Definitions

  • the invention relates to a grate bar according to the preamble of the first claim and a grate for a grate firing.
  • the invention is applicable everywhere where grate bars and a grate are used for a grate firing and cooling of the grate bars in their front area by means of primary air.
  • the combustion air which is blown as so-called primary air through the combustion grate into the fuel bed resting thereon.
  • the cooling effect by the primary air flow is determined by the gap size between the grate bars or by defined outlet openings and the flow resistance of the primary air through the fuel bed at this point. If the primary air flow z. B. laid by liquid slags that obstruct the gap or clog the outlet openings, the affected grate bar is practically not cooled.
  • the grate bar on the bottom can be provided with cooling fins, which are blown by the primary air.
  • a grate bar with a hollow box-like cross-section known. Between the top and the bottom of this grate bar two chambers are formed by a central rib, which are acted upon from the rear side with air. The air exits through the passage of the chambers through a slot nozzle at the front of the grate bar in the combustion chamber. In this type of cooling there is a risk of blockage of the slot nozzle, so that the air does not escape from the grate bar and therefore can not cool it. Furthermore, the exit of the warmed air through the nozzle-like opening in the end wall causes a burning effect with an increased fuel conversion and temperature increases and thus accelerates a local destruction of the grate bar.
  • a cooled grate bar is known, on the underside of which a meandering, air-flowed coil is attached to an unspecified manner. After flowing through the coil, the air exits the grate bar on its underside by laterally arranged outlet openings. Inadequate attachment of the coil is the Heat transfer from the grate bar in the cooling air through the coil significantly affected.
  • the meandered pipe coil basically leads to an asymmetric temperature distribution in the grate bar. The result is a distortion of the grate bar with an undesirable gap formation between adjacent grate bars.
  • DE 101 63 670 A1 describes a grate bar for a grate firing, which has a U-shaped profile with a back and side flanks and is provided on its underside with a channeled air through duct system having an outlet for the air in the front region of the grate bar on the underside of the grate bar , The cooling air is supplied to the grate bar via the grate bar, which represents a complicated solution.
  • the US Pat. No. 4,719,900 describes a grate bar for a grate firing having a U-shaped profile with a back and side surfaces and is air cooled.
  • a grate bar for a grate firing having a U-shaped profile with a back and side surfaces and is air cooled.
  • an open channel is arranged in the front area of the grate bar.
  • the grate bar has on its back in the front region of a survey in the transverse to the longitudinal axis of a collection channel is arranged escapes from the air in the bulk material on the grate. Cooling of the adjacent grate bar does not take place.
  • the EP 0 103 202 describes a grate bar for a grate firing, which has a U-shaped profile and a back and side surfaces and is air-cooled.
  • the grate bar has down a cover plate, open channels and an air outlet opening in the front region of the side surfaces.
  • the side surfaces are arranged offset in the region of the air outlet openings.
  • a closed channel to a transverse to the longitudinal axis of the grate bar arranged collecting channel is not present.
  • the problem may be the clogging of the air outlet opening between the grates by the Rost trimfall.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to develop a grate with grate bar, in which initially the undirected coming from the hopper primary air flow in terms of optimized cooling on the grate bar base is directed into the particularly highly loaded front portion of the grate bar and then the following derivative of heated primary air into the combustion bed so that the unwanted burner effect is avoided on the top of the grate bar.
  • the primary air should be supplied so that there is no clogging of the opening in the side surface of the grate bar.
  • the solution according to the invention provides a grate with grate bars for a sliding grate firing in which a plurality of grate bar rows of grate juxtaposed grate bars form the grate surface.
  • a row of grate bars is mounted in each case on a grate bar carrier and is supported in the form of a roof tile on the following row of grate bars.
  • At every second grate bar carrier engages, not shown, drive, by which the relevant grate bar row is moved back and forth.
  • the primary air supplied below the grate lining cools the grate bars and passes essentially through gaps between the individual grate bars in the fuel layer (fuel bed).
  • the entire grate covering can consist of grate bars according to the invention which have at least one closed or generally enclosed channel for the primary air in their front area.
  • the grate bars according to the invention are used at least on the thermally highly loaded zones of the grate, d. H. together with conventional grate bars.
  • the grate bars have a flat back without superstructures on which the firing board is located.
  • the side surfaces of the grate bars are approximately parallel to each other over their entire length.
  • closed channels it is advantageous to arrange several, for example six, such closed channels in the grate bar. How many grate cooling channels are to be arranged depends on the width of the grate. Especially wide grate bars can also have more closed channels.
  • the closed channel may have different cross-sectional shapes such as a quadrangular, square, round or oval shape.
  • a square shape is advantageously advantageous.
  • the channels for primary air or the grate bar cooling channels have a lower opening for the entry of the primary air and an upper opening for the exit of the primary air.
  • the upper openings open into a collecting channel, which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the grate bar and ends in the approximately parallel side surfaces of the grate bar.
