Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrostatic dust separator for horizontal gas passage, in which vertical plate-shaped precipitation electrodes are arranged in equidistant intervals parallel to the main axis of the housing in a cylindrical, pressure-resistant housing, which extend according to the respective chord length substantially over the entire available height, and in which spray electrodes which are clamped in the frame between the precipitation electrodes are provided, and scraping devices which can be pivoted about the housing axis via the lower region of the housing wall provided with dust discharge openings.
  • Such a dust collector is known from DE-PS 19 00 526.
  • it largely fulfills the requirement for the fullest possible use of the available flow cross-section and for the avoidance of flow-free spaces with regard to an explosion risk with alternating exposure to combustible and non-combustible gases. Nevertheless, malfunctions due to deflagrations and light gas explosions occasionally occurred, the causes of which could not be identified at first.
  • Dust collectors of this type are used for the dry dedusting of industrial useful and exhaust gases, especially if it is a permanently or temporarily explosive gas mixture.
  • top gases from blast furnaces that work with an overpressure of 1.5 to 2.5 bar are dedusted in this way so that they can be recovered in turbines without the risk of erosion to be able to relax to 40 to 80 mbar, whereby the dust content must first be reduced to 5 to 20 mg / m3.
  • electrostatic filters with a pressure loss of 1 to 2 mbar are considered, because in the separation capacity equivalent high-performance washers have a pressure loss of 200 to 400 mbar.
  • the dedusting of exhaust gases from steel converters is also particularly critical because, due to the discontinuous mode of operation, flammable gases alternate and the ambient air is only slightly mixed with dust and gases. After dedusting, the flammable gases are collected in containers or fed into gas supply systems, while the gases occurring intermittently outside the actual blowing phases of the converter are released into the atmosphere via a chimney after dedusting.
  • a switchover device downstream of the dust separator is used for this purpose, which is controlled in time or as a function of the gas composition.
  • This switchover device, the converter and also deflagrations upstream from the dust separator can initiate pressure surges in the gas flow, through which dust accumulations in the dust separator or in the upstream duct system can be detached and swirled in the gas flow.
  • Such "dust bursts" on the one hand impair the separation performance of the dust separator and on the other hand are associated with an increased risk of deflagration.
  • Deflagrations can also be triggered in dust separators for converter exhaust gases if, at critical moments, false air intakes occur or if pressure surges reactivate parts of the flow system that were previously dead due to the unfavorable design and in which gas volumes of an undefined composition had accumulated. It is obvious that all the precautions are taken to ensure the safe separation of the different gas qualities flowing through the dust separator in alternation.
  • the inlet connector has one or more spring-loaded pressure relief flaps.
  • a particularly favorable gas flow and gas distribution is achieved in the dust separator according to the invention if the smaller diameters d of the conical sections of the inlet or outlet nozzle relate to the diameter D of the housing, such as: 0.24 D ⁇ d3 ⁇ 0.36 D (preferably 0.3 D) 0.36 D ⁇ d2 ⁇ 0.48 D (preferably 0.42 D) 0.90 D ⁇ d1 ⁇ 0.95 D (preferably 0.925 D) and if the heights h of the conical sections of the inlet and outlet connections relate to the diameter D of the housing, such as: 0.075 D ⁇ h3 ⁇ 0.15 D (preferably 0.15 D) 0.120 D ⁇ h2 0.200 D (preferably 0.160 D) 0.045 D ⁇ h1 ⁇ 0.075 D (preferably 0.060 D)
  • the gas distribution perforated plate which is arranged in the plane of the diameter d2, advantageously has a cross section of 52 to 60%, preferably 56%, while the other two gas distribution perforated plates should have a free cross section of 54 to 62%, preferably 58%. Furthermore, it is provided that a closed dust collecting duct with a mechanical conveying device and with transverse webs is arranged under the dust discharge openings, through which the dust discharge openings are sealed off from one another on the gas side. Finally is provided that to compensate for pressure surges, the gas distribution perforated plates have movably suspended sections which can swing up against the gas flow direction.
