DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention is attached to an exhaust pipe such as a chimney, it relates to collecting case exhaust device for adjusting the draft force.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, exhaust from a combustion device such as a boiler or an incinerator is performed through a chimney. Exhaust gas introduced into the chimney has a specific gravity smaller than that of air at a high temperature, so that a difference in specific gravity from air causes buoyancy. The buoyancy causes the exhaust gas to rise, and on the other hand, the exhaust gas is newly introduced from the combustion chamber of the boiler, so that the emission is promoted. The phenomenon in which exhaust gas is sucked upward in such a chimney (exhaust stack) is called “draft”. The force (hereinafter referred to as "draft force") exerted in the exhaust stack by the draft increases as the chimney becomes higher, and as the exhaust gas becomes hotter and has a lower specific gravity. The draft force is set so as to be appropriate according to the combustion equipment. However, if the draft force is excessive, the pressure in the furnace on the combustion device side (hereinafter, referred to as furnace pressure) decreases, and combustion occurs. Adversely affect sex. Here, in this document, the draft force is obtained by subtracting various losses such as flow path loss from the buoyancy.

[0003] There are two types of chimneys for combustion devices: one for each combustion device, and one for collecting exhaust gas from a plurality of combustion devices into one or several chimneys. In the case of mounting for each combustion device, the amount of change in the exhaust gas is small, and the exhaust is performed without any problem. On the other hand, in the case of the above-mentioned collective chimney, if there is no change in the number of activated combustion devices or the amount of combustion in each combustion device, the exhaust from the chimney is smoothly performed without any trouble. However, when the number of activated combustion devices increases or decreases, or when the combustion amount of each combustion device fluctuates, the amount of exhaust gas discharged into the chimney fluctuates greatly, so that the draft fluctuates. That is, high-temperature exhaust gas is discharged from the operating combustion device, but if the draft force of the exhaust gas generated at this time is excessive, air is sucked from the stopped combustion device via the blowing means. And
It flows into the exhaust stack. When the stopped combustion device is started, the furnace pressure is negative, so that more air than the specified amount is supplied, which adversely affects the combustibility. In particular, in the case of a combustion device using gas fuel,
Because the supply pressure of the fuel is low, the fuel is sucked into the combustion furnace, so that the fuel supply amount exceeds a prescribed value. However, since the height and inner diameter of the chimney for discharging the exhaust gas are determined by the combustion amount and the number of boilers, and by restrictions on installation, it is difficult to set the draft force to an appropriate value. .

When the combustion device is started, at the start of combustion, exhaust gas rapidly flows into the exhaust cylinder, and the pressure in the exhaust cylinder rises sharply, so that the combustion device itself is also affected by this pressure. . That is, if the pressure in the exhaust stack rises sharply, the furnace pressure of each combustion device will increase, which may cause oscillating combustion.

BRIEF Problems to be Solved problem for the present invention is resolved, it is possible to adjust the draft force with a simple configuration, to provide a can Ru collector coupling exhaust system prevents pressure fluctuations in the exhaust pipe It is.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is applied to a draft regulator attached to an exhaust pipe of a combustion device such as a boiler or an incinerator to keep the flow state of exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust pipe, that is, a draft stable. Is done. The draft regulator of the present invention is generally used by being mounted near the base of an exhaust stack, but in the case of a so-called collective chimney system, when it is mounted on each exhaust pipe before being assembled and when it is mounted on the exhaust stack after being assembled There is. Here, for the purpose of controlling the above-mentioned draft, the mounting direction of the draft regulator is preferably such that the exhaust gas flows in the vertical direction, but even if the draft regulator is mounted in the horizontal direction, the draft regulator may be mounted in the horizontal direction. Can be controlled.

