Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for firing carbonate-containing Material in a shaft furnace, with gravity feed by a preheating zone, at least one firing zone and a cooling zone to a discharge device, wherein a Fuel supply in the combustion zone or adjacent to this takes place over several guided through the shaft wall burning lances and combustion air supplied as cooling air under pressure becomes.
  • An energy-saving mode of operation is through multi-shaft furnaces after the DC regenerative process in so-called MAERZ ovens given. At them the fuel gets through hanging in the firing dipping arranged burning lances fed in the feed zone evenly over the Shaft cross section are arranged distributed. Such ovens known However, they are only suitable for soft fires.
  • US-A-3 355 158 describes a firing furnace, distributed over its cross-section Burner are arranged, which are befastigt adjustable on the shaft wall transversely thereto.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of to find the type mentioned by the particular small-grained fuel with different degrees of combustion to the deadburn in an economical way in shaft furnaces be burned to a high quality product can.
  • a method of the aforementioned Art proposed according to the invention thereby characterized is that the Firing lances for selecting the position of their Mouths are moved during furnace operation perpendicular to the shaft wall so that the at the Firing lances forming single flames together one Form flame area at least approximately above the entire shaft cross-section extends; to burn becomes one Material selected whose grain size ranges from 5 to 70 mm lies.
  • each burner lance preferably only for the generation of each a flame is provided, it has compared to numerous Brenner burner having a low Cross section and therefore only leads to a negligible Influencing the fuel flow. It's surprising shown that the burning lances nevertheless sufficient Flexural strength have to the pressure of it flowing around to take up granular fuel.
  • each burning lance perpendicular to Shaft wall is prevented between itself and the Shaft wall forms a gap by accumulating fuel could.
  • the local restriction of the shaft cross-section through the fire lances projecting into it decrease by adding the focal lances in multiple levels on top of each other and to those of another level in the circumferential direction be arranged offset so that the required Fuel quantity distributed over several shafts is supplied.
  • the height of the furnace shaft 2 is by the method in connection with the setting of the conveying speed by means of the discharge device 5 to be determined residence times of the fuel. These residence times spread over an upper, to the loading area 6 subsequent preheating zone 7, on one down following combustion zone 8 and one to the discharge device. 5 extending cooling zone 9.
  • the supply of gaseous, liquid or powdery Fuel takes place over numerous, in one or more levels 10 to 12 arranged burning lances 13, extending through the Shaft wall 3,4 extend into the shaft space 2 inside.
  • the temperatures would be in the Near the shaft wall too high, with the risk of sintering together and in the middle of the shaft too low and below the indicated by the curve 17 minimum firing temperature.
  • the radial positions that can be read on the abscissa of the diagram are only relative and not specific Shaft diameter related. However, the shaft diameter can a radius of 1, although larger Well dimensions can be realized, e.g. with a Diameter of three or more meters.
  • the combustion tube 18 has a connecting piece 22 for the supply line primary combustion air. Furthermore, at the rear End of the fuel lance 13 a coaxially with this running Fuel pipe 23,24 or 25 used, depending on the type of fuel to use different is executed. For powdered fuel, the fuel pipe has the shape of a short nozzle 23 accordingly Figure 7. For liquid and gaseous fuel extends the fuel pipe 24 or 25 until shortly before the mouth 14 of the burning lance 13, to there with the in the enclosing Ring channel 26 incoming primary combustion air mix.
  • Figures 3 to 5 illustrate a different angular arrangement the arranged in three levels burning lances 13, so that the burning lances 13 to those of another level are angularly offset.
  • the burning lances 13 of the different focal planes 10, 11 and 12 is a special even with small flame training extensive coverage of the shaft cross-section through given at each of the mouths 14 forming flames.
  • the size of these flames is due to several factors determined, i. the amount of fuel, the amount of primary and secondary combustion air and the grain size of the fuel. A small grain size leads to a denser bulk packing and thus to a lesser Propagation of the flame.
