Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grate cooler technology, specifically a grate cooler with zoned air supply and heat recovery. Background Technology

[0002] The grate cooler is a crucial main equipment in the clinker calcination system of a cement plant. Its primary functions are to cool and transport cement clinker, and to provide hot air for the rotary kiln and decomposition furnace. It is also a key piece of equipment for heat recovery in the calcination system. The clinker is piled up at the fixed end of the grate cooler. Cooling fans at the fixed end draw air from both sides of the air-filled beam at the fixed end, passing through the grate gaps and then into the piled clinker. During this process, the air exchanges heat with the high-temperature clinker exiting the rotary kiln, achieving the purpose of rapidly cooling the high-temperature clinker and heating the low-temperature air. The high-temperature air after heat exchange enters the rotary kiln, providing oxygen for the combustion of pulverized coal inside the kiln.

[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN214250587U discloses a zoned air supply system for a grate cooler fixed end, relating to the field of grate cooler technology. It includes a chamber fan, a left-side air-filled beam fan, and a right-side air-filled beam fan. A concrete base is fixed to one side of the right-side air-filled beam fan, and one side of the concrete base is connected to the ground. A new centerline air-filled beam fan is fixed to the top of the ground, and the outlet end of the new centerline air-filled beam fan is connected to a second air duct. This utility model, through modification, changes the material pile at the fixed end from a pile with an angle of approximately 50° to a gently sloping arc pile. The thickness of the material in the centerline area is reduced due to the cooling and fluidization effect. Replacing the fan with a new high-efficiency fan and increasing the pressure head increases the operating current and actual air supply. Snow is less likely to form at the fixed end, and the material is better fluidized at the fixed end and in the first section, resulting in better clinker cooling and a lower clinker temperature exiting the grate cooler. Under stable kiln conditions, the secondary and tertiary air temperatures can be steadily increased. The standard coal consumption for clinker decreases after the modification.

[0004] Although the aforementioned fixed-end zoned air supply system for a grate cooler has solved the problems of uneven air distribution and poor clinker cooling by changing the material pile at the fixed end from a pile with an angle of about 50° to a gently curved pile, the above-mentioned equipment is not convenient for zoned reheating. The temperature at the head of the grate cooler is too high and can be fully utilized, while the temperature at the tail of the grate cooler is too low after air supply and is not suitable for reheating. The existing mixed reheating will affect the performance. Utility Model Content

[0016] 1. This utility model uses three step conveyor belts installed in a stepped manner to transport materials in a stepped manner. The temperature of the material can be detected by a temperature detection plate on one side of the temperature detector, thus dividing the grate cooler into three zones. The operation of the air pump can extract the hot air from the top through the air extraction cover, filter it through the filter screen, and send the hot air out through the air outlet pipe. The temperature of the gas inside the air outlet pipe can be detected by the temperature detector, which improves the practicality of the grate cooler with air supply and heat recovery in this zone.

[0017] 2. This utility model can keep the hot air inside the inner tank warm through the insulation layer between the air outlet pipe and the inner tank, and can keep the temperature inside the inner tank warm through the insulation pipe between the connecting pipe and the inner pipe. The gas can be sent into the heat exchanger for heat exchange through the connection pipe and the air outlet pipe at the tail of the grate cooler body. After heat exchange, the gas is sent into the filter device for filtration and then discharged. This improves the practicality of the grate cooler with zoned air supply and heat recovery, so as to facilitate zoned heat recovery of the grate cooler body. Attached Figure Description
