Definitions

  • the invention relates to a centrifugal separator with a housing forming at least one swirl chamber with at least one tangential inlet, with a lower discharge in the installation position for the heavy components deposited in the centrifugal field and with a discharge passing through a housing cover in relation to the installation position, which discharges into the Housing extending dip tube includes.
  • the invention relates to a recycle cyclone for the bed material of a fluidized bed boiler or a fluidized bed combustor or a fluidized bed gasifier.
  • centrifugal separators include a dip tube extending into the housing of the centrifugal separator.
  • the immersion tube must be installed as smoke-tight as possible in the housing covering a refractory lining in order to avoid short-circuit currents.
  • This dip tube is constantly exposed to process temperatures of up to 900 ° C. This is usually made of scale-resistant sheet steel.
  • the dip tube is passed through the housing cover and circumferentially sealed with fiber insulation.
  • the dip tube of a known construction for example suspended in a jacket tube connected to the housing cover, such that the weight of the dip tube is taken up exclusively by the jacket tube.
  • the dip tube is enclosed because of its passage through the housing cover over its entire circumference of the refractory lining of the housing cover.
  • the circulating ashes from the fluidized bed combustion settle in the design-related gaps and cavities between the dip tube and the housing cover. Due to temperature changes and different thermal expansions of dip tube on the one hand and housing cover on the other hand, it often comes to high pressure forces on the dip tube.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve a centrifugal separator of the type mentioned in that its life, in particular the service life of the dip tube is increased.
  • centrifugal separator with a housing forming at least one vortex chamber, with at least one tangential inlet, with a lower discharge in the installation position for the heavy components deposited in the centrifugal field and with a discharge passing through a housing cover in relation to the installation position, which discharge includes immersion tube extending into the housing, wherein the centrifugal separator according to the invention is characterized in that the dip tube is connected to the vortex chamber facing side of the housing cover.
  • the immersion tube is circumferentially kept free of forces that are due to the different thermal expansions of refractory material on the one hand and steel on the other hand.
  • the immersion tube is suspended on a support ring connected to the side of the housing cover facing away from the vortex chamber, with the housing cover being interposed. In this way it is ensured that the housing cover does not have to absorb the weight of the dip tube.
  • the dip tube is sealed frontally against the vortex chamber facing side of the cyclone ceiling.
  • the construction of the invention ensures a minimization of the direct contact of steel and refractory lining and a simple and better seal.
  • the construction in particular prepares no expansion problems.
  • the dip tube is cylindrical and is provided with an annular connecting flange which is concentric with the longitudinal axis of the dip tube.
  • Such a dip tube is structurally particularly simple and can be exchanged particularly easily due to its cylindrical configuration.
  • the support ring is connected to a jacket tube of the upper discharge so that the jacket tube receives the weight of the dip tube. It is expedient if the support ring is arranged eccentrically with respect to the jacket tube, so that the inlet bevel is formed in the region of the transition between the jacket tube and dip tube in the jacket tube and thus in the mortared refractory region.
  • the support ring is provided with radially extending slots with which a thermal expansion in the circumferential direction of the support ring is collected.
  • the tie rods are secured at least against the support ring and against the connecting flange of the dip tube with wedges. This wedging of the tie rods ensures a simple even with longer life Replacing the dip tube. Such wedging is hardly susceptible to increased temperature effects and hot changes.
  • the tie rods pass through bores of the support ring and / or the housing cover and / or the connecting flange, whose diameter is significantly larger than the diameter of the tie rods.
  • the dip tube is composed of several pipe sections of different steel grades is particularly advantageous.
  • a pipe shot with a steel quality of increased heat resistance can be used, then steel grades of lower heat resistance can subsequently be used in the direction of gravity.
  • FIG. 1 A schematic view of the centrifugal separator 1 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 1 shown.
  • the centrifugal separator 1 according to the described embodiment is designed as a recycling cyclone for the bed material of a fluidized bed combustion. This comprises a housing 2 with a tangential inlet 3 and a lower position 4 in the installation position for the bed material discharged from the centrifugal field of the swirl chamber 5 formed by the housing 2.
  • the vortex chamber 5 is bounded at its upper end in the installed position by a housing cover 6.
  • the housing cover 6 and the majority of the housing 2 are provided inside with a refractory lining 7.
  • a second discharge 8 for the purified exhaust gas passes through the housing cover 6 approximately centrally, wherein the second discharge 8 in a known manner comprises a dip tube 9 which projects into the vortex chamber 5.
  • the dip tube 9 is composed of several pipe sections 10 and provided on its housing cover 6 facing side with an annular connecting flange 11, which is braced with the interposition of a prestressed mineral seal against the swirl chamber 5 facing side of the housing cover 6.
  • the connecting flange 11 is provided over its entire circumference with a plurality of holes 12 through which the dip tube 9 is attached via tie rods 13 against the housing cover 6.
  • a circular opening 14 is provided, whose diameter corresponds approximately to the inner diameter of the dip tube 9 and on the periphery of which bores 15 for receiving the tie rods 13 are also provided.
  • the tie rods 13 are supported on the side facing away from the vortex chamber 5 of the housing cover 6 on a support ring 16, which in turn is firmly connected to the jacket tube 17 of the second discharge 8 and is part of the jacket tube 17.
  • the tie rods 13 are respectively wedged or braced on both sides of the housing cover 6 via wedges 18 and washers 19. In this way, the dip tube 9 is suspended through the housing cover 6 through the support ring 16 on the casing tube 17, as shown schematically in FIG FIG. 3 is shown.
  • FIG. 3 shows the arrangement without the provided therebetween housing cover 6 and without a refractory or mortar delivery.
  • the jacket tube 17 and the support ring 16 are also provided with a refractory lining 7, in such a way that the transition from the jacket tube 17 is designed in the dip tube 9 as a partial conical or oblique inlet.
  • the upper outer edge of the support ring 16 in installation position is arranged eccentrically with respect to the lower inner edge in the installation position, so that a funnel-shaped bevel 20 results in the transition region defined by the support ring 16 of the casing tube 17 in the dip tube 9.
  • the support ring 16 forms in cross section an approximately L-shaped profile with a first leg 21 which extends approximately parallel to the connecting flange and a second leg 22 which extends perpendicular thereto.
  • the second leg 22 extends parallel to the lateral surface of the jacket tube 17.
  • the first leg 21 and the second leg 22 of the support ring profile are connected to each other via gusset plates 23.
  • the gusset plates 23 are welded into the support ring profile.
  • the connection flange 11 of the dip tube 9 is reinforced with gusset plates 23.
  • the diameter of the bores 12 in the connection flange 11 is dimensioned significantly larger than the diameter of the tie rods 13.
  • FIG. 4 is parallel to the connecting flange 11 extending first leg 21 of the support ring 16 with approximately radially with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the dip tube 9 extending relief slots 24 provided that prevent any build-up of tension in the circumferential direction of the support ring.
