Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention are generally related to band clamps used to secure protective shielding onto tubes, pipes, or other structures (hereinafter “tubes”) used in high temperature and harsh environments.
  • the band clamps employ a protective guard that helps maintain the integrity of the band clamp.
  • the band clamps described herein may be secured about the shield using an easy to use hand-held tensioning tool.
  • Fuel burning power plants employ steam generating boilers that remove heat from exhaust generated by the combustion of coal, oil, gas, or other fuel.
  • the heat obtained from the exhaust is used to produce steam by transferring heat from hot, fast-moving exhaust gases to water or other heat transfer fluid flowing in a series of horizontally or vertically oriented tubes that are positioned in the path of the exhaust.
  • Such exhaust contains heated gas and significant particulate in the form of carbon, acidic materials, caustic materials, etc. that contact the tubes at high speed. Further, over time, the tubes often become coated or caked with soot, an insulator, which adversely affects heat transfer and boiler performance.
  • the soot is removed by soot blowers that employ a series of nozzles that direct high speed steam at the tubes to remove the soot.
  • the tubes are protected by a contoured shield that covers the outer surface of the tube.
  • the shield covers and protects approximately one-half of the surface of the tube, namely the surface of the tube that is in the direct path of the particulate generated by the furnace.
  • Shields commonly protect an area defined by the length of the tube and about 120 to 220 degrees about the tube's outer surface.
  • a plurality of shields are abutted or interlocked to protect longer tube spans.
  • shields are configured such that their inner surface snuggly and fully engages the outer surface of the tube.
  • the tubes are held in place by support members including straps, hose clamps, metal bands, or by other methods known in the art, which may be welded or otherwise interconnected to the shield. In some applications the shield is welded directly to the tube. Because the support members are also exposed to high temperatures and the same abrasive conditions as the tubes, it is desirable to protect support members from particulate impingement and increased heat which, over time, may lead to failure and cause the shield to separate from the tube thereby exposing the tube to the abrasive conditions.
  • Band clamps are generally comprised of a band having a free end and an opposing end having a buckle, or other member, for receiving the free end.
  • the band is wrapped about the tube and associated shield and the free end is placed within a buckle.
  • a powered or hand-operated tool is used to tension the band about the shield.
  • the buckle and band are interconnected or interlocked, and excess band length extending from the buckle is severed from the band at a point adjacent to the buckle.
  • the buckle is typically positioned behind the shielded tube away from the abrasive flow.
  • the interconnection between the band and the buckle is a prime yielding spot, and as such, it is desirable to place the interlocking portion of the band clamp in a location where it will be exposed to less heat and debris.
  • an operator or installer is instructed to position the buckle on the downstream side of the tube out of the direct path of particulate.
  • the size of the tubes and spacing between tubes often render it very difficult for an operator to properly locate the tensioning tool behind or on the downstream side of the shielded tube.
  • the cutting operation performed by existing tools is not very precise and the sharp severed portion of the band often injures installers as they try to tension nearby bands or work in the vicinity of these bands.
  • Band clamps of embodiments of the present invention include a free end and an opposing end, which includes a buckle for receiving and securing the band.
  • the band is wrapped at least once around a shield and tube and the free end is placed within the buckle. Transitioning and locking the band securely engages the shield in contacting relation to the tube so that efficient heat transfer can occur across the thickness of the shield and the tube.
  • the band clamp used in one embodiment of the present invention will provide a retained force of about 400-900 lbs. with a looped tensile force of about 1,750 lbs.
  • the protective guard used by some embodiments protects the band clamp from hot, high-speed, particulate-laden exhaust gasses.
  • the guard may be made of a material that is capable of withstanding temperatures up to about 880° F and which is similar to that of the band clamp so that efficient heat transfer to the tube and inner coolant will occur across the thickness of the guard and the band.
  • the guard is made of 310 stainless steel, carbon steel, inconel, or other similar material and is about 0.090 inches thick.
  • the material of manufacture, thickness, width, material properties, etc. of the guard may vary as a function of shield and band clamp size, material, etc.
  • the guard is made of a material that is easy to conform to the outer shape of the shield, i.e., bend into a curved shape, to facilitate engagement with a curved band clamp that is to be positioned about a shielded tube.
  • the guards may be pre-bent or otherwise formed.
  • the guard of some embodiments is adhered, bonded, or welded to, or otherwise interconnected to the band clamp.
  • the guard possesses openings that receive the free end of the band to facilitate interconnection of the band clamp and shield, which will be apparent upon review of the figures discussed below. In this way, it is ensured that the guard is correctly associated with the band clamps. It is another aspect of the present invention to provide a guard that is easy to install as band clamps are sometimes used in hard-to-access places.
  • the guard be able to accommodate band clamps of various types and/or sizes. More specifically, as the tubes used in heat recovery steam generators vary in size, so must the band clamps that secure the shields to the tubes. Accordingly, in another embodiment of this invention, the width of the guard is large enough that a variety of band clamps of different widths may be used and not exposed to abrasive material in the flow stream.
