Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-tube once-through boiler that generates steam by heating a plurality of water pipes, and particularly to a structure and an operation method for reducing the generation of residual ash adhering to the combustion chamber in a multi-tube once-through boiler that can use recycled oil as fuel. Background Art

[0002] For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the multi-tube once-through boiler is configured such that a plurality of water pipes are arranged vertically in a cylindrical combustion cylinder with upper and lower bottoms, and the annular upper header 1 and the lower header 2 are connected by two rows of water pipes, namely the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4. The space between adjacent inner water pipe rows 3 and adjacent outer water pipe rows 4 is closed (closed fin 8), and a part of the space between the water pipes in the inner water pipe row 3 is opened (inner flue opening 5), thereby forming a combustion gas passage 7 between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4, and water is supplied to each water pipe from the lower header 2.

[0003] In the above structure, the following structure is formed: fuel is supplied to a burner 10 provided in the combustion cylinder and burned, thereby generating combustion gas in the combustion chamber 9. The combustion gas is supplied to the outside of the plurality of water pipes from the combustion gas passage 7 to heat and evaporate the boiler water in the water pipes, and the consumed steam is taken out from the upper header 1. In addition, the combustion exhaust gas passes through the combustion gas passage 7 and the outer flue opening 6 and is discharged from the flue 12 as the combustion exhaust gas with reduced temperature.

[0004] The peripheral portions of the upper header 1 and the lower header 2 are covered with a refractory material 13, and the entire combustion cylinder is covered with a heat insulating material 14.

[0005] However, in the above multi-tube once-through boiler, since the combustion chamber is sealed and it is difficult to clean the inside of the combustion cylinder, there is a problem that the fuel of the combustion gas burned by the burner is limited, and recycled oil composed of waste oil that easily generates residual ash cannot be used.

[0006] Therefore, the present inventor proposed a multi-tube once-through boiler of Patent Document 2 having a structure capable of using recycled oil (waste oil) as fuel for generating combustion gas for consumed steam.

[0007] According to this structure, by forming the combustion chamber into a cylindrical shape extending in the horizontal direction and forming a door (cover) on one end side facing the combustion chamber, it is possible to face the inside by opening and closing the door (cover), and it is easy to clean the combustion chamber, so that recycled oil (waste oil) can be used as fuel for combustion gas (refer to Patent Document 2).

[0012] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0013] However, in the proposed multi-tubular once-through boiler, although the inside of the combustion chamber can be cleaned by opening and closing the door (cover body), a large amount of residual ash is unexpectedly generated due to the use of recycled oil (waste oil), and accordingly, the cleaning frequency increases, resulting in a complicated cleaning operation. In particular, the cleaning of opening and closing the door (cover body) is carried out after the operation of the multi-tubular once-through boiler stops. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes time to completely remove the residual ash firmly attached to the inside of the combustion chamber and around the water pipes.

[0034] Advantages of the Invention

[0035] According to the present invention, in a multi-tube once-through boiler using recycled oil as combustion fuel, by intermittently injecting steam from a plurality of nozzles (50, 60, 70) during the operation of the multi-tube once-through boiler, the adhesion of residual ash generated due to the combustion of recycled oil to the surface side of the water pipe row (3, 4) can be suppressed.

[0036] By intermittently injecting steam during the operation of the multi-tube once-through boiler, the temperature drop of the water pipe row (3, 4) can be suppressed.

[0037] By feeding back the consumed steam obtained from the multi-tube once-through boiler (100), steam can be injected from the nozzles (50, 60, 70) without adding a steam generator.

[0038] By branching (84) the consumed steam obtained from the multi-tube once-through boiler (100), the consumed steam can be fed back for use.

[0039] By arranging the first nozzle row (nozzle 50) at a position facing the water pipe row from the partition wall (30), the generation of residual ash adhering to the water pipe row (inner water pipe row 3) when the combustion gas from the burner (10) collides and flows backward can be suppressed.

