Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ash discharge systems for double-chamber kilns, and in particular to a novel ash discharge system for double-chamber kilns. Background Technology
[0002] The process of calcining limestone raw materials into finished lime involves passing through a storage zone, a preheating zone, a calcination zone, and a cooling zone within the kiln. An ash discharge device is located below the cooling zone, through which the cooled finished lime is discharged, yielding the desired lime product. Traditional double-chamber kiln ash discharge devices involve connecting a chute to the outlet of the lime hopper, through which the finished lime is discharged. The disadvantage of this method is that the entire ash discharge device is open, and the dust generated during the ash discharge process causes serious pollution to the surrounding environment. To control dust pollution during the ash discharge process, additional air purification devices are required.
[0003] A search revealed a double-chamber kiln ash discharge system (application number CN201721282725.X), specifically an energy-saving and environmentally friendly double-chamber kiln ash discharge system. This system includes a double-chamber kiln, a buffer cooling rack, a discharge channel, a clean hot air outlet pipe, a discharge channel cooling air device, a discharge channel cooling air device control valve, an inlet air pipe, an inlet air pipe control valve, a buffer cooling rack air pipe, a buffer cooling rack air pipe control valve, and a fan. The ash discharge device is installed at the lower part of the double-chamber kiln, with the buffer cooling rack located above the lower discharge channel. Material passes through the buffer cooling rack and falls into the discharge channel, thus entering the material conveying equipment outside the system. Compared to existing double-chamber kiln ash discharge systems, this invention's ash discharge channel operates without power, relying solely on gravity. This significantly improves material cooling efficiency, reduces the emission of hot gases containing impurities within the kiln, generates clean hot air that can be used in other systems, lowers electrical control requirements, and is both environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
[0004] The ash discharge system of a double-chamber kiln in the prior art has low thermal efficiency during use: the single-stage cooling structure leads to insufficient heat recovery, and a large amount of medium and low temperature waste heat is directly discharged, resulting in energy waste; material thermal damage: the rapid cooling process easily causes excessive temperature difference between the surface and the interior of the material, resulting in increased breakage rate, affecting the uniformity of finished product quality, and poor practicality.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a novel double-chamber kiln ash discharge system. Utility Model Content
[0006] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art and provide a novel double-chamber kiln ash discharge system.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a novel double-chamber kiln ash discharge system, comprising a double-chamber kiln, a discharge channel, a clean hot air outlet pipe, a buffer cooling rack air pipe, and a discharge channel cooling air device. A buffer cooling rack is detachably installed at the bottom outlet of the double-chamber kiln. The discharge channel is located below the buffer cooling rack and connected to its outlet end. The clean hot air outlet pipe includes a high-temperature hot air collection hood, a medium-temperature hot air recovery branch pipe, an intelligent fan unit, and an integrated airflow control module. The high-temperature hot air collection hood is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the double-chamber kiln and located above the buffer cooling rack. The medium-temperature hot air recovery branch pipe is fixedly connected to the discharge channel cooling air device. At the rear end of the device, the intelligent fan unit includes a dual-frequency conversion motor and a wind pressure sensor connected to the central controller. This sensor is used to adjust the output air volume based on the wind pressure data. The dual-frequency conversion motor of the intelligent fan unit adopts a vector control mode and responds to the wind pressure sensor data in real time to compensate for pipeline resistance fluctuations. The integrated air volume control module consists of a control valve for the cooling air device in the discharge channel, a control valve for the air duct in the kiln, and a control valve for the air duct in the buffer cooling rack. Each valve is connected to the central controller via a bus. The buffer cooling rack is equipped with a wave-shaped guide plate and a honeycomb pressure equalization grid. A swirl jet is installed at the outlet end of the air duct in the kiln. A multi-hole jet pipe array is arranged on the inner wall of the cooling air device in the discharge channel.
[0008] Furthermore, the primary cooling zone of the buffer cooling rack is configured to reduce the material temperature by 30%-40%, the angle between the corrugated guide plate and the horizontal plane is 45°-60°, and the aperture of the honeycomb pressure equalizing grid is 1.2-1.5 times the average particle size of the material.
[0009] Furthermore, the tangential incident angle of the swirling jet is 15°-30°, and its jet gas velocity is 8m / s-12m / s, which is used to enable the low-temperature air and the falling material to form a counter-convective heat exchange.
[0010] Furthermore, the aperture of the multi-hole spray tube array gradually decreases from Φ5mm to Φ2mm along the material movement direction, and the spacing between adjacent holes is 2-3 times the aperture.
[0011] Furthermore, the control valve of the cooling air device in the discharge channel includes a pressure-compensating diaphragm, and its airflow adjustment range is 0m. 3 / h-1200m 3 / h, linearity error not exceeding ±2.5%.
[0012] Furthermore, the hot air temperature output by the high-temperature hot air collection hood is 300℃-400℃, and the hot air temperature output by the medium-temperature hot air recovery branch pipe is 80℃-120℃, with a heat quality difference between the two greater than or equal to 220℃.
[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the corrugated guide plate is provided with a tungsten carbide wear-resistant coating with a thickness of 0.3mm-0.5mm and a surface roughness Ra≤1.6μm.
[0014] This invention provides a novel ash discharge system for a double-chamber kiln. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This novel double-chamber kiln ash discharge system, during operation, utilizes the coordinated components of the double-chamber kiln, buffer cooling rack, cyclone jetter, multi-hole jet pipe array, discharge channel, high-temperature hot air collection hood, and medium-temperature hot air recovery branch pipe. Upon starting the double-chamber kiln, material enters the buffer cooling rack at a flow rate of 10 t / h. After primary cooling, the temperature drops from 850℃ to 520℃. 25℃ air is introduced through the kiln inlet air pipe, forming counter-current convection through the cyclone jetter, resulting in secondary cooling and a material temperature reduction to 380℃. The multi-hole jet pipe array in the discharge channel provides final cooling through unidirectional airflow, stabilizing the material outlet temperature at 60±3℃. The high-temperature hot air collection hood outputs 350℃ hot air to the waste heat boiler, and the medium-temperature hot air recovery branch pipe outputs 95℃ hot air to the drying line, thereby improving the system's overall thermal efficiency and waste heat recovery rate; reducing the standard deviation of the material temperature gradient; and improving particle size uniformity.
[0016] 2. This novel double-chamber kiln ash discharge system, through the coordinated operation of components such as the double-chamber kiln, intelligent fan unit, buffer cooling rack air duct control valve, etc., increases the heat load of the double-chamber kiln when the material flow rate increases. When the instantaneous deviation of the material outlet temperature exceeds the set threshold, the central controller increases the speed of the intelligent fan unit, decreases the opening of the buffer cooling rack air duct control valve, and adaptively adjusts the PID parameters. After regulation, the material outlet temperature recovers, while maintaining the high-temperature hot air output temperature fluctuation and the waste heat grade difference within a certain range, thus improving applicability.
[0017] 3. This novel double-chamber kiln ash discharge system, during use, improves the performance of the device through the cooperation of components such as the buffer cooling rack, corrugated guide plate, discharge channel, and multi-hole injection pipe array. After replacing the components, a new buffer cooling rack is installed, and the inclination angle of the corrugated guide plate and the aperture of the honeycomb pressure equalizing grid inside the new buffer cooling rack are changed. The multi-hole injection pipe array in the discharge channel is replaced with an extended array with a front aperture of Φ6mm, an end aperture of Φ3mm, and a hole spacing of 15mm±0.3mm.
