Definitions

  • the invention relates to a continuous steam generator with a combustion chamber with a number of burners for fossil fuel and a surrounding gas-tight welded steam generator tubes formed Um Permanentswand, the combustion chamber is connected downstream of the gas side gas in a higher area via a Horizon- talgaszug a vertical gas train, wherein the vertical gas train facing part the Um chargedswand is inclined inwardly below the horizontal gas flue and thereby forms with the bottom of the adjacent horizontal gas flue a nose projecting into the combustion chamber.

  • Steam temperatures and pressures steam generators are usually designed as a water tube boiler, d. h.,
  • the supplied water flows in a number of tubes which receive the energy in the form of radiant heat of the burner flames and / or by convection of the resulting during combustion flue gas.
  • the steam generator tubes usually form the combustion chamber wall by being welded together in a gas-tight manner.
  • the combustion chamber downstream side of the combustion chamber arranged Dampfampfererrohe can be provided in the exhaust duct.
  • Fossil fueled steam generators can be categorized by a variety of criteria: Steam generators may generally be designed as natural, forced circulation or continuous flow steam generators. In a continuous steam generator, the heating of a number of evaporator tubes leads to a complete Evaporation of the flow medium in the evaporator tubes in one go.
  • the flow medium - usually water - is supplied to the evaporator tubes downstream superheater tubes after its evaporation and overheated there. This description is strictly valid only for partial loads with subcritical pressure of water (P Kri «221 bar) in the evaporator. For the sake of clarity, however, this illustration will be used throughout the following description.
  • the position of the evaporation end point ie the location at which the water content of the flow is completely evaporated, is variable and mode-dependent.
  • the evaporation end point is located, for example, in an end region of the evaporator tubes, so that the overheating of the vaporized flow medium already begins in the evaporator tubes.
  • a continuous steam generator In contrast to a natural or forced circulation steam generator, a continuous steam generator is not subject to any pressure limitation, so that it can be designed for live steam pressures far above the critical pressure of water.
  • such a continuous steam generator is usually operated with a minimum flow of flow medium in the evaporator tubes in order to ensure reliable cooling of the evaporator tubes.
  • a minimum flow of flow medium in the evaporator tubes in order to ensure reliable cooling of the evaporator tubes.
  • the pure mass flow through the evaporator usually no longer suffices for cooling the evaporator tubes, so that an additional throughput of flow medium is superimposed on the passage of flow medium through the evaporator in circulation.
  • the operationally provided minimum flow of flow medium in the evaporator tubes is thus not fully evaporated during startup or during low load operation in the evaporator tubes, so that in such a mode at the end of the evaporator tubes still unvaporized flow medium, in particular a water-steam mixture is present.
  • the evaporator tubes of the continuous steam generator are usually designed for a flow through unvaporised flow medium after flowing through the combustion chamber walls, continuous steam generators are usually designed so that even when starting and in low load operation, water ingress into the superheater tubes is reliably avoided.
  • the evaporator tubes are usually connected to the superheater tubes connected downstream via a water separation system.
  • the water separator causes a separation of the emerging during the start or in low load operation of the evaporator tubes water-steam mixture in water and in steam.
  • the steam is supplied to the water separator downstream superheater tubes, whereas the separated water can be fed back to the evaporator tubes, for example via a circulating pump or discharged through a decompressor.
  • steam generators may continue to be classified, for example, into vertical and horizontal types.
  • a draw-in and two-pass boiler are distinguished.
  • the flue gas produced by the combustion in the combustion chamber always flows vertically from bottom to top. All arranged in the flue gas heating surfaces are flue gas side above the combustion chamber. Tower boilers offer a comparatively simple construction and easy control of the stresses caused by the thermal expansion of the tubes. Furthermore, all heating surfaces of the steam generator pipes arranged in the flue gas duct are horizontal and therefore completely drainable, which may be desirable in frost-prone environments.
  • the walls are usually arranged hanging in a boiler stand, so that they can expand freely during heating during operation downwards.
  • the two-steam generator usually comprises four walls per train, in which care must be taken to ensure that the walls of the individual trains extend uniformly, since otherwise unacceptable stresses can occur in the connections of the individual walls.
  • Such Zweugugkessel often include a so-called combustion chamber nose.
  • This nose is a projection which is formed from the combustion chamber wall inclined inwardly at the transition to the horizontal gas flue and the bottom of the horizontal flue.
  • Such a combustion chamber nose improves the flow of the flue gas at the transition to the horizontal gas flue.
  • Another possibility is to divide the tubes of the combustion chamber rear wall at the lower end of the nose flow medium side, so that a part of the tubes is fed into the nose of the nose, another part parallel to it vertically to the boiler frame. But this is only a part of the tubes and the flow medium for the nose available, which can sometimes lead to insufficient cooling of the nose, as this has a relatively high heat input by their exposed position in the combustion chamber. In contrast, the heat input for the removed, vertically upwardly guided support tubes is correspondingly lower, which can cause problems in terms of the distribution of the mass flow. All wall pipes above the nose and the support tubes should have the same possible steam temperatures at the outlet. Furthermore, a complex transition into the nose tube z. B. by changing the pipe pitch or other tube geometry required.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a continuous steam generator of the type mentioned above, which has a simplified construction with a particularly high reliability during operation.
  • This object is achieved by at least part of the steam generator tubes of the nose at the upper end of a number of support tubes downstream of the flow medium side, which are guided substantially vertically to the lower end of the nose.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that a particularly simple technical construction of a continuous steam generator in Zweizugbauweise would be possible if the suspension of the rear wall could happen especially in the nose by vertically arranged support tubes and thus no additional springs or constant hanger are necessary.
  • care should be taken to ensure that the nose is adequately cooled due to the high heat input.
  • the largest possible part of the tubes of the lower region of the rear wall of the combustion chamber should be led into the nose, so that almost the entire medium flow is available for cooling the nose.
  • complicated distribution systems or separate nose drills as a remedy mean that additional technical design effort is required.
  • At least a portion of the tubes should be performed against the usual flow direction of the bore of the combustion chamber from top to bottom only at the upper end of the nose. These tubes can then serve as support tubes for the rear wall when connected to the lower end of the nose.
  • a further part of the steam generator tubes of the nose at the upper end of a number of support tubes downstream of the flow medium side, which are guided substantially vertically to a ceiling of the combustion chamber.
  • support tubes are also available which connect the nose and the lower part of the combustion chamber, which is connected to the nose, with the ceiling and thus ensure reliability. sige suspension. Since these support tubes are flowed through with flow medium, they expand as well as the other parts of the combustion chamber and there is a uniform expansion of all four combustion chamber walls and there are no undue stresses on the connections of the walls.
  • all steam generator tubes of the vertical gas train facing part of the surrounding wall flow medium side steam generator tubes downstream of the nose. This ensures that the entire flow medium from the combustion chamber rear wall or its lower steam generator tubes flows into the nose and thus ensures sufficient cooling of the nose. Because of its exposed position inside the combustion chamber, the nose has a particularly high heat input.
  • the support tubes guided to the lower end of the nose are followed by a collector located in the region of the lower end of the nose.
  • This collector can then collect the branched off for the support tubes flow medium and continue to provide the system via an appropriate forwarding available.
  • the branched off for the support tubes medium flow to the other steam generator tubes of the upper portion of the combustion chamber is connected in parallel and fed back to the system.
  • a full use of the medium flow of the support tubes is possible.
  • the advantages associated with the invention are, in particular, that the flow-side connection of a number of support tubes, which are guided substantially vertically to the lower end of the nose, against at least part of the steam generator tubes of the nose at its upper end a particularly simple technical construction while high operational reliability of the steam generator is possible.
  • steam boiler tubes are used to load transfer through the boiler frame and no separate constructions such as constant hanger used, on the other hand, this construction provides the entire water-steam flow of the rear wall for the nose and it is ensured sufficient cooling of the combustion chamber.
  • this construction provides the entire water-steam flow of the rear wall for the nose and it is ensured sufficient cooling of the combustion chamber.
  • in the tube walls largely the same temperatures occur, without a separate and elaborate bore of the nose or a complicated transition with changes in the geometry of the tubes would be required.
  • the continuous steam generator 1 according to FIG. 1 comprises a combustion chamber 2 designed as a vertical gas train, which is followed by a horizontal gas train 6 in an upper region 4. At the horizontal gas train 6, another vertical gas train 8 connects.

  • the surrounding wall 12 of the combustion chamber 2 is formed from vapor-generator tubes which are welded together in a gas-tight manner and into which a flow medium is conveyed by means of a pump (not shown). The water is pumped in, which is heated by the heat generated by the burners.
  • the steam generator tubes can be aligned either spirally or vertically. In a spiral arrangement, a comparatively higher design effort is required; instead, the resulting imbalances - different mass flows and temperatures of the flow medium in pipes connected in parallel - are comparatively lower than in the case of vertically combusted combustion chamber 2.
  • the continuous steam generator 1 further comprises, to improve the flue gas duct, a nose 14, which merges directly into the bottom 16 of the horizontal gas flue 6 and projects into the combustion chamber 2. Due to its exposed position in the interior of the combustion chamber 2, the nose 14 has a particularly high heat input and should therefore have a particularly high throughput of flow medium, so that care is taken to ensure adequate cooling of the nose 14.
  • the trains of the steam generator 1 are arranged suspended in a frame 18, so that the trains of the steam generator 1 can expand unhindered when heated down. So that the walls of the combustion chamber 2 of the steam generator 1 are as uniform as possible, all surrounding walls 12 of the combustion chamber 2 should have approximately the same temperature, so that a uniform heating and expansion takes place.
