ATTORNKY J. J. GRIFFIN June 2, 1964 FIRED HEATER FOR HIGH CONTROL SENSITIVITY SERVICE 2 Sheets-$heet 2 Filed March 21, 1962 awn 70R JOHN J. GE/FF/N BY A 7' TOR/V5 Y United States Patent 3,135,247 FIRED HEATER FGR HIGH CONTROL SENSITIVITY SERVICE John J. Grifiin, Huntington, N.Y., assignor to Foster Wheeler Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed Mar. 21, 1962, Ser. No. 181,363 2 Claims. (Cl. 122-356) This invention relates to a fired heater of high control sensitivity and suitable for example in heating cryogenic 1 air is introduced via the entrance chamber in counterflow relationship with the combustion gases in the inner shell so that the inner shell is cooled as the combustion supporting gas is preheated.
Gas cooling accommodates the use of a thin inner shell which does not storeheat and, accordingly, permit rapid response to heat input to flame control.
7, Another advantage of this design is improved lateral distribution of heat occasioned by the injection of tertiary combustion supporting gas.
These and other advantages will appear more fully from the accompanying drawings of a gas cooled fired heater embodying this invention and wherein:
FIGURE I is an elevational view in cross section taken along line II of FIGURE II.
FIGURE 11 is a side elevational view partly in cross section taken along line II-II of FIGURE I.
Elongated thin inner shell 1 is supported in spaced relationship relative outer shell 2. The first extent of inner shell 1 is'shown as bottom 3. The second extent is shown as top 4. Inner shell 1 also has sides 6 and ends 7 defining combustion chamber 8 with upper zone 9 and lower zone 11. Sides 6 converge toward bottom 3 so that lower zone 11 opens upward. In most cases it would be desirable to fabricate inner shell 1 from a heat resistant metal such as a nickel-chromium alloy steel or a nickel alloy cast iron.
Elongated outer shell 2 has sides 12, ends 13 and a second or upper extremity 14. Outer shell 2 encloses entrance chamber 16 which embraces inner shell 1.
Heaters of this type are preferably fired by a gaseous fuel. Burner means, generally designated 17, include burner nozzles 18 which penetrate inner shell 1 at the first extent via bottom opening 19 thereof. Flue means shown as stack 20 are located in the vicinity of top 4 so that flame is coursed upward through combustion chamber 8. Burner nozzles 18 communicate via conduits 21 with a source of fuel (not shown). Means shown as burner block 22 with inner opening 23 are mounted about each burner nozzle 18 and communicate with entrance chamber 16 to introduce combustion supporting primary gas to mix with the fuel as it enters the combustion chamber.
combustion'chamber 8. -It is usually desirable to introduce about ten percent of the combustion supporting gas through tertiary ports 27. In addition to supporting combustion, the tertiary combustion supporting gas improves lateral distribution of heat across combustion chamber 8. In this regard, no additional flame deflection means are usually required.
- Inflowing combustion supporting gas serves as the cooling means for the heater. The combustion supporting gas is circulated through entrance chamber 16 in counterflow relationship relative the flame in the combustion chamber. As shown in FIGURE I, the combustion supporting gas, here air, enters via filter 29 by means of blowers at 31. Of course, in many environments and applications, filters and blowers would not be necessary. The air enters by way of wind box 30 and entrance ports '32 into entrance chamber 16 to cool inner shell 1 and in so doing to be preheated. Preheating of the air improves combustion and minimizes radiation losses.
Isining 33 acts as a sound absorber for combustion noises.
It will be understood by those skilled in the fired heater engineering that wide changes may be made in the details of the preferred design here presented without departing from the scope of the invention defined in the claims. It should be particularly obviousthat many gases other than air contain appreciable quantities of oxygen and are accordingly capable of supporting combustion. When these gases .occur at temperatures sufficiently low for them to cool inner chamber 1, they are equivalent to air for the practice of this invention.