[0042] By expanding the injection angle of the steam in the nozzle (50) to 100 degrees to 115 degrees, the injected steam easily hits the periphery of the water tube rows (3, 4), and generation of residual ash adhering to this part can be effectively suppressed.

[0043] By narrowing the injection angle of the steam in the nozzles (60, 70) to 10 degrees to 20 degrees, the injected steam is injected in a straight line direction and easily enters the gap between the inner water tube row (3) and the outer water tube row (4), and generation of residual ash adhering to this part can be effectively suppressed.

[0044] By connecting a cyclone device (90) to the flue (12), solid components (powder) can be removed from the combustion gas.

[0045] By connecting a bag filter (92) to the outlet of the combustion gas via a cooling device (91), powder in the combustion gas can be reliably removed in the bag filter (92).

[0046] By connecting a plurality of cyclone devices (90) and a cooling device (91) to one bag filter (92), the usage efficiency of the bag filter (92) can be improved and the structure can be simplified.

[0062] An embodiment of the multi-tube once-through boiler of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] Figure 1 And Figure 2The external appearance of the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100 is shown. Relative to the hinge portion 21 mounted on the bottomed cylindrical main body 20 arranged horizontally and having both ends closed by the closing plate 40a and the closing plate 40b, a cover body 22 that serves as a door for opening and closing the front side of the main body 20 is rotatably mounted. A burner 10 is provided on the outer side surface of the cover body 22. By supplying fuel to the burner 10 and burning it (about 1500 °C), combustion gas is generated in the combustion chamber 9 sandwiched between the closing plate 40a on the cover body 22 side and the closing plate 40b inside the main body 20. The peripheral portion of the burner 10 on the combustion chamber 9 side is covered with a refractory material 13.

[0064] The combustion gas generated in the combustion chamber 9 of the main body 20 heats a plurality of water pipes provided inside the main body 20 from the surface side and is discharged as combustion exhaust gas from a flue 12 provided above the main body 20.

[0065] Water is supplied to the plurality of water pipes, and the periphery of each water pipe is heated by the combustion gas generated in the combustion chamber 9 to generate steam. The steam is discharged to the outside as consumption steam from a piping line 81 via a steam-water separator 80 for removing larger water droplets in the steam. A pressure gauge 82 for measuring the steam pressure and a safety valve 83 for releasing steam when the pressure rises are installed in the steam-water separator 80.

[0066] Regarding the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100 of the present invention, as the combustion gas for generating consumption steam, when only using recycled oil as fuel, in-depth research has been repeatedly carried out. As a result, it has been found that injecting steam into the combustion chamber during operation is beneficial to suppressing the adhesion of residual ash in the combustion chamber, and a structure for this has been proposed.

[0067] Recycled oil includes various used mineral-based waste oils such as engine oil, waste cooking oils represented by used tempura oil, waste animal and vegetable oils mainly obtained from animal fats, and oil collected from waste water containing oils discharged from kitchens such as restaurants by an oil collector (oil trap) and stored.

[0068] Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 3 to 6 The internal structure of the main body 20 of the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100 will be described.

[0069] A bottomed cylindrical combustion chamber 9 extending in the horizontal direction is formed in the center of the main body 20, and a plurality of arc-shaped water pipes are arranged so as to surround the periphery inside the combustion chamber 9.

[0070] The water pipe group arranged on the left inner side of the combustion chamber 9 in the plurality of arc-shaped water pipes is defined as the inner water pipe row 3L, and the upper ends are connected by the linear left upper header 1L, and the lower ends are connected by the linear left lower header 2L. Similarly, the water pipe group arranged on the right inner side of the combustion chamber 9 is defined as the inner water pipe row 3R, and the upper ends are connected by the linear right upper header 1R, and the lower ends are connected by the linear right lower header 2R. Moreover, the water pipes constituting the left and right inner water pipe rows 3L and 3R are connected by the closing fins 8.

