Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of calcium carbide furnace flue, and is a calcium carbide furnace flue system with quenching function. BACKGROUND

[0002] The calcium carbide production process is a process of generating calcium carbide by using lime and carbon material as raw materials, relying on electric arc heat and resistance heat at a high temperature of 1900-2200 DEG C in a calcium carbide furnace. The high-temperature coal gas generated in the production of calcium carbide carries part of the powder (carbon material, lime) into the flue. The flue is provided with a circulating water cooling jacket to cool the high-temperature coal gas, and the cooled coal gas enters the purification system. Due to the high temperature (1900-2200 DEG C) of the reaction area of the calcium carbide furnace, the high temperature of the coal gas, and the melting of the carbon material and lime powder carried, the flue is scaled and blocked. Once the flue is scaled, the heat exchange between the circulating water and the flue gas will be blocked, and the scaling trend is irreversible. After a period of accumulation, the work needs to be stopped for treatment. The scaling of the flue has the following hazards.

[0003] Firstly, the scaling of the flue has an impact on the operation of the calcium carbide furnace: the calcium carbide furnace is stopped. The scaling of the flue will cause the flue diameter to become smaller, affecting the normal flow of the coal gas, and in severe cases, the calcium carbide furnace will not be able to normally transport the coal gas to the purification system, and the calcium carbide furnace needs to be stopped for cleaning the flue. Each calcium carbide furnace is cleaned once a month due to the scaling of the flue, and is stopped for 8 hours. Taking a conventional calcium carbide furnace in the industry as an example, the loss caused by the single flue cleaning is more than 200,000 yuan.

[0004] Secondly, the scaling of the flue has an impact on the operation of the equipment: the scaling of the flue reduces the heat exchange capacity of the flue, the temperature of the coal gas is high, and the flue, flue valve, bag in the bag house and ash / ash conveying equipment are burned. The burning of the above equipment and facilities may cause coal gas leakage, flue leakage and other high-risk events, and further cause coal gas fire, explosion and other serious safety incidents. At the same time, the high temperature reduces the service life of the equipment, increasing the equipment maintenance and replacement cost.

[0005] Finally, the cleaning of the flue scaling is a high-risk operation: the cleaning of the flue scaling involves climbing operation, hoisting operation, confined space operation and other high-risk special operations. A large number of maintenance personnel participate in the cleaning of the flue scaling in a short time, and the personnel are exposed to the operation risk, which may cause personal injury events.

[0006] Limited to the existing calcium carbide furnace and flue design of calcium carbide industry, flue scaling cannot be avoided, which is an industry problem that has plagued calcium carbide production. The current calcium carbide industry existing flue scaling control methods are: first, reduce the calcium carbide furnace charge surface temperature, strictly require electrode lowering, the high temperature reaction zone (hot zone) of the calcium carbide furnace is at the bottom, the high temperature coal gas is generated after heat exchange through the upper carbon material, the temperature entering the flue will be relatively low, but still cannot be reduced to below 700 degrees. And the electrode lowering depth cannot be guaranteed during calcium carbide production, the temperature in the flue is kept above 900 degrees for a long time; second, increase nitrogen back blowing and knockers in the flue, nitrogen back blowing and knockers can remove the relatively loose scaling in the back blowing and knocking area, but cannot clean the entire flue and hard scaling; third, try to stabilize the calcium carbide furnace operating pressure, maintain a slight positive pressure. Slow down the high temperature caused by the negative pressure of the calcium carbide furnace, air entering the flue system combustion, and slow down the speed of flue scaling. This measure can only very limitedly delay flue scaling, but cannot stop flue scaling from occurring.

[0007] The above measures can only slow down the speed of flue scaling, and cannot effectively solve the problem of flue scaling. The calcium carbide production industry urgently needs a technological innovation to completely solve the industry problem of flue scaling. SUMMARY

[0008] The present application provides a calcium carbide furnace flue system with quenching function, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and effectively solves the problem of easy scaling of the existing calcium carbide furnace flue.
