Description

Technical Field

This technology ingeniously utilizes biomass fuel and porous heat storage medium materials to achieve low-temperature flameless combustion and enable the self-sustaining propagation of the combustion process. It not only combines the advantages of traditional incineration technologies, such as rapid reaction and thorough harmlessness after ashing, but also has unique technical advantages - for highly water-containing organic solid waste, it can be directly disposed of without prior drying. From a principle perspective, this technology significantly reduces the energy consumption of traditional solid waste disposal technologies, effectively reducing investment and operating costs, and showing extremely broad development prospects.

[0003] The currently used furnace type is cylindrical. In actual operation, the solid waste, fuel, and heat storage material are mixed in a specific ratio and then added into the furnace. Through the heating device at the ignition position in the furnace, the material is directly heated until the ignition temperature is reached, and then air is supplied to ignite the material. However, due to the characteristics of the mixed material itself, during the feeding process, the material layer presents a wavy shape and is unevenly distributed. In addition, the heating rod needs to be inserted into the material, which requires the equipped protection device, and this to a certain extent leads to low heat transfer efficiency. Multiple factors are intertwined, ultimately resulting in the phenomenon that some waste materials cannot be completely burned.

[0020] The flameless combustion furnace and control method according to the embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] As Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, a flameless combustion furnace and a control method according to an embodiment of the present invention include: a furnace body 1, an oxygen supply unit, a plurality of ignition units, and a detection unit; a cavity is formed in the middle of the furnace body 1. Both the furnace body 1 and the cavity are cylindrical. The cavity and the furnace body 1 are coaxially arranged in the height direction. A combustion chamber 5 is formed between the outer surface of the cavity and the outer surface of the furnace body 1. An inlet 11 is formed at the upper end of the furnace body 1, and an outlet 12 is formed at the lower end of the furnace body 1; the oxygen supply unit includes a main flow pipe 2. One end of the main flow pipe 2 is located inside the cavity, and the other end of the main flow pipe 2 is located outside the furnace body 1; one end of the ignition unit is connected to one end of the main flow pipe 2, and the other end of the ignition unit is connected to the combustion chamber 5. A plurality of ignition units are at the same height and are evenly spaced; the detection unit is arranged on the inner wall of the combustion chamber 5 and is used to detect the smoldering state in the combustion chamber 5.

[0022] In this embodiment, the combustion chamber 5 is set as an annular structure, and a plurality of ignition units are arranged inside the combustion chamber 5. In this way, the cross-section of the combustion chamber 5 is dispersed into a plurality of small areas, and then controlled separately by a plurality of ignition units, realizing the uniformity of ignition, avoiding the phenomenon of incomplete smoldering, and at the same time improving the ignition efficiency; in addition, since the area responsible for each ignition unit is small, the ignition unit only needs to ignite on one side of its corresponding area and does not need to be inserted into the material, so the loss of the ignition unit caused by high temperature is reduced, and the service life of the ignition unit is improved. The detection unit is used to detect the smoldering situation in the combustion chamber 5, and the corresponding ignition unit is controlled to perform secondary ignition operations according to the detection results, realizing timely treatment in the state of incomplete local smoldering, avoiding the situation of unsmoldered materials in the discharged ash, and ensuring the completeness of smoldering.

[0023] Both the furnace body 1 and the cavity are cylindrical.

[0024] One end of the main flow pipe 2 is located on the central axis of the cavity, and a plurality of ignition units are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the furnace body 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the areas corresponding to the ignition units are the same, so the time difference of complete smoldering in each area is reduced, and the overall working efficiency is improved.

[0026] The ignition unit includes: a first branch pipe 3, a heater, and a first temperature measuring point 31. The first branch pipe 3 is connected with a first control valve. Both ends of the first branch pipe 3 are respectively connected to the main flow pipe 2 and the combustion chamber 5 for transmitting the oxygen in the main flow pipe 2 to the combustion chamber 5. The heater and the first temperature measuring point 31 are both installed on the first branch pipe 3. The first temperature measuring point 31 is located between the heater and the combustion chamber 5. The heater is used to heat the gas in the first branch pipe 3, and the first temperature measuring point 31 is used to detect the temperature of the gas in the first branch pipe 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, when ignition is required, the first control valve and the heater are turned on, so that the gas in the main flow pipe 2 is guided to the combustion chamber 5 and the gas is heated to achieve the effect of ignition. After the ignition is completed, the heater can be controlled to be turned off, and oxygen supply to the combustion chamber 5 continues. The heater is an electromagnetic heater, which heats the first branch pipe 3 by using the electromagnetic principle. It has a simple structure, can directly act hot air on the material, has a fast heating rate, improves the heating efficiency, and is used for rapid ignition and subsequent rapid adjustment of uneven burning.

