Description

The present invention relates to a light scattering type dust densitometer, and in particular, mist (droplet particles) and dust (solid particles) are adsorbed and coexistent when the inside of the flue is below the dew point, and the dust in the cloudy exhaust gas becomes cloudy. The present invention relates to a light-scattering dust densitometer for cloudy exhaust gas capable of continuously, accurately and continuously measuring the concentration in a flue.

Exhaust gas emitted from various factories contains harmful substances such as sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. For this reason, it is obligatory to install an exhaust gas treatment device such as a desulfurization device or a denitration device in a path (exhaust gas path) through which the exhaust gas is discharged into the atmosphere through the chimney.

On the other hand, a predetermined emission concentration regulation is also set for dust. For example, in a paper mill or the like, the mist used in the exhaust gas treatment device is contained in the exhaust gas and becomes white smoke and is discharged from the chimney. In some cases, the local residents see white smoke emitted from the chimney and feel that dust above the regulation value is being emitted, and inquire to the factory.

Therefore, in various factories, a method to clearly show that white smoke is simply due to mist and does not contain dust that exceeds the regulation standard, that is, a method that can always be confirmed to comply with regulations related to dust emission. (Means) were strongly desired.

A light scattering type dust densitometer has been conventionally known as a means for measuring the dust concentration. However, the conventional light-scattering dust concentration meter can continuously measure the dust concentration in the exhaust gas in real time, but for exhaust gas containing mist after processing with a desulfurization device (cloudy exhaust gas below the dew point) In principle, accurate dust concentration measurement is difficult due to the influence of a large amount of mist. That is, there has been a problem that the light scattering type dust densitometer cannot be applied to the measurement of the dust concentration of the exhaust gas containing the mist.

On the other hand, the inventor of the present application directly and continuously in the flue, for a long time continuously, in other words, for collecting a part of the cloudy exhaust gas in the flue to the inspection room outside the flue Invented a light scattering type dust densitometer capable of continuously and accurately measuring the duct concentration in the cloudy exhaust gas continuously and accurately for a long period of time without using a sampling tube. Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document The patent application shown in 3 has been filed and the patent right has already been acquired.

The light scattering type dust densitometer described in Patent Document 1 is a dust densitometer for measuring the dust concentration in a cloudy exhaust gas in which mist and dust are adsorbed and coexist in the flue, Equipped with a vaporizer that vaporizes the mist, a light irradiator that irradiates the area of the flue where the mist is vaporized, and a scattered light detector that detects the scattered light reflected by the dust from which the mist has been removed. The dust concentration in the cloudy exhaust gas is calculated based on the scattered light intensity detected by the scattered light detector.

The light scattering type dust densitometer described in Patent Document 2 is a dust densitometer that directly measures the dust concentration in the cloudy exhaust gas inside the flue, and the measurement target after separating the measurement target cloudy exhaust gas inside the flue A vaporizer that vaporizes the mist in the cloudy exhaust gas, and an air blower mechanism that forms an air curtain that separates the region where the mist has been vaporized through the vaporizer from the cloudy exhaust gas that does not pass through the vaporizer, downstream of the vaporizer. And the like, and is configured to detect the scattered light reflected by the mist-removed dust in the air curtain to determine the dust concentration in the cloudy exhaust gas.

The light scattering type dust densitometer described in Patent Document 3 takes in the measurement target cloudy exhaust gas in the flue, vaporizes the mist by the vaporizer, and reflects the mist-removed dust in the vaporized region of the mist. In a dust concentration meter that detects scattered light and directly measures the dust concentration in the cloudy exhaust gas in the flue, an intermittent air blow mechanism that intermittently generates air near the intake port of the cloudy exhaust gas to be measured by the vaporizer ( It is equipped with a function to prevent dirt on the entrance side of the vaporizer.

Here, in the present embodiment, the dust concentration in the flue is below the dew point, mist and dust are adsorbed and coexist, and the dust concentration in the cloudy exhaust gas that is clouded is continuously, accurately, and long-term in the flue. The present invention relates to a light scattering dust densitometer for cloudy exhaust gas that can be continuously measured over a period of time.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the light-scattering dust densitometer (light-scattering dust densitometer for cloudy exhaust gas) A of the present embodiment has a flow direction T of the cloudy exhaust gas 2 in the flue 1 as shown in FIGS.

The inner cylinder 11 is formed using a metal material such as a copper material having excellent thermal conductivity. In the present embodiment, the inner cylinder 11 is formed by combining a copper material and a nickel material, and thus the inner cylinder 11 having extremely high thermal conductivity and excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance is realized.

As the sheath heater 12, for example, a plurality of 220V/600W sheath heaters 12 are wound around the inner cylinder 11 and used. It should be noted that one sheath heater 12 may be wound around the inner cylinder 11 as a matter of course.

The heat transfer material 13 is, for example, heat transfer cement, and by covering the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 11 with this heat transfer material 13 and burying the sheath heater 12 with the heat transfer material 13, the heat generated by the sheath heater 12 is generated. Can be effectively propagated in the direction of the axis O1 of the inner cylinder 11, and the entire inner cylinder 11 can be effectively heated to a predetermined temperature. Further, by providing such a heat transfer material 13 (and the sheath heater 12 and the heat insulating material 14), a large heat distribution is not generated in the entire inner cylinder 11, that is, the temperature distribution of the inner cylinder 11 is reduced. It becomes possible to heat (substantially equalize), and it becomes possible to efficiently heat the inner cylinder 11 to a high temperature of 500° C. or higher.

The heat insulating material 14 is a fiber heat insulating material having excellent heat resistance such as glass wool or rock wool, or a foam heat insulating material having excellent heat resistance such as phenol foam, and the fiber heat insulating material is particularly preferable.

The first container 15 forming the outer shell of the vaporizer A1 has an inlet (entrance opening) 20 on one end side of the inner cylinder 11 communicated with the outside, and has a plate surface orthogonal to the axis O1 of the inner cylinder 11 and the inner cylinder 11. While making the inlet side shield plate portion 21 arranged on one end side of the inner cylinder 11 communicate with the outlet (outlet opening) 22 on the other end side of the inner cylinder 11 to the outside, the plate surface is orthogonal to the axis O1 of the inner cylinder 11. The outlet side shield plate portion 23 disposed on the other end side of the inner cylinder 11 and the both end sides are joined to the outer peripheral surfaces of the inlet side shield plate portion 21 and the outlet side shield plate portion 23, and the inner cylinder 11 and the sheath heater 12 are connected. , A cover portion 24 arranged so as to surround the heat transfer material 13 and the heat insulating material 14, and an inlet side shield so as to house the inner cylinder 11, the sheath heater 12, the heat transfer material 13, and the heat insulating material 14 together with the cover portion 24. The light scattering type dust densitometer A is fixed to the body or the like forming the flue 1 by being joined to the outer peripheral surfaces of the plate portion 21 and the outlet side shielding plate portion 23, the sheath heater 12 and various air blow mechanisms 8, 9 10 and the like, and a board-shaped base portion 25 used for inserting and connecting pipes.

In the present embodiment, a sealant such as a silicone sealant is applied to the joint portion of the inlet side shield plate portion 21, the outlet side shield plate portion 23, the cover portion 24, and the base portion 25. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the base portion 25 is fixed and attached so as to seal the flue 1, so that the airtightness of the attachment hole 26a portion penetratingly formed in the body 26 or the like forming the flue 1 Can be secured.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, in the inlet-side shield plate portion 21, the through-hole portion that forms the inlet opening 20 on one end side of the inner cylinder 11 is located inside from the radially outer side with the axis O1 of the inner cylinder 11 as the center. As it goes toward the axis O1 side of the cylinder 11, it is formed as an inclined surface (tapered surface) 21a that gradually goes from the front surface where the inlet 20 opens to the inner surface on the rear side in the axis O1 direction. As a result, the cloudy exhaust gas 2 can be smoothly introduced into the inner cylinder 11 from the inlet 20 on one end side of the inner cylinder 11.

In the first container 15 of the present embodiment, the inlet side shield plate portion 21, the outlet side shield plate portion 23, the cover portion 24, and the base portion 25 are formed using a resin material. This makes it possible to reduce the weight of the light-scattering dust concentration meter A, and even when the cloudy exhaust gas 2 is exposed for a long period of time, the cloudy exhaust gas 2 contains corrosive substances such as hydrochloric acid. Even if it is present, it is possible to form a container having excellent corrosion resistance and durability that is unlikely to cause corrosion or damage.

Further, by forming the entrance-side shield plate portion 21, the exit-side shield plate portion 23, the cover portion 24, and the base portion 25 using a resin material, it is possible to easily replace the member when damage is caused by impact or the like. The light scattering type dust densitometer A which can be performed and has excellent maintainability can be realized.