[0071] Water pipes are arranged outside the inner water pipe row 3 and between the respective water pipes of the inner water pipe row 3, and these water pipe groups constitute the outer water pipe row 4. The outer water pipe row 4 is arranged outside the left and right inner water pipe rows 3 respectively. Similar to the left and right inner water pipe rows 3, the upper ends of the water pipe group on the left side are connected to the left upper header 1L, and the lower ends are connected to the left lower header 2L. The upper ends of the water pipe group on the right side are connected to the right upper header 1R, and the lower ends are connected to the right lower header 2R. Moreover, between the respective water pipes constituting the left and right outer water pipe rows 4, similar to the inner water pipe row 3, they are connected by the closing fins 8.

[0072] Moreover, the combustion chamber 9 is partitioned by providing a partition wall 30 made of a refractory material 13 near the end of the inner water pipe row 3, which is the injection destination of the combustion gas inside the main body 20, and the combustion gas ejected from the burner 10 is configured to all flow backward after colliding with the partition wall 30. On the combustion chamber 9 side of the partition wall 30, a refractory material 13 with sufficient thickness is arranged so that it will not be deformed even if high-temperature combustion gas collides. For the closing plate 40b, in order to prevent deformation, a heat insulating material 14 is also arranged on its inner part.

[0073] On the combustion gas supply side (the cover 22 side), an inner smoke passage port 5 is formed between the inner side wall of the cover 22 and the end water pipe, and a cutout portion (inner smoke passage port 5A) is formed on the closing fin 8 that connects the water pipes of the inner water pipe row 3. That is, as Figure 6 shown, cutout portions (the slanted portions in Figure 5 ) are respectively formed on the three closing fins 8 from the cover 22 side. The cutout area of this cutout portion is formed by openings in three stages that are the widest on the cover 22 side. This is because, by increasing the cutout portion (refer to Figure 5 ) at the position of the outlet of the combustion gas closer to the burner 10, the combustion gas flowing backward after colliding with the partition wall 30 easily returns to the vicinity of the cover 22 side.

[0074] In this example, cut portions (diagonal line portions) are formed only on three closing fins 8 with respect to 19 water pipes, but the number of closing fins 8 on which the cut portions are formed is preferably such that cut portions are formed at about 10% to 20% with respect to the total number of water pipes. That is, in this example, two to three cut portions are formed with respect to 19 water pipes so that there is no resistance to the flow of combustion gas and the combustion gas reliably flows backward.

[0075] Next, with reference to Figures 6 to 10 the structure of the nozzle row provided in the combustion chamber 9, which is a characteristic part of the present invention, will be described.

[0076] On the inner surface side of the partition wall 30 provided on the side opposite to the gate side of the combustion chamber 9, a plurality of nozzles 50 (first nozzle group) for injecting steam are annularly arranged at positions along the inner side of the inner water pipe row 3.

[0077] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 8 a plurality of nozzles 50 with injection ports facing the combustion chamber 9 are provided on a circular pipe 51 arranged along the inner side of the inner water pipe row 3 in the combustion chamber 9.

[0078] Moreover, at positions on the lid body 22 side of the combustion chamber 9 facing the gap between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4, a plurality of nozzles 60 (second nozzle group) for injecting steam into the gap are annularly arranged along the gap between the water pipe rows.

[0079] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 a pair of semi-circular pipes 61 are provided in the combustion chamber 9, and steam is supplied to each semi-circular pipe 61 from the outside via a pipe 62, whereby steam is supplied along the semi-circular pipes 61 and steam is injected from a plurality of nozzles 60 provided on the semi-circular pipes 61.

[0080] In addition, on the partition wall 30 side of the combustion chamber 9, at positions facing the gap between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4, a plurality of nozzles 70 (third nozzle group) for injecting steam into the gap are annularly arranged along the gap between the water pipe rows.

[0081] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 8 a plurality of nozzles 70 are provided on a circular pipe 71 arranged between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4 in the combustion chamber 9.

