Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a gas cleaning system, such as a catalytic reduction system or an electrostatic precipitator system, for use in an industrial process plant, such as a fossil-fueled power plant or a waste incineration plant. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a duct transition arrangement for use in an exhaust gas cleaning system and a method of using the same.
- a hot process gas is generated, such process gas containing, among other components, dust particles, sometimes referred to as fly ash, and nitrogen oxides.
- the dust particles are often removed from the process gas by means of a dust removal device, such as an electrostatic precipitator, also called an ESP, or a fabric filter.
- ESP electrostatic precipitator
- a transition duct is arranged between an inlet duct and the ESP processing reactor.
- One purpose of the transition duct is to distribute the process gas for flow into the ESP since the inlet duct normally has a smaller cross-sectional area than that of the ESP processing reactor.
- the inlet duct is provided with perforated plates to distribute the process gas to flow over the complete interior area of the ESP.
- Another solution may be to use guide vanes, such as disclosed in GB346635 , to direct and distribute the flow of incoming process gas.
- Such arrangements with perforated plates and/or guide vanes such as W004067183 , need to be tuned after installation and at start up to deliver an even gas distribution.
- Such arrangements consist of many small pieces to be manufactured and assembled. Such arrangements are also expensive due to the special manufacturing requirements of the perforated plates, which plates also add substantial steel weight to the arrangement. During manufacture, the perforated plates are punched and cut such that a significant amount of material goes to waste.
- the outlet from the ESP, from the reactor casing to a duct, is typically also equipped with similar perforated plates to achieve a good velocity profile downstream of the ESP.
- the present disclosure provides a duct transition arrangement that alleviates at least some of the fore mentioned drawbacks associated with present duct transition arrangements.
- the process gas cleaning system comprises a transition duct fluidly connecting an inlet duct of an inlet duct perimeter to an outlet duct of an outlet duct perimeter that differs from the inlet duct perimeter such that flue gases flow from the inlet duct through the fluidly connected transition duct toward fluidly connected outlet duct.
- the arrangement is characterized in that the transition duct comprises at least one expanded screen for distribution of flue gas flowing through the transition duct.
- a duct transition arrangement as described above with an expanded screen incorporated therein may effectively distribute and direct flue gas flow. Further, tuning requirements of the duct transition arrangement at start up may be eliminated.
- the duct transition arrangement as disclosed may reduce manufacturing and installation costs due to fewer parts, less assembly and less construction material consumption. Less material may be used to manufacture an expanded screen than is typically used to manufacture a perforated plate.
- the subject duct transition arrangement may further increase the robustness of the process gas cleaning system to variations in upstream conditions with regard to the flow of flue gas. Such variations may be differences in the flue gas inlet velocity profile. A stable and even flue gas inlet velocity profile may be achieved downstream the expanded screen. Such may also lend itself to a duct transition arrangement of a more compact design in the exhaust gas cleaning system.
- a duct transition arrangement of a more compact design may contribute less weight and require less construction material in its manufacture for use in the exhaust gas cleaning system.
- a duct transition arrangement of a more compact design may further provide a possibility of integrating the arrangement into a duct bend.
- the transverse cross-sectional areas of the inlet duct and the outlet duct taken at similar points perpendicular to their longitudinal expanses, may differ in size.
- the inlet transverse cross-sectional area taken perpendicular to a longitudinal expanse of the inlet duct may be smaller than the outlet transverse cross-sectional area taken perpendicular to a longitudinal expanse of the outlet duct, or vice verse.
- the differently sized transverse cross-sectional areas of the inlet duct and the outlet duct may also differ in shape.
- the duct transition arrangement may thereby be designed as a fluidly connected coupling between the inlet duct and the outlet duct.
- the duct transition arrangement may for instance be connected to an inlet duct with a circular periphery and an outlet duct with a rectangular or square periphery, or vice verse.
- the inlet duct and outlet duct may also be of any other shape, other than circular, square or rectangular.
- the at least one expanded screen may be bent or two or more expanded screens may be combined to form an angle arranged in the inlet duct and/or the outlet duct of a duct transition arrangement.
