- Superheated steam generating units that use superheated steam without using energy derived from fossil fuels such as heavy oil, kerosene, or gas are known.
- Superheated steam is obtained by further heating saturated steam, and since it has less oxygen than saturated steam, heat treatment products such as water and dry distillation gases are not oxidized or burned. Therefore, superheated steam is widely used in dehydration heat treatment, oil extraction heat treatment, drying heat treatment, carbonization heat treatment, activation heat treatment, etc.
- An example of a fossil fuel-free superheated steam generation unit is one that has an electrically driven conductive hollow tube heater attached to an insulated structure with a saturated steam (or water) inlet and a superheated steam outlet (or closed end).

- JP 2007-298223 A Patent No. 4227629 A
- the folded portion of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 502 is firmly fixed by the retaining insulator 504, but there is a problem in that the straight portion of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 502 is easily damaged due to thermal expansion and contraction of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 502.

- the superheated steam generating unit in FIG. 1 is a single-stage unit for high-temperature superheated steam of, for example, 700 to 800°C.
- the single-stage superheated steam generating unit 1 has an airtight rectangular parallelepiped insulation structure 11 consisting of an upper periphery made of insulation material 111, a part of the periphery made of joint material (also insulation material) 112, a stainless steel frame 113 covering the insulation material 111 and the joint material 112, a handle 114 on the upper part of the stainless steel frame 113, and a mounting plate 115 on the lower part of the stainless steel frame 113.
- the insulation material 111 is, for example, a felt or plate-shaped molding material made of bulk fiber with inorganic and organic binders added.
- the joint material 112 is a hard insulation material, for example, concrete.
- the lower part of the rectangular parallelepiped insulation structure 11 is open at the open end OP1, and a heating plate 14 is fitted into it.
- a saturated steam (or water) inlet 11a and a closed end 11b are inserted and fixed into the joint material 112.
- a hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 made of an alloy such as Inconel, Hastelloy or stainless steel is provided within a rectangular insulating structure 11 from the saturated steam (or water) inlet 11a to the closed end 11b.
- the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 also has, for example, six straight sections 12-1 to 12-6 and five folded sections 12-7 to 12-11 that fold back the straight sections 12-1 to 12-6.
- a saturated steam side electrode 13a provided with a heat sink 13a-1 is provided on the saturated steam inlet 11a side of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12, while a superheated steam side electrode 13b provided with a heat sink 13b-1 is provided on the closed end 11b side of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12.
- a DC or AC voltage is applied between the saturated steam side electrode 13a and the superheated steam side electrode 13b, the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 is heated to, for example, about 700°C to 800°C, and the saturated steam P in the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 becomes superheated steam Q1, and the superheated steam Q1 flows toward the closed end 11b.
- the superheated steam Q1 from the superheated steam discharge nozzle 12a in the middle of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 is discharged downward from the opening of the heating plate 14.
- the heating plate 14 is heated by radiant heat (far-infrared light) H1 from the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12, and the far-infrared light H1 is discharged downward from the heating plate 14.
- the heating plate 14 is an iron plate, such as stainless steel (SUS304), with the surface sintered with black body ceramic, and a ceramic reflector 15 supported by a reflector stay 15a is provided above the heating plate 14 to increase the far infrared light H1 from the heating plate 14. In this way, high temperature heat treatment is possible with the combined heat of the superheated steam Q1 at, for example, 700°C to 800°C and the far infrared light H1.
- the temperature sensor (thermocouple) 16 is provided inside the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 and is used to control the temperature of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12.
- the heater includes a heat-resistant ceramic vertical holder 16' for slidably holding, for example, six straight portions 12-1 to 12-6 of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12, stainless steel horizontal holders 17a and 17b for holding the ceramic vertical holder 16' from above and below, a stainless steel stay 18a for fixing the horizontal holders 17a and 17b, and a stainless steel stay 18b for fixing the horizontal holder 17b to the ceiling side of the stainless steel frame 113 via an upper heat insulating member 111.
- the ceramic vertical holder 16' is divided into eight holder pieces 16'-1, 16'-2, ..., 16'-8.
- the insulator structure is composed of a ceramic vertical holder 16'(16'-1,16'-2, ..., 16'-8), horizontal holders 17a, 17b, and stays 18a, 18b.
- the ceramic vertical holder 16' has an opening with a diameter of, for example, 30 mm, which is larger than the diameter of the straight parts 12-1 to 12-6, for example, 20 mm. Therefore, even if the straight parts 12-1 to 12-6 of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 thermally expand and contract, the straight parts 12-1 to 12-6 of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 easily slide within the opening of the ceramic vertical holder 16', so that they are less likely to be damaged.
- the folded parts 12-7 to 12-11 of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 also thermally expand and contract, but the amount of thermal expansion is smaller than that of the straight parts 12-1 to 12-6.
