Definitions

  • the invention pertains to a grate panel for an incineration grate, an incineration grate composed of such grate panels, as well as a waste (refuse) incineration plant with such an incineration grate.
  • the most important component of a waste incineration plant is the incineration grate that is arranged horizontally or in an inclined fashion and on which the material to be incinerated, for example, garbage, is conveyed from a first end to a second end that is usually referred to as the burnout grate.
  • the required incineration air is forced through the incineration grate.
  • Corresponding openings are provided in the incineration grate for this purpose. This means that the material being incinerated (waste material) is essentially processed in three steps, namely “dried,” then “incinerated” and ultimately converted into slag. These three steps may be individually controlled, if so required.
  • Such a grate comprises movable parts (grate panels) that are able to carry out stoking movements in order to convey the material being incinerated (the refuse) along the incineration grate.
  • the individual grate panels lie on top of one another such that they are offset in a stair-like fashion in the region of their long side that points to the incineration chamber. For example, if every second grate panel is realized in a movable fashion, the movement of such a grate panel causes the solid waste lying on the respectively ensuing grate panel referred to the transport direction to be additionally conveyed to the next grate panel.
  • RDF refuse derived fuel
  • the individual types of waste materials differ with respect to their calorific value. However, this also applies within the individual types of waste materials.
  • household garbage may have a calorific value between 5 and 20 MJ/kg.
  • incinerating materials with a higher calorific value it is frequently preferred to utilize incineration grates, the grate panels of which are cooled with a liquid, e.g., water.
  • a liquid e.g., water
  • the expenditures for such a water-cooling system are significantly higher than those for an air-cooling system.
  • the more effective water cooling also leads to a more intensive cooling of the grate panels that is undesirable in certain incineration processes.
  • the invention is based on the objective of disclosing an option for also incinerating materials (waste material) with higher calorific values, particularly calorific values>10 MJ/kg, by means of an air-cooling system.
  • each grate panel is primarily subjected to particularly intense thermal stresses toward the incineration chamber, i.e., on its upper side and its front face.
  • Primary air is conveyed against the lower side of the grate panels, i.e., it cools these grate panels from the bottom, and forced into the layer of material being incinerated that lies on the grate panels through openings in the grate panels or between the grate panels.
  • a certain cooling volume for carrying off the generated heat is available underneath the thermally stressed section of each grate panel.
  • the cooling effect is insufficient, particularly in the edge region. This means that such regions, for example, the face (long side) of a grate panel that points to the incineration chamber, are at risk of corroding and eroding.
  • the invention proposes to arrange at least one flow channel in the region underneath the upper side and adjacent to the front long side of the grate panel, wherein air is conveyed from below in a targeted fashion against the upper side and the adjacent front long side.
  • This design forms a structure similar to an air nozzle, wherein the air cools the critical front section of the respective grate panel (that points to the incineration chamber) “from below” with a correspondingly high flow speed.
  • This at least one flow channel is also realized with an air outlet opening in the section of the corresponding face (face area) that is situated adjacent to the lower side, namely such that the air flow is subsequently conveyed in a targeted fashion onto the surface of the ensuing grate panel—referred to the conveying direction of the material being incinerated—and also cools this surface.
  • This targeted air flow against the adjacent grate panel provides the additional advantage of largely preventing deposits observed in the state of the art at this location. Such deposits are also referred to as pick-ups and produced on incineration grates according to the state of the art, for example, by metals precipitating from the material being incinerated.
  • the conventional cooling system used so far serves for cooling the “rear” section of the grate panel.
  • the invention pertains to a grate panel for an incineration grate with the following characteristics:
  • the grate panel is realized with a plurality of recesses underneath the upper side, wherein said recesses are respectively open toward the lower side and extend from a region that is situated adjacent to the first long side to a region that is situated adjacent to the second long side.
  • the flow channel or the flow channels extend(s) perpendicular to the long sides of the grate panel. In other words: the air flows along the flow channels in the direction toward the front face area of the grate panel.
  • the length of the flow channel can normally be limited to a length that corresponds to 10-50% of the grate panel width, wherein a length between 10 and 30% usually suffices. This is in particular the panel section that is not passed (covered) by an adjacent panel in a reciprocating incineration grate.
  • the periphery of a grate panel usually does not have an exactly cuboid shape.
  • the front face area (second long side), in particular, does not extend perpendicular to the upper side of the grate panel.
  • the second long side may extend at an angle ⁇ 90° relative to the upper side and, if so required, be additionally angled at least once.
  • the flow channel also does not extend in a straight fashion, but rather follows the shape of the grate panel in this region.
  • the flow channel describes—if viewed in the form of a section—a semicircle or is angled several times. This simultaneously results in a longer flow channel.
  • the cooling effect can be intensified if the flow channel extends relatively close to the respective surface areas of the grate panel.
  • an upper (outer) wall of the flow channel is formed by an (inner) surface of the upper side and an (inner) surface of the second long side in this case.
  • a lower (inner) wall of the flow channel may be formed by a rib extending between walls or webs that form, for example, lateral limitations of the aforementioned recesses.
  • the support of adjacent grate panels and the transport of the material being incinerated along the incineration grate can be simplified if the lower side of the grate panel (also referred to as grate stage) is realized such that the upper side of the grate panel is inclined (for example, by 3-10°) from the first long side to the second long side (i.e., from the rear toward the front) when the grate panel is supported on a horizontal surface.
  • the lower side of the grate panel also referred to as grate stage
  • the upper side of the grate panel is inclined (for example, by 3-10°) from the first long side to the second long side (i.e., from the rear toward the front) when the grate panel is supported on a horizontal surface.
  • the lower side may be realized with a downwardly protruding projection adjacent to the second long side (front face) as discussed in the following description of the figures.
  • the grate panel in question overlaps the following grate panel (grate stage), referred to the transport direction of the material being incinerated, with this projection.
  • its front long side preferably ends a certain distance from the upper side of the ensuing (following) grate panel, and the outlet opening of the flow channel accordingly lies above the support surface of the ensuing grate panel.
  • the targeted air flow against the upper surface of the adjacent grate panel is favorably influenced in this fashion. This is also discussed below in the description of the figures.
  • the additional cooling according to the invention makes it possible to realize the sections of the grate panel that are situated adjacent to the flow channel thinner than the remaining sections of the grate panel. This not only lowers the material requirement, but also improves the cooling effect.
  • This “thinner” section is not limited to the front long side of the grate panel, but may also extend over adjacent sections of the upper side of the grate panel.
  • Grate panels of the aforementioned type have a width (broad side), for example, of 40-60 cm and a length of several meters.
  • a grate panel in the form of several adjacent, interconnected segments that are also referred to as grate bars.
  • the individual segments may consist of cast parts, wherein the flow channel can be realized in situ. This means that each segment is realized integrally.
  • the segments (grate bars) may also be composed of smaller segments, particularly if they are welded from sheet metal material.
  • a grate bar may have a width, for example, of 5-25 cm or more (in the longitudinal direction of the entire grate panel).
  • Adjacent grate bars are interconnected by means of conventional connecting techniques, for example, with screws or by connecting several grate bars with the aid of connecting rods.
  • the thusly formed panels of grate bars can then be interconnected analogously.
  • the grate panels are realized such that at least one recess is formed by two adjacent grate bars (segments), i.e., each grate bar forms part of the corresponding recess, for example, one half thereof.
  • the invention also pertains to an incineration grate, particularly a reciprocating incineration grate, with a plurality of grate panels of the previously described type.
  • reciprocating grate includes all types of reciprocating grates, namely regardless of the fact if they extend horizontally or in an inclined fashion and if the material being incinerated is conveyed in one or the other direction.
