Description
- The present invention is related to a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler, including a reactor where the solid particles are fluidized and where chemical reactions and/or combustion reactions can take place. The circulating fluidized regime enhances the mixing of particles along with potential exothermic or endothermic chemical reactions.
- The furnace of a conventional fluidized bed boiler is defined by four external side walls, a bottom and a roof and potentially inner walls to ensure the sealing with the outside if multiple fluidizing grates are used. All the walls constitute an ash-tight enclosure in which the solid particles including the fuel material are fluidized.
- Air is introduced into the furnace to fluidize the solid particles and also brings the needed oxygen for combustion. Two air streams can be used. Primary air is mostly used to fluidize the particles, flows through the fluidizing grate which constitutes the bottom of the furnace. Secondary air is the additional air required for a complete combustion and is introduced through several ports located over the external side walls and/or inner walls if the bottom part of the furnace comprises a dual fluidizing grate and whose shape can be described like a pant leg.
- The furnace enclosure is usually made of gastight panels formed with finned tubes. The heat released from the combustion of fuel is transferred to water or steam flowing inside the tubes and also allowing the tubes to be cooled. When increasing the capacity of the boiler, the overall surface of the furnace enclosure cannot match the total heat released from the combustion and additional surfaces have to be implemented either in the furnace and/or potentially in external devices of the furnace that are supplied with the solid particles escaping the furnace and collected by the cyclones before returning to the furnace. Increasing the height of the furnace may be also considered but this solution is not cost-effective and can result in mechanical problems or worst performances.
- Wing walls or U-shaped panels can be implemented for increasing the heating surface in the furnace. Wing walls are usually made of panels with totally or partly finned tubes and are laid out in a vertical area. A header is usually located at the top of the wing and a header is usually located at the bottom of the wing. The panels cross the vertical side wall of furnace with a gastight connection which prevents any displacement of panels over the crossing zone with the side wall. The panels also cross the roof where a vertical displacement due to the thermal expansion is allowed via the expansion joint.
- A U-shaped panel is made of two panels with or without finned tubes that are laid out in a vertical plan and are connected at one of their extremities by tubes for ensuring a continuous path for the fluid. The fluid inside the tubes flows down through the first panel and flows up through the second panel after being returned into the bottom of the U shape. A U-shaped panel is usually not drainable due to the location of the headers which are at the top of panel. When using a U-shaped panel in the CFB furnace the inlet and outlet headers can be located above the roof so that the tip of the U-shaped panel is free to displace in all the horizontal directions. A fluidizing regime can lead to vibrations of the U-shaped panel which leads to mechanical failures. The magnitude of the displacement is linked to the height of the U-panel so that the risk of failure due to vibration increases with the height of U-shaped panel.
- Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a circulating fluidized bed boiler as to solve the above-described problems.
- The object mentioned above is accomplished by a circulating fluidized bed boiler comprising a combustion chamber comprising:
- first heat transfer surfaces forming at least one vertical chamber extending from a lower part of the combustion chamber, and
- second heat transfer surfaces having an inlet part and an outlet part which extend both from an upper part of the combustion chamber, said second heat transfer surfaces being fixed to vertical chambers.
- Every vertical chamber is preferably made of gastight panels formed with finned tubes and every second heat transfer surface can be made of tube panels. According to the invention, each second heat transfer surface is U-shaped.
- The combustion chamber being defined by side walls, a roof and a bottom, the first heat transfer surfaces can extend from the bottom or from inclined walls joining the bottom and the second heat transfer surfaces can extend from the roof of the combustion chamber. The second heat transfer surfaces could alternatively extend from an upper part of the side walls. According to the invention, every U-shaped second heat transfer surface comprises two vertical parts that are fixed at their lower extremity to a chamber.
- Each U-shaped second heat transfer surface can extend downwards at least 40% of the height of the combustion chamber, and preferably between 40 and 70% of the height of the combustion chamber. This high extension rate is made possible thanks to the specific heat transfer structure according to the invention.
- Several second heat transfer surfaces can be fixed to the same vertical chamber.
- Every second heat transfer surface can pass through the chamber.
- The part of the second heat transfer surface that is located inside the chamber preferably comprises at least one bended portion.
- The second heat transfer surface can be made of tube panels, the tubes entering and leaving the vertical chamber in a direction parallel to a vertical axis of symmetry of the second heat transfer surface (for instance the longitudinal axe in the case the horizontal cross-section of the vertical chamber is a rectangle), and the tubes can have a first bended portion on one side of the axis of symmetry followed by a second bended portion on the other side of the axis of symmetry.
