BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hot air circulating system for forming a strong circulating flow by taking out gas in a furnace once out of the furnace and then increasing the speed of the gas back into the furnace.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a combustion gas is forcibly circulated in order to flatten a furnace temperature or the like. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a circulating flow 103 is formed in the furnace 104 by a hot air circulating fan 101 and a duct 102 which takes out gas in the furnace out of the furnace 105 and returns the gas to the furnace 104 again. .

However, since the strong circulating energy is determined by the flow rate and pressure of the airflow,
According to the conventional system for forcibly circulating hot air, there is a limit to the strong circulation that can be obtained. That is, since the pressure is proportional to the square of the flow velocity, in order to increase the flow velocity, the pressure must be increased in proportion to the square of the flow velocity. However, when the pressure increases by the square, the power of the circulation fan increases extremely, so that the discharge pressure cannot be increased and the circulation amount is limited.

[0004] In addition, if an attempt is made to use high-temperature hot air, cooling of heat-resistant blades and fan shafts is required, and the number of failures increases. Therefore, there is no fan that can withstand high-temperature hot air. It was difficult to circulate high-temperature hot air. For this reason, in the conventional hot air circulation system,
The maximum gas temperature that can be circulated outside the furnace is around 650 ° C,
It is usually only applicable to low temperature furnaces, e.g.

Therefore, according to the conventional hot air circulation system, the effect of circulating the gas in the furnace is insufficient, and there has been a problem that the furnace cannot be made compact and high performance.

In order to achieve the above object, a hot air circulation system according to the present invention takes out a burner for a heat source which forms a flame in a furnace and burns it, and takes out combustion gas in the furnace to the outside of the furnace and re-exposes it. And a circulation path outside the furnace for refluxing from another place into the furnace. The circulation path outside the furnace is provided with a heat storage body at a take-out port and a return port part close to the furnace and has a circulation fan, and the suction port side and the discharge port side of the circulation fan are either one of the heat storage bodies. A flow path switching device that selectively connects to each other and relatively switches a flow direction of an airflow with respect to the heat storage body to alternately take out combustion gas from the furnace through the heat storage body and supply it to the furnace; and A flow switching device having a heat removal means for performing heat removal or dilution for changing the gas property of the air flow in the extra-circulatory circulation path between both heat storage bodies, and alternately burning and synchronizing the heat source burners. Thus, a high-temperature strong circulation flow that periodically reverses the flow direction of the gas flow is formed in the furnace.

[0008] Therefore, a part of the gas in the furnace is introduced into the circulation path outside the furnace by the negative pressure generated by the circulation fan, and after being pressurized by the circulation fan, injected again into the furnace at a high speed and strongly circulated in the furnace. Form a flow. At this time, the in-furnace gas passes through the regenerator on the suction side of the out-of-furnace circulation system, and the sensible heat is discarded to the regenerator to be cooled. Then, it is introduced into the circulation fan in a low temperature state, and after being pressurized, passes through the heat storage body on the opposite side, is heated again by direct heat exchange there, and is then injected into the furnace.

[0009] A high-velocity flow of in-furnace gas that causes strong circulation in the furnace usually lowers the flame temperature and causes misfire. However, in the case of the first aspect of the present invention, since the temperature of the gas in the furnace is higher than the ignition temperature of the fuel even if the flow velocity increases,
Since the temperature at the ignition point does not drop so much, it has excellent ignitability, flame stability, and the flame does not blow out. In addition, the high-speed jet of the gas in the furnace causes a strong circulation of the combustion gas in the furnace, so that the temperature in the furnace is flattened (averaged) and a local high-temperature region is not generated. That is, if the fluid can be supplied at a high speed, the amount of gas circulated in the furnace can be significantly increased in a wide area of the heating space by the momentum. As a result, the gas temperature difference in the furnace is reduced, and the temperature field can be made ultra-flat, so that a local high-temperature region is not generated.
For this reason, the furnace average temperature can be raised to near the limit temperature, and the amount of heat transfer can be increased.

On the other hand, in the extra-furnace circulation system, the gas properties of the circulating airflow are changed by heat removal or dilution by the heat removal means, thereby preventing the equilibrium temperature from rising. Here, the equilibrium temperature and the return port temperature due to the heat removal of the circulating airflow are represented by the following Equation 1.

