Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a plant for the continuous drying of wood chips, wood fibers or other bulk materials, in which the heat of flue gases generated in a combustion chamber is used in a dryer charged with the material to be dried.
  • DE-A-24 61 415 discloses a drying system with a dryer heated directly by flue gases, the flue gases being generated in a combustion chamber upstream of the dryer.
  • the mixture of flue gases and vapors leaving the dryer, which is contaminated with pollutants, is cleaned by means of cyclone dusting and then divided into two partial flows.
  • One part of the stream is returned to the combustion chamber and injected into the hottest zone for the combustion of the pollutants, so that there is intensive mixing with the flue gases, which are then fed back to the dryer.
  • the other partial flow is released into the atmosphere via an exhaust pipe.
  • This method has the advantage of a reduced amount of exhaust gas, which means that fewer pollutants leave the system, but, with due regard to the legal regulations on emission limitation, it also does not manage without the additional cleaning methods described above.
  • a method and a device for drying solids contained in liquid with two independent combustion chambers is known. Part of the vapors is fed to the main combustion chamber, from which the combustion gases are led into the atmosphere.
  • the auxiliary combustion chamber which contains its own burner, is supplied with a portion of the vapors after preheating by the exhaust gases from the first combustion chamber in a heat exchanger, the combustion gases being introduced from the auxiliary combustion chamber into the dryer charged with the material to be dried.
  • oxygen-containing combustion gases are used for drying, so that there is an increased risk of explosion when drying wood chips or wood fibers.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a system of the type mentioned, whereby pollutant emission limit values can be maintained with less effort than previously, which are smaller than previously prescribed, and which increases the efficiency and at the same time the Risk of explosion is reduced.
  • this object is achieved by a method according to the teaching of claim 1 and by a system according to claim 9.
  • the vapors which are polluted with pollutants but are free of flue gas, are returned to the dryer in the circuit and used as a drying agent for direct heating of the dryer.
  • the heat content required for this is obtained by indirect heating before entering the dryer. It is heated with smoke gases that are generated in a combustion chamber.
  • this combustion chamber is the 'lock' for a vapor partial flow which has to be removed from the circuit due to the mass balance to be maintained, i.e. pollutants can only leave the circuit via the combustion chamber. There they are burned and in this way provide part of the energy required to heat the circuit.
  • a further vapor partial flow can be generated after the indirect heating of the Circuit branched from this and introduced into the combustion chamber. Since this vapor partial flow is heated, it can be mixed more effectively with the flue gases. In this case, the first vapor partial flow is reduced by the volume of the second vapor partial flow due to the mass balance to be maintained in the circuit.
  • the invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.
  • the accompanying drawing shows a basic circuit diagram of a system for the continuous drying of wood chips, wood fibers or the like.
  • a dryer 8, a separator 10, a fan 11, one or more cyclones 12 and a recuperative heat exchanger 7 are connected together in a circuit via pipes. Design measures ensure that the leakage in this circuit is low.
  • the system also has a combustion chamber 1 with a burner 2, which is connected to the heat exchanger 7 on the flue gas side, but is not part of the circuit.
  • Supply lines for air 3, light oil or gas 4 and wood dust 5 lead to burner 2.
  • the fuels can be burned individually or in any mixture.
  • the material to be dried is entered between the heat exchanger 7 and dryer 8 via a material lock, not shown, for example a rotary valve, and a pipeline 9 into the circuit.
  • the material can also be fed directly into the entrance area of the dryer 8, which, as is customary for this application, can be a nozzle tube dryer, single-pass, multi-pass drum dryer or the like.
  • a pipeline 6 branches off in the flow direction upstream of the heat exchanger 7 to the combustion chamber 1.
  • the flue gases generated in the combustion chamber 1 are fed to the heat exchanger 7.
  • the hot vapor stream is fed to the dryer 8 for direct heating via the section of the pipeline 13 arranged between the heat exchanger 7 and the dryer 8.
  • further vapors and harmful ingredients are released from the material to be dried, which are removed from the dryer 8 together with the dried material.
  • the coarser fractions of the dried material are separated in the subsequent separator.
  • the fine fractions of the dried material remaining in the vapors are then fed together with the vapors via a blower 11 to one or more cyclones 12. This is where the fine fractions of the dried material are separated.
  • the vapors leaving the cyclone (s) 12 are contaminated with fine dust and the pollutants formed during drying. They are returned to the dryer 8 via the pipeline 13, passing through the heat exchanger 7 and being heated up. This closes the almost inert vapor cycle.
  • the cooled flue gases leaving the heat exchanger 7 are conveyed by means of a fan 15 into a filter device 16, which is designed as a dry filter in the form of a bag filter or the like, where they are cleaned.
  • This filter device can be omitted if ash-free fuel is used.
  • the flue gases are passed into a heat exchanger 17 and used there to preheat the combustion air. This is fed to the burner 2 via the pipeline 19.
  • the flue gases are passed into the atmosphere via a chimney 18.
  • the invention is not only limited to the drying of wood chips, wood fibers or the like, but also for other bulk materials, e.g. Fish meal, peat, coal, grain and sewage sludge, applicable.
