Abstract
An apparatus for separating solid particles from flue gases (e.g. from a fluidised bed reactor (1), comprises a separation chamber (3) provided with a wall (4) in which there is a plurality of orifices (8) located a distance apart from each other in the flow direction of the gas, through which orifice gas is removed in a direction substantially deviating from the main flow direction of the gas. Preferably the wall (4) is straight in the main flow direction and is cooled. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Apparatus for removing solid components from flue gases
The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing solid components from flue gases, which is particularly suitable for the treatment of flue gases from a fluidized bed reactor in which the solid particles separated from the flue gases are recirculated into the fluidized bed reactor.
In fluidized bed reactors of this kind the separation of solids has earlier been performed in cyclone separators. The disadvantage of a cyclone separator is the fact that it requires a lot of space.
Its bulk is also big and therefore its thermal capacity is high, wherefore the running down and up of the reactor is time-consuming. The form of the cyclone separator causes thermal stresses which are difficult to control. Aiso the wearing of the apparatus causes problems.
U.S. Patent 4,253,425 discloses a fluidized bed reactor in which the flue gases are caused to flow through a channel provided with baffles changing the flow direction, whereby solid particles are separated when the flue gases impinge against the baffles and the solids fall down into the lower part of the reactor, from where they are returned to the reactor. The suggested apparatus does not, however, provide efficient removal of solids from gases.
The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus having a simple structure for efficient separation of solids from the gas flow.
It is another object of the invention to provide an apparatus by means of which heat can be recovered from a hot gas flow.
An apparatus according to the invention is primarily characterized in that the separation chamber comprises a wall provided with a plurality of orifices disposed a distance apart from each other in the flow direction of the gas, through which orificies gas is removed in a direction substantially deviating from the main flow direction of the gas.
The invention will be described further, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a fluidized bed reactor provided with a separator according to the invention;
Fig. 2 is a section as on the line A-A of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged views of point B in Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of point C in Fig. 2;
Fig. 5 shows the point illustrated in Fig. 3 seen in the direction of arrow D; and
Fig. 6 shows an alternative embodiment corresponding to Fig. 3.
Flue gases discharged from a fluidized bed reactor 1 illustrated in Fig. 1 are conveyed through an inlet opening 2 to a separation chamber 3. One wall 4 of the separation chamber is formed, as is shown in Figs. 2 to 5, by a plurality of parallel vertical tubes 5 and plates 6 connecting adjacent tubes. The tubes are connected to the water/steam system of the reactor in a manner known per se, and they act as heat transfer surfaces through which the flue gases transfer heat to a medium flowing in the tubes. Several rows 71 72, 7n of orifices 8 are disposed a distance apart from each other in the flow direction in the plates. In the lower portion of the separation chamber there is a discharge opening 9 for solid particles.The opposite wall 10 of the separation chamber is disposed obliquely with regard to the wall 8 so that the diameter of the separation chamber decreases towards the discharge opening 9. The discharge opening 9 is by means of a tube 11 connected to the bottom portion of the fluidized bed reactor. Guide blades 13 which are directed obliquely upwards are disposed in connection with the front edges 12 of the orificies 8 on the outlet side of the orificies.
The outlet orificies lead to an outlet channel 14.
The flue gases from a fluidized bed reactor which contain solid particles flow downwards in the separation chamber along wall 3 towards the discharge opening 9 for solid material. Gas is discharged from the orificies 8. The discharged gas flows under guidance of the guide blades 1 3 obliquely upwards to the outlet channel 14 in which the gas flows upward. Due to the sudden change in the direction of the gas, the solid particles which continue their movement forward in the main flow direction, are separated. In order to obtain efficient separation, a high velocity has to be maintained in the separation chamber.
Therefore the separation chamber is formed so that it narrows down towards the outlet openings 9 for the separated solid particles. The separated solids are returned to the lower part of the reactor through the tube 1 After the outlet channelthe gases are cooled in a manner known per se and the solids remaining in the gases after the primary separation performed in the separation chamber are removed.
Fig. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment, wherein tube-like guide means 1 5 directed obliquely upwards are disposed in connection with the orificies 8 in the plates 6 on the outlet side of the orificies.
A separator according to the invention may perhaps not be as efficient as a cyclone separator, but this is just an advantage, as eventual heat surfaces in the gas flow after the separator are kept cleaner due to the sweeping effect of the solid particles.
The invention is not limited to the specific embodiments shown, but it can be modified within the scope of the claims. Thus the separation chamber may have several walls through which gas is removed to several outlet channels. Guide means changing the flow direction of the gases may be disposed also on the incoming side of the gas discharge orificies.
1. An apparatus for separating solid particles from a gas flow, comprising a separation chamber provided with outlet openings, characterized in that the separation chamber is provided with a