[0008] The draft regulator according to the present invention comprises a first cylindrical portion on the side receiving exhaust gas from combustion equipment and a second cylindrical portion on the side discharging exhaust gas toward a chimney or the like. A portion of a predetermined length on the downstream side of the first cylindrical portion is arranged at a predetermined interval in the radial direction inside the upstream side of the second cylindrical portion, and a third portion located inside the second cylindrical portion. A tapered portion is formed on the downstream side of the cylindrical portion. Further, a flow space is formed between the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion to communicate the inside of the second tubular portion with the outside air. According to this configuration, the exhaust gas ejected from the first cylindrical portion has its flow velocity increased by the tapered portion at the tip, and flows into the second cylindrical portion. When the exhaust gas flows from the first cylindrical portion to the second cylindrical portion, the static pressure is converted into a dynamic pressure, and the static pressure at the tip of the tapered portion becomes a negative pressure, thereby reducing the pressure in the flow space. Therefore, outside air (air outside the draft regulator) is introduced into the second cylinder through this circulation space.
Therefore, the temperature of the exhaust gas in the second cylindrical portion decreases due to the inflow of the outside air, and the specific gravity increases. Therefore, the buoyancy due to the specific gravity difference between the exhaust gas and the outside air in the exhaust pipe decreases, and further, in the exhaust pipe, the force due to the buoyancy is consumed to introduce the outside air and accelerate to the same speed as the exhaust gas. You.
Accordingly, the draft force is reduced by these, but the amount of air flowing in from the circulation space decreases with the reduction of the draft force, and the draft force becomes a predetermined value. As described above, the draft regulator of the present invention controls the draft force of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust cylinder, and stabilizes the pressure on the first cylinder portion side. By stabilizing the pressure on the first cylinder side, the furnace pressure of the combustion equipment is also stabilized. Here, the flow space is formed in a ring shape between the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion, and is appropriately divided in a circumferential direction, that is, one or a plurality of flow paths along the axial direction of the cylindrical portion. In the case where the shape is appropriately divided in the circumferential direction, a configuration formed with a slight inclination with respect to the axial direction is included.

Further, in the draft regulator according to the present invention, a portion having a predetermined length on the downstream side of the first cylindrical portion is arranged inside the upstream side of the second cylindrical portion at a predetermined radial distance. I have. This configuration is suitable for the case where the amount of exhaust gas suddenly increases due to ignition of the combustion device or change in the amount of combustion, etc.
It has a function of preventing a sudden increase in pressure in the first cylindrical portion. That is, at the same time as the amount of exhaust gas flowing in the first cylindrical portion rapidly increases, the pressure rapidly increases. The exhaust gas and air downstream of the second cylindrical portion do not move suddenly due to their inertia. Therefore, the exhaust gas temporarily flows into the flow space between the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion. Thereafter, when the exhaust gas in the second cylindrical portion starts to move, the exhaust gas in the circulation space also flows into the second cylindrical portion. Therefore, according to the draft regulator of the present invention, even if the exhaust gas increases abruptly on the combustion device side, the pressure rise is buffered by the circulation space, so that stable exhaust gas circulation is performed. This is to prevent leakage of exhaust gas and soot during ignition.

Further, in the draft regulator according to the present invention, a second tapered portion is formed in the second cylindrical portion at a position facing the tapered portion of the first cylindrical portion. With this configuration, the inflow of outside air from the circulation space to the second cylindrical portion is smoothly performed.

Further, in the draft regulator according to the present invention, a liquid receiving portion is formed on the inner peripheral portion on the upstream side of the second cylindrical portion, and a drain pipe is connected to the liquid receiving portion, so that the inside of the exhaust cylinder is reduced. Drain the generated dew water without fail. That is,
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) in the exhaust gas dissolve into the condensed water to produce low-concentration nitric acid and sulfuric acid, which is one of the factors that corrode the draft regulator and the exhaust stack. However, the above configuration prevents this corrosion by reliably discharging dew water.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a draft regulator according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a cross-sectional shape of the first embodiment of the draft regulator according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a use form of the draft regulator according to the present invention.

First, the use of the draft regulator of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 exemplifies a boiler as a combustion device, and further illustrates, in this example, a collective stack system in which exhaust gases from a plurality of boilers are collectively discharged. In the drawing, a plurality of boilers 2 are installed in a boiler room 1. The exhaust pipe 3 of each boiler 2 extends upward and is connected to one collective exhaust pipe 4 arranged substantially horizontally. The exhaust stack 4 collects exhaust air from the boilers 2 indoors and discharges the exhaust gas to the chimney 5 outdoors. With the above configuration, the draft regulator 1 according to the present invention
Numeral 0 is attached near the base on the upstream side of the exhaust stack 3 of each boiler 2. The two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 illustrates the case where the draft regulator 10 is attached to the root of the chimney 5 downstream of the exhaust stack 4.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a draft regulator 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, the draft regulator 10 includes:
The exhaust pipe 3 includes a first cylindrical section 11 connected to the boiler 2 side and a second cylindrical section 12 connected to the collective exhaust pipe 4 side. A portion of a predetermined length on the downstream side of the first cylindrical portion 11 is
Arranged at predetermined intervals in the radial direction inside the upstream side of the second cylindrical portion 12. That is, the downstream portion of the first cylindrical portion 11 is
It has a so-called overlapping configuration in which a predetermined length is inserted inside the second cylindrical portion 12. This first cylindrical portion 11
A flow space 14 for communicating the inside of the second cylindrical portion 12 with the outside air is formed between the two at the overlapping portion 20 between the first cylindrical portion 12 and the second cylindrical portion 12. Further, a tapered portion 13 is formed on the downstream side of the first cylindrical portion 11 located inside the second cylindrical portion 12. Further, in the second cylindrical portion 12, a corresponding second tapered portion 15 facing the tapered portion 13 is formed.

The function of the draft regulator having the above configuration will be described. First, a case will be described in which each boiler 2 starts combustion and enters a constant combustion state, and the temperature and flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust pipe 3 of each boiler 2 are constant. In this case, paying attention to one boiler 2, the exhaust gas from the boiler 2 flows into the second tubular portion 12 from the first tubular portion 11 through the tapered portion 13 at the tip thereof. When the exhaust gas passes through the tapered portion 13, the flow velocity increases because the cross-sectional area of the flow path is narrowed. When the exhaust gas flows from the tapered portion 13 into the second cylindrical portion 12, the pressure in the flow space 14 is reduced. Therefore, outside air is sucked from the flow space 14 between the first cylindrical portion 11 and the second cylindrical portion 12 and flows into the second cylindrical portion 12 together with the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas that has flowed into the second cylindrical portion 12 is diluted by the introduction of the outside air, and the temperature decreases and the specific gravity increases.
That is, since the specific gravity difference between the exhaust gas and the outside air is reduced, the buoyancy due to the specific gravity difference between the exhaust gas and the outside air in the exhaust pipe 3 is reduced. Further, in the second cylindrical portion 12, in order to suck the outside air and accelerate the same to the same speed as the exhaust gas to raise the same,
The force due to the buoyancy is consumed. Although the draft force decreases due to the above-described increase in specific gravity and loss due to power consumption, the draft force stabilizes at a predetermined value because the amount of air flowing in from the circulation space 14 decreases as the draft force decreases. Accordingly, during the steady combustion of the boiler 2, the draft force in the exhaust pipe 3 is constant, so that the pressure in the first cylinder section 11 is constant, and the furnace pressure of the boiler 2 is stabilized. As described above, the draft force of the exhaust stack 3 of each boiler 2 is similarly kept constant, so that the flow of the exhaust gas after the collective exhaust stack 4 is kept stable and discharged from the chimney 5. This situation is the same when one chimney 5 is attached to one boiler 2.

A case where the number of operating boilers 2 and the amount of combustion on each boiler 2 change from the above-described state will be described. In this case, since the temperature and the flow rate of the exhaust gas in the collective exhaust pipe 4 also change, the draft force in the chimney 5 changes. However, as described above, the draft force in each exhaust cylinder 3 is controlled to be substantially constant by the draft regulator 10 attached to each of the exhaust cylinders 3, so that the draft force exerts on the draft of the exhaust gas from the exhaust cylinder 3 to the collective exhaust cylinder 4. There is almost no effect. Therefore, as described above, the first cylindrical portion 1
The pressure at 1 is controlled to be substantially constant, and the furnace pressure of each boiler 2 is stabilized.

In this case, in the boiler 2 in the stopped state, the inside of the stack 3 is sucked by the influence of the draft from the stack 4 to the chimney 5. However, in the exhaust pipe 3 of the stopped boiler 2, outside air is sucked from the circulation space 14 of the draft regulator 10 and flows into the exhaust pipe 3, so that the air is blown through the blower (blower means: not shown) of the boiler 2. The amount of air drawn in will be greatly reduced. Therefore, in the stopped boiler 2, an appropriate amount of air and fuel can be supplied even when the boiler 2 is started without being affected by the furnace pressure, and ignitability and combustibility are stabilized.

Further, when the boiler 2 is ignited or when the amount of combustion increases, the amount of exhaust gas flowing through the first cylindrical portion 11 increases rapidly, and at the same time, the pressure increases sharply. The rapid pressure increase in the section 11 is buffered by the draft regulator 10 and is prevented from being transmitted to the downstream side or to the upstream side. That is, the exhaust gas from the boiler 2 is transferred from the first cylinder 11 to the second cylinder 12.
The air above the second cylindrical portion 12 does not move suddenly due to its inertia. Therefore, the exhaust gas flows through the first space 11 and the second space 12 between the first space 11 and the second space 12.
4 temporarily. Thereafter, when the exhaust gas in the second cylindrical portion 12 starts to move toward the collective exhaust tube 4, the exhaust gas in the circulation space 14 also flows into the second cylindrical portion 12 as the exhaust gas moves. Therefore, the above-mentioned exhaust gas does not adversely affect the upstream side and the downstream side by releasing the pressure into the flow space 14 between the first cylindrical portion 11 and the second cylindrical portion 12, and the exhaust gas is stabilized. Distribution takes place. Also,
Exhaust gas does not leak from the draft regulator 10. Further, at this time, if the boiler uses a liquid fuel, the exhaust gas may contain dust such as soot, but as described above, the first cylindrical portion 11 and the second cylindrical portion 1
By providing the overlap portion 20 in which the two are overlapped, there is no discharge to the outside.

Further, a trough-shaped liquid receiving portion 16 is formed at the downstream end of the second cylindrical portion 12 along the inner periphery thereof. Further, a drain pipe 17 communicating with the liquid receiving section 16 is connected to the outer surface of the downstream end of the second cylindrical section 12 so that dew water in the exhaust pipe 3 is reliably discharged. .
That is, the condensed water contains nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas.
And sulfur oxides (SOx) are dissolved to generate low-concentration nitric acid and sulfuric acid, which cause corrosion of the draft regulator 10 and the exhaust stack 3. However, in the present invention, this corrosion can be prevented by reliably discharging the dew water by the above-described configuration.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the draft regulator according to the present invention. In the second embodiment, the second cylindrical portion 12 has a cylindrical shape. The downstream side of the second tubular portion 12 has the same tubular shape as the first tubular portion 11. In the second embodiment, the portion of the second cylindrical portion 12 that covers the outer periphery of the first cylindrical portion 11 is the first cylindrical portion 1.
A cylindrical shape having a diameter larger than 1 is formed, and an annular flow space 14 is formed between the second cylindrical portion 12 and the first cylindrical portion 11 as described above. The operation related to the control of the draft in the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description is omitted. However, according to this configuration, there is an advantage that manufacturing is facilitated.
