- the super heater 104 is U-shaped, as illustrated in FIG. 7 , when the combustion gas 120 bypasses an upper space A on the upper side of the super heater 104 as bypass gas 113 without passing the super heater 104 , the combustion gas 120 flowing in the upper space A does not contribute to heat absorption of the super heater 104 .

- the boiler includes a downstream shield plate 11 A that is slidable in the vertical direction of the super heater 104 at a position downstream of the combustion gas flowing above the super heater 104 , thereby regulating the flow rate of combustion gas entering the upper space A of the super heater 104 .

- the downstream shield plate 11 A preferably has a height ranging from 10% to 15%, inclusive, of the total height of the super heater 104 and the upper space A. More specifically, given that the upper space A is approximately 15% as high as the total height of the super heater 104 and the upper space A, the downstream shield plate 11 A shields the upper space A, whereby the temperature of steam generated in the super heater 104 can be controlled by approximately 25%, and further by approximately 30%, better than other cases involving no downstream shield plate 11 A shielding the upper space A.

- incorporating the downstream shield plate 11 A in a new boiler that is newly manufactured makes a height H 2 of the super heater 104 smaller than the height H 1 of the super heater 104 in the existing boiler as illustrated in FIG. 3B , thereby increasing a height h 2 of the upper space A.
- This increases the flow rate of the bypass gas 12 that is regulatable with the downstream shield plate 11 A in association with the increased height h 2 of the upper space A compared with the existing boiler, thereby in turn increasing the regulatable amount of the flow rate of the mainstream gas 13 .

FIG. 6 is a schematic of an exemplary configuration of a marine boiler having a super heater that has been conventionally adopted. As illustrated inFIG. 6 , thisconventional boiler 100 includes aburner 101, afurnace 102, afront tube bank 103, a super heater (SH) 104, and an evaporation tube bank (rear tube bank) 105.Combustion gas 120 originating from combustion in theburner 101 flows from thefurnace 102 and passes through thefront tube bank 103, thesuper heater 104, and theevaporation tube bank 105 while exchanging heat therewith. Thecombustion gas 120 flows through anoutlet gas duct 106 and then flows out from agas outlet 107. The steam collected in asteam drum 108 is then supplied to some devices (not shown) as a driving source (see Patent Document 1). - In
FIG. 6 , thenumeral 109 indicates a water drum, thenumerals numeral 112 indicates a wall tube. - To control the temperature of the steam generated in the
super heater 104, theconventional boiler 100 extracts a part of the steam in the midstream of thesuper heater 104, reduces the temperature of the steam with thewater drum 109, makes the steam exchange heat with thesuper heater 104 again, and thus adjusts the outlet temperature of the steam generated in thesuper heater 104. Such a method is called a control desuper heater (CDSH). - For an efficient operation of the
boiler 100, thecombustion gas 120 needs to equally flow through an entire heat exchange tube bank that is made up of thesuper heater 104, theevaporation tube bank 105, and the like. Theconventional boiler 100 controls the steam temperature so that theboiler 100 is operated efficiently. - [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2002-243106
- Because the
super heater 104 is U-shaped, as illustrated inFIG. 7 , when thecombustion gas 120 bypasses an upper space A on the upper side of thesuper heater 104 asbypass gas 113 without passing thesuper heater 104, thecombustion gas 120 flowing in the upper space A does not contribute to heat absorption of thesuper heater 104. Therefore, heat exchange with the heat exchange tube bunk made up of thesuper heater 104 and theevaporation tube bank 105 does not take place. This causes problems of lowering the heat exchange rate in thesuper heater 104 and short of steam temperature. - Rated operation may not be available when the steam temperature changes out of a CDSH adjustable range, that is, for example, when the steam temperature rises to equal to or higher than 560 degrees Celsius or, the steam temperature is insufficient at, for example, equal to or lower than 515 degrees Celsius.
- In view of the problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a boiler configured to regulate flow patterns of combustion gas originating from combustion in a burner, adjust the temperature of steam generated in a super heater, and enable efficient operation, and a method for adjusting the temperature of steam output from such a boiler.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, a boiler that flows combustion gas produced by combustion in a burner through a super heater and an evaporation tube bank from a furnace, includes: a shield plate that is configured to be slidable in a vertical direction of the super heater or to be rotatable about one end as a rotation axis in order to allow adjustment of an opening degree thereof, the shield plate being provided at any one or both of an upstream side and a downstream side of the combustion gas flowing above the super heater. A flow rate of the combustion gas entering an upper space of the super heater is regulated.
