Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for achieving exchange of heat between a gas and a fine-grained material, such as cement raw meal, the device comprising a substantially vertical, rotationally symmetrical shaft which is provided with at least one gas inlet at its lower end, a central gas outlet at its upper end, and a material inlet likewise at its upper end, and a central material outlet at its lower end, through which shaft the gas stream passes through from the lower end and upwards along a helical path, whereas the material which is fed at the top and discharged at the bottom during its passage through the shaft is repeatedly thrust outwards against the wall of the shaft and re-introduced into the gas stream.
- the invention relates particularly to a heat exchange device in which an exchange of heat is achievable between hot gas and cold fine-grained material according to the counterflow principle and in such a way that the hot gas when passing up through the device is cooled down from a high inlet temperature, which typically ranges between 1000 and 1200°C, to a low discharge temperature within the range 100 - 200°C above the ambient temperature, while, simultaneously, during its passage down through the device the material is heated from a low inlet temperature, typically corresponding to the ambient temperature, to a high discharge temperature within the range 0 - 200°C below the inlet temperature of the gas.
- a high inlet temperature typically ranges between 1000 and 1200°C
- DE-B-1178001 discloses a heat exchange device comprising a cylindrical shaft which is made up of several sections positioned on top of one another, and in which the material is introduced at the top and discharged at the bottom, whereas the gas is introduced axially at the bottom and discharged axially at the top.
- the said patent specification suggests that a sub-stream of the discharge gas is separated from the principal gas stream and subsequently injected at high velocity tangentially into the shaft. Optimum efficiency cannot be achieved with such a device since it uses the relatively low-temperature discharge gas as injection gas, thereby lowering the temperature in the lower part of the shaft.
- DE-B-1813519 describes another heat exchange device which comprises a cylindrical shaft of identical diameter over its entire length.
- the gas is introduced tangentially at the bottom of the shaft and, as a consequence hereof, follows a helical path up through the shaft.
- the shaft comprises a number of outwardly buckling features which function as guiding faces for re-introducing the material into the gas stream.
- the gas stream must be capable of imparting to the material a relatively high tangential velocity, so that the material leaves the outwardly buckling features at a high radial velocity and does not just fall down along the shaft wall.
- the temperature of the gas will decrease substantially up through the shaft.
- the velocity of the gas will also decrease which means that the tangential velocity component in the upper part of the shaft will not be sufficient to impart to the material the intended radial velocity at the outwardly buckled features. Therefore, the heat exchange between the gas and the material will be restricted in the upper part of the shaft.
- a further disadvantage of both of the known devices is the fact that their separation efficiency appears to be insufficient, and, therefore, it will be necessary to install a separation cyclone immediately above the device.
- a device of the kind mentioned in the introduction characterized in that the shaft is built up of several substantially cylindrical shaft sections positioned on top of one another, with the diameter of the sections decreasing from the bottom upwards, and in that the gas inlet (s) is (are) provided tangentially in the lowermost shaft section.
- a compact heat exchange device which will ensure efficient heat exchange between the gas and the material as well as a material separation efficiency which is high enough to eliminate the need for a subsequent separation cyclone.
- This is due to the fact that the tangentially fed gas maintains, all the way up through the shaft, a sufficiently high tangential velocity for the material in each shaft section to be thrust out towards the shaft wall and thereby separated from the gas, and the fact that on its passage down through the shaft the material is repeatedly directed back into the gas stream.
- the shaft is made up of a number of shaft sections positioned on top of one another, with the diameter, and hence the cross-sectional area, of the shaft sections decreasing from the bottom upwards, means that the shaft volume available for gas stream passage will drop proportionately to the volume of the gas. Hence the circumferential velocity of the gas can be maintained all the way up through the shaft through appropriate selection of the shaft dimensions relatively to the temperature drop of the gas.
- the filler body may advantageously take the form of a cone or a truncated cone which is placed coaxial- ly with the shaft.
- the filler body may be equipped on its outer side with guiding means, particularly in the form of plates, which are fitted horizontally or at a moderately inclining angle viewed in relation to the tangential velocity component of the gas so that the gas will follow a helical path at a very small rate of inclination and with the maximum achievable circumferential velocity.
- the guiding means may advantageously consist of a helicoid guide plate with an angle of inclination of approximately 5°.
- each shaft section may be configured as an inverted truncated cone so as to ensure that the material which drops from one shaft section to the next one is retained in the gas stream during an extended period of time, thereby increasing the temperature of the material.
- a slight protrusion of the lower part of each shaft section into the underlying shaft section may also be advantageous.
- the relationship between the diameter and height of each shaft section is between 2 and 10, preferably between 3 and 6.
- the relationship between the diameters of two adjacent shaft sections is between 8:7 and 3:2, preferably between 6 : 5 and 4:3.
- the figure depicts a heat exchange device 1 which comprises a vertical, rotationally symmetrical shaft 11 which is formed with a tangential gas inlet 3 at its lower end, a central gas outlet 5 at its upper end, a material inlet 7 also at its upper end, and a central material outlet 9 at its lower end.
- the shaft 11 is divided into a number of cylindrical shaft sections 11a, lib, lie, lid, lie, the diameters D of which decrease from the bottom and upwards.
- the tangential gas inlet 3 is configured in the lowermost shaft section 11a.
- the illustrated heat exchange device further comprises a filler body in the form of a cone 13 which is fixed coaxially within the shaft 11 in unspecified manner.
- a filler body in the form of a cone 13 which is fixed coaxially within the shaft 11 in unspecified manner.
- the cone 13 On its outer side the cone 13 is provided with a helicoid guide plate 15 with an angle of inclination of 5°.
- the primary function of the guide plate 15 is to force the gas stream into following a helical path up through the shaft 11 at the smallest possible angle of inclination so that the gas achieves the maximum attainable circumferential velocity.
- the guide plate 15 has a width which is preferably such that it protrudes between one-fifth and one-third of the way into the shaft space between the shaft wall and the cone.
- each shaft section may be configured as an inverted truncated cone 17 which protrudes slightly into the underlying shaft section.
- a uniform flow of material is directed into the uppermost shaft section lie via the opening 7.
- the material is entrained in the gas stream which is circulating at a high velocity and after being retained in the gas stream for a certain period of time during which the material is heated to a temperature close to that of the gas, the material is thrust out towards guide face formed by the wall of the shaft section, wherefrom it drops down into the underlying shaft section lid in which the process is repeated.
- the material is gradually heated as it is flows down through the shaft while, at the same time, the gas is cooled accordingly as it flows up through the shaft.
- the heated material is discharged from the shaft via the outlet 9 whereas the cooled gas stream is discharged via the outlet 5.