Further, the first container 15 is preferably made of a fluororesin such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene (tetrafluoroethylene resin)), PFA (perfluoroalkoxy fluororesin), PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), or the like. It is more preferable to use a resin material in which carbon is mixed with resin. By using such a fluorine resin or a carbon-containing fluorine resin, it becomes possible to more effectively form a container having excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

The first container 15 may be formed by using a metal material, for example, a stainless material such as SUS304 or a member obtained by coating the stainless material with a fluorine resin.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first container 15 of the present embodiment is formed in an arc shape so that a part (upper end side) is along the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 11. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the first container 15 may be formed in a rectangular box shape (including a substantially rectangular box shape). When the first container 15 is formed in a rectangular box shape as shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to easily attach, process, replace, etc. the cover portion 24, and further it is possible to easily secure the hermeticity. become.

In the vaporizer A1 of the present embodiment, by including the inner cylinder 11, the sheath heater 12, the heat transfer material 13, the heat insulating material 14, and the first container 15 described above, for example, the inner cylinder 11 is heated to a high temperature of 500° C. or higher. can do. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, in order to measure and control the temperature of the sheath heater 12 and the like, a thermocouple 27 as a temperature measuring means is provided inside the first container 15.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the dust detection device A2 discharges the exhaust gas 2 from the outlet opening 22 (outlet side shield plate portion 23) on the other end side of the inner cylinder 11 of the vaporizer A1. Included in the exhaust gas 2 is a light irradiator 30 that is provided adjacent to the downstream side in the flow direction T and that vaporizes the mist 3 by the vaporizer A1 to irradiate the exhaust gas 2 emitted from the outlet opening 22 with light 4. The scattered light detector 31 that detects the scattered light 6 reflected by the dust 5 and the second container 32 that forms the outline of the dust detection device A2 and that houses the light irradiator 30 and the scattered light detector 31 are provided. It is configured.

The second container 32, which forms the outer shell of the dust detection device A2, has a rectangular box shape (including a substantially rectangular box shape) that includes the light irradiator 30 and the scattered light detector 31 while sharing the base portion 25 of the first container 15. ) Is formed. Further, a circular through hole 32a is formed on the upper surface facing the exhaust gas 2 side immediately after exiting the outlet opening 22 of the vaporizer A1, and the light irradiator 30 and the scattered light detector 31 are held in this through hole 32a. The holding block 32b is fitted and provided.

In addition, the holding block 32 b causes the light 4 emitted from the light irradiator 30 inside the second container 32 to be projected toward the exhaust gas 2, and the scattered light 6 reflected by the dust 5 inside the second container 32. A light transmitting member (light transmitting surface: light projecting surface and light receiving surface) 32c for allowing the scattered light detector 31 to receive light is provided. In addition, in the present embodiment, the sealing state of the inside of the second container 32 is secured by using the sealing material such as the holding block 32b and the O-ring 32d, and the packing material.

Like the first container 15, the second container 32 of the present embodiment is formed using a resin material. This makes it possible to reduce the weight of the light-scattering dust concentration meter A, and even when the cloudy exhaust gas 2 is exposed for a long period of time, the cloudy exhaust gas 2 contains corrosive substances such as hydrochloric acid. Even if it is present, it is possible to form a container having excellent corrosion resistance and durability that is unlikely to cause corrosion or damage. Further, by using the resin material, it is possible to easily replace the member when it is damaged due to impact or the like, and it is possible to realize the light scattering type dust densitometer A having excellent maintainability.

Further, the second container 32, like the first container 15, is made of a fluorine-based resin such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene (tetrafluoroethylene resin)), PFA (perfluoroalkoxy fluororesin), PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride). It is preferable to use. Further, it is more preferable to use a composite resin material in which carbon (silicon carbide) is mixed in a fluororesin. By using such a fluorine resin or a carbon-containing fluorine resin, it becomes possible to more effectively form a container having excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

Of course, the second container 32 may be formed by using a metal material, like the first container 15, and may be formed, for example, by using a member obtained by coating a fluorine resin on a stainless material such as SUS304.

As shown in FIG. 3, the light irradiator 30 has a region S1 where only dust 5 exists in an air curtain (air curtain whose details will be described later) 33 downstream of the vaporizer A in the flow direction T of the cloudy exhaust gas 2. Part of the scattered light detection area S2 is irradiated with the measurement light 4 for detecting the scattered light 6 which is the basis of the measurement of the dust concentration as diffused light. At that time, it is preferable to irradiate the measurement light 4 which is synchronously detected with a constant wavelength.

The scattered light detector 31 detects scattered light 6 scattered by the measurement light 4 being reflected by the dust 5 from which the mist 3 has been removed via the vaporizer A1.

