Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for operating one with liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, especially heating oil or natural gas, fired boilers, where the burner of the boiler fuel and atomizing air are fed and the fuel-air mixture formed is burned.
  • the invention relates also refer to a device for performing a such procedure.
  • Modern boilers are now fired with heating oil or natural gas.
  • the combustion of the hydrocarbons that form these fuels produces flue gases that contain certain undesirable components that lead to harmful air pollution.
  • a particularly harmful component here are nitrogen oxides or nitrogen oxides (NO x ).
  • NO x nitrogen oxides
  • a not insignificant part of these NO x emissions is generated by the flue gases from hydrocarbon-fired boilers.
  • NO x is harmful in that it contributes to the formation of the photochemical smog in a complicated manner. As a result, the amount of ozone near the ground can be increased. Furthermore, NO x leads to acidification of the soil and the water. It also poses a health risk, especially for asthma sufferers.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus for operating a boiler fired with liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, with which or with which the NO x content in the flue gases of the boiler can be reduced.
  • This object is achieved in a method of Type described above solved in that the atomizing air a humidification process before mixing with the fuel is subjected.
  • NO x is formed at high temperatures (above 1300 ° C), the proportion of which increases exponentially with increasing temperatures. Furthermore, it takes a certain time and an excess of oxygen to form NO x . Depending on the actual combustion conditions, different fractions of nitrogen oxides are formed. The high temperature peaks are compensated for by the supplied moist air. With regard to the total combustion air, the nitrogen source is also reduced and the excess of oxygen is somewhat reduced, since, unlike air, the water vapor produced does not contain any free oxygen.
  • the atomizing air for the fuel is subjected to the humidification process.
  • the liquid vapor content achieved by the moistening is intimately mixed with the fuel particles, so that the desired effect occurs.
  • the liquid vapor supplied is thus fed directly to the combustion core, which results in the desired combustion conditions which result in a reduction in the NO x gases.
  • the atomizing air directly with liquid vapor, especially water vapor, are mixed, or the atomizing air becomes Humidification contacted with a liquid, preferably the contacted liquid as a liquid vapor component is carried along with the atomizing air.
  • the humectant (preferably water) is convenient heated before contacting the atomizing air, to allow the appropriate formation of liquid vapor or to facilitate. It is only necessary heat the liquid slightly because through contact with the compressed atomizing air, if necessary large amounts of liquid evaporate and thus the Properties of the atomizing air changed significantly can be. A low temperature is achieved the atomizing air, which is beneficial to combustion affects to achieve or maintain.
  • the contacting of the liquid with the atomizing air in an embodiment of the invention suggested atomizing the liquid and the liquid mist formed with the atomizing air to bring in contact.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides that the liquid and atomizing air passed over a contact body and on this Be brought into contact with each other in a way. It understands that in this case, too, the liquid before the application of the contact body can be atomized. In in both cases there is intimate mixing. It understands at least with this approach Part of the liquid evaporates and with the atomizing air is carried along. The rest of the liquid can collected and fed to the liquid circuit again become.
  • the atomizing air is expediently in countercurrent contacted with the humectant.
  • the atomizing air is expediently used before humidification compressed (via a compressor or a blower), so that when they come into contact with the liquid accordingly is heated and evaporation through heat exchange of the liquid supplied.
  • the method according to the invention is completely self-regulating.
  • the liquid used is distilled by the process. Since the throughput of the atomizing air increases after the humidification process, there is the possibility of greatly reducing the energy consumption, more than is required for the use of an extra pump for circulating the liquid for the humidification process. In addition to reducing the NO x emissions and other environmentally harmful substances in the flue gas of the boiler, the energy consumption for the blower or the compressor of the atomizing air can be reduced.
  • the invention further relates to a device for performing the method reproduced above with a Boiler with burner and a fuel supply line as well an atomizing air supply line for the burner.
  • the device is characterized in that in the burner or in the atomizing air supply line Humidification device provided for the atomizing air is.
  • the humidification device is preferably in the atomizing air flow direction after a blower or compressor arranged for the atomizing air.
  • a blower or such a compressor is used for air supply anyway needed for the burner.
  • provided humidification device in existing Systems can be installed without much additional effort. To do this, the humidifier and a Liquid circuit integrated in the existing pipe system become.
  • the humidifier is preferably a humidification tower.
  • the humidification device itself has in particular one Connection for the atomizing air, a connection for the Humidifier and an atomizer for that Humectant.
  • a connection for the Humidifier When training the humidifier as a humidification tower is the connection for the humidifier at the top of the turn, and the atomizer is located in the upper tower area. Of the The connection for the atomizing air is at the bottom End of tower.
  • the moistening device additionally having a contact body may contain on which the humidifier Is atomized using the atomizing device (nozzle).
  • the humidifier thus falls in the form of a mist down and is collected at the bottom of the humidification tower, from which it is returned from the circuit to the upper end of the tower becomes.
  • the compressed and heated atomizing air from below into the humidification tower introduced and flows upwards, taking with the liquid mist comes into contact.
  • the outlet for the moistened Atomizing air is preferably also on upper end of the tower.
  • the device preferably also has a device for preheating the humidifier before contact with the atomizing air.
  • a heat exchanger which preferably receives thermal energy from the boiler of the device.
  • the liquid is pumped into a liquid circuit circulates the pump, the heat exchanger and contains the humidification tower.
  • the Liquid collected at the bottom of the humidification tower also be drained.
  • the liquid itself is preferably Water. However, other liquids or Liquid mixtures are used with which the same or an appropriate purpose can be achieved.
  • the invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment in connection with the single drawing in detail explained.
  • the drawing shows the schematic structure a device designed according to the invention.
  • the illustration shows schematically a boiler 1 with a Burner 2, which is connected to fuel via a fuel line 3, for example heating oil. Also owns the burner 2 an atomizing air supply line 4. Die atomizing air supplied with this serves for atomizing the fuel to form a fuel-air mixture, which is subjected to a combustion process.
  • Embodiment is the atomizing air from the blower 9 under pressure and in the heated state in a humidification tower 5 introduced.
  • the introduction follows at the bottom of the tower. From an appropriate line 8 the atomizing air is blown upwards.
  • a contact body 7 made of a suitable material.
  • a liquid supply line opens into the tower 10 shown liquid circuit. Act on the liquid it is water.
  • the water is pump 11 fed to a heat exchanger 12 and heated there. The thermal energy To heat the water, the boiler 1 come.
  • the water supplied is only partially evaporates. A larger part is collected in the lower one End range of the humidification tower 5 and from there put back into the liquid circuit 10. Alternatively excess water can be drained off, as at 13 shown.
