Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mobile incinerator with a rotary furnace, particularly for household refuse, of the type comprising, fixed to the chassis of a motor vehicle, a rotary furnace of generally elongated shape, means for rotatably driving the furance, means of introducing matter to be incinerated through an opening leading to one end of the furnace, an ash receptacle arranged below the furnace and capable of receiving the ash passing from the other end of the furnace, a burner arranged inside said furnace, means of feeding the burner with combustible gas, means of introducing a combustible gas into the furnace, means of postcombustion, and means of cooling, purifying and evacuating burnt gases.
  • the invention relates particularly to an incinerator essentially for use in the collection of door-to-door refuse, the burning being continuous.
  • Mobile incinerators are known in which the rotary furnace comprises an internal lining made of refractory material. These furnaces have the disadvantage of being very fragile and frequent repairing of the lining is necessitated. In effect the latter is subject to significant shocks and vibrations which, together with the thermal shocks, cause rapid deterioration of the lining.
  • furnaces also have the particular feature of being excessively heavy.
  • a mobile incinerator having a rotary furnace according to the invention is characterized in that the rotary furnace is in the form of a double-walled drum made of thin sheet metal and open at both ends, the interior wall forming a grill and being provided for this purpose with flow orifices, whereas the exterior wall is sealed and forms a cover or casing, and in that the said means of introducing a combustible gas into the furnace comprises mainly means of introducing fresh air into the space between the grill and the casing.
  • a mobile incinerator according to the invention therefore has the advantage of comprising a rotary furnace, the life of which is increased owing to very effective cooling of its walls, which reduces maintenance costs as well as the frequency with which the incinerator is inoperative.
  • a mobile incinerator according to the invention can also be characterized in that the means of introducing a combustible gas into the furnace further comprises a ventilator for evacuating combustion gases leading to one of the end openings of the furnace, the other opening of which is exposed to the free air.
  • This arrangement which improves post-combustion of the fumes contributes to the cooling and purifying of the gases prior to their evacuation into the atmosphere.
  • the quantity of air which is therefore conveyed in an axial direction is such that it preferably represents a substantial excess of air relative to the quantity necessary for stoechiometric combustion which is calculated for a statistically average composition of refuse.
  • the said double-walled drum made of thin sheet metal has the form of a truncated cone, the large base of which is connected to the opening for introducing matter to be incinerated and the small base of which constitutes an opening for evacuating ash, leading over the ash recepticle, the axis of said truncated cone which forms the axis of rotation of the furnace being inclined downwards in the direction passing from the opening for introducing matter to the opening for evacuating ash.
  • the refuse when the drum rotates, the refuse can be gradually moved by the influence of gravity towards the opening for evacuating ash, which does not necessitate a complicated mechanism for the forward movement of the refuse.
  • the truncated shape selected for the drum has the advantage of being particularly functional and occupies only the minimum of space. In effect, towards the entrance where the refuse, which is only beginning to burn, occupies maximum space, the diameter of the drum is considerable whereas it is considerably reduced at the opposite end where the refuse, when totally burned and reduced to ash, only occupies a minimum space.
  • the shape and inclined position of the drum make it possible to arrange a substantial space above the lower portion of the furnace, a space which can be used for the circulation of postcombustion gases.
  • the grill consists of movable elements which are assembled with the aid of temporary and losely' clamped fixing means.
  • the grill can be considered a consumable element of the incinerator, as is the combustible necessary for the burner.
  • the different elements which form the grill can expand freely without producing deformation of the furnace.
  • a mobile incinerator is characterized in that the said means for introducing fresh air into the space between the girll and the lining of the furnace comprises a fixed annular cover or casing which is connected in a practically sealable manner to said space at one of the ends of the furnace, said space being closed at the other end and a blower being connected to said cover and provided with an inlet open to the free air.
  • air deflectors directed towards the interior of the furnace are fixed on the said grill and positioned so as to divert the air from said blow orifices in a given direction.
