Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an incinerator for turbulent combustion of fuel, such as coal or biomass fuel, with increased efficiency and low emission.
  • fly ash that is released to the atmosphere along with flue gas, which requires the use of scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators or other filtering devices in order to comply with air pollution standards.
  • Strict emission standards also limit the amount of carbon monoxide, NO x and SO x , all of which are byproducts of coal combustion that is allowable to be released into the atmosphere. To comply with this, it is imperative that complete combustion be achieved.
  • the present invention aims to improve on the problems described in the prior art.
  • the invention makes use of two-stage double cyclone turbulent combustion in order to achieve improved efficiency and low emission values.
  • Fuel feed enters the main combustion chamber from the top, and fall to the grate, from the openings of which oxygen enriched air is blown upwards.
  • Burning fuel particles are suspended by turbulence to prevent slag build-up and maximize contact with oxygen enriched air to ensure complete combustion.
  • the incinerator is suitable for burning solid fuels with lower calorific content, such as lignite, as well as biomass fuel, or a combination thereof.
  • the present invention can be used in any application requiring heat transfer, such as industrial or domestic-type heating (boilers) and power generation.
  • the present invention provides an incinerator for turbulent combustion of fuel as provided by the characterizing features defined in Claim 1. Objects of the Present Invention

  • FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention, referred to as turbulent combustion incinerator (10).
  • Turbulent combustion incinerator (10) consists of a two-stage double cyclone turbulent combustion system. The first stage takes place in the main combustion chamber (11), where solid or biomass fuel is burned. The second stage takes place in the secondary combustion chamber (12) where components of flue gas, such as CO are combusted completely. Inside surface of turbulent combustion incinerator (10) is of refractory material (14) and the outside is insulated by ceramic fiber wool (13) to prevent loss of heat.
  • the present invention can be used in a variety of applications that require heat transfer, such as boilers and power generation.
  • Harvest of heat energy from the turbulent combustion incinerator may occur via a jacket or pipes placed in the outside walls of the turbulent combustion incinerator where desired fluid can flow, or some other heat exchange method can be used.
  • Fuel such as lignite or biomass, is fed into the system from above by fuel hopper (15).
  • the fuel is transferred along the fuel hopper (15) by fuel transfer auger (17) driven by fuel feeder motor (16) and mechanically borne by ball bearing (19).
  • Fuel hopper is attached to the main body of the turbulent combustion incinerator by support element (18). From the top, fuel is transferred directly to the main combustion chamber (11) via fuel feed pipe (20) and fuel feed inlet (21).
  • Fuel feed inlet (21) is made of ceramic material resistant to temperatures above 1200°C and is preferably insulated from fuel feed pipe (20).
  • Main combustion chamber (11) and secondary combustion chamber (12) will be described in more detail hereinbelow.
  • fuel entering the main combustion chamber (11) from above via fuel feed inlet (21) is met with air flowing from below via grate holes (29) of the grate (28).
  • Air is supplied to the main combustion chamber (11) from air blower (30) via the air transport pipe (31).
  • Fuel is evenly distributed across grate (28) by rotatable sweeper (24), rotated by sweeper motor (27) to ensure more efficient combustion.
  • Bottom ash produced by combustion is collected by ash collection cone (34) and removed by ash transfer auger (35) with counter-weight cover (36) which disposes of bottom ash when a certain weight of ash is reached.
  • Flue gas, fly ash and other volatiles resulting from combustion are passed through the dome openings (23) around the heat collecting dome (22) to the secondary combustion chamber (12), where the second stage combustion of CO, etc. occurs.
  • Completely combusted flue gas is collected by gas acceleration nozzle (32) and released into the atmosphere, or transferred for further processing, such as scrubbing, filtering and/or electrostatic precipitation, via funnel pipe bend (33). Flow paths of gas inside turbulent combustion incinerator are described in Figure 2.
  • FIGS 3, 4 and 5 illustrate main combustion chamber (11) in detail.
  • Main combustion chamber (11) comprises heat collecting dome (22), grate (28) and rotatable sweeper (24).
  • Air is supplied to main combustion chamber (11) from air transport pipe (31). Air used may be oxygen enriched air, which will lower off-gas volume. Oxygen enriched air also decreases the amount of nitrogen in air feed which advantageously reduces amount of NO x formed during combustion.
  • Grate (28) contains grate holes (29) so that air can pass through the fuel particles on the grate surface to provide turbulence to fuel particles.
  • Grate holes (29) are aligned to provide air flow that is focused towards fuel feed inlet (21), meaning grate holes (29) are vertical at the center of grate (28) but their angle gets more acute radially, so that air flow is tangentially diverted from the outer surface of the fuel feed inlet (21).
  • Concave structure of heat collecting dome (22) diverts air flow back towards grate (28), where fresh air is added to the flow, creating a double cyclone turbulent air flow. Turbulent combustion in the main combustion chamber (11) occurs with saturated mixture rich in fuel and poor in air.
  • Grate (28) has a convex structure for facilitating spreading of fuel across the top surface of grate (28).
  • Rotatable sweeper (24) consisting of fuel spreader (25) and slag mill (26) assists in improving combustion efficiency. Homogeneous distribution of fuel across grate (28) is achieved by fuel spreader (25), while slag mill (26) grinds slag build-up around fresh fuel particles. Burning fuel particles are suspended in the main combustion chamber (11) due to turbulence, which further minimizes slag build-up around fuel particles and allows improved combustion to occur. As a result, the efficiency of the system is greatly increased. Turbulent combustion across the main combustion chamber also prevents temperature variations (11), which in turn keeps sulfur emissions at a stable and low level.
  • Figure 6 illustrates secondary combustion chamber (12) in detail.
  • Secondary combustion chamber (12) comprises heat collecting dome (22), fuel feed inlet (20) and gas acceleration nozzle (32). Inside surface of secondary combustion chamber (12) is of refractory material. Secondary combustion chamber (12) is where second stage combustion occurs. Uncombusted air and flue gas enter into secondary combustion chamber (12) from main combustion chamber (13) via dome openings (23). The higher volume of secondary combustion chamber (12) allows CO and other gases to expand and combust more freely. The outer surface of fuel feed inlet (20) and the lateral and concave top surface of secondary combustion chamber (12) allow formation of double cyclone turbulent air flow inside secondary combustion chamber (12) for more efficient combustion of CO. Completely combusted flue leaves secondary combustion chamber (12) through gas acceleration nozzle (32) and is released into the atmosphere, or transferred for further processing, such as scrubbing, filtering and/or electrostatic precipitation, via funnel pipe bend (33).

  • heat collecting dome (22) contains dome channels (37).
  • Dome channels (37) are aligned to provide air flow that is focused towards the part of fuel feed inlet (21) that is beneath gas acceleration nozzle (32), meaning the angle of dome channels (37) gets more acute radially, so that air flow is tangentially diverted from the outer surface of the fuel feed inlet (21).
  • Concave structure of the top of secondary combustion chamber (12) diverts air flow back towards heat collecting dome (22), creating a double cyclone turbulent flow of air and combustion gases coming from main combustion chamber (11), thereby expediting further oxidation of combustion gases such as CO.
