Description

Oct. 21, 1952 J. w. HOOD FORCED CIRCULATION BOILER Filed April 1. 1947 78 Y 56 co/vaM/z5/2 INVENTOR. 77185 [1/ Hood proximately 50% at circuit exit, to thus provide a substantial factor of safety to reduce tube failure due to over-concentration of solids or superheat conditions resulting from heat unbalance between circuits, over-firing due to heat storage, over-firing due to subnormal pressure, etc.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a forced circulation boiler design to Provide greater stability due to its increased water storage.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a forced circulation boiler having two or more forced circulation sections arranged in series to generate and discharge steam into a steam drum or separator, together with means for automatically controlling the operation of said sections.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a forced circulation boiler embodying one or more natural circulation sections and a continuous blow-down to take the place of the spillover apparatus heretofore employed in once-thru boilers.
This invention embodies other novel features,
details'of construction and arrangement of parts which are hereinafter set forth in the specification and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a forced circulation boiler embodying features of this invention.
Fig. 2 is a wire diagram illustrating the means employed to vary the flow of steam from the primary separator to the secondary separator responsive to variations in water level within said primary'separator.
Referring now to the drawing for a better understanding of this invention, the forced circulation boiler is shown as comprising a pump 6 for forcing feed water under pressure through a boiler inlet conduit I into a lower header 8 and thence upwardly through a group of tubes 3 employed as a primary heating section II. Steam and'water are directed from the primary heating section I I into a top header I0 and thence into a primary separator I2.
A steam conduit I3 leads from the top of the primary separator I 2 to an augment nozzle or jet I 4 interposed in a natural circulation section generally indicated at I6. Water within the primary separator I2 is directed downwardly through a conduit I'I into a lower header I8 and thence upwardly through a group of tubes I9 comprisinga secondary heating section 2I. water leaving the secondary heating section 2I are directed into a top header 20 and thence into a secondary separator 22. Steam within the secondary separator 22 may be directed from line 23 either through an outlet line 25 to the point of use, or to a superheater 24 and thence to a point of use through a conduit 26.
Thus, thenatural circulation section I6 comprises headers 28 and 3|, a series of heating tubes 29, and includes an inlet line 21 and an outlet line 33. The plurality of tubes 29 lead from the lower header 28 to the upper header 3I to serve as an auxiliary heating section 32 which is designed and arranged to absorb approximately 25% of the total heat absorbed by the boiler heating sections II, 2I and I6. The conduit 33 leads from the upper header 3I to the secondary separator 22, and therefore comprises an inlet to the separator from said header 3I.
In the event the temperature of the Water leav- Steam and ing the primary separator I2 through the conduit I1 is too high, it may flash into steam. It is, therefore, desirable to provide an auxiliary feed water inlet 34 to direct a supply of relatively cooler water from an economizer 36 to the conduit I I.
A return conduit 3'! leads from the primary separator I2 downwardly to the lower header 8; and a return conduit 38 leads downwardly from the secondary separator 22. to the lower header I8. Check valves 39 and 4! are interposed in the return conduits 31 and 33, respectively, to permit a flow of water from the separators I2 and 22 to their respective lower headers 8 and I8 when the head between the separators and their respective headers becomes greater than the pressure drop through their respective heating sections I I and 2 I. It will thus be noted that the boiler unit could be operated with natural circulation under very light loads. A continuous blow-down 42 comprising a conduit 43 and a blow-oil valve 44 is provided for the secondary separator 22 to regulate a concentration of solids therein. The continuous blow-down 42 is also useful in placing the boiler in operation.
The water level within the primary separator I2 is regulated by means of a pair of electrodes I04 and I06, electrode I04 being connected in a circuit I01 leading to a switch terminal I08, thence through a relay I09 and secondary winding III of a transformer II 2 to ground. The electrode I06 is connected in a holding circuit II3 leading through a switch 4, relay I09 and secondary winding III to ground. The primary winding I I6 of the transformer is connected to a suitable source of current. The supply of steam passing from primary separator I2 to the secondary separator 22 through the conduit I3 is controlled by a valve I I1 which is operated by means of a solenoid II8 connected to a suitable source of current through a circuit H9. A switch I21 is interposed in the circuit II9 to make or break the circuit leading to the solenoid II8 when actuated by the relay I 09.
In the operation of this electric control means for regulating the water level within the primary separator I2, a surface contact between the water and the electrode I04 acts to energize the relay I03 to complete the holding circuit through the switch H4, and to open the switch I2I in the circuit leading to the solenoid I I8. De-energization of the solenoid II 3 acts to move the valve II I to a partially closed position to provide a restricted passage for the passage of steam through the conduit I3, and thus increase the pressure drop between the primary and secondary separators and thus causing an increased flow of water from the primary separator I2 downwardly through the conduit I'I.
When the water level within the primary separator I2 falls below the end of the electrode I06, the holding circuit I I3 to the relay I09 is broken, thereby opening the switch H4 and closing the switch I2 I. The closing of the switch I2I causes the solenoid II8 to open the valve II! to a full open position, if desired, to permit a substantially unrestricted flow of steam from the primary separator I2 through the conduit I3 to the secondary separator 22. While a rather simple form of control has been shown and described for operating the valve II'I between a full open position and partly open position, it is obvious that other forms of control means could be provided whereby the valve I I! could be adjusted for set- 5;; tingsiintermediateamlli openzpositiorrzandi-a re 1 stQ-ted partly one position; 3 1 th'e operation' I'of' the lforced scirculation boiler of the type -shown and udescribemto gene ert'e; or example, 20,000- pounds :of 'zsteam, per
