Abstract

The device serves for removing residues deposited on an inner wall (7) of a pipe carrying hot gases and/or vapours. This device has a scraping device, which can be activated by means of an axially extended shaft (13), and at least one discharge orifice (16) for the removed residues. <??>The intention is to provide a device, from which residues can be removed using simple means from regions subject to temperatures of over 1300 DEG C. This is achieved in that the scraping device has at least one metal part (15) wound in a helical shape in the axial direction and connected to the shaft (13). In this arrangement the shaft (13) is of axially displaceable design. The shaft (13) is driven in such a way that the metal part (15) can be screwed into the pipe in a corkscrew-like manner.

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Rohrkratzvorrichtung für die während des Betriebs erfolgende Entfernung von an der Innenwand eines heisse Gase und/oder Dämpfe führenden Rohres abgelagerten Rückständen, mit mindestens einer durch eine axial erstreckte Welle betätigbaren Kratzvorrichtung, mit einer Durchführung für die axial erstreckte Welle und mit mindestens einer Austragsöffnung für die entfernten Rückstände.The invention relates to a pipe scraping device for the removal of residues deposited on the inner wall of a hot gas and / or vapor leading pipe during operation, with at least one scraping device which can be actuated by an axially extended shaft, with a bushing for the axially extended shaft and with at least one discharge opening for the removed residues.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus einer Zeitschrift (Chem.-Ing.-Techn., Bd. 54, 1982, Seite 382, Abb. 4) ist eine gattungsgemässe Vorrichtung bekannt. Diese Vorrichtung weist eine angetriebene Welle auf, welche verschiedene axial erstreckte Kratzvorrichtungen trägt. Diese Kratzvorrichtungen schaben, wenn sie radial bewegt werden, an der Innenwand sich ablagernde Rückstände ab. Sowohl die zentrale Welle als auch die Kratzvorrichtungen verbleiben stationär im Innenraum der Vorrichtung und werden dauernd von den durch diesen Innenraum strömenden heissen Gasen und/oder Dämpfen beaufschlagt. Diese Vorrichtung kann deshalb nur in einem Temperaturbereich bis wenige 100 °C eingesetzt werden, da bei höheren Temperaturen die Kratzvorrichtungen abschmelzen würden und deshalb ihre Funktion nicht mehr erfüllen könnten. Der Einsatz von temperaturbeständigeren Materialien für die Kratzvorrichtungen, z.B. Keramik, um eine höhere Betriebstemperatur zu erreichen, ist nicht sinnvoll, da diese mechanisch zuwenig belastbar und auch sehr schwierig und teuer zu bearbeiten sind.A generic device is known from a magazine (Chem.-Ing.-Techn., Vol. 54, 1982, page 382, Fig. 4).

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, eine Rohrkratzvorrichtung zu schaffen, mit welcher mit einfachen Mitteln Rückstände aus mit Temperaturen über 1300 °C beaufschlagten Bereichen entfernt werden können.The invention seeks to remedy this. The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a pipe scraping device with which residues can be removed from areas exposed to temperatures above 1300 ° C. with simple means.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass bekannte Werkstoffe, z.B. Stahl, die vergleichsweise einfach zu bearbeiten sind, eingesetzt werden können. Die Kratzvorrichtung wird periodisch und jeweils nur so Lange im Bereich hoher Temperaturen eingesetzt, dass sie sich nicht nennenswert aufwärmen und damit auch ihre mechanische Festigkeit nicht verlieren kann. Der Temperaturbereich, in welchem diese Vorrichtung arbeitet, kann so mit einfachen Mitteln auf über 1300 °C gesteigert werden.The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that known materials, e.g. Steel that is comparatively easy to machine can be used. The scratching device is used periodically and only for such a long time in the area of high temperatures that it does not warm up appreciably and thus cannot lose its mechanical strength. The temperature range in which this device operates can thus be increased to over 1300 ° C. with simple means.

Die weiteren Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstände der abhängigen Ansprüche.The further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung, ihre Weiterbildung und die damit erzielbaren Vorteile werden nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung, welche lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellt, näher erläutert.The invention, its further development and the advantages which can be achieved thereby are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, which only represents one embodiment.

Kurze Beschreibung der ZeichnungBrief description of the drawing

Die einzige Figur zeigt eine Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung.The single figure shows an embodiment of a device according to the invention.

