Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swirling type fluidized bed furnace forming a moving layer and a fluidized layer for waste disposal.
  • a fluidized bed furnace As a device disposing waste while suppressing occurrence of an unburned material, a fluidized bed furnace is known.
  • a fluidized bed furnace dries, pyrolyzes and burns waste thrown into a high-temperature fluid medium such as sand.
  • a swirling type fluidized bed furnace forming a moving layer in which a fluid medium such as sand is deposited at a center part of the furnace and a fluidized layer in which a fluid medium flows actively at a peripheral part of the furnace, by supplying the fluid mediums with fluidized gas to make a mass velocity in the peripheral part higher than that in the center part (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-124608 , for example).
  • the fluidized air supplied to the moving layer and the fluidized layer causes the fluid medium to descend in the moving layer to a bottom of the fluidized layer in the peripheral part, ascend in the fluidized layer to scatter in an upper part of the fluidized layer, be taken into the moving layer again, and then descend in the moving layer, such that a so-called swirling flow (circulating flow) is generated.
  • furnace bed water pouring has been performed to adjust a furnace bed temperature. If water supplied by the water pouring comes into contact with a high-temperature furnace wall, the furnace wall may be damaged due to a sudden drop in temperature. Therefore, to prevent water from coming into contact with the furnace wall, furnace bed water pouring is performed at a center part of the furnace bed, i.e., a moving layer. Thus, the temperature of the entire furnace bed is adjusted by a fluid medium swirling in the moving layer and a fluidized layer.

  • the exhaust port 116 which is formed at an upper part of the furnace body 110, emits exhaust gas etc. generated in the furnace to the outside.
  • the incombustible-material paths 118a and 118b are formed to extend downward at respective lower parts of the inclined walls 112a.
  • the moving-layer wind box 132 is disposed at a bottom center of the furnace body 110 between the incombustible-material paths 118a and 118b.

  • the second fluidized-layer pipe 183 includes a second fluidized-layer air quantity adjusting damper 177 adjusting a quantity of air passing through the second fluidized-layer pipe 183 and a second fluidized-layer air flow meter 173 measuring a quantity of air passing through the second fluidized-layer pipe 183.

  • Air supplied by the turbo blower 140 is passed through the connecting pipe 180 and is branched into the moving-layer pipe 184, the first fluidized-layer pipe 182 and the second fluidized-layer pipe 183.
  • the flows of air supplied to the moving-layer pipe 184, the first fluidized-layer pipe 182 and the second fluidized-layer pipe 183 are adjusted by adjustment of openings of the moving-layer air quantity adjusting damper 176, the first fluidized-layer air quantity adjusting damper 175 and the second fluidized-layer air quantity adjusting damper 177, respectively.
  • the adjusted air is supplied to the moving-layer wind box 132, the first fluidized-layer wind box 134 and the second fluidized-layer wind box 136.
  • fluidized air is injected to provide the moving layer 122 with a relatively small fluidization velocity.
  • fluidized air is injected to provide the fluidized layers 124 with a relatively large fluidization velocity. In this way, the moving layer 122 in which a flowing fluid medium moves downward at a relatively low velocity is formed above the moving bed plate 132a, while the respective fluidized layers 124 in which a flowing fluid medium moves upward are formed above the first fluidized bed plate 134a and.the second fluidized bed plate 136a.
  • a fluid medium moves from the moving layer 122 to the fluidized layers 124.
  • a fluid medium moves from the fluidized layers 124 to the moving layer 122.
  • a circulating flow (swirling flow) caused by a fluid medium circulating between the moving layer 122 and the fluidized layer 124 is formed at each side of the fluidized bed 120.

  • An effective way in a case of sudden increase in combustion quantity is to supply a freeboard with part of fluidized air, to suppress thermal reaction in the fluidized bed, and to supply the freeboard with air required for combustion.
  • the conventional swirling type fluidized bed furnace 100 illustrated in FIG. 5 includes the single turbo blower 140 as a device for supplying fluidized air. If quantities of air to be supplied to the moving layer 122 and the fluidized layer 124 are adjusted separately, such adjustment cannot be performed only by adjustment of the output of the turbo blower 140. Specifically, as the output of the turbo blower 140 is adjusted for adjustment of the quantity of air to the moving layer 122, the quantity of air to the fluidized layers 124 is also varied.
  • the fluidized-layer air quantity adjusting dampers 175 and 177 are opened to increase the quantity of air supplied to the fluidized layers 124, the quantity of air supplied to the moving layer 122 is decreased. An inadequate flow may occur in the moving layer 122 which suppresses the air supply. Further, if the combustion quantity suddenly increases and the freeboard air quantity adjusting damper 179 is opened to supply the freeboard 117 with fluidized air, pressure loss at the discharge side decreases. Due to the characteristic of the turbo blower 140, the discharged air quantity increases, while the quantities of fluidized air to be supplied to the moving layer 122 and the fluidized layers 124 decrease. Thus, an inadequate flow may occur in the moving layer 122.
  • Air discharged from the turbo blower 140 is passed through the connecting pipe 180 and is branched to the moving-layer pipe 184, the first fluidized-layer pipe 182 and the second fluidized-layer pipe 183.
  • the moving-layer pipe 184, the first fluidized-layer pipe 182 and the second fluidized-layer pipe 183 are branched such that the total of the pressure losses at the respective pipes, air flow adjusting dampers, diffusion nozzles and the fluidized bed is left approximately same.
  • the respective pressure losses at the respective pipes, air flow adjusting dampers and diffusion nozzles are approximately proportional to the square of the flow.
  • the pressure loss at the fluidized bed 120 is proportional to the layer height and is constant with any flow.
  • the pressure loss at the fluidized bed 120 in the moving layer 122 having a lower sand height is smaller than that in the fluidized layer 124 having a higher sand height, the pressure losses at the pipe, the air flow adjusting damper and the diffusion nozzle in the moving layer 122 are made larger. If the output adjustment of the turbo blower 140 reduces the discharged air quantity, the pressure losses at the pipe, the air flow adjusting damper and the diffusion nozzle become small. Thus, the quantity of air to the moving layer 122 having a lower sand height increases to balance with the difference between the pressure losses in the sand layers.
  • turbo blower 140 which is a turbo-type air blower
  • turbo-type air blower means an air blower that sends pressured gas by rotating an impeller etc. and generating kinetic energy.
