Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of waste gas treatment, and relates to a regenerative incineration device, in particular to an annular regenerative incineration device with replaceable regenerators. BACKGROUND

[0002] RTO is currently recognized as the most efficient VOCs treatment technology, which mainly completely oxidizes and decomposes VOCs in a high-temperature (>750℃) environment in a furnace. The heat in the furnace is recovered through the regenerative ceramic of the RTO, so as to ensure long-term stable and low-energy-consumption operation of the RTO. The heat recovery efficiency of the general RTO is ≥90%, and the VOCs purification efficiency is ≥98%.

[0003] The actual VOCs waste gas composition is extremely complex. For example, a large amount of organosilicon substances are used in the semiconductor industry or the coating industry, and under high-temperature conditions, the oxidation and decomposition products are not only water and carbon dioxide, but also silicon dioxide. The RTO regenerative ceramic currently widely used is an aluminum silicate ceramic, which contains a large amount of silicon dioxide. Under high-temperature conditions, the regenerative ceramic with similar properties will be firmly combined with the silicon dioxide produced by gas decomposition in the form of a chemical bond, that is, the oxidation product dioxide uses part of the sites on the regenerative ceramic as a crystal nucleus to continue to generate crystals. The production area of the gaseous silicon dioxide on the regenerative ceramic is basically concentrated in the high-temperature zone close to the furnace, mainly because high-temperature conditions can quickly promote the growth of crystals. Generally, the pore of the regenerative ceramic is small, and the pore will be quickly blocked by the newly generated silicon dioxide crystals, which eventually leads to an increase in the pressure of the RTO system, a significant increase in energy consumption, and an inability to meet the production exhaust requirements, which seriously affects the normal production of enterprises.

[0009] Furthermore, the present invention provides an annular regenerative incinerator with an easily replaceable heat storage body, which may also have the following feature: when the differential pressure value measured by the differential pressure gauge is greater than a set value, the annular support is driven to rotate to replace the heat storage body.

[0019] The specific embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] As Figs. 1-3 shown, the present application provides a ring-shaped heat accumulating incineration device with easily replaceable heat accumulators, which comprises a combustion chamber 1 and at least three heat accumulating units 2, and the plurality of heat accumulating units 2 are located below the combustion chamber 1 and communicate with the combustion chamber 1.

[0021] The combustion chamber 1 and the plurality of heat accumulating units 2 are both circular arc-shaped.

[0022] The heat accumulating unit 2 comprises an upper heat accumulating chamber 21 and a lower heat accumulating chamber 22 which communicate with each other. The lower heat accumulating chamber 22 is provided with heat accumulators. Specifically, the heat accumulators are heat accumulating ceramics.

[0023] The upper heat accumulating chambers 21 of the plurality of heat accumulating units 2 communicate with each other to form a circular arc-shaped upper heat accumulating space.

[0024] The device further comprises a ring-shaped heat accumulating rotating unit 3. The ring-shaped heat accumulating rotating unit 3 comprises a ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 which is a circular ring structure formed by heat accumulators. The ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 matches the circular arc-shaped upper heat accumulating space, and the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 passes through the upper heat accumulating space, part of which is located in the upper heat accumulating space and the remaining part is located outside the upper heat accumulating space, and the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 can rotate around the center. The ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 located in the upper heat accumulating chamber 21 and the heat accumulators in the lower heat accumulating chamber 22 below it jointly realize the heat accumulating function of the heat accumulating unit 2. The heat accumulators located in the upper heat accumulating chamber 21 are replaced by rotating the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31.

[0025] Specifically, the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 is provided with a plurality of partitions 311 which separate the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 into a plurality of heat accumulating areas 312 (i.e. each heat accumulating area 312 is filled with heat accumulators). The heat accumulating areas 312 match the upper heat accumulating chambers 21. By rotating the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31, the plurality of heat accumulating areas 312 are aligned with the upper heat accumulating chambers 21 of the plurality of heat accumulating units 2, and each heat accumulating area 312 and the lower heat accumulating chamber 22 below it constitute an independently sealed heat accumulating unit 2 (here, the sealing refers to the sealing isolation between the heat accumulating units 2 and the outside world), and the remaining heat accumulating areas 312 are left outside the device.

