Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional chlorine bypass devices in cement manufacturing facilities face issues with coating formation on extraction pipe walls, poor mixability of cooling air and exhaust gas, and limited allowable extraction range, leading to inefficient chloride dust separation and increased chlorine concentration.

Innovation Solution

A chlorine bypass device with a cooling pipe design featuring a revolving portion surrounding the extraction pipe and an introducing portion with a reduced-diameter pipe, where cooling air flows circumferentially and is introduced through a flow inlet around the extraction pipe's circumference, ensuring efficient mixing and preventing coating formation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If cooling air is supplied into the extraction pipe to cool exhaust gas, then chloride gas condenses into chloride dust, but coating adhesion occurs on the inner wall of the extraction pipe

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexhaust gas temperatureVSAvoidcoating adhesion
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The cooling pipe is divided into two separate sections: a first cooling pipe that supplies cooling air to the extraction pipe for condensing chloride gas, and a second cooling pipe that supplies cooling air to prevent coating adhesion on the extraction pipe wall. This segmentation allows independent control of cooling functions to resolve the contradiction between condensation efficiency and coating prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The second cooling pipe acts as an intermediary by introducing cooling air at a specific location to create a protective cooling layer on the extraction pipe inner wall, preventing coating adhesion while allowing the first cooling pipe to perform the primary condensation function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If cooling air is supplied to cool exhaust gas, then chloride dust is formed, but mixability of cooling air and exhaust gas is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexhaust gas temperatureVSAvoidmixability of cooling air and exhaust gas
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The cooling air is introduced through the first cooling pipe before the exhaust gas enters the extraction pipe, creating a preliminary cooling environment that enhances subsequent mixing efficiency. The reduced-diameter pipe further accelerates this preliminary action by forcing rapid mixing at the introduction point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The reduced-diameter pipe changes the flow parameters of cooling air by reducing its cross-sectional area, which increases flow velocity and turbulence. This parameter change enhances the mixability between cooling air and exhaust gas, ensuring thorough contact for efficient chloride dust formation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If extraction ratio of exhaust gas is increased to remove chlorine, then chlorine concentration decreases, but allowable extraction range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechlorine removal amountVSAvoidallowable extraction range
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the operation of two cooling pipes based on extraction ratio conditions. The control unit activates the second cooling pipe when coating adhesion is detected or predicted, allowing the system to operate beyond traditional extraction limits while maintaining performance and preventing damage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters by selectively activating different cooling pipes based on real-time conditions. This parameter adjustment expands the allowable extraction range, allowing higher extraction ratios when needed while maintaining system reliability through adaptive cooling control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
