Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fluidized bed heat exchanger as a component of an associated Incineration apparatus, in particular to a so-called Circulating Fluidized Bed Apparatus (CFBA).
  • CFBA Circulating Fluidized Bed Apparatus
  • a CFBA typically comprises a circulating fluidized bed reactor, designed as a combustor, incineration reactor, boiler, gasifier, steam generator etc., hereinafter called combustor.
  • the combustor walls are made of tubes, through which water runs, wherein said tubes are either welded directly to each other to provide a wall structure or with fins/ribs between parallel running tube sections.
  • the combustor has at least one outlet port at its upper end, wherein said outlet port allows a mixture of gas and solid particles (hereinafter called solids or ash) exhausted from the reactor, to flow Into at least one associated separator.
  • solids or ash a mixture of gas and solid particles
  • the separator serves to disengage the flue gases and solids. Thereafter the separated flue gases and solids are treated separately.
  • the solids are either directly returned into the combustor and/or fed Into an intermediate heat exchanger, in particular into at least one Fluidized Bed Heat Exchanger (FBHE) via a corresponding inlet opening of said FBHE.
  • FBHE Fluidized Bed Heat Exchanger
  • a syphon along the way from the separator to the FBHE and/or to the combustor allows decoupling of pressure (fields) between separator and combustor or separator and FBHE respectively.
  • the at least one FBHE allows to use the heat, provided by the solids (particulate material), for generating power, for example to heat up and/or Increase the pressure of a steam or water, transported as a heat transfer medium via tubes through said FBHE and further to turbines or the like.
  • the FBHE is equipped with at least one outlet opening, also called return means, for at least part of the solids on their way out of the FBHE and back Into the combustor.
  • the typical electrical capacity range of a generic FBHA is around 50 to 600MW and the combustor has a height between 30-60m, a width between 13-40m and a depth: 15-40m.
  • Typical sizes of an FBHA are: height: 3-8 m, width: 3-8 m, depth 3-8 m.
  • the invention Is based on the idea to improve the heat transfer within the heat exchange chamber by optimizing the supply/transport of the solids Into the heat exchange zone of the heat exchanger, to avoid any plugging within the heat exchange zone and to extract the solids continuously to allow a continuous flow of the solids within the heat exchanger.
  • US 6,293,781 discloses an apparatus for decreasing attack of detrimental components of solid particle suspensions in a heat transfer chamber.
  • the solids are fed into the heat transfer chamber via a free passage and a transfer chamber, which Is arranged between said heat transfer chamber and an adjacent dilution chamber, while the solids leave the heat transfer chamber through a common opening with the associated reactor.
  • This outlet end of the runner is close to the bottom of the heat exchanger, and allows to transfer the solids Into the associated (adjacent) heat transfer zone of the heat exchanger.
  • This heat transfer zone can be designed In a conventional way, namely with a fluidized bottom (nozzle bottom, grate) to allow a fluidization of the solids and an optimized heat transfer Into heat transfer means arranged in said heat transfer zone and means to extract the solids from the heat exchanger. Contrary to the solids' flow direction within the runner the main flow direction of the solids In the heat transfer zone is upwardly and again without or with no substantial counterflow, notwithstanding the fluidizing effect caused by the fluidized bottom of the heat transfer zone.
  • the runner is a part and an important component of the heat exchanger and allows said downwardly oriented flow of the solids. It provides the advantage of an inlet opening at the upper end of the heat exchanger, in particular close to or in its ceiling and thus at a short distance to the associated separator which is arranged above the heat exchanger.
  • the material flow can be affected by gravity with no or little external power being required,
  • the solids may flow within the runner without any substantial external forces, in particular without any air supply and as there are no heat transfer means within the runner space, the solids' stream can be controlled easily and effectively. Any counter-flows can be avoided along the runner space.
  • This design does not exclude means to break up (loosen up) the solids'stream on Its way along/through the runner.
  • These means can be: mechanical mixing means, vibration or pulsation means arranged at runner walls or within the runner space, spiral conveyors within the runner space or air nozzles, blowing air bubbles Into the solids's stream, whlthout Influencing the main flow direction of the solids through the runner.
  • the heat transfer zone and the runner can be arranged side by side and with a common wall to achieve a compact design.
  • a type of a transition region Is arranged beneath the lower end of feeding channel (runner), which extends into the adjacent heat exchange zone of the heat exchanger. Along this transition region the material flow makes a substantially 90 degrees turn (from a substantially vertical and downwardly oriented movement Into a substantially horizontal flow), before the solids get under the influence of the fluidized bed of the heat exchange zone, which pushes the solids' stream upwardly, while at the same time fluidizing the solids. It Is important that the heat exchange zone again is designed In such a way to avoid any substantial counter flow between air and solids.
  • baffle In particular a curved baffle, may be provided and installed within the transition region.
  • the Invention provides a fluidized bed heat exchanger according to claim 1.
  • the inlet opening can be arranged in the ceiling, while the outlet opening is a part of an outlet channel, which outlet channel extends from said heat exchange zone through said runner to a corresponding aperture In the outer vertical wall of the heat exchanger.
  • the outlet channel and the outlet opening are arranged at a lower elevation than the Inlet opening, which again optimizes the overall flow behaviour of the solids within the heat exchanger.
  • a very compact design provides for a heat exchanger, wherein an outer vertical wall of the heat exchanger constitutes an outer wall of the runner, I.e. the runner extends substantially parallel to one of the outer vertical walls while the opposite wall extends between opposite wall sections of the heat exchanger.
  • This design allows to build a runner with a horizontal cross section being characterized by a length being larger than its width, for example 2:1 to 8:1.
