Definitions
- the invention relates to a so-called Fluidized Bed Heat Exchanger (FBHE) of a Circulating Fluidized Bed Apparatus (CFBA).
- FBHE Fluidized Bed Heat Exchanger
- CFBA Circulating Fluidized Bed Apparatus
- the invention starts from an FBHE with a chamber, comprising at least one solid particles inlet port, at least one solid particles outlet port, arranged at a distance to the at least one inlet port, means for introducing a fluidizing gas from a bottom area of said chamber into said chamber and at least one heat transfer means arranged within said chamber.
- the invention encompasses three structural elements, namely
- the heat transfer means extend in a vertically lower part of the FBHE chamber and
- each heat transfer means in the particles flow direction may best be realized by a wall like structure (a substantially flat and compact design of an individual heat transfer means).
- channels like “cavities/gaps” are arranged between adjacent heat transfer means, which channels extending as well in the flow/transport direction of the solid particles from the chamber entrance towards the outlet area (outlet port) of the chamber.
- the overall design of this part of the FBHE is similar to a chamber, divided by intermediate walls into compartments, all extending substantially linear between inlet and outlet ports of the FBHE.
- wall like does not only refer to a cubic design with flat surfaces but the overall volume which the respective heat transfer means take.
- Tube sections may extend in different directions along two axis of the coordinate system (within the same plane).
- This design allows the solid particles within the fluidized bed to flow through said spaces/channels between adjacent discrete heat transfer means, namely within said spaces (channels) formed between adjacent heat transfer means, although the material may penetrate the heat transfer means (for example in case of a heat transfer means made of one or more meandering tubes), but to much less extent than in the main flow direction.
- the at least one baffle extends in an upper part of the FBHE chamber
- the baffle(s) extend substantially perpendicular to a straight line between inlet port and outlet port and substantially vertical.
- This at least one baffle does not influence the flow of the solid particles within the part of the FBHE equipped with the heat transfer means as it is arranged above said heat transfer means and only serves to redirect the incoming solid particle stream (downwardly) and to equalize the pressure above the fluidized bed and along the horizontal cross section of the chamber, in particular, if provided with opening(s).
- the baffles have the function of separation walls and avoid short circuits of the solid material flow (directly from the inlet port to the outlet port). They urge the solid particle stream to penetrate into the heat transfer zone between the heat transfer means (the channels mentioned above).
- the invention further provides a structural connection of said heat transfer means with said baffle(s), i.e. some kind of a coupling to
- extensions may be bars, posts etc but preferably fluid transport means like tubes/pipes, allowing to increase the overall heat exchange surface at the same time, if water/steam flows through these extension pipes/tubes, which may be fluidly connected to any of the tubes of the heat transfer tubes and/or the baffles pipes.
- the extensions may be regarded as part of the baffle installation and/or as part of the heat transfer means, both in a thermotechnical sense.
- the extensions may have a small cross section as they extend within the space between adjacent heat transfer means and should avoid any unfavorable slowdown of the solid material flowing there through.
- the (horizontal) cross section (corresponding to the flow through area of the fluid) should be less than 50%, better ⁇ 40%, ⁇ 30%, ⁇ 20% or even ⁇ 10% of the horizontal distance between corresponding adjacent heat transfer means.
- connections/couplings may be realized by any conventional clamping mechanism as known to the skilled person from other applications.
- These clamping means may by hooks, brackets, clips, clamps, braces or the like.
- FIG. 1 A first figure.
- FIG. 1 discloses the general concept of a fluidized bed apparatus and its main components according to the present invention.
- the invention includes one or more of the following features:
- the fluidized bed heat exchanger 24 displays an inlet port 22 at its upper end (in FIG. 2 : top left) and an outlet port 30 at its upper end (in FIG. 2 : top right), i. e. opposite to each other.
- Said outlet port 30 provides return means for solid particles which are further transported along a transfer duct into chamber 14 .
- a common wall 14 w of chamber 14 and FBHE 24 is also displayed.
- Outlet port 30 comprises multiple flow through openings, arranged in a horizontal row with a distance to each other along a corresponding wall section of said wall 14 w.
- Said wall 14 w is water-cooled, namely constructed of vertically extending tubes with fins running between adjacent tubes.
- the tubes are cooled by water fed through said tubes.
- the through holes having the function of discrete outlet ports are shown in FIG. 2 in a slightly inclined orientation, with a lower end towards the fluidized bed heat exchanger 24 and a higher end towards the fluidized bed reactor chamber 14 .
