Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrostatic dust collector for horizontal gas passage, with a housing substantially rotationally symmetrical to a central housing axis.
  • Such electrostatic precipitators are known in the art and typically have vertical plate-shaped collecting electrodes arranged equidistant from each other parallel to the main axis of the housing.
  • the collecting electrodes are arranged at equidistant intervals parallel to the main axis of the housing, which extends in accordance with the respective chord line length substantially over the entire available height.
  • tensioned discharge electrodes are provided in frame.
  • scratching devices may be provided, for example around the housing axis via the lower area of the housing wall provided with dust discharge openings, pivotable scraper devices.
  • Such a dust separator is from the EP 0 252 371 A1 known.
  • This dust collector has an inlet and outlet nozzle, each formed by 3 different conical sections, the conical sections are in certain size and height ratios to the housing diameter of the dust collector.
  • In the middle conical section three gas distribution perforated plates are arranged.
  • Dust collectors of this type are used for dry dedusting of industrial useful and exhaust gases, especially when it comes to permanently or temporarily explosive gas mixtures.
  • top gases from blast furnaces which operate at an overpressure of 1.5 to 2.5 bar, dedusted in this way to relax without erosion risk for energy recovery in turbines at 40 to 80 mbar, previously the dust content to 5 must be reduced to 20 mg / m 3 .
  • electrostatic precipitators with a pressure loss of 1 to 2 mbar come into consideration, because in the separation efficiency equivalent high-performance scrubbers have a pressure drop of 200 to 400 mbar.
  • coal pulverizers Another field of application for such dust are coal pulverizers whose exhaust gases are explosive because of the coal dust content within certain limits. Uncontrolled changes in the gas composition due to the build-up of coal dust deposits or the ingress of false air must be avoided in any case.
  • the electrostatic dust collector is provided with an expanding into a single conical section to 80 to 95% of the housing diameter inlet nozzle, the remaining extension of 5 to 20% of the housing diameter in Is formed of a step which is carried out substantially perpendicular and radially symmetrical to the housing axis, with at least two arranged in the conical section Gasver notoriousslochblechen, which are arranged substantially perpendicular to the housing axis.
  • the electrostatic precipitator continues to not tend to deflagration, but that the separation efficiency is increased compared to the dust separator known from the prior art.
  • the increase in the separation efficiency is based on a gas velocity profile which is largely uniformized over the cross section of the stucco separator, as a result of which the residence time distribution is likewise uniform. While these factors affect the ongoing operation of the electrostatic precipitator, a simpler and more cost-effective production is possible due to the simple construction of the dust collector according to the invention with only a single cone and a stage. Furthermore, it is also possible to convert existing dust separators into dust collectors according to the invention quickly and with little cost.
  • a cylindrical section is provided between the conical section and the step-shaped extension, wherein the height (h 1 ) of the cylindrical section is 5 to 15%, preferably about 10% of the housing diameter D.
  • the height h 2 of the conical section is in a certain size ratio to the housing diameter.
  • a height h 2 of the conical section of 20 to 40% of the housing diameter has proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • the post-ion x 1 obey to x 3 of the gas distribution perforated plates the following relationship, wherein x 1 is measured to x 3 along the housing axis, from the cross sectional plane of the stepped recess that is, from the transition stage / cone or step / cylindrical portion, opposite to the gas flow direction:
  • the gas outlet side of the housing includes a stepped taper to 80 to 95% of the housing diameter, which taper is executed substantially perpendicular and radially symmetrical to the housing axis.
  • step-shaped taper adjoins a conically tapering section in a single section, with at least one arranged in the conical section Gasver Collinsslochblech, which are arranged substantially perpendicular to the housing axis and wherein the height ( h 4 ) of the conical section 20 to 40% of the housing diameter D.
  • a cylindrical section is arranged between step-shaped taper and outlet connection, the height ( h 3 ) of the cylindrical section being 5 to 15% of the housing diameter D.
  • three gas distribution hole plates are provided in the conical section of the outlet nozzle, wherein the gas permeability of the gas distribution hole plates in the gas flow direction of 41-45% to 44- 48% and then to 47 51% increases / decreases.
  • the inlet and outlet nozzles are the same, but symmetrically symmetrical.
  • inlet and outlet nozzles each arranged between the conical section and step-shaped extension cylindrical portion and three each in the respective conical part arranged gas distribution hole plates.
  • FIG. 1 schematically an inlet nozzle 1 for a dust collector according to the invention with a substantially cylindrical housing 2 and a central housing axis 3 is shown.
  • the inlet port 1 expands in a single conical section 10 to about 90% of the diameter D of the housing 2 of the dust collector and the height h 2 of the conical section 10 is about 35% of the housing diameter D.
  • At the conical portion 10 includes a cylindrical section. 4 whose height h 1 is about 5% of the housing diameter D.
  • the remaining 10% of the diameter extension of the housing diameter D are formed in the form of a stepped, radially symmetrical recess 5.
  • FIG. 2 schematically, an inventive dust collector 8 is shown with an inlet nozzle 1, a housing 2 and an outlet nozzle 9, wherein the arrow 7 again illustrates the gas flow direction.