[0082] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the exhaust steam from the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100 is branched at 84 and supplied to the plurality of nozzles 50, 60, 70 through the circular pipe 51, the semi-circular pipe 61, and the circular pipe 71 from the pipes 52, 62, 72 via the injection control device 85, respectively.

[0083] Through the branch 84, a part of the exhaust steam discharged from the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100 is fed back and can be used as the injection steam from each of the nozzles 50, 60, 70.

[0084] Moreover, in the injection control device 85, the injection time, injection amount, and injection pressure of the steam are controlled so that the steam is intermittently injected from the front ends of the nozzles 50, 60, 70 at a pressure of 0.4 MPa to 0.8 MPa at intervals of 1 hour to 2 hours for 5 seconds to 15 seconds.

[0085] When the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100 that obtains exhaust steam at a pressure of 0.49 MPa to 0.98 MPa is in operation, the temperature in the combustion chamber 9 reaches 900°C to 1000°C. Therefore, if steam at about 150°C to 175°C is injected from each nozzle, the temperature of the water pipes is reduced. However, by intermittently injecting the steam, the reduction in the surface temperature of the water pipes can be suppressed.

[0086] In the above example, regarding the steam supplied to each nozzle, the exhaust steam discharged from the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100 is branched at 84 and adjusted by the injection control device 85 for use. However, instead of using the exhaust steam of the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100, steam supplied from other pipelines can also be used. For example, the steam supplied from other pipelines can also be controlled for the supply time and pressure through a flow regulator and a pressure regulator and intermittently injected into the combustion chamber 9.

[0087] Injecting steam from each nozzle is to blow off the residual ash by injecting steam with mass and suppress the adhesion to the surroundings of the water pipes constituting the water pipe rows 3 and 4. Moreover, by using high-temperature steam, when the steam comes into contact with the water pipes, the occurrence of damage to the water pipes in the combustion chamber 9 filled with combustion gas and having a high temperature (900 - 1000°C) is also prevented.

[0088] Moreover, for the nozzle holes in each of the nozzles 50 in the first nozzle row, nozzle holes with an injection angle of 100 degrees to 115 degrees are selected. This is because, by setting it to a wide angle of about 110 degrees, the injection range is expanded and the injection is reliably made to the inner wall surface of the inner water pipe 3 to suppress the adhesion of residual ash.

[0089] In each of the nozzles 60 and 70 of the second nozzle row and the third nozzle row, nozzle holes with a spray angle of 10 degrees to 20 degrees are selected. By narrowing the spray angle to make the steam spray in a straight line direction, the steam can easily enter the gap between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4.

[0090] Moreover, in order to prevent the attachment of residual ash around the water pipes, the pressure of the steam to be sprayed is preferably about 0.4 MPa to 0.8 MPa.

[0091] According to the above structure, by spraying steam from a plurality of nozzles 50, 60, and 70 during the operation of the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100, the generation of residual ash adhering to the surface of the inner water pipe row 3 in the combustion chamber can be suppressed by the first nozzle group, and the generation of residual ash adhering to the gap portion between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4 can be suppressed by the second nozzle group and the third nozzle group.

[0092] Moreover, by arranging a plurality of nozzles 60 (the second nozzle group) on the door side, when the flow of the combustion gas flowing reversely in the combustion chamber 9 flows from the door (cover body 21) side to the closing plate 40b side in the gap between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4, the flow of the combustion gas can be made smooth by spraying steam at the portion where the flow stagnates at the notch portion 5A.

[0093] A flue 12 for discharging combustion exhaust gas communicating with the combustion chamber 9 is arranged on the upper surface of the combustion chamber 9 on the side opposite to the door side. And, on a plurality of closing fins 8 (three water pipes in the example of the figure) of the outer water pipe row 4 at the position facing the opening portion 12a of the flue 12, upper notch portions 41 corresponding to the upper semi-circle are formed.

[0094] Due to the existence of the plurality of upper notch portions 41, on the closing plate 40b side, the combustion exhaust gas can flow out from the gap between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4 to the outside of the outer water pipe row 4 via the upper notch portions 41.

