Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coal feed device for a plant for steam fluidized bed drying of broken Raw lignite, which has at least two drying units includes.
  • the upstream is separate for this power plant technology Drying is essential.
  • Drying is essential. The possible increase in efficiency through an energetically favorable The greater the drying process, the higher the drying process water content to be reduced.
  • Each drying unit includes a modular design a trigger unit in a vertical stacking arrangement for dried brown coal, one nozzle base unit, one Heat exchanger unit, a steam fluidized bed dryer unit and a feed unit for raw lignite.
  • This concept ensures that the availability of a Power plant with more than 7500 operating hours per year is not affected by the coal predrying.
  • the raw lignite becomes a drying unit via a cellular wheel sluice and into the steam fluidized bed dryer unit integrated screw conveyor given up.
  • This facility has proven itself. Basically but is a further development for improvement of the coal entry process and to reduce the Desirable susceptibility to failure.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a coal feed device for a system for steam fluidized bed drying broken raw lignite to improve.
  • the coal feed device comprises at least a gas-tight allocation device, which is followed by a conveyor is.
  • Allocation device and conveyor are in arranged a pre-treatment room. It is located above the drying units and is therefore outside the hydrocarbon atmosphere.
  • the raw lignite is adjustable from the conveyor in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor transferred to the drying units.
  • a cellular wheel sluice preferably comes as the allocation device for use.
  • Mechanical conveyors are continuous conveyors suitable with or without traction means.
