Abstract
A cooling system for heavy ashes of the type adapted to be used in association with a combustion chamber, in particular for large flow rates of heavy ashes deriving, for example from solid fossil fuel, in an energy-production unit is described. The cooling system has: a transport belt for transporting the heavy ashes, adapted to be arranged below the combustion chamber and having a containment casing and a transport surface equipped with openings for the transit of cooling air, and cooling means for cooling the heavy ashes received on the transport surface.
Description
- The present invention relates to a cooling system for heavy ashes of the type apt to be used in association with a combustion chamber, in particular for large flow rates of ashes deriving for example from solid fossil fuel in an energy-production unit.
- Well-known dry cooling and extraction systems for heavy ashes produced in combustion chambers (or boilers) from solid fuel are based upon air cooling of an ash bed. To this end, the latter is transported on a belt resistant to high temperatures placed just below the throat of the boiler. Cooling air is drawn into the extraction system by the negative pressure present within the boiler, passing through proper openings of a containment casing of the belt. The air then runs the system and the ash bed in countercurrent to the sense of direction, thus operating the cooling of ashes and equipments.
- A system for extraction and cooling of that type just described is disclosed in EP 0 252 967.
- The above-mentioned mechanism of heat exchange between ashes and air in countercurrent affects the size of the extraction system, in terms of:
-
- air flow rate used, where the speed of air itself within the system has to be maximized to increase, as a result, the heat exchange coefficient with the ash; and
- wheelbase and speed of transport belt, parameters that are to be optimized to increase the residence time of the ash in contact with the air and to limit the height of ash layer.
- In fact, the efficiency of ash cooling is limited to the exposed and available surface for the heat exchange with the air. In particular, given the isolating nature of ash, the first layers licked by the air get cool whereas the inner layers of the ash remain at temperature.
- Therefore, a perfectible first aspect of the known system is related to the heat exchange mode between ash and cooling air.
- The relationship between the amount of cooling air and ash is typically 3:1, i.e. 3 tons of air are needed to cool 1 ton of heavy ashes. However, since, downstream of the ash cooling, all the air introduced into the boiler is drawn from the bottom of this, the amount of cooling air must not exceed 0.5 to 2, 0% of the total air of combustion. In fact, if it is alter over such limit, the stechiometric ratio between fuel and air results in a reduction of combustion efficiency and in an increase of losses to the fireplace.
- In particular, in the known systems mentioned above, factors that contributes to the increase in combustion efficiency (positive terms) are:
-
- the chemical energy of the, recovered by sensitive heat of cooling air thanks to the post combustion of unburned on the extracting belt favoured by the air;
- the sensitive ash heat, recovered through the sensitive heat of the cooling air reintroduced into the boiler; and
- the recovery of radiant floe at the throat of the boiler, absorbed by irradiated components of the system and transferred to the cooling air and extracted ashes.
- The factor that instead determines a decrease of the efficiency of the boiler (negative term) is the loss of efficiency at the air/smoke pre-heater. The latter involves the use of ambient air which precisely cools the combustion smokes, by pre-heating them. Such preheated air is sent into the combustion chamber. However, this specific amount of air has to be reduced to take account of the air introduced from the bottom of the boiler, and thus the lower intake of cooling air in the pre-heater determines higher temperatures of output fumes from the latter.
- Therefore, from the point of view of the overall combustion efficiency the system of heat exchange between ash and air cooling is perfectible.
- It should also be noted that the continued growth in demand for solid fossil fuels for the production of electric energy makes it even more frequent also the combustion of coals or lignites with high ash grade. The combustion of these latter in high power boilers leads to a significant production of heavy ash, even up to 100 tons/hour, often containing high percentages of unburned. The dry cooling or mostly dry of these quantities requires considerable flow of cooling air, even two or three times greater than fossil fuels with high calorific value.
- This leads to the important drawback that, in the prior art systems considered above, the amount of air required for cooling of ashes is much higher than the maximum percentage re-introduced into the combustion chamber through the throat of the boiler.
- According to the explanations in the previous section, the technical problem posed and solved by the present invention is to provide a system and a method that are optimized in terms of heat exchange between extracted ashes and air cooling, and that allow to overcome the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the prior art.
- This problem is solved by a system according to
claim 1 and by a method according toclaim 17. - Preferred features of the present invention are present in the dependent claims thereof.
- As explained in more detail below, the invention provides that an insufflating system—i.e. forced feeding system—is associated to the main extractor belt connected to the throat of the boiler—that takes the ambient air and pushes it inside the containing casing of extractor, in correspondence of one or more partitioned regions below the transport surface of the belt. The latter has dedicated openings—typically holes or cracks in the form of millings—which allows the passage of cooling air through it and then through the ash layer.