- Such an angle is formed when one or a portion of one expanded screen forms a first plane of the angle and a second or a portion of the first expanded screen forms a second plane of the angle.
- Opposed to the angle point are the free edges of the one or more expanded screens.
- a relatively even flue gas velocity distribution may be achieved with few parts, little assembly and low pressure drop.
- Such a duct transition arrangement may be placed at an inlet or an outlet of an ESP.
- the duct transition arrangement is placed such that the transverse cross-sectional area of the transition duct taken perpendicular to the longitudinal expanse of the transition duct, increases in the direction of the flue gas flow, the angle point may be placed downstream with respect to the flow of flue gas, from the opposed free edges, i.e., to "point" in the direction of or with the flue gas flow.
- the angle point may be placed upstream with respect to the flow of flue gas, from the opposed free edges, i.e., to "point" in the opposite direction of or against the flue gas flow.
- the outlet transverse cross-sectional area may be larger than the inlet transverse cross-sectional area taken at similar points, and the angle point of the expanded screen may point in the direction of or with the flue gas flow.
- the transition duct may thereby be placed at an inlet to an ESP reactor such that the transverse cross-sectional area of the transition duct may increase in the direction of the flue gas flow.
- the angle point formed by the at least one expanded screen may thereby point in the direction of the flue gas flow and the increasing transverse cross-sectional area of the transition duct.
- the at least one expanded screen so positioned may provide an effective and even distribution and direction of flue gas flow through an ESP reactor inlet.
- the outlet transverse cross-sectional area being larger than the inlet transverse cross-sectional area may substantially be realized in that the outlet transverse cross-section differs in shape from the inlet transverse cross-section.
- the outlet transverse cross-section may be rectangular in shape and the inlet transverse cross-section may be circular in shape, or vice verse.
- the outlet duct transverse cross-sectional area may be smaller than the inlet transverse cross-sectional area taken at similar points, and the angle point formed by the at least one expanded screen may point in the opposite direction of or against the flue gas flow.
- the transition duct may thereby be placed at an outlet of an ESP reactor such that the transverse cross-sectional area of the transition duct may decrease in the direction of the flue gas flow.
- the angle point formed by the at least one expanded screen may thereby point in the opposite direction of the flue gas flow and the decreasing transverse cross-sectional area of the transition duct.
- the at least one expanded screen so positioned may provide an effective and even distribution and direction of the flue gas flow through an ESP reactor outlet.
- the outlet transverse cross-sectional area being smaller than the inlet transverse cross-sectional area may substantially be realized in that the outlet cross-section differs in shape from the inlet cross-section.
- the outlet cross-section may be rectangular or square in shape and the inlet cross-section may be circular in shape, or vice verse.
- the at least one expanded screen may comprise one or more expanded screens folded or combined to form a foursided "pyramid" formation.
- a rectangular "base” of such an expanded screen pyramid may be formed and sized appropriately, for instance if the inlet duct has a rectangular cross-section.
- the expanded screen pyramid may provide a distribution and direction of the flue gas flow that is even in all four directions of the rectangular pyramid form. This may provide an even distribution and velocity profile throughout the flowing flue gas affected thereby.
- the at least one expanded screen may comprise one or more expanded screens in a "cone" formation. If the inlet duct has a circular cross-section, a cone formation may be formed and sized by one or more expanded screens for suitable accommodation of the circular cone "base" within the circular inlet duct.
- One expanded screen may be bent to form a cone with an open base and a pointed top. The bent expanded screen may be welded, glued or the like to form and maintain the cone shape.
- the point of the expanded screen cone may point in the direction of or in the opposite direction of the flue gas flow, depending on the placement of the arrangement.
- the at least one expanded screen may comprise one or more flat screens extending in a plane or planes substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the duct transition arrangement.
- such duct transition arrangement with at least one expanded screen incorporated therein may effectively distribute and direct flue gas flow.
- tuning requirements of the duct transition arrangement at start up may be eliminated.
- the duct transition arrangement as disclosed may reduce manufacturing and installation costs due to fewer parts, less assembly and less construction material consumption. Less construction material may be used to manufacture an expanded screen than is typically used to manufacture a perforated plate.
