Abstract
A device and method for measuring the operating condition of an open anode furnace, includes at least one sensor for measuring the temperature and/or determining the fuel quantity or the burner capacity of the burners allocated to the anode furnace, or for determining the opacity of the air, and for the independent and automatic control of the process management of the anode furnace. This is achieved by at least one measuring device for measuring the throughput of air flowing through the anode furnace provided in an air duct of the anode furnace through which air flows. The measured values are evaluated by an electronic control unit, and the electronic control unit sets the operating condition of the anode furnace according to the particular measured values.
Description
- The present invention relates to a management process for an open anode furnace in accordance with the pre-characterizing part of
Clause 1 as well as to a device for measuring the operating status of an open anode furnace and for managing its process in accordance with the pre-characterizing part ofClause 5. - To date, an open or covered anode furnace has been operated in such a way that the specialist personnel operating the anode furnace have to rely on many years of professional experience to enable the workers to control the anode furnace. This means that the specialist personnel responsible for operation regulate the burner power, for example, in order to increase or reduce the temperature in the burner zones. The temperature is measured at various points in the anode furnace for this purpose.
- However, an anode furnace control method of this type has the disadvantage that the specialist personnel are often unable to achieve the optimum operating setting of the anode furnace because information is lacking. This is because the parameters that are decisive in terms of optimum energy utilization can only be inadequately assessed and estimated by the specialists. For example, it is conceivable that an obstacle could occur within the air duct that could under certain circumstances cause a local reduction in the volume of air passing through this area of the anode furnace, leading to a rise in temperature whereas there may be a drop in temperature at another point. Even increasing the burner power has no effect in the event of a reduction in the throughput of air in the area of the burner, because the lower amount of heating air available does not transport the additionally input burner energy to the anodes immediately with the effect that the burner energy is applied to the walls of the anode furnace. This, however, leads to significant damage to the anode furnace because the walls of the anode furnace are not designed to withstand such an elevated level of heat stress.
- Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that the personnel operating the anode furnace cannot reliably estimate at what moment a section of the anode furnace has become unusable and therefore must be renewed. Instead, such decisions have in the past been based on statistical observations and values drawn from experience, which in some cases has led to a section being renewed too soon or even too late. This causes unnecessary operating costs because the energy consumption increases.
- Furthermore, it is highly costly to operate a faulty section or a section which is not being used optimally in terms of energy because the anode furnace requires additional energy in order to burn the anodes it contains.
- To date, no device for automatic control of an anode furnace has been disclosed.
- It is therefore the task of the present invention to provide a management process for an anode furnace of the aforementioned type, by means of which the anode furnace can be operated automatically over a relatively long period. This process is intended to provide measuring parameters by means of which an electronic control unit automatically undertakes the process management of the anode furnace. Also, the service life of the anode furnace should be extended because the process management remains within an optimum energy band. Furthermore, it is the task of the present invention to provide a device by means of which the process management of the anode furnace can be undertaken.
- The task in accordance with the present invention for managing the process of the anode furnace is accomplished by the features of the characterizing parts of
patent claims patent claim 6. - Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are apparent from the subordinate claims.
- By means of the device and process in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to measure a heating duct index that is permanently adjusted to the actual operating situation in the anode furnace. In this case, an electronic control unit allocated to the device evaluates the measurement results and compares these with a predefined or mathematically calculated actual operating condition, and adapts the actual operating status to the optimum actual value of the anode furnace. This provides an advantageous way of obviating the need for specialist personnel in order to monitor and conduct the process management of the anode furnace. Rather, the process management of the anode furnace can be based on precisely predefined values so as to make it possible to operate the anode furnace with optimum use of energy.
- Also, the relevant parameters are determined in each section of the anode furnace so that it is possible to verify clearly in which section which actions have to be taken.
- For example, the electronic control unit increases or reduces the air throughput through the anode furnace in accordance with the volume of air actually needed in the individual zones. If necessary, it is also possible to increase or reduce the quantity of fuel in order to control the output of the burners so as to achieve the optimum energetic temperature required for combustion of the anodes.
- Consequently, the process management of the anode furnace takes place fully automatically and requires only minor manual checks, for example to see whether the measuring instruments used are in need of repair and that they are delivering correct measurement values. As a result, a fully automatic furnace process management of this kind only requires a small number of personnel which allows considerable personnel cost savings. In addition, process management is adapted to achieve an optimum energy profile and therefore the energy consumption can be reduced to the magnitude required for optimum operation of the anode furnace.
