Definitions
- This invention relates to boilers.
- the natural circulation which is established in a boiler is a function of the operational conditions of the burner and as these conditions vary constantly, the distribution of the heat flux in the boiler also changes. In certain conditions of operation it is possible that in one part of the boiler the natural circulation speed is increased, and in another part it is reduced or vice versa. In the region where the speed of the water becomes very low or even nil, excessive heating of the metal walls may result.
- pockets of steam may be formed in the regions where the water speed becomes very low or nil; as these pockets cannot be entrained by the water, they isolate the metal of the boiler, which therefore results, in this region, considerable over-heating of the metal. This over-heating may, in consequence, increase the stresses and fatigue of the metal.
- the present invention has for its object a fire-tube boiler which is improved in such a manner as to overcome these disadvantages.
- the boiler includes, in known manner, a flame tube disposed within a body which contains the water to be heated or to be vaporised and is traversed by combustion-gas tubes communicating with the flame tube, and is characterised by water tubes which are disposed transversely with respect to the flame tube, preferably in the neighbourhood of the rear end of the flame-tube, and which connect the lower part of the body to the upper part of the latter.
- These tubes receive from the flame tube an intense heat flux and, as the volume of water which they contain is low in relation to the flux received, the water is instantaneously set in motion by the thermo-syphon effect. Water circulation is thus established in the tubes which is varied as a function of the operation of the burner. The speed of circulation in these tubes may reach 1.5 to 2.5 metres per second.
- the water tubes thus constitute a thermal pump which produces a continual recycling of the water in the boiler, that is to say an internal motion of all the water.
- the discharge of the water into the tubes may be such that the Water contained in the boiler traverses them from four to eight times before leaving the boiler.
- the tubes are preferably of annular form.
- the tubes are, preferably, in the form of elbows in order to prevent the circulation of the water from disturbing the water level.
- FIG. 1 is a view in axial section of a first embodiment of the boiler
- FIG. 2 is a cross-section on the line IIH of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a similar view to that of FIG. 1 of a second embodiment of the boiler.
- FIG. 4 is a cross-section of the line IVIV of FIG. 3.
- the boiler in accordance with the invention includes a cylindrical body 1 within which there is arranged a flame tube 2, the latter being coaxial with the body 1, as shown, or alternatively mounted eccentrically with respect to it.
- a burner 3 for combustible liquid or gas, discharges into one end of the flame tube 2.
- the body 1 is closed by end plates 4 and is traversed by combustion-gas tubes 5 which are secured to the plates 4 and communicate with flame tube 2.
- the tubes 5 form two concentric bundles and a transverse wall 6 which is disposed at the end of the tube 2 opposite to the burner 3, redirects combustion gases from the flame tube to the inner bundle of tubes.
- a second transverse wall 7 disposed around the upstream end of the flame tube redirects the gases to the outer bundle of tubes which have just passed through the inner bundle, the gases finally being then exhausted to a chimney through a' duct 8 and/or a duct 8a.
- a feed water distributor arranged longitudinally which is in communication with a feed tube for cold water 10, and serves to distribute this water to the upstream part of the boiler as well as to its downstream part.
- upper portion of the body or chamber 1 has a longitudinally-extending collector 11 which communicates with a discharge pipe 12.
- Tubes are disposed transversely to and across the flame.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 which show a hot water boiler, and these tubes 9 are in the form of circulating rings 13 which are secured in the wall of the flame tube, in the region of the downstream end of the latter, through the intermediary of lower connectors 14 and upper connectors 15.
- the water contained in the body 1 can thusenter the rings through the connectors 14 and leave through the connectors 15.
- the sleeves 14 and 15 may be disposed in the vertical, median plane or even, as shown, may be slightly inclined with respect to this vertical plane, some of them in one direction and the others in the opposite direction, in order to increase the spacing between two adjacent connectors 14 and 15.
- the distribution and the collection of the water through the longitudinal conduits 9 and 11 ensures an improved distribution of the water in the boiler without disturbing the circulation eflect created by the thermal-siphon which is caused by the rings 13.
- the boiler is intended for the generation of steam, and the plane of separation of the water and the steam is indicated at 17.
- the tubes are here constituted by elbows 18 which are placed in the flame tube 2 face to face, two by two, symmetrically with respect to the vertical median plane. These elbows direct the water towards the periphery of the boiler, which substantially prevents disturbance of the water surface.
- At least one water tube extending transversely across said flame tube and providing communications between said lower and upper portions, said water tube lying beyond one of the ends of said feed water distributor and said collector.
- said flame tube comprises:
- said water tube being disposed in the downstream portion.
- a boiler accordingto claim 1 wherein the water tube is in the form of a ring, the boiler serving to supply hot water.
- water feed means comprising an inlet pipe
- said feed water distributor communicating with said inlet pipe.
- said heated water collector means comprising:
