Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dust duct for transporting dust with at least one optical sensor for monitoring a property of the dust. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for measuring a property of dust in a dust line.
- Dust lines are used in a number of automated dust transport processes, where the dust is either transported to the point of its use or transported away from the site of its formation. Dust is understood below to mean a collection of solid particles whose particle diameter is significantly below 1 mm, usually below 100 ⁇ m. Dust stirred up in air can float for a long time and thus be transported in pneumatically operated dust lines along with a stream of air, even in a fluidized manner. The most important application of such dust lines is in coal-fired power plants, in which finely ground coal dust with a particle diameter of usually a maximum of 0.5 mm is fed to a burner via a dust line. However, there are other automated processes in which dust is transported via dust lines, such as the supply of flour, cocoa or starch in food production or the removal of wood dusts and metal dusts in material processing processes.
- the calorific value of coal is particularly important Parameter to be monitored.
- the calorific value is a measure of the energy released during the combustion per unit mass of the fuel.
- the calorific value depends, among other things, on the humidity of the pulverized coal, the chemical composition of the carbon particles and the particle size of the pulverized coal.
- all these parameters should be kept within a given process window, whereby the given process window can also vary over time, for example if the nominal power of the power plant changes during the course of the day.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a dust line for the transport of dust with at least one optical sensor, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
- a further re object of the invention is to provide a method for measuring a property of dust in a dust line.
- the dust line according to the invention for the transport of dust in an automated process comprises at least one optical sensor for monitoring a property of the dust.
- the optical sensor is arranged in an indentation of the dust line, the indentation being equipped with at least one gas inlet nozzle for removing the dust from the optical sensor.
- the dust line according to the invention makes it possible, for example, to transport the dust pneumatically through the line while monitoring the composition of the dust during the ongoing process by means of an optical measurement.
- the arrangement of the optical sensor in a recess of the dust line reduces the wear of the sensor, since it is not directly exposed to the abrasive forces in the main channel of the transport stream. Instead, the measurement takes place in a mechanically protected area of the transport line.
- the indentation of the dust line fills up to a large extent with dust. This filling corresponds to the automated removal of a sample from the transport stream.
- this sample volume can be emptied again by the at least one gas inlet nozzle of the dust line according to the invention is put into operation in order to largely free the indentation by blowing air from dust.
- the thus exposed sensor surface is then again available for further measurement.
- the dust duct thus configured thus makes it possible to carry out repeated measurements of the optical parameters of the dust in a simple manner in order to determine the composition and further properties of the dust, and For example, to monitor compliance with a given process window.
- Another advantage of the dust line according to the invention is that the measurement of the optical parameters can take place without contact, which means that the dust line can be configured as an explosion-proof environment. This is especially important for flammable dusts such as coal dust, flour, cocoa, starch and cellulose dust. Due to the low abrasion of the optical sensor in the recess of the dust line dust line according to the invention is also low maintenance.
- the dust line may additionally have the following features:
- the optical sensor may be a sensor for measuring a reflection comprising at least one probe body and an optical window.
- the probe body acts as
- Carrier for the optical measuring device and the optical window forms the interface between the optical sensor and the sample volume to be measured, ie the dust contained in the indentation.
- the measurement of a reflection property is advantageous since most dusts are poorly transparent in the range of infrared light and visible light, but at some wavelengths have a relatively high reflection coefficient. Is particularly advantageous Also, an embodiment in which the optical window and the probe body can be separated from each other, for example, in case of any wear these components separately replaced and / or cleaned, because even in the protected environment within the indentation in continuous operation wear and / / or contamination of the components of the optical sensor occur.
- the optical sensor may comprise at least one light source for emitting light into the optical window, at least one photodetector for measuring light and at least one light source
- the at least one optical waveguide serves to forward the light from the light source to the optical window and to conduct the light to be measured from the optical window to the photodetector.
- Advantageous wavelength ranges for the optical measurement are the visible range of the spectrum and the infrared range, in particular the near infrared range (NIR) between 780 nm and 3 ⁇ and the middle infrared range (MIR) between see 3 ⁇ and 50 ⁇ .
- NIR near infrared range
- MIR middle infrared range
- the at least one optical waveguide comprises fluoride fibers and / or sapphire fibers.
- the optical sensor may also comprise two or more optical fibers.
- the optical sensor may comprise at least one element for splitting light into its spectral components.
- This element can be for example a grid or a prism.
- the decoupled light between the optical window and the photodetector can be decomposed into its spectral components in order to enable a wavelength-selective measurement.
- the optical sensor may comprise at least one element for the computational determination of the spectral components of light by a Fourier analysis. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when using infrared light.
- the element for computational determination of the spectral components can be, for example, an interferometer, which splits the light emitted by the light source by means of a beam splitter into two individual beams which interfere with one another. The path of one of the sub-beams is thereby changed continuously so that a measurement signal is obtained at the detector as a function of this distance. By Fourier transformation of the obtained interferogram, the spectral components of the light can be determined by calculation.
