Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a double-chamber kiln blower device. Background Technology

[0002] A double-chamber vertical kiln has two cylinders connected by a connecting channel located between them. The advantages of a double-chamber kiln are parallel flow and heat storage. "Parallel flow" means that during the calcination of the coal gas in the combustion cylinder, the coal gas, combustion air, and limestone flow downwards side-by-side, and the combustion flue gas also flows downwards, which is beneficial for producing high-quality active lime. "Heat storage" refers to the fact that the high-temperature flue gas—the fuel combustion products—enters the heat storage chamber through the connecting channel between the two kiln cylinders. In the heat storage chamber, the high-temperature flue gas flows upwards, transferring heat to the limestone raw material in the preheating zone, preheating the stone to a higher temperature. Simultaneously, the high-temperature exhaust gas, after heat exchange, cools down and is discharged into the atmosphere through a flue gas bag filter.

[0003] During combustion operation, the two kiln cylinders of the double-chamber kiln enter a "reversal period" every 12-14 minutes. Through valve operation, the functions of the combustion kiln cylinder and the regenerator kiln cylinder are switched; that is, while one kiln cylinder is in calcination mode, the other is in regenerator mode. Under normal conditions, the system supplies a large amount of coal gas and combustion air to the combustion chamber to ensure normal combustion, while the flue gas dust collector ensures a negative pressure environment at the top of the regenerator chamber. Therefore, the pressure in the combustion chamber is always higher than that in the regenerator chamber, allowing the high-temperature flue gas to flow smoothly into the regenerator chamber, achieving heat storage.

[0004] During the reversal period, the combustion air release valve and cooling air release valve open, allowing the airflow inside the kiln to be released to the atmosphere. However, the combustion air fan and cooling air fan maintain their original speeds during the reversal, resulting in the fans running idle. The daily reversal time for the double-chamber kiln is 45-100 seconds, with a cumulative cycle of 100 cycles. The total reversal time for each kiln per day is 4500-10000 seconds, or 1.25-2.78 hours.

[0005] Therefore, the current operation mode of double-chamber kilns results in significant energy waste. Utility Model Content

The connection position between the combustion air branch pipe 15 and the first combustion air pipe 17 is located between the first combustion air electric valve 13 and the first combustion air blower 1. The connection position between the combustion air branch pipe 15 and the second combustion air pipe 19 is located between the second combustion air electric valve 16 and the second combustion air blower 2.

[0034] It should be noted that before the first double-chamber kiln 7 and the second double-chamber kiln 8 are put into operation, the first double-chamber kiln 7 and the second double-chamber kiln 8 are set with the same combustion time and reversal time, and the reversal start time of the two kilns differs by more than 30 seconds.

[0035] The first double-chamber kiln 7 and the second double-chamber kiln 8 each have a first chamber 11 and a second chamber 10, which are connected. The first combustion air pipe 17 and the second combustion air pipe 19 are used to transport combustion air 22 into the first double-chamber kiln 7 and the second double-chamber kiln 8, respectively. The first cooling air pipe 6 and the second cooling air pipe 5 are used to transport cooling air 9 into the first double-chamber kiln 7 and the second double-chamber kiln 8, respectively.

[0036] A first combustion air flow meter 20 is installed on the first combustion air duct 17. The first combustion air flow meter 20 is located between the first combustion air release valve 12 and the first double-chamber kiln 7. The first combustion air flow meter 20 is interlocked with the first combustion air fan 1 to stabilize the air supply speed of the first combustion air fan 1 and the first cooling fan 3.

[0037] A second combustion air flow meter 21 is installed on the second combustion air duct 19. The second combustion air flow meter 21 is located between the second combustion air release valve 18 and the second double-chamber kiln 8. The second combustion air flow meter 21 is interlocked with the second combustion air fan 2 to stabilize the air supply speed of the second combustion air fan 2 and the second cooling fan 4.

[0038] The first double-chamber kiln 7 is connected to the first cooling fan 3. The first cooling fan 3 and the first double-chamber kiln 7 are connected through the first cooling air duct 6. The first cooling air duct 6 is equipped with the first cooling air electric valve 26.

[0042] A third cooling air electric valve 24 is installed on the cooling air branch pipe 23.

[0043] When the first double-chamber kiln 7 and the second double-chamber kiln 8 are in production, the third combustion air electric valve 14 and the third cooling air electric valve 24 are in the closed state, while the first combustion air electric valve 13, the second combustion air electric valve 16, the first cooling air electric valve 26 and the second cooling air electric valve 25 are in the open state. The first combustion air electric valve 13, the second combustion air electric valve 16, the first cooling fan 3 and the second cooling fan 4 all normally send air into the kiln.

[0044] After combustion in the first chamber 11 of the first double-chamber kiln 7 is completed and the first double-chamber kiln 7 is in the reversing state, the first combustion air release valve, the third combustion air electric valve 14, and the third cooling air electric valve 24 are in the open state, while the first combustion air electric valve 13 and the first cooling air electric valve 26 are in the closed state. The first combustion air fan 1 and the second combustion air fan 2 of the first double-chamber kiln 7 and the second double-chamber kiln 8 reduce their speed by frequency conversion, and the combustion air and cooling air are sent into the second double-chamber kiln 8 to achieve stable airflow from the fans.

[0045] When the first double-chamber kiln 7 finishes reversing and enters the combustion time, the first combustion air release valve 12 of the first double-chamber kiln 7 closes, the third combustion air electric valve 14 closes, the third cooling air electric valve 24 closes, the first combustion air electric valve 13 opens, and the first cooling air electric valve 26 opens. The first combustion air fan 1 and the second combustion air fan 2 of the first double-chamber kiln 7 and the second double-chamber kiln 8 increase their operating speed through frequency conversion, and the combustion air and cooling air are sent into the first double-chamber kiln 7 to achieve stable fan airflow.

[0046] The valves mentioned in the above embodiments can be pneumatic or hydraulically powered, and driven by electric control to ensure rapid valve response.

[0047] Through the above-described structure (combustion air branch pipe 15, cooling air branch pipe 23) and operating mode, energy waste caused by exhaust during fan reversal is effectively avoided. Assuming each kiln has 3 combustion air fans (160 kW / h) and 3 cooling air fans (132 kW / h), it is estimated that daily electricity savings will be 3 units × (160 kW / h + 132 kW / h) × 24 hours × 0.6 yuan / kWh = 12,600 yuan. Each system can reduce costs by 4,604,300 yuan annually. Simultaneously, by installing this device, kiln fans can be used as backups for each other, reducing the kiln equipment failure rate.