- In this configuration, the partitioned that allows directing the cooling air through the holes-cracks, minimizing air outflows of the regions of interest. Therefore, when the cooling air crosses the bed of ash realizes with it a heat exchange of called “cross flow” type, characterized by a heat exchange efficiency much superior to that of the dry extraction systems already known, and that due to the increased area surface of ash affected to the heat transfer. The cooling air is then introduced into the boiler from the bottom of this.
- In a preferred configuration, any outflows of cooling air, coming out from lights present between the transport surface and said partitioned region below without crossing the bed of ash, are recycled to the partitioned region of the main extractor, preferably by means of the same insufflating system.
- Thus, the invention allows to maximize the efficiency of heat exchange between the ash on the extracting belt and air cooling and so the cooling efficiency of the ashes.
- This implies a strong reduction on the ratio between the quantity of cooling air and flow of extracted ash and therefore the possibility to minimize the amount of cooling air reintroduced into the combustion chamber from the bottom, with a consequent strong reduction in losses associated with the air/smoke exchanger and an increase in net overall efficiency of combustion.
- In addition, the configuration of the invention, particularly in the preferred embodiments illustrated below, allows making the extraction and cooling system extremely compact and simple, even for the possibility of eliminating a auxiliary wet cooling system present in some known systems.
- In a particularly preferred configuration, there is also a further stage of cooling, preferably located downstream of a stage of crushing and based on an auxiliary heat exchanger of tube bundle type crossed by a working fluid cooling.
- In said further stage of cooling is expected a fluidization of the ash contained in a cooling volume, preferably performed by the same ambient air recovered for cooling on the main extraction belt. This fluidization allows an improved heat exchange with the surfaces of the tube sheaf. The head ash to be fluidized can be obtained by making a transport belt placed downstream the cooler and similar to the main extracting belt working in an extraction manner.
- According to another preferred feature of the invention, the main extracting belt connected to the throat of the boiler by means of a hopper selectively closable to block the ash flow. During the accumulation stage of the ash on the closed bottom of the hopper, there is a cooling of the ash by the same forced feeding system of cooling air, preferably obtained by the same main forced feeding system associated with the cooling on the belt.
- It will be appreciated that said cooling system allows avoiding an important drawback of the known systems, namely the fact that at the opening of the hopper, large amounts of ash at high temperature have to be cooled on the belt, potentially out of the nominal parameters of the system.
- Other advantages, features and conditions of employment of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of certain preferred embodiments presented for illustrative purpose without limiting the scope of the invention. Reference will be made to the figures of the annexed drawings, wherein:

FIG. 6A shows a cross section view of the belt ofFIG. 6 , performed along the line AA of the latter figure. - With reference to
FIG. 1 , a preferred embodiment of extraction and cooling system of heavy ashes of the invention is globally indicated with 1. Thesystem 1 is of the type apt to be used in association with a combustion chamber orboiler 2, in particular for large flow rates of ashes deriving for example from solid fossil fuel in an energy-production unit. - The
boiler 2 may be an integral part of thesystem 1 or provided separately from it and is equipped with anextraction hopper 21, the latter typically lined inside with refractory material. Thehopper 21 is associated with a system that allows the closing of its bottom and then of theboiler 2 throat, which will be described in greater detail later. - The initial part of a
continuous transport belt 31, moving along a closed path, is placed in correspondence of the bottom of theboiler 2. During the use, thebelt 31 receives from thehopper 21 the ashes produced by theboiler 2 and substantially carries them in the form of continuous bed. In particular, the ashes are received on aupper transport surface 311 of thebelt 31 during a return run of it. On thistransport surface 311, during the movement away of the ashes from theboiler bottom 2, takes place the dry cooling of the ashes themselves, by means of a flow ambient air which is sent into acontainment casing system 3 of thebelt 31 according to ways that will be shortly described. - The
transport belt 31 and itscasing 3 may have a globally construction of the kind described in EP 0 252 967 or EP 0 931 981. - Moreover, as shown in
FIGS. 6 and 6A , passing openings for coolingair 9 are made on thecontinuous belt 31 for example in the form of holes or, as represented, cracks obtained by milling. - Always with reference to
