The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating a protective atmosphere gas for heat treatment used in a heating furnace. Conventionally, a protective atmosphere gas for metals in a heating furnace is generated by passing a mixed gas of methane-type hydrocarbon gas and air through an endothermic gas generation catalyst to transform it. Gas is heated to 1,050°C or higher using a heating device and then passed through a catalyst to generate metamorphosed gas. However, in conventional protective atmosphere gas generators, the heating device for heating the catalyst is not used for purposes other than heating the catalyst, making it inefficient in terms of energy conservation. In addition, a large amount of methane-based hydrocarbon gas is required to be fed to the catalyst, and the heating temperature of the catalyst is also required to be high. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and makes it possible to effectively utilize a heating device for a catalyst used in the production of cold atmosphere gas, and to reduce the amount of methane-based hydrocarbon gas required. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an atmospheric gas generator that lowers the heating temperature of the catalyst.
A bottomed combustion cylinder is provided inside the hollow transformer main body so that the lower part communicates with the inner cylinder, and a gas combustion burner is installed in the inner cylinder, and further A shift converter in which a catalyst chamber filled with an endothermic gas generation catalyst is provided between the outer circumferential side wall of the combustion cylinder and the inner circumferential side wall of the shift converter body, and the catalyst chamber is divided into two by a partition plate. An exhaust gas pipe is provided which is connected to the combustion tube and sends the combustion exhaust gas in the combustion tube out of the shift converter, and this exhaust gas pipe is connected to a raw gas pipe which feeds methane-based hydrocarbon gas, and this connecting portion and the shift converter are connected to each other. By connecting one of the catalyst chambers divided by a partition plate inside the vessel,
A mixed gas pipe is provided to send mixed gas of exhaust gas and methane-based hydrocarbon gas into the catalyst, and the atmospheric gas transformed by the catalyst passes below the bottomed combustion tube and is divided by a partition plate. The gist of the present invention is an atmospheric gas generator characterized in that a delivery pipe for sending the gas out of the shift converter through the other catalyst chamber is provided in the upper part of the shift converter main body. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The atmospheric gas generator according to the present invention will be described below based on illustrated embodiments. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of an atmospheric gas generator according to the present invention. 1 is a transformer, and 1a is a main body of the transformer 1, and the main body 1a is hollow surrounded by an outer wall 1b made of brick or the like. In the bottomed combustion tube 2 installed inside the transformer main body 1a so that the lower part communicates,
An inner cylinder 2a is provided so that the lower part thereof communicates with each other, and a gas combustion burner 3 is installed in the inner cylinder 2a, and the outer peripheral side wall 2b of the combustion cylinder 2 and the inner peripheral side wall 1c of the transformer main body 1a are connected. Catalyst chambers 4a and 4b filled with an endothermic gas generating catalyst are provided between them, and the catalyst chambers are divided into two by a partition plate 5. An exhaust gas pipe 6 is provided which is connected to the combustion tube 2 and sends out the combustion exhaust gas in the combustion tube 2 to the outside of the transformer 1, and this exhaust gas pipe 6 is connected to a raw gas pipe 7 which feeds methane-based hydrocarbon gas. A mixed gas pipe 9 is provided which connects the part 8 and one catalyst chamber 4a divided by the partition plate 5 in the shift converter, and sends mixed gas of exhaust gas and methane hydrocarbon gas into the catalyst. A delivery pipe 10 that sends the atmospheric gas transformed by the catalyst to the outside of the transformer passes through the bottom of the bottomed combustion tube 2, passes through the other catalyst chamber 4b divided by the partition plate 5, and is connected to the shift converter. It is provided on the upper part of the main body 1a. A mixed gas pipe 11 is connected to the burner 3, and a mixed gas of a methane-based hydrocarbon gas such as propane or butane and air is sent to the burner 3. Further, the first catalyst chamber 4a and the second catalyst chamber 4b, which are partitioned by the partition plate 5, are each filled with an endothermic gas generation catalyst heated by the combustion tube 2, and the lower part is It is part of the space. The amount of methane-based hydrocarbon gas sent from the raw gas pipe 7 is adjusted according to the atmosphere of the heating furnace by feeding back the carbon potential of the atmosphere. As configured above, in the atmospheric gas generator according to the present invention, the catalyst chambers 4a and 4b are connected to the outer wall 1 of the shift converter 1.
Since the structure is in contact with b, the excess amount of heat required for the endothermic reaction of the catalyst can be dissipated to the outside. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, by attaching it to the workpiece heating end of the conveyor-type continuous bright quenching furnace A, it is possible to contribute to keeping the furnace A warm. Furthermore, if you use it as shown in Figure 3,
There is also the advantage that the piping distance of the delivery pipe 10 for sending out the generated atmospheric gas can be shortened. The following table shows experimental values showing the composition of the atmospheric gas produced by the apparatus used in the embodiments of the invention as described above at catalyst transformation temperatures of 780 DEG C. to 950 DEG C.

The dew point temperature is within 10℃, which is a good enough value for the atmosphere of the heating furnace.
These values are in a way inferior to the values obtained when a mixed gas of methane-based hydrocarbon gas and hydrogen is fed into the catalyst and heated to 1050°C or higher for transformation as in the past. As explained above, according to the atmospheric gas generator according to the present invention, the catalyst chamber is in contact with the outer wall of the shift converter 1, so that the excess amount of heat required for the endothermic reaction of the catalyst can be reduced. It can be released to the outside. Therefore, by attaching it to the workpiece heating end of a conveyor-type continuous bright quenching furnace, it can contribute to keeping the furnace warm. In addition, the catalyst heating device, which was conventionally not used for anything other than heating the catalyst, is effectively used, and the exhaust gas from this heating device is used as a raw material for generating atmospheric gas, resulting in a significant energy saving effect. . In addition, the amount of methane-based hydrocarbon gas required to generate atmospheric gas can be reduced to an extremely small amount, and the temperature required for conversion to atmospheric gas (endothermic reaction) in the catalyst is also lower than in the past. A much lower temperature is sufficient. Therefore, from this point of view as well, a remarkable effect can be achieved in terms of energy saving, and the atmospheric gas generated is of extremely high quality. Note that a carburizing atmosphere can be easily generated by adding a small amount of methane-based hydrocarbon gas to the atmospheric gas generated by the apparatus of the present invention.
