Definitions
- This invention relates to bogie type furnaces and in particular to such furnaces with improved bogie-to-furnace seals.
- the floor of the furnace chamber is constituted at least partly by a bogie which is movable into and out of the furnace between opposed furnace walls.
- a bogie which is movable into and out of the furnace between opposed furnace walls.
- this clearance On the other hand during firing in the chamber it is necessary to closely seal this clearance to prevent the escape of heat and gases therethrough and possible damage to unprotected parts of the bogie structure and/or other elements in the vicinity.
- sand seals comprised by channels provided at the outside edges of the bogie and filled with sand, the furnace being provided with downwardly depending flanges disposed so as to extend downwardly into the sand and plough through the sand in the channels as the bogie passes in the furnace.
- These seals are however on the one hand unable to provide a close gas-tight seal or withstand any elevated pressure and on the other hand are subject to substantial disturbance during opening and closing and movement of the bogie and thus require constant monitoring and topping-up to replace lost sand.
- the present invention provides a bogie type furnace having a bogie movable into and out of a furnace chamber zone between opposed furnace walls of a main furnace structure, characterised in that said bogie has an outwardly extending edge portion with a downwardly facing surface and said main furnace structure has inwardly extending downwardly facing surfaces at or in proximity to said opposed walls, said respective downwardly facing surfaces being formed and arranged so as to be at substantially the same level and to define a small clearance between their opposed free edges in an inserted operational position of the bogie in the firing chamber zone, at least one of said bogie and main furnace structure being provided with a sealing means support supporting an upwardly facing heat resistant sealing means and movable between a sealing position with said sealing means in sealing engagement with said downwardly facing surfaces of both the bogie and main furnace structure so as to seal the clearance therebetween and an open position in which said sealing means is spaced from said downwardly facing surfaces.
- the heat resistant sealing means is of a flexible ceramic fibre material.
- the sealing means support is mounted on the main furnace structure and is provided with remote drive means operable from the exterior side of the furnace walls for moving said support and sealing means between said open and sealing positions.
- FIG. 2 shows part of one side wall 1 of a main furnace body with a refractory lining 2 in the region of a firing chamber zone 3.
- Part of a bogie 4 is shown in an inserted position between said side wall 1 and the opposed side wall.(not shown), the main platform 5 of the bogie 4 which has a refractory lining 6 forming the floor 7 of said firing chamber zone 3.
- the bogie is dimensioned relative to the main furnace body so that 'there is a small clearance 8 on each side between the outer edge of the bogie platform 5 and the bottom of the opposed side wall lining 2 and an adjacent support flange 9. These clearances 8 enable free movement of the bogie 4 into and out of the firing chamber zone in the furnace.
- respective sealing means in the form of ceramic fibre seals 10 mounted in upwardly facing U-shaped channel sections 11 which in turn are supported on a plurality of outwardly extending support arms 12 at inner ends 13 thereof.
- the outer ends 14 of the support arms 12 on each side of the furnace are non-rotatably secured to a respective drive connection rod 15 with the aid of keys 16.
- connection rods 15 extend along the outside walls of the furnace on which they are supported via suitable bearing means 36.
- a connecting arm 17 On each side of the furnace a connecting arm 17 has a first end 18 likewise non-rotatably connected to a respective connecting rod 15 with the aid of a key. (not shown) and a second end 19 pivotally connected 20 to the distal end 21 of a piston rod 22 of a pneumatic piston and cylinder drive means 23.
- the cylinder 24 of the drive means 23 is pivotally connected 25 to a support bracket 26 provided on the respective outside wall of the furnace. As may be seen in Fig.
- the support arms 12 and connecting arms 17 though laterally displaced from one another along the length of the rod function together as a bell crank lever so that in the extended position of the piston and cylinder 23 with the outer end 19 of the connecting arm held downwardly the inner ends 13 of the support arms 12 exert an upward pressure on the channel 11 to hold the seal tightly against the undersides of the opposed outer edges 5 of the bogie platform and the inward bottom edge of the refractory lining 2 and adjacent flange 9 bridging the clearance 8 therebetween and thus sealing it against the passage of hear or gases from the firing chamber zone therebetween.
- Due to the flexible nature of the ceramic fibre seal 10 it is possible to obtain a substantially tight sealing even in the presence of minor surface imperfections in the seal engaging surfaces of the bogie and main furnace body. In order to facilitate this close sealing the seal lO projects upwardly from the channel 11 for a short distance - approximately 38mm in the embodiment shown.
- the ceramic fibre door seal means used in accordance with the invention is a known material used at present for lining the interior of furnaces. In general it is in the form of a more or less densely packed arrangement of upstanding ceramic fibres on a flexible backing of for example a heat resistant cloth which may be cemented to the channel or directly or indirectly on a more or less rigid heat resistant substrate which may be conveniently bolted to the channel.
- This type of material is commercially available from Messrs. Clinotherm Ltd. of Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England and is made in various thicknesses e.g. from 40 to 125mm and various temperature grades e.g. heat resistant up to 1100°C and heat resistant up to 1500°C.
