Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zur Wärmeerzeugung durch katalytische Verbrennung eines gasförmigen oder flüssigen Brennstoffs.The invention relates to a device for generating heat by catalytic combustion of a gaseous or liquid fuel.
Solche Einrichtungen können z.B. als Heizanlagen in Gebäuden, insbesondere für Heizanlagen mit einer Leistung von einigen 100 kW Anwendung finden.Such devices can e.g. as heating systems in buildings, in particular for heating systems with an output of a few 100 kW.
Konventionelle Brenner verursachen thermische NOx-Emissionen von etwa 150 mg/m³. Es ist aus Joos, L., Stand der Nox-Emissionen und der Minderungsmaßnahmen bei Gasfeuerungen im HuK-Bereich, Gaswärme international, Bd. 35, 4, 1986, Seiten 187 bis 195 bekannt, daß durch Verwendung eines katalytischen Brenners eine deutliche NOx-Reduktion, nämlich um etwa 95% erzielt werden kann. Allerdings besteht bei katalytischen Brennern die Gefahr, daß sich das vor dem Eintritt in den Brennerraum hergestellte Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisch selbst entzündet. Eine erforderliche Vorheizung des Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisches auf etwa 300 bis 500°C bzw. ein Verdampfen von flüssigem Brennstoffen verursacht apparativen Zusatzaufwand. So ist z.B. in BWK, Bd. 39 (1987), Nr. 7/8, Seiten 370 bis 374 die katalytische Verbrennung von Wasserstoff beschrieben und es sind Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung einer Selbstentzündung angegeben, nämlich ein Vormischbrenner mit einem katalytischen Heizer, dessen Katalysatorschicht-Temperatur an jedem Punkt unter der Selbstentzündungstemperatur von Wasserstoff liegt, sowie ein Katalysator mit gedämpfter Temperaturabhängigkeit der Umsatzleistung, wozu eine besondere Katalysatorstruktur erforderlich ist. Für Hochtemperaturbrenner wird die erwähnte Vormischung des Brenngases mit Luft und Vorheizung des Gemisches vorgeschlagen.Conventional burners cause thermal NO x emissions of around 150 mg / m³. It is known from Joos, L., status of the No x emissions and the reduction measures for gas firing in the HuK area, Gaswärme international, Vol. 35, 4, 1986, pages 187 to 195 that by using a catalytic burner a clear NO x reduction, namely can be achieved by about 95%. However, with catalytic burners there is a risk that the fuel-air mixture produced before entering the burner chamber will ignite itself. A necessary preheating of the fuel-air mixture to about 300 to 500 ° C or an evaporation of liquid fuels causes additional equipment expenditure. For example, in BWK, Vol. 39 (1987), No. 7/8, pages 370 to 374 describes the catalytic combustion of hydrogen and measures are given to avoid self-ignition, namely a premix burner with a catalytic heater, the catalyst layer temperature of which is below the point at each point Self-ignition temperature of hydrogen is, as well as a catalyst with a damped temperature dependence of the sales performance, for which a special catalyst structure is required. For high-temperature burners, the aforementioned premixing of the fuel gas with air and preheating the mixture is proposed.
Aus der DE-AS 10 25 095 ist ein Betriebsverfahren für einen Kessel zur Dampferzeugung bekannt, der Partikel eines Oxidationskatalysators enthält, die durch eine Brennstoff- und Luftzufuhr aufgewirbelt werden. Ein Teil der zugeführten Luft kann vorgeheizt sein. Mit diesen Maßnahmen soll ein guter Wärmeübergang von der Flamme auf das Arbeitsmittel erzielt werden. Maßnahmen zur Verhinderung einer Selbstentzündung des Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisches sind dort nicht angesprochen.From DE-AS 10 25 095 an operating method for a boiler for steam generation is known, which contains particles of an oxidation catalyst, which are whirled up by a fuel and air supply. Some of the air supplied can be preheated. These measures are intended to achieve good heat transfer from the flame to the working fluid. Measures to prevent spontaneous combustion of the fuel-air mixture are not addressed there.
Ausgehend von dem Stand der Technik, der oben anhand der Veröffentlichung in der Zeitschrift BWK beschrieben wurde, liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung zur Wärmeerzeugung durch katalytische Verbrennung anzugeben, bei der mit geringem Aufwand an Einrichtungen oder Stoffen eine Selbstentzündung eines Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisches vermieden ist und außerdem eine gute und emissionsarme Verbrennung erzielt wird.Based on the prior art, which was described above with reference to the publication in the magazine BWK, the invention has for its object to provide a device for heat generation by catalytic combustion, in which self-ignition of a fuel-air with little effort in facilities or substances Mixture is avoided and good, low-emission combustion is also achieved.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Einrichtung zur Wärmeerzeugung durch katalytische Verbrennung eines gasförmigen oder flüssigen Brennstoffs, bei der einer katalytischen Brennkammer ein Brennstoff/Luft-Mischer vorgeschaltet und ein Wärmetauscher zur Wärmeauskopplung nachgeschaltet ist, wobei vor dem Brennstoff/Luft-Mischer ein Brennstoff/Abgas-Mischer angeordnet ist, dem ein Teil des Abgases der Einrichtung zugeführt ist und wobei Mittel zur geregelten Beheizung des Brennstoff-Abgas-Luftgemisches vorhanden sind.This object is achieved by a device for generating heat by catalytic combustion of a gaseous one or liquid fuel, in which a fuel / air mixer is connected upstream of a catalytic combustion chamber and a heat exchanger for heat extraction is connected downstream, a fuel / exhaust gas mixer being arranged in front of the fuel / air mixer and receiving part of the exhaust gas from the device and means for the controlled heating of the fuel-exhaust gas-air mixture are provided.
Die vorgeschlagene Abgasrückführung zur Zumischung des Abgases als Inertgas zum Brennstoff in einem Brennstoff/Abgas-Mischer setzt vorteilhaft die Zündfähigkeit des Gemisches herab. Da außerdem der Heizwert des Gasgemisches durch die Abgaszumischung verringert wird, ist die Verbrennungstemperatur niedriger als bei konventionellen Einrichtungen und dadurch auch die NOx-Emission.The proposed exhaust gas recirculation for admixing the exhaust gas as an inert gas to the fuel in a fuel / exhaust gas mixer advantageously reduces the ignitability of the mixture. In addition, since the calorific value of the gas mixture is reduced by the exhaust gas admixture, the combustion temperature is lower than that of conventional devices and therefore also the NO x emission.
Damit der katalytische Brenner arbeitet, muß eine Vorheizung des zugeführten Gemisches erfolgen. Dies kann beispielsweise durch elektrische Beheizung oder mit Hilfe eines Oberflächen-Wärmetauschers durch das von der Gesamteinrichtung erzeugte Heißwasser erfolgen. Es ist auch möglich, einen Oberflächen-Wärmetauscher anzuordnen und heißes Rauchgas zur Vorheizung des Brennstoff/Luft-Gemisches zu nutzen.In order for the catalytic burner to work, the mixture supplied must be preheated. This can be done for example by electrical heating or with the help of a surface heat exchanger through the hot water generated by the overall device. It is also possible to arrange a surface heat exchanger and to use hot flue gas to preheat the fuel / air mixture.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung wird ein Teil der Abgase als heißes Rauchgas vom Brennerausgang auf den Brennstoff/Abgas-Mischer zurückgeführt, wodurch die Vorwärmung des Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisches ohne Oberflächen-Wärmetauscher möglich ist und auch ein Verdampfen eines flüssigen Brennstoffs möglich ist.According to an advantageous embodiment, part of the exhaust gases is returned as hot flue gas from the burner outlet to the fuel / exhaust gas mixer, which makes it possible to preheat the fuel-air mixture without a surface heat exchanger and also to vaporize a liquid fuel.
Eine bevorzugte Anordnung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und nachstehend beschrieben.A preferred arrangement is shown in the drawing and described below.
Einer als Brennstoff/Abgas-Mischer 1 bezeichneten ersten Mischkammer ist Brennstoff B, z.B. Erdgas, zugeführt. In dem Brennstoff/Abgas-Mischer 1 wird der Brennstoff B mit kaltem Abgas A gemischt, das vom Ausgang der Gesamteinrichtung mit einer zweiten Rückführleitung 6 zurückgeführt ist, wodurch die Selbstzündgefahr gemindert ist. Zur Vorwärmung des Brennstoffs B wird außerdem über eine erste Rückführleitung 5 heißes Rauchgas R vom Ausgang eines katalytischen Brenners 3 auf den Brennstoff/Abgas-Mischer 1 zurückgeführt. Nicht dargestellt sind Mittel zur Steuerung und Regelung der Massenströme der beiden Abgasströme um eine gewünschte Temperatur des am Brenner 3 eintretenden Gemisches zu erzielen.A first mixing chamber referred to as fuel / exhaust gas mixer 1 is fuel B, e.g. Natural gas. In the fuel / exhaust gas mixer 1, the fuel B is mixed with cold exhaust gas A, which is returned from the outlet of the overall device with a
Zwischen dem Brennstoff/Abgas-Mischer 1 und dem Brenner 3 ist ein Brennstoff/Luft-Mischer 2 als zweite Mischkammer angeordnet, der Luft L zugeführt ist. Erforderliche Mittel zur Regelung der Luftzufuhr zur Einstellung eines bestimmten Lambda-Wertes sind nicht dargestellt.Between the fuel / exhaust gas mixer 1 and the burner 3, a fuel / air mixer 2 is arranged as a second mixing chamber, to which air L is supplied. Required Means for regulating the air supply to set a certain lambda value are not shown.
Dem Brenner 3 ist ein Wärmetauscher 4 nachgeschaltet, mit dessen Hilfe Wärme vom heißen Rauchgas R auf einen Wasserkreislauf W übertragen wird.A burner 3 is followed by a heat exchanger 4, with the aid of which heat is transferred from the hot flue gas R to a water circuit W.
