Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for recycling waste heat and purifying high temperature coal gas and flue gas in high energy consumption and emission industries face challenges such as filtering material blockage, regeneration difficulties, and low efficiency due to complex composition, high dust content, and corrosiveness, which necessitate an improved purification method.

Innovation Solution

A continuous filtering system with a moving bed particle filtering layer of adjustable thickness, featuring a feeding channel, inclined filtering channels, and an aggregate channel, where the thickness of the filtering layer can be adjusted using a movable baffle to optimize filtering efficiency and bed resistance, allowing for cross-flow and adverse-flow filtration, and incorporating a charging bell and discharge valve for efficient particle management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the filtering layer thickness is increased to improve purification effect, then the filtering efficiency is improved, but the filtering pressure increases and operation stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepurification effectVSAvoidfiltering pressure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStress or pressure

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the filtering layer thickness adjustable rather than fixed. The thickness can be dynamically changed by adding or removing particle layers, allowing the system to adapt to different operating conditions and optimize between purification efficiency and pressure drop.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The filtering layer is segmented into multiple adjustable particle layers. Each layer can be independently controlled in thickness, allowing the total filtering capacity to be optimized while maintaining reasonable pressure characteristics through distributed filtration stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the filtering layer thickness is increased to improve purification effect, then the filtering efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs self-service principles through gravity-based particle distribution and automatic layer formation. The particles naturally settle and distribute themselves into filtering layers without requiring complex mechanical assembly mechanisms, reducing system complexity while maintaining adjustable thickness capability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of filtering layer thickness to adapt to different purification requirements. By providing multiple discrete thickness options, the system achieves adaptability while keeping operation simple through straightforward layer addition or removal rather than continuous adjustment mechanisms.
