Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gasification furnace, concretely relates to a kind of upper suction type gasification furnace and ejector burner of anti-slagging grate using heat pipe cooling. BACKGROUND

[0002] Biomass fuel is rich in alkali metal and alkaline earth metal, which directly affects the ash melting point of biomass fuel, which is often low, and is particularly prone to slagging during direct combustion, gasification and other heat utilization processes, seriously affecting the heat exchange efficiency of heat exchange tube bundle.

[0003] Chinese invention patent with application number 202410932298.3 proposes a water-cooled anti-slagging gasification combustion air outlet structure and its control method, as shown in Figure 2 The method uses a single grate and a double grate stack combination to reduce direct contact between the ash and the local high temperature area. The ash temporarily stored in the groove 32 is cooled by the water-cooled grate surface to prevent slagging from spreading. The grate 7 is cooled by spraying water into the cooling channel 31 of the grate 7. After the gasification air exits the outlet of the grate 7, it is blown in a direction parallel to the surface of the grate 7. The downstream concave surface or groove 32 can force more air to flow from the area below the fuel 33 close to the surface of the grate 7, thereby forcing this area to become a local maximum temperature area 34, significantly reducing the local high temperature in the fuel 33, and effectively suppressing slagging. The Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the air flow direction and temperature distribution of the traditional grate, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the air flow direction and temperature of the new grate after forced air turning.

[0004] The principle of the upper suction type biomass gasification furnace is that the biomass particle fuel enters the gasification chamber through the feed device at the top of the furnace, and the gasification agent is added through the inlet at the bottom of the furnace. The direction of gas flow is opposite to the direction of fuel movement. The biomass fuel flowing downward is dried, cracked and gasified by the hot gas flowing upward, thereby obtaining combustible gas for the burner. The disadvantages of the upper suction type biomass gasification furnace are low heat value of the produced gas and high tar content, which leads to difficulties in igniting the gas and easy extinguishing.

[0005] The above existing patent provides a new idea for the air outlet mode of the grate, which can better concentrate the combustion zone of the fuel in the area close to the surface of the grate, and prevent high temperature slagging in the combustion zone by cooling the grate. However, this scheme mainly uses water cooling to cool the grate, and for equipment that does not require hot water, there is no external circulating water to cool the surface of the grate, which will inevitably cause waste, and also does not solve the shortcomings of the upper suction type biomass gasification furnace.
