Definitions

  • ABSTRACT An incinerator system for loading waste material auto matically into a controlled air incinerator and for removing ash from the incinerator, all while the incinerator is in operation.
  • a controlled air incinerator which is sometimes referred to as a starved air incinerator, requires accurate control of burning conditions so as to provide at all times a discharge of clean flue gases free from pollutants.
  • waste material is automatically loaded into the combustion chamber without changing the burning conditions for which the incinerator is programmed by loader or charging equipment which, at all times of its operation, is designed to effectively prevent the combustion chamber from being open to atmospheric air which would change the burning conditions in the combustion chamber.
  • the present invention relates to an improved incinerator system to load with waste material and/or discharge ash froma controlled air incinerator during operation of the incinerator without affecting the burning conditions within the incinerator, which conditions produce pollutant-free clean flue gases.
  • the waste material loader means for the controlled air incinerator is designed so that during its entire operation, waste material can be fed continuously or intermittently into the combustion chamber without subjecting the combustion chamber to the free passage of atmospheric air at any time.
  • the invention includes an ash removal means which can continuously or intermittently remove ash and unburnable residue of waste material while the incinerator is in operation without the combustion chamber being open to the free passage of atmospheric air through the ash removal means. 1
  • the technology for incinerators has resulted in the development of the controlled air or starved air incinerator which can burn many types of waste material, including solids as well as some liquids, the incinerator being designed to accurately control the burning process so that pollutants are eliminated from flue gases being discharged.
  • the controlled air incinerator is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,403,645 issued Oct. 1, 1968 to George H. Flowers, Jr. and U.S. Pat. No. 3,489,109 issued Jan. 13, 1970 to George H. Flowers, Jr., both patents being assigned to the common Assignee of this Application. These patents disclose incinerators which utilize a two-stage combustion process for producing clean flue gases.
  • burning of the bulk of the waste material is accomplished by a controlled burning condition in a first combustion chamber.
  • the hot gases discharged from this chamber before they have had a chance to cool, enter a second combustion chamber where a controlled amount of additional air is supplied to further support burning of any combustionable products in the exhaust gases so as to produce a clean flue gas which is substantially pollution free and which will pass government, state, and municipal regulations on this subject.
  • the subject matter of these patents is incorporated herein by reference.
  • Stokers for furnaces and incinerators have been known for many years.
  • the usual stoker design provided a rotating screw in an enclosed duct or chute for feeding material of uniform size and general shape to the combustion chamber of an apparatus. Oftentimes,
  • the arrangement did not necessarily provide for complete isolation of the combustion chamber from the free passage of atmospheric air during all conditions of operation of the loader apparatus.-
  • the most serious drawback to the arrangement disclosed in the patent was the provision of a single pusher member in a confined duct or chute operating on the waste material to compact and transfer the same. Many times, the pusher member, in performing its operation of compacting and/or transferring waste material,
  • the present invention provides an improved incinerator system, particularly for a controlled air incinerator, the system including means for automatically loading waste material into the combustion chamber of an operating incinerator without changing the burning conditions in the combustion chamber by subjecting the combustion chamber to the free passage of atmospheric air through the loader means. Additionally, the invention envisions providing ash removal means for automatically removing ash and any non-combustible products of waste material while the incinerator is operating, the ash removal means likewise being designed to prevent free passage of atmospheric air into the combustion chamber of the incinerator without changing the burning conditions therein.
  • the incinerator system is made safer for operation as it eliminates dangers of loading waste material into an operating incinerator and dangers resulting from attempts to remove hot ashes from an operating incinerator. Additionally, the incinerator system of the present invention permits substantially continuous operation of a controlled air incinerator without affecting the incinerators normal discharge of pollution free flue gases.
  • the incinerator system of the present invention includes the controlled air incinerator having a waste material loader means connected thereto, the loader means comprising a duct or chute extending outwardly from the lower portion of the combustion chamber through the casing, a guillotine type'fire door arranged to reciprocate across and out of the duct or chute, a pair of individual pusher members mounted in the chute forward of the fire door, and
  • a hopper operatively connected to the duct or chute for supplying waste material to an area in the chute forward of the pusher members.
  • the hopper is provided with a loader door which functions in the closed position as a support for waste material and aseal to the interior of the duct or chute prior to operation of the loader mechanism and it further functions as part of a wall of the hopper when open for the transfer of waste material into the loader duct or chute.
  • the lowermost pusher member in the chute is arranged to reciprocate back and forth in the chute to progressively push waste material into the combustion chamber, the lower pusher memberblocking entry of waste material into the chute rearwardly of the same on its forward stroke. Since the lower pusher member has a space above the same in the chute when it is operating to advance waste material into the combustion chamber, this eliminates any jamming within the chute as the lower pusher member can crush or shear any material lodged in the space at the top of the chute.
  • the upper pusher member is operated simultaneously with the lower pusher member only when the hopper is empty of waste material and the forward simultaneous strokes of both pusher members are long enough for both pusher members to extend at least to the interior wall of the casing for the combustion chamber so that the chute may be entirely clear of any waste material that may have previously stuck in the upper portion of the chute during the actual loading by the lower pusher member individually of the upper pusher member.
  • Control means are provided to coordinate'the operation of the door in the hopper, fire door, the loading operation of the lower pushermember, and the clearing operation by both pusher members so that at no time free passage of atmospheric air can enter the combustion chamber through the automatic means. A more detailed description of this operation will appear later in the specification.
  • the ash removal includes a downwardly depending annular ash pit member connected to an opening in the lower portion of the combustion chamber casing at a point remote from the point of charging of the combustion chamber.
  • the ash pit member has connected to its lower end an automatically operable ash removal means including an annular elongated duct or chute member with a pusher member therein.
  • the discharge member or elongated dust has an open end which is normally closed by a gravity operated weighted door and the pusher member is moved toward the door to push ash against the door to open the same and discharge the ashes into a suitable takeoff conveyor or ash cart.
  • the pusher member in its forward stroke for pushing ashes out of the open end of the duct, is so designed as to block off the entrance of the ash pit member to the duct to prevent free passage of atmospheric air into the combustion chamber and prevent ash from falling behind the pusher member. Also, by having a downwardly depending annular ash pit member, there are always ashes in the same which help to prevent flow of atmospheric air up into the combustion chamber, but which also functions as an insulating means to give the ashes time to cool down prior to their being discharged by the pusher member.
  • the annular ash pit member is preferably refractory lined so as to make the exterior surface of the same relatively cool. Control means are provided for actuating the pusher member in the ash discharge duct and these control means may be coordinated with the control means for the loader means.