  • the collection channel and its opening in the side surface of the grate bar may have the shape of a long hole, an oval or a square or rectangular cross-sectional shape, wherein the shape of a slot is particularly suitable.
  • the warmed in the closed channels air is released through the collection channel at low speed in the two slots between the individual grate bars, which additional local temperature increases caused by the burning effect can be avoided.
  • the cross-sections and lengths of the grate bar cooling channels and the collecting channel are dimensioned by the skilled person so that - taking into account the marginal gaps between the grate bars as an alternative way - sufficient for the cooling effect flow through the cooling channels is achieved.
  • the skilled person preferably uses calculation programs for numerical flow simulation.
  • the collecting channel is arranged in the grate bar so that it is in the normally occurring material stress by bending in the statically little loaded neutral fiber, i. in the transition range from tensile to compressive stress. This avoids a weakening of the mechanical resistance of the rod.
  • cooling fins it is also advantageous to arrange on the underside of the grate bar cooling fins, and it is advantageous to arrange, for example, two cooling fins on the underside of the grate bar.
  • two cooling fins can be arranged with narrow grate bars less and with wide grate bars more cooling fins.
  • the slot has a ratio between length to diameter between 3 to 7 to 1, preferably between 5 to 1. Other conditions should not be excluded.
  • This dimensioning has proven to be particularly advantageous in connection with the closed channel in the grate bar for the required flow rate of the primary air, both in terms of good cooling of the adjacent grate bar as well as in that clogging of the opening is avoided by kiln.
  • the so-called primary air flows from a main air line, which is located in a funnel under the combustion grate, from below into the grate bars of the combustion grate and through their cooling channels enclosed on all sides in the front region of the Rust bar and cool this.
  • the primary air After the primary air has flowed through the closed channel (s) or into the collecting channel, it leaves the collecting channel laterally at the gap, which is formed by the side walls of two adjacent grate bars.
  • the collecting channels of two adjacent grate bars can be arranged offset from one another, so that the side wall of the respective other grate bar is cooled by the primary air of a collecting channel. If the collecting channels of the grate bars arranged offset from one another, the opening of the collecting channel does not hit the opening of the respective opposite collecting channel, but on the side wall of the grate bar to be cooled. In order to achieve this, the channels to the collection channels are each of different lengths. It can also be arranged on adjacent grate bars different forms of collection channels and their openings.
  • the grate bar according to the invention is particularly suitable for being used at thermally highly stressed points of a grate without there being a blockage of the opening of the collecting channel.
  • the grate bar according to the invention is arranged on the grate next to a conventional grate bar, which should be the case in thermally highly loaded zones of the grate, there is intensive cooling of the side surfaces of the adjacent grate bar.
  • cooling channels are in turn provided with cooling fins, there is an improved cooling in particular at the thermally highly stressed points of the grate bar.
  • the solution according to the invention has the advantage that the primary air flow coming undirected from the funnel is directed as directed flow in the sense of optimal cooling on the grate underside in the particularly highly loaded area of the grate bar and the grate and then the subsequent discharge of the heated primary air into the combustion bed This is done so that unwanted burning effects on the top of the grate bar and blockages of the opening of the collecting channel can be avoided.
  • the cooling channels and collecting channels of the grate bar according to the invention and the grate invention also improved compared to other grate bars and rust emergency running in the event that the thermally most heavily loaded end faces of the grate bar were completely removed in operations and at this point a short circuit between Funnel and fuel bed is created.
  • the cooling channels which are initially enclosed on all sides are then opened to the fuel bed, the remaining walls of the cooling channels form a remaining residue seal between the funnel and the fuel bed, so that only a small part of the primary air flows through these openings.
  • the FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a section of a grate firing in partial section from the side.
  • the considered sliding grate is used for the combustion of fuel, such as garbage, which is applied as a fuel layer on the combustion grate.
  • the grate 3 consists of grate bars 4, which are arranged in rows of grate bars and rest on one side on the grate bar 5 and on the other side on the respective subsequent grate bar 4.

Every second grate bar carrier 5 performs a movement 18 with respect to a non-moving grate bar carrier 5, whereby the kiln is moved over the grate 3.
  • These cooling channels 6 have a lower opening 10 through which the primary air 7 flows, and an upper opening 11 through which the primary air 7 flows into a collecting channel 12 and through this collecting channel 12, which is arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis of the grate bar 4, the Rust bar 4 leaves again laterally.
  • the channels or cooling channels 6 and the collecting channel 12 thus conduct the air from the lower opening 10 to the two openings of the collecting channel 12 in the respective side surface 2 of the grate bar 4.
  • the straight collecting channel 12 extends directly under the back 1 of the grate bar 4 and the openings in the side surface 2 are also arranged directly under the back 1.
  • the collecting channel 12 which has an oval shape, is formed on the one hand by the underside of the back 1 of the grate bar 4 and a lower boundary, which forms a channel with an oval cross-section with the lower side of the back 1.
