover 80 the hypsokinesis portion 92.The cover that does not have the hole also is feasible.
With reference to figure 7 and 8, preferably forming thermocouple cavity 58 in the refractory block 110 and 112 up and down, it is made of compact aluminum oxide, and each pad comprises a cavities 58.Find that two independent pads 110 and 112 handle and install on hot-face layer 24 than a pad that contains cavity 58 (not show) is easier.
Thermocouple cavity 58 (Fig. 7) comprises the counter sink (couterbore) 118 on the cavity opening 120.Counter sink 118 and the rear surface 84 and outer rim 86 shape complementarities that cover 80.Because the portion 96 and 98 that outer rim 86 is downward-sloping, therefore guard shield 80 can be entered counter sink 118, helps to keep the position of cover 80 in counter sink 118 so that cover 80 weight.If necessary, providing fire-resistant sicker (not showing) to come further to cover 80 on the outer rim 86 of the surface of counter sink 118 and cover 80 is fixed in the counter sink 118.
Although the size of guard shield 80 depends in part on the size (Fig. 9 A and 10A) of thermopair 44 and refractory block 110 and 112, the size example of guard shield 80 comprises the about 115mm of height of rear surface 84, intersecting lens 100 is approximately 100mm to the distance of following peripheral part 98, and the distance from intersecting lens 100 to last peripheral part 96 is approximately 17mm.The width of the rounded portions of the hypsokinesis portion 92 of front surface 82 is approximately 113mm.Angle between slag transfer portion 90 and the hypsokinesis portion 92 is approximately 145 °.Angle between slag transfer portion 90 and the last peripheral part 96 is approximately 110 °.Angle between hypsokinesis portion 92 and the following peripheral part 98 is approximately 105 °.Angle between last peripheral part 96 and the rear surface 84 is approximately 100 °.Angle between following peripheral part 98 and the rear surface is 80 °. Peripheral part 96 and 98 thickness are approximately 22mm up and down, and hole 104 and 106 diameter are approximately 25mm, and the angle between the rear surface 84 is approximately 80 °.Distance between the hole on the front surface 92 104 and 106 is approximately 24mm.
To 9D, following refractory block 112 comprises hot side surface element 126 and half countersink region 118a with reference to figure 9A, following peripheral part 98 complementations of itself and guard shield 80.Following refractory block 112 also comprises the bottom 58a of cavity 58 and relative sidewall 128 and 130, and it has a small inclination from hot side surface element 126 to rear surface portion 132.Because providing the local described pad of refractory block 112 on fireproof casing 14 is cylindricality, hot side surface element 126 (Fig. 9 C) is 130 slight depression from sidewall 128 to sidewall, and rear surface 132 is 130 slight convex from sidewall 128 to sidewall. Angled side walls 128 and 130 helps to descend refractory block 112 to be locked in 24 li of hot-face layer, and here fireproof casing 14 is cylindricalitys.Following refractory block 112 also comprises basal surface 134 and faces the top surface 136 of last refractory block 110.
