Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de réduction de la visibilité d'un panache de gaz émis par une cheminée.The present invention relates to a device for reducing the visibility of a plume of gas emitted by a chimney.
Elle concerne plus précisément un dispositif d'équipement d'une cheminée, en particulier d'une cheminée industrielle, destiné à équiper une cheminée d'embouchure de section de diamètre inscrit D d'où est évacué un panache de gaz et destiné à réduire la visibilité de ce panache.It relates more precisely to a device for equipping a chimney, in particular an industrial chimney, intended to equip a mouth chimney with a cross section of inscribed diameter D from which a gas plume is evacuated and intended to reduce the visibility of this plume.
Les gaz d'un système de combustion ou d'un procédé industriel sont généralement dispersés dans l'atmosphère au moyen d'une cheminée. Ces gaz peuvent contenir des substances qui produisent une coloration du panache d'importance proportionnelle à la concentration en substances colorantes et à l'épaisseur du panache.The gases of a combustion system or an industrial process are generally dispersed in the atmosphere by means of a chimney. These gases may contain substances which produce a coloring of the plume of importance proportional to the concentration of coloring substances and to the thickness of the plume.
Pour réduire ou même éliminer cette coloration du panache, il est classique de réduire la concentration en substances colorantes par exemple par traitement physico-chimique des gaz ou en modifiant les conditions opératoires du procédé qui génère les gaz ou en diluant les gaz avant leur évacuation par la cheminée.To reduce or even eliminate this coloration of the plume, it is conventional to reduce the concentration of coloring substances for example by physico-chemical treatment of the gases or by modifying the operating conditions of the process which generates the gases or by diluting the gases before their evacuation by the fireplace.
Par exemple, dans le cas d'une installation comprenant successivement une turbine à combustion, une chaudière de récupération de chaleur et une cheminée, il est fréquent d'observer un panache de coloration brune dû à la présence de dioxyde d'azote dans les gaz. Pour réduire la visibilité du panache, il est usuel de diminuer la teneur en dioxyde d'azote, soit en traitant les gaz avant leur évacuation grâce à un système de dénitrification catalytique, soit en modifiant les réglages de combustion de la turbine, soit en procédant à une dilution dans de l'air des gaz avant leur évacuation.For example, in the case of an installation successively comprising a combustion turbine, a heat recovery boiler and a chimney, it is frequent to observe a plume of brown coloring due to the presence of nitrogen dioxide in the gases. . To reduce the visibility of the plume, it is usual to reduce the nitrogen dioxide content, either by treating the gases before their evacuation using a catalytic denitrification system, or by modifying the combustion settings of the turbine, or by proceeding dilution in air of the gases before their evacuation.
La présente invention permet de réduire la visibilité d'un panache, grâce à un dispositif particulièrement simple adaptable à toutes cheminées, même existantes, ne nécessitant pas d'intervention sur l'installation de combustion en amont et de faible coût d'investissement.The present invention makes it possible to reduce the visibility of a plume, thanks to a particularly simple device adaptable to all chimneys, even existing ones, requiring no intervention on the upstream combustion plant and low investment cost.
Pour ce faire, le dispositif conforme à l'invention est monté sur l'embouchure de la cheminée et comporte des moyens de déviation de l'écoulement du gaz en un panache tubulaire, l'épaisseur e de ce panache à sa sortie du dispositif étant inférieur à D/2.To do this, the device according to the invention is mounted on the mouth of the chimney and comprises means for deflecting the flow of gas into a tubular plume, the thickness e of this plume at its outlet from the device being less than D / 2.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, lesdits moyens comprennent un organe d'obstruction centré sur l'axe longitudinal de la cheminée et délimitant avec elle un espace d'évacuation annulaire, de largeur e.According to a preferred embodiment, said means comprise an obstruction member centered on the longitudinal axis of the chimney and delimiting with it an annular evacuation space, of width e.
Avantageusement, ledit espace annulaire est, en section transversale, de rayon extérieur inscrit R2 et de rayon intérieur inscrit R1, la différence de ces deux rayons (R2-R1) étant inférieure à D/2.Advantageously, said annular space is, in cross section, with an external radius registered R2 and an internal radius registered R1, the difference of these two radii (R2-R1) being less than D / 2.
Selon une première variante, ledit organe d'obstruction est tronconique, de section réduite disposée vers le bas.According to a first variant, said obstruction member is frustoconical, of reduced section arranged downwards.
Selon une seconde variante, ledit organe d'obstruction est conique, de sommet disposé vers le bas.According to a second variant, said obstruction member is conical, with the top disposed downwards.
Ledit organe d'obstruction est d'angle au sommet β compris entre 45 et 140°Said obstruction member has an angle at the top β of between 45 and 140 °
Avantageusement, l'embouchure de la cheminée est prolongée d'une paroi tronconique évasée vers le haut.Advantageously, the mouth of the chimney is extended by a frustoconical wall flared upwards.
L'angle α formé par ladite paroi tronconique et la normale à la paroi de la cheminée est compris entre 20 et 80°.The angle α formed by said frustoconical wall and normal to the wall of the chimney is between 20 and 80 °.
