' 5 Claims. (c1.122- 7) This invention relates to boilers and more tween the tubes and shell and consequent failparticularlywaste heat boilers for extraction of we of the boiler parts. The refrac ory n n heat from hot gases formed in industrial proc- I and the tubes restrict the path of flow of the esses. 1 v hot, dusty, corrosive gases so that thegases 5 It is an object of the invention to provide a sweep at relatively high'velocity over the tubes ,5 waste'heat boiler for the efficient extraction of and minimize collection on the tube surfaces of heat from corrosive, dust laden hot gases, in dust layers which would interfere with efficient which hot gases sweep at relatively high velocity transfer of heat from thegases to the liquid in over heat transfer surfaces substantially parallel the tubes.

Fig 3is a partial sectional view along line 3-3; 2 Other objects and advantages will appear-here o ig. 2- I inafter, 1 1 i In the drawing, l designates apparatus for In accordance with the invention, I have proproducing hot, corrosive, dust ladengases, which videdoa waste heat boiler of the liquid tube type may be, for'example, a'shaft furnace for roasting. involvingva refractory lined shell surrounding a .finely divided sulfides, e. g., iron pyrites, copper passageway for flow therethrough of hot, corpyrites, pyrrhotite, zinc blend and flotation con- 3 rosive, dust laden gases, e. g., sulfur dioxide concentrates of the same, while suspended in an oxitaining gases produced by the suspension roastdizing gas, for the production of sulfur dioxide ing in a shaft furnace of finely'divided sulfides, for use in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, the such as iron pyrites, pyrrhotite, flotation con;- paper making industry or other purposes. The
centrates, etc, and equipped in theneighborhot, corrosive, dust laden, sulfur dioxide con-.' hood of its-opposite ends-with liquid drums surtaining gases produced in shaft furnace I may be rounding the passageway and an expansion joint passed through pipe2 downwardly through the located between the drums. The drums are waste heat boiler of this invention designated connected by tubes located'within thelcassagegenerally by reference character 3 where the way and providing heat transfer surfaces for the gases are cooled and steam is generated andthen extraction of heat from the gasesthe major passed through conduit 4 to dust collector 5 or portions of the tubes extending substantially other apparatus. I parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shell, 1. e. Referring more particularly to Figs. 2 and 3, parallel to the direction of flow of gases through the boiler 3 involves a hollow vertical boiler shell the passageway, and theflopposite ends of the Esurrounding gas passageway l andequipped in I tubes being benttoWard-the shell and communithe neighborhood of its upper and lower ends 1 catingwith the liquid drums. The connections with annular water drums 9 and I0 respectively, between thetubes and the drums thus occurs which may be referred to collectively as a liquid outside the main flow of gases through the paschamber. The shell is provided intermediate the sageway. A steam drum is connected to the drums 9 and II! with an expansion joint H. 5
liquid drums by upcomers and downcomers. Drums 9 and I0 communicate with eachother This construction and location of the tubes by means of a series of water tubes I2, the major and the expansion joint compensate for unequal portions of which lie within the passageway 1 expansion and contraction of the waste heat parallel to the directionof flow of gases there- I boiler parts, preventing injurious strains bethrough, i. e. parallel to the longitudinal axis of 55 5 preciated that the connections 13 by downcomers contraction of the tubes and shell and prevent would damage the boiler,
injurious strains which e. g. break the connections betweenthe tubes and the shell, with consequent failure of the boiler.
The portions of the interior between the water drums 9 andglfl are lined with refractory material Hi. This refractory lining forms recesses in the passageway 'l within which are located connections l3 and confines the direct path of flow of the hot, dusty, corrosive gases so that the connections lie without the direct path of gas flow. It will be apbetween tubes l2 and drums 3, lil, if subjected to the direct flow of corrosive gases such as sulfur dioxide containing gases, would deteriorate more rapidly due to corrosion than the tube surfaces. The refractory lining not only protects the interior of the boiler shell against corrosion by the gases, but owing to the location of the connections [3 within recessesformed by the lining, protects these connections from the direct flow of the gases thereby minimizing corrosion of the connections.
Refractory limng i5 and tubes I? restrict the portion of passageway I in which the parallel portions of the tubes are located so that the hot gases sweep over these portions of the tubes at a ,higher velocity than through the remainder of the passageway. The high velocity of the gases and the parallel relation of the tubes to the direction of flow of the gases minimizes collection on the heat transfer surfaces of thetubes of dust layers which would impede transfer of heat from the hot gases to the liquid in the boiler and impair the eiiiciency of the boiler. The boiler shell may be provided with hand holes H to permit access to the interior of the drums'Q, iB'for purposes such as cleaning tubes- I2. The exterior surface of the shell is covered with heat insulation 2!. Valved outlets i9, 20
may also be provided for draining the drums and removing sediment therefrom.-
Steam drum '22 is connected to water drum Ill 2 1 and to water drum 9 by upcomers 26. comers and tubes l2 provide a circuit for flow of water through the steam drum, water drums and tubes. Reference numeral 3i] designates a connection between the top of water drum 9 and the steam drum to prevent steam from accumulating in the upper portion of water drum 9 and reference numeral 32 designates a water gauge on the steam drum. The steam drum is equipped with. a steam outlet 34.
The lower end of the boiler shell forms dust collecting chamber 38 into which dust settles from the gases passing through the boiler to outlet in. Reference numeral M designates a closure for the dust collecting chamber which may be opened periodically for removal of dust.
The cooled gases passing from the boiler through outlet 40 may be conducted to a dust collector} for removal of the remainder of the of the boiler shell, adjacent the point of entry of the hot gases and The steam drum, upcomers, downr dust and thereafter utilized for any desired purpose, e. g. sulfur dioxide containing gases may be employed in the manufacture of sulfuric acid or paper. Due to the reduction of the temperature of the gases in the boiler below that at which sulfur dioxide corrodes ordinary sheet iron or steel, with consequent reduction of the volume of the gases, the dust collector 5 may be of relatively inexpensive metal construction and small size as compared with the large, refractory dust chambers employed where the sulfur dioxide containing gases are passed directly from the shaft furnace into the dust collecting chamber.
Accordingly, it will be seen the boiler of this invention is economical. to maintain and is not subject to failure due to unequal expansion of the boiler parts. The portions of the boiler most subject to deterioration by the corrosive action of gases, such as hot sulfur dioxide containing gases from a shaft furnace, are protected from the direct flow of the gases, thereby minimizing corrosionof the'boiler parts. Thetubes forming the heat transfer. surfaces of the boiler are parallel to the flow of gases and the gas passage in which the tubes are located is restricted so the gases flow through the remainder of the boiler, thereby minimizing collection of dust on the tubes and promoting continuously efficient extraction of heat from the gases.
Since certain changes may be made in the above construction'without departing from the scope of the invention,'e. g. the hot gases may be passed upwardly instead of downwardly through the boiler, it is intended the above description shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
