/ ATTORNEK nited Slitgs TUBULAR COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINING FOR FORCED FLOW STEAM GENERATQRS Arthur Lieberherr, Winterthur, Switzerland, assignor to Sulzer Freres, Socit Anonyme, Winterthur, Switzerland, a corporation of Switzerland The present invention relates to a tubular combustion chamber lining for forced flow steam generators, particularly for steam generators operated at the critical or at super-critical pressure.
The lining according to the invention consists of adjacent parallel tubes whose ends are connected with tubular headersor collectors. Each collector receives the outlet ends of a group of tubes forming the combustion chamber wall and the inlet ends of a group of tubes through which the water or steam subsequently flows to another collector. The axially aligned headers or collectors form two parallel rows, the collectors of one row being axially staggered with respect to the headers of the other row, so that the groups of tubes through which the water or steam flows in series follow a zig-zag pattern. The individual tubes connecting two headers may be bent like hairpins. The hairpin'bends may be replaced by short individual and axially aligned headers.
Tubular evaporating or superheating heating surfaces forming, for example, the inner lining of the walls of the combustion chamber of a steam boiler, which heating surfaces are operated at subcritical pressures must be so constructed that there is no separation of the steam from the water and consequently no ununiform passage of operating medium through the individual parallel tube lines. In tube systems in which water is converted to steam at a pressure near or higher than the critical pressure undesirable separation of water from steam can be avoided if the-lines of heating tubes extend continuously through the steam generator without interruption by transverse connections or collectors. Such long tube lines must be bent to follow a meander-like pattern and there-are spaces between the individual return bends which are not covered by heating tubes and through which the flame or gas radiation may adversely affect and destroy the insulation or the brickwork in the back of the tubes. A further disadvantage is the formation of ash and slag deposits in the spaces between the bends. Brickwork for the combustion chamber walls cannot be dispensed with if the tube lines are constructed as explained above.
If the combustion chamber walls are lined by individual tube groups arranged in series, and if the ends of the tubes of each group are connected with inlet and outlet headers, unheated downcomer tubes must be provided which entail additional expense and considerably increase the weight of the plant without being useful as heating surfaces. The downcomer tubes which are useless for steam generation but which are capable of storing a relatively great volume of high pressure and high temperature operating medium constitute a considerable source of danger in case of tube explosions.
The aforesaid disadvantages can be avoided in a simple manner by constructing the combustion chamber walls or the interior lining thereof according to the invention.
The novel features which are considered characteristic of the invention are set forth with particularity in the atent ice appended claims. The invention itself however and additional objects and advantages thereof will best be understood from the following description of embodiments thereof when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a combustion chamber wall formed of groups of parallel tubes, only a few tubes being shown;
Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic illustration of a modified combustion chamber wall formed of tubes bent like hairpins, the parallel rows of collectors which are interconnected by the tubes being in close vicinity;
Fig. 3 is diagrammatic illustration of 'a modification of the combustion chamber wall construction shown in Fig. 2, in which the hairpin bends are replaced by short axially aligned headers;
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic cross section through a combustion chamber wall according to Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic cross section through a combustion chamber wall according to Fig. 2;
Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic cross section through a combustion chamber wall according to Fig. 3.
The same numerals designate the same parts in all figures.
Referring more particularly to Fig. 1 of the drawing, numerals 1 and 2 designate rows of axially aligned headers or collectors 3, 3' and 4, 4', 4", respectively. Groups of parallel tubes 5, 5', and 5" are-connected with their ends to the'collec tors 3, 4; 4, 3'; 3', 4", respectively, collector 4 receiving the outlet ends of the pipe group 5 and the inlet ends of the following pipe group 5. The inlets and outlets of the tubes connected to the collectors ofthe same row are all at substantially the same elevation. The collectors forming the row 1 are placed in axially staggered relation to the collectors forming the row 2.
If the individual tubes are bent approximately in the middle of their length through 180 rectangularly to the plane of the drawing, arrangements are formed as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. In the modifications shown in these figures, the collectors of the individual rows 1 and 2 are formed by continuous tubes which are subdivided by transverse walls 6 to produce individual collector sections in the row 1 and by transverse walls 7 to produce individual collector sections in the row 2. The collector rows 1 and 2 are in close proximity of each other.
In the embodiment according to Fig. 2 the heating tubes 8, 8', 8 are bent like hairpins, one end of each tube being connected with a collector section of row 1 and the other end of each-tube being connected with a collector section of row 2, the sequence of the tubes and headers being the same as in Fig. l.
1n the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 the hairpin bends are replaced by relatively short collectors 10, 10', 10", there being an individual collector for each pipe group 9, 9, 9", respectively. Instead of individual headers or collectors 10, 10', 10", a continuous pipe, subdivided by transverse interior walls, may be provided in the same manner as the collectors forming the rows 1 and 2 in Fig. 2 are constructed. The tube ends connected with the intermediate collectors 10 preferably extend radially from the collectors and are connected with the collectors along diametrically opposed lines.
The collectors are preferably so placed that they are not directly exposed to the heat produced in the combustion chamber. They are either embedded in the brickwork (top of Fig. 4) or arranged outside of the brickwork or heat insulation (bottom of Fig. 4).
The hairpin bends of .the modification shown in Fig. 2 are also embedded in the brickwork or insulation (Fig. 5), or arranged outside thereof. The same is done with the 7 top.
The combustion chamber wall construction according I to the invention ensures reliable cooling of the walls and prevents blowing up and bursting of the tubes. Since in the arrangements according to Figs. 2 and 3 the tubes connected with different collectors are spaced, welding of the tube ends to the collectors is facilitated. It is also possible to space the tube ends in the arrangement according to Fig.1 to facilitate welding. A further advantage of the constructionis that individual tube units can easily be interchanged and relatively few replacement parts need be kept in stock. Brickwork can be reduced and even omitted with a combustion chamber wall according to the invention, since the walls are formed completely by the adjacent tubes. Cost is further, reduced because no downcomer tubes are needed.
The invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. The collectors need not be arranged in staggered relation. The number of tubes in the individual groups depends on the capacity of the steam generator, on the tube diameters, and on the desired flow velocity of the water and/ or steam. The combustion chamber wall construction according to the invention is of advantage also in steam generators which are operated at a pressure I.
lower than, but close to the critical pressure of water.