The airflow equilibrium temperature tc of the circulating fan suction port is governed by the temperature difference Δt of the circulating airflow and the temperature efficiency of the heat storage body.
In the case of 00 ° C., the relationship is as shown in FIG. The equilibrium temperature and the return port temperature due to the dilution of the circulating airflow are represented by the following equation (2).

The airflow equilibrium temperature tc at the circulating fan suction port is governed by the amount of diluted air ΔG to the circulating airflow and the temperature efficiency of the heat storage body.
When the temperature is 000 ° C. and the atmospheric temperature to is 20 ° C., the relationship is as shown in FIG. Thus, an increase in the equilibrium temperature is prevented from being caused by a change in the gas properties due to an appropriate amount of heat removal or dilution in the extra-furnace circulation system.

Here, the heat removal means is not particularly limited to the installation location as long as it is between the heat storage bodies at both ends provided at the take-out port and the return port near the furnace of the extra-furnace circulation system. It is preferable to be arranged between the road switching device and the suction side of the circulation fan. In addition, the heat removal means is, for example, a means for injecting a small amount of diluting gas such as air or exhaust gas into the circulating gas, a heat exchanger, a material preheating section of a heating facility, or a heat retaining means for a flow path between both heat storage bodies. It is constituted by making it thin.

Further, in the hot air circulation system of the present invention, the heat source burner includes a heat storage body, and supplies combustion air or exhausts gas in the furnace through the heat storage body.

In this case, when the combustion gas is exhausted, the sensible heat is recovered by the heat storage body, and is then used again for preheating the combustion air with extremely high thermal efficiency and returned to the furnace.
The temperature of the combustion air can be set at a high temperature close to the temperature of the combustion exhaust gas flowing out to the regenerator, and high thermal efficiency can be maintained. Further, since the combustion position in the furnace is switched in a short time and the injection direction of high-temperature hot air, that is, the direction of the flow of the circulating flow, is switched accordingly, a non-standing flame in which the flame position changes frequently becomes a non-standing flame and the temperature distribution in the furnace. Can be made more uniform, and uneven heating can be reduced.

Here, as the heat storage bodies, the heat storage bodies 11A and 11B used in the burner for the heat source and the heat storage bodies 5A and 5B disposed in the extra-furnace circulation system 4 are relatively low in pressure loss. It is preferable to use a cylinder having a large number of honeycomb-shaped cell holes formed of a material having a large heat capacity and high durability, for example, a ceramic. For example, a high temperature fluid of about 1000 ° C. like combustion exhaust gas and 20 ° C. like combustion air
For heat exchange with the low-temperature fluid before and after, it is preferable to use a honeycomb-shaped one manufactured by extrusion molding using a ceramic such as cordierite or mullite as a material. The honeycomb-shaped regenerator is made of a material other than cordierite and mullite, such as a material other than alumina and ceramics, such as a metal such as heat-resistant steel, or a composite of ceramic and metal, such as a metal melted in pores of a ceramic having a porous skeleton.

Alternatively, a honeycomb-shaped heat storage body may be obtained by bundling tubes or the like without forming them integrally. In addition, the shape of the heat storage body is not particularly limited to the honeycomb shape, and a flat or corrugated heat storage material is radially arranged in a cylindrical casing, or a fluid passes in a pipe-shaped heat storage material in the axial direction. As described above, the casing may be filled in a cylindrical casing.

For example, when operating the burner 3A, the four-way valve 12 is switched so that the burner 3A is connected to the combustion air supply system 13, and one fuel control valve is opened and the other fuel control valve is opened. close. As a result, the supplied combustion air is preheated to a high temperature close to the exhaust gas temperature, for example, about 800 to 1000 ° C. while passing through the heat storage body 11A, and then flows into each burner throat, and is injected from each fuel nozzle.

Here, maximizing the amount of heat transfer by high-efficiency heat transfer is a method of reducing the amount of heat energy supplied to the heat device by improving the heat transfer efficiency. For that purpose, the average heat flux must be increased, so that an increase in the heat transfer coefficient and an increase in the temperature of the temperature field are fundamental. Therefore, if the temperature level of the entire furnace can be increased to the maximum allowable value under the condition that the amount of heat energy supplied to the heating device is constant, the amount of heat transfer increases. Then, in order to return the increased heat transfer amount to the same amount as before, the amount of heat energy supplied to the heating device may be reduced. This is energy saving by "maximizing the amount of heat transfer by high-efficiency heat transfer".

