Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un foyer de chaudière à lit fluidisé comprenant deux soles séparées par un entrejambe à la partie inférieure du foyer, et au moins un panneau de tubes d'échange de chaleur.The invention relates to a furnace for a fluidized bed boiler comprising two soles separated by a crotch at the bottom of the furnace, and at least one panel of heat exchange tubes.
Un foyer du genre indiqué ci-dessus pour chaudière à lit fluidisé circulant est connu notamment de la demande de brevet
L'objet de l'invention est de proposer une autre disposition des panneaux de tubes d'échange de chaleur qui tire profit de la structure d'un foyer ayant dans sa partie inférieure un entrejambe.The object of the invention is to propose another arrangement of heat exchange tube panels that takes advantage of the structure of a fireplace having in its lower part a crotch.
Le foyer pour chaudière à lit fluidisé selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le panneau de tubes d'échange de chaleur est disposé verticalement au-dessus dudit entrejambe et perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale desdites soles. De cette façon, ça ne gène pas l'équilibre de la charge dans le foyer. Une pluralité de panneaux peuvent être disposés en une rangée sur le dessus de l'entrejambe en étant espacés régulièrement les uns des autres selon ladite direction longitudinale de manière à laisser des espaces de circulation suffisants pour les particules ne créant pas de déséquilibres de pression à l'intérieur du foyer.The furnace for a fluidized bed boiler according to the invention is characterized in that the panel of heat exchange tubes is disposed vertically above said crotch and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said soles. In this way, it does not interfere with the load balance in the home. A plurality of panels may be arranged in a row on the top of the crotch being spaced regularly from each other in said longitudinal direction so as to leave sufficient circulation space for the particles does not create pressure imbalances at the same time. inside the fireplace.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier du foyer selon l'invention, les tubes formant un panneau sont le prolongement des tubes formant l'entrejambe ce qui évite la formation de traversées dans l'entrejambe. Un foyer selon l'invention peut également comprendre une alternance de panneaux dont les tubes sont le prolongement des tubes formant l'entrejambe et de panneaux dont les tubes sont raccordés à un collecteur disposé sous l'entrejambe. Il y aura donc des panneaux alimentés par le fluide circulant dans les parois du foyer et des panneaux alimentés soit par le même fluide soit par un autre fluide caloporteur.In a particular embodiment of the fireplace according to the invention, the tubes forming a panel are an extension of the tubes forming the crotch which prevents the formation of crossings in the crotch. A fireplace according to the invention may also comprise an alternation of panels whose tubes are an extension of the tubes forming the crotch and panels whose tubes are connected to a collector disposed under the crotch. So there will be panels powered by the fluid flowing in the walls of the fireplace and panels fed either by the same fluid or by another heat transfer fluid.
De préférence, chaque panneau de tubes est fixé au plafond du foyer de telle manière que le panneau de tubes puisse, si nécessaire, être mis en traction entre l'entrejambe et le plafond du foyer pour limiter les vibrations produites par la circulation du fluide des les tubes des panneaux.Preferably, each panel of tubes is fixed to the ceiling of the hearth so that the panel of tubes can, if necessary, be placed in tension between the crotch and the ceiling of the hearth to limit the vibrations produced by the circulation of the fluid. the tubes of the panels.
Il est décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple et en référence aux figures schématiques du dessin annexé, un foyer pour chaudière à lit fluidisé selon l'invention.Hereinafter, by way of example and with reference to the schematic figures of the accompanying drawings, a furnace for a fluidized bed boiler according to the invention is described.