  • the electrostatic dust separator for horizontal gas passage according to FIG. 1 has a cylindrical, pressure-resistant housing (l) which rests on the foundation via supports (l9).
  • vertical plate-shaped precipitation electrodes (2) are arranged at equidistant intervals parallel to the main axis of the housing (l), which correspond to the respective chord length extend substantially over the entire available height.
  • Spray electrodes (3) tensioned in frames (15) are provided between the precipitation electrodes (2).
  • the electrostatic dust separator has scraper devices (6) which can be pivoted about the housing axis via the lower region of the housing wall (5) provided with dust discharge openings (4).
  • the cylindrical housing (l) is connected to an inlet connection (7) which in three conical sections (a, b, c) widens from the cross section of the gas supply line to the at least 10 times larger cross section of the cylindrical housing (l) and in its middle conical section (b) has three gas distribution perforated plates (8a to 8c).
  • an outlet connection (9) is provided, which narrows in three conical sections (c, b, a) from the cross section of the cylindrical housing (l) to the cross section of the gas discharge line of at most l / l0 thereof.
  • a pressure relief flap (l0) is provided on the inlet connection (7).
  • a closed dust collecting duct (ll) with a mechanical conveyor (l2) and with transverse webs (l3) through which the dust discharge openings (4) are sealed off from one another on the gas side (see also FIG. 3).
  • the spray electrodes (3) are clamped in frames (l5), which in turn are mounted in the housing (l) via support devices (l7) and insulators (l6).
  • the scraper device (6) is rotatably mounted in transverse webs (18). Circular ribs (20) are also provided to stiffen the housing (l).
  • the spray electrodes (3) While the earthed precipitation electrodes (2) are suspended directly in the housing (l), the spray electrodes (3), which are connected to high voltage and are clamped in frames, are removed via support devices (l7) and insulators (l6).
  • the housing (l) reinforced by ribs (20) in turn rests on the foundations via the supports (l9).
  • the dust discharge openings (4) can be clearly seen, which are arranged in the lower part of the housing (l), which together with the inlet and outlet nozzle (7,9) determines the outer contour of the electrostatic dust separator.
  • the conveying device (l2) arranged in the dust collecting duct (II) is shown in simplified form. It consists essentially of an endless chain (22), to which scrapers (2l) extending transversely to the conveying direction are attached. The chain is mounted on laterally arranged webs (23) and is moved by means of a drive, not shown.
  • the dust emerging down through the dust discharge openings (4) is conveyed to the right by means of the scrapers (2l) attached to the chain (22) and ultimately discharged from the dust collection duct (not shown).
  • the scrapers (2l) attached to the chain (22) and ultimately discharged from the dust collection duct (not shown).
  • the gas distribution plate (8) according to Figure 4 has a number of sections (l4) which are suspended in such a manner that they are held in a vertical position by the normal gas flow against stops, but in the event of a sudden pressure increase in the electrostatic dust separator Can level off the gas flow direction and thus ensure a rapid reduction in pressure (see side view).
  • FIG. 6 the dust separator with housing (1), inlet and outlet connection (7, 9) is again shown in simplified form in order to illustrate the gradation of the diameter d and the height h of the individual conical parts, which is important according to the invention. It can be seen from this that the inlet and outlet connections (7, 9) can be designed essentially in the same way within the scope of the conditions specified in claims 4 and 5.
  • FIG. 7 again shows how the gas distribution perforated plates (8a to 8c) are arranged in the middle section (b) of the inlet connector. Thereafter, the gas distribution perforated plates (8a and 8c) are each arranged approximately in the smallest and largest diameter of this section (b), while the gas distribution perforated plate (8b) lies exactly between them, so that there are equally large gaps between the gas distribution perforated plates in the gas flow direction.