  • three outer vertical walls of the heat exchanger constitute three outer walls of the runner and a fourth wall of the runner is provided by a partition wall, which extends between two opposing outer vertical walls of the heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchange zone comprises a number of heat exchange means, preferably designed as tubes and arranged at a distance to each other to provide chamber like compartments between adjacent heat exchange tubes.
  • the tubes as such as well as their orientation within the heat exchange chamber belong to prior art.
  • one or more of said heat exchange tubes can be arranged in a wall-like pattern and/or mounted in an outer wall of the heat exchanger.
  • the new construction of the heat exchanger allows further improvements with respect to the heat exchange means.
  • One favourable arrangement is achievable, if one or more of said heat exchange tubes are mounted in a discrete and detachable section of an outer wall of the heat exchanger. This allows to dismantle part of the outer wall of the heat exchanger and thus to pull the heat transfer means out of the heat exchange zone, for replacement purposes, for maintenance purposes etc.
  • a similar arrangement is achievable if one or more of said heat exchange tubes are mounted In a discrete and detachable section of a vertical outer wall of the heat exchanger, In particular the vertical outer wall, which extends opposite to the outer wall, which is part of the runner.
  • the heat transfer means even If arranged in a so-called “wall like pattern" (which may be realized, for example, be a meandering profiling of a tube) do allow a substantial amount of the solids to pass through these "heat exchange walls", for example through spaces provided between adjacent tube sections. It Is also possible to arrange the outlet opening of the heat exchanger In a wall section, which extends parallel to these wall like heat exchangers.
  • the heat exchanger may comprise a baffle downstream of the runner, to redirect the stream of solids from a predominantly vertical and downwardly oriented direction within the runner into a predominantly horizontal direction when entering the heat exchange zone.
  • the baffle can be a discrete construction part of formed in-situ by a corresponding shape of the outer wall of the heat exchanger.
  • the described heat exchanger Is typically used as part of an Incineration apparatus, comprising a fossil, fuel fired combustor with at least one outlet port at Its upper end, wherein said outlet port allows a mixture of gas and solids exhausted from said combustor to flow into at least one associated separator for separating said solids from said gas, means to transfer at least part of said separated solids from said separator into at least one of said fluidized bed heat exchangers, wherein the outer wall of the heat exchanger, comprising the outlet opening, can form a common wall with an outer combustor-wall. This common wall can be the outer wall of the runner.
  • Fig. 1 shows a circulating fluidized bed heat exchanger 10 for use in a circulating fluidized bed apparatus of the type mentioned above.
  • the heat exchanger is box shaped with six outer walls, a ceiling (upper wall) 12, four vertical outer walls 14 a, b ,c, d and a lower bottom 16.
  • the ceiling 12 provides an inlet opening 18 for a stream of solids (ash), which derives from an associated separator (not displayed, as known in prior art).
  • the flow direction at Inlet opening 18 is symbolized by arrow I.
  • the inlet opening 18 is followed by a so-called runner 20, which is a channel along which the solids flow downwardly until the end of the runner at a distance to the bottom 16 of the heat exchanger.
  • the solids stream has free-flow properties on its way through runner 20.
  • This open lower end of runner 20 is provided by a shortened Inner wall 22, which extends parallel to wall 14a, while side walls of runner 20 are provided by corresponding sections of the two vertical walls 14b, 14d, being the sections adjacent to wall 14a.
  • This channel (runner 20) is free of any heat transfer means, although Its outer walls 14a, 14v, 22, 14d can be designed as heat transfer walls.
  • transition area TR A space between runner 20 and bottom section 16r Is called transition area TR as the solids are redirected In that zone from a substantially vertical downward-movement (along runner 20) into a substantially horizontal flow, when passing the gap between the lower end 22e of inner wall 22 and bottom 16, wherein the solids flow is symbolized by arrow U.
  • That part of bottom 16, which extends after said gap (transfer passage) is designed as a conventional fluidized bottom and referenced 16c.
  • a fluidized bottom is state of the art it will not be explained here in more detail. It is the main object of such bottom to allow air or gases to pass through said bottom and to enter the space above said bottom 16c, being the heat transfer zone 40 of the heat exchanger 10. Typically air is blown In via corresponding nozzles, symbolized in the Figures by arrow A.
  • a number of wail-like heat transfer tubes 42a-e are arranged within said heat transfer zone 40, being tubes, through which water or steam as a heat transfer fluid flows.
  • Each "heat transfer wall” is characterized by a meandering run of the corresponding tube(s), symbolized In Fig. 1 by six loops 42t for one heat transfer tube 42a, with a distance between adjacent tubes sections to allow the solids to pass through said "wall”.
  • Each tubes 42a-e is mounted In wall 14c and fluidly connected to a central feeding line 43 at its end, protruding wall 14c of the heat exchanger 10.
  • the tubes 42a-e are arranged at a distance to each other so that chamber like compartments 45 are arranged between adjacent tubes 42a,b; 42b,c; 42c,d; 42d,e.
  • Each of said tubes (walls) 42a-e is mounted in the outer vertical wall 14c of the heat exchanger 10 In a way to allow Individual replacements at any time.
  • the corresponding mounting section for each of said heat transfer tubes 42a-e is a detachable part of said wall 14c and displayed by numeral 44. This allows to fit or extract the tubes 42a-e individually or In groups at any time.
  • outlet channel 46 which extends from an outlet opening 48 in said Inner wall 22 through said runner 20 to a hole (aperture) 47 within said outer wall 14a.
  • the channel 46 extends in a slightly Inclined fashion downwards between outlet opening 48 and hole 47 and two distinct outlet channels 46 are arranged at a distance to each other and accordingly two outlet openings 48 and two holes 47 are provided.
  • the new heat exchanger urges the solids to make a kind of a loop, symbolized In Fig. 1 by arrow L.