- Advantageously, in the boiler, a temperature of a part of steam extracted in midstream of the super heater is reduced with a water drum, and the steam is provided to the super heater again, so that a temperature of steam of the super heater is adjusted.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for adjusting a temperature of steam of a boiler that flows combustion gas produced by combustion in a burner through a super heater and an evaporation tube bank from a furnace, includes: providing a shield plate that is configured to be slidable in a vertical direction of the super heater or to be rotatable about one end as a rotation axis in order to allow adjustment of an opening degree thereof, the shield plate being provided at any one or both of an upstream side and a downstream side of the combustion gas flowing above the super heater; and adjusting a flow rate of the combustion gas entering an upper space of the super heater by adjusting a sliding degree or the opening degree of the shield plate.
- Advantageously, in the method for adjusting a temperature of steam of a boiler, a part of steam is extracted in midstream of the super heater, a temperature of the steam thus extracted is reduced with a water drum, and the steam is provided to the super heater again, so that a temperature of steam of the super heater is adjusted.
- According to the present invention, by providing a shield plate that is slidable in the vertical direction of the super heater or that has a rotation axis on one end to enable adjustment of its opening degree at any one of a position upstream and downstream or both of the combustion gas flowing above the super heater, the flow patterns of combustion gas originating from combustion in the burner can be regulated. The amount of combustion gas that contributes to heat absorption of the super heater can be thus changed. Accordingly, the temperature of steam generated in the super heater can be controlled, and a controllable temperature range can be extended, whereby the boiler can be efficiently operated.
- The temperature of the steam generated in the super heater can be controlled by extracting a part of the steam in the midstream of the super heater; reducing the temperature of the steam with a water drum; supplying the steam to the super heater again; and thus adjusting the temperature of the steam in the super heater.

FIG. 1 is a schematic of the configuration of the boiler according to the first embodiment of the present invention. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , thisboiler 10A according to the present embodiment is a boiler configured to make combustion gas originating from combustion in theburner 101 flow from thefurnace 102 and pass through the super heater (SH) 104 and theevaporation tube bank 105. The boiler includes adownstream shield plate 11A that is slidable in the vertical direction of thesuper heater 104 at a position downstream of the combustion gas flowing above thesuper heater 104, thereby regulating the flow rate of combustion gas entering the upper space A of thesuper heater 104. - Among the whole combustion gas, combustion gas entering the upper space A of the
super heater 104 is referred to asbypass gas 12 and combustion gas passing through thesuper heater 104 is referred to asmainstream gas 13 in the present embodiment. - In the
boiler 10A according to the present embodiment, thedownstream shield plate 11A is oriented perpendicular to the flow direction of the combustion gas. Thedownstream shield plate 11A provided at a position downstream of the combustion gas flowing above thesuper heater 104 is slidable in the vertical direction. By regulating the flow rate of thebypass gas 12 entering the upper space A of thesuper heater 104 with thedownstream shield plate 11A, the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 passing through thesuper heater 104 is in turn regulated. -
FIG. 2 is an illustrative view of the flows of the bypass gas and the mainstream gas passing through the super heater. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , by making thedownstream shield plate 11A slide in the vertical direction, the flow rate of thebypass gas 12 can be regulated, and the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 is in turn regulated. - Specifically, the
conventional boiler 100 employs a straightening vane, for example, to regulate the flow of combustion gas and make the combustion gas flow evenly into thesuper heater 104 and theevaporation tube bank 105. By contrast, theboiler 10A according to the present embodiment employs thedownstream shield plate 11A that is slidable, and makes thedownstream shield plate 11A slide in the vertical direction, thereby directly regulating the flow rate of thebypass gas 12 entering the upper space A of thesuper heater 104, and in turn regulating the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 passing through thesuper heater 104. The temperature of steam generated in thesuper heater 104 can thus be controlled. - Specifically, by making the
downstream shield plate 11A slide in the vertical direction, regulating the flow rate of thebypass gas 12 entering the upper space A of thesuper heater 104, and in turn regulating the flow rate of themainstream gas 13, the amount of combustion gas that contributes to heat absorption of thesuper heater 104 can be changed. Accordingly, the temperature of steam output from thesuper heater 104 can be controlled. - The
