Abstract
A catalyst delivering system for delivering catalytic material to a high temperature zone (20,44) of a combustion chamber (10, 41) in which oil, gas or other carbon fuel is burning.
Description
- Prior patents have suggested the continuous introduction of- catalytic material into combustion chambers along with air or fuel or mixtures of air and fuel (see U.S. Patents 2,460,700 to Lyons; 3,862,819 to Wentworth; 4,014,637 to Schena and 4,214,615 to Boyer and see British Patents Nos. 1,381,936 and 1,191,464).
- The catalytic introduction techniques suggested prior hereto have not provided satisfactory catalyzation in the combustion chamber.
- According to the present invention there is provided a system for delivery of a catalytic material to a combustion chamber having a high temperature flame zone therein characterised in that the system comprises:
- a) admixing said catalytic material with a fluid medium;
- b) introducing substantially all of said catalytic material as admixed into the flame zone.
- The present invention provides a system whereby the introduction of a cëtalytic material into a high temperature zone of the combustion chamber during combustion can be continuously metered. Catalytic material, which materials may include one or more platinum group metals, can be introduced directly into the high temperature zone of the chamber.
- It is a feature of the invention that the catalytic material is selected so that upon its entry into the high temperature zone of the chamber elemental platinum group metal or other catalyst is made available in a short period of time to the combustion process by decomposition or disassociation of material or otherwise.
- It is a further feature that the catalytic material may be conveyed to the high temperature zone by various vehicles such as air, fuel, steam or an emulsion.

- Fig. 6 is a plan view of the boiler of Fig. 5 with a smaller flame zone shown;
- Fig. 7(a)-(d) shows the temperature gradient along lines A-A, B-B, C-C and D-D of Figs. 5 and 6;

- Referring to Fig. 1,
rectilinear combustion unit 8 includes rectangular chamber opening 11 into which fuelinjector gun unit 12 is projected.Injector gun unit 12 includesfuel line 13 anddiffuser head 14. - Turning to Figs. 2 and 3,
combustion chamber 10 is shown surrounded byair manifold housing 16. The area between thechamber 10 andhousing 16 serves as anair manifold 17..Combustion air is forced byfan 18 along normalair intake duct 19 intomanifold 17 and frommanifold 17 air enters thecombustion chamber 10 through opening 11. - Catalytic materials used include dihydrogen platinum hexachloride and other platinum compounds which decompose at temperatures lower than the temperatures found in the high
temperature flame zone 20 of chamber 10 (see dotted line Fig. 2). Normally, 2600°F. to 3500°F. is the range of temperature found in the combustion chamber of a medium sized commercial steam generating boiler. Temperatures vary depending on the load placed on the chamber (See Figs. 7(a)-(dÐ. - Various techniques for introducing the catalytic material into
flame zone 20 are shown. Referring to Figs. 2 and 3, catalytic material may be conveyed directly, without mixture blending or union with any other material, throughcatalyst material line 21 tohead 14 from which discharge point the material is carried intoflame zone 20 by fuel, steam or other fluids flowing into thezone 20. Secondly, liquid catalytic material may be introduced intoauxiliary air line 22 using catalyticmaterial feed line 23 andnozzle 24. Catalytic air fed throughline 22 may be directed and used to atomize the fuel just prior to its entry into the flame zone. Thirdly, catalytic material can be introduced intosteam line 26 throughcatalytic supply line 27. - Fourthly, the catalytic material can be introduced into the fuel by mixing the material with the fuel by introducing it through
catalytic intake line 28 into feed fuel line 29. Alternatively, the catalytic material may be mixed with fuel inmixer 31, to form an emulsion of catalytic material and fuel may be heated byheater 32 and introduced throughfuel line 13 intozone 20. - Finally, turning to Fig. 3 catalytic material can be introduced into
air duct 19 vianozzle 31 fed bycatalytic material conduit 32. - With reference to Fig. 4, steam flowing in
steam line 26 divides to thereafter flow insteam ports 33. Fuel fromline 13 flows throughfuel feed slots 34. As the fuel enters thesteam lines 33, the fuel and steam mix, forming an emulsion. The fuel/steam mixture is atomized into small droplets upon exiting the nozzle. Because part of the steam forms an emulsion with the oil, atomized oil droplets contain small droplets of water. Exposure to the flame causes boiling of the water droplets which explode (microexplosions), shattering the oil droplets into many smaller droplets and vapors. Inclusion of catalyst with the steam thus affords a near optimal distribution of air/fuel/catalyst throughout the burning zone and, in particular, in thehigh temperature zone 20, causing rapid dissociation and, hence, activation of the precious metal atoms throughout the flame. An emulsion of fuel and steam may be formed at a remote location and, with added or included catalyst, the emulsion can then be transported to the site of thecombuston unit 8 for introduction into the chamber. - Air may be substituted for steam to atomize the oil in the fuel nozzle identical or similar to that of Fig. 14. The benefits of catalyst injection are identical except that of the emulsion are, of course, excluded, i.e., with air atomization, no emulsion occurs, whereas emulsion does occur with steam atomization. The application of the present invention to oil, gas and coal fired boilers requires selecting and controlling the point of introducion, direction of flow of the catalyst-carrying fluid introduced to meet the requirement that substantially all the catalyst admixed with the carrier fluid be introduced into the flame zone.
- Turning to Fig. 5, there is shown
boiler 40 which includes chamber 41,burner diffuser head 42,air intake manifold 43 andflame zone 44 shown in dashed lines. Tubesection 46 is heated by the flow of gases from, around and through theflame zone 44 toexhaust stack 47. The boiler of Fig. 5 is being fired at high load with low excess air creating aflame zone 44 which has a size and shape to substantially fill chamber 41 so that the normal intake of air entering the chamber 41 (see arrows 45) is introduced into theflame zone 44. Thus, catalyst material being supplied via normal intake air will be introduced into theflame zone 44. - In Fig. 6, the
same boiler 40 as shown in Fig. 5 is being operated at reduced load. Under these conditions, a substantial portion of the normal intake air carrying catalyst material will bypass flame zone (arrow 47). - A platinum catalyst was introduced into a commercial boiler combustion chamber fed by a steam-fuel diffuser by installing an auxiliary air lance which lance delivered catalyst containing air to the diffuser head. Substantially all of the catalyst was introduced into the high temperature flame zone. Alternatively, catalyst was introduced via the steam to the diffuser. The boiler was also run for periods of time without use of a catalyst.
- It was observed that boiler efficiency increased when the catalyst was used (See Fig. 8). It was also discovered that smoke and soot build-up and emissions were improved. The boiler was successfully run with low excess air ( 2.%0 1 10% excess air) without increasing soot or smoke emissions (see following Tables 1 and 2)).
-
- A portion of the improvement was due to the reduction in excess air afforded by the catalyst. This is also illustrated in Fig. 9, which includes over four months of data from operations preceding the catalyst tests. Additional illustration of the improvements in boiler efficiency and steam generation rate are given in Figures 10 and 11. At very high excess air (6%O2 Fig. 10) the effects of the reduction in flame temperatures and excessive stack gas losses dominate the steam generation rate and, hence, boiler efficiency.
- The amounts of catalytic material used are illustrated by the following use of platinum-containing catalytic material:
- Injection Rates: .035ghp solution=.035*.4 grams Pt/hour; thus, at 150gph oil or 1188.9 lbs/hour,
-
-
- Catalysts useful in the practice of the present invention include chloro platinic acid; (H2PtCl6.6H2O); platinum tetrachloride (PtCl4); ruthenium chloride (RuCl3:H20); ruthenium oxide (RuO2.H2O) ; palladium nitrate (PD(N0 3)2); palladium sulfate (PdSO4.2H2O) and rhodium nitrate (RH(NO3)3.2H2O). Magnesium oxide (MgO) and manganese oxide (MnO) may also be used.
- The catalyst introduction method selected for any particular combustion chamber including external and internal combustion systems depends on the combustion chamber design and the size and shape of the flame zone therein to be catalyzed.
