Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solid waste treatment, and in particular relates to a flameless combustion furnace and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Smoldering organic solid waste disposal technology is an emerging solid waste treatment solution primarily targeting low-calorific value organic solid waste. This technology cleverly utilizes biomass fuel and porous heat storage media to achieve low-temperature, flameless combustion, allowing the combustion process to self-sustain and propagate. It combines the advantages of traditional incineration technology: rapid reaction time and complete harmlessness after ash reduction. It also offers a unique technical advantage: it can directly dispose of highly water-rich organic solid waste without pre-drying. In principle, this technology significantly reduces the energy consumption of traditional solid waste disposal technologies, effectively reducing investment and operating costs, and presents a promising future.

[0003] The furnace type currently used is cylindrical. In actual operation, solid waste, fuel and heat storage materials are mixed in a specific proportion and added to the furnace. The material is directly heated by the heating device at the ignition position in the furnace 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, the material layer presents a wavy shape and uneven distribution during the feeding process. In addition, the heating rod needs to be inserted into the interior of the material, which requires a protective device, which to a certain extent leads to low heat transfer efficiency. Various factors are intertwined, and ultimately result in the phenomenon that some waste materials cannot be completely burned. In order to solve such problems, a flameless combustion furnace and a control method are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a cone structure is provided on the top of the cavity, and the feed port is located above the apex of the cone structure.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] The flameless combustion furnace and control method according to the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, 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, the furnace body 1 and the cavity are both 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, the multiple ignition units are located at the same height, and the multiple ignition units are evenly spaced; the detection unit is provided on the inner wall of the combustion chamber 5, and the detection unit is used to detect the smoldering state in the combustion chamber 5.

[0034] In this embodiment, the combustion chamber 5 is configured as an annular structure, and a plurality of ignition units are provided inside the combustion chamber 5, thereby dispersing the cross section of the combustion chamber 5 into a plurality of small areas, which are then controlled separately by a plurality of ignition units, thereby achieving uniform ignition, avoiding incomplete smoldering, and improving ignition efficiency. In addition, since each ignition unit is responsible for a relatively small area, the ignition unit only needs to ignite on one side of its corresponding area, without having to be inserted into the material, thereby reducing the high temperature damage to the ignition unit and increasing the service life of the ignition unit. A detection unit is used to detect the smoldering situation in the combustion chamber 5, and the corresponding ignition units are controlled to perform secondary ignition operations according to the detection results, thereby achieving timely processing in the state of incomplete local smoldering, avoiding the situation where there is unsmoldered ash in the discharged material, and ensuring the completeness of smoldering.

[0035] The furnace body 1 and the cavity are both cylindrical.

[0036] 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 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the areas of the regions corresponding to the ignition units are made the same, thereby reducing the time difference for complete smoldering of the regions and improving the overall working efficiency.

[0038] 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 to a first control valve. The two ends of the first branch pipe 3 are respectively connected to the main flow pipe 2 and the combustion chamber 5, so as to transmit 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.

[0039] In this embodiment, when ignition is required, the first control valve and the heater are opened to direct the gas in the main flow pipe 2 to the combustion chamber 5, and the gas is heated to achieve the ignition effect. After the ignition is completed, the heater can be controlled to be turned off and oxygen can continue to be supplied to the combustion chamber 5. The heater is an electromagnetic heater, which uses the electromagnetic principle to heat the first branch pipe 3. It has a simple structure and can directly apply hot air to the material. The heating speed is fast, which improves the heating efficiency, so as to quickly ignite and subsequently quickly adjust the biased burning situation.

[0040] The oxygen supply unit also includes multiple second branch pipes 4, which are connected to a second control valve. The two ends of the second branch pipes 4 are respectively connected to the main flow pipe 2 and the combustion chamber 5. The multiple second branch pipes 4 are evenly spaced around the circumference of the combustion chamber 5. The multiple second branch pipes 4 are located at the same height. The second branch pipes 4 are located below the ignition unit. The second control valve can control the air intake of the second branch pipe 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second branch pipe 4 is used to supply oxygen to the combustion chamber 5, and in the process of supplying oxygen, 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 heat is used to smolder the material above the first branch pipe 3 and dry the material at the upper end of the combustion chamber 5, thereby reducing the demand for material dryness and saving the step of pre-drying treatment.

[0042] 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 each include multiple second temperature measurement points, and the multiple second temperature measurement points are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the combustion chamber 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, in the vertical direction, the first branch pipe 3, the second branch pipe 4, and the second temperature measurement point correspond to each other; the number of the first branch pipe 3 is , ; The number of the first branch pipe 3 can be adjusted appropriately; The outer radius of the combustion chamber 5 is The unitless value of the unit.

[0044] The second branch pipe 4 is located about 0.2 , which plays the role of normal smoldering oxygen supply and cooling ash for the normal air inlet; the first branch pipe 3 is located about 0.6 It is used to provide high-temperature hot air for ignition when starting the furnace and to supplement heat when the working conditions are poor.

[0045] Based on the radius of the combustion chamber 5 and the processing capacity, the required material height can be calculated as:

[0046]

[0047] In the formula Height of smoldering material , Daily mixture processing volume , Smoldering furnace outer radius , Smoldering furnace inner circle radius , Density of the mixture .