downstream shield plate 11A preferably has a height equal to or more than that of the upper space A of thesuper heater 104 to enable control over thebypass gas 12 entering the upper space A with thedownstream shield plate 11A. - In the
boiler 10A according to the present embodiment, thedownstream shield plate 11A preferably has a height ranging from 10% to 15%, inclusive, of the total height of thesuper heater 104 and the upper space A. More specifically, given that the upper space A is approximately 15% as high as the total height of thesuper heater 104 and the upper space A, thedownstream shield plate 11A shields the upper space A, whereby the temperature of steam generated in thesuper heater 104 can be controlled by approximately 25%, and further by approximately 30%, better than other cases involving nodownstream shield plate 11A shielding the upper space A. - The
downstream shield plate 11A may be incorporated in an existing boiler or a newly manufactured boiler, both as theboiler 10A according to the present embodiment. - Incorporating the
downstream shield plate 11A in an existing boiler that has been installed enables regulation of the flow rate of thebypass gas 12 with thedownstream shield plate 11A by a height h1 of the upper space A relative to a total height H0 of a height H1 of thesuper heater 104 and the upper space A as illustrated inFIG. 3A , whereby the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 can be regulated. - By contrast, incorporating the
downstream shield plate 11A in a new boiler that is newly manufactured makes a height H2 of thesuper heater 104 smaller than the height H1 of thesuper heater 104 in the existing boiler as illustrated inFIG. 3B , thereby increasing a height h2 of the upper space A. This increases the flow rate of thebypass gas 12 that is regulatable with thedownstream shield plate 11A in association with the increased height h2 of the upper space A compared with the existing boiler, thereby in turn increasing the regulatable amount of the flow rate of themainstream gas 13. Consequently, the fluctuation range of the amount of combustion gas that contributes to heat absorption of thesuper heater 104 can be increased, and thus the controllable range of the temperature of steam output from thesuper heater 104 can be made large. - In the
boiler 10A according to the present embodiment, the height of the upper space A of thesuper heater 104 may be increased to extend the controllable range of the temperature of steam generated in thesuper heater 104. By increasing the height of the upper space A of thesuper heater 104 and increasing the slidable range of thedownstream shield plate 11A in the vertical direction, the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 can be regulated, and the controllable range of the temperature of steam generated in thesuper heater 104 can be extended. - Like in a method for controlling the temperature of steam that is employed with the
conventional boiler 100, theboiler 10A according to the present embodiment may also incorporate a so-called CDSH, which extracts a part of the steam in the midstream of thesuper heater 104, reduces the temperature of the steam with thewater drum 109, makes the steam exchange heat with thesuper heater 104 again, and thus adjusts the outlet temperature of steam generated in thesuper heater 104. By using the so-called CDSH to control generated steam, as well as controlling the flow of combustion gas with thedownstream shield plate 11A used in theboiler 10A according to the present embodiment and controlling the temperature of the steam, the controllable range of the temperature of steam generated in thesuper heater 104 can be further extended. - Accordingly, with the
boiler 10A according to the present embodiment, by regulating the flow rate of thebypass gas 12 entering the upper space A of thesuper heater 104 with thedownstream shield plate 11A, the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 passing through thesuper heater 104 can be regulated. The amount of combustion gas that contributes to heat absorption of thesuper heater 104 can be thus changed, whereby the temperature of steam generated in thesuper heater 104 can be controlled. - Further by increasing the height of the upper space A, the flow rate of the
bypass gas 12 that is regulatable with thedownstream shield plate 11A can be increased, and the regulatable amount of the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 is in turn increased. Therefore, the controllable range of the temperature of steam output from thesuper heater 104 can be made large. - A boiler according to a second embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to
FIG. 4 . -
FIG. 4 is a schematic of the configuration of the boiler according to the present embodiment. - The boiler according to the present embodiment has a similar configuration to that of the boiler according to the first embodiment; therefore, like elements have like reference numerals, and repeated descriptions will be omitted.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , thisboiler 10B according to the present embodiment includes anupstream shield plate 11B at a position upstream of combustion gas flowing above thesuper heater 104 in theboiler 10A shown inFIG. 1 , and adownstream shield plate 11C replacing thedownstream shield plate 11A at a position downstream of combustion gas flowing above thesuper heater 104 and having a rotation axis on one end to enable adjustment of its opening degree. - Specifically, the