- the folded portions 12-7 to 12-11 of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow-tube heater 12 were firmly fixed, the thermal expansion and contraction of the straight portions 12-1 to 12-6 of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow-tube heater 12 would be prevented, making the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow-tube heater 12 more susceptible to damage. Therefore, the folded portions 12-7 to 12-11 of the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow-tube heater 12 are left unconstrained.
- heating plate 14 is provided in FIG. 1, the heating plate 14 does not have to be provided. In this case, the effect of the far-infrared light H1 is lost, and only the effect of the superheated steam Q1 remains.
- Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of a superheated steam generating unit according to the present invention, where (A) is a cross-sectional view and (B) is a view taken along line B-B in (A).
- the superheated steam generating unit in Fig. 3 is a two-stage type for use in generating superheated steam at ultra-high temperatures, for example, 1000°C to 1600°C.
- a superheated steam generating function is further added to the superheated steam generating unit 1 in Fig. 1 to form a two-stage superheated steam generating unit 2. That is, an airtight rectangular parallelepiped insulation structure 21 consisting of a heat insulating material 211, a stainless steel frame 212 covering the heat insulating material 211, and a mounting plate 213 at the lower part of the heat insulating material 211 is added, and instead of the heating plate 14 provided at the open end OP1 in Fig.
- a heating plate 14' for passing the superheated steam Q1 is provided at the upper open end OP2 of the rectangular parallelepiped insulation structure 21, and a heating plate 24 is provided at the lower open end OP3 of the rectangular parallelepiped insulation structure 21.
- the superheated steam discharge nozzle 12a passes through the opening of the heating plate 14' and enters the rectangular parallelepiped insulation structure 21.
- a high-temperature heater 22 (for example, KANTHAL, a registered trademark of Sandvik K.K.) made of, for example, molybdenum disilicide (MoSi 2 ) is provided in the rectangular parallelepiped heat insulation structure 21, and for this purpose, electrodes 23a, 23b of the high-temperature heater 22 are provided in the heating plate 14'. Therefore, the heating plate 14' is thicker than the heating plate 14 in FIG. 1. In this case, when a DC or AC voltage is applied between the electrodes 23a and 23b, the high-temperature heater 22 is heated and the superheated steam Q1 in the rectangular parallelepiped heat insulation structure 21 becomes superheated steam Q2 having a higher temperature, for example, 1000° C.
- KANTHAL a registered trademark of Sandvik K.K.
- the heating plate 14' is heated by radiant heat (far-infrared light) H1 from the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12, and the far-infrared light H1 from the heating plate 14' is emitted downward as far-infrared light H2 from the heating plate 24.
- the heating plates 14' and 24 are made of high-temperature heat-resistant materials such as tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), and ceramics whose surfaces are sintered into black-body ceramics. In this way, ultra-high temperature heat treatment is possible by the combined heat of the superheated steam Q2 at, for example, 1000°C to 1600°C and the far-infrared light H2.
- the temperature sensor (thermocouple) 26 is provided inside the high-temperature heater 22 and is used to control the temperature of the high-temperature heater 22.
- heating plate 24 does not have to be provided. In this case, the effect of the far-infrared light H2 is lost, and only the effect of the superheated steam Q2 remains.
- Figure 4 shows a first heat treatment system using the superheated steam generation unit of Figure 1, (A) being a top view and (B) being a front view.
- one heat treatment unit 3 is provided for two superheated steam generating units, i.e., superheated steam generating units 1-1 and 1-2, as in FIG. 1, but the number of superheated steam generating units is not limited to this.
- a common power supply unit 43 is provided for the grease trap 41, saturated steam generating unit 42, and superheated steam generating units 1-1 and 1-2.
- the saturated steam generating unit 42 heats hot water, for example at about 80°C, to generate saturated steam at about 100°C to 120°C for the superheated steam generating units 1-1 and 1-2, and is relatively small and electrically driven.
- An example of the saturated steam generating unit 42 is a light boiler manufactured by Nakamoto Co., Ltd., model number trademark NBC2101R.
- the saturated steam from the saturated steam generating unit 42 is supplied to the saturated steam inlet 11a of the superheated steam generating units 1-1 and 1-2 via a solenoid valve (not shown).
- the thermal treatment unit 3 has a pyrolysis chamber 31, a screw 32 in the pyrolysis chamber 31, a screw conveyor drive shaft 33, and a geared motor 33' that drives the screw conveyor drive shaft 33.
- a hopper 34 is provided above the pyrolysis chamber 31 to feed the material to be treated into the pyrolysis chamber 31.
- thermal decomposition The oxygen concentration dissolved in normal water at room temperature is about 0.6%. When water is converted into saturated steam, the volume increases by 1600 times. Therefore, the oxygen concentration in the superheated steam Q1 in the thermal decomposition chamber 3 is 0.1 to 0.2%, and as a result, the thermal decomposition chamber 3 becomes almost oxygen-free. Therefore, even if the material to be treated is heated by superheated steam Q1 or far-infrared light H1 at 700°C to 800°C, it is not oxidized or burned, but is instantly decomposed and rendered harmless. This decomposition is called thermal decomposition.
