- In the drawings,
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a fire grate type incineration apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure,FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a fixed fire grate ofFIG. 1 ,FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a channel in the fixed fire grate ofFIG. 2 ,FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the channel in the fixed fire grate ofFIG. 2 ,FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a shield plate of the fixed fire grate ofFIG. 2 ,FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a shield plate for protecting a coolant channel of the fixed fire grate ofFIG. 5 ,FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an exhaust hole of a movable fire grate ofFIG. 1 , andFIG. 8 is a diagram showing an arrangement of fire grates located in the lateral direction. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the fire gratetype incineration apparatus 100 includes aninput hole 101 formed at one side of the upper portion thereof to input waste, anexhaust hole 103 formed at the other side of the upper portion to exhaust a combustion gas, and adischarge hole 105 formed at the other side of the lower portion to discharge incinerated material. - In addition, fire grates 110, 120 arranged in a step pattern are formed from the
input hole 101 toward thedischarge hole 105. The fire grates 110, 120 are classified into a fixedfire grate 110 and amovable fire grate 120, and the fixed fire grates 110 and the movable fire grates 120 are alternately arranged in a step pattern. In the fixedfire grate 110 and themovable fire grate 120 configured as above, themovable fire grate 120 is movable in the forward and rearward direction toward the inside of theincineration apparatus 100 by anexpansion device 140 connected at the rear portion thereof as much as an extension length of theexpansion device 140. - Therefore, the waste input through the
input hole 101 is incinerated while falling downwards by being pushed due to the movement of themovable fire grate 120, and gradually moves toward thedischarge hole 105. In detail, the waste falling on the upper surface of the fixedfire grate 110 located below themovable fire grate 120 moves to the front end of the fixedfire grate 110 due to the movement of themovable fire grate 120 and then falls onto the upper surface of amovable fire grate 120 located at a lower position from the front end of the fixedfire grate 110. In this state, if themovable fire grate 120 moves rearwards, the waste located on the upper surface of themovable fire grate 120 falls onto the upper surface of a fixedfire grate 110 located at a lower position, and as themovable fire grate 120 moves forwards, the waste is moved to the front end of the fixedfire grate 110 and falls downwards. In this way, waste moves and is incinerated. - The fixed
fire grate 110 and themovable fire grate 120 configured as above may be corroded due to corrosive gas such as HCl and SOx among the combustion gas, and this corrosion is classified into high-temperature corrosion occurring at about 350° C. or above and low-temperature corrosion occurring at about 150° C. or below. In other words, since the corrosion speed at the metal surface is slowest in the range of 150° C. to 330° C., in order to protect the fire grates 110, 120, the fire grates 110, 120 should be cooled to protect both high-temperature corrosion and low-temperature corrosion. In particular, in comparison to the fixedfire grate 110, themovable fire grate 120 is less exposed to the combustion heat. Therefore, the fixedfire grate 110 may be cooled by using a water-cooling manner with excellent cooling efficiency, and themovable fire grate 120 may be cooled by using an air-cooling manner. - Hereinafter, a water-cooling fixed fire grate will be described in detail.
- Among the fixed fire grates 110 shown in
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 shows some fixed fire grates 110 located in the same level. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the fixedfire grate 110 is connected to aninlet tube 111 and anoutlet tube 112 at the rear end thereof, and after a coolant is introduced into the fixedfire grate 110 through theinlet tube 111, the coolant flows along achannel 113 formed in the fixedfire grate 110 and absorbs heat of the fixedfire grate 110. In addition, the coolant is discharged through theoutlet tube 112 connected to the rear end of the fixedfire grate 110. - Since the coolant introduced into the fixed
fire grate 110 flows along thechannel 113 in the fixedfire grate 110, absorbs heat of the fixedfire grate 110 and is then discharged, the temperature of the fixedfire grate 110 is maintained in the range of 150° C. to 330° C. - The pattern of the
channel 113 may be changed in consideration of the flow rate of the coolant and the heat exchange efficiency of the fixedfire grate 110, and the pattern of thechannel 113 shown inFIG. 3 is just an example of various patterns. - In the fixed
fire grate 110 configured as above, a portion relatively greatly exposed to the waste combustion heat is a front end portion of the fixedfire grate 110. Therefore, thechannel 113 of the fixedfire grate 110 may be configured to allow the coolant to pass through the front end of the fixedfire grate 110 as shown inFIG. 4 and also to allow a great flow rate of the coolant. - In addition, as described above, the waste combusted by the
movable fire grate 120 located at an upper position falls onto the upper surface of the fixedfire grate 110. Therefore, the front end of the fixedfire grate 110 and the upper surface of the fixedfire grate 110 are greatly exposed to the combustion heat. In order to prevent corrosion caused by the combustion heat, as shown inFIG. 5 , theshield plate 115 is fixed to the upper surface of the fixedfire grate 110. Theshield plate 115 is made of chrome steel, ceramic material or the like, which may endure a high-temperature head load. - In addition, as shown in
FIG. 6 , at thechannel 113 formed in the front end of the fixedfire grate 110, theshield plate 115 is provided to surround thechannel 113 in order to prevent a corrosive gas from contacting achannel tube 114 so as to prevent corrosion. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , anexhaust hole 121 is formed at the front end of themovable fire grate 120 in order to supply a combustion gas. Since an external air cools themovable fire grate 120 and then is supplied into theincineration apparatus 100 through theexhaust hole 121 formed at the front end, the temperature of themovable fire grate 120 may be maintained in the range of 150° C. to 330° C., and also the external air preheated while passing through themovable fire grate 120 may improve the combustion efficiency of theincineration apparatus 100. - Regarding the movable fire grates 120 and the fixed fire grates 110 according to the present disclosure, fire grates 110, 120 adjacent to each other in the same level in the right and left direction as shown in
FIGS. 2 and 8 have a combination structure which allows engagement between them. In detail, steps 130 are formed at the sides of the fire grates 110, 120, and thesteps 130 of adjacent fire grates 110, 120 are engaged with each other to close a gap between the fire grates 110, 120 having thesteps 130, which may prevent waste or an incinerated melt from falling. In addition, thesteps 130 formed at the sides of the fire grates 110, 120 reinforce the fire grates 110, 120 and prevent thermal deformation thereof, which may prevent malfunction of the fire grates 110, 120. - While the exemplary embodiments have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