  • reciprocating grate also includes conveyor grates in which, for example, every second grate panel is realized in a movable fashion, as well as grates in which more than one stationary grate panel is positioned between two grate panels that carry out respective movements.
  • the invention also pertains to a waste incineration plant, for example, a garbage incineration plant, with an incineration grate of the previously described type.
  • FIG. 1 the front sections of two grate panels of a conveyor grate that lie on top of one another, namely in the form of a vertical section, and
  • FIG. 2 a section along the line A-A in FIG. 1 .
  • the grate panel has an upper side 10 , a lower side 12 , a rear long side 14 , a front long side 16 and two broadsides that are not visible due to the chosen line of section.
  • the upper face area 10 o of the upper side 10 is realized in a plane fashion.
  • the second, front long side 16 is angled relative to the upper surface 10 o by an angle ⁇ (approximately 45°) and subsequently angled at 16 w.
  • the lower side of the grate panel Adjacent to the first (rear) long side 14 , the lower side of the grate panel contains a recess 18 that extends in the longitudinal direction (into the plane of projection), wherein a round rod 20 lies in said recess and supports the grate panel.
  • the upper grate panel shown in FIG. 1 can be moved in the direction of the arrow P with the aid of this round rod 20 .
  • each grate panel is provided with a plurality of adjacently arranged recesses 22 .
  • Each recess 22 is laterally limited (parallel to the broadsides) by walls, only one wall 24 of which is visible in the figure.
  • the recess 22 is limited by a corresponding section 14 a of the first long side, wherein the recess is limited by the front (second) long side 16 on the front end (that points into an incineration chamber 26 ).
  • Several cooling ribs 28 protrude from the wall 24 into the recess 22 .
  • a wall 30 that essentially has the shape of an arc in said sectional view transforms into a thickened section 30 v at the front end adjacent to the second long side 16 and also extends between adjacent walls 24 , which thickened section protrudes over a lower face edge 16 u of the second, front long side 16 and forms a support surface 30 u for the grate panels.
  • This wall 30 forms a lower (inner) wall of a flow channel 32 that extends from the lower end 16 u of the second long side 16 parallel to the wall 30 (such that the inner surface of the long side 16 forms the other limitation of the flow channel 32 ) and is then limited by a lower surface 10 u of the upper side 10 before it opens in the direction toward the lower side 12 of the grate panel.
  • the wall 30 ends on the lower end of the recess 22 ; however, it could also end before the lower end of the recess.
  • a funnel-shaped inflow opening for the cooling air results underneath the grate panel, wherein the cooling air flows against the entire recess 22 including the section that is situated underneath the wall 30 .
  • the part of the cooling air conveyed through the flow channel 32 is symbolized by the arrow K.
  • the air flowing against the upper side 10 of the grate panel additionally cools the section situated adjacent to the flow channel 32 from outside.
  • Deposits that are caused by precipitating materials, particularly metals precipitating from the material being incinerated, and indicated by the dotted region 34 in FIG. 1 can be prevented in this fashion.
  • the intensified cooling (additional cooling) in the particularly critical front section of the grate panel makes it possible to realize the wall thickness of the grate panel thinner in this section than in the rear section of the grate panel as shown in the figure.
  • the upper side 10 has a thickness of 12 mm in the rear section 10 r and a thickness of only 6 or 8 mm in the front section (that is situated adjacent to the flow channel 32 ). This applies analogously to the wall thickness of the second long side 16 .
  • the grate panel is composed of a plurality of adjacently arranged segments that directly adjoin and are connected to one another. These segments are also referred to as grate bars.
  • FIG. 2 shows that each grate bar T 1 , T 2 forms a wall 24 approximately in its center such that a recess 22 is respectively limited by two adjacent grate bars T 1 , T 2 .
  • Bores 36 illustrated in FIG. 1 serve for receiving rods that are used for interconnecting adjacent segments T 1 , T 2 .
  • a grate panel is composed of a plurality of such segments T 1 , T 2 , for example, 50- 60 segments.
