Abstract

Selfsupporting mastlike corona discharge electrodes are proposed for use in a dustcollecting electrostatic precipitator having gas passage-forming platelike collecting electrodes. From a metal strip which has the same width everywhere the corona discharge electrode can be manufactured continuously in any desired length and virtually without a waste of material. By cutting and bending operations the metal strip is formed to constitute a selfsupporting corona discharge electrode which has an adequate flexural stiffness and is provided with the required corona discharge tips.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine selbsttragende, mastartige Sprühelektrode für elektrostatische Staubabscheider mit plattenförmigen, Gasgassen bildenden Niederschlagselektroden.The invention relates to a self-supporting, mast-like spray electrode for electrostatic dust separators with plate-shaped, gas lanes forming precipitation electrodes.

Sprühelektroden und Niederschlagselektroden sind die wichtigsten Bauteile eines elektrostatischen Staubabscheiders. Sie sind in Formgebung und Anordnung aufeinander abgestimmt. In den meisten Fällen sind die Niederschlagselektroden geerdet, während die Sprühelektroden mit einer Hochspannungsquelle verbunden sind. Die abzuscheidenden Staubteilchen werden durch Elektronen, die von den Sprühelektroden abgegeben werden, ionisiert und in dem zwischen Sprühelektroden und Niederschlagselektroden bestehenden elektrostatischen Feld aus der Gasströmung abgelenkt und schließlich auf den Niederschlagselektroden abgeschieden. In bestimmten zeitlichen Abständen werden vor allem die Niederschlagselektroden, aber auch die Sprühelektroden durch Klopfschläge erschüttert, wodurch der abgesetzte Staub abgelöst wird und nach unten in Staubsammelbunker abfällt. Die Wirksamkeit eines elektrostatischen Staubabscheiders hängt davon ab, wie gut die Sprühelektroden und Niederschlagselektroden auf ihre verschiedenen Punktionen hin abgestimmt sind.Spray electrodes and precipitation electrodes are the most important components of an electrostatic dust collector. They are coordinated in shape and arrangement. In most cases, the precipitation electrodes are grounded while the spray electrodes are connected to a high voltage source. The dust particles to be separated are ionized by electrons emitted by the spray electrodes and deflected from the gas flow in the electrostatic field existing between spray electrodes and precipitation electrodes and finally deposited on the precipitation electrodes. At certain intervals, the precipitation electrodes in particular, but also the spray electrodes, are shaken by knocking, whereby the deposited dust is released and falls down into the dust collection bunker. The effectiveness of an electrostatic dust collector depends on how well the spray electrodes and precipitation electrodes are matched to their different punctures.

Sprühelektroden bestehen vielfach aus mit Spitzen besetzten Drähten oder Bändern, die in einen Rahmen eingespannt sind. Zugehörige Niederschlagselektroden sind aus profilierten Blechstreifen zu Gasgassen bildenden Wänden zusammengesetzt. Sprühelektroden sind mittig in den Gasgassen angeordnet und mit ihren Spitzen so ausgerichtet, daß ein für die Staubabscheidung optimales Feld gebildet wird (vgl. DE-OS 3408839).Spray electrodes often consist of wires or tapes studded with points that are clamped in a frame. Associated precipitation electrodes are composed of profiled sheet metal strips to form walls of gas passages. Spray electrodes are arranged in the center of the gas lanes and aligned with their tips so that an optimal field for dust separation is formed (cf. DE-OS 3408839).

Bei den in Rahmen eingespannten Sprühelektroden muß die Herstellung sehr sorgfältig ausgeführt werden, damit alle Bänder oder Drähte gleichmäßig gespannt sind. Zu geringe Spannung führt unter dem Einfluß des vorbeiströmenden Gases und der elektrischen Feldkräfte zu unkontrollierten Schwingungen und bei einer Verringerung des Abstandes zu den Niederschlagselektroden schließlich zu ungewollten Überschlägen. Bei zu hoher Spannung können die Bänder oder Drähte unter dem zusätzlichen Einfluß der Klopfschläge abreißen, wodurch die Abscheideleistung herabgesetzt wird und kostspielige Stillstandszeiten, insbesondere bei Kraftwerken, erzwungen werden. Es sind daher schon spezielle Werkzeuge zurgleichmäßigen Spannung der Elektroden vorgeschlagen worden (DE-OS 2603514).With the spray electrodes clamped in the frame, the production must be carried out very carefully so that all strips or wires are evenly tensioned. Too little voltage leads to uncontrolled vibrations under the influence of the gas flowing past and the electrical field forces and, if the distance to the precipitation electrodes is reduced, leads to undesired flashovers. If the tension is too high, the tapes or wires can tear under the additional influence of the knocking, which reduces the separation efficiency and forces costly downtimes, particularly in power plants. Special tools for uniform voltage of the electrodes have therefore already been proposed (DE-OS 2603514).

Die Sprühelektroden mit in Rahmen gespannten Drähten sind nur bis zu bestimmten Baugrößen in der Werkstatt herstellbar. Grenzen werden durch die zulässigen Abmessungen beim Transport gesetzt. Insbesondere bei Kraftwerken geht aber die Tendenz zu immer größeren Baueinheiten, mit entsprechenden Auswirkungen auf die elektrostatischen Staubabscheider. Für einen Kraftwerksblockvon 740 MW sind beispielsweise zwei elektrostatische Staubabscheider erforderlich, jeder mit einer Länge von rund 33 m, einer Breite von 37 m und einer Höhe von 23 m. Jeder Abscheider weist eine projezierte Niederschlagselektrodenfläche von rund 70.000 m2 und eine Gesamtlänge der Sprühelektroden von etwa 220 km auf (Z., "Technische Mitteilungen" (1978), Heft 3, Seiten 123 bis 131).The spray electrodes with wires stretched in frames can only be manufactured up to certain sizes in the workshop. Limits are set by the permissible dimensions during transport. In power plants in particular, however, there is a tendency towards ever larger units, with corresponding effects on the electrostatic dust separators. For example, a 740 MW power plant block requires two electrostatic dust collectors, each approximately 33 m long, 37 m wide and 23 m high. Each separator has a projected precipitation electrode area of around 70,000 m 2 and a total length of the spray electrodes of around 220 km (Z., "Technische Mitteilungen" (1978), number 3, pages 123 to 131).

Es ist ohne weiteres verständlich, daß man bei bis zu 15 m hohen Niederschlagselektroden nicht mehr einteilige Spannrahmen vorsehen kann. Aber selbst 7,5 m hohe und in Gasströmungsrichtung etwa 6 m breite Rahmen sind nicht mehr zu transportieren. Werden sie auf der Baustelle hergestellt, ist ein erheblicher Aufwand zur Einhaltung der zwangsläufig sehr engen Fertigungstoleranzen erforderlich. Davon abgesehen, sind solche groden Rahmen aber auch schwierig zu handhaben.It is readily understandable that one can no longer provide one-piece clamping frames with precipitation electrodes up to 15 m high. But even frames 7.5 m high and about 6 m wide in the direction of gas flow can no longer be transported. If they are manufactured on site, considerable effort is required to comply with the inevitably very tight manufacturing tolerances. Apart from that, such large frames are also difficult to handle.

Schließlich besteht bei manchen Betreibem von elektrostatischen Staubabscheidem eine Abneigung gegen Sprühelektroden mit in Rahmen gespannten Drähten, die zwar verhältnismäßig rasch montiert und ausgerichtet werden können, die aber eine Reparatur einzelner Drähte nicht gestatten. Es muß jeweils der gesamte Rahmen ausgebaut werden und nach dem Einziehen eines neuen Drahtes müssen wieder alle Drähte nachgespannt, zumindest auf gleichmaßige Spannung geprüft werden.Finally, some operators of electrostatic dust separators dislike spray electrodes with wires stretched in frames, which can be installed and aligned relatively quickly, but which do not allow the repair of individual wires. The entire frame must be removed in each case and after pulling in a new wire, all wires must be re-tensioned, at least checked for uniform tension.

Auf der anderen Seite sind auch schon Sprühelektroden bekanntgeworden, die aus verhältnismäßig starren Bauteilen, wie profilierten Platten, Masten oder dergleichen, bestehen (z.B. US-PS 3435594, US-PS 4321068). In diesen Fällen ist die konstruktive Gestaltung der Sprühelektroden maßgebend für die Ausbildung der Niederschlagselektroden, d.h. die Niederschlagselektroden werden an die Sprühelektroden angepaßt und nicht umgekehrt, wie bei den in Rahmen gespannten Drähten. Dies muß kein Nachteil sein. Wenn aber für eine Konzeption mit in Rahmen gespannten Drähten Niederschlagselektroden mit einer optimalen Profilform entwickelt worden sind, so möchte man diese selbstverständlich auch dann einsetzen, wenn die Sprühelektroden mit in Rahmen gespannten Drähten nicht in Betracht kommen.On the other hand, spray electrodes have also become known which consist of relatively rigid components, such as profiled plates, masts or the like (e.g. US Pat. No. 3,435,594, US Pat. No. 4,321,068). In these cases, the design of the spray electrodes is decisive for the formation of the precipitation electrodes, i.e. the precipitation electrodes are adapted to the spray electrodes and not vice versa, as with the wires stretched in frames. This does not have to be a disadvantage. If, however, precipitation electrodes with an optimal profile shape have been developed for a concept with wires stretched in frames, one would of course also want to use them if the spray electrodes with wires stretched in frames are out of the question.

Es besteht somit die Aufgabe, eine Konzeption für die Sprühelektroden vorzuschlagen, bei der keine in Rahmen gespannten Drähte oder Bänder vorkom- men, jedoch ohne daß ein vorgegebenes System von Niederschlagselektroden geändert werden muß.Thus, there is the problem of proposing a design for the discharge electrodes at which no frame in the tensioned wires or tapes without, however, that a given system must be changed by precipitation electrodes before k om- men.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird eine Sprühelektrode vorgeschlagen, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß sie

  • a) aus einem Blechstreifen von durchgehend gleicher Breite besteht, der
  • b) zu einem etwa ellipsenförmigen Rohrquerschnitt geformt ist und dessen Längskanten überlappend miteinander verbunden sind, wobei
  • c) aus dem Rohrquerschnitt etwa dreiecksförmige Laschen derart abgebogen sind, daß sie
  • d) an beiden Seiten des elliptischen Rohrquerschnitts in Verlängerung von dessen Hauptachse nach außen weisende Fahnen bilden, deren
  • e) am weitesten außen liegende Teile in der Höhe alternierend angeordnete Sprühspitzen darstellen.
To solve this problem, a spray electrode is proposed, which is characterized in that it
  • a) from a continuous sheet of metal the same width exists
  • b) is shaped into an approximately elliptical tube cross section and its longitudinal edges are connected to one another in an overlapping manner, wherein
  • c) from the tube cross section approximately triangular tabs are bent such that they
  • d) form on both sides of the elliptical tube cross section in an extension of its main axis outward-pointing flags whose
  • e) represent outermost parts of the spray tips arranged alternately in height.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Sprühelektrode finden sich in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 7.Further details and configurations of the spray electrode according to the invention can be found in claims 2 to 7.

Die Sprühelektrode zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß sie praktisch ohne Materialabfall aus einem Blechstreifen gefertigt werden kann, der durch die erfindungsgemäße Formgebung die für derartige Sprühelektroden erforderliche Steifigkeit erhält und wegen der einstückigen Ausbildung zwischen den tragenden Teilen und den Sprühspitzen keine Verbindungsstellen erfordert, die erfahrungsgemäß bei mehrteiligen Sprühelektroden die Ursache für hohe elektrische Übergangswiderstände und erhöhte Korrosionsgefahr sind.The spray electrode is characterized by the fact that it can be produced practically without material waste from a sheet metal strip, which is given the rigidity required for such spray electrodes by the shape according to the invention and, because of the one-piece design between the supporting parts and the spray tips, does not require any connection points, which experience has shown in multi-part spray electrodes are the cause of high electrical contact resistance and increased risk of corrosion.

