Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gasifiers, in particular to a combined fixed-bed gasifier. Background Art
[0002] The advantage of an updraft gasifier is that the alkali metal content in the fuel gas is very low, but the tar content is high, the fuel gas temperature is low, ignition and stable combustion are difficult, and the tar easily condenses on the wall and pipeline area, causing problems such as blockage and corrosion.
[0003] The advantages of downdraft gasifiers are low tar content and, because the gas outlet temperature is high, ignition and stable combustion are not difficult. However, the disadvantage is that the alkali metal content of the gas produced by downdraft gasifiers is much higher than that of updraft gasifiers, which can easily lead to dust accumulation on the heat exchange surfaces of downstream heat-using equipment, affecting heat transfer efficiency. In addition, the gas produced by downdraft gasifiers often needs to be cooled before use. However, because the waste heat of the gas is difficult to recover (tar easily condenses on the heat exchange surfaces), heat energy is lost.
[0004] In addition, both updraft and downdraft gasifiers are fixed-bed gasifiers. Compared with fluidized-bed gasifiers that can complete the gasification process within the entire tall and slender furnace space, their gasification intensity is relatively low, resulting in lower gas production under the same floor area.

[0030] The biomass pellet fuel 36 enters the upper furnace 2 and the lower furnace 3 respectively through the feed pipe 5, and gradually moves downward as the fuel 36 is consumed. After passing through the drying layer and the retorting layer in turn, it falls into the oxidation layer to mix and burn with the gasifying agent, and then continues to move downward to the reduction layer. After burning out, it falls into the ash hopper 6 below the furnace body 1 through the ash outlet between the grate gaps and is discharged through the slag discharge pipe 10; the gasifying agent enters the furnace body 1 through the gasification air duct of the grate, and after mixing with the fuel 36, it produces pyrolysis, oxidation, reduction and reforming reactions at high temperature. Through the action of the gasifying agent (such as air, oxygen or water vapor), the biomass polymers are decomposed to generate small molecular hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane and other gases, which are output from the gas outlet pipe 17 of the furnace body 1 for use by subsequent equipment.
[0031] An upper grate 11 is provided in the upper furnace 2. There are several upper grates 11, which are arranged in parallel at intervals in the upper furnace 2. The upper grate 11 is provided with an upper gasification air duct 1101, an upper water-cooling channel 1102 and a grate upper plate 1103.

The lower gasification air duct 1201 is provided with a lower gasification air outlet 1203. The lower gasification air outlet 120 3 is arranged perpendicular to the lower gasification air duct 1201. A plurality of lower gasification air outlets 1203 are provided, which are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the lower gasification air duct 1201, pass through the lower water-cooling channel 1202, and finally communicate with the annular gap between the lower grate 12. A deflector 1204 is provided on the outer side of the lower gasification air outlet 1203, and the deflector 1204 is arranged parallel to the side wall of the lower grate 12 at that location. A plurality of grooves 22 are provided on the surface of the lower grate 12 at intervals, and the grooves 22 are vertically arranged on the side wall of the lower grate 12.