- The drawing shows a sample embodiment configured in accordance with the present invention, the details of which are explained below. In the drawing,

FIG. 2 shows the anode furnace in accordance withFIG. 1 , as a side view, together with a temperature/time curve configured for the process management of the anode furnace, -
FIG. 3 shows two adjacent sections of the anode furnace in accordance withFIG. 1 , as a magnified plan view, and -
FIG. 4 shows a cut-out of the anode furnace in accordance withFIG. 1 and its sections, to which certain actual operation conditions are allocated. - FIGS. 1 to 4 show an
anode furnace 2 to which adevice 1 for process management is allocated. Thedevice 1 is intended to allow theanode furnace 2 to be controlled automatically without the need for extensive monitoring activity by the operating personnel. - The
anode furnace 2 shown inFIG. 1 consists of three individual fires with an identical structure. The structure and the mode of function of theanode furnace 2 is explained in more detail using the first fire. Each fire can be divided into threezones anodes 7 that are to be burned are placed in onesection 6 each inzone 3. Inzone 4, the positionedanodes 7 should be burned by threeburners 10 and the burned anodes should cool 7 inzone 5. - This means it is necessary for air to be channeled through the
anode furnace 2 and through the threezones air duct 9 is provided in theanode furnace 2 for this purpose and it connects theindividual sections 6 and therefore also thezones damper flap 13 each is provided at the output and input of theair duct 9 in order to allow the quantity of air sucked into theair duct 9 to be controlled. Aventilator 14 is allocated tozone 3 and to theair duct 9 emerging there, by means of which the air is drawn throughzones anode furnace 2. Consequently, air enterszone 5 of theanode furnace 2 with the normal room temperature of the surrounding area and cools down theheated anodes 7. Nevertheless, there is a heat exchange between theanodes 7 and the sucked-in air, with the result that the air flowing intozone 4 is heated up. The threeburners 10 further heat the air inzone 4, so that theanodes 7 placed there are exposed to the operating temperature required for combustion. - The air flowing onwards into
zone 3 therefore has a further elevated temperature, resulting in theanodes 7 placed inzone 3 being preheated. - Once the anodes in
zone 4 have been burned up, theburners 10 are moved and transferred tozone 3 in order to burn theanodes 7 placed there. In this way, the anode furnace in its entirety represents a closed control loop in which the following procedures occur in a recurring sequence: the three fires burn the positionedanodes 7, theanodes 7 cool down and theanodes 7 are preheated; in a further three zones, meanwhile, theanodes 7 can be placed for burning or the burnedanodes 7 can be removed from theanode furnace 2. - In order for the furnace management process to be performed automatically, an
electronic control unit 12 is allocated to each individual fire in theanode furnace 2. Furthermore, each of thesections 6 that formzones temperature sensors 16,sensors 17 for measuring the air throughput andsensors 20 for measuring the opacity of the air, by which is meant the obtaining soot particle concentration in the air.Temperature sensors 16 andsensors sections 6 and pass these on to theelectronic control unit 12. - The values measured in this way are used by the
electronic control unit 12 for creating a heating duct index that is made up of the measured temperature and/or the measured volumetric flow of air and/or the quantity of fuel supplied and the combustion capacity of theburners 10 and/or the opacity of the fire generated by theburners 10 and/or the level of negative pressure obtaining in thezone burners 10. This heating duct index is now compared with an actual operating value of theanode furnace 2 that has an optimum energy level. Theelectronic control unit 12 makes appropriate adjustments in case there are discrepancies. Following this, the heating duct index is once more compared with the actual operating value. - The heating duct index is adjusted to the actual operating value by the
damper flap 13 at the entrance to theair duct 9 being opened or closed further, for example, with the effect that either more or less air enters theanode furnace 2. If necessary, the burner power of theburners 10 can also be adjusted by reducing or increasing the quantity of fuel. Controlling theventilator 14 is also another way of increasing or reducing the air throughput. There are alsoindividual dampers 13 in the inside of theanode furnace 2 inside theair duct 9, which means that, in principle, eachsection 6 can be individually supplied with air. -
FIG. 4 in particular shows that theindividual sections 6 are monitored with the effect that it is possible to measure precisely which of thesections 6 are running with optimum energy utilization, or which of thesections 6 may be damaged as a result of the permanent stress caused by fluctuations in temperature and will have to be renewed. Thesesections 6 are shown as a black field inFIG. 4 , which means the operating personnel can easily find out which of thesections 6 will have to be completely renewed in the next cooling-down phase in order to achieve an optimum use of energy during operation.
