Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method for closing off one or more passages in a ring furnace for calcining of carbon bodies in which the furnace, during the calcining process, over an area comprising a small number of sections, is divided into a preheating zone, a firing zone and a cooling zone, which are together successively moved forwards in the furnace. Further, the invention relates to such a furnace.
  • the purpose of the calcining process is to produce carbon blocks Which are as homogeneous as possible with properties which are suitable for use in, for example, aluminium electrolysis.
  • the carbon blocks are produced in the desired form from a mixture of crushed coke or anthracite and a binding material, for example pitch.
  • Such carbon blocks may have a considerable weight of several tonnes and a length of 1.5 metres or more, depending on whether they are to be used as anode or cathode elements in the electrolysis cells.
  • the carbon Mocks are loaded into in the furnace in deep shafts called cassettes or pits with walls constructed of refractory brick work.
  • the gap between the carbon blocks and the cassette walls is filled with packing material, for example coke, to provide good support (stabilising of) for the carbon blocks.
  • the packing coke serves also to protect the carbon blocks against air bum.
  • cassettes are built next to each other and form a section.
  • the walls between the cassettes are provided with ducts for firing gases and heat is supplied to the carbon blocks by conducting firing gases through these ducts.
  • Each section may be closed-by a section cover.
  • the firing gases from a section are conducted to an adjacent section in the direction of firing via passages arranged in and/or under head walls located between the sections. In this way, the firing gases may be drawn through several sections connected in series in the preheating, firing and cooling zones.
  • the fuels used are oil, gas and binding material. When volatiles from the binding material evaporates and seeps out into the furnace where combustion take place when ignition temperature is achieved. Pitch is used, in particular, as the binding material and the combustion of binding material accounts for up to 40% of the total energy input.
  • the firing gas outlet is moved successively in the direction of firing.
  • a ring section furnace In a ring section furnace, two rows of sections are built next to each other in parallel rows. At the end of one row of sections, the gas ducts are connected to the parallel row of sections. In this way, the sections are connected together to form a ring. This has given such furnaces the above name.
  • the first phase of the heat supply to a section takes place In the preheating zone, where the carbon blocks reach up to approximately 600°C by means of the heat in the firing gases from the last part of the firing zone. Later, in the temperature interval from 600°C to the desired operating temperature of 1200-1300°C, heat must be supplied by the stated combustion of gas, oil and binding material.
  • the firing zone moves in the direction of firing as stated above by moving oil or gas burners from the section in which the firing is completed to the section in which firing is to begin.
  • the time interval for moving the firing gas outlet is called the fire advance.
  • Each section may be connected to a gas extraction system both to remove the combustion gases from the firing zone and to supply oxygen to the firing zone for complete combustion of oil or gas.
  • a gas extraction system both to remove the combustion gases from the firing zone and to supply oxygen to the firing zone for complete combustion of oil or gas.
  • This is done by connecting an exhaust manifold, which may be provided with an adjustment device, to a section in the preheating zone and to an exhaust gas ring main. Air from the surroundings is drawn through and into the firing zone and supplies it with sufficient oxygen and is drawn on through the preheating zone before the gas is transported on via the pipe and the adjustment device to the ring main and a purification system.
  • firing gas ducts in the space below the section while there is free gas conduction in the space between the section lid and the cassettes.
  • the firing gas ducts in the cassette walls connect the space below the section cover with the spaces below the section.
  • the fuel can either be supplied in separate vertical firing shafts in the head walls or fully or partially in the space above and/or below the cassettes, as shown in the applicant's own patent No. 152029 and No. 174364.
  • a section may be divided into two parts by a barrier wall in the space below the cassettes.
  • the firing gases are then conducted up through one half and down through the other half in the ducts of the cassette walls in the direction of firing.
  • a ring furnace is controlled according to the temperature of the gas which flows through the sections.
  • the temperature of the carbon blocks is lower than that of the gas and is a result of the heat transfer conditions in the furnaces.