[0033] like Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the surfaces of the upper grate 11 and the lower grate 12 are both provided with grooves 22, which are arranged along the outlet direction of the gasification air, and the grooves 22 have a guiding effect on the gasification air; an air guide plate 1105 is provided above the upper gasification air outlet 1104, and a deflector 1204 is provided on the outer side of the lower gasification air outlet 1203, and the air guide plate 1105 and the deflector 1204 have a forced deflection effect on the gasification air, so that the air blown out from the gasification air outlet is blown out along the grooves 22 on the grate surface, prompting more air to flow through the area close to the grate surface, thereby forcing this area to become the local highest temperature area 37, which is convenient for the grate to quickly cool down and prevent the generation of high-temperature slagging; avoid the gasification air from being blown out in a direction perpendicular to the grate surface like a traditional gasifier, so that the area far away from the grate surface generates high temperature, and the cooling medium in the cooling channel 35 cannot dissipate heat in time, resulting in high-temperature slagging.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a blower 13 is provided on the side of the furnace body 1, and the blower 13 is connected to the air inlet main pipe 14, and the air inlet main pipe 14 is respectively connected to the upper gasification air duct 1101 and the lower gasification air duct 1201; a cooling water pump 15 is also provided on the side of the furnace body 1, and the cooling water pump 15 is connected to the water inlet main pipe 16, and the water inlet main pipe 16 is respectively connected to the upper water cooling channel 1102 and the lower water cooling channel 1202; the outlet of the lower water cooling channel 1202 is connected to the return pipe 32 for collecting cooling water; the upper part of the upper furnace 2 and the lower part of the lower furnace 3 are respectively connected to gas outlet pipes 17, and the two gas outlet pipes 17 are connected to the gas high-temperature booster fan 19 after merging at the gas merging pipe 18, and the gas high-temperature booster fan 19 transports the gas to the equipment that needs to use the gas.
[0035] After being pressurized by the blower 13, the gasified air is divided into two paths at the air inlet main pipe 14. One path enters the upper gasification air duct 1101 of each upper grate 11 through the upper air inlet branch pipe 20, and is finally blown out through the upper gasification air outlet 1104. At high temperature, the fuel 36 is decomposed, and the generated combustible gas is then output through the gas outlet pipe 17 of the furnace body 1; the other path enters the lower gasification air duct 1201 of each lower grate 12 through the lower air inlet branch pipe 24, and is finally blown out through the lower gasification air outlet 1203. At high temperature, the fuel 36 is decomposed, and the generated combustible gas is then output through the gas outlet pipe 17 of the furnace body 1.
[0036] The blower 13 and the cooling water pump 15 provide combustion-supporting air and cooling water for the upper furnace 2 and the lower furnace 3 respectively. The upper furnace 2 and the lower furnace 3 share a set of air supply and water supply devices, which saves costs and can ensure that the two are opened and closed at the same time. The upper furnace 2 and the lower furnace 3 operate synchronously, and both produce gas at the same time. Under the same floor area, the gas production is greater, and it is more suitable for use in places with large-displacement gas supply; the high-temperature fuel gas produced by the down-draft gasification furnace is mixed from bottom to top with the low-temperature fuel gas produced by the up-draft gasification furnace from top to bottom in the gas junction pipe 18, and the two realize heat transfer, cool the high-temperature fuel gas produced by the down-draft gasification furnace, and heat the low-temperature fuel gas produced by the up-draft gasification furnace. The two complement each other and output fuel gas with suitable temperature, which is easy to ignite and burn stably, so as to fully utilize the heat.
[0037] Furthermore, several upper grates 11 are fixedly mounted on a bracket made of an upper air inlet branch pipe 20, the inlet of the upper air inlet branch pipe 20 is connected to the air inlet main pipe 14 through a flexible pipe 21, and the outlet of the upper air inlet branch pipe 20 is connected to the upper gasification air duct 1101 to provide gasification agent for the upper furnace 2; a roller 25 is provided at the lower part of the upper air inlet branch pipe 20, and a guide rail 26 is provided below the roller 25, the upper air inlet branch pipe 20 is connected to a straight push rod 27, the straight push rod 27 is connected to a guide sleeve 28, the straight push rod 27 is connected to a crank connecting rod 29, and the crank connecting rod 29 is connected to a reciprocating motor 30; the upper air inlet branch pipe 20 is driven by the reciprocating motor 30 to carry the upper grate 11 to do reciprocating motion, thereby eliminating fuel 36 bridging and facilitating slag breaking and ash discharge.
[0038] Accordingly, when the upper grate 11 reciprocates, the upper water inlet branch pipe 31 connected thereto also reciprocates, and thus, the connection between the upper water inlet branch pipe 31 and the water inlet main pipe 16 should also be connected with a flexible pipe 21 .