Wege zur Ausführung der ErfindungWays of Carrying Out the Invention

In der einzigen Figur ist eine erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung dargestellt. Ein Kühler 2 aus Keramik mit einem zylindrischen Innenraum 3 und in die Wandung eingebetteten Kühlrohren 4 ist an eine Oeffnung in der Aussenwand 5 eines Ofens angeflanscht. Ein Pfeil 6 deutet die Strömungsrichtung heisser Gase und/oder Dämpfe an, die aus dem Ofen austreten und die im Kühler 2 abgekühlt werden. Bei diesem Abkühlvorgang kondensieren bzw. desublimieren Anteile der heissen Gase und/oder Dämpfe und setzen sich an der Innenwand 7 des Kühlers 2 ab. Das abgekühlte Gas verlässt den Kühler 2, wie durch einen Pfeil 8 angedeutet durch einen angeflanschten Stutzen 9. Auf der dem Ofen abgewandten Seite des Kühlers 2 ist in dessen axialer Verlängerung ein zylindrischer Hohlraum 10 vorgesehen, der den gleichen Durchmesser aufweist wie der Kühler 2 und der durch eine Stirnwand 11 abgeschlossen ist. Die Wände dieses Hohlraumes 10 sind beispielsweise aus Stahl gefertigt, eine Keramikauskleidung ist hier wegen der niedrigeren Temperaturen nicht nötig. Im Zentrum dieser Stirnwand 11 ist eine Durchführung 12 für eine drehbare, axial erstreckte Welle 13 angebracht, welche gleichzeitig diese Welle 13 führt. An der Spitze 14 dieser axial erstreckten Welle 13 ist ein Metallteil 15 angebracht, welches in axialer Richtung schraubenförmig gewunden ist und beispielsweise ca. 1 1/2-Windungen aufweist. Dieses formstabile Metallteil 15 bildet die eigentliche Kratzvorrichtung dieser Vorrichtung. Zwischen der in Ruhestellung abgebildeten Kratzvorrichtung und dem mit Kühlrohren 4 versehenen Teil des Kühlers 2 ist unten an der tiefsten Stelle eine Austragsöffnung 16 vorgesehen, an welche ein Auffangbehälter 17 angeflanscht ist. Beim Wechseln des Auffangsbehälters 17 kann die Austragsöffnung 16 mittels eines Schiebers 18 verschlossen werden, der hier lediglich angedeutet ist.A device according to the invention is shown in the single figure. A cooler 2 made of ceramic with a cylindrical interior 3 and cooling tubes 4 embedded in the wall is flanged to an opening in the outer wall 5 of a furnace. An arrow 6 indicates the direction of flow of hot gases and / or vapors which emerge from the furnace and which are cooled in the cooler 2. During this cooling process, portions of the hot gases and / or vapors condense or desublimate and settle on the inner wall 7 of the cooler 2. The cooled gas leaves the cooler 2, as indicated by an arrow 8, through a flanged connection piece 9. On the side of the cooler 2 facing away from the furnace, a cylindrical cavity 10 is provided in its axial extension, which has the same diameter as the cooler 2 and which is completed by an end wall 11. The walls of this cavity 10 are made of steel, for example, a ceramic lining is not necessary here because of the lower temperatures. In the center of this end wall 11 there is a bushing 12 for a rotatable, axially extending shaft 13 which at the same time guides this shaft 13. A metal part 15 is attached to the tip 14 of this axially extending shaft 13, which is helically wound in the axial direction and has, for example, approximately 1 1/2 turns. This dimensionally stable metal part 15 forms the actual scratching device of this device. Between the scraper device shown in the rest position and the part of the cooler 2 provided with cooling tubes 4, a discharge opening 16 is provided at the bottom at the lowest point, to which a collecting container 17 is flanged. When changing the collecting container 17, the discharge opening 16 can be closed by means of a slide 18, which is only indicated here.