Das gilt nicht für die mehrteilig ausgebildeten Sprühelectroden gemäß US-PS 4521229, die aus einem Rohr mit elliptischem Querschnitt und aufgesetzten Drahtabschnitten bestehen. Sie sind zwischen den Niederschlagselektroden so angeordnet, daß die Drahtabschnitte parallel zur Gasströmungsrichtung und den Niederschlagselektroden von den Rohren abstehen und daß die Hauptachse des elliptischen Querschnitts senkrecht zur Gasströmungsrichtung und den Niederschlagselektroden verläuft. Durch diese Anordnung wird erreicht, daß die Sprühelektroden senkrecht zu den Niederschlagselektroden eine höhere Biegesteifigkeit aufweisen als parallel zu den Niederschlagselektroden und daß der Abstand zwischen den Sprühelektroden und den Niederschlagselektroden während des Betriebs in den geforderten engen Grenzen konstant gehalten werden kann. Diese Anordnung bedingt aber auch eine verhältnismäßig starke Einschnürung des Gasströmungsquerschnitts im Bereich der Sprühelektroden. Erfahrungen haben gezeigt, daß solche Sprühelektroden, angeregt durch den Gasstrom, zu Schwingungen senkrecht zur Hauptachse des elliptischen Querschnitts neigen. Daraus resultieren Wechselbeanspruchungen, die im Resonanzfall nicht nur zum Abbrechen der Drahtabschnitte, sondern auch zur Beschädigung der Sprühelektroden an den oberen und unteren Befestigungen führen können. Die bekannten Sprühelektroden sind auch nur in Verbindung mit glatten Niederschlagselektroden anwendbar, weil alle Sprühspitzen den gleichen Abstand von den Niederschlagselektroden aufweisen. Für Niederschlagselektroden, die zur Optimierung des elektrostatischen Abscheidefeldes und zur Versteifung einen profilierten Querschnitt - beispielsweise gestreckt W-förmig (DE-OS 3408839) - aufweisen, sind sie nicht geeignet.This does not apply to the multi-part spray electrodes according to US-PS 4521229, which consist of a tube with an elliptical cross section and attached wire sections. They are arranged between the precipitation electrodes so that the wire sections project parallel to the gas flow direction and the precipitation electrodes from the tubes and that the main axis of the elliptical cross section runs perpendicular to the gas flow direction and the precipitation electrodes. This arrangement ensures that the spray electrodes perpendicular to the precipitation electrodes have a higher bending stiffness than parallel to the precipitation electrodes and that the distance between the spray electrodes and the precipitation electrodes can be kept constant during operation within the required narrow limits. However, this arrangement also requires a relatively strong constriction of the gas flow cross section in the area of the spray electrodes. Experience has shown that such spray electrodes, excited by the gas flow, tend to vibrate perpendicular to the main axis of the elliptical cross section. This results in alternating stresses, which in the event of resonance can lead not only to the wire sections breaking off but also to the spray electrodes being damaged on the upper and lower fastenings. The known spray electrodes can also only be used in conjunction with smooth precipitation electrodes because all spray tips are at the same distance from the precipitation electrodes. They are not suitable for precipitation electrodes which have a profiled cross section for optimizing the electrostatic deposition field and for stiffening - for example stretched W-shaped (DE-OS 3408839).

Weitere Einzelheiten werden anhand des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. (Die ursprüngliche Fig. 2 ist ausgeschieden).Further details are explained in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. (The original Fig. 2 is eliminated).

The spray electrode is made from a sheet metal strip (1) of constant width, in that the sheet metal strip (1) has been formed into an approximately elliptical tube cross section (2).

These outward-facing flags (6) are cut in the middle and their outermost parts are bent in opposite directions by about 70 ° to form two spray tips (7al7b, 8a / 8b). The length ratio of the main axis (H) to the minor axis (N) of the elliptical tube cross section (2) is expediently in the range 2.4 to 2.7 to 1. The length of the flag (6) is 85 to 90% of the length of the stretched state Main axis (H) of the elliptical tube cross section (2). It is also provided that the greatest distance (A) between the oppositely bent spray tips (8a and 8b) is 30 to 90% of the length of the main axis (H) of the pipe cross section (2).