[0026] The ring-shaped heat accumulating rotating unit 3 further comprises a rotatable ring-shaped support 32. The ring-shaped support 32 matches the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31, and the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 is arranged on the ring-shaped support 32. The ring-shaped support 32 also passes through the upper heat accumulating space, and the ring-shaped support 32 drives the ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 to rotate.

[0027] The ring-shaped heat accumulator 31 is rotated by the ring-shaped support 32, so as to replace the heat accumulators in the upper heat accumulating chamber 21, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly replacing the heat accumulators in the upper heat accumulating chamber 21.

[0028] Preferably, the upper heat storage chamber 21 of the heat storage unit 2 is provided with a sealing structure matching the partition plate 311 on both sides, and the sealing structure cooperates with the partition plate 311 to seal the heat storage unit 2 when the annular heat storage body 31 is rotated to the heat storage area 312 aligned with the upper heat storage chamber 21. The sealing structure is ceramic fiber or glass fiber.

[0029] The rotation of the annular support can be achieved by various prior art. For example, an annular guide rail is arranged under the annular support 32 (half inside the RTO and half outside the RTO), and a tooth structure meshing with a gear is arranged on the inner side or the outer side of the annular support 32, and the annular support 32 is driven to rotate by driving the gear, and the like. Various prior art can achieve the rotation of the annular support, which will not be described here.

[0030] In this embodiment, the number of heat storage units 2 is three. The three heat storage units 2 are semicircular. The annular heat storage body 31 is provided with six heat storage areas 312, three of which are located in the upper heat storage space and form three heat storage units 2 with the lower heat storage chambers 22 below them, and the remaining three heat storage areas 312 are left outside the device. Of course, the three heat storage units 2 can also be designed as one-third of a circular arc, and the corresponding annular heat storage body 31 is provided with nine heat storage areas 312, etc.

[0031] Further, the upper and lower sides of the heat storage area 312 are provided with a differential pressure gauge for measuring the pressure difference of the upper and lower sides of the heat storage body in the heat storage area 312. When the pressure difference measured by the differential pressure gauge is greater than the set value, the annular support 32 is driven to rotate to replace the heat storage body. Specifically, the pressure difference value measured by the differential pressure gauge is linked to the driving device of the annular support 32, and when the pressure difference value reaches the set value (representing that the heat storage body is blocked to a certain extent and needs to be replaced), the driving device of the annular support 32 is started to automatically replace the heat storage body in the upper heat storage chamber 21.

[0032] In operation, the annular support 32 is rotated to align the three heat storage areas 312 of the annular heat storage body 31 with the three heat storage units 2, each heat storage area 312 and the lower heat storage chamber 22 below it form an independently sealed heat storage unit 2, and the remaining three heat storage areas 312 are left outside the device, and the RTO continues to operate. When the pressure difference measured by the differential pressure gauge is greater than the set value, the driving device of the annular support 32 is started, the annular support 32 is rotated, the heat storage body outside the RTO is rotated to the inside of the RTO, and the heat storage body inside the RTO is rotated to the outside, thereby achieving automatic replacement of the heat storage body in the upper heat storage chamber 21. The rotated heat storage body is cleaned or replaced outside the device according to the actual situation for the next rotation and replacement.

[0033] In the replacement process, the RTO keeps the original state and continues to run without stopping production. The upper regenerator 21 is provided with sealing structure on both sides, and the regenerator fills the regenerator area 312, so that the combustion chamber 1, the upper regenerator 21 and the lower regenerator 22 are still relatively closed and complete during rotation. Even if the replacement is not stopped, the exhaust gas will not leak. At the same time, although the replaced regenerator is at room temperature, the RTO purification efficiency can be ensured by increasing the natural gas consumption, that is, the RTO still has the exhaust gas purification function.