Zur Erläuterung der wirkungsweise sei die einzige Figur näher betrachtet. Im Kühler 2 werden die ofenseitig mit mehr als 1300 °C eintretenden heissen Gase und/oder Dämpfe abgekühlt. Bei diesem Abkühlvorgang kondensieren bzw. desublimieren Rückstände und lagern sich an der gekühlten Innenwand 7 des Kühlers 2 ab. Diese Rückstände können in Hüttenwerken erzeugte Rohstoffe sein, es können aber beispielsweise auch Schadstoffe sein, die aus verunreinigten Gas-Dampf-Gemischen entfernt werden. Ferner kann es sich bei diesem Kühler 2 um eine Baugruppe handeln, deren Funktionsfähigkeit durch diese Rückstände beeinträchtigt wird. Zur Entfernung dieser Rückstände wird nun die axial erstreckte Welle 13 durch einen nicht dargestellten Antrieb in Drehbewegung versetzt und gleichzeitig in axialer Richtung verschoben. Der Vorschub und die Drehggeschwindigkeit sind so auf die Steigung der Windungen des Metallteils 15 abgestimmt, dass dieses im rohrförmig ausgebildeten Innenraum 3 des Kühlers korkenzieherartig entgegen der durch den Pfeil 6 angegebenen Strömungsrichtung bewegt wird. Der lichte Strömungsquerschnitt des Kühlers 2 wird dadurch nur unwesentlich verkleinert. Durch diese Schraubbewegung wird vermieden, dass Rückstände von der Innenwand 7 losgekratzt und in Richtung auf die ofenseitige heisse Zone des Kühlers 2 geschoben werden, wo sie wieder schmelzen bzw. verdampfen würden. Sobald die Zone der an der Innenwand 7 abgelagerten Rückstände durchschraubt ist, wird das Metallteil 17 durch die Welle 13 wieder in die Ruhestellung zurückgezogen, kratzt dabei die Rückstände von der Innenwand 7 ab und transportiert sie zu der Austragsöffnung 16. Dieser Bewegungsablauf von der Ruhestellung der Kratzvorrichtung in die heisse Zone und zurück in die Ruhestellung im kühleren Bereich des Rohres erfolgt in vergleichsweise kurzer Zeit, so dass das Metallteil 15 dabei die vorgegebene Grenztemperatur für seine Anwendung nicht erreichen kann. Der Bewegungsablauf wird periodisch wiederholt.The single figure is considered in more detail to explain the mode of operation. In the cooler 2, the hot gases and / or vapors entering the oven at more than 1300 ° C. are cooled. Condense or desublimate during this cooling process Residues and are deposited on the cooled inner wall 7 of the cooler 2. These residues can be raw materials produced in iron and steel works, but they can also be pollutants, for example, that are removed from contaminated gas-steam mixtures. Furthermore, this cooler 2 can be an assembly whose functionality is impaired by these residues. To remove these residues, the axially extending shaft 13 is now set in rotation by a drive, not shown, and at the same time displaced in the axial direction. The feed and the rotational speed are matched to the slope of the turns of the metal part 15 such that it is moved in the tubular interior 3 of the cooler like a corkscrew against the flow direction indicated by the arrow 6. The clear flow cross section of the cooler 2 is thereby only insignificantly reduced. This screwing movement prevents residues from being scraped off the inner wall 7 and pushed towards the hot zone of the cooler 2 on the oven side, where they would melt or evaporate again. As soon as the zone of the residues deposited on the inner wall 7 is screwed through, the metal part 17 is pulled back into the rest position by the shaft 13, scrapes off the residues from the inner wall 7 and transports them to the discharge opening 16. This movement sequence from the rest position of the Scraper device in the hot zone and back to the rest position in the cooler area of the tube takes place in a comparatively short time, so that the metal part 15 cannot reach the predetermined limit temperature for its application. The sequence of movements is repeated periodically.