The scattered light detection area S2 (area S1) is adjacent to the cloudy exhaust gas area S3 that has not passed through the vaporizer A1, but the surrounding cloudy exhaust gas 2 is blocked by the air curtain 33 and vaporized by the vaporizer A1. By irradiating the exhaust gas 2 with the measurement light 4 that has not been mixed with the exhaust gas 2 and is synchronously detected at a constant wavelength, the scattered light 6 scattered by the dust 5 in the scattered light detection area S2 and the vaporizer A1 are separated. The scattered light 6 scattered by the mist 3 and the mist adsorbed dust 5 in the white turbid exhaust gas 2 which has not passed is a scattered light 6 having a different wavelength, which can be identified by the scattered light detector 31.

Further, even if the scattered light 6 having the same wavelength as the scattered light 6 generated from the scattered light detection area S2 is generated from the adjacent or mixed white turbid exhaust gas 2 which has not passed through the vaporizer A1, the amount is extremely low. Further, since the light intensity of the scattered light detection area S2 is extremely strong, the amount of scattered light 6 from the cloudy exhaust gas 2 can be ignored.

Further, the inventor of the present application sets the intersection angle θ between the optical axis of the light irradiator 30 and the optical axis of the scattered light detector 31 to 45° to 90°, preferably 60°, so that the exhaust gas vaporized by the vaporizer A is exhausted. It has been found that the dust 5 in 2 can be reliably and suitably detected by the dust detection device A2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the calculation device 7 is a device that calculates the dust concentration from the light intensity of the scattered light 6 based on the fact that the scattered light has a proportional relationship with the dust concentration. For example, if a calibration curve having a proportional relationship between the dust concentration and the light amount is created in advance, the dust concentration with respect to the detected light amount of the scattered light 6 can be obtained from the calibration curve. The arithmetic unit 7 and the scattered light detector 31 may be integrated. In this embodiment, the arithmetic unit 7 is configured to receive the scattered light intensity signal via the optical fiber.

On the other hand, the light-scattering dust densitometer A of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, is provided with a first air blow mechanism 8 for ejecting intermittent air toward the inlet 20 side of the cloudy exhaust gas 2.

The first air blow mechanism 8 includes a first flow path 8a that allows intermittent air to pass through the inlet side shield plate portion 21 of the first container 15, and an inner surface on the rear side in the axis O1 direction from the front surface where the inlet 20 on one end side of the inner cylinder 11 is open. It is provided on the inclined surface (tapered surface) 21a of the entrance-side shield plate portion 21 facing toward, and has a large number of air discharge ports 8b communicating with the first flow path 8a.

Then, when the first air blower mechanism 8 supplies the intermittent air to the first flow path 8a, it ejects the air from the plurality of air discharge ports 8b. By the air blow of the first air blow mechanism 8, the mist 3 condensed at the inlet 20 side portion (the through hole portion of the inlet side shield plate portion 21) which is the intake of the cloudy exhaust gas 2 can be dried or blown off. Further, since the inside of the through hole portion is formed as the inclined surface 21a, the mist 3 and the air blower flow from the first container 15 to the outside. As a result, it is possible to prevent the mist 3 from aggregating and accumulating the drain on the inlet 20 side of the intake port for the cloudy exhaust gas 2 of the first container 15.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the light scattering dust densitometer A of the present embodiment has a region (air flow) S1 in which the mist 3 is maintained in a vaporized state through the vaporizer A1 and the vaporizer A1. A second air blow mechanism 9 is provided for forming an air curtain 33 that separates and isolates the region S3 of the cloudy exhaust gas that does not pass through.

The second air blower mechanism 9 is provided in the outlet side shield plate portion 23 of the first container 15 and opens toward the downstream side in the flow direction T of the outlet side shield plate portion 23 and the second flow passage 9a through which air is always passed. The air outlet 9b is provided along the outer peripheral edge of the outlet-side shield plate 23 and communicates with the second flow passage 9a.

As a result, the second air blow mechanism 9 ejects air toward the downstream side in the flow direction T of the cloudy exhaust gas 2 and maintains the state S1 in which the mist 3 is vaporized through the vaporizer A1 and the vaporizer A1. The air curtain 33 for separating and isolating the region S3 of the white turbid exhaust gas 2 that does not pass through, preventing the mist 3 from mixing into the scattered light detection region S1 (S2), and detecting the scattered light 6 without the influence of the mist 3. Can be formed. That is, such an air curtain 33 can form the isolation space (S1) on the second container 32.