  • the heat transfer conditions depend primarily on the following factors: the section and cassette dimensions, the dimensions of the carbon blocks, the particle size and degree of packing of the packing coke, the gas quantity and velocity and the extent to which the carbon blocks are centred in the cassettes. A common feature of these factors is that over time they must be as constant as possible so that the difference between the gas temperature and the carbon block temperature is virtually constant.
  • thermal shock i.e. rapid temperature changes in the carbon blocks and refractory structures, which may, over time, cause the formation of cracks and deformations, an increased number of rejected carbon blocks and increased maintenance of the refractory structures.
  • Firing gases which are created in the firing zone will be sucked out from the first section in the preheating zone via the exhaust manifold and will be conducted into the exhaust gas ring main.
  • the consequence of this is that false air is drawn from the open, cold section next to the section where the adjustment device is mounted, and into the preheating zone. In turn, this causes partial cooling down of the preheating zone and a considerable decrease of the gas flow, i.e. from the cooling zone, through the firing zone to the preheating zone.
  • a counterpressure fan is described which is designed to eliminate the intake of false air from the first section before the preheating zone to the first section in the preheating zone.
  • This device takes up a lot of space and requires a lot of energy. It must continually be moved and installed in each section as the zones move successively forwards in the furnace during the calcining process.
  • the counterpressure fan is used, an additional section is required in relation to the present invention. This results in major additional costs for the system and also requires more maintenance.
  • WO 99/08059 describes an inflatable sack for sealing a passage in a flue gas duct in a furnace for baking carbon anodes.
  • the disadvantages of this device are, among other things, that a fan is required to fill the sack with air and to maintain the pressure in the sack. Moreover, such sacks may become leaky and let out air. A consequence of this will be that the sealing quality is reduced.
  • GB-A-2 129 918 discloses an open chamber furnace comprising a blow-pipe for the firing of carbonaceous blocks.
  • the furnace comprises a series of chambers which are delimited by lateral walls which have openings at the top, interconnecting the chambers and which may be sealed by insulation dampers.
  • Each chamber is divided into compartments by hollow heating sections.
  • the compartments are connected to the corresponding literal walls by openings arranged at the top part of their ends.
  • the compartments have openings for communication with one blow pipe enabling combustion air and cooling air to be introduced through said openings or vents.
  • the insulation dampers may either be open or closed in order to include or exclude (respectively) sections of the furnace in the firing process.
  • One aim of the present invention was to arrive at a method and device for controlling false air intake to the preheating zone in a robust, reliable manner, as well as to increase the efficiency of the closed section ring furnace and reduce the quantity of exhaust gas from the furnace. Moreover, the use of dampers in accordance with the present invention will demonstrate advantageous features in connection with the implementation of a firing advance in which the controlled introduction of a new section in the process can be achieved.
  • the method and the furnace according to the invention involve one or more lowerable and risable dampers being mounted in the head-walls, which may be used to control and shut off the flow of gas in a passage between two sections connected in series.
  • the dampers may be used to prevent false air from passing through from the first section before the preheating zone to the first section in the preheating zone.
  • the dampers are preferably made of a light material which must withstand a certain temperature (500°C) and mechanical stress.
  • An damper may cover several individual passages.
  • Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a row of sections in a ring section furnace, in particular three sections K-1, K1 and K2, where K-1 is the first section before the preheating zone and K1 is the first section in the preheating zone. Sections K2 and K1 are closed by section covers 1 and 1'.
  • the damper 4 in the head 2 between sections K-1 and K1 is lowered by means of a connecting device 5 so that it seals the passage between K-1 and K1 and thus prevents false air from passing through.
  • the connecting device 5 may consist of chain, wire, a rod or similar.
  • the connecting device may have markings at its upper end, which makes it possible to read off the extent to which the air damper is closing the passage, i.e. how far down it is.
  • the passage may also comprise a locking device in order to fix it in a desired position.
  • the passage consists of through openings 14, 15 in the lower part of the head wall 2 which communicate with the adjacent section.
  • the adjustment device 3 in section K1 is connected to a pipe connection (exhaust manifold) (not shown) and draws combustion air through the cooling zone and on through the firing zone, where it is combusted together with the fuel (not shown). The combustion gases created in the firing zone are then drawn through the preheating zone consisting of sections K2, K1 and are transferred to a exhaust gas ring main.