  • Said given direction is obviously that of the admission of air through a furnace, i.e. that of the admission of the quantity of air mentioned above, which is introduced through one of the end openings of the drum.
  • deflectors also participate in the translational movement of the matter to be incinerated from the opening for the introduction of the latter into the furnace as far as the opening for evacuating ash, by assisting this matter to follow the rotational movement of the furnace.
  • the said orifices are formed by punching the sheet metal which constitutes said grill inwards into the furnace, the axes of said orifices lying in the direc-' 7 tion of displacement of the matter to the interior of the vided with internal vanes forming racks for the reception of matter, a fixed neck located inside the wheel and provided with an upper inlet opening arranged below the upper portion of the wheel and a lower outlet leading into a passage which in turn leads to the opening for the introduction of matter into the furnace, and in that an alternately movable slide is slidably mounted in said passage and comprises a sealing wall for the outlet of the neck and an adjacent front wall for sealing said opening from the introduction of matter.
  • This means for introduction of matter into the furnace has the important advantage of ensuring regular charging of the furnace, while permitting a certain amount of storage of material to be incinerated, in order to absorb irregularties in the collected refuse, particularly in the case where this matter is household refuse.
  • the alternating movement of the slide ensures great loading regularity and, in the event of overloading, the refuse remains in the racks of the paddle wheel, owing to the fact that it cannot fall if the said neck is full.
  • the said burner is a burner with two heads, one of which is located approximately in the centre of the furnace, and the other close to the opening for evacuation of ash.
  • the burner head located approximately in the centre of the furnace drives, preheats and ignites the refuse while initiating post-combustion of the fumes which, when coming from the combustion zone of the refuse, meet this burner head on the outward journey out of the furnace.
  • the said means of post-combustion are preferably provided with an auxiliary burner, the feed control of which is connected to means for analysing the evacuated gases.
  • the feed of the auxiliary burner is controlled and the burner ignited, which ensures a more complete combustion of the fumes.
  • a mobile incinerator in which the means of feeding the burner with combustible gas comprises a tank of liquified gas, an evaporator, and means of passing the evaporated gas to the burner, can also be characterized in that the evaporator comprises a bundle of tubes arranged at the bottom of the tank, one end of said bundle leading into a first collector connected to suction means, and the other end into a second collector which is connected to a two-way valve or shutter which is capable of bringing the collector into contact with a tubular exchanger subjected to the heat of the post-combustion gases. Therefore the heat emitted by the post-combustion of the fumes is partially recovered to ensure evaporation of the combustible liquid in the tank. This evaporation does not therefore necessitate additional expenditure of energy.
  • the said two-way shutter preferably comprises a control member capable of alternately controlling the connection between said second collector and the said tubular exchanger subjected to the heat of postcombustion gases, or between said second collector and an inlet for fresh air, said control member being subjected to the action of pressostat which receives the pressure of the evaporated combustible inside the tank.
  • this arrangement permits the pressure of the combustible gas in the tank to be regulated.
  • the pressostat sends to the control member of the two-way shutter a signal so that the shutter permits the second collector to be fed with fresh air, which reduces evaporation and prevents the pressure from continuously rising. Therefore, great reliability is obtained in the use of the tank, and the risk of explosions is particularly eliminated.
  • the pressostat sends via said control member such a signal that the shutter or valve establishes a connection between said second collector and the tubular exchanger subjected to the heat of post-combustion gases, which results in evaporation being accelerated.
  • the means of passing the evaporated gas to the burner comprises a low pressure circuit connecting the tank to the burner, and a high pressure circuit shunted onto the low pressure circuit, said high pressure circuit comprising an electrically operated shutter the control member of which is connected to the output of a thermostat which receives the temperature of the furnace as an input signal.
  • the thermostat sends via the control member of the electrically operated shutter such a signal that the control member establishes a connection between the high pressure circuit and the burner, which obviously has the effect of increasing the temperature in the furnace.
