Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric arc plasma torch.
  • Plasma torches also called torches or plasma burners, are devices well known per se, used to produce a gas jet in the plasma state.
  • a plasma is an ionized gas which contains at least 10 15 charged corpuscles per cubic meter, and on average, very substantially as many electrons as positive ions.
  • the arc In plasma arc torches, the arc is spouted between two electrodes between which a gas flows. The gas particles are ionized by the high energy of the arc and the gas turns into a plasma.
  • Plasma electric arc torches can be further divided into two categories, depending on the type of cathode used, i.e. the hot cathode and the cold cathode.
  • Called hot cathode a cathode brought to a sufficiently high temperature so that, by thermionic effect, it emits a number of electrons ensuring practically the arc current. Due to the high level of temperature necessary to carry out an electronic emission corresponding to an arc current intensity sufficient to reach the desired power and temperature, namely approximately 3000 ° C., the number of materials which can be used to manufacture such a cathode is very limited. Currently, practically only tungsten or some of its fittings are used. As a result, hot cathode arc plasma torches can only work with gases that are chemically inert to tungsten, such as hydrogen, nitrogen and rare gases (argon, xenon, etc ).
  • the second type of plasma arc torch cold cathode torches
  • a copper cathode which is strongly cooled to prevent it from reaching the thermionic emission temperature.
  • aerodynamic or magnetic means are often used, or both simultaneously, to move the foot of the arc on the cathode at high speed, in order to limit the erosion of the latter.
  • Cold cathode torches allow almost all gases to be used.
  • the lifespan of these cathodes remains limited to a few hundred hours in the best cases currently known. These lifetimes are much shorter on the one hand, than those of hot cathodes, and on the other hand than those of anodes, which commonly reach one to a few thousand hours.
  • US Pat. No. 4,002,466 discloses a plasma torch which can be used for the reduction of metal oxides, in particular for the direct reduction of iron ores.
  • This torch of the prior art comprises a tungsten cathode and an anode, connected in a conventional manner respectively to the negative and positive terminals of an electric current source. Between the cathode and the anode is disposed an electrically insulated nozzle, intended in particular to stabilize the arc and to prevent the return of carbonaceous gas from the anode to the cathode.
  • a torch for working with an arc comprising a hot cathode, an anode and an intermediate electrode permanently connected to the terminals of an electric current source.
  • the intermediate electrode is the seat of a permanent electric arc, which adversely influences its lifespan.
  • the possibility of using two current sources is also suggested, but the second source is intended to energize the workpiece, and not the intermediate electrode as provided by the present invention.
  • the present invention relates to an arc plasma torch which combines the aforementioned advantages of hot and cold cathodes, without having the disadvantages, and which makes it possible to facilitate and improve the procedure for establishing the electric arc between the cathode. and the anode.
  • the plasma torch may include means for connecting said hot cathode and said intermediate electrode to the terminals of a high-frequency current source having a voltage greater than the disruptive voltage between the hot cathode and the intermediate electrode , as well as current cut-off means for disconnecting said high frequency current source.
  • the plasma torch comprises two chambers, separated by the ignition electrode and placed in communication with each other by an orifice formed in said ignition electrode, one of the two chambers, called cathode chamber, being equipped with the hot cathode (a) and means (d) for introducing an inert gas, and the other chamber, called the anode chamber, being formed in part by the anode (c) and being equipped with means (e) for introducing any plasma gas.
  • the means for introducing gas into at least one of said chambers are arranged so as to give the gas a movement, preferably helical in said chamber.
  • a particularly interesting variant of the present invention relates to a plasma torch allowing precisely the production of gaseous carbon from a solid fuel.
  • this plasma torch includes an ignition electrode disposed between a hot cathode and an anode; it is further characterized in that it has at least one fuel supply duct, which opens into the space between the ignition electrode and the anode, and preferably immediately upstream of the section d entrance to the anode chamber.
