Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of combustion device technology for alkali recovery boilers, specifically to a strong swirling side-jet black liquor spray gun for alkali furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, black liquor pollution is the most serious problem in the alkali pulping and papermaking industry, and alkali recovery technology is the most effective method for treating it. The process involves first concentrating the black liquor, then spraying it through a black liquor spray gun into an alkali recovery boiler for further drying and combustion. The concentrated black liquor is sprayed into the boiler and dried to a moisture content of 10-15%, then falls onto the boiler pad and burns, undergoing a reduction reaction to produce molten material from which usable alkali is recovered. The heat generated from the combustion of organic matter is absorbed by the boiler and converted into high-pressure steam. To establish stable operating conditions, the black liquor needs to be evenly distributed within the furnace and thoroughly dried to create conditions conducive to combustion on the boiler pad.
[0003] Theoretically, it is desirable for black liquor spray guns to atomize black liquor and extend the residence time of droplets during downward movement. There are two types of black liquor spray guns in the existing technology. The first is the commonly used reflector-type black liquor spray gun, in which black liquor flows out of the gun barrel at high speed, hits the reflector plate and disperses it, and the droplets gain horizontal kinetic energy to produce a projectile effect. Then, under the action of gravity, they fall in a parabolic trajectory. If it is possible to achieve a parabolic and spiral combined motion of droplets, and further extend the droplet fall time, improvements need to be made to the reflector-type black liquor spray gun. Secondly, there is the commonly used vortex-type black liquor lance. Black liquor enters the vortex generator at high speed from the lance barrel, generating rotational kinetic energy. Droplets are ejected from the bottom of the vortex generator at a certain cone angle downwards. The droplets are atomized and spiral downwards, lengthening their trajectory and prolonging the time it takes for them to reach the bottom. However, as the droplets are ejected downwards from the bottom of the vortex generator, more than half of them gain downward kinetic energy, which further accelerates their downward movement, causing some droplets to reach the bottom too quickly. To achieve a horizontal spiral ejection of the droplets, resulting in a parabolic and spiral combined motion upon descent, improvements to the vortex-type black liquor lance are necessary. Furthermore, regardless of whether it's a reflective or vortex-type black liquor lance, there is a risk of spraying black liquor onto the furnace wall if not handled carefully. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new strong vortex side-jet black liquor lance for alkali furnaces to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0029] In this embodiment, the black liquor enters the hydrocyclone tangentially through the conduit, generating a strong rotation and spiraling downwards. As the spiraling black liquor passes through the lateral opening at the bottom of the hydrocyclone, it produces a horizontal atomization and diffusion effect. The droplets can achieve a parabolic and spiral combined motion, which helps to prolong their falling trajectory and falling time in the furnace, and is beneficial to the complete drying and combustion of the black liquor droplets. There are no other parts inside the cyclone generator cavity, which can effectively avoid clogging in the cavity of the black liquor spray gun. The present invention has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.
[0030] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the vortex generator includes a left-handed vortex generator structure 4 and a right-handed vortex generator structure 5. When the vortex generator rotates to the left, it is a left-handed vortex generator structure 4, and when the vortex generator rotates to the right, it is a right-handed vortex generator structure 5.
[0031] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the end of the barrel 3 is obliquely intersecting the axis of the left-handed vortex generator structure 4 by 0 to 30 degrees. The outer circumference of the left-handed vortex generator structure 4 is provided with a first protrusion 4d tangent to it. The end face of the first protrusion 4d is obliquely intersecting the axis of the left-handed vortex generator structure 4 by 0 to 30 degrees. The barrel 3 and the left-handed vortex generator structure 4 are connected by a fillet weld 7. The left-handed vortex generator structure 4 has a first cylindrical cavity 4a inside. The end face of the first protrusion 4d on the side of the flow generator structure 4 has a first oval hole tangent to the inner cavity 4b. The upper end of the left-handed swirling flow generator structure 4 is a closed structure, and the lower end has a first notch 4c on the side. The lower end of the left-handed swirling flow generator structure 4 is equipped with a first guide plate 4e, and is connected to the first guide plate 4e by a third corner weld 8. The first guide plate 4e is fan-shaped and corresponds to the first notch 4c on the lower side of the left-handed swirling flow generator structure 4.
[0032] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 4-6As shown, the barrel 3 is obliquely intersecting the axis of the right-hand vortex generator structure 5 by 0 to 30 degrees.

