Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat storage block for regenerative Heat exchanger with a plurality of heat exchanger plates, which are essential for the formation of flow channels are arranged parallel to each other, and a dirt trap for heat storage blocks of regenerative heat exchangers.
  • Heat storage blocks of this type usually have the Form of pie pieces and together form a rotor that crosses two zones in its circulation. In the first zone a hot medium is applied to it, which is heat to the heat exchanger plates. In the second zone it flows through a cold medium to which the previous stored heat is released.
  • the heat exchanger plates are generally made of steel and are for increasing their corrosion resistance is coated with enamel.
  • Regenerative heat exchangers are preferably used to Heat from a hot gas stream towards a cold gas stream transfer.
  • a key area of application is flue gas cleaning, for example in power plants and waste incineration plants, the flue gas in a flue gas desulfurization plant (REA) is washed. Before it is cooled, giving off its heat to the regenerative heat exchanger. Then reheating takes place using the heat stored in the heat exchanger.
  • REA flue gas desulfurization plant
  • the dew point is usually the the condensables contained in the flue gas are below. These sit on the heat exchanger plates of the heat storage blocks and form deposits there. Further is the cold gas coming from the REA to a certain extent Load liquid droplets and solid particles that also settle on the plates and the deposit effect reinforce.
  • the object of the invention is the service life to extend the heat storage blocks.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the deposits mainly in the flow from the cold medium Form area of the heat storage block, being essentially only a relatively short distance into the Extend the flow channels. Only falls below in this area the hot medium the dew point. For the cold Medium is the entry area with the highest Degree of pollution.
  • Mud flaps arranged. Its protective plates are practical no contribution to heat storage and transfer. It was found that the temperature difference at the Protection plates in the order of ⁇ 1 K. The Protection plates only provide the deposit area Available.
  • the extremely simple measure is sufficient the entry area of the protective plates free of spacers to let the buildup of the deposits so strongly delay that the time interval between the as multiplied before required cleaning processes. Accordingly the period between - also still required - exchange, whereby in the majority of cases, however, this only Strainer affects.
  • the cleaning medium strikes with reduced Balances on the spacers so that the ones to be included here Forces to a lesser extent tend to crack at the attachment points to evoke.
  • the protective plates are preferably made of elastic deformable plastic, especially made of polypropylene a thickness of 1 mm as this material is resistant to is chemical attacks and, other than for example ceramic Material, no relationship to the material of the Has deposits. It also favors due to its elastic Malleability the flaking of the deposits under the action of vibrations. Furthermore, installation voltages and thermal expansion is compensated for without the risk of cracking become.
  • the protective plates have a preferably wavy profile have, the ribs substantially in the direction of the flow channels. Thermal expansions have an effect under these circumstances, even cheap, because the evoked Movements support the flaking of the rubbers.
  • the spacers are advantageously in the form of small areas Bulges of the protective plates are formed. she are molded during the manufacture of the protective plates and enable very economical production in this way the strainer. They also only form a relative slight obstruction of the flow channels.
  • any spacer consists of a survey of one and a corresponding one Depression of the adjacent plate, being between the elevation and the deepening the fasteners are effective.
  • These can be of any design, for example as rivets or screws.
  • push-button connections in question.
  • joining processes apply such as welding or gluing.
  • the surveys and corresponding depressions the plate profiling arranged in a grid which is an establishment of the correspondence between neighboring protective plates by twisting one plate compared to the other by 180 ° in the plate plane. In this way, only a single plate structure needed.
  • the plates are in alternating orientation stacked and forming the spacers connected with each other.
  • the protective plates at least in the area of edges flowed from the cold medium conical projections have, the height of which is essentially the distance between adjacent protective plates.
  • the elastic Protective plates of the strainer are removed when cleaning flipped through like a deck of cards. Is a protective plate no longer under the influence of the cleaning medium, so she snaps back to her starting position, with the protrusions on the adjacent protective plate. These blows also promote flaking of the deposits.
  • the invention also provides a strainer for Heat storage blocks of regenerative heat exchangers, the Features emerge from the claims 9 to 16.
  • Fig. 1 shows a regenerative heat exchanger 1, the a flue gas desulfurization system, not shown (REA) is assigned.
  • the heat exchanger 1 has a rotor 2, which moves through two zones as it rotates. In the zone shown on the right, it is made from raw gas flowed through on the way to the REA.
  • the raw gas has a hot gas side a temperature of about 130 ° C and gives a part its heat to the rotor 2. It leaves the heat exchanger with a temperature of about 90 ° C.
  • the REA then cools down further to approx. 50 ° C.
  • the clean gas enters the left zone shown, flows through the rotor and takes some of the heat stored in the rotor. It leaves the heat exchanger with a temperature of around 90 ° C.
  • Cleaning devices 3 and 4 serve the rotor periodically cleaned.
  • the rotor consists of a plurality of pie-shaped Heat storage blocks 5, the cold gas side with dirt traps 6 are provided.
  • Each heat storage block has one Plurality of heat exchanger plates made from enamelled Steel sheet exist and are able to absorb heat, save and return.
  • the dirt traps 6 also exist, as shown in FIG. 2, from pie-shaped blocks 11, each of which is composed of a plurality of protective plates 12. These are with their lateral edges 13 (Fig. 3) on one Holding device 14 attached and form flow channels, which run perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in FIG. 2.
  • the protective plates 12 are spacers 15 (Fig. 4) kept at a distance from each other and to a stack of plates connected with each other.
  • a fastener in present case adhesive connections.
  • Each spacer 15 consists of an elevation 16 of a protective plate and a recess 17 of the neighboring Protective plate.
  • the surveys 16 and Wells 17 of each protective plate side by side in pairs arranged (Fig. 3).
  • the protective plates 12 consist of elastically deformable Plastic, namely made of polypropylene and can be used without Make another in the form shown. It can be worked with one and the same grid. Like Fig. 4 shows, adjacent protective plates 12 are of the same shape, however of alternating orientation, with neighboring ones Protection plates are rotated 180 ° against each other. Furthermore the protective plates have a profile, the Ribs 18 run parallel to the side edges 13.
  • the protective plates are made of elastically deformable polypropylene exist with a thickness of 1 mm, by Vibrations and movements due to thermal expansion support flaking of the deposits. Also compensate installation voltages.
  • the protective plates 12 are in the area of their edges flowed from the cold medium with conical projections 20 provided. If the protective plates vibrate hit these protrusions on neighboring protective plates and help to blow up the deposits.