[0028] The oxygen supply unit further includes a plurality of second branch pipes 4. The second branch pipes 4 are connected with second control valves. The two ends of the second branch pipes 4 are respectively connected with the main flow pipe 2 and the combustion chamber 5. The plurality of second branch pipes 4 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the combustion chamber 5. The plurality of second branch pipes 4 are located at the same height. The second branch pipes 4 are located below the ignition unit. The second control valves can control the air intake volume of the second branch pipes 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the second branch pipes 4 are used to supply oxygen to the combustion chamber 5. During the oxygen supply process, the ash material below the first branch pipe 3 is cooled, so that the discharged ash material is in a low-temperature state. At the same time, the heat carried by the ash material is blown upward, and the materials above the first branch pipe 3 are smoldered and the materials at the upper end of the combustion chamber 5 are dried by using this heat, reducing the requirement for the dryness of the materials and saving the steps of pre-drying treatment.

[0030] The detection unit includes a first temperature measurement group 61, a second temperature measurement group 62, a third temperature measurement group 63 and a fourth temperature measurement group 64. The first temperature measurement group 61, the second temperature measurement group 62, the third temperature measurement group 63 and the fourth temperature measurement group 64 are arranged at intervals from bottom to top along the central axis direction of the combustion chamber 5; the first temperature measurement group 61, the second temperature measurement group 62, the third temperature measurement group 63 and the fourth temperature measurement group 64 all include a plurality of second temperature measurement points, and the plurality of second temperature measurement points are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the combustion chamber 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, in the vertical direction, the first branch pipe 3, the second branch pipe 4 and the second temperature measurement points correspond; the number of the first branch pipes 3 is , ; the number of the first branch pipes 3 can be adjusted appropriately; The outer radius of the combustion chamber 5 is a dimensionless numerical value in units.

[0032] The second branch pipes 4 are arranged about 0.2 away from the combustion chamber 5, serving as normal air inlets to meet the normal smoldering oxygen supply demand and cool the ash material; the first branch pipes 3 are arranged about 0.6 away from the combustion chamber 5, used to provide high-temperature hot air for ignition during furnace startup and supplement heat when the working conditions are poor.

[0033] From the radius and processing capacity of the combustion chamber 5, the required height of the material can be calculated as:

[0034] wherein smoldering material height , daily throughput of the mixture , outer radius of the smoldering furnace , inner radius of the smoldering furnace , density of the mixture .

[0035] smoldering disposal rate ; wherein smoldering disposal rate , daily throughput of the mixture , outer radius of the smoldering furnace , inner radius of the smoldering furnace , density of the mixture , actual smoldering time of the material , is a unitless value of

[0036] The combustion chamber 5 is divided into a cooling section, a smoldering section, and a drying section from bottom to top. The first branch pipe 3 is located at the bottom of the smoldering section. Among them, the first temperature measurement group 61 is located 5 - 8 is appropriate above the bottom of the cooling section for detecting the cooling effect of the cooling section; the second temperature measurement group 62 and the third temperature measurement group 63 are both located in the smoldering section. The second temperature measurement group 62 is located about 2 above the first branch pipe 3, and the third temperature measurement group 63 is located about 2 above the second temperature measurement group 62, that is, the height of the smoldering section is controlled at about 2 for detecting the smoldering area in the smoldering section, evaluating the position of the smoldering layer of the material, and timely discovering the phenomenon of uneven burning; the fourth temperature measurement group 64 is located in the drying section, 5 - 8 above the smoldering section for detecting the pyrolysis effect and drying degree of the material in the drying section.

[0037] The number of the second temperature measurement points of the first temperature measurement group 61, the second temperature measurement group 62, the third temperature measurement group 63, and the fourth temperature measurement group 64 is the same as the number of ignition units and corresponds one by one.

[0038] In this embodiment, one-to-one correspondence is adopted to facilitate the detection of specific partial burning positions and quickly make corresponding improvement measures.

[0039] The cavity can be understood as a pipe body, which is the inner wall of the combustion chamber 5. A conical structure is formed at the top of the cavity, and the conical structure seals the upper end of the pipe body. The feeding port 11 is located above the vertex of the conical structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, it is convenient to disperse the materials, making the distribution of materials in the annular combustion chamber 5 more uniform. Moreover, the structure is simple, the occupied area is small, and the volume of the flameless combustion furnace is reduced.

[0041] A control method for a flameless combustion furnace, adopting the above-mentioned flameless combustion furnace, includes the following steps: S1. Add fuel into the combustion chamber 5 so that the fuel covers and is higher than the ignition unit; first, add heat storage materials so that the height of the heat storage materials is flush with the lower surface of the first branch pipe 3, thereby avoiding unsmoldering materials in the area below the first branch pipe 3 and improving the completeness of smoldering; then fill in part of the fuel and make the fuel have a certain height to increase the ignition speed during initial ignition and dry the mixture above it subsequently.

[0042] S2. Add the mixture mixed with heat storage materials, fuel, and solid waste in a staged manner above the fuel; the heat storage materials can be sand and gravel, and the fuel can be biomass.

