Definitions

  • the invention relates to a firing device, with a burner that burns fuel and thereby generates hot combustion gases, with flue gas passages through which the combustion gases are passed from the burner, with heat exchanger surfaces in the flues, with which heat from the combustion gas is transferable to a heat transfer medium, with a cleaning device with which combustion residues from the heat exchanger surfaces can be cleaned.
  • Continuously operated industrial furnaces must be freed from incineration residues from time to time. This applies to solid fuel firing as well as pellet firing or wood firing. Particularly in the case of solids firing, larger quantities of ash, soot or slag or other combustion residues can form. These residues are deposited on surfaces of heat exchangers of the furnace. By this deposition, the heat transfer is hindered, which is to be done in the heat exchanger, usually called heat exchanger, from the furnace to a heat transfer medium.
  • This heat transfer medium is usually water or a fluid composed of water.
  • a boiler is charged with pellets.
  • these pellets are burned, with a flame in one Burning post-combustion ring or other downstream elements into it.
  • These flue gases are led into flues.
  • the flue gases are possibly redirected several times. They run over heat exchanger surfaces, which can be quite complex depending on the concrete structure.
  • the combustion air can be routed horizontally over entire or partial sections and the flues can be constructed very compact. In this leadership of the combustion air can also be elements for different purposes.
  • Such a pellet boiler is freed about once a day via a vibrator via an eccentric engine of combustion residues on the heat exchanger surfaces in the flue gas trains.
  • the elements in the flue gas trains such as cleaning springs, are to be considered. Due to gravity, the residues fall into a collecting container, which is significantly less thermally stressed compared to the hot combustion zone. From the collection container can then be transported via a transport device, e.g. a screw conveyor, the combustion residues are transported to a collection container.
  • Vibrating devices also have the disadvantage of occasionally transmitting vibrations very far, which is not desirable acoustically.
  • Mechanically vibrating devices are very complex, relatively expensive and due to the required moving parts also error prone.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose an improvement for the purification of combustion residues in industrial furnaces.
  • the cleaning device is a nozzle arrangement has, with the compressed air is periodically and / or at desired times blown over the heat exchanger surfaces, which stirs up the combustion residues, and that a suction device is provided which sucks the fluidized combustion residues.
  • the cherries exclusivelytrager- or exchange surfaces of a furnace for example, with a pellet boiler by means of injection of compressed air automatically and periodically cleaned.
  • the combustion residues, which are stirred up by the compressed air can also be extracted at a suitable point at the same time, without the combustion gases escaping into the installation space.
  • a pellet boiler which is a low-temperature boiler.
  • the pellet boiler with its combustion chamber, the combustion gases leading flues and the heat exchanger surfaces is surrounded by a large storage tank.
  • the storage container contains the heat transfer medium.
  • a so-called thermo ring is provided. This is a cylindrical, with a fluid, in particular a liquid, filled jacket. The heat from the combustion gases is therefore first released via the heat exchanger surfaces of the fluid in this thermo ring and then from this to the heat transfer medium in the memory.
  • the cleaning device can be used in particular in a compact integrated in the memory pellet boiler, which can be compared to the prior art also reduced to a much smaller size of only one-third.
  • the combustion chamber of the boiler can preferably be made interchangeable via a flange on the memory.
  • the leadership of the combustion air is preferably carried out horizontally in two trains, so that it is possible that the fuel supply and the exhaust gas removal takes place from one side into the memory.
  • It may be a boiler for hot water production, a furnace for hot air generation, or a furnace for process purposes.
  • a welded-on nozzle channel is used on an exhaust gas ring channel.
  • a Stirling engine in addition to the combustion chamber, a Stirling engine is used for cogeneration. Especially with such a combination it can be used that hot flue gases for operation the Stirling engine can be provided with good efficiency available, which is supported by the cleaning possible with the invention of this good efficiency and also the automatic operation of the Stirling Engine is favored by the fact that a mechanical cleaning is no longer required.
  • FIG. 1 shows in schematic form a firing device according to the invention.
  • This firing device 10 serves to heat a heat transfer medium 21 in a storage tank 20.
  • the firing device 10 has a burner 11 which generates a flame 12.
  • the burner 11 burns, for example, a solid fuel (not shown), for example pellets.
  • the flame 12 burns in the illustrated embodiment after leaving a horizontally oriented flame tube 13 horizontally in a combustion chamber insert 14, in the FIG. 1 to the right.
  • the combustion chamber insert 14 is constructed approximately cylindrical.
  • thermo ring He is filled with a fluid, in particular a liquid.
  • this fluid in the cylindrical shell 18 the heat exchanger surfaces 16, the absorbed heat energy from.
  • This fluid in the thermo ring in turn then gives the heat energy to the heat transfer medium 21 in the storage container 20 from.
  • the interposition of the thermo ring or the cylindrical shell 18 has the purpose to prevent too cold a liquid in the memory that a condensation of components from the combustion gases 15 takes place on the heat exchanger surfaces 16 and thereby possibly affect the cleaning.
  • a cleaning device 30 is provided at the end of the annular space with the heat exchanger surfaces 16, at which the exhaust gas duct 17 branches off.
  • This cleaning device 30 has a nozzle arrangement 31, which in the illustrated embodiment is a nozzle ring.
  • This nozzle assembly 31 with the nozzle ring carries a series of nozzles that can deliver compressed air into the annulus.
  • This nozzle arrangement 31 with the nozzle ring is arranged shortly before the diversion of the exhaust gas channel 17 from the annular space with the heat exchanger surfaces 16 and the heat transfer ribs and in particular directly welded.
  • a control device (not shown) is provided, for example, periodically once a day in a particular situation compressed air from the Nozzle assembly 31 with the nozzle ring in the annulus with the heat exchanger surfaces 16 blows.
  • a suction device which has a solenoid valve 32 and a suction tube 33.
  • the suction pipe 33 is connected to a vacuum cleaner (not shown).