Ladite épaisseur e est dimensionnée, de telle sorte que la vitesse du gaz en sortie du dispositif est inférieure à 30 m/s.Said thickness e is dimensioned, so that the speed of the gas leaving the device is less than 30 m / s.
L'invention est décrite ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de figures ne représentant qu'un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention.The invention is described below in more detail using figures showing only a preferred embodiment of the invention.
La figure 1 est une vue illustrant la visibilité d'un panache de gaz évacué d'une cheminée classique.Figure 1 is a view illustrating the visibility of a plume of gas discharged from a conventional chimney.
La figure 2 est une vue illustrant la visibilité d'un panache de gaz évacué d'une cheminée équipé du dispositif conforme à l'invention.Figure 2 is a view illustrating the visibility of a plume of gas discharged from a chimney equipped with the device according to the invention.
Les figures 3 et 4 représentent en coupe longitudinale deux variantes de réalisation du dispositif conforme a 1 'invention.Figures 3 and 4 show in longitudinal section two alternative embodiments of the device according to one invention.
La figure 1 représente une cheminée 1 à embouchure circulaire 2 de diamètre D ou à embouchure polygonale dont le cercle inscrit est de diamètre, dit diamètre inscrit, égal à D. Un panache de gaz 5 de forme pleine s'évacue de cette embouchure 2. Un observateur situé au point 3 et regardant le panache 5 dans la direction matérialisée par la ligne 4, observe une coloration d'amplitude I due à une substance colorée contenue dans le gaz et proportionnelle au produit de la concentration moyenne C de la substance colorée dans le gaz et de l'épaisseur E du panache correspondante à la longueur du segment de la ligne 4 coupant celui-ci.
La figure 2 représente la même cheminée 1 équipé d'un dispositif 6 conforme à l'invention. Ce dispositif 6 est monté sur l'embouchure 2 et comporte des moyens de déviation de l'écoulement du gaz en un panache tubulaire 5', l'épaisseur de ce panache à sa sortie du dispositif étant inférieur à D/2, dont des modes de réalisation préférés seront décrits plus loin.Figure 2 shows the
Le même observateur situé au point 3 observe une coloration d'amplitude I' proportionnelle au produit de la concentration moyenne C de la substance colorée dans le gaz et de l'épaisseur E1+E2 du panache correspondante à la somme des longueurs des segments de la ligne 4 coupant celui-ci.
E1+E2 est inférieur à E et l'amplitude de la coloration du panache ainsi obtenu est inférieure à celle du panache obtenue avec la cheminée 1 non équipée.E1 + E2 is less than E and the amplitude of the coloring of the plume thus obtained is less than that of the plume obtained with the
De plus, dans ce calcul, la concentration est supposée constante. Or compte tenu de la forme du panache, on obtient une dispersion plus importante du panache et la concentration est légèrement inférieure grâce au dispositif d'équipement 6 de la cheminée, ce qui diminue encore plus l'amplitude de la coloration.In addition, in this calculation, the concentration is assumed to be constant. However, given the shape of the plume, a greater dispersion of the plume is obtained and the concentration is slightly lower thanks to the equipment device 6 of the chimney, which further decreases the amplitude of the coloring.
La figure 3 est une première variante de réalisation du dispositif d'équipement 6.FIG. 3 is a first alternative embodiment of the equipment device 6.
Lesdits moyens de déviation comprennent un organe d'obstruction 7 centré sur l'axe longitudinal de la cheminée 1 et délimitant avec elle un espace d'évacuation annulaire 8, de largeur e.Said deflection means comprise an obstruction member 7 centered on the longitudinal axis of the
Cet organe d'obstruction 7 est conique, de sommet disposé vers le bas, d'angle au sommet β compris entre 45 et 140° et est maintenu par des goussets plats 9 ou équivalents sur la paroi de la cheminée 1.This obstructing member 7 is conical, with the apex arranged downwards, with an apex angle β of between 45 and 140 ° and is held by
Une seconde variante de réalisation est représentée sur la figure 4.A second alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 4.
Lesdits moyens de déviation comprennent un organe d'obstruction 7 centré sur l'axe longitudinal de la cheminée et délimitant avec elle un espace d'évacuation annulaire 8, de rayon extérieur inscrit R2 et de rayon intérieur inscrit R1, la différence de ces deux rayons (R2-R1) étant inférieure à D/2.Said deflection means comprise an obstructing member 7 centered on the longitudinal axis of the chimney and delimiting with it an
L'organe d'obstruction 7 est tronconique, de section réduite disposée vers le bas. La cheminée 1 est ici prolongée d'une paroi tronconique 11 évasée vers le haut, d'angle α formé avec la normale à la paroi de la cheminée compris entre 20 et 80°, qui canalise l'écoulement du flux de gaz. Cette paroi tronconique 11 peut être fixée au sommet de la cheminée 1 par des moyens mécaniques divers, par exemple emboîtage, vissage ou équivalents, et de préférence par soudage.The obstruction member 7 is frustoconical, of reduced section arranged downwards. The
De préférence, la dimension e est choisie, afin d'obtenir un vitesse du gaz en sortie de l'espace d'évacuation 8 comprise entre 6 et 30 m/s.Preferably, the dimension e is chosen, in order to obtain a speed of the gas leaving the
