Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gaszuführung für einen Elektrofilter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und eine Elektrofiltervorrichtung, die einen Elektrofilter und eine Gaszuführung aufweist.The invention relates to a gas supply for an electrostatic precipitator according to the preamble of claim 1 and an electrostatic filter device comprising an electrostatic precipitator and a gas supply.

Elektrofilter werden unter anderem in Müllverbrennungsanlagen, Kraftwerken oder in der Industrie in Produktionsanlagen mit Feuerungen wie etwa bei der Zement, Kalk, Gips, Eisen oder Stahlherstellung verwendet, um schwierig abzuscheidende Festkörperartikel wie zum Beispiel feine Staubpartikel aus einer Luft-, Rauchgas- oder ganz allgemein einer Gasströmung heraus zu filtern. Dazu wird die Gasströmung durch ein elektrisches Feld geleitet, in dem sich von Elektroden freigesetzte Elektronen an die Staubpartikel anlagern, zusammen mit den Staubpartikeln in Richtung von Niederschlagselektroden wandern und dort abgeschieden werden.Electrostatic precipitators are used, inter alia, in incinerators, power plants, or in industrial plants with furnaces such as cement, lime, gypsum, iron, or steelmaking, for difficult-to-deposit solid articles such as fine dust particles from an air, flue gas, or more generally to filter out a gas flow. For this purpose, the gas flow is passed through an electric field in which accumulate electrons released by electrodes to the dust particles, migrate together with the dust particles in the direction of precipitation electrodes and deposited there.

Damit ein Elektrofilter das Gas in einem größtmöglichen Wirkungsgrad reinigen kann, muss er möglichst gleichmäßig angeströmt bzw. durchströmt werden. Eine nicht optimale Anströmung führt zu einer ungleichmäßigen Verteilung des Staubs, der Temperatur oder der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit in der Gasströmung, was einen verminderten Abscheidegrad und somit eine nicht optimalen Reinigungswirkung nach sich zieht. Auch können sich aufgrund dieser ungleichmäßigen Strömungsverteilungen sehr leicht Partikelablagerungen bilden, die den Strömungsquerschnitt des Elektrofilters nach und nach verringern und seinen Wirkungsgrad absenken.For an electrostatic filter to be able to clean the gas in the greatest possible degree of efficiency, it must be flowed through or flowed through as uniformly as possible. A non-optimal flow leads to an uneven distribution of the dust, the temperature or the flow velocity in the gas flow, resulting in a reduced degree of separation and thus a non-optimal cleaning effect. Also, due to these uneven flow distributions can easily form particle deposits that gradually reduce the flow area of the electrostatic precipitator and lower its efficiency.

Daher weist eine Elektrofiltervorrichtung üblicherweise eine vor dem Elektrofilter angeordnete Gaszuführung auf, die das zu filternde Gas möglichst gleichmäßig zum und in den Filter leitet. Die Gaszuführung umfasst in der Regel einen Anströmkanal, durch den das Gas in Richtung des Filters strömt, und eine sich vom Anströmkanal etwa umgekehrt trichterförmig zum Elektrofilter hin aufweitende Gaseintrittshaube. Die Gaseintrittshaube weist also an ihrem in Strömungsrichtung vorne liegenden Querschnitt eine kleine Querschnittsfläche auf, die der des Anströmkanals entspricht, und an ihrem in Strömungsrichtung hinten liegenden Querschnitt eine große Querschnittsfläche auf, die im Wesentlichen der des Elektrofilters entspricht.Therefore, an electrostatic filter device usually has a gas supply arranged in front of the electrostatic filter, which directs the gas to be filtered as uniformly as possible to and into the filter. The gas supply generally comprises a flow channel through which the gas flows in the direction of the filter, and a gas inlet hood which widens in a funnel shape from the inflow channel in the opposite direction to the electrostatic filter. The gas inlet hood thus has a small cross-sectional area at its forward cross section in the flow direction, which corresponds to that of the inflow channel, and at its in the flow direction behind lying cross-section on a large cross-sectional area, which corresponds substantially to that of the electrostatic precipitator.

Um die Anströmung des Filters zu vergleichmäßigen, ist in der Gaszuführung normalerweise unmittelbar vor dem Elektrofilter im aufgeweiteten Bereich der Gaseintrittshaube wenigstens ein Strömungsverteiler angeordnet. Bei diesen Strömungsverteilern handelt es sich üblicherweise um Gasverteilungsvorrichtungen in Form von Lochblechen, die oft in mehreren Lagen hintereinander angeordnet werden.In order to even out the flow of the filter, at least one flow distributor is normally arranged in the gas supply directly in front of the electrostatic precipitator in the widened region of the gas inlet hood. These flow distributors are usually gas distribution devices in the form of perforated plates, which are often arranged in several layers one behind the other.

Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Filterleistung oder um überhaupt erst die zur Filtration notwendigen Bedingungen im zu filternden Gas zu schaffen, werden in der Gaszuführung mit Hilfe einer Zumischvorrichtung Konditioniermittel in den Gasstrom gemischt. Dabei handelt es sich einmal um eine abkühlende Konditionierung, bei der Wasser zur Kühlung des Gases in die Gasströmung gesprüht wird. Oft wird das Gas auch ohne Absenkung der Gastemperatur konditioniert, indem SO3, NH3, Wasserdampf oder ähnliches unter anderem zur Reduktion des elektrischen Staubwiderstandes in das zu filternde Gas eingespritzt werden. Um eine möglichst gleichmäßige Zumischung zu erreichen, weist die Zumischvorrichtung in der Regel eine Vielzahl von in der Gaszuführung angeordneten Düsen auf.To further improve the filter performance, or even to create the conditions necessary for filtration in the gas to be filtered, conditioning agents are mixed into the gas stream in the gas feed with the aid of an admixing device. This is once a cooling conditioning in which water is sprayed into the gas flow to cool the gas. Often, the gas is conditioned without lowering the gas temperature by SO 3 , NH 3 , water vapor or the like, among other things, to reduce the electrical dust resistance are injected into the gas to be filtered. In order to achieve the most uniform admixture, the admixing device usually has a plurality of nozzles arranged in the gas supply.

Im Dokument US-A-5 630 367 ist in Fig. 2 eine Verwirbelungsplatte (30) und in Fig. 4 eine Anordnung aus einer Lochplatte (32) im Abstand (35) vor Mündungen von Rohren (33) vorgesehen um Staub aus einem Rauchgas auszuscheiden und einem Speicher (20) zuzuführen. Zwar ist im Zusammenhang mit der Verwirbelungsplatte (30) bzw. der Lochplatte (32) von Wirbeln die Rede, aber diese Wirbel sollen ganz offensichtlich Staub aus dem durchströmenden Rauchgas abscheiden, aber auf keinen Fall eine gute Durchmischung des Rauchgases mit dem mitgeführten Staub herbeiführen.In the document US-A-5 630 367 in Fig. 2 is a swirling plate (30) and in Fig. 4 is an arrangement of a perforated plate (32) at a distance (35) from mouths of pipes (33) provided to separate out dust from a flue gas and a memory (20). Although in connection with the Verwirbelungsplatte (30) or the perforated plate (32) of eddies, but these vortexes are obviously dust from the flowing flue gas, but in no case bring about a good mixing of the flue gas with the entrained dust.

Diese bekannten Elektrofiltervorrichtungen haben sich in der Vergangenheit bereits sehr bewährt. Vor dem Hintergrund der immer weiter verschärften Anforderungen zum Emissionsschutz von Filteranlagen besteht aber dennoch ein großer Bedarf an Elektrofiltervorrichtungen, die einen gegenüber diesem Stand der Technik verbesserten Wirkungsgrad aufweisen.These known electrostatic filter devices have already proven themselves in the past. However, against the background of the ever stricter requirements for emission protection of filter systems, there is nevertheless a great need for electrostatic filter devices which have an improved efficiency compared to this prior art.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Wirkungsgrad von Elektrofiltervorrichtungen zu verbessern.The invention is therefore based on the object to improve the efficiency of electrostatic filter devices.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt mit der Gaszuführung für einen Elektrofilter gemäß Anspruch 1 und der Elektrofiltervorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 12. Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Gaszuführung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.The solution of this object is achieved with the gas supply for an electric filter according to claim 1 and the electrostatic filter device according to claim 12. Preferred developments of the gas supply are described in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung betrifft demnach zunächst die Gaszuführung für einen Elektrofilter einer Elektrofiltervorrichtung, da nach Untersuchungen der Erfinder gerade im Bereich der Zuleitung des Gases zum Filter besonders großes Verbesserungspotential im Hinblick auf den Wirkungsgrad der Elektrofiltervorrichtung vorhanden ist. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine grundsätzlich bekannte Gaszuführung, die einen Anströmkanal mit konstanter Querschnittsfläche, eine Gaseintrittshaube mit sich in Richtung des Elektrofilter aufweitender Querschnittsfläche und eine Zumischvorrichtung für ein Konditioniermittel aufweist. Dabei ist im aufgeweiteten Querschnittsbereich wenigstens ein Strömungsverteiler angeordnet.Accordingly, the invention initially relates to the gas supply for an electrostatic precipitator of an electrostatic precipitator device, since, according to studies by the inventor, particularly great potential for improvement with regard to the efficiency of the electrostatic precipitator device is present especially in the region of the supply of the gas to the filter. This is a generally known gas supply, which has a Anströmkanal with a constant cross-sectional area, a gas inlet hood with in the direction of the electrostatic filter aufweitender cross-sectional area and a Zumischvorrichtung for a conditioning agent. At least one flow distributor is arranged in the expanded cross-sectional area.

Die erfindungsgemäße Gaszuführung unterscheidet sich nun von den bekannten Gaszuführungen dadurch, dass eine erste Vorderkantenwirbel erzeugende Wirbelvorrichtung im Anströmkanal, eine zweite Vorderkantenwirbel erzeugende Wirbelvorrichtung in der Gaseintrittshaube in Gasströmungsrichtung vor dem Strömungsverteiler und die Zumischvorrichtung im Bereich einer der beiden Wirbelvorrichtungen angeordnet ist. Bei diesen Wirbelvorrichtungen handelt es sich um grundsätzlich bekannte Einbauelemente, wie sie zum Beispiel in der EP 0638732 A1 bereits für einen Diffusor beschrieben worden sind.The gas supply according to the invention now differs from the known gas feeds in that a first vortex vortex generating vortex device in the inflow, a second vortex vortex generating vortex device in the gas inlet hood in the gas flow direction in front of the flow distributor and the admixing device in the region of one of the two vortexers is arranged. These vortex devices are basically known mounting elements, as described, for example, in US Pat EP 0638732 A1 have already been described for a diffuser.

Wesentlich an diesen Wirbelvorrichtungen ist, dass sie Vorderkantenwirbel erzeugen. Diese auch als Wirbelschleppen bezeichneten Randwirbel kann man sich dabei als kleine in Strömungsrichtung gerichtete Tornados vorstellen, deren Durchmesser in Strömungsrichtung anwachsen. Die Wirbel drehen sich dabei von den Seitenrändern der Wirbelvorrichtung zunächst nach außen und rollen sich dann nach innen ein, wodurch sich gegenüberliegende Wirbel gegenläufig drehen. Blickt man stromabwärts auf eine derartige Wirbelvorrichtung, so sehen die Vorderkantenwirbel wie zwei sich gegenläufig einrollende Schnecken aus.Essential to these whirling devices is that they produce leading edge vertebrae. These vortices, also referred to as wake vortices, can be thought of as small tornadoes directed in the direction of flow, the diameters of which increase in the direction of flow. The vortices rotate from the side edges of the vortex device initially outward and then roll inward, causing opposite vortex rotate in opposite directions. If one looks downstream on such a vortex device, then the leading edge vortices look like two worms rolling in opposite directions.

Diese Vorderkantenwirbel haben den Vorteil, dass sie ausgesprochen stabile Wirbelsysteme sind, die zu einer besonders effektiven Durchmischung der Gasströmung führen. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass sich ein weitestgehend gleichmäßig turbulentes Strömungsverhalten hinter einer solchen Wirbelvorrichtung bildet, dass sich nahezu unabhängig von der gerade durchströmenden Gasmenge einstellt. Somit müssen derartige Wirbelvorrichtungen nicht ständig an schwankende Gasmengen angepasst werden. Man spricht daher in diesem Zusammenhang auch von statischen Mischern. Aufgrund dieser guten Durchmischungseigenschaften hat man die Vorderkantenwirbel erzeugenden Wirbelvorrichtungen insbesondere in Diffusoren dazu genutzt, um herkömmliche Umlenkbleche, Leitbleche oder Lochbleche die zur Strömungsverteilung oder Umlenkung dienen, vollständig durch diese zu ersetzen.These leading edge vortices have the advantage that they are extremely stable vortex systems, which lead to a particularly effective mixing of the gas flow. This makes it possible that a largely uniform turbulent flow behavior forms behind such a vortex device that adjusts almost independently of the amount of gas flowing straight through. Thus, such vortex devices do not have to be constantly adapted to fluctuating gas quantities. One speaks therefore in this context of static mixers. Because of these good mixing properties, the vortex vortex generating vortex devices have been used, in particular in diffusers, to completely replace conventional deflectors, baffles or perforated plates used for flow distribution or deflection.

Bisher wurden derartige Wirbelvorrichtungen nicht in Elektrofiltervorrichtungen oder Gaszuführungen für Elektrofilter benutzt, da man sie nicht für diese Anwendung als geeignet hielt, um die Strömungsverteiler (Lochbleche) vollständig zu ersetzen. Insbesondere die sich auf einer sehr kürzen Strömungsstrecke stark aufweitende Gaseintrittshaube erschien bisher für den Einsatz von derartigen Vorderkantenwirbel erzeugenden Wirbelvorrichtungen zu kurz um eine effektive Vergleichsmäßigung der Strömung zu erreichen.Heretofore, such vortex devices have not been used in electrostatic precipitators or gas feeds for electrostatic precipitators because they have not been considered suitable for this application to completely replace the flow distributors (perforated plates). In particular, the on a very short flow section greatly widening gas inlet hood appeared previously for the use of such vortex vortex generating vortex devices too short to achieve an effective Vergleichmäßigung of the flow.

Im Gegensatz dazu werden hier nun die Wirbelvorrichtungen auch in der sich extrem aufweitenden Gaseintrittshaube einer Gaszuführung für einen Elektrofilter eingesetzt, aber anders als bisher nicht dazu benutz, um die strömungsverteilenden Einbauelemente, sprich Strömungsverteiler, vollständig zu ersetzen, sondern nur deren Anströmung zumindest bereichsweise zu verbessern.In contrast, the vortex devices are now also used in the extremely expanding gas inlet hood of a gas supply for an electrostatic precipitator, but different than before not used to completely replace the flow-distributing mounting elements, ie flow distributor, but only to improve their flow at least partially.

Konkret heißt das, dass die Anströmung des vor dem Elektrofilter angeordneten Strömungsverteilers so optimiert wird, dass nur eine einzige Lochblechlage und nicht wie bisher zwei oder drei Lochblechlagen benötigt werden. Dabei haben die Wirbelvorrichtungen aufgrund ihrer in Strömungsrichtung schräg gestellten Anordnung eine in Strömungsrichtung nur sehr geringe Projektionsfläche bei einer hohen Durchwirbelungswirkung, wodurch die Druckverluste stark gesenkt werden. Zugleich ergibt die kräftige Verwirbelung, dass sich die Partikel stark bewegen und sich nicht mehr so leicht wie bisher ablagern. Durch die Verwirbelung werden gleichzeitig Staubsträhnen aufgelöst und verteilt, so dass die Staubpartikelverteilung vergleichmäßigt wird. Zugleich kann aufgrund der turbulenten aber vergleichmäßigten Anströmung, die Strömungsverteilung auf den Elektrofilter bereits mit einer einzigen Lochblechlage erfolgen. Dadurch reduzieren sich die Einbauflächen in der Gaszuführung, und der Wirkungsgrad des Elektrofilters bzw. der Elektrofiltervorrichtung wird insgesamt deutlich gesteigert, während die grundsätzlich als vorteilhaft eingeschätzte Anströmung des Elektrofilters über ein Lochblech beibehalten werden kann.Specifically, this means that the flow of the flow distributor arranged in front of the electrostatic filter is optimized so that only a single perforated sheet layer and not two or three perforated sheet layers are required as before. In this case, due to their obliquely arranged in the flow direction arrangement, the vortex devices have only a very small projection surface in the flow direction with a high turbulence effect, whereby the pressure losses are greatly reduced. At the same time, the strong turbulence results in the particles moving strongly and no longer depositing as easily as before. The turbulence at the same time dust strands are dissolved and distributed, so that the dust particle distribution is made uniform. At the same time, owing to the turbulent but uniform flow, the flow distribution to the electrostatic precipitator can already take place with a single perforated sheet layer. This reduces the mounting surfaces in the gas supply, and the efficiency of the electrostatic precipitator or the electrostatic precipitator device is significantly increased overall, while the basically estimated advantageous flow of the electrostatic precipitator can be maintained via a perforated plate.

Zudem zeichnet sich die erfindungsgemäße Gaszuführung dadurch aus, dass eine Wirbelvorrichtung im Anströmkanal mit zumindest annähernd konstantem Querschnitt angeordnet wird. Damit erfolgt die Bildung von ersten Vorderkantenwirbeln bereits im rohrförmigen Abschnitt mit im wesentlichen parallelen Kanalwänden. Diese Anordnung steht in Gegensatz zur bisherigen Lehre, die davon ausgeht, dass die Wirbelvorrichtungen stets innerhalb der sich aufweitenden Bereiche eines Diffusors angeordnet werden sollen. Sie basiert auf einem Synergieeffekt, der sich aus der Beibehaltung des wenigstens einen Strömungsverteilers vor dem Elektrofilter ergibt.In addition, the gas supply according to the invention is characterized in that a vortex device is arranged in the inflow channel with at least approximately constant cross section. Thus, the formation of first leading edge vortices already takes place in the tubular section with substantially parallel channel walls. This arrangement is in contrast to the previous teaching, which assumes that the vortex devices should always be arranged within the widening areas of a diffuser. It is based on a synergy effect resulting from the maintenance of the at least one flow distributor in front of the electrostatic precipitator.

Untersuchungen der Erfinder haben nämlich gezeigt, dass die vorgezogene Anordnung der ersten Wirbelvorrichtung im Anströmkanal gerade bei Elektrofiltern eine ausreichend vorteilhafte Strömungsverteilung erzeugt, wenn im Anschluss eine weitere Wirbelvorrichtung und ein Strömungsverteiler, also ein Lochblech, folgen. Dadurch ist es zum Beispiel auch unter Zuhilfenahme einfacher bzw. herkömmlicher Umlenkbleche möglich, die grundsätzlich bereits turbulente und gut durchmischte Gasströmung in der Gaseintrittshaube in Richtung des Strömungsverteilers zu richten, der dann die gleichmäßige Durchströmung des Elektrofilters sicherstellt.Investigations by the inventors have shown that the preferred arrangement of the first vortex device in the inflow channel produces a sufficiently advantageous flow distribution, especially in the case of electrostatic precipitators, when a further vortex device and a flow distributor, ie a perforated plate, subsequently follow. This makes it possible, for example, with the aid of simple or conventional baffles to direct the already basically turbulent and well-mixed gas flow in the gas inlet hood in the direction of the flow distributor, which then ensures the uniform flow through the electrostatic precipitator.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass nunmehr die Zumischvorrichtung im Bereich einer der beiden Wirbelvorrichtungen angeordnet wird. So kann man die kräftigen Vorderkantenwirbel zur effektiven Zumischung eines Konditioniermittels in den Gasstrom nutzen. Aufgrund der sich in Strömungsrichtung ausbreitenden Vorderkantenwirbelsysteme ergibt sich so auch bei einer punktuellen Einspritzung eine besonders gute Vermischung des Konditioniermittels über den Strömungsquerschnitt hinweg.It is particularly advantageous that now the admixing device is arranged in the region of one of the two vortex devices. So you can use the powerful leading edge vortex for effective mixing of a conditioning agent in the gas stream. Due to the flow direction Spreading leading edge eddy systems thus results in a punctual injection particularly good mixing of the conditioning over the flow cross-section away.

Weiterbildend ist die erste Wirbelvorrichtung in Hauptströmungsrichtung vor einer Krümmung des Anströmkanals angeordnet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die erste Wirbelvorrichtung auch zur Umlenkung der Gasströmung in Krümmungsrichtung des Anströmkanals benutzt wird.Further, the first vortex device is arranged in the main flow direction in front of a curvature of the inflow channel. This has the advantage that the first vortex device is also used for deflecting the gas flow in the direction of curvature of the inflow channel.

Dabei ist die erste Wirbelvorrichtung zweckmäßiger Weise dichter zur Krümmungsinnenseite des Anströmkanals als zu dessen Krümmungsaußenseite, also in Bezug auf die Mitte des Anströmkanals asymmetrisch auf der Innenseite der Krümmung angeordnet. Dadurch wird der Strömung auf der Innenseite eine erhöhte Strömungsenergie zugeführt, die die Strömung befähigt, besser der scharfen Umlenkung der Innenkante zu folgen. Im Zusammenspiel mit der zweiten Wirbeleinrichtung ist es somit möglich, eine nahezu ablösungsfreie Umlenkung in der Filterhaube zu erzielen, was die Strömungsverteilung deutlich verbessert.In this case, the first vortex device is expediently closer to the inner side of the inflow duct than to its outer side of curvature, that is to say arranged asymmetrically on the inner side of the curvature with respect to the center of the inflow channel. As a result, the flow on the inside of an increased flow energy is supplied, which enables the flow to better follow the sharp deflection of the inner edge. In conjunction with the second vortex device, it is thus possible to achieve a virtually separation-free deflection in the filter hood, which significantly improves the flow distribution.

Grundsätzlich kann die erste Wirbelvorrichtung im Anströmkanal derart angewinkelt angeordnet, dass die Anströmkante ihrer der Gasströmung zugewandten wenigstens einen Anströmfläche in Richtung der Krümmungsinnenseite und die Abrisskante zur Krümmungsaußenseite des Anströmkanals weist. Bevorzugt ist die erste Wirbelvorrichtung allerdings andersherum im Anströmkanal angewinkelt angeordnet, so dass die Anströmkante ihrer der Gasströmung zugewandten wenigstens einen Anströmfläche in Richtung der Krümmungsaußenseite und die Abrisskante zur Krümmungsinnenseite des Anströmkanals weist. Dabei ist die Anströmkante die Kante der Wirbelvorrichtung, die der Gasströmung zugewandt ist und die Abrisskante ist die Kante, die der Strömung abgewandt ist. Mit anderen Worten: An der Anströmkante wird der Wirbelvorgang ausgelöst, und an der Abströmkante verlässt die Gasströmung die Anströmfläche. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ergibt sich ein besonders stark ausgebildetes Vorderkantenwirbelsystem an der Abrisskante, das sehr weit in den Bereich der Krümmungsaußenseite des Anströmkanals hineinreicht.In principle, the first vortex device can be arranged at an angle in the inflow channel in such a way that the leading edge of its at least one inflow surface faces the gas flow in the direction of the curvature inside and the trailing edge points toward the curvature outside of the inflow channel. Preferably, however, the first vortex device is arranged at an angle in the inflow channel, so that the inflow edge of its facing the gas flow has at least one inflow surface in the direction of the curvature outside and the trailing edge to the curvature inside of the inflow channel. In this case, the leading edge is the edge of the vortex device, which faces the gas flow and the trailing edge is the edge which faces away from the flow. In other words: At the leading edge, the vortexing process is triggered, and at the trailing edge, the gas flow leaves the inflow surface. In this embodiment, a particularly strong trained Vorderkantenwirbelsystem results in the trailing edge, which extends very far in the region of the curvature outside of the inflow channel.

Es ist von Vorteil, wenn die zweite Wirbelvorrichtung in einem unteren Bereich der Gaseintrittshaube angeordnet ist. Dies führt dazu, dass insbesondere der untere Bereich der Gaseintrittshaube mit Vorderkantenwirbeln durchmischt wird, so dass sich Staubpartikel, die sich aufgrund ihres Gewichtes nach unten bewegen, nicht am Boden der Gaseintrittshaube ablagern, sondern vielmehr turbulent vor dem Filter wieder in die Gasströmung eingemischt werden. Dies reduziert die sich am Boden der Gaseintrittshaube ansammelnden Partikelablagerungen und führt zu einer deutlichen Wirkungsgradverbesserung des Elektrofilters. Zudem wird bei einem vertikal angeordneten Anströmkanal die, aufgrund einer Krümmung in horizontale Richtung umgelenkte, Luftströmung nochmals durch die zweite Wirbelvorrichtung in eine horizontalere Richtung gelenkt. Die Wirbelvorrichtung dient somit nicht nur als Mittel zur Durchmischung sondern auch als Umlenkmittel.It is advantageous if the second vortex device is arranged in a lower region of the gas inlet hood. This results in that in particular the lower portion of the gas inlet hood is mixed with leading edge vortices, so that dust particles that move down due to their weight, do not deposit on the bottom of the gas inlet hood, but rather turbulently mixed in front of the filter back into the gas flow. This reduces the accumulated at the bottom of the gas inlet hood particle deposits and leads to a significant improvement in the efficiency of the electrostatic precipitator. In addition, in the case of a vertically arranged inflow channel, the air flow diverted in the horizontal direction due to a curvature is again passed through the second vortex device steered in a more horizontal direction. The vortex device thus serves not only as a means for mixing but also as a deflection.

Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn die zweite Wirbelvorrichtung in einem spitzen Winkel zu einer Wand der Gaseintrittshaube angeordnet ist. Dabei ist unter einem spitzen Winkel ein Winkel von weniger als 45° und mehr als 0,5 ° zu verstehen. Dadurch wird an den Anströmkanten der Wirbelvorrichtung ein ausgeprägtes Vorderkantenwirbelsystem erzeugt.It is expedient if the second vortex device is arranged at an acute angle to a wall of the gas inlet hood. An acute angle is understood to mean an angle of less than 45 ° and more than 0.5 °. As a result, a pronounced leading-edge vortex system is produced at the leading edges of the vortex device.

Besonders bevorzugt mündet die Zumischvorrichtung hinter der Anströmkante einer Wirbelvorrichtung. Dadurch können auch sehr einfache Zumischvorrichtungen benutzt werden, wie zum Beispiel ein einfacher Rohrstutzen, der hinter der Anströmkante einer Wirbelvorrichtung mündet. Aufgrund der sich an der Anströmkante bildenden starken und sich in Strömungsrichtung kegelförmig ausweitenden Wirbel, erfolgt so auch bei einer nur punktuellen Zumischung eine sehr gute Vermischung des durch den Rohrstutzen austretenden Konditioniermittels mit dem vorbeiströmenden Gas. Dabei sind auch Ausführungsformen zweckmäßig, bei denen die Zumischvorrichtung unmittelbar an der Wirbelvorrichtung angebracht ist.Particularly preferably, the admixing device opens behind the leading edge of a vortex device. As a result, very simple Zumischvorrichtungen can be used, such as a simple pipe socket, which opens behind the leading edge of a vortex device. Due to the forming at the leading edge strong and widening in the flow direction vortices vortex, so there is a very good mixing of exiting through the pipe stub conditioning with the gas flowing past even with only selective admixture. In this case, embodiments are expedient in which the admixing device is attached directly to the vortex device.

Eine Wirbelvorrichtung sollte wenigstens eine Wirbelscheibe aufweisen. Wirbelscheiben sind hinlänglich bekannt und können kreisförmig, elliptisch, rechteckig oder auch Deltaflügel-förmig ausgeführt sein, wobei Scheiben in gerader oder geknickter Ausführungsform bzw. auch in dreieckigen oder tropfenförmigen Querschnittsausführungen geeignet sind.A whirling device should have at least one vertebral disc. Spinal discs are well known and can be circular, elliptical, rectangular or even delta-wing-shaped, with discs in straight or kinked embodiment or in triangular or teardrop-shaped cross-sectional embodiments are suitable.

Weiterbildend weist eine Wirbelvorrichtung mehrere nebeneinander in einem Strömungsquerschnitt angeordnete Wirbelscheiben auf. Dabei können die Wirbelscheiben miteinander verkettet oder auch einzeln individuell an der Wandung befestigt sein. Auch können so kettenartig um den gesamten Querschnitt herum verlaufende Wirbelvorrichtungen gebildet werden. Das bedeutet, dass bei einem rechteckigen Anströmkanal jeweils mindestens eine Wirbelscheibe oben, unten, links und rechts angeordnet ist.In a further development, a vortex device has a plurality of side-by-side arranged in a flow cross-section vertebrae. In this case, the vertebrae can be linked together or individually attached to the wall individually. Also can be formed like a chain around the entire cross-section running vortex devices. This means that in each case at least one vortex disc is arranged at the top, bottom, left and right in the case of a rectangular inflow channel.

Bevorzugt weist eine Wirbelvorrichtung mehrere kaskadierend angeordnete Wirbelscheiben auf. Unter kaskadierend versteht man hier eine funktionale Abfolge von hintereinander angeordneten Wirbelscheiben. Diese geben somit ein treppenförmig angeordnetes Bild wieder, wobei auch schräg oder diagonal versetzte Anordnungen der einzelnen Wirbelscheiben denkbar sind. Wichtig ist nur, dass der Gasstrom von einer Wirbelscheibe zur nächsten weitergeleitet wird, wobei eine optimale Induktionswirkung auftritt.A vortex device preferably has a plurality of cascading arranged vortex discs. Cascading here means a functional sequence of successively arranged vertebral discs. These thus represent a staircase-shaped image again, with obliquely or diagonally offset arrangements of the individual vertebrae are conceivable. It is only important that the gas flow is forwarded from one vortex disc to the next, whereby an optimal induction effect occurs.

