Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gas delivery system, in particular to a gas supply and distribution system based on low-calorific value gas generator and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a low-calorific value gas generator (such as a coal gasification furnace or a biomass gasification furnace using air as a catalyst) direct gas combustion system, due to the low calorific value and small pressure of the gas, the gas flow per unit time through the valve is large, so the valve diameter used in the gas supply and distribution system is generally large. However, the cost of commonly used large-diameter gate valves and butterfly valves is high, and the cost will be multiplied by every 50mm increase in the diameter of DN300 or more. Meanwhile, the difficulty and cost of making a three-way valve are also multiplied, and since the valve diameter is too large, the opening and closing power and structural strength of the valve are required to be higher, and it is more likely to be stuck due to tar bonding, which leads to difficulty in opening and causes operation and safety accidents.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a gas supply and distribution system with high reliability and a reasonable control method to improve the operation stability and safety of the existing low-calorific value gas generator gas supply and distribution system. SUMMARY

[0009] Preferably, the connection between the auxiliary valve body and the actuator is fixed by a flange.

[0010] Preferably, the gas generator comprises a hopper, and the hopper is connected to the gas generator by a feeder.

[0011] The application also discloses a control method of the gas supply and distribution system, comprising the following steps.

[0012] The central control system receives the gas demand signal of the gas combustion system, and first detects the temperature signal and the pressure signal of the gas, monitors the gas temperature, the gas pressure and the oxygen content of the gas.

[0013] When the gas temperature, the gas pressure and the oxygen content of the gas all meet the standards, the central control system outputs an opening signal to the three-way valve, slowly opens the three-way valve, supplies the gas to the gas combustion system through the gas outlet A, and simultaneously makes the gas outlet B connected to the venting pipe of the three-way valve gradually close, so that the gas supply and distribution system is switched from the venting state to the complete combustion application state.

[0014] When the flame monitoring signal of the gas combustion system is normal, the central control system outputs a starting instruction to the booster fan, and the booster fan starts and the rotating speed gradually increases from 0 to a set lower limit rotating speed.

[0015] When the load of the heat exchange furnace changes, the gas generator is adjusted according to the corresponding load, and the central control system outputs a corresponding control signal to adjust the rotating speed of the booster fan, so that the rotating speed of the fan is adapted to the gas demand of the gas combustion system.

[0016] Preferably, the gas temperature is controlled at 100-200 DEG C in the case of suitable gas supply, the gas pressure is controlled at 1000-2000 Pa in the case of suitable gas supply, and the oxygen content of the gas is controlled at ≤3.5% according to the oxygen signal detected by the oxygen content meter.

[0018] Preferably, the time consumed by the process of opening the three-way valve to fully open the gas outlet A is controlled at 8-10 s.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The present application adopts a new type of piston large-diameter three-way valve, which can realize mechanical linkage and interlocking of gas supply and venting, and the opening speed of the valve can be adjusted, which is beneficial to the safe operation of ignition combustion and ensures the safe and stable operation condition; the gas supply flow regulation is more accurate by the gas supply of the booster fan; when power failure occurs, the gas supply system can automatically stop gas supply, automatically stop the combustion in the furnace, and synchronously open the gas venting channel, ignite and burn in the air, which avoids the risk of system gas pressure soaring and ensures the safety of the system; the collection of multiple induction signals greatly improves the reliability of automatic control; the present application effectively solves the contradiction problem of stable combustion of low-pressure and low-calorific value gas large-flow distribution to the gas combustion system.
