Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tunnel kiln equipment, and particularly to a tunnel kiln based on high-temperature air combustion. Background Art

[0002] A tunnel kiln is a thermal equipment for continuous countercurrent production, commonly used for sintering products such as bricks, tiles, ceramics, refractory materials, etc. It has the advantages of high mechanization and automation levels, large output, high production efficiency, high thermal efficiency, etc. Along the length direction, according to different functions of the tunnel kiln, it can be divided into a preheating zone, a firing zone, and a cooling zone. Green blanks are stacked on kiln cars and pushed into the kiln from the kiln head. First, they are preheated in the preheating zone, enter the firing zone to reach the highest firing temperature and be kept at a certain temperature for sintering the products, and then are cooled in the cooling zone to a low temperature and then pushed out from the kiln tail. The cold air introduced into the cooling zone exchanges heat with the products and then the temperature rises. Part of the excess hot air is extracted for drying, and the other part reaches the firing zone to further participate in combustion; the high-temperature flue gas in the firing zone flows towards the preheating zone, exchanges heat with the products, the flue gas temperature decreases, and is discharged through the smoke exhaust system near the kiln head.

[0003] Therefore, continuously burned products are fully heat-exchanged with the gas in the kiln. For intermittent kilns, due to the difficulty of directly using the waste heat during the intermittent production process, the energy consumption is high and the thermal efficiency is low. For example, Chinese Patent CN201820696670.5 discloses an energy-saving and environment-friendly crucible kiln. There are two sets of regenerative burners symmetrically arranged on both sides of the kiln wall of the furnace body. The two burners are respectively in the heat storage and heat release states, work alternately, and take turns to act as the roles of combustion and smoke exhaust, with relatively high energy consumption.

[0004] However, the current tunnel kilns have a low utilization efficiency of waste heat. The regenerative combustion technology adopted to achieve high-temperature air combustion is to preheat the regenerator with the high-temperature flue gas in the kiln, and then exchange the heat to the combustion-supporting air. Because the sensible heat brought by the combustion-supporting air is low, the heat is mainly provided by fuel, resulting in high energy consumption. For example, Chinese Invention Patent CN 202110815345.2 discloses a regenerative tunnel kiln with flue gas reflux and high-temperature section smoke exhaust and a roasting process, which also heats the combustion-supporting air by a regenerative heat exchanger with the high-temperature flue gas in the roasting section.

[0038] As Figure 1 and 2 shown, each section of the kiln body includes a kiln roof in the middle, two kiln walls 1 on both sides of the kiln roof, and a kiln bottom at the bottom.

[0039] Kiln roof structure:

[0040] Continuing as Figure 2 shown, the kiln roofs of the low-temperature section T301 of the cooling zone and the preheating zone T1 are three-centered arch roof structures. Specifically, the three-centered arch roof structure includes two layers of arch roofs 2 that are fitted together. Each layer of the arch roof 2 includes a middle arch and two side arches arranged on both sides of the middle arch. As described in this embodiment, the central angle of the middle arch is 60°, and the central angles of the side arches are also 60°. The radius R2 of the middle arch is 1500 - 2500 mm, and the radii R1 and R3 of the side arches are both 200 - 400 mm.

[0041] And the kiln roof of the firing zone T2 is a three-centered double-layer arch roof structure as Figure 3 shown, and at the same time, the kiln roof of the medium-temperature section T302 of the cooling zone is as Figure 4The shown three-centered double-layer vault structure, and an air interlayer 3 is provided inside the three-centered double-layer vault structure.

[0042] The air interlayer 3 is located in the firing zone T2 interval and the medium-temperature section T302 interval during the operation of the cooling zone. As in this embodiment, the area where the air interlayer 3 is located in the medium-temperature section T302 of the cooling zone is the interval of 650°C to 1000°C during the operation of the cooling zone T3, so as to ensure that the air interlayer 3 is located in a region with a higher temperature to improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0043] A hot air channel is provided above the air interlayer of the kiln roof in the medium-temperature section T302 of the cooling zone and the firing zone T2, which connects the air interlayer 3 in the medium-temperature section T302 region of the cooling zone and the air interlayer 3 in the firing zone T2 region, so as to suck the air in the air interlayer 3 in the medium-temperature section T302 region of the cooling zone to the firing zone T2 region.

[0045] The kiln wall in the medium-temperature section T302 of the cooling zone is provided with cold air suction openings 17, and an air inlet channel 19 is provided between the cold air suction openings 17 and the air interlayer 3, so that cold air enters the medium-temperature zone T302 region of the air interlayer 3 in the cooling zone. As Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, the cold air suction openings 17 are specifically arranged at the lower part of the kiln wall 1 of the cooling zone, and an air inlet channel 19 is provided between the cold air suction openings 17 and the air interlayer 3. As in this embodiment, the air inlet channel 19 is a vertical channel and communicates with the air interlayer 3. A shutter 18 can also be installed at the cold air suction openings 17 for adjusting the air suction volume of the air inlet channel 19.

