Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mixing device, and more particularly to a device for uniformly mixing multiple streams of gas in a gasifier. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some gasifiers use simple pipe connections to mix multiple gas streams. This method merely combines pipes from different gas sources, lacking effective disturbance and mixing mechanisms within the pipes. Each gas stream often enters the gasifier furnace as a relatively independent stream, making sufficient diffusion and fusion difficult. This results in uneven gas distribution within the furnace, preventing the gasification reaction from proceeding in a homogeneous gaseous environment. For example, the concentration of a certain gas may be too high in some areas and too low in others, affecting the reaction process, reducing efficiency, and potentially leading to unstable product quality and significant compositional deviations. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a device with a reasonable design, high mixing efficiency, and uniform mixing of multiple gases in a gasifier, which addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A device for uniformly mixing multiple streams of gas in a gasifier is characterized in that the device is located at the gas inlet of the gasifier and includes a mixing tank and an inlet manifold. The inlet manifold consists of a main annular pipe arranged circumferentially along the mixing tank and multiple branch pipes connected to the main annular pipe.

[0006] The mixing tank has a tank body, with an outlet at the top connected to the gasifier furnace, an inlet at the bottom connected to the annular main pipe, a flow-turbing mechanism at the bottom, and a Pall ring packing layer in the middle.

[0007] The turbulence-disrupting mechanism includes several guide plates arranged horizontally along the radial direction of the tank body, with the guide plates spiraling upwards or downwards along the inner wall of the tank body.

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be achieved through the following technical solution: each branch pipe is equipped with a flow regulating valve for precisely controlling the intake air volume and a one-way valve for preventing gas backflow.

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be achieved through the following technical solution: the Pall ring packing layer includes a number of Pall rings and a bracket for placing the Pall rings. The bracket consists of a lower support plate, an upper pressure plate and a connecting rod connecting the upper pressure plate and the lower support plate. A ring of overlapping plates for supporting the lower support plate is fixed on the inner wall of the tank.

[0010] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be achieved through the following technical solution: the guide plate is arranged in a fan shape, and the radius of the fan-shaped guide plate is greater than or equal to the radius of the tank.

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be achieved through the following technical solution: each branch pipe is provided with an air inlet pipe section and an air outlet pipe section connected to the tank body, and the annular main pipe is located between the air inlet pipe section and the air outlet pipe section, and both the air inlet pipe section and the air outlet pipe section are arranged along the circumference of the annular main pipe.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this invention, by incorporating an inlet gas collecting pipe with a ring-shaped main pipe, allows multiple gas streams to enter the mixing tank from different directions, increasing the contact opportunities between gases. Furthermore, by adding a flow-disrupting mechanism and a Pall ring packing layer, the gas flow direction is further disrupted, creating a complex flow field within the mixing tank. This achieves thorough and uniform mixing of multiple gas streams, improving the efficiency and stability of the gasification reaction. The overall structure of this invention is relatively simple, without complex mechanical parts, reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty. The design of the mixing tank and its components facilitates disassembly and cleaning, allowing for regular maintenance and extending the device's service life. Attached Figure Description