  • a controlled air incinerator for the present invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the incinerator 10 includes an annular casing 12 provided with a suitable refractory lining, the annular casing 12 having a substantially horizontal axis.
  • One end 14 of the annular casing 12 is made integral therewith and includes a rectangular annular extension 16 to which automatic loading means generally designated at 18 is connected.
  • the other end 20 is an access door so as to provide access to the interior of the casing 12 for periodic maintenance and inspection.
  • Casing 12 which may be of the type shown in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,489,109 and which defines a main combustion zone or chamber 21, is provided with one or more of the usual pressure burners 22 having nozzles within the chamber for starting the burning process of the waste material.
  • the burners 22 are normally turned off once the combustion has started and controlled temperatures are reached.
  • air is supplied in controlled amounts to the main combustion chamber 21, for example, as shown in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,489,109, to assist in supporting combustion during starting and once the waste material is burning.

  • hot exhaust gases from the main combustion chamber 21 pass through the passageway 28 into the second combustion chamber 26 where a secondary stage of burning is accomplished.
  • the exhaust gases leaving the main combustion chamber 21 carry with them burnable pollution particles or products which must be removed so that the resulting flue gases are substantially pollution free.
  • a pressure burner 30, having a nozzle 32 in the chamber 26, is provided and as shown in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. Nos.
  • an air blower discharges air into the secondary combustion chamber 26 to assist in supporting the combustion process.
  • the pressure burner 30 may be cut off when the air to the combustion chamber 26, plus the heat of the exhaust gases, is sufficient to support complete burning of waste products so as to produce substantially pollution free flue gases.
  • the secondary combustion chamber 26 is provided with a discharge opening 34 to which is attached a main stack assembly generally designated at 36.
  • the stack assembly may be of the type which discharges the clean flue gases directed to atmosphere, or it may be of the type as shown in the co-pending U.S. Application Ser.

  • the loading means 18 includes an elongated annular loader chute or duct 38 operatively connected to and in axial alignment with the annular extension 16, the loader chute or duct being rectangular in cross-section and complementary to the opening provided by the annular extension 16.
  • annular loader chute 38 and the annular extension 16 are rectangular in cross-section, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the cross-sectional shape could be oval or round if so desired.
  • the annular extension 16 is provided with a guillotine type of fire door 40 which is reciprocated by means of a hydraulic cylinder 42 having a piston rod 44. A more detailed description of the operation of the fire door 40 will follow in the specification and, of course, it will be understood that the fire door could be provided in the loader chute 38 if desired.
  • the annular extension 16 is part of the loader chute, but is made from'refractory lined material when making the casing 12, whereas the loader chute itself is made from steel.
  • the loader chute 38 forward of the fire door 40, is provided with an opening 46 in its upper wall and a waste receiving hopper 48 is mounted on the upper wall of the loader chute 38 and has its lower end surrounding the opening 46 of the loader chute 38.
  • Hopper 48 which is generally rectangular in cross-section, has an upper portion 50 which diverges inwardly and is connected to a lower portion 52 which has a uniform cross-sectional area except for a contoured wall 54 on one side of the same, the contoured wall being reinforced by a plurality of vertically extending web shaped members 56 (FIGS. 4 and Inmore detail, the contoured wall includes an inwardly diverging portion 58 and an outwardly curved portion 60, the curved portion 60 cooperating with a hopper door 62.
  • the opposite wall 64 from the contoured shaped wall 54,'is provided with an opening 66 through which the hopper door 62 swings between the open and closed positions.
  • the contoured hopper door 62 is scooped shaped forming a sector of a cylinder and includes a flat wall 68, end walls 70, and acontoured shaped curved wall 72.

