Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a device for feeding a burner with an unconventional and compressible solid fuel having low bulk density.
  • the present invention refers to a device and its use for feeding a burner with an unconventional solid fuel having low initial apparent density and that can be compressed to a high density.
  • EP-A-0706839 It is well-known, from EP-A-0706839, that it is possible to produce a high-grade fuel, generally known as RDF, from the processing of urban solid waste.
  • RDF high-grade fuel
  • the urban solid waste undergo an automatic treatment consisting of a rough grinding, a drying process, a deodorization step in aerated heaps, a sieving and demetallization phase, to separate the inert material, and finally a fine grinding final step.
  • the so-obtained material has an inferior calorific value of about 3500 Kcal/Kg and an amount of inert material lower than 20% by weight. It is, therefore, a material that can be used as recoverable source of energy and/or as an energy integration to the conventional fuels for furnaces, boilers and cement kilns.
  • the published Italian Patent Application No. MI96A2715 discloses a method for sorting RDF, or another unconventional fuel, derived from a urban solid waste processing plant which consists of several steps for separating the inorganic inert materials from the combustible ones. The resulting product is finely ground and is ready for the combustion application.
  • the method disclosed in IT-A-MI96A2715 comprises several operative steps:
  • the main drawback of this method for the RDF sorting is that the scrapped material is discharged in the feeding pipe-line and fed to the burner through rotary cells which, because of their poor airtight, can cause reflows of air and material and, therefore, inefficiencies in the pneumatic transport lines and in the whole feeding system.
  • the low bulk density of the scrapped material is not an optimal condition for a correct running both of the feeding system and of the burner.
  • the present inventors have now invented a device for feeding a burner with a solid unconventional fuel, such as RDF, which is able to overcome the drawbacks linked with the use of the rotary cells and with the solid fuel low density.
  • This device placed between the transporting container or the collecting device and the burner, enables to thicken again the material that has to be burnt, in order to be pneumatic tight, and to feed the thickened material, through the compressed air, to the burner.
  • a device for feeding a burner with a low bulk density, unconventional and compressible solid fuel which includes:
  • the entrance chamber (i) of the device of the present invention corresponds essentially to the initial part of the advancing chamber.
  • this chamber is set the hopper, fed with the unconventional fuel by, for example, the conveyer belt.
  • the advancing chamber (ii) for the forward moving of the material can contain more than one screw, for example two or three screws, with mutually different phases in order to obtain a better pressing effect. It is preferred, though, to use only one screw, because otherwise, in addition to the better forward thrust effect, the material could also be subjected to a further fragmentation.
  • the material is pressed in the chamber (iii) where it reaches a density between 600 and 700 Kg/m ⁇ , obtaining pneumatic tight.
  • the pressing or compacting chamber is essentially cylindrical and has on the internal wall a plurality of contrasting elements, disposed lengthwise, which contrast the rotative moving of the material and enable its pressing.
  • the contrasting elements may be either baffles emerging from the internal surface or lengthwise grooves.
  • the pressing or compacting chamber can be designed in a frusto-conical shape in order to enhance the pressing effect and improve the start up of the machine.
  • the pressed material is consequently cut by the blades which rotate at the same speed of the rotating screw, being connected to the screw itself.
  • the cut material is sucked up by a current of air again scattered for the turbolence of the current itself and fed to the furnace in a uniform way.
  • FIG. 1 is a partially sectioned side view of the device according to the invention; and FIG. 2 is a front section view according to the line AA of FIG. 1.
  • the device comprises an entrance chamber 1, as initial part of the advancing chamber 2, a pressing chamber 3 and a cutting element. 4.
  • the entrance chamber has an hopper 5 and a screw 6, moved by an outer engine, possibly at a varying speed, not shown in the figures.
  • the screw extends in the advancing chamber for forward motion.
  • the cutting element consists of a flange 8 and of blades 9.
  • the operation of the present device is clearly understood from the figures and from the above description.
  • the low density, unconventional and compressible solid fuel is charged through the hopper 5 and piles in the chamber 1 where it is taken by the screw 6 and moved forward along the advancing chamber 2.
  • the material is pressed in the chamber 3 by the screw with the aid of the contrasting elements 10, which contrast the rotative moving imposed by the screw 6, enable the forward movement and allow the formation of an high density seal.
  • the pressed material is a sort of plug causing a pneumatic seal between the chamber 1 and the current of air, under pression, which pneumatically transfers the fuel from the device to the burner of the furnace.
  • the cut material falls into an air-compressed pipe line, not shown in the figures, which pneumatically transports the solid to the burner of the furnace. Therefore, the furnace is fed with a high concentrated fuel, scattered in air, as being the result of the scrapping of the material pressed in the chamber 3.