[0046] Regarding the number of the cold air suction openings 17, it can be flexibly set to multiple pairs according to the actual application scenario, such as 3 to 5 pairs. Each pair of the cold air suction openings 17 is symmetrically arranged on the two kiln walls 1 of the cooling zone, and the multiple cold air suction openings 17 on one kiln wall 1 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the kiln wall 1.

[0047] The kiln wall of the firing zone T2 is provided with a plurality of high-temperature air combustion components. As Figure 3 and 6 shown, the function of the high-temperature air combustion components is to burn fuel to heat the blanks on the kiln car. The number of the high-temperature air combustion components can be set to multiple pairs according to actual needs, such as 9 - 30 pairs. Each pair of the high-temperature air combustion components is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the firing zone. 1 - 2 pairs are arranged at the parking space A of each kiln car.

[0048] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, each of the high-temperature air combustion components includes an injector 20, an air supply channel, and a burner 21. The injector 20 is used to input the preheated combustion-supporting air in the air interlayer 3 of the firing zone into the burner 21 via the air supply channel. The injector 20 includes an air inlet channel 4 and an air suction channel 11. The air inlet channel 4 and the air suction channel 11 are both vertically arranged in the kiln wall 1 of the firing zone and are coaxially arranged.

[0049] The air inlet channel 4 includes a Laval nozzle 7 and an air inlet nozzle 6. The air inlet nozzle 6 is vertically arranged in the kiln wall 1 of the firing zone. The upper end of the air inlet nozzle 6 extends out of the kiln wall 1 of the firing zone and is connected to an external gas pipeline. Normal temperature air is input into the Laval nozzle 7 from the air inlet nozzle 6.

[0050] The lower end of the Laval nozzle 7 is arranged opposite to the upper end of the air suction channel 11. The Laval nozzle 7 includes a nozzle 8 and a working fluid channel 9 connected to the lower end of the nozzle 8. The diameter of the nozzle 8 gradually increases from bottom to top, and the diameter of the working fluid channel 9 gradually increases from top to bottom. The upper end of the nozzle 8 is connected to the lower end of the air inlet nozzle 6, and the lower end of the working fluid channel 9 extends into the air interlayer 3. Here, the air interlayer 3 is provided with an ejector fluid channel 10 extending below the working fluid channel 9.

[0051] The air suction channel 11 includes a Venturi channel. The Venturi channel includes a mixing chamber 12, a throat channel 13, and a diffuser chamber 14 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The diameter of the mixing chamber 12 gradually increases from bottom to top. The throat channel 13 is a straight pipe section. The diameter of the diffuser chamber 14 gradually increases from top to bottom. The upper end of the mixing chamber 12 extends into the air interlayer 3 and is arranged opposite to the lower end of the working fluid channel 9. Preferably, the diameter of the upper end of the Venturi channel is larger than the diameter of the lower end of the Laval nozzle 7.

[0052] The air supply channel connects the lower end of the diffusion chamber 14 and the burner 21, so as to convey preheated combustion-supporting air to the burner 21. Specifically, the air supply channel includes a vertical air supply channel 15, a horizontal air supply channel 16, and two extended air supply channels 22. The upper end of the vertical air supply channel 15 is connected to the lower end of the diffusion chamber 14, and the lower end is connected to the horizontal air supply channel 16. The horizontal air supply channel 15 is arranged along the length direction of the firing zone T2.

[0053] As Figure 8 and 9 shown, the burner 21 crosses the kiln wall of the firing zone T2 and is arranged at the same height as the table plane L of the kiln car. The burner 21 includes an inner channel 23, an outer channel 24 arranged around the inner channel 23, and a plurality of combustion-supporting hot air supply channels 25. The inner channel 23 is used for inputting air, the outer channel 24 is used for inputting fuel, and each combustion-supporting hot air supply channel 25 is connected to the extended air supply channel 22 of the air supply channel. As in this embodiment, the number of the combustion-supporting hot air supply channels 25 is four, which are evenly distributed around the axis of the burner 21. The rear end of each combustion-supporting hot air supply channel 25 is the air inlet end, and the preheated combustion-supporting air enters from the rear end of the combustion-supporting hot air supply channel 25.

[0054] As Figure 6 and 8 shown, the burner 21 vertically penetrates the horizontal air supply channel 16, so that the rear ends of some combustion-supporting hot air supply channels 25 extend into the horizontal air supply channel 16. As in this embodiment, the rear ends of the two horizontal combustion-supporting hot air supply channels 25 directly extend into the horizontal air supply channel 16. The two extended air supply channels 22 respectively extend along the upper and lower sides of the burner 21 and communicate with the horizontal air supply channel 16. The rear ends of the other part of the combustion-supporting hot air supply channels 25 respectively extend into the two extended air supply channels 22. As in this embodiment, the rear end of one combustion-supporting hot air supply channel 25 located above directly extends into the upper extended air supply channel 22, and the rear end of one combustion-supporting hot air supply channel 25 located below directly extends into the lower extended air supply channel 22.

