FIG. 1 shows a generally elevational view, in section, of a stack type metallic recuperator incorporating the seal of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows the seal arrangement of FIG. 1 in greater detail.
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the seal for a stack recuperator.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring to the drawing in FIG. 1, a stack type metallic recuperator is shown generally at 10 including a housing 12 having a cylindrical steel shell 11 and a supporting base 13. The housing 12 is lined with a refractory 15, such as insulating firebrick which will resist wind abrasion. A generally cylindrical heat resisting metallic or alloy sleeve 17 depends from the upper end of the housing 12 by a conical section 19 which is secured in an airtight manner to the shell 11, such as by welding to a flange region 21. The alloy sleeve 17 is spaced apart from the refractory lining 15 by suitable spacer brackets 23 fastened to the steel shell 11, thereby forming an annular air passage 25. Located at the upper end of the shell 11 is an opening 26 which receives a pipe 27 through which cold air to be preheated is introduced into a plenum 29 which is defined by the conical section 19, the shell 15, and the top surface of the refractory 15. Located at the lower portion of the refractory lining 15 is an annular air plenum 31 having an opening 32 that receives an air pipe 33. The air pipe 33 generally leads to a furnace burner or burners (not shown). Located below the air plenum 31 is a hot gas pipe 35. A refractory lined inner wall member 37 is located in the lower end of the housing 12. The wall member 37 has an annular wall 34, which extends into the sleeve 17, a base 36, and an opening 38 which provides communication between the pipe 35 and the central portion of the recuperator 10. The wall member 37 is securedat its upper region by a heat resisting alloy cylinder 39 having fastened thereto a base ring 41 which contacts the outer shell 11, the combination thereof forming an annular well or vessel 43. The annular well 43 is adapted to contain a liquid, such as water, and receives the lower portion of the alloy sleeve 17 to define a section on each side of the sleeve portion received therein. The well 43 has an opening 44 which is in communication with a reservoir tank 45 by means of a pipe 47 extending therebetween.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the reservoir tank 45 has a weir 49 located therein to control the level of liquid. A feed line 51 is located above the reservoir tank 45 supplying liquid thereto, and a drain 53 is located adjacent the weir 49 to drain the surplus liquid. The water level in reservoir tank 45 is indicated at 55 and the water level in well 43 is indicated by 57 on the inner side of the sleeve 17 and by 59 and 60 on the opposite side of the sleeve 17.
In FIG. 3, an alternate arrangement is shown for maintaining a substantially constant level of water in the well 43 on the inner side of liner 17. Water is supplied by a pipe 63 having a valve 64. A standpipe 57 positioned on the inside of liner 17 serves as a weir to remove fluid overflow in the well through pipe 65 which leads to a drain 67.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Cold air to be preheated is introduced through pipe 27 into the plenum 29 from which the air flows down wardly through annulus 25 to a preheated air plenum 31 and out preheated air pipe 33, as shown generally by the flow arrows. The air pipe 33 supplies preheated air to furnace burners which generate the hot gases used to heat work or supply heat for a process, the spent gases of which are used by the recuperator 10 to preheat air. The hot spent gases are introduced into the base region through the pipe 35 and flow into the refractory lined inner wall member 37, and thence flow upwardly inside the alloy sleeve 17 and exit at the top of the recuperator 10. As the sleeve 17 is made'of a metal or alloy, an exchange of thermal energy will take place between the air flowing through plenum 25 and the spent gases flowing within the sleeve 17.
the flow of hot spent gasesis low or high, since the sleeve 17 is open to the atmosphere at the top end. The static pressure of the preheated air external of the sleeve 17 will normally-be a positive pressure due to the back pressure imposed on the combustion air system by the burners, and this pressure will vary as the flow of air may vary. When the preheated air back pressure is 0, the water level would be in the position as indicated at 57 and 59 and both will be substantially the same as water level 55 in tank 45. As the preheated air back pressure increases above 0, water level 59 depresses as indicated at 60, but'water level 57 and 55 remains substantially the same due to equalizing pipe 47. In this manner, compensation is made for the differential in pressure between the inside of liner 17 and within the air plenum 25. It is evident that the liquid 43 should not be overheated; otherwise it would boil, thereby affecting its utility as wll asadding vapor to the preheated air conveyed by pipe 33. The inner wall 37, which extends appreciably above the water level 57 in the well 43, serves as a thermal barrier wall to prevent the liner 17 from direct exposure to radiation and hot gases in the region immediately above the liquid seal. The elevation of vimmersion of the lower end of liner 17 into the liquid remains substantially constant. These features, which serve to eliminate sharp thermal gradients and severe quenching effects on the liner 17, together with the complete freedom of vertical movement of the liner, are believed to be a significant improvement in the art of sealing recuperators of the general type described.
