Definitions
- Heat generators provided with a conventional heat exchanger and used to raise the temperature of a liquid to a temperature suitable for use, do not, as a rule, enable to regeneration more than from 70 to 80 percent of the gross heat value (GHV) of the fuel used.
- GSV gross heat value
- submerged combustion devices wherein the combustion takes place within the bath to be heated, enable them to readily exceed the aforementioned values owing to the improvement of the exchange conditions.
- the essential advantage of submerged combustion results from the exchanges which occur at the level of the bath where the combustion takes place the combustion products issuing from the bath are saturated with water at bath surface temperature. Consequently, the amount of water which the combustion products carry along depends solely upon the temperature maintained at the bath surface.
- the combustion products are depleted of or en-' riched with water at the level of the bath, the temperature at which the exchange balance is null being the dew temperature of the combustion products.
- the dew temperature of the combustion products therefore appears to be a limiting factor for the advantages offered by submerged combustion.
- the dew temperature of the combustion products of the Lacq gas is about 60C.
- the normal submerged combustion of the Lacq gas is not usable and, in fact, is not used unless the bath heating temperature is maintained below 60C, this being the maximum temperature of the heat-carrying fluid used for deriving heat energy at the level of the bath. Therefore, the principle of submerged combustion has found applications which are limited to low-temperature heating such as the heating of swimming-pool water and floor heating of premises.
- the dew temperature of the combustion products increases considerably as the pressure of the combustion products rises.
- the dew temperature of the combustion products of Lacq gas 60C under normal pressure
- the dew temperature of the combustion products of Lacq gas 60C under normal pressure
- the efiiciency of submerged combustion is always about 88 percent (calculated on the GHV)
- the efficiency is respectively between 88 and 100 percent (calculated on the GHV).
- the heat generator of the invention operating on submerged combustion and turning to account the above-mentioned characteristics, is remarkable notably in that the heat supplied by the combustion gases to the said bath being drawn off, for use, by at least one heat exchanger which is advantageously at least partially immerged in the said bath called main bath, the fuel and the combustive substance as well as the combustion products are subjected to a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, for instance on the order of 4 bars.
- Heating by means of hot water thus becomes possible, with efliciency rates much higher than those obtained with a conventional generator the efficiency of which is about percent calculated on the GHV.
- the energy required for overpressure of the combustive substance and the fuel amounts, for instance under a 4 bar compression, to about 5 percent calculated on the GHV of the fuel.
- the amount of water required for the saturation of the combustion products i.e., the amount of non-condensed water carried along by the fumes issuing from the generator is then determined solely by the surface temperature of the bath.
- the fumes issuing from the main bath are conveyed into a heat condenser-regenerator subjected to a pressure approximating that of the main bath and the bath temperature of which is advantageously lower than the dew temperature of the fumes, the calories left in the said condenser being used for heating the cold heat-carrying fluid prior to its inflow into the said exchanger which is placed in the main bath.
- the combustion products issuing from the plant according to the invention are saturated with water under conditions of equilibrium pressure and temperature at the level of the condenser. Owing to this fact, the efficiency of the whole assembly is determined only by the pressure of the combustion products and by the equilibrium temperature in the condenser. For example, in the case of Lacq gas combustion, if the pressure is about 4 bars at the level of the condenser and if the equilibrium temperature is 40C (approximating the temperature of the cold heat-carrying fluid penetrating into the plant), the efficiency of the device is on the order of 97 percent calculated on the GHV.
- the ef'ficiency of the whole assembly does not depend upon the temperature of the bath in the main generator and the heat-carrying fluid may leave the device at a temperature higher than the dew temperature of the combustion products in the main generator, without reducing the efficiency of the whole assembly. Under such conditions, the main generator bath water will tend to become vaporized at the level of the main bath and will be collected in the condenser. According to another advantageous feature of the invention, a circulating pump will ensure the return of the said water into the main generator bath.
- the invention thus enables the production of a very hot heat-carrying fluid with excellent efficiency.
- another important advantage results from the fact that the fumes issuing from the plant are practically dry.
- the Lacq gas combustion products contain only 7 percent of the water generated by the combustion, i.e., about 1 1 grams of water per cubic meter of expanded fumes as compared to the 160 grams per cubic meter of fumes emitted by a conventional boiler.
- the hygrometry of the combustion products approximates that of the ambient air. Under such conditions, the phenomena of water condensation in chimneys and of formation of water vapor mist in proximity to chimneys are avoided.
- the harmful products of combustion such as S0,, C0
- the fumes issuing from the plant are neutral, i.e., they are comprised essentially of nitrogen.
- the generator as a whole is equivalent to a high-efiiciency, dry and possibly neutral" fume boiler which is advantageous in mediumtemperature heating and allows for substantial differences between the input temperature and the output temperature of the heat-carrying fluid.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatical view of a plant designed according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows diagrams illustrating the variation of the efficiency of Lacq gas submerged combustion under various absolute pressures and depending on the surface temperature of the bath in the last stage
- FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of a plant designed according to a modified embodiment of the invention.
- the combustible mixture conveyed to a burner 1 is immerged in a hot water bath 2 maintained under pressure in a container 3.
- the combustion products escape under the action of the pressure in the container 3 through a conduit 4 which conveys them into a condenser-regenerator 5 subjected substantially to the same pressure (except for pressure losses in the conduit 4).
- a valve 6 ensures the ejection, under the desired pressure, of the non-condensed products issuing from the condenser 5.
- the heat-carrying fluid enters in the cold state through a conduit 7 and is heated in a first heat exchanger 8 which may be at least partially immerged and which is placed in the condenser.
- the heat exchanger is advantageously so arranged, as diagrammatized in the drawing, that its coldest inlet spires are the highest in the container 5, so as to reduce to a minimum the surface temperature T, of the bath 18 of condensed water.
- T surface temperature
- the heat-carrying fluid is conveyed through a conduit 9 into a heat exchanger 10 immerged in the main bath 2 of hot water under pressure.
- the fluid issues at 11 in the hot state.
- the heat-carrying fluid may be, for instance, water entering at 7 in the cold state and issuing at 11 in the hot state in the form of water or vapor.
- the harmful products resulting from the combustion such as S0,, C0,, and which are dissolved in the main bath 2 may be regenerated continuously in a regenerating apparatus 12 operating according to a closed loop as shown by the dashed lines at 13.
- the drawing off of the harmful products in liquid solution form may also be effected wholly or partially in the bath 18.
- a circulating pump 14 enables conveyance of part of the condensation water formed in the condenser 5, back into the main bath 2 through a conduit 15.
- At 16 and 17 are diagrammatically. shown the devices enabling maintenance of the main bath 2 and the secondary bath 18 at constant level.
- the diagram is a block diagram, but the assembly will advantageously be compact for dimensional and heat-insulation considerations.
- burners and heat exchangers may simply be immerged in a pit.
- the plant is somewhat more complex than the previous one and use is made of the principle of an at least partial prior combustion in a non-submerged combustion chamber as described in the patent application Ser.

- the chamber 12' is constituted internally by a heat exchanger 16' traversed by a heat-carrying fluid.
- the heat exchanger 16' may be constitutedby an annular sheet of water surrounding the flame or by tubes arranged in parallel relationship to the generating lines of the chamber or arranged for instance in the form of coils.
- the upper wall 15 and the side wall 17 of the boiler body ensure the heat insulation of the chamber 12 with respect to the bath 13.