  • this duct is preferably parallel to the longitudinal axis of the plasma torch.
  • its outlet is oriented so that its axis intersects the longitudinal axis of the anode downstream from the upstream end of the anode.
  • the speed with which the fuel enters the anode chamber is adjusted so that it is not centrifuged by the plasma gas and that it does not obstruct the feed passages of the latter. This speed is adjusted as a function of the fuel and plasma gas flow rates. In no case, however, can the fuel speed be less than 5 m / s and that of the plasma gas 50 m / s.
  • the plasma torch has several fuel supply conduits, these are advantageously uniformly distributed around the longitudinal axis of the torch, so as to ensure a balanced supply of fuel.
  • the cathode (3) for example made of tungsten, is housed in a wall of the enclosure (1), preferably opposite the anode (2).
  • These two electrodes (2) and (3) are respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of a rectified direct current source.
  • the enclosure (1) is also provided with a passage (4) for introducing the plasma gas and the anode is pierced with an orifice allowing the plasma jet (5) to be ejected.
  • the cathode can be made of tungsten, that is to say “hot”; it then requires the use of a chemically inert gas with respect to this element. It can also be “cold”, that is to say in cooled copper, with the drawbacks mentioned above with regard to the resistance to wear by erosion.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plasma torch according to the invention, which does not have these drawbacks.
  • This torch consists of an open enclosure (1) made of insulating material, extended by a copper anode (2).
  • the whole is divided into two rooms (I) and (II) separated by an ignition electrode (6) disposed in the insulating enclosure, at a certain distance from the end of the latter.
  • the chamber (1) called the cathode chamber, is equipped with a hot cathode (3) and provided with an orifice (8) for introducing a gas which is chemically inert with respect to tungsten.
  • the chamber (II) or anode chamber is provided with at least one passage (4) for introducing the plasma gas, which can be any gas.
  • This passage (4) is preferably formed in the part of the chamber (11) made of insulating material; it is oriented so as to give the gas a helical movement in the anode chamber.
  • the ignition electrode is surrounded by at least one channel, preferably central (7), allowing the two chambers (I) and (II) to communicate; this channel is advantageously profiled in the form of a divergence.
  • the distance between the cathode (3) and the ignition electrode (6) is adjustable and between 0 and 5 mm, the distance 0 corresponding to the contact of the cathode with the ignition electrode. The adjustment of this distance is preferably carried out by displacement of the cathode (3) along its longitudinal axis, for example by means of a screw device.
  • the anode (2) is connected to the positive pole of a first, so-called main, current source; the ignition electrode (6) is connected simultaneously to the positive pole of the main current source and to the positive pole of a second current source, called ignition, of lower power.
  • the power of this source is at least 5 kW and is preferably around 10 kW; its no-load voltage depends on the nature of the cathode gas. For example, it is at least 50 V for argon, 100 V for nitrogen and 200 V for hydrogen.
  • the cathode (3) is connected simultaneously to the negative poles of these two sources of current, main and ignition.
  • a third source of very low power (at least 50 W), high voltage and high frequency, is connected between the cathode and the ignition electrode.
  • the voltage of this third source is greater than the disruptive voltage between the cathode and the ignition electrode (4 kV) and its frequency is produced by an oscillating discharge from an oscillating circuit or by a Tesla transformer.
  • the plasma torch of the invention operates as follows. We open the arrival of cathode gas and plasma gas. The second and third current sources are switched on simultaneously. Switching on the third current source breaks the resistance of the gas flowing between the cathode (3) and the ignition electrode (6), allowing the establishment of a sufficiently high ignition current (100 400 A ) between the cathode and the ignition electrode. This ignition current gives rise to a jet of low power plasma which gushes into the anode chamber through the channel (7) of the ignition electrode (6). As soon as this plasma jet is established, the third current source is disconnected. We connect the main current source. Thanks to the plasma jet previously established, an electric current from this main source flows between the cathode (3) and the anode (2). The ignition current source is then disconnected, so that only the main current source remains in circuit.
  • the plasma torch illustrated in FIG. 3 is, in principle, in accordance with the diagram in FIG. 2 and the corresponding parts are designated by the same numerical references.
  • the description relating to FIG. 2 is also applicable to the torch of FIG. 3 and it is therefore not necessary to repeat it.
  • the torch of FIG. 3 has several additional characteristics which it is interesting to specify.
  • the hot cathode (3) has a pointed head, so as to allow easy lighting of the plasma torch.
  • the cathode (3) is furthermore provided with a cooling duct (9) supplied with water in (10).
  • the copper ignition electrode (6) is also cooled by water, by a circuit which can be put in series with that of the cathode; the cooling water is discharged through the outlet (II).
  • the downstream end of the ignition electrode (6) carries a crown in which are formed several passages (4) in the form of conduits or channels, for the introduction of the plasma gas. These passages (4) are uniformly distributed in the crown, their outlet orifices, in the inner surface of the crown, are arranged very close to each other, and are preferably contiguous, so that the plasma gas forms a continuous jet over the entire inner periphery of the crown.
  • passages (4) are also oriented substantially tangentially to the inner surface of the crown, so that the outgoing plasma gas is driven in a helical movement in the anode chamber (II).
  • the speed of the plasma gas must be at least 50 m / s at the entrance to the anode chamber.
  • the anode (2) is provided with a spiral peripheral cooling circuit, consisting of helical fins (12) capped by a tube (13); the cooling water arrives at (14) and is discharged at (15).
  • the material of this ring is of current quality; it is for example made up of asbestos, silica, alumina or boron nitride.
  • This ring is applied to the downstream end face of the ignition electrode (6), and, if necessary, it closes the channels (4) hollowed out in this face.
  • the ring (16) is supported in a shoulder provided in the enclosure (1) and it constitutes the bearing surface of the inlet section of the anode (2).
  • the inside diameter of the ring (16) is at least equal to that of the anode (2), and preferably equal to the inside diameter of the anode + 10 mm.
  • a pipe (17) for supplying fuel, for example fine coal transported by a gas under pressure Through the body of the plasma torch is formed a pipe (17) for supplying fuel, for example fine coal transported by a gas under pressure.
  • the outlet section (18) of this conduit passes through the ignition electrode (6) and opens out inside the ring (16).
  • the outlet axis of this section (18) the longitudinal axis of the anode (2) at an angle of about 45 °.
  • this torch functions in the same way as that of FIG. 2.
  • a cathode gas inert with respect to tungsten for example, is introduced by (8) into the cathode chamber (1). nitrogen, hydrogen, rare gases or a mixture of these gases.
  • the plasma gas is introduced at the entrance of the anode chamber (II), through the passages (4) formed in the crown of the ignition electrode (6).
  • the fine carbon is introduced in (19) into the conduit (17, 18) and it is injected into the anode chamber (II) in which it passes into the vapor state under the effect of the high temperature, higher than 3500 ° C, prevailing in the plasma jet.
  • fine charcoal is preferably used, of the so-called "boiler” quality, that is to say having about 70% of the grains less than 74 ⁇ m .
  • the carbon-carrying gas is preferably air, possibly enriched in nitrogen for well-known explosion safety reasons.
  • the injected carbon does not accumulate and does not obstruct the torch, it is almost completely sublimed and it is thus in the form of carbon gas which, injected for example in a blast furnace, reacts very quickly with minerals oxidized and with oxygen from the hot wind.
  • the power of the plasma torches of the invention can be adjusted in three different ways.
  • a first means consists in using cathode gases of a different nature. Thus, all other things being equal, the replacement of argon by nitrogen increases the power by about 20%.
  • the power is indeed substantially proportional to the intensity of the arc current.