Auch ist es zu bevorzugen, wenn eine Wirbelvorrichtung ein System aus mehreren Wirbelscheiben aufweist. Ein derartiges Wirbelscheibensystem kann zum Beispiel aus einer Mehrzahl von Wirbelscheiben bestehen, die auf einer gemeinsamen Schwenkachse angeordnet sind. So können mehrere Wirbelscheiben gemeinsam in einem zueinander fest definierten funktionalen Zusammenhang in ihrer Wirkungsweise zum Beispiel durch Drehen bzw. Verschwenken verändert werden.It is also preferable if a whirling device comprises a system of several intervertebral discs. Such a vortex plate system may for example consist of a plurality of vortex discs, which are arranged on a common pivot axis. Thus, several vertebrae can be changed together in a mutually firmly defined functional relationship in their mode of action, for example by turning or pivoting.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe auch durch eine Elektrofiltervorrichtung gelöst, die einen Elektrofilter und eine Gaszuführung nach einer der vorher geschilderten Ausführungs- und Weiterbildungsformen aufweist. Diese Elektrofiltervorrichtung zeichnet sich insbesondere durch die Verwendung von Wirbelscheiben in der vorbeschriebenen Art und Weise aus, wodurch sich die bereits in den vorhergehenden Ausführungsformen der Gaszuführung beschriebenen Vorteile ergeben.According to the invention the object is also achieved by an electrostatic filter device having an electrostatic precipitator and a gas supply according to one of the previously described embodiments and further developments. This electrostatic precipitator device is characterized in particular by the use of intervertebral discs in the manner described above, resulting in the advantages already described in the preceding embodiments of the gas supply.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung weiter erläutert. Darin zeigt schematisch:

Fig. 1
einen Längsschnitt durch eine Elektrofiltervorrichtung die einen Elektrofilter und eine Gaszuführung aufweist.
The invention will be further explained with reference to a drawing. In it shows schematically:
Fig. 1
a longitudinal section through an electrostatic filter device having an electric filter and a gas supply.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Elektrofiltervorrichtung 1 hat einen Elektrofilter 2, eine Gaszuführung 3 und einer Gasabführung 4. Die Gaszuführung 3 wird im Betrieb der Elektrofiltervorrichtung 1 von einem zu filternden Gasstrom 5 durchströmt, die diesen aus einer vertikalen in eine im Wesentlichen horizontale Richtung umlenkt und auf den Filter 2 richtet. Im Filter 2 wird der zu filternde Gasstrom 5 dann von darin enthaltenen Partikeln durch die bereits oben erläuterten elektrischen Vorgänge befreit und tritt über die Gasabführung 4 als gefilterter Gasstrom 6 aus der Elektrofiltervorrichtung 1 aus.In the Fig. 1 shown embodiment of the electrostatic filter device 1 according to the invention has an electrostatic precipitator 2, a gas inlet 3 and a gas outlet 4. The gas supply 3 is flowed through during operation of the electrostatic filter device 1 by a gas stream 5 to be filtered, which deflects it from a vertical to a substantially horizontal direction and on directs the filter 2. In the filter 2, the gas stream 5 to be filtered is then freed of particles contained therein by the electrical processes already explained above and exits via the gas outlet 4 as a filtered gas stream 6 from the electrostatic filter device 1.

Die Gaszuführung 3 beinhaltet also in der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform einen vertikalen Anströmkanal 7 mit im Wesentlichen konstantem Strömungsquerschnitt. An den Anströmkanal 7 schließt sich in Hauptströmungsrichtung eine Krümmung 9 des Anströmkanals an. Dabei verändert der zu filternde Gasstrom 5 seine Strömungsrichtung von einer vertikalen hin zu einer horizontalen Richtung.The gas supply 3 thus includes in the embodiment shown here a vertical inflow channel 7 with a substantially constant flow cross-section. At the inflow duct 7, a curvature 9 of the inflow channel adjoins in the main flow direction. In this case, the gas flow 5 to be filtered changes its flow direction from a vertical to a horizontal direction.

Dem gekrümmten Anströmkanalabschnitt 9 folgt dann die Gaseintrittshaube 8, die sich in Richtung des Filters 2 in ihrem Querschnitt aufweitet. Unmittelbar vor dem Elektrofilter 2, also im Bereich der größten Querschnittsfläche der Gaseintrittshaube 8 befindet sich der Strömungsverteiler 10, bei dem es sich hier um ein einfaches Lochblech handelt.The curved Anströmkanalabschnitt 9 then follows the gas inlet hood 8, which widens in the direction of the filter 2 in its cross section. Immediately before the electrostatic filter 2, that is in the region of the largest cross-sectional area of the gas inlet hood 8 is the flow distributor 10, which is a simple perforated plate here.

Im Anströmkanal 7 vor dem gekrümmten Abschnitt 9 ist eine erste Vorderkantenwirbel erzeugende Wirbelvorrichtung 11 angeordnet. Die zweite Vorderkantenwirbel erzeugende Wirbelvorrichtung 12 befindet sich im schmalen Bereich der Gaseintrittshaube 8, also in Strömungsrichtung vor dem Lochblech 10. Beide Wirbelvorrichtungen sind in dem hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils ein einzelnes kreisförmiges Wirbelblech, dass an seiner der Gasströmung zugewandten Seite eine Anströmfläche 13 aufweist. Die Anströmfläche 13 verbindet hierbei die stromaufwärts gerichtete Anströmkante 14 und die stromabwärts gerichtete Abrisskante 15.In the inflow channel 7 in front of the curved portion 9, a first vortex vortex generating vortex device 11 is arranged. The second vortex vortex generating vortex device 12 is located in the narrow region of the gas inlet hood 8, ie in the flow direction in front of the perforated plate 10. In the embodiment shown here, both vortex devices are each a single circular vortex plate that has an inflow surface 13 on its side facing the gas flow. The inflow surface 13 in this case connects the upstream directed inflow edge 14 and the downstream spoiler edge 15.