- This inclined orientation can be provided as part of a 3-dimensional profile (for example as a convexity 14 w ′) of said wall 14 w towards the inner space/chamber of the fluidized bed heat exchanger 24 as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 2 and characterized by numeral 30 ′.
- FIGS. 2 to 4 display the design and construction of a type of heat transfer means 28 within the fluidized bed heat exchanger 24 .
- FIG. 2 only one of said heat transfer means is shown. Further heat transfer means of equal design are placed at a distance to each other within FBHE 24 (perpendicular to the plane of projection), as schematically shown in FIG. 4 .
- each of said means 28 is designed in a wall-like pattern and extending substantially parallel to the main flow direction of the solid particles on their way to and through the outlet port 30 , symbolized in FIG. 2 by arrow S.
- All tubes 28 are connected to the same feeding line 42 and outlet line 44 .
- the meandering tubes not only give the heat transfer means 28 a wall-like pattern but as well a grate-like structure to allow the particulate material to pass through as well in another horizontal direction, although to much less extent.
- the horizontally extending sections of said tubes are about ten times longer than the vertically extending sections ( FIG. 2 is not drawn to scale). Adjacent horizontal sections extent to a distance to each other being about the tube diameter.
- each of said wall-like heat transfer means 28 extends from slightly above bottom 24 b (or more precisely: from slightly above air nozzles 46 , arranged in said bottom 24 b , see FIG. 2 ) to slightly below inlet port 22 and from slightly off wall 14 w to slightly off opposite wall 24 w.
- the particulate material may take a direct way from the inlet port 22 to the outlet port 30 (see arrow S) along the channels/gaps C formed between adjacent tubes (heat transfer means), as may be seen in FIG. 3 .
- Fluidization of the particulate material within FBHE 24 is achieved by said air nozzles 46 in the bottom area 24 b .
- the particulate material is circulated by said purging means within FBHE 24 in order to optimize heat transfer from the hot solid particles P into the steam flowing within tube like heat transfer means 28 at a temperature of typically 300-625° C. and a pressure of between 80 and 300 bar.
- the embodiment displayed further includes two baffles 50 , 52 , which extent from ceiling 24 c downwardly, ending shortly above heat transfer means 28 .
- These baffles 50 , 52 extend substantially perpendicular to a straight line between inlet port 22 and outlet port 30 (dotted line L), i.e. perpendicular to the wall like heat transfer means 28 .
- Both baffles 50 , 52 extend between opposite walls of FBHE 24 (only one, namely 24 s is shown), being the walls bridging said walls 14 w , 24 w .
- the baffles 50 , 52 are arranged at a distance to each other.
- Each of said baffles 50 , 52 comprise one opening O (see FIG. 4 ) to allow pressure adjustment (equalization) within the inner space of FBHE 24 .
- the said baffle(s) 50 , 52 are further designed like a curtain, made of pipes, through which water of 270-374° C. at 90-320 bar is fed.
- baffles 50 , 52 urge the particulate material, flowing into chamber 10 via inlet port 22 , to move downwardly (see arrow S) at baffle 50 and then to flow through said channels C ( FIGS. 3,4 ) between adjacent heat transfer means 28 on their way between inlet port 22 and outlet port 30 .
- FIG. 4 shown the meandering wall like structure of heat transfer means (tubes) 28 , again only schematically for better illustration.
- FIG. 4 shown the meandering wall like structure of heat transfer means (tubes) 28 , again only schematically for better illustration.
- baffles 50 , 52 In view of the size of an industrial FBHE and the amount of solid material passing there through the skilled person will design the exact number, size and arrangement of heat transfer means 28 , baffles 50 , 52 , air nozzles 46 etc. in accordance with the specific demand.
- FIG. 4,5 further display pipe-like extensions E, extending from the respective baffle 50 , 52 downwardly and into the spaces C between adjacent heat transfer means 28 .
- the extensions E are in fluid communication with a central feeding line CFL to which pressure pipes PP are connected, which define the corresponding baffle 50 , 52 .
- Each baffle 50 , 52 is made of one or more of such pressure pipes PP, arranged similarly as the heat exchange tubes ET of heat transfer means 28 to allow water of 270-400° C. and 90-320 bar pressure passing there through.
- Each bracket/coupling B has a beam-like design with 3 openings through which 2 corresponding tube sections of a heat exchange tube ET and one section of a corresponding pipe extension E extend.
- the said brackets B are made of steel half shelves, laid around the corresponding pipe/tube and then closed by a screw, bolt, clamp or the like.
- each pipe extension E is about 20% of the distance (width of channel C) between adjacent all like heat transfer means 28 .