- the subject duct transition arrangement may further increase the robustness of the process gas cleaning system to variations in upstream conditions with regard to the flow of flue gas. Such variations may be differences in the flue gas inlet velocity profile. A stable and even flue gas inlet velocity profile may be achieved downstream the expanded screen.
- the transition duct arrangement may further comprise an outlet expanded screen positioned in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of a longitudinal axis of the duct transition arrangement.

- a skewed velocity profile in the gas flow may be evened out with less pressure drop.
- the outlet expanded screen may be arranged at an end of the transition duct.
- the outlet expanded screen may be arranged inside the transition duct relatively close to the end of the transition duct that may be fluidly connected to the outlet duct.
- the cross-sectional area or at least a portion of the outlet expanded screen may be substantially similar in shape to that of the transition duct periphery where it is to be positioned.
- the "base" or at least a portion of the outlet expanded screen may abut substantially the entire periphery of the transition duct and occupy substantially the entire transverse cross-section of the transition duct where positioned.

- the at least one expanded screen may be made of metal.
- a metal as the construction material for the at least one expanded screen, a robust screen may be achieved with a long working lifetime.
- suitable metals for construction of the subject expanded screens are tempered sheet-metal such as sheet iron e.g. HardoxTM (SSAB Svenskt Stal Aktiebolag Corporation, Sweden), or stainless materials, especially for use in corrosive environments.
- the at least one expanded screen may further be made of many different plastic deformable materials.
- the plastic deformable material may be a kind of rigid plastic, such as TeflonTM (E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company Corporation, USA) or polypropylene (PP). Such material may mainly be used in an environment that demands special material characteristics such as corrosion resistance.

- the two parts 62a, 62b have differently directed angled strands 38 ( Fig. 5 ) to direct the flow of flue gas F in the transition duct 60.
- Outlet expanded screen 62 corresponds in size and shape with the interior periphery 64a of second end 64 of the transition duct 60 for attachment thereto.
- the flue gas F flows from inlet duct 70 through expanded screen 61 1 and is thereby deflected from its course along longitudinal axis X. Deflection occurs due to angled strands 38 of expanded screen 61. When the flue gas F reaches outlet expanded screen 62, the flue gas F is again deflected to achieve flow parallel to longitudinal axis X. Deflection occurs due to angled strands 38 of outlet expanded screen 62. This deflection of flue gas F provides a relatively even flow distribution over the entire interior area of the outlet duct 80. Such an even flue gas F distribution enhances the performance of the ESP reactor downstream with regard to flue gas flow, of duct transition arrangement 3.
- a duct transition arrangement 3 at an inlet to an ESP reactor as shown in Figure 7 may similarly be arranged at an outlet of an ESP reactor.
- a method for controlling gas flow in an exhaust gas cleaning system by directing gas flow from an inlet duct 10, 15 of an inlet duct perimeter to an outlet duct 20, 25 of an outlet duct perimeter that differs from the inlet duct perimeter through a transition duct 30, 40, 50 fluidly connecting the inlet duct 10, 15 to the outlet duct 20, 25 using at least one expanded screen 31, 41, 51, arranged in the transition duct 30, 40, 50 for distribution of gas flow through the transition duct 30, 40, 50.
- the method provides that the at least one expanded screen 31, 41, 51 used for directing gas flow from the inlet duct 10, 15, through the transition duct 30, 40, 50 to the outlet duct 20, 25 includes an apex 35 arranged to point in the direction of the larger perimetered inlet duct 10, 15 or outlet duct 20, 25.
- the method provides that the outlet duct perimeter is larger than the inlet duct perimeter, and apex 35, of the at least one expanded screen 31, 41, 51 directing flue gas F flow, points in the same direction as that of the flue gas F flow.
- the method provides that the outlet duct perimeter is smaller than the inlet duct perimeter, and apex 35, of the at least one expanded screen 31, 41, 51 directing flue gas F flow, points in a direction opposite the direction of flue gas F flow.
- the method comprises a further direction of flue gas F flow by an outlet expanded screen 32, 44, 52, 62 provided in transition duct 30, 40, 50, 60, and which outlet expanded screen 32, 44, 52, 62 extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis X of the transition duct 30, 40, 50, 60.