[0055] The preheated combustion-supporting air flows into the horizontal air supply channel 16 through the vertical air supply channel 15. When the preheated combustion-supporting air flows in the horizontal air supply channel 16 to the burner, the preheated combustion-supporting air is respectively shunted upward and downward along the two extended air supply channels 22, so that the preheated combustion-supporting air can surround the burner 21. Furthermore, the preheated combustion-supporting air can flow into along the rear ends of the combustion-supporting hot air supply channels 25 and flow out along the front ends of the combustion-supporting hot air supply channels 25 and uniformly enter the burner 21.

[0056] As Figure 8 and 9As shown, the burner 21 further includes a mixing channel, which includes a conical channel 26 and a horizontal channel 27. One end with a smaller diameter of the conical channel 26 is respectively connected to the inner channel 23, the outer channel 24 and each of the combustion-supporting hot air supply channels 25. One end with a larger diameter of the conical channel 26 is connected to one end of the horizontal channel 27, and the other end of the horizontal channel 27 extends to the inner side of the firing zone.

[0057] The kiln wall of the cooling zone T3 is provided with a cooling air channel and an excess hot air extraction channel. The external cooling air system S6 is connected to the cooling air channel to introduce cold air into the kiln; the external excess hot air extraction system S7 is connected to the excess hot air extraction channel to extract the hot air in the kiln, accelerating the cooling of the fired products in the cooling zone T.

[0058] When the above-mentioned tunnel kiln based on high-temperature air combustion works:

[0059] The primary combustion-supporting cold air system S1 is connected to each cold air suction port 17. The primary combustion-supporting cold air system S1 extracts the external cold air and enters the air interlayer 3 through the cold air suction port 17 of the cooling zone T3. After the air enters the cooling zone, it is preliminarily heated by the waste heat in the cooling zone to form preheated air.

[0060] The combustion-supporting hot air extraction and supply system S2 is connected to the hot air channel. The preheated air is extracted to the air interlayer 3 in the firing zone and then is secondary-heated by the air interlayer 3, forming preheated combustion-supporting air in the area of the air interlayer 3 located in the firing zone. In this way, the temperature of the kiln roof in the firing zone is higher, and the temperature of the preheated combustion-supporting air is also higher, up to 800 - 1400 °C; at the same time, the waste heat recovery and utilization efficiency of the tunnel kiln can be improved, making it more energy-saving.

[0061] The fuel combustion system S3 is connected to the upper ends of the intake nozzles 6 of each of the high-temperature air combustion components to input air. The normal-temperature air input into the Laval nozzle 7 through the intake nozzle 6 is accelerated by the Laval nozzle 7 and then enters the air suction channel 11, and the preheated combustion-supporting air in the air interlayer in the firing zone is sucked into the air suction channel 11. The air suction channel 11 is of a Venturi structure to further increase the flow rate of the fluid, so that the preheated combustion-supporting air has sufficient power.

[0062] Subsequently, the preheated combustion-supporting air is input into the burner 21 along the vertical air supply channel 15, the horizontal air supply channel 16, and the two extended air supply channels. The preheated combustion-supporting air is respectively input into the conical channel 26 through the hot combustion-supporting air supply channel 25, the normal-temperature air is input into the conical channel 26 through the inner channel 23, and the fuel is input into the conical channel 26 through the outer channel 24. A large amount of preheated combustion-supporting air, a small amount of normal-temperature air, and the fuel are mixed in the conical channel 26 and then enter the interior of the firing zone through the horizontal channel 27 to achieve high-temperature air combustion. The proportion of the preheated combustion-supporting air in the combustion air can be as high as 80%.

[0063] Bottom structure of the kiln:

[0064] A hot air extraction channel is provided at the bottom of the kiln in the low-temperature section T101 of the preheating zone. Specifically, the hot air extraction channel is provided at 1 to 2 vehicle positions near the medium-temperature section 102 in the low-temperature section 101 of the preheating zone. The hot air extraction channel includes a vertical hot air extraction channel and a horizontal hot air extraction channel. Both the vertical hot air extraction channel and the horizontal hot air extraction channel are provided with a plurality of upward hot air extraction openings, and each hot air extraction opening is flush with the lower plane of the track in the kiln. The external bottom hot air extraction system S4 is connected to the hot air extraction channel, and the hot air is sent to other places that need heating, such as a drying kiln, through the hot air extraction channel, so as to better save energy and reduce costs.

[0065] A cold air supply channel is provided at the bottom of the kiln in the firing zone T2. The cold air supply channel is provided at 3 to 5 vehicle positions near the medium-temperature section of the cooling zone in the firing zone T2. The cold air supply channel includes a vertical cold air supply channel and a horizontal cold air supply channel. Both the vertical cold air supply channel and the horizontal cold air supply channel are provided with a plurality of upward cold air supply openings, and each cold air supply opening is flush with the lower plane of the track in the kiln. The external bottom air supply system S5 is connected to the cold air supply channel, and cold air is conveyed to the bottom of the kiln car through the cold air supply channel to cool the kiln car and ensure that the temperature at the bottom of the kiln does not become too high.
