Abstract
Apparatus for the removal of dust from hot combustion gas under pressure comprises a plurality of tubular ceramic filter elements (12) which are closed at one end and are held by their open ends in apertures in plates (11). Several tube plates (11) are arranged at different heights within a housing (1), wherein the diameter of the plates (11) increases upwards of the housing (1). Connected to each of the lower plates (11) is a respective hood (16) for removing filtered gas from the elements (12), and each hood narrows upwardly and is connected in gas-tight manner with a central aperture (17) in the plate (11) arranged thereabove. Filtered gas is removed from the space above top plate (11). A rotary nozzle 18 sweeps over each plate (11) to deliver reverse flow gas to clean the elements (12). <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Gas cleaning apparatus
The present invention relates to apparatus for cleaning hot gas, especially for the removal of dust from hot gas under pressure.
Apparatus, described in GB-PS 14 71 606, for this purpose is employed for the separation of suspended radio-active particles from a gas. In that case, a sintered metal is used as the material for the tubular filter elements.
It would be of advantage to provide apparatus for the cleaning of flue gas generated under pressure in a steam generator for the combustion of fuel, such apparatus being capable of handling high throughput rates.
According to the present invention there is provided apparatus for cleaning hot gas, comprising a housing, a plurality of plates arranged in the housing at spacings one above the other and comprising a lower plate and a plurality of upper plates, a respective plurality of tubular filter elements mounted at open ends thereof in each of the plates, the elements of each plurality being closed at their other ends, means defining a respective extraction hood above each plurality of filter elements, and cleaning means extending through central apertures in the upper plates and comprising a respective cleaning device disposed above each plurality of filter elements.
A parallel connection of the filter elements associated with each plate can be achieved in such apparatus, so that high gas throughput rates are possible. The particular arrangement of the cleaning means requires little space so that altogether compact filter equipment is provided. In this manner, it is possible to employ filter tubelets.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be more particularly described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of apparatus embodying the invention;
Figure 2 is the detail Z of Fig. 1 showing one form of mounting filter elements in the apparatus; and
Figure 3 is the detail Z of Fig. 1 showing another form of mounting filter elements in the apparatus.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown apparatus which serves for the cleaning of hot gases, standing under pressure, from the combustion of fuels in the furnace of a steam generator. A pressure-charged fluidised bed furnace can be employed as the furnace. The apparatus comprises a housing 1, preferably a cylindrical housing of vertical mode of construction, surrounded by an insulating layer 2 for protection against heat radiation.
In its lower region, the housing is provided with a feed pipe 3 for the raw gas. An outlet pipe 4 for the cleaned pure gas is connected to the narrowed upper part of the housing 1.
The part of the housing 1 below the pipe 3 is constructed as a funnel 5. A collecting funnel 7 for the dust separated out in the housing is connected to the funnel 5 by way of a sluice system 6. The collecting funnel 7 is provided with an output device 8, in the form of a cooled conveying worm.
Two closure flaps 9 are arranged one behind the other in each of the feed pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 4. Provided between the closure flaps 9 is a stub pipe 10, through which a medium standing under pressure can be supplied to or exhausted from the housing in order to place the housing under pressure or to relieve it. Further stub pipes 10 of that kind can be connected to the housing to the collecting funnel 7 and to the sluice system 6.
Plates 11 are provided at different heights in the housing 1. The diameter of the plates 11 increases with the height of the housing 1, thus in the flow direction of raw gas to be cleaned. Ceramic tubular filter elements 12 are suspended in each plate 11.
Each filter element 12 is closed at one side and projects by its closed end into the interior of the housing. The open upper end of the filter element 12 penetrates one of the plates 11. At this end, the filter element 12 is provided with a collar 13, which rests on an annular shoulder 14 in the plate 11 (Fig. 2 or Fig. 3). The filter element 12 is detachably held in the plate 11 by a securing plate 15. After detaching of the securing plate 15, the filter elements 12 can be removed upwardly. In order to facilitate removal of the filter elements 12 with a small overall height of the housing 1, the plates 11 can be, as illustrated in Fig. 3, installed in the housing 1 at a small angle to the horizontal.
An extraction hood 16, which conically narrows upwardly, is connected to each plate 11 above the filter elements 12. The extraction hood associated with the uppermost plate 11 is formed by the housing 1. Each plate 11, with the exception of the lower plate, is provided with a central recess 17.
Connected in gas-tight manner with the recess 17 of one plate 11 is the upper end of the extraction hood 16 of the plate 11 arranged thereunder. At the same time, the extraction hoods 16 serve for the suspension of each plate from the plate thereabove. The plates 11 equipped with the filter elements 12 are connected in parallel at the gas side by this arrangement.
The filter cake, which forms on the outside of the filter elements 12, is removed from time to time through scavenging gas of increased pressure, which flows through the filter elements 12 against the direction of the gas to be cleaned. A cleaning device is provided above each pate 11 and is employed for the performance of the filter cleaning. It consists of nozzles which are arranged on a rotata ble arm 18 so as to be able to wipe over the associated plate. The nozzles are supplied through a tube 19, which is guided through the central recesses 17 of the plates 11. A number of co-axial tubes 19 is provided, which corresponds to the number of the plates 11. The tubes 19 issue centrally from the top of the housing 1 and are provided with a rinsing gas connection 20 and a rotary drive 21.