The air discharge port 9b is arranged along the outer peripheral edge of the first container 15 up to the upper surface of the second container 32. At this time, the air discharge port 9b may be formed by interspersing a plurality of holes, or may be formed by extending one opening into a line.

On the other hand, in the light scattering type dust densitometer A of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, in addition to the above-described first air blow mechanism 8 and second air blow mechanism 9, the light transmitting surface of the second container 32 is used. (Light emitting surface, light receiving surface) 32c is provided with a third air blow mechanism (air blow mechanism for light transmitting surface) 10 for preventing drain accumulation due to condensation of mist 3, dust 5 attached to drain, accumulation, etc. I have it.

The third air-blowing mechanism 10 is provided in the outlet-side shield plate portion 23 of the first container 15 and has a second flow path 9a (10a) through which air flows constantly or intermittently, and a flow direction of the outlet-side shield plate portion 23. T is opened toward the downstream side, is provided below the outlet opening 22 of the outlet side shield plate portion 23 between the outlet opening 22 and the upper surface of the second container 32 along the width direction, and the second flow path is formed. It is provided with an air discharge port 10b communicating with 9a (10a).

As a result, the third air blow mechanism 10 is directed toward the downstream side in the flow direction T of the exhaust gas 2 inside the air curtain 33 and toward the light transmitting surface 32c (on the light transmitting surface) of the second container 32. It is possible to prevent (suppress) the generation of the drainage due to the condensation of the mist 3 and the adhesion and accumulation of the dust 5 on the drain, etc. on the transparent surface 32c of the second container 32 by ejecting the air to blow off the mist 3 and the like.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the first air blow mechanism 8, the second air blow mechanism 9, and the third air blow mechanism 10 include an air supply source (not shown), an air supply source, and a first flow path 8a. , A pipe 34 that connects the second flow path 9a (10a), and an electromagnetic valve provided in each pipe 34. Air is intermittently supplied to the first flow path 8a by opening/closing control of the electromagnetic valve, and the second flow path 9a (10a) is opened during normal measurement except when maintenance is performed. Air is always supplied.

Since the air blow by the first air blow mechanism 8 affects the dust detection value, the CPU records the dust detection value immediately before the air blow on the recording device in conjunction with the timing of the air blow, and displays the air blow in the air blower on the display unit. It is preferable to display the measured concentration so as to eliminate the influence on the continuous indication.

When the air blow by the third air blow mechanism 10 may affect the dust detection value as in the case of the first air blow mechanism 8, the flow path 10a of the third air blow mechanism 10 may be provided independently, or The first air flow mechanism 8 is connected to the first flow path 8a of the first air flow mechanism 8, or the pipe connected to the first flow path 8a of the first air flow mechanism 8 is connected to the flow path 10a of the third air flow mechanism 10. Air may be intermittently supplied to the flow path 10a to blow off the mist 3 and the like.

Therefore, in the light scattering type dust densitometer A of the present embodiment, by providing the third air blow mechanism 10 in addition to the first air blow mechanism 8 and the second air blow mechanism 9, the outlet 22 of the exhaust gas 2 of the vaporizer A1 is provided. A mist 3 or a light transmitting surface 32c that is provided in the vicinity and irradiates the exhaust gas 2 with the light 4 from the light irradiator 30 and causes the scattered light 6 reflected by the dust 5 to enter toward the scattered light detector 31. It is possible to prevent (suppress) the accumulation of dust 5 and the like.

Therefore, according to the light-scattering type dust densitometer A of the present embodiment, the dust concentration in the flue gas 1 becomes lower than the dew point, the mist 3 and the dust 5 are adsorbed and coexist, and the cloudy exhaust gas 2 becomes cloudy. Can be continuously and accurately measured in the flue 1 and continuously over a long period of time, and a more reliable light scattering dust concentration meter A for the cloudy exhaust gas 2 can be realized.

Although one embodiment of the light-scattering dust densitometer according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned one embodiment, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit thereof.

The light scattering dust densitometer of the present invention can be easily and inexpensively attached to an existing flue. In addition, only the dust in the cloudy exhaust gas below the dew point, which has been difficult until now, can be directly and directly in the flue even if the flow of cloudy exhaust gas is low, without being affected by other mist, and continuously and accurately. In addition, it is highly versatile and reliable because it can be continuously measured over a long period of time, and it is highly versatile, and explanations to residents who are worried that it may exceed the standard value for cloudy exhaust gas Evidence Can be provided. Furthermore, it can be used for white smoke prevention measures. Therefore, it can be expected to make a great contribution to the technical field and industry of exhaust gas measurement.