  • the limitation of the Grain size to a range preferably less than 70 mm grain size the advantage of a lower mechanical load the transversely projecting into the flowing bulk material Burning lances 13 and the advantage of a smaller adjustable Residence time, allowing a sintering of fuel can be prevented by a short residence time.
  • the particle size distribution in the smallest possible area For one uniform degree of combustion should the particle size distribution in the smallest possible area.
  • the relevant fuel lance be held in the manner of a weighing beam, with a Force measuring point outside the shaft wall 3 and with a Device for generating mechanical oscillations in the Overshoot of a permissible force is switched on automatically becomes. In this way, the burning lance can be shake it free, if it should form a jam on it. A shaking of the burning lance can also be her pushing in facilitate the filled shaft space 2.
  • the fuel supply in the individual focal planes 10, 11 and 12 can be individually adjusted to zero, depending on from the desired degree of combustion or the residence time in a certain temperature range a certain temperature profile in the shaft longitudinal direction or in the flow direction to receive the incoming air from below.
  • This air is kept in the range of e.g. designed as a sliding table Discharge device 5 with overpressure by at least an unillustrated blower supplied so that they are in Countercurrent to the downwards moving by gravity Bulk column through the grain structure upwards flows. At first, it serves as cooling air in the cooling zone 9, then in the combustion zone 8 as, for example, secondary Combustion air and last, in the upper preheating zone. 7 the oven to preheat the fuel and thereby, accordingly a preferred embodiment of the invention, for Preheating the flowing to the fuel lances 13, primary Combustion air in there arranged hanging heat exchange tubes 29th
  • the invention essential arrangement of the burning lances 13 and from their mouths 14, distributed over the shaft cross-section, allows new types of process management, with special high flame temperatures in the range of 1800 ° C in a short Dwell time without being at such temperatures in itself expected sintering, i. the formation of blökken occurs, so that was previously impossible Hard burning in vertical shaft furnace with gaseous, liquid and powdered fuels is possible.
  • FIGs of Figs. 10 to 13 show for a particular Dwell time due to the control of the fuel supply in conjunction with adapted primary air supply via the burning lances 13 and countercurrently supplied secondary Combustion air achievable temperature curves for the fuel lime (CaCO3), based on the longitudinal section of the shaft furnace.
  • the temperature of the fuel represented by a solid line 30, while the temperature of the forming by the combustion Fuel gas and the cooling or Sekundärverbrennungs Kunststoff the dashed line 31 corresponds.
  • the fuel supply is graded over in the three Focal planes 10 to 12 arranged burning lances 13 in substantially less than hard firing, so that flame temperatures corresponding to the three temperature peaks 32 train up to 34. at about 1200 ° C in the first focal plane and at about 1400 ° C in the third focal plane.
  • the fuel flowing from top to bottom thus passes in the first focal plane 30 first in contact with fuel gas of 1200 ° Celsius and in the subsequent focal planes with hotter fuel gas of a maximum of about 1400 ° C.
  • the combustion zone 8 has a corresponding long extension in the direction of the chess with correspondingly larger Dwell time of the fuel in the firing zone 8.
  • This heating takes place within the furnace 1 ', by the combustion air is guided through heat exchange tubes 36, which are connected to an and return part 37, 38 hanging vertically and in the circumferential direction of the shaft 2 or evenly on the shaft cross-section distributed in the fuel of the preheating zone. 7 plunge.
  • the arrangement of the heat exchange tubes 36 in the oven 1 'in direct contact with the kiln and the fuel gases leads to a particularly good heat transfer through heat conduction, Convection and heat radiation.
  • the heat exchange surfaces of the tubes 36 through the under Gravity influence on fuel flowing along them cleaned automatically.
  • the possible savings in heat energy is compared to a furnace without preheating of primary combustion air approx. 7 to 10%, at an exhaust gas temperature from about 190 ° C instead of about 330 ° C.
  • Figs. 11 and 13 illustrate that due to the additional one Heat exchanges in the tubes 36 resulting different Temperature profile in the direction of the chute.