downstream shield plate 11C has a rotation axis on its upper or lower end to enable adjustment of its opening degree. Referring toFIG. 4 , thedownstream shield plate 11C has a rotation axis on its lower end to enable adjustment of its opening degree. - The
upstream shield plate 11B provided at a position upstream of the combustion gas flowing above thesuper heater 104 is slidable in the vertical direction, and thedownstream shield plate 11C provided at a position downstream of the combustion gas flowing on the upper side of thesuper heater 104 has a rotation axis on its lower end to enable adjustment of its opening degree. With this arrangement, the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 passing through thesuper heater 104 is regulated. -
FIG. 5A is an illustrative view of flows of combustion gas in the boiler according to the first embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 5B is an illustrative view of flows of combustion gas in the boiler according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 5B , thedownstream shield plate 11C has a rotation axis on its upper end to enable adjustment of its opening degree. - Among the whole combustion gas in the
boiler 10A according to the first embodiment of the present invention, thebypass gas 12 is controlled to flow into thesuper heater 104 on the downstream of thesuper heater 104 with thedownstream shield plate 11A as illustrated inFIG. 5A ; therefore, thebypass gas 12 on the upstream of thesuper heater 104 does not contribute to heat absorption. By contrast, in theboiler 10B according to the second embodiment of the present invention, by making theupstream shield plate 11B slide upward as illustrated inFIG. 5B , thebypass gas 12 can be merged with themainstream gas 13. - The
downstream shield plate 11C when closed can prevent thebypass gas 12 or themainstream gas 13 ascending toward the upper space A of thesuper heater 104 from leaking out of the upper space A of thesuper heater 104. Accordingly, the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 can be increased in ratio. By controlling the flows into thesuper heater 104 on both the upstream and the downstream of thesuper heater 104, thebypass gas 12 and themainstream gas 13 can contribute to heat absorption of thesuper heater 104 on both the upstream and the downstream of thesuper heater 104. - The use of the
boiler 10B according to the second embodiment of the present invention can thus further extend the controllable range of the temperature of steam generated in thesuper heater 104. - By regulating the flow rate of the
bypass gas 12 entering the upper space A of thesuper heater 104 with theupstream shield plate 11B and thedownstream shield plate 11C, the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 passing through thesuper heater 104 can be regulated. The amount of combustion gas that contributes to heat absorption of thesuper heater 104 can be thus changed, whereby the temperature of steam output from thesuper heater 104 can be controlled. - In the
boiler 10B according to the present embodiment, by regulating the flow rate of thebypass gas 12 entering the upper space A of thesuper heater 104 with theupstream shield plate 11B and thedownstream shield plate 11C, the flow rate of themainstream gas 13 passing through thesuper heater 104 can be regulated. The amount of combustion gas that contributes to heat absorption of thesuper heater 104 can be thus changed, whereby the temperature of steam output from thesuper heater 104 can be controlled. - While the
boiler 10B according to the present embodiment includes theupstream shield plate 11B and thedownstream shield plate 11C above thesuper heater 104, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any one of theupstream shield plate 11B and thedownstream shield plate 11C may be provided above thesuper heater 104. Alternatively, thedownstream shield plate 11A employed in theboiler 10A according to the first embodiment illustrated inFIG. 1 may replace thedownstream shield plate 11C and be provided above thesuper heater 104, together with theupstream shield plate 11B. Furthermore, theupstream shield plate 11B may be a shield plate having a rotation axis on one end to enable adjustment of its opening degree like thedownstream shield plate 11C, whereby the shield plates on both the upstream and the downstream above thesuper heater 104 enable adjustment of their opening degrees. - In the
boilers super heater 104, and thus changing the amount of combustion gas that contributes to heat absorption of thesuper heater 104, the temperature of steam output from thesuper heater 104 can be controlled. - Therefore, they are applicable for marine boilers; however, the present invention is not limited thereto.
- As described above, the boilers and the methods for adjusting the temperature of steam output from a boiler according to the present invention can regulate the flow rate of combustion gas entering the upper space of a super heater with a shield plate, change the flow patterns of combustion gas, and regulate the flow rate of combustion gas passing through the super heater, thereby changing the amount of combustion gas that contributes to heat absorption of the super heater. The boilers and the methods, therefore, are suitably applicable for boilers that can control the temperature of steam output from the super heater and for methods for adjusting the temperature of steam output from such boilers.