- gas inlet nozzles can be arranged in the indentation of the dust line. These gas inlet nozzles can be designed so that they can blow in air or another non-flammable gas in at least two different angles to a transport direction of the dust in the indentation.
- the use of a plurality of gas inlet nozzles and the injection of gas from several different angles makes it possible to remove dust from the indentation and the optical sensor arranged therein, in particular the optical window, in a particularly reliable and reproducible manner. Even if one of the gas inlet nozzles fails, one or more further nozzles can still reliably clear the indentation of dust.
- the optical sensor may be a sensor suitable for measuring the attenuated total internal reflection of light in the sample window.
- the method of weakened inner Total reflection is a measurement method in which total reflection radiation is guided in an optical window with a high refractive index.
- a sample to be examined which is brought into contact or in close spatial proximity to the optical window can then attenuate the total reflection within the optical window.
- the attenuation is due to the interaction of the evanescent electromagnetic field of the light with the sample, the range of this interaction being in the range of the wavelength of the light.
- this embodiment of the invention can thus be measured with such a light sensor so essentially dust particles that rest directly on the optical window.
- the attenuation of the total internal reflection of the light is particularly strong for those spectral regions in which an absorption of the sample to be measured is present.
- characteristic bands are measured in a spectrally resolved measurement, which allow conclusions about the chemical composition of the sample to be examined.
- the particle size of dust particles to be examined also influences the degree of weakening of the total internal reflection and thus the strength of the measured spectral bands.
- the refractive index of the optical window is advantageously greater than 1.5, particularly advantageously greater than 2.
- Suitable materials for such optical windows are, for example, diamond, sapphire, germanium, zinc selenide, silver halides, quartz glass, silicon, thallium bromoiodide or germanium arsenic. selenide.
- the shape of the optical window is advantageously designed so that several reflections take place in the beam path of the light at the outer boundary surface of the optical window, that is, at several points of the optical window, a weakening of the total internal reflection by an optical interaction with the examined Sample can take place.
- an embodiment of the optical window in prismatic form is particularly advantageous.
- the optical sensor may be a sensor suitable for measuring the diffuse reflection of light on the dust.
- light is coupled out of the optical window into the interior of the indentation.
- the light is diffusely reflected by the dust particles to be measured and, to a certain extent, coupled back into the optical window and directed via one of the optical waveguides to the photodetector.
- an optical window made of a material which has the lowest possible refractive index, for example below 2, so that the light can be coupled out into the interior of the indentation.
- the method may additionally have the following features and / or steps:
- the aforementioned method steps may be repeated several times in order to monitor an automated process.
- the repetition can take place, for example, periodically.
- Only the regular repetition of the measurement of the optical properties of the dust allows a continuous monitoring of a running process, for example a check, whether a predetermined process window with predetermined process parameters is maintained.
- a regulation of such process parameters is made possible by such a continuous repetition of the optical measurement.
- the optical property of the dust may be the attenuation of total internal reflection of light in an optical window of the optical sensor by deposited dust.
- the optical property of the dust may be the diffuse reflection of light on dust contained in the recess.
- the optical property of the dust can be measured as a function of the wavelength of light emitted by a light source of the optical sensor.
- Such a measuring method is especially advantageous if the chemical composition of the dust is a relevant measurement parameter, because a spectrally resolved evaluation of the optical property of the dust allows a direct assignment to known substances by comparison with cataloged spectral band positions, band widths and band intensities of known Substances and known mixtures.
- a predetermined process window can also be defined so that only a certain predetermined deviation from a predefined ideal spectrum can be tolerated. When measuring a larger than allowed deviation in any part of the spectrum, process parameters must be corrected.
- the grain size of the dust can also be determined. For example, an average effective grain size can be determined from the extent of total internal reflection attenuation, since many small dust particles will cause much more matter to interact optically with evanescent waves of light in the optical window than a few large dust particles.
- the chemical composition of the dust can also be determined. In particular, by analyzing the spectral dependence of the optical property of a monitoring of the chemical composition is easily possible.
- One aspect which may be particularly relevant here is the monitoring of the moisture content of the dust, for example the measurement of the water fraction bound to the surface of the dust particles or else the measurement of structurally bound water.
- the automated process to be monitored may be the supply of coal dust in a coal power plant.
- compliance with a predetermined process window can be monitored and / or regulated.

This nominal electrical power may vary throughout the day, necessitating repeated readjustment and verification of the process parameters. Even if the power plant has a constant nominal output, quality fluctuations in the calorific value of the pulverized coal can be compensated by other parameters, such as a changed mass flow, so that the overall heating power remains constant.
- the measured chemical composition data can also be used to check the quality of the raw materials, ie the raw coal.
- Measured data on the mean grain size of the pulverized coal can also serve as control variables in the adjustment of the parameters of the upstream grinding plant.

- the dust particles 2 will be transported through the line in a much denser concentration.
- the measurement of the dust property within the indentation makes the measurement result relatively independent of the process-dependent variation of the density of the dust stream in the transport line. For a reproducible repetition of the measurement conditions, it is important that the packing density of the