Beim Zurückziehen des Metallteils 15 kann die Drehbewegung im gleichen Sinn wie beim korkenzieherartigen Vorwärtsschrauben beibehalten werden, wenn eine besonders gute Kratzwirkung erreicht werden soll. Das Metallteil 15 kann aber auch ohne diese Drehbewegung zurückgezogen werden. Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die Kante des Metallteils 15, welche beim Kratzvorgang beansprucht wird, besonders scharfkantig angeschliffen und als Kratzkante ausgebildet ist. Bei gewissen Rückständen kann es auch sinnvoll sein diese Kratzkanten zu härten. Das Metallteil 15 kann so gestaltet sein, dass es gerade in den zylindrisch ausgebildeten Innenraum 3 passt, es kann aber auch so in sich federnd ausgebildet sein, dass es mit Federkraft gegen die Innenwand 7 drückt. Auf diese Art ist es möglich auch fester angebackene Rückstände abzukratzen und in den Auffangbehälter 17 zu transportieren. Zwischen dem Metallteil 15 und der Innenwand 7 kann auch ein Spalt von beispielsweise 0,5 mm Dicke vorgesehen sein, was zur Folge hat, dass stets eine entsprechende Schicht von Rückständen die Innenwand 7 bedeckt.Eine derartige Ausführung weist den Vorteil auf, dass die Innenwand 7 vor Korrosionserscheinungen geschützt wird, wenn aggressive Gase und/oder Dämpfe abgekühlt werden müssen.When the metal part 15 is pulled back, the rotational movement can be maintained in the same sense as with the corkscrew-like forward screwing if a particularly good scratching effect is to be achieved. The metal part 15 can also be withdrawn without this rotary movement. It is beneficial if the edge of the metal part 15, which is stressed during the scratching process, is ground particularly sharp and is designed as a scratching edge. With certain residues, it can also make sense to harden these scratched edges. The metal part 15 can be designed such that it just fits into the cylindrical interior 3, but it can also be designed to be resilient in such a way that it presses against the inner wall 7 with spring force. In this way, it is also possible to scrape off baked-on residues and to transport them into the collecting container 17. A gap of, for example, 0.5 mm thickness can also be provided between the metal part 15 and the inner wall 7, with the result that a corresponding layer of residues always covers the inner wall 7. Such an embodiment has the advantage that the inner wall 7 is protected against signs of corrosion when aggressive gases and / or vapors have to be cooled.

Das Metallteil 15 wird in der Ruhestellung nicht mit hohen Temperaturen beaufschlagt und verliert deshalb seine innere Festigkeit und seine Formbeständigkeit nicht, es nimmt jedoch die Temperatur an, die im Bereich des Stutzens 9 herrscht, der den Ausgang des Kühlers 2 bildet. Am Beginn der Schraubbewegung des Metallteiles 15 aus der Ruhestellung heraus ist deshalb kein Temperaturschock zu befürchten, wenn das Metallteil 15 mit dem aus Keramik bestehenden Teil des Kühlers 2 in Berührung kommt.The metal part 15 is not subjected to high temperatures in the rest position and therefore does not lose its internal strength and dimensional stability, but it does assume the temperature prevailing in the area of the connection piece 9 which forms the outlet of the cooler 2. At the beginning of the screwing movement of the metal part 15 out of the rest position, there is therefore no fear of a temperature shock when the metal part 15 comes into contact with the ceramic part of the cooler 2.

Ein Prototyp einer derartigen Vorrichtung wurde erfolgreich in Betrieb genommen. Als Kühler 2 wird dabei ein 1 m langes Keramikrohr mit eingekitteten Kühlrohren 4 für Wasserkühlung verwendet. Das Keramikrohr weist einen Innendurchmesser von 10 cm auf. Das Metallteil 15 besteht aus einer aussen passend geschliffenen Spiralfeder mit konstanter Steigung, von der eineinhalb Windungen verwendet werden. Die axial erstreckte Welle 13, mit deren Spitze das Metallteil 15 verbunden ist, ist aus Stahl mit 10 mm Durchmesser gefertigt.A prototype of such a device has been successfully put into operation. A 1 m long ceramic tube with cemented-in cooling tubes 4 for water cooling is used as the cooler 2. The ceramic tube has an inner diameter of 10 cm. The metal part 15 consists of an externally suitably ground spiral spring with a constant pitch, of which one and a half turns are used. The axially extending shaft 13, with the tip of which the metal part 15 is connected, is made of steel with a 10 mm diameter.

In die Vorrichtung wurde von einem Ofen ca. 1300 °C heisses Gasgemisch unter Normaldruck eingespeist. Dieses Gasgemisch enthielt 95 % Luft, 2 % gasförmige Schwermetallverbindungen, vor allem ZnCl₂, PbO, PbCl₂ usw., und 3 % weitere Anteile wie CO₂, SO₂, usw. Die Schwermetallverbindungen lagerten sich an der Innenwand 7 des Kühlers 2 ab und wurden als Pulver ausgetragen zur weiteren Verarbeitung.A gas mixture at a temperature of approximately 1300 ° C. was fed into the device under normal pressure. This gas mixture contained 95% air, 2% gaseous heavy metal compounds, especially ZnCl₂, PbO, PbCl₂ etc., and 3% other parts such as CO₂, SO₂, etc. The heavy metal compounds deposited on the inner wall 7 of the cooler 2 and were used as a powder carried out for further processing.