Dabei ist das erste Wirbelblech 11 vor der Krümmung 9 so angeordnet, dass die Anströmfläche 13 sich in Strömungsrichtung von der Krümmungsaußenseite 21 zur Krümmungsinnenseite 22 der Krümmung 9 erstreckt. Bei der hier dargestellten sehr scharfen Krümmung 9 ist die Krümmungsaußenseite 21 also das schräg nach oben stehende Blech, während die Krümmungsinnenseite 22 der Ecke bzw. dem Übergang zwischen Anströmkanal 7 und Gaseintrittshaube 8 entspricht.Here, the first vortex plate 11 is arranged in front of the curvature 9 so that the inflow surface 13 extends in the flow direction from the curvature outer side 21 to the curvature inner side 22 of the curvature 9. In the case of the very sharp curvature 9 shown here, the curvature outside 21 is thus the obliquely upward-standing plate, while the curvature inside 22 corresponds to the corner or the transition between inflow channel 7 and gas inlet cap 8.

Konkret ist das erste Wirbelblech 11 so angeordnet, dass die Anströmkante 14 nach unten, also gegen die zu filternden Gasströmung 5, gerichtet ist und die Abrisskante 15 nach oben weist. Die Anströmfläche 13 verläuft also im dargestellten Längsschnitt von der Anströmkante 14 schräg nach oben zur Abrisskante 15.Specifically, the first vortex plate 11 is arranged so that the leading edge 14 is directed downward, ie against the gas flow to be filtered 5, and the tear-off edge 15 faces upward. The inflow surface 13 thus extends in the illustrated longitudinal section of the leading edge 14 obliquely upward to the trailing edge 15th

An dieser schräg angeströmten Wirbelvorrichtung 11 bildet sich hinter der Anströmkante 14 ein ausgeprägtes Vorderkantenwirbelsystem 16, welches sich von der Anströmkante 14 in Hauptströmungsrichtung 5 vertikal nach oben ausbreitet. Dabei vergrößert sich der Durchmesser der Vorderkantenwirbel 16 quer zur Hauptströmungsrichtung der Gasströmung 5. Entsprechendes gilt auch für das zweite Wirbelblech 12, wo sich ebenfalls ein Vorderkantenwirbelsystem 17 ausbildet, wobei das Vorderkantenwirbelsystem 17 im Wesentlichen auf das Lochblech 10 zuströmend nahezu horizontal ausgerichtet ist.At this obliquely impinged vortex device 11 forms behind the leading edge 14, a pronounced leading edge vortex system 16, which propagates from the leading edge 14 in the main flow direction 5 vertically upwards. The same applies to the second vortex plate 12, where also forms a leading edge vortex system 17, wherein the leading edge vortex system 17 is substantially aligned on the perforated plate 10 almost horizontally aligned.

Zur gleichmäßigen Umlenkung der Gaströmung 5 von der Vertikalen in Richtung der Horizontalen befinden sich in der Gaseintrittshaube 8 im oberen Bereich Umlenkbleche 18 herkömmlicher gekrümmter Bauart. Sie ergänzen lediglich den bereits durch die Wirbelvorrichtung 11 erzeugte Richtungsänderung der Gasströmung und dienen insbesondere nicht der Verwirbelung.For uniform deflection of the gas flow 5 from the vertical in the direction of the horizontal are located in the gas inlet hood 8 at the top of baffles 18 conventional curved design. They merely supplement the change in direction of the gas flow already generated by the vortex device 11 and in particular do not serve to swirl.

Zur Konditionierung des zu filternden Gases 5 ist im Anströmkanal 7 und zwar im Bereich der Anströmkante 14 des ersten Wirbelblechs 11 ein Rohrstutzen 19 angeordnet, durch den ein Konditioniermittel 20 in den Anströmkanal eingespritzt werden kann. Aufgrund der starken Verwirbelung der Gasströmung in dem sich stromabwärts ausbreitenden Wirbel 16 erfolgt so eine besonders gute Durchmischung des Gases mit dem Konditioniermittel 20, so dass eine aufwendige mehrdüsige Zumischvorrichtung entfallen kann. Dies senkt den Strömungswiderstand und die Herstellungskosten und macht die Zumischvorrichtung 19 weniger anfällig für Störungen, die sich zum Beispiel aus Staubablagerungen ergeben.For conditioning of the gas to be filtered 5, a pipe stub 19 is arranged in the inflow duct 7, specifically in the region of the inflow edge 14 of the first vortex plate 11, through which a conditioning agent 20 can be injected into the inflow channel. Due to the strong turbulence of the gas flow in the downstream spreading vortex 16 so there is a particularly good mixing of the gas with the conditioning agent 20, so that a complex Mehrdüsige admixing can be omitted. This lowers flow resistance and manufacturing costs and makes the admixing device 19 less prone to disturbances resulting, for example, from dust deposits.