- the heat transfer of the superheated steam Q1 or far-infrared light H1 to the material to be treated is achieved by convection heat transfer as well as the most characteristic condensation heat transfer effect, so that the superheated steam Q1 or far-infrared light H1 acts as thermal energy with high thermal efficiency.
- the condensation heat transfer effect is when the temperature of the material being heat-treated is lower than 100°C, the superheated steam Q1 or far-infrared light H1 condenses on the material, and the condensation temperature due to the large amount of condensation heat provided is 100°C, so the material shows a temperature rise similar to that of being heated in boiling water. The amount of condensation is greater the lower the material is, and condensation continues until the material reaches 100°C. In this superheated steam treatment, the material reaches 700°C to 800°C in a short time, and when the falling drying rate period begins, the temperature of the material begins to rise above 100°C.
- the material to be treated is fed from the hopper 34 into the pyrolysis chamber 31 and stirred by the screw 32, while pyrolysis proceeds with the superheated steam Q1 and far-infrared light H1 from the superheated steam generating units 1-1 and 1-2.
- Water is extracted at the beginning of pyrolysis and falls into the drain pot 34' after high-temperature sterilization. The water that falls into the drain pot 34' can be recycled. In addition, the oil that falls into the drain pot 34' is sent to the grease trap 41.
- the dry distillation gas G generated at the same time is passed through the dry distillation gas discharge pipe 35 to a cyclone 36 for separating dust, and then to a hot water heat exchanger 36', where it is condensed and liquefied in a liquefaction heat exchanger 36".
- the dry distillation gas G is a volatile substance obtained at the same time as thermally decomposing non-volatile solid organic matter by igniting it in the absence of air.
- the oil obtained in the liquefaction heat exchanger 36" is sent to a grease trap 41, while the hot water obtained is sent to a saturated steam generation unit 42, contributing to energy saving in the saturated steam generation unit 42.
- the condensed liquid is treated in a wastewater treatment machine (not shown) and then discharged. Valuable resources such as oil contained in the condensed and liquefied liquid can be recycled after oil separation and purification in the grease trap 41.

- the control unit 4 receives temperature from the temperature sensors 16 of the superheated steam generation units 1-1 and 1-2 to control the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heaters 12 of the superheated steam generation units 1-1 and 1-2, and also controls each part of the heat treatment unit 3.
- the heating temperature of the conductive hollow tube heater 12 using an alloy such as incone, Hastelloy, or stainless steel is about 800°C to 900°C
- the superheated steam is about 700°C to 800°C. Therefore, the materials to be treated are organic materials such as industrial waste, for example sludge, especially materials with a high carbon content, charcoal, bamboo charcoal, coffee dregs, discarded tofu, plant seeds, etc., and by setting the temperature at the appropriate level, the drying process, carbonization process, carbonization process, and activation process can be carried out.
- organic sludge can be appropriately treated to produce biomass.
- the heat treatment unit 3 is provided so as to be connected to the heating plate 14 of the superheated steam generating units 1-1 and 1-2, but it may also be provided in the superheated steam generating units 1-1 and 1-2 that do not have the heating plate 14. In this case, the effect of the far-infrared light H1 is lost, and only the effect of the superheated steam Q1 remains.

- the oil obtained in the liquefaction heat exchanger 36" is sent to the grease trap 41, and the hot water obtained is sent to the saturated steam generation unit 42, contributing to the energy saving of the saturated steam generation unit 42. Therefore, no odor or gas is generated.
- Valuable resources such as oil contained in the condensed and liquefied liquid can be recycled after oil separation and purification in the grease trap 41.
- the pyrolyzed residue R is transported from the residue discharge gate 37 via the discharge conveyor 38 to the stockyard 39.
- the metals, stones, carbides, etc. transported to the stockyard 39 can be recycled.
- the control unit 4' controls the entire heat treatment system shown in Figures 7 and 8.
- the control unit 4' receives the temperature from the temperature sensor 16 of the superheated steam generation unit 1 (2) and controls the hairpin-shaped conductive hollow tube heater 12 of the superheated steam generation unit 1 (2), and also controls each part of the heat treatment unit 3'.
- control unit 4' in Figures 7 and 8 is also performed based on the flowchart in Figure 6, but in step 603, a predetermined amount of material to be treated is simply manually fed into the pyrolysis chamber 31' through the material to be treated inlet 44.
- rectangular heat insulating structures 11 and 21 in Figures 1 and 3 do not have to be rectangular.
- they may be polygonal or cylindrical.
- the processed materials in Figures 4, 5, 7, and 8 include frozen food ingredients, raw materials such as coal, wood, and bamboo. Frozen food ingredients can be thawed by processing, making them suitable for convenience store vendors. By processing raw materials such as coal, wood, and bamboo, gas fuel, anthracite, activated carbon, charcoal, bamboo charcoal, etc. can be separated.