[0043] S3. Supply high-temperature hot air into the combustion chamber 5 by using the ignition unit to make the fuel smolder, and at the same time dry the mixture above the fuel. After ignition is completed, the ignition unit is closed; during this process, the second branch pipe 4 is in a closed state. Specifically, turn on the heater and control the temperature supplied by the first branch pipe 3 at about 200 °C. When the temperature in the corresponding areas of the second temperature measurement group 62 and the third temperature measurement group 63 reaches above 100 °C, the time of this step is controlled within 30 - 60 min to dry the fuel and the mixture; then increase the power of the heater and control the temperature supplied by the first branch pipe 3 at 600 °C within 30 - 60 min, and the time above 500 °C is not less than 10 min, so that all the fuel can be ignited (the ignition point of biomass is generally 400 - 600 °C); during the heating process, judge whether it is ignited according to the change of the temperature at the first temperature measurement point 31; after ignition, control the temperature supplied by the first branch pipe 3 to gradually decrease to 100 °C within 10 min and then turn off the heater, and the air supply volume of the first branch pipe 3 also gradually decreases to the working condition requirement, and the furnace startup is completed.

[0044] S4. Close the first branch pipe 3 and supply oxygen to the combustion chamber 5 by using the second branch pipe 4 so that the gas passes through the cooling section. While supplying oxygen to the combustion chamber 5, cool the ash material after smoldering in the cooling section, and at the same time drive the temperature of the ash material upward to the mixture above it to dry it.

[0045] S5. The detection unit detects the smoldering state in the combustion chamber. According to the detection results, it drives the corresponding ignition unit to turn on or increase the oxygen supply of the oxygen supply unit. Among them, when the second temperature measurement point in the smoldering section detects that the temperature of its corresponding area drops or the smoldering height is lower than that of the adjacent area, the second branch pipe 4 in its corresponding area is controlled to increase the oxygen supply. If it is detected that there is still no obvious change after increasing the oxygen supply, the corresponding second branch pipe 4 is closed, and the corresponding ignition unit is turned on for re-ignition. The air supply temperature of the first branch pipe 3 is quickly controlled at 600 °C within 1 - 5 minutes to blow in high-temperature air, so as to quickly make up for the combustion speed and ensure sufficient and reasonable smoldering in this area before switching to the second branch pipe 4. During operation, when it is judged that the smoldering speed in a certain area is too fast, it means that the smoldering area moves upward, then the air volume of the second branch pipe 4 is reduced to slow down the combustion speed until the smoldering area returns to normal.

[0046] Specifically, the average value of all temperature point data of each layer is calculated (calculated after excluding bad points, that is, the temperature display that differs greatly from other temperatures in the same layer is regarded as a bad point)

[0047] Among them represents the average temperature of a certain layer, corresponding layer number of valid temperature points (excluding bad points).

[0048] standard deviation of temperature calculation for a certain layer

[0049] Among them represents the standard deviation, represents the th data point, non-uniformity (discreteness) coefficient of a certain layer comparison of data discreteness.

[0050] It can be shown from the above data that the smaller the standard deviation and non-uniformity coefficient, the more concentrated the data, that is, the smaller the fluctuations in the cooling section, smoldering section, and drying section, and the better the flatness of the horizontal plane, which is an ideal working condition. The larger the standard deviation and non-uniformity (discreteness) coefficient, the more dispersed the data, that is, the larger the fluctuations in the cooling section, smoldering section, and drying section, and the worse the working condition.

[0051] deviation from the mean of each temperature point of a certain layer ; standard score ; represents the th standard score of the data point, which is used to represent the measure of the relative position of a certain number in a set of data. In this way, the measured values of each area of the four-layer temperature can be compared together, which is conducive to working condition adjustment.

[0052] The above temperature data is calculated once every ( , set by the operator interface), which can meet the requirements.

[0053] Calculation process: 1. Calculate the non-uniformity (discrete) coefficient of a certain layer ; 2. Judgment: if C ≥ 0.5 then KC = 11: Accelerating adjustment is required; if 0.2 ≤ C < 0.5 then KC = 0.50.5: Normal speed adjustment; if C < 0.2 then KC = 00: No adjustment is required; 3. Calculate the standard score of each temperature point in a certain layer

[0054] if ≥ 0.7 then K = -1-1: Decelerating adjustment; if 0.4 ≤ < 0.7 then K = 00: No adjustment is required; if < 0.4 then K = 01: Accelerating adjustment; 4. Calculate the adjustment status value of each point in each layer

[0055] In the formula The layer non-uniformity (discrete) coefficient , The layer point standard score; 5. Calculate the sum of the adjustment status values of the corresponding points of each temperature measurement point in the four layers .

[0056] Due to the slow smoldering speed, the working condition damper is adjusted periodically every ( , set by the operator interface), and only the 4 largest, second largest, second smallest, and smallest second branch pipes 4 are adjusted each time.

[0057] Calculation process: 1. Calculate the average value of the sum of the adjustment status values of the corresponding points in this cycle ; 2. Sort the values of all points in descending order; 3. Find Four second branch pipes 4 corresponding to the values with the largest, second largest, second smallest, and smallest values; 4. Adjust the corresponding four second branch pipes 4 to control the increase or decrease of the value.

[0058] S6. According to the detection result of the detection unit, part of the ash is discharged from the discharge port 12. When the second temperature measurement points in the cooling section all show that the temperature in their areas reaches the preset range, it can be manually or automatically discharged from the bottom of the combustion chamber 5.