[0095] In addition, the three upper notch portions 41 are formed such that the opening area becomes larger as it approaches the dividing wall 30. This is to make the flow of the combustion gas reach the inner side as much as possible, increase the contact area with the water pipe row, and improve the heat exchange efficiency with the combustion gas.

[0096] A cyclone device 90 for separating powder (residual ash) from the combustion exhaust gas is connected above the flue 12. The cyclone device 90 is a powder separator that separates the powdery residual ash mixed with the gas by centrifugal separation, and a device having a general structure for separating the gas and the powder is used.

[0097] Water supply ports 23 are respectively provided on the lower surfaces of the left lower header 2L and the right lower header 2R, and steam discharge ports 24 are respectively provided on the upper surfaces of the left upper header 1L and the right upper header 1R.

[0098] According to the above structure, if water is supplied from the respective water supply ports 23 of the left lower header 2L and the right lower header 2R, boiler water is supplied to each of the plurality of water pipes arranged in an arc shape. And if combustion gas is supplied from the burner 10 to the combustion chamber 9, the combustion gas from the combustion chamber 9 contacts the inner side surfaces (the surfaces on the combustion chamber 9 side) of the water pipes in the inner water pipe row 3, heating the boiler water in the water pipes.

[0099] The combustion gas is rebounded by the partition wall 30 provided at the end of the combustion chamber 9 and returns toward the cover body 22. However, as Figure 6 shown, the combustion gas guided from the inner flue opening 5 and the cutout portion (inner flue opening 5A) to the combustion gas passage 7 between the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4 contacts the inner side surfaces of the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4, heating the boiler water in the water pipes.

[0100] The boiler water in the water pipes of the inner water pipe row 3 and the outer water pipe row 4 is heated to become steam, and is taken out from the steam discharge ports 24 provided on the left upper header 1L and the right upper header 1R via the steam-water separator 80, the pipeline 81, and the branch 84, and is consumed at a desired supply location.

[0101] The combustion gas is cooled by heating the boiler water in the water pipes, and is discharged to the outside after being separated into combustion exhaust gas and powder via the flue 12 and the cyclone device 90.

[0102] A bag filter 92 is connected to the cyclone device 90 via a cooling device 91 for cooling the combustion exhaust gas. The cooling device 91 is used to cool the combustion exhaust gas to a temperature below a certain level when dust (powder) adheres to the surface of the filter cloth of the bag filter 92, because if the combustion exhaust gas is at a high temperature, it will damage the filter cloth and no adhesion effect can be obtained. According to this structure, the combustion exhaust gas discharged from the bag filter 92 can be exhausted in a state where the solid components are substantially removed.

[0103] In the case of using a multi-tubular once-through boiler with the above structure, as Figure 11 shown, a structure can be adopted in which the cyclone device 90 and the cooling device 91 are respectively connected to each multi-tubular once-through boiler 100, and the discharge paths from each cooling device 91 are aggregated into one and guided to the bag filter 92.

[0104] The multi-tubular once-through boiler 100 constructed as described above, when using recycled oil (waste oil) as the combustion fuel of the burner 10, during the operation of the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100, by intermittently injecting steam from the multiple nozzles 50, 60, 70 arranged in the first nozzle row, the second nozzle row, and the third nozzle row, an air flow is generated around the water tube row, and the occurrence of residual ash adhering to the inner water tube row 3 and the outer water tube row 4 in the combustion chamber 9 can be suppressed.

[0105] In particular, since steam is injected around the water tube row during the operation of the multi-tubular once-through boiler 100, the adhesion of residual ash can be suppressed, and the situation where the attached residual ash firmly adheres after the multi-tubular once-through boiler stops can be prevented.

[0106] Moreover, by intermittently injecting steam, the temperature drop on the surface of the water tube rows (3, 4) caused by the collision of steam at a temperature (about 150°C to 175°C) lower than the temperature in the combustion chamber (about 900°C to 1000°C) can be suppressed, without hindering the heating of the water tube rows.
