Definitions

  • the invention relates to a furnace for a fluidized bed boiler comprising two soles separated by a crotch at the bottom of the furnace, and at least one panel of heat exchange tubes.
  • a fireplace of the type indicated above for a circulating fluidized bed boiler is known in particular from the patent application.
  • EP-A-0 477 849 It is known to install inside a fluidized bed boiler furnace one or more panels of heat exchange tubes traversed by a heat transfer fluid such as water or an emulsion of water and steam - as described for example in the document WO-A-98,25074 .
  • Each panel of tubes is arranged conventionally perpendicular to the side walls of the fireplace by being fixed or not.
  • a hearth comprising two soles separated by a crotch
  • such an arrangement has the disadvantage of limiting the number of panels that can be installed on the side walls of the fireplace without hindering the flow of particles to the cyclones provided on these side walls.
  • the object of the invention is to propose another arrangement of heat exchange tube panels that takes advantage of the structure of a fireplace having in its lower part a crotch.
  • the furnace for a fluidized bed boiler according to the invention is characterized in that the panel of heat exchange tubes is disposed vertically above said crotch and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said soles. In this way, it does not interfere with the load balance in the home.
  • a plurality of panels may be arranged in a row on the top of the crotch being spaced regularly from each other in said longitudinal direction so as to leave sufficient circulation space for the particles does not create pressure imbalances at the same time. inside the fireplace.
  • the tubes forming a panel are an extension of the tubes forming the crotch which prevents the formation of crossings in the crotch.
  • a fireplace according to the invention may also comprise an alternation of panels whose tubes are an extension of the tubes forming the crotch and panels whose tubes are connected to a collector disposed under the crotch. So there will be panels powered by the fluid flowing in the walls of the fireplace and panels fed either by the same fluid or by another heat transfer fluid.
  • each panel of tubes is fixed to the ceiling of the hearth so that the panel of tubes can, if necessary, be placed in tension between the crotch and the ceiling of the hearth to limit the vibrations produced by the circulation of the fluid. the tubes of the panels.
  • the figure 1 is a very schematic view of a fireplace according to the invention in longitudinal section showing a panel of tubes disposed on the crotch of the hearth.
  • the figure 2 is a very schematic view of the top of the fireplace showing the arrangement of several panels of tubes on the crotch of the hearth.
  • the figure 3 illustrates very schematically the formation of a panel of tubes with the tubes forming the crotch of the hearth.
  • the fireplace shown on the figure 1 is a furnace for circulating fluidized bed (CFL) boiler whose lower part forms a crotch 1 separating two soles 2.3 from the hearth. Outputs from the fireplace to cyclones are indicated by references 4,5.
  • the exits to the cyclones are usually arranged on the side walls of the hearth and a crotch fire may have four or more outlets to the cyclones disposed on either side of the crotch.
  • the fireplace according to the invention is equipped with at least one panel 6 of heat exchange tubes which is arranged vertically on the top of the crotch 1 and perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction A of the soles 2 and 3 which does not interfere not the flow of gases and particles indicated by the arrows GP and does not create pressure imbalance in the home.
  • Each panel 6 of heat exchange tubes is fixed to the ceiling 7 of the fireplace and is placed in tension between the ceiling and the crotch to prevent the unwanted vibrations of the tubes of the panel during operation of the fireplace.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown an inlet manifold 8 placed under the crotch 6 and an outlet manifold 9 placed on top of the ceiling 7 of the hearth to which the tubes of the panel 6 are connected.
  • a large number of panels 6 of tubes can be arranged in a row on the top of the crotch 1 being regularly spaced from each other along the crotch 1.
  • the tubes forming the heat exchange panels 6 may be an extension of the tubes forming the crotch of the hearth. It is also possible to have an alternation of panels 6 whose tubes are an extension of the tubes forming the crotch of the fireplace and panels whose tubes are connected to the inlet manifold 8.
  • the figure 3 illustrates a panel 6A (seen from above), the tubes 10 are an extension of the tubes 11 forming the crotch 1 and a panel 6B (seen from above), the tubes 12 are connected to the inlet manifold 8 (not shown).
  • the topology of the tubes forming the crotch 1 shown on the figure 3 is only an example of the invention.
  • the arrangement of the panels 6 according to the invention is suitable both for a crotch plane as illustrated on the figure 1 that an inverted V-shaped crotch. Furthermore, in the example shown, the outputs 4.5 to the cyclones are located on the side faces 13,14; they could be located on the transverse side faces 15 and 16