FIG. 1 , thesystem 1 is equipped with means of cooling of the ashes received on thetransport belt 31, apt to determine a feeding of cooling air in correspondence of those ashes. - Such cooling means include means of forced feeding of air, for example based on a blower or
compressor 11 and on an associated intake pipe ofambient air 111, the latter preferably equipped with appropriate control means selectively operable, in particular avalve 112. Such aspirated ambient air is sent to a feeding pipe, globally denoted by 13, that conduct it to a partitionedregion 4 associated with thebelt 31. Even the feeding to the partitionedregion 4 is preferably controlled by appropriate control means selectively operable, in this case in particular avalve 134. - In
FIG. 1 , a singlepartitioned region 4 was represented for simplicity, arranged downstream of the bottom boiler with respect to the direction of advancement of thetransport surface 311 and below to the latter, interposed between the there and back tract of thebelt 31. However, the partitioning preferably extends longitudinally to cover the whole bottom of the transport surface 311 (as shown inFIGS. 2 , 2A and 3, 3A). - Moreover, in one embodiment, different partitioned regions may be made discretely distributed along said
transport surface 311, below it. - The partitioned
region 4 is apt to minimize outflows of alleged cooling air in it, so that such air passes almost entirely through theopenings 9 of thetransport belt 31, thereby effectively cooling the bed of ashes received on thetransport surface 311. - The blower or
compressor 11 then generates a suitable pressure gradient to overcome the losses distributed and concentrated along thecircuit 13 and associated with thetransport belt 31 and the overlooking layer of ash. - In a first embodiment shown in
FIGS. 2 and 2A , the partitionedregion 4 is affected bytransverse baffles 6, arranged transversely to thetransport surface 311 with respect to the direction of this advancement, and bounded laterally by twolongitudinal baffles 7, spanning according said progress direction. - The lateral baffles 7 are arranged near the
transport surface 311 and itsroller support 14, so as not to interfere with the movement of each body but at the same time minimizing light outflows through the air cooling alleged in the partitionedregion 4. - In addition, the arrangement of the
transverse baffles 6 of the partitioning of the region below thetransport surface 311 ensures a labyrinth seal to the cooling air, assisting the sealing action to the lateral air outflows by means ofbaffles 7. - Always in this example, the partitioned
region 4 is bounded below by a tilted-surface plate 5 for recovering of any lost fines during the transport on thesurface 311. Thelongitudinal baffles 7 have each a correspondinglower end door 72, selectively openable to the outside through amechanism 71, preferably hinged, for the downflow of fines toward the bottom of the containment casing 3 (where they can be recovered by a cleaning system not shown). Preferably, the downflow system based ondoor items 72—mechanisms 71 is timed. - In a second embodiment of the partitioned
region 4 shown inFIGS. 3 , 3A,transverse baffles 6 are still provided, in this case associated with bulkheads or lateral baffles 51 which extend longitudinally along thebelt 31, substantially parallel to it, upper to thetransport surface 311 and each along a respective side of this, where the contact or proximity of said baffles 51 with the containment ends 81 of thetransport belt 31, allows limiting the passage of air that does not pass through thehole belt 31. - In this second embodiment, each of the tilted-
surface plate 5 presents alower end door 725 selectively openable to the outside through amechanism 715, preferably hinged, for the purposes of downflow of fines toward the bottom of saidcontainment casing 3. Thus, when—during normal operation—thedoor 725 is closed, it keeps a tight air, being in direct contact with the side wall of thecasing 3. - A further embodiment may provide the combined presence of these side walls arranged at the upper transport surface, of the lateral baffles placed lower to the latter and with selectively openable doors and of a tile, the latter typically without doors as in the first embodiment described above.
- The globally configuration of the cooling means is such that the ash layer transported on the
surface 311 is cooled by a flow of ambient air passing through it transversely from the bottom to the top along the entirely length of the cooling forced region consists of the partitionedregion 4 and comprises between the first and the lasttransverse baffle 6. The cooling air which has passed through the bed of ash, is attracted in theboiler 2 from the bottom of it being this, as well known for a skilled person in the technical filed, at pressure values lower to the environment of thecasing 3. - As already mentioned, the mechanism of heat exchange between air and ash thus obtained is characterized by high thermal efficiency, thanks to the large ash surface available for the contact with the ambient air.