Die Vorrichtung kann auch, wie dies beim obigen Prototyp der Fall ist, gasdicht ausgeführt werden, wenn schädliche Gase und/oder Dämpfe abgekühlt werden sollen, ebenso ist es denkbar sie mit Ueber- oder Unterdruck zu betreiben. Für diese Fälle müssen die Durchführung 12, die Flanschverbindung zwischen Austragsöffnung 16 und Auffangbehälter 17, der Schieber 18 und der Uebergang zwischen der Aussenwand 5 des Ofens und dem Kühler 2 gasdicht und ggf. auch druckdicht ausgeführt werden.As is the case with the above prototype, the device can also be gas-tight if harmful gases and / or vapors are to be cooled, and it is also conceivable to operate it with excess or negative pressure. For these cases, the bushing 12, the flange connection between the discharge opening 16 and the collecting container 17, the slide 18 and the transition between the outer wall 5 of the furnace and the cooler 2 must be made gas-tight and possibly also pressure-tight.

Der Kühler 2 ist in Richtung auf die Austragsöffnung 16 abwärts geneigt. Dieses Gefälle erleichtert die Austragung der abgekratzten Rückstände und verhindert, dass flüssig kondensierendes Material in den Ofen zurückfliessen kann. Im Innenraum des Kühlers 2 treten verschiedene Temperaturzonen auf, und es ist durchaus denkbar, dass in einer bestimmten Temperaturzone eine bestimmte Fraktion der Rückstände besonders hoch konzentriert abgelagert wird. Diese Fraktion kann nun durch eine nicht dargestellte, zusätzliche Austragsöffnung entfernt werden. Die weitere Aufbereitung der Rückstände wird durch diese fraktionsweise getrennte Austragung vereinfacht.The cooler 2 is inclined downwards in the direction of the discharge opening 16. This gradient facilitates the removal of the scraped-off residues and prevents liquid condensing material from flowing back into the furnace. Different temperature zones occur in the interior of the cooler 2, and it is entirely conceivable that a certain fraction of the residues is deposited in a particularly high concentration in a certain temperature zone. This fraction can now be removed through an additional discharge opening, not shown. The further processing of the residues is simplified by this fractionally separate discharge.

Es ist auch denkbar derartige Vorrichtungen in von heissen Flüssigkeiten durchströmten Anordnungen einzusetzen, um kritische Bereiche von Ablagerungen, welche den Strömungsquerschnitt unzulässig einengen, zu befreien.It is also conceivable to use such devices in arrangements through which hot liquids flow in order to free critical areas from deposits which impermissibly restrict the flow cross section.

Claims (8)

  1. Pipe-scraping device for the removal during operation of residues deposited on the inside wall (7) of a pipe carrying hot gases and/or vapours, having at least one scraping device which can be operated by an axially extending shaft (13), having a passage (12) for the shaft (13) and having at least one discharge opening (16) for the residues removed, characterised
    - in that the at least one scraping device has at least one metal part (15) wound helically in axial direction and connected to the shaft (13),
    - in that the shaft (13) is guided axially displaceably,
    - in that the shaft (13) is driven such that the metal part (15) is screwed into the pipe in the manner of a corkscrew, and
    - in that the metal part (15) can be withdrawn from the pipe by the shaft (13) without rotational movement or rotating in the same sense as during the screwing in.
  2. Device according to Claim 1, characterised
    - in that the metal part (15) presses resiliently against the inside wall (7) or bears against the latter or in that a gap is formed between the inside wall (7) and the metal part (15),
    - in that the metal part (15) has at least one winding, and
    - in that it is arranged together with the shaft (13) such that, in the state of rest, a harmful impingement by the hot gases or vapours is not possible.
  3. Device according to Claim 1, characterised
    - in that the metal part (15) is wound with constant pitch, and
    - in that it is connected at least to the tip (14) of the central shaft (13).
  4. Device according to Claim 1, characterised
       - in that the axis of the pipe runs downwards in the direction of the at least one discharge opening (16).
  5. Device according to Claim 1, characterised
       - in that the pipe is a chiller (2), preferably made of ceramic material with inserted or cemented-in chilling tubes (4).
  6. Device according to Claim 1, characterised
       - in that gases and/or vapours at temperatures of up to 1300°C and above are introduced into the pipe on the side remote from the at least one discharge opening (16).
  7. Device according to Claim 1, characterised
       - in that the pipe has, offset in axial direction, at least a second discharge opening.
  8. Device according to at least one of the preceding Claims 1 to 7, characterised
       - in that the device is of a gas-tight configuration and can be operated with positive pressure or normal pressure or negative pressure.