- The horizontal cross-section of the vertical chamber can be a polygon (for instance a rectangle) or a circle.
- Each second heat transfer surface can comprise a bottle for draining the condensates during the start-up of the boiler.

Figure 1 illustrates a fluidized bed reactor having an exemplary structure according to the present invention. The main parts of theboiler 1 are thefurnace 2 and theparticle separators 3. Thefurnace 2 is defined byside walls 4, abottom 5 and aroof 6. Thefurnace 2 is provided with ports for feeding fuel and other bed material, e.g. sand and limestone. Thebottom 5 of thefurnace 2 is provided with means for supplying air for fluidizing the bed material. The lower portion of thefurnace 2 is also provided with ducts for supplying secondary air. - By means of the air deliveries to the
boiler 1 the combustion of fuel is maintained. Ash and bed material are discharged together with the fluidizing air and flue gases through ducts to theseparators 3, where most part of the solid material is separated from the flue gases and returned through a return pipe to the lower portion of thefurnace 2. - The
side walls 4 of the furnace can be formed of tube panels consisting of finned tubes not shown in detail in the figure. The energy released from the combustion of fuel is used for vaporizing the water flowing in the tubes of theside walls 4. - Inside the furnace there are
chambers 7, for instance gas-tight chambers, made of tube walls extending from thebottom 5 of thefurnace 2 to the top thereof. The walls of thechambers 7 are made of tube panels, the tubes of which are joined to feed pipes below the furnace and to header pipes above the furnace. Inside thechambers 7 there are preferably means for supplying secondary air and fuel to the center part of thefurnace 2. Thechambers 7 can be spaced away from theside walls 4 and arranged separately within thefurnace 2, for the furnace volume to be free for the particles to move even in the proximity ofsaid chambers 7. - The
chambers 7 can extend from thebottom 5 of thefurnace 2, or, as illustrated infigure 1 , can extend from an inclined wall of a pant-leg configuration, i.e. a configuration in which inclined walls extend upwards thebottom 5. The pant-leg design is typical for higher capacity boilers because it allows for better secondary air penetration, maintaining good air-coal mixing as well as efficient combustion. The pant-leg structured CFB boiler features two separated legs with solid particles fluidized by independent primary air supplies. - The possible shapes of the
chambers 7 are illustrated infigure 3 . The cross-section of the chambers can be a rectangle, a circle or a polygon. - The
furnace 2 further includesU-shaped panels 8 made of tubes and which are heating or superheating surfaces. Thepanels 8 are supported by headers located above theroof 6. In addition, the bottoms of thepanels 8 are fixed to thechambers 7. This fixation makes it possible to prevent horizontal displacements of the bottom part of thepanels 8. - As illustrated in
Figure 2 , everyU-shaped panel 8 is constituted of two L-shaped parts that are each fixed at a wall of achamber 7. - The free space inside the box can be used for implementing a
bottle 10 to drain the condensates during the start-up of the boiler. Adrain pipe 11 is fitted to the bottom of thebottle 10 to evacuate the condensates (Figure 4 ). - As the
U-shaped panel 8 is fixed to thechamber 7 over two different zones, the tubes of thepanel 8 can be bended inside the box to make up for the difference of thermal expansion between thechamber 7 and thepanel 8. As illustrated inFigure 5 , the tubes can enter and leave the chamber in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axe of the rectangle, the tubes having a first bended portion on one side of the longitudinal axe followed by a second bended portion on the other side of the longitudinal axe. For instance, the tubes can have an inlet portion that is parallel to the longitudinal axe of the rectangle, followed by a first bended portion deflecting from the longitudinal axe on one side (for instance on the left-hand side), followed by a second bended portion deflecting from the longitudinal axe on the other side (on the right-hand side), followed by an outlet portion that is parallel to the longitudinal axe of the rectangle. The inlet portion and the first bended portion can be located in one half length of the rectangle whereas the second bended portion and the outlet portion can be located in the other half length of the rectangle. -
Figure 6 illustrates a first embodiment of theboiler 1. In this embodiment, everypanel 8 is connected to achamber 7 along with a dual grate design. - According to a second embodiment,
panels 8 connected tochambers 7 alternate withpanels 9 which are not connected to a chamber (Figure 7 ). - As illustrated in
Figure 8 , and according to a third embodiment,several panels 8 are connected to eachchamber 7.
