Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of biomass circulating fluidized bed boilers, specifically relating to a biomass circulating fluidized bed boiler feeder adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] A circulating fluidized bed boiler system typically consists of a furnace, separator, return feeder, tail-end heating surface, and auxiliary equipment. The furnace, separator, and return feeder form a material circulation system. Fine solid particles carried out of the furnace by the flue gas are separated by the separator and then returned to the furnace by the return feeder for recirculation and combustion, thereby improving the boiler's combustion efficiency. Its function is to ensure the transport of circulating material from the negative pressure zone to the positive pressure zone, while also ensuring that the flue gas sealed in the furnace flows back through the fly ash circulation loop to the separator.
[0003] A return feeder typically consists of a circular cross-section descending section (vertical pipe), a rectangular ascending section, and a return pipe connected sequentially. The descending section is connected to the separator, and the return pipe is connected to the furnace. A tongue plate is provided between the descending and ascending sections, and their lower parts are connected. An overflow weir is provided between the ascending section and the return pipe, and their upper parts are connected. A return bed is set at the bottom of the descending and ascending sections, and a return air chamber is set at the bottom of the return bed. The high-temperature circulating ash collected from the high-temperature separator is accumulated to a certain height in the return feeder's vertical pipe and sealed to prevent furnace flue gas from flowing back into the separator. During operation, a return fan introduces fluidizing air at the bottom of the return bed. The loosening air blown out by the air distribution plate and the return air fluidize the material collected by the separator. Under the action of the pressure difference between the vertical pipe and the furnace, a large amount of high-temperature circulating ash collected by the separator is continuously returned to the furnace.
[0004] When ash flows through the riser of the return feeder with a small diameter, it can cause sedimentation, leading to ash coking and bridging, which can cause blockage of the return feeder and affect the normal operation of the boiler. In addition, since most of the existing U-shaped return feeders have relatively uniform air caps on the bed, and the return air is sent in from one side, there will inevitably be a situation where the pressure on the left side of the air chamber is lower than that on the right side. In other words, the air output of the left air cap is less than that of the right side. After six months or more of operation, the aperture of the air cap is worn larger, and the situation where the pressure on the left side of the air chamber is lower than that on the right side becomes more prominent. When the pressure on the left side drops to a certain level, ash will accumulate on the upper part and the inner side of the baffle of the U-shaped return feeder.
[0005] In view of the above factors, a biomass circulating fluidized bed boiler return feeder adjustment device is provided. The independent side blowing pipe bypass plays a driving role in the operation of the fluidized bed return feeder and the control and adjustment of the solid particle circulation volume, providing the main driving force for the solid particles to pass through the orifice. The return feeder body is actually composed of two functionally independent parts, including a fluidizing air chamber and a return air chamber. The fluidizing air chamber ensures and enhances the fluidization ability of the material, making the material more like a fluid with flowing characteristics. The return air chamber ensures that the pressure loss of the material from the air cap to the inlet of the inclined tube in the furnace is overcome, ensuring that the material can smoothly enter the inlet of the inclined tube and then enter the furnace. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a regulating device for a biomass circulating fluidized bed boiler feeder, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a biomass circulating fluidized bed boiler return feeder adjustment device, including a return feeder body, the return feeder body is composed of two functionally independent air chamber parts, the air chamber parts include a fluidization air chamber and a return air chamber, the discharge inclined pipe of the return feeder body is fixedly connected to the circulating fluidized bed boiler, and the vertical pipe on the return feeder body is connected to a cyclone separator.
[0008] The return material unit body includes a drive adjustment structure, which includes a fluidizing air duct and a return material duct respectively connected to the fluidizing air chamber and the return material air chamber.
[0009] The drive adjustment structure also includes an independent side blowing pipe bypass, which is fed into the return material body from the side of the fluidizing air duct.
[0010] Furthermore, the fluidizing air duct and the return air duct are introduced from the bottom of the return material body, and the fluidizing air duct and the return air duct are respectively connected to an external fan;
[0011] The fluidizing air chamber and the return air chamber are respectively equipped with air distribution plates, and air caps are provided on the air distribution plates. The fluidizing air duct and the return air duct are equipped with regulating valves.
[0012] The independent side-blowing pipe bypass is located on one side of the fluidizing air chamber of the return material body.
[0013] Furthermore, a partition is provided on the body of the return feeder, the partition including a first partition and a second partition, the first partition being close to the riser and aligned with the boundary of the air distribution plate on the fluidizing air duct;
[0014] The second baffle extends upward on one side of the discharge inclined tube.
[0015] Furthermore, the upper end face of the second partition is on the same horizontal line as the lower end face of the first partition;
[0016] Alternatively, the upper surface of the second partition and the lower surface of the first partition may not be on the same horizontal line.
[0017] Furthermore, the return air chamber corresponding to the discharge slant pipe is provided with an inclined surface.
[0018] Furthermore, the width of the return air chamber is twice the width of the fluidization air chamber.
[0019] Furthermore, rotor flow meters are installed on the fluidizing air duct and the return air duct;
[0020] A rotor flow meter is installed on the bypass of the independent side blow pipe.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] The main body of this utility model's return feeder is actually composed of two functionally independent parts: a fluidizing air chamber and a return air chamber. The fluidizing air chamber ensures and enhances the fluidization capability of the material, making it flow more like a fluid. The return air chamber ensures that the pressure loss from the height of the material from the air cap to the inlet of the inclined tube in the furnace is overcome, ensuring that the material can smoothly enter the inclined tube inlet and then enter the furnace. The power for material return in the return feeder body comes from the different air distribution in the rising section and the falling section of the return feeder, so that the rising section and the falling section present different fluidization states.
[0023] The independent side-blowing bypass of this invention plays a driving role in the operation of the fluidized bed return feeder and the control and adjustment of the solid particle circulation volume. It provides the main driving force for the solid particles to pass through the orifice. For the flow of solid particles through the orifice, the blowing of the independent side-blowing bypass works in coordination with the air chamber. By adjusting the air volume of the independent side-blowing bypass, the return feeder can be operated stably.
[0024] This utility model features air distribution plates installed in the fluidized air chamber and the return air chamber, with air caps on the air distribution plates. Regulating valves are installed on the fluidized air duct and the return air duct. The aforementioned regulating valves adjust the air volume of the fluidized air chamber and the return air chamber, working in conjunction with the independent side-blowing pipe bypass to promote the material to enter the biomass circulating fluidized bed boiler through the discharge inclined pipe.
