Advantageous Further developments of the invention are in the subclaims described.

Erfindungswesentlich ist, daß bei einer Vorrichtung zur Reinigung von Abgasen aus industriellen Prozessen mit einer Brennkammer und einem Wärmetauscher in dem Wärmetauscher Einrichtungen zur spiralförmigen Führung des zu reinigenden Abgases um die Brennkammer vorgesehen sind. Auf diese Weise wird das zu reinigende Abgas besonders gut auf alle äußeren Bereiche der Brennkammer verteilt und hat in diesem Bereich eine besonders hohe Verweildauer, so daß das zu reinigende Abgas besonders gut vorgewärmt und erhitzt werden kann und auf diese Weise der Reinigungsprozeß besonders gut und wirtschaftlich erfolgt. Zudem ist eine solche Einrichtung zur spiralförmigen Führung einfach und preisgünstig herstellbar.It is essential to the invention that in a device for Purification of exhaust gases from industrial processes with a combustion chamber and a heat exchanger in the heat exchanger Devices for the spiral guidance of the cleaning exhaust gas are provided around the combustion chamber. In this way, the exhaust gas to be cleaned becomes special well distributed over all outer areas of the combustion chamber and has a particularly long stay in this area, so that the exhaust gas to be cleaned is particularly good can be preheated and heated and this way the cleaning process is particularly good and economical. In addition, such a device for spiral Guide easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

These run also spirally around the combustion chamber or around that Guide housing 16 and always meet the Spiral 15, wherein in the spiral 15 to the heat exchanger hoses 17 adapted passages 18 are provided are. The emerging clean gas flows in the direction of the Arrows 22.

In Fig. 4 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht der Wendel 15 dargestellt, in der die Vielzahl von Durchlässen 18 für die Vielzahl von Wärmetauscherschläuchen 17 vorgesehen ist.4 is a perspective view of the helix 15 in which the plurality of passages 18 for the plurality of heat exchanger hoses 17 are provided is.

Im Betrieb tritt das zu reinigende Abgas oder Rohgas durch den Eingangsstutzen 21 in die Vorrichtung 1 ein. Das zu reinigende Abgas verteilt sich dann in der vorderen Verteilkammer 2 und strömt dann durch den Wärmetauscher 3, insbesondere entlang der spiralförmig um die Brennkammer 7 führenden Wendel 15. Dabei wird das Abgas einerseits durch die von der Brennkammer 7 bzw. dem Ringspalt 10 abgegebenen Wärme und andererseits von der durch den Wärmetauscher 3 führenden Einrichtung zur Rückführung des heißen Reingases, nämlich den Wärmetauscherschläuchen 17, erwärmt. Durch die Zwangsführung der Wendel 15 verbleibt das eintretende Rohgas oder Abgas vergleichsweise lange in dem Wärmetauscher 3 und hat dort einen langen Weg zurückzulegen. Der Weg hängt ab von der Anzahl der Windungen der Wendel. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird das Abgas dreimal um die Brennkammer herumgeführt. Das auf diese Weise vorgewärmte Abgas tritt im Bereich 5 in die Brennkammer 7 ein und dient gleichzeitig als Verbrennungsluft für den durch die Zuleitung 6 durchgeführten Brennstoff und wird dort von dem Brenner 4 verbrannt. In der Brennkammer 7 erfolgt die eigentliche Reaktion der in dem Abgas enthaltenen Schadstoffe aufgrund der hohen Temperatur und des hohen Verbrennungsluftüberschusses. Ein Temperaturregler hält die Reaktionstemperatur in der Brennkammer 7 mit Hilfe eines Brennstoffmengenreglers konstant. Die heißen, auf diese Weise vorgereinigten Gase strömen in der Brennkammer 7 in Pfeilrichtung durch den Strömungsgleichrichter 8 und verteilen sich gleichmäßig über den gesamten Brennkammerquerschnitt. Die heißen, vorgereinigten Gase durchströmen dann den Katalysator 9, der bevorzugt als Platinkatalysator mit umgebenden Keramikfasern ausgebildet ist, und reagieren mit dem überschüssigen Restsauerstoff und den restlichen Schadstoffen. Die so gereinigten Gase strömen durch den Ringspalt 10 in die vordere Wendesammelkammer 11 und verteilen sich in den Wärmetauscherschläuchen 17. Die Wärmetauscherschläuche 17 sind wendelförmig oder spiralförmig mit umgekehrtem Drehrichtungssinn wie die Wendel 15 um die Brennkammer 7 geführt und führen das gereinigte Gas zu dem Ausgangsstutzen 12. Die am Ende der Brennkammer 7 angeordnete Bypassklappe 13 ist normalerweise geschlossen und gibt im Notfall, zum Beispiel bei einer unzulässig hohen Temperatur das gereinigte Gas direkt in den Ausgangsstutzen 12. Auf diese Weise wird im Notfall der Wärmetauscher 3 umgangen, so daß dann die Temperatur in der Brennkammer 7 fällt und die Übertemperatur gesenkt wird.The exhaust gas or raw gas to be cleaned occurs during operation through the inlet connector 21 into the device 1. The exhaust gas to be cleaned is then distributed in the front Distribution chamber 2 and then flows through the heat exchanger 3, especially along the spiral around the Combustion chamber 7 leading helix 15. The exhaust gas on the one hand by the from the combustion chamber 7 or Annular gap 10 emitted heat and on the other hand from the through the heat exchanger 3 leading device for recirculation of the hot clean gas, namely the heat exchanger hoses 17, heated. Due to the forced management of the Spiral 15 remains the incoming raw gas or exhaust gas comparatively long in the heat exchanger 3 and has there to go a long way. The way depends on the Number of turns of the helix. In the illustrated embodiment the exhaust gas is thrice around the combustion chamber led around. The preheated in this way Exhaust gas enters the combustion chamber 7 in the region 5 and also serves as combustion air for the through the Feed 6 performed fuel and is from there the burner 4 burned. This takes place in the combustion chamber 7 actual reaction of the pollutants contained in the exhaust gas due to the high temperature and the high excess of combustion air. A temperature controller holds the Reaction temperature in the combustion chamber 7 using a Fuel flow regulator constant. They are called this Pre-cleaned gases flow into the combustion chamber 7 in Arrow direction through the flow straightener 8 and are distributed evenly over the entire cross-section of the combustion chamber. Flow through the hot, pre-cleaned gases then the catalyst 9, which is preferably a platinum catalyst is formed with surrounding ceramic fibers, and react with the excess residual oxygen and remaining pollutants. The gases cleaned in this way flow through the annular gap 10 into the front reversible collecting chamber 11 and are distributed in the heat exchanger hoses 17. The heat exchanger hoses 17 are helical or spiral with reverse direction of rotation like that Helix 15 passed around the combustion chamber 7 and perform that cleaned gas to the outlet port 12. The at the end of the Combustion chamber 7 arranged bypass valve 13 is normal closed and gives in an emergency, for example the cleaned gas directly at an impermissibly high temperature in the outlet port 12. In this way, in Emergency bypassed the heat exchanger 3, so that then Temperature in the combustion chamber 7 drops and the excess temperature is lowered.