  • Fig. 2A shows, in perspective, a part 2' of a head wall with gas passage 15 at its lower end.
  • Fig. 2B shows, in perspective, a part of head wall 2 with a lowered damper 4.
  • the connecting device 5 is fixed to the damper 4 by means of a fixing device 6 and the damper 4 is lowered in a pocket 7 which extends down to the base of the head wall. See also Fig. 2C.
  • the pocket 7 may be part of a firing shaft 8 in the head wall 2.
  • the pocket 7 is at the top equipped with an opening 12 through which the damper 4 may be introduced.
  • the opening 12 has a cutout 9 through which the connecting device 5 may be passed, thus ensuring that the damper 4 is lowered in such a way that it is in the correct position against the head wall 2.
  • the opening 12 may be covered by a lid 11 that seals against air leakages from the ambient air and is further provided with means for securing the connecting device in a chosen position.
  • Two blocks 10 are markers in the pocket 7 and function as guides to ensure the damper 4 is in position. When the damper 4 has been lowered, it is kept in place by the pressure difference between section K-1 and section K1, which sucks the damper against the head wall 2 to form a seal and prevents false air leakage from section K-1 to section K1.
  • the blocks 10 prevent the damper 4 to move too far away from the passage(s) and ensure that the vacuum is able to suck it into sealing contact.
  • a lid (not shown) may be used to close the opening to the pocket 7 in the sections which are connected to avoid false air being drawn down through the pocket 7.
  • damper 4 leads to the false air intake of the adjustment device 3 from section K-1 to section K1 being controllable, which results in more optimal combustion and the achievement of stable operating conditions in connection with fire advance.
  • damper 4 in accordance with the present invention may also enhance the efficiency of the operation of the furnace.
  • the furnace may be constructed with fewer sections.
  • this advantage may be utilised in that blocks may be Jeft to cool for a longer period of time.
  • the damper 4 is preferably made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy and is preferably ⁇ 3 mm thick.
  • the damper 4 should have a certain flexibility so that it can adapt to the contact surface.
  • the temperature may, in some cases, become so high that it may be advantageous to let in some false air to lower it.
  • the dampers are removed completely from the head walls which form part of the sections used during the calcining process as otherwise they might melt on account of the high temperature. If dampers made from refractory material were used, it would not be necessary to remove the dampers completely. They would just have to be pulled up high enough in the head wall so that they did not disturb the gas transport through the passages. The operating temperature in the head walls may exceed 1400°C and the dampers would therefore have to be made of a refractory material which could withstand this temperature.
  • All head walls which form part of the furnace should be adapted to receive dampers for closing the passages between the sections.
  • a column/duct system for example in the lower part of the head wall, is thus arranged in such a way that all gas must pass through the area where the damper(s) is(are) located.
  • damper 4' between section K-1 and section K-2 (only partially shown in Fig. 1) will be used. Moreover, a section cover equivalent to section cover 1' is to be placed on section K-1 (not shown).
  • an adjustment device 3' is connected to section cover 1' placed on section K-1, while damper 4 is gradually lifted so that gas is allowed to flow between section K1 and section K-1.
  • damper 4' is lowered into position so that false air is prevented from flowing from section K-2 to section K-1.
  • the last section which is being cooled, is removed from the circuit (not shown).
  • This method provides good, reliable control of the firing advance. When using prior art solutions, this operation may involve a certain degree of variable gas flow in the sections in the process.
  • the pockets 7 in the head walls 2 and the mounting of the dampers 4 to seal the passages in the head walls may be designed so that the direction of firing in the furnace may be reversed without significant conversion.
  • the dampers 4 in the pockets 7 may be moved in the direction of flow of the gas to seal the passages 14 in the head walls.
  • they may be moved sideways and cover equivalent passages 15 in the head walls 2 by changing the direction of firing. The advantage of being able to reverse the direction of firing is that variable load on the brick work may be evened out and the life of the furnace may be extended.