  • a commonly used tool employs a cutting member having an opening for receipt of the free end of the band. The opening is further defined by upper and lower cutting members that selectively move together to sever the band. After passing through the opening, the free end of the band is associated with a winding mandrel and tensioned. After a predetermined tension is reached, the cutting mechanism is used to sever and bend the band at a point adjacent to the buckle.
  • an automated tensioning tool employs a powered winding mandrel.
  • the tool is battery powered, but one of skill in the art will appreciate that the tool may receive the required power by way of a cord or be hydraulically driven.
  • the power source associated with the tool of one embodiment is a replaceable battery that allows for the installation of about 60 to 70 band clamps.
  • the mandrel is interconnected to a rotary shaft by way of a gearing system that ensures that the proper tension will be applied to the band.
  • the cutting mechanism of embodiments of the present invention extends laterally from the longitudinal axis of the mandrel as opposed to coaxial therewith. Initiation of mandrel winding is accomplished by depression of a button located on or near the hand grip. After the band reaches a predetermined tension, an easy- to-access cutter mechanism is used to sever the free end of the band.
  • the predetermined amount of tension may be controlled by a clutch that will slip, thereby preventing further tensioning, when a preset tension level is reached.
  • the cutter mechanism of some embodiments has the advantage of decreasing the amount of severed band extending from the buckle and thereby reducing exposure to the cut edge.
  • the gear box of embodiments of the present invention produces the required increase in torque.
  • It is another aspect of the present invention to provide a band tensioning and cutting tool comprising: a power source for providing rotational movement to a shaft; a gear box mechanically associated with the shaft; a rotating mandrel associated with the gear box wherein rotation of the shaft will rotate the mandrel, the mandrel adapted to receive a band and tension the same, the gear box having a means for preventing over tensioning the band; and a cutting mechanism positioned adjacent to the mandrel, the cutting mechanism also adapted to receive a portion of the band.
  • a band tensioning and cutting tool comprising: a drill having a rotating shaft; a gear box interconnected to the drill with an adapter, the gear box operatively associated with a winding mandrel such that rotation of the shaft rotates the mandrel, and a clutch that prevents over tensioning the band; and a cutting mechanism positioned adjacent to the mandrel, the cutting mechanism also adapted to receive a portion of the band.
  • an Ultra-Lok® band clamp which is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,014,792 (which is incorporated by reference herein), or similar band clamp is used to secure the shield to the tube.
  • the contemplated tool tensions the band to such a degree that even if the retained force decreases over time as a result of repeated heat cycles, the shield will remain securely engaged onto the tube.
  • the guarded band clamp of one embodiment will function for about 5 to 8 years.
  • the band tension provided by the band will overcome bent or deformed shields and force the shield to conform to the exterior shape of the shield and the tube. Such functionality ensures that the shield is in contact with the tube, thereby increasing heat transfer.
  • a ratcheting mechanism employs a toothed wheel that is rotatable in only one direction. Rotation in an opposite direction is prevented by interaction between the toothed wheel with a movable pawl.
  • the tool and associated gear box of embodiments of the present invention do not have such limitation because tensioning increments are very small or non-existent and are provided by a one way clutch bearing.
  • the system of one embodiment includes a band clamp, an associated guard, and a tool for tensioning the guarded band clamp about a shielded tube of a boiler.
  • the system of one embodiment of the present invention works with about 1 to 4 inch diameter tubes that are about 0.1 to 0.3 in. (about 3, 5, and 7 mm) thick that protect 180 degrees of the tube.
  • a combination band clamp and guard comprising: a band clamp comprised of a band having a buckle associated with one end and a free end; a guard having a first end and a second end, the first end of the guard located adjacent to the buckle and the second end spaced from the first end wherein the guard contacts at least a portion of the band.
  • It is still yet another aspect of the present invention to provide a method of shielding a tube comprising: providing a shield about at least a portion of the tube; providing a band clamp having a first free end and a second end having a buckle; providing a clamp guard interconnected to the band clamp; placing the band clamp and guard about the shield; placing the free end of the band into the buckle; and pulling the free end of the band relative to the buckle to tensioned band about the shield.

  • the cutting mechanism 138 is equipped with a feature that catches the buckle and will not allow the buckle to move away from the cutting mechanism during cutoff. The cutting mechanism pushes down on the buckle which forces the band down against the blade and a shear plate to sever the band. As the band is severed, the band also stretches which allows room for the buckle to move away from the blade and shear plate. The buckle catch on the cutting mechanism will not allow the buckle to move away from the blade and shear plate which improves cut-off. That is, the blade maintains proper alignment between the cutting planes of the blade and the buckle to perform cuts under no tension as a one-way bearing in the gear box will maintain band tension when winding is ceased.