- In
FIGS. 2 , 2A and 3, 3A typical containinglateral edges 8 flanking longitudinally theentire transport surface 311 are also represented. - Always with reference to
FIG. 1 , to prevent uncontrolled entry into theboiler 2 of cooling air that escapes from the lights of the partitionedregion 4, in this embodiment are provided means of air re-circulation in that region, preferably openable by the same forced feeding means 11. In the present example, these means provide a pipe for extractingair 131 from thecasing 3 in communication with the feedingpipe 13. - In particular—and also with reference to
FIGS. 2 , 2A/3, 3A—the circuit 13-131 can take air from anregion 15 between thecasing 3 and the lateral baffles 7 (FIG. 2 ) or between thecasing 3 and bottom faces of the tile 5 (FIG. 3 ) and send it back to the partitionedregion 4 below thetransport surface 311. The recirculated air, not having passed the bed of ash, will have a temperature close to the environment one. Also in this preferred embodiment example, said air outflows can be intercepted bypressure control 16 means, apt, in use, to detect by sensors a pressure difference between afirst area 161 in thecasing 3 arranged above thetransport surface 311 and asecond area 162 arranged in saidcasing 3 lower thetransport belt 31. - In
FIG. 1 , theseareas casing 3 immediately below thecombustion chamber 2. Thearea 162 may also coincide with the above-mentionedarea 15, being the pressures substantially equal in the two areas. - The pressure control means 16 are in communication with the air recirculating means and then with the feeding forced means 11 by a
control valve 132 selectively openable. Preferably, there is an automatic control mean associated with thesystem 1 and with themeans 16 that, if a overpressure in thesecond zone 162 is detected, operated thevalve 132 so to determine an extraction of air through thepipe 131 and its return within the partitionedregion 4, bringing the pressure difference between the twoareas area 162/15 to thearea 161 is prevented. - Always with reference to
FIG. 1 and now also toFIG. 5 , preferably thesystem 1 also provides feeding means of cooling air to theextraction hopper 21 of theboiler 2, apt to allow a cooling of the ash held on that said hopper when it is closed, for example, during short periods of maintenance of thebelt 31 or any other operational need or discontinuous management arrangements of thesystem 1. Preferably such means are operated by the same forced feeding means 11 and are based on feeding means 100 even in this case with selectively adjustable air flow rate, for example by one ormore valves 101. - As mentioned above, the
hopper 21 provides a locking system that allows accumulation of the heavy ash on it. This system is formed preferably by one or morerefractory valve 212 preferably servo-controlled and operated according to a rotating closing movement. - Such feeding means of cooling air to the
hopper 21 allow the cooling of the ash during said accumulation phase in the hopper and are preferably operated automatically by closing thebottom valves 212. Thepipe circuit 100 feeds one ormore air inlets 213 made on thebottom valves 212, resulting in an homogenous distribution of the air from the bottom of thehopper 21. The entering air to thehopper 21 is of course sent at a pressure such to overcome the loss of load generated by the layer of ash accumulated, thus procuring a suitable cooling of the bed of ash present on the valves. - Always with reference to
FIG. 1 and now also toFIG. 4 , in this configuration thesystem 1 also includes a second assembly/casing transport belt, globally denoted by 30 and similar to the first, arranged downstream of themain belt 31 by means of interposition of anash crusher 17 and of anauxiliary cooling device 18 oftube bundle type 183. - The presence of the
second transport belt 30 may be advisable depending on the amount and size of the ash. It may be associated with it forced feeding air means of one or more partitioned regions and eventually recirculation air means similar to those already described with respect to thefirst transport belt 31 and preferably integrated with these. In such a configuration, the cooling air introduced into the area below thebelt 30 is then drawn into theboiler 2 by the pressure running existing therein. - The crushing
device 17, which may also include multiple stages of fragmentation in sequence, allows increasing the ash surface available for the cooling, thus increasing the overall efficiency of the latter. - The
auxiliary cooling device 18 provides that the ash is accumulated within avolume 181 defined bywalls 182 preferably metal and associated with these tube bundles 183, also preferably metal and constantly traversed by a fluid at low temperature, preferably water. Still in a preferred configuration, thesebundles 183 are arranged horizontally or however that develop in the direction substantially orthogonal to that of a fluidizing gas flow that will be introduced shortly. - The
second transport belt 30 is controlled by fed speed and transport width such to realize an ash head within thecooling device 18 associated with it, working as ash puller from the latter. At the basis of thecooling volume 181, there is a feeding circuit of a fluidizinggas 133, preferably also with a selectively adjustable flow rate through appropriate means such as avalve 135. - In the present example, the fluidization gas is air, and in particular the same cooling air fed by force by the
means 11 and through thevalve 134 and thepipe circuit 13. - The feeding of fluidizing air affects preferably the entire outer perimeter of the
walls 182. The air sent in this way within thevolume 181 fluidizes the ash present, promoting a high number of collisions of ash particles with the surfaces of thetubes 183 cooled by the water. In this way an effective additional cooling of the ash is obtained all the more appreciated as much as the smaller size of the particles of the fluidised ash. - Another object of the invention is a method of extraction, cooling and recovery of heavy energy ash as described so far in relation with the
system 1. - The ash cooling means into the hopper and its method as described above and as an object of the following dependent claims could also be protected independently from the invention as defined in
claims - Similarly, the fluidization system of the ash in a tube bundle cooler and its method as described above and as an object of the following dependent claims could be protected independently from the invention as defined in
claims - The present invention has been described so far with reference to preferred embodiments. It is intended that there may be other embodiments which refer to the same inventive nucleus, all falling within the protection of the claims set out below.