  • the thermostat sends via the control member of the electrically operated shutter such a signal that the shutter prevents connection between the high pressure circuit and the burner.
  • the latter is therefore only fed by the low pressure circuit, which obviously results in a reduction in the temperature in the furnace.
  • the ideal temperature for the operation of the furnace can therefore be determined in a particularly simple manner.
  • This control can be a function of the nature of the material to be burnt or of their state of dryness, or of other parameters.

  • the rotary furnace 1 is produced in the form of a double-walled truncated drum, which is made of thin sheet metal and open at both ends at 33 and 34, and of which the axis 35, which is also its axis of rotation, is substantially inclined downwards in a line extending from the opening 33 for evacuating fumes to the opening 34 for evacuating ash.
  • the interior wall 36 of the drum forms a grill and is provided, for this purpose, with blow orifices 37.
  • these orifices are madev by punching the thin sheet metal forming the grill 36 inwards into the furnace, said punching operation being carried out in such a manner that the axis of these orifices 37 is directed towards the opening 34 of the drum.

  • the grill 36 is formed by movable, substantially rectangular, platelike elements 42 made of thin sheet metal and assembled with the aid of temporary and loosely clamped fixing means such as those shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • These fastening means comprise angle irons 43,44 mounted on axles 45, of which the ends are provided with stop pins 46 and which extend through the sections 40 and 41. Between the legs of these angle irons there is therefore arranged a gap 47 in which the edges of the elements 42 are accommodated.
  • this arrangement permits free expansion of the elements of the grill which are subjected to high temperatures, and this prevents the grill from being subjected to stresses capable of deforming it.
  • the used elements of the grill can therefore be easily replaced either partially or wholly in order to be replaced by new elements. Consequently this operation only necessitates a short-term immobilisation of the incinerator.

  • the deflectors 38 are formed by angle irons which open towards the inlet 33, this refuse is subjected, during combustion to considerable comminution which favors oxygenation.
  • the air passing through the furnace can therefore represent a considerable excess of air relative to the quantity necessary for stoichiometric combustion, and supplies a substantial quantity of oxygen as much for the combustion of refuse as for the activation of the post-combustion of fumes by also benefiting the action of this axially admitted air with the air blown radially through the grill, this generating interaction of various turbulant movements which produce thorough mixture of the fumes with the air through serious mixing of the fumes and therefore conditions them favourably for perfect postcombustion.
  • the fumes are sucked into the post-combustion chamber located above the furnace, and in which particularly the carbon monoxide can be completely burned and transformed into carbolic gas, then the gases are cooled in the cooling chamber 16, scrubbed during their passage in front of the spray head 21, and finally evacuated into the outer atmosphere in the direction of the arrow 28.

  • the temperature inside the furnace can be kept practically constant.
  • the burner 52 being for example fed by the high pressure circuit 88, if the temperature measured by the probe 93 exceeds the determining temperature of the thermostat 82, the latter sends to the coil 91 such an electric signal that the shutter 90 closes.
  • the burner 52 is therefore only fed by the low pressure circuit 86 and the temperature of the furnace decreases.
  • the electrically operated shutter 90 opens and the burner is again fed under high pressure, which has the effect of increasing the temperature again.
  • the temperature of the furnace can be automatically operated in this manner and, by acting on the control of the thermostat, it is possible to note the condition and nature of the refuse, and particularly its rate of humidity. Therefore, total incineration of the refuse can be obtained irrespective of the type of refuse, in optimum operating conditions, by producing only minimum wear in the furnace and by consuming only the minimum of combustible.
  • the electrically operated shutter 96 receives such a signal, which cause the shutter to open and the burner 95 to be brought into contact with the propane pipe 85. Therefore post-combustion of the fumes is accelerated, which makes it possible to eliminate the carbon monoxide.