  • Aiweb member 76 extends across the open back of the hopper door and provides a means for connecting a hydraulic cylinder assembly 78 and the piston rod 80 to the door and to the loader chute 38. As will be appreciated, operation of the hydraulic cylinder assembly will cause the door 62 to swing between the opened and closed positions during the proper portion of the cycle of operation.
  • An upper pusher member 82 and a lower pusher member 84 are mounted in the loader chute 38 for reciprocation therein, separately and simultaneously, as will be described later in the specification.
  • Both the upper and the lower pusher members 82 and 84 are elongated box shaped structures having open ends 85 and 87, respectively, and pusher faces 86 and 88, respectively, which have a combined pushing area substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of the loader chute 38.
  • the upper pusher member 82 is reciprocated by means of a hydraulic cylinder assembly 90 and a piston rod 92, whereas the lower pusher member 84 is reciprocated by a hydraulic cylinder assembly 94 having a piston rod 96. In the retracted position, as shown in FIG.
  • the pusher members 82 and 84 have their faces 86 and 88, respectively, aligned with the rearward edge of the opening 46 in the loader chute 38. As shown in FIG. 2, the pusher member 84 reciprocates forward to an intermediate position when the hopper door is open and it pushes waste material in front of the same into the combustion chamber 21. It will be noted that because of its elongated shape, its upper portion prevents waste material from the hopper falling behind the pusher face 88. When the hopper door 62 is open, the
  • pusher member 84 will continue to reciprocate between the retracted position, shown in FIG. 1, and the intermediate position, shown in FIG. 2, until all waste material is emptied from the hopper. Because of the space above the lower pusher member 84, waste material cannot clog in the chute 38 and interfere with the operation of the pusher member 84 as the pusher member can shear such material in this upper space.
  • the hopper door 62 moves to the closed position, as shown in FIG. 3, and then both the upper pusher member 82 and the lower pusher member 84 move simultaneously forward to a position in advance of the intermediate position of FIG. 2 to an advance position as shown in FIG. 3, wherein the entire loader chute 38 is cleared of all waste material. It should be noted that the advanced position of both the upper pusher member 82 and the lower pusher member 84 is just past the opening into the main combustion chamber 21 and, thus, the chute is entirely clear.
  • the hopper 48 is provided with a sensor 102 for indicating when the hopper is filled with waste material and a second sensor 104 for indicating when the hopper is empty.
  • These sensors 102 and 104 may be conventional sonic sensors which feed signals back to a loader control program unit for programming the cycle of operation. Assuming that the hopper door 62 is in the closed position, as will be the fire door 40, the hopper 48 is then filled with waste material to be burned until the sonic sensor 102 indicates that the hopper is completely filled.
  • the hopper'door 62 which up to this time has been closed and which has its curved surface 72 supporting the waste material and its fiat wall 68 closing the opening 46 in the chute 38, moves from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, thus, permitting material to fall downwardly through the lower portion 52 through the opening 46 into the area of the loader chute 38 forward of both of the pusher faces 86 and 88 of the pushers 82 and 84.
  • the signal indicating that the hopper 48 has been filled will also initiate opening of the fire door 40 which is provided with closed and open sensors 103 and 105 that may be limit switches and reciprocation of the lower pusher member 84 only. The pusher member 84 will continue to reciprocate between the position shown in FIG.
  • Sensors such as limit switches 106 and 108 feed signals back to the loader control program unit to cause the hydraulic cylinder 94 to actuate the pusher member back and forth between the aforementioned positions, and this will cause the lower pusher member 84 to continuously advance waste material into the combustion chamber 21 until such time as all waste material is exhausted from the hopper 48.
  • the sonic sensor 104 will sense this condition and will cause the hopper door 62 to close to the position shown in FIGS.
  • the hopper door 62 is sensed as either open or closed by means of the sensors 112 and 114, which may also be in the form of limit switches. These sensors 112 and 114 send signals into the loader control program unit and it will be appreciated that they, too, are programmed into the cycle of operation of the automatic loading means to control the operation of the various elements.