However, in the conventional ordinary combustion technique, when an attempt is made to increase the temperature level in the furnace, a region where the allowable maximum value is always locally generated. That is, in order to stably burn the turbulent diffusion flame in normal combustion, it is essential to form a flame holding region. Therefore, in the normal combustion, a high-temperature region is generated centering on the flame holding region, so that a temperature distribution having a large bias is inevitably formed in the heat device. As a result, this is a constraint, and it has been considered that a method of improving the average heat flux, that is, a method of forming an appropriate high-temperature field is poorly feasible.

When the amount of gas circulated in the furnace is relatively small, the amount of radiant heat transfer from the flame region to the object to be heated increases drastically as the furnace temperature rises, and the heat capacity of the gas flowing in the furnace becomes small. The heat transfer from the high-temperature gas part of the furnace volume plays a large part in the amount of heat given to the object to be heated. The gas in the other area where the temperature has fallen outside the flame area is retained in the furnace only because the temperature is still too high to be discharged outside the furnace as it is, and for the purpose of slight heat transfer to the object to be heated and heat retention It's being used. For this reason, a general furnace has a larger volume than necessary, despite the fact that most of the volume of the furnace contributes to heat transfer. If the furnace is made compact, the gas temperature at the furnace outlet will increase, and if the amount of heat recovery is not sufficiently increased, the amount of exhaust heat will increase and the thermal efficiency of the furnace will decrease.

Because it is a method of returning the combustion exhaust gas to the inlet and ejecting it at high speed, the flow rate of the gas flowing in the furnace is the sum of the amount of air and fuel input plus the amount of circulating gas, and the amount of circulating gas increases The gas flow in the furnace becomes intense, which promotes mixing and increases the amount of convective heat transfer, resulting in a smooth temperature distribution.

Further, when the gas circulation rate is increased by the high-speed injection of the circulating airflow, the maximum temperature of the flame is greatly reduced due to an increase in the heat capacity of the combustion gas. That is, when the amount of circulating gas increases, the local temperature rise due to combustion decreases in inverse proportion to the amount of flowing gas in the furnace, and the axial distribution of the temperature in the furnace flattens. In addition, the maximum temperature in the furnace decreases in inverse proportion to the increase in the gas circulation rate, but the average temperature in the furnace hardly decreases, and the maximum temperature in the furnace approaches the average temperature in the furnace, and the temperature distribution in the furnace averages.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the hot air circulation system of the present invention, the gas in the furnace passes through the heat accumulator on the suction side of the circulation path outside the furnace and the sensible heat is discarded to the heat accumulator to reduce the temperature. After that, it is introduced into the circulating fan in a low-temperature state, and after being pressurized, passes through the heat storage body on the opposite side, is heated again by direct heat exchange there, and is then injected into the furnace. It can be used to form a high temperature strong circulating air flow in the furnace. That is, since the temperature of the gas in the furnace circulating in the hot air circulation system outside the furnace is low, the size of the circulation fan can be increased (capacity can be increased), and the discharge flow rate can be increased to generate strong circulation.

This high flow velocity of the gas in the furnace usually causes a flame temperature drop and causes a misfire.
Even if the flow velocity rises, the temperature is higher than the ignition temperature of the fuel, so that the temperature at the ignition point does not drop so much, so that the ignitability is excellent, the flame is stable, and the flame does not blow out. In addition, the high-speed jet of the gas in the furnace causes a strong circulation of the combustion gas in the furnace, so that the temperature in the furnace is flattened (averaged) and a local high-temperature region is not generated. That is, if the fluid can be supplied at a high speed, the amount of gas circulated in the furnace can be significantly increased in a wide area of the heating space by the momentum. As a result, the gas temperature difference in the furnace is reduced, and the temperature field can be made ultra-flat, so that a local high-temperature region is not generated. For this reason, the furnace average temperature can be raised to near the limit temperature, and the amount of heat transfer can be increased. In addition, since the maximum temperature in the furnace is reduced, it is possible to reduce NOx.

Therefore, the hot air circulation system of the present invention reduces the thermal stress on the furnace structure because the temperature difference in the furnace is reduced by making the temperature in the furnace uniform, and the conventional heat resistant technology is used by reducing the maximum temperature. It is possible to sufficiently cope with the problem and to reduce damage due to local high temperature. In addition, since the average temperature in the furnace can be increased, the entire furnace can be used for heating, which increases the amount of convective heat transfer to the same object to be heated.