The upper end of the right-hand swirling generator structure 5 is a closed structure, and the lower end has a second notch 5c on the side. The lower end of the right-hand swirling generator structure 5 is equipped with a second guide plate 5e, and is connected to the second guide plate 5e by a third corner weld 8.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, taking the left-handed black liquor spray gun of the left-handed vortex generator structure 4 as an example, the process includes the following:
[0034] S1: Connect and fix the strong swirling side-jet black liquor spray gun of the alkali furnace to the main pipe through quick threaded connector 1 and sealing gasket.
[0035] S2: The black liquid is injected tangentially into the first cylindrical cavity 4a inside the left-hand side of the vortex generator through the gun barrel 3 at an incident angle of 0-30 degrees. The black liquid generates a strong left-hand side vortex inside the first cylindrical cavity 4a inside the left-hand side of the vortex generator and moves downward to the upper surface of the first guide plate 4e.
[0036] S3: When the black liquid moving downwards spirals through the first notch 4c on the left-hand side of the vortex generator and the upper surface of the first guide plate 4e, the black liquid will generate a horizontal fan-shaped jet under the action of centrifugal force, and the droplets have horizontal and spiral kinetic energy.
[0037] S4: The droplets have both horizontal and spiral kinetic energy, which helps to prolong the droplet's falling trajectory and falling time in the furnace, and is conducive to the complete drying and combustion of the droplets;
[0038] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the first notch 4c is a variable structure, and the opening direction, opening length and opening height of the first notch 4c can be changed.
[0039] In this embodiment, changing the opening direction of the first notch 4c can affect the general direction of the fan-shaped area of the black liquor after it is sprayed from the black liquor spray gun; changing the opening length of the first notch 4c can affect the width of the fan-shaped area of the black liquor after it is sprayed from the black liquor spray gun; changing the opening height of the first notch 4c can affect the flow rate, spray distance and atomization effect of the black liquor sprayed from the black liquor spray gun. By controlling the height, size and opening direction of the lateral opening below the left-hand vortex generator 4, the black liquor spreading angle, flow rate and intensity can be controlled, which can effectively prevent the black liquor from hitting the furnace wall.
[0040] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the second notch 5c is a variable structure, and the opening direction, opening length and opening height of the second notch 5c can be changed.
[0041] In this embodiment, changing the opening direction of the second notch 5c can affect the general direction of the fan-shaped area of the black liquor after it is sprayed from the black liquor spray gun; changing the opening length of the second notch 5c can affect the width of the fan-shaped area of the black liquor after it is sprayed from the black liquor spray gun; changing the opening height of the second notch 5c can affect the flow rate, spray distance and atomization effect of the black liquor sprayed from the black liquor spray gun; by controlling the height, size and opening direction of the lateral opening below the right-hand vortex generator 5, the black liquor spreading angle, flow rate and intensity can be controlled, which can effectively prevent the black liquor from hitting the furnace wall.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, the materials of the black liquor spray gun quick threaded connector 1, pipe connector 2, gun barrel 3, left-hand vortex generator structure 4, right-hand vortex generator structure 5, first guide plate 4e, and second guide plate 5e are at least one of austenitic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, and nickel-based alloy.
[0043] In this embodiment, since the black liquor spray gun is located inside the alkali furnace, where the ambient temperature is nearly 1000 degrees Celsius, and the black liquor contains highly corrosive substances and extremely high chloride ion concentrations, the materials selected for the black liquor spray gun quick-threaded connector 1, pipe connector 2, gun barrel 3, left-handed vortex generator structure 4, right-handed vortex generator structure 5, first guide plate 4e, and second guide plate 5e are materials resistant to high temperatures, highly corrosive substances, and extremely high chloride ion corrosion. The selectable materials, ranked from lowest to highest corrosion resistance, are: austenitic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, etc. With the improvement of the high-temperature corrosion resistance of the selected materials, the service life will also increase accordingly. Nickel-based materials are used for overlay welding on the front end of the gun barrel 3, the outer surface of the left-hand vortex generator structure 4, the outer surface of the right-hand vortex generator structure 5, the first guide plate 4e, and the outer surface of the second guide plate 5e, so that the surface nickel content reaches more than 55%, which improves the resistance of the black liquor spray gun tip to high temperature and strong alkali corrosion. The stainless steel and nickel-based materials used need to undergo solution heat treatment to achieve the best resistance to strong corrosive substances and ultra-high chloride ion corrosion performance.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