[0048] Smoldering disposal rate ;

[0049] In the formula Smoldering disposal rate , Daily mixture processing volume , Smoldering furnace outer radius , Smoldering furnace inner circle radius , Density of the mixture , Actual smoldering time of the material , yes The unitless value of .

[0050] 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; the first temperature measurement group 61 is located 5-8 meters above the bottom of the cooling section. The second temperature measuring group 62 and the third temperature measuring group 63 are both located in the smoldering section, and the second temperature measuring group 62 is located above the first branch pipe 3 2 The third temperature measurement group 63 is located above the second temperature measurement group 62. The left and right positions are suitable, that is, the height of the smoldering section is controlled at 2 It is used to detect the smoldering area in the smoldering section, evaluate the smoldering layer position of the material, and promptly discover the phenomenon of partial burning; the fourth temperature measurement group 64 is located in the drying section, 5-8 meters above the smoldering section. Position, detect the pyrolysis effect and drying degree of the material in the drying section.

[0051] 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 the ignition units and corresponds one to one.

[0052] In this embodiment, a one-to-one correspondence is provided to facilitate detection of specific off-center burning locations and rapid implementation of corresponding improvement measures.

[0053] The cavity can be understood as a tube body, which is the inner wall of the combustion chamber 5. A cone structure is formed on the top of the cavity, which seals the upper end of the tube body. The feed port 11 is located above the apex of the cone structure.

[0054] In this embodiment, it is convenient to disperse the materials, so that the materials in the annular combustion chamber 5 are distributed more evenly, and the structure is simple, the occupied area is small, and the volume of the flameless combustion furnace is reduced.

[0055] A method for controlling a flameless combustion furnace, using the above-mentioned flameless combustion furnace, comprises the following steps:

[0056] S1. Add fuel into the combustion chamber 5 so that the fuel covers and is higher than the ignition unit; first add the heat storage material so that the height of the heat storage material is flush with the lower surface of the first branch pipe 3, thereby avoiding the presence of unsmoldering materials in the area below the first branch pipe 3 and improving the completeness of the smoldering; then fill in some fuel and make the fuel have a certain height to increase the ignition speed during the initial ignition and dry the subsequent mixture above it.

[0057] S2. Add a mixture of heat storage material, fuel and solid waste in stages above the fuel; the heat storage material can be sand and gravel, and the fuel can be biomass.

[0058] S3. Use the ignition unit to supply high-temperature hot air into the combustion chamber 5 to cause the fuel to smolder and simultaneously dry the mixture above the fuel. After ignition is completed, the ignition unit is turned off. During this process, the second branch pipe 4 is closed. Specifically, turn on the heater and control the temperature of the air supplied from the first branch pipe 3 to approximately 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, this step is controlled to take place within 30-60 minutes to dry the fuel and mixture. Then, increase the heater power to control the temperature of the air supplied from the first branch pipe 3 to 600°C within 30-60 minutes, and keep it above 500°C for at least 10 minutes, so that the fuel can ignite (the ignition point of biomass is generally 400-600°C). During the heating process, determine whether the fuel has ignited based on the temperature change of the first temperature measurement point 31. After ignition, control the temperature of the air supplied from the first branch pipe 3 to gradually decrease to 100°C within 10 minutes, then turn off the heater and gradually reduce the air supply from the first branch pipe 3 to the operating requirements, completing the furnace startup.

[0059] S4. Close the first branch pipe 3 and use the second branch pipe 4 to supply oxygen to the combustion chamber 5 so that the gas passes through the cooling section. While supplying oxygen to the combustion chamber 5, the smoldering ash in the cooling section is cooled, and the temperature of the ash is driven toward the mixture above to dry it.

[0060] S5. The detection unit detects the smoldering state in the combustion chamber, and drives the corresponding ignition unit to open or increase the oxygen supply of the oxygen supply unit according to the detection result; wherein, when the second temperature measuring point of 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 of the 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. Within 1 to 5 minutes, the air supply temperature of the first branch pipe 3 is quickly controlled to 600℃ and high-temperature air is blown in. In this way, the combustion speed is quickly replenished to ensure sufficient smoldering in the area and then switch to the second branch pipe 4 after it is reasonable; when it is judged that the smoldering speed of a certain area is too fast during operation, it means that the smoldering area has moved upward, and the air volume of the second branch pipe 4 is reduced to slow down the combustion speed until the smoldering area is normal.

[0061] Specifically, the average value of all temperature points in each layer is calculated (after removing bad points, that is, the temperature display is extremely different from other temperatures in the same layer is considered a bad point).

[0062]

[0066] The uneven (dispersion) coefficient of a certain layer Comparison of the degree of data dispersion.

[0067] The above data shows that the smaller the standard deviation and nonuniformity coefficient, the more concentrated the data. This means that the fluctuations in the cooling, smoldering, and drying sections are smaller, and the horizontal surface is smoother, indicating an ideal operating condition. The larger the standard deviation and nonuniformity (dispersion) coefficient, the more dispersed the data. This means that the fluctuations in the cooling, smoldering, and drying sections are greater, indicating worse operating conditions.

[0071] The above temperature data is calculated periodically every N1min (N1≥1, set by the operator interface) to meet the needs.

[0085] Due to the slow smoldering speed, the operating damper adjustment frequency is periodically adjusted once every N2min (N2≥5, set by the operator interface), and each adjustment only adjusts the largest, second largest, second smallest, and smallest four second branches 4.

[0086] Calculation process:
