Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional waste gas purification apparatuses face issues with excessive internal temperature leading to potential damage and lopsided deposition of silica powder in heat storage chambers, causing imbalance in heat storage and incomplete gas heating.

Innovation Solution

A heat storage type waste gas purification apparatus with bypass passages connected to the combustion chamber above each heat storage chamber, equipped with on-off valves that open to discharge surplus gas when a temperature threshold is reached, along with an agitation device to enhance decomposition efficiency and a flow rate adjusting mechanism to manage static pressure fluctuations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If surplus heat is released during treatment of silicone-containing waste gas, then the apparatus can avoid damage from excessive temperature, but silica powder is deposited in a lopsided manner in the heat storage chambers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinternal temperatureVSAvoiduniformity of silica powder deposition
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the heat storage system into multiple independent heat storage chambers (first and second heat storage chambers), each with its own heat storage body. This segmentation allows independent control and heat release from each chamber, preventing lopsided silica powder deposition that would occur in a single undivided chamber system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces temperature detection sections that independently monitor temperatures in different locations (first and second heat storage chambers, and combustion chamber), enabling localized temperature control and heat release strategies for each chamber, thus achieving uniform silica powder distribution while preventing apparatus damage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Quantity of substance

If lopsided deposition of silica powder occurs, then heat storage amount becomes imbalanced between chambers, but the waste gas can still be led to the combustion chamber

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat storage amountVSAvoidsufficient heating of waste gas
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the heat storage system into multiple chambers with independent temperature monitoring and control, the invention ensures that each chamber maintains appropriate heat storage levels, preventing imbalances that would compromise waste gas heating reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention implements feedback control through temperature detection sections that continuously monitor temperatures in each heat storage chamber and combustion chamber, and a control section that adjusts operations based on these readings, ensuring reliable waste gas heating while maintaining balanced heat storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If bypass passages are equipped with on-off valves controlled by temperature, then apparatus damage is avoided and silica deposition is equalized, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapparatus safetyVSAvoidcontrol system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control section performs multiple functions: it controls bypass passage valves for temperature regulation, manages heat storage chamber operations, and coordinates with detection sections. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity despite the presence of multiple control elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The temperature detection sections and control section create a self-regulating system where the apparatus automatically monitors and adjusts its own temperature distribution and heat release, reducing the need for external complex control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
