Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of cleaning the interior of containers and systems. It relates to a method for removing deposits in the interior of containers and systems by means of explosion technology according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the method and the associated device are used in particular to clean soiled and slagged containers and systems with caking on their inner walls, in particular of incineration systems.
- Heating surfaces z. B. from waste incineration plants or generally from combustion boilers are generally subject to heavy pollution. These soils have inorganic compositions and are typically caused by the deposition of ash particles on the wall. Deposits in the area of high flue gas temperatures are usually very hard, as they either stick to the wall when melted or partially melted, or are stuck together by substances that melt or condense when they solidify on the colder boiler wall. Such deposits can only be removed with difficulty and inadequately using known cleaning methods. This means that the boiler must be periodically shut down and cooled down for cleaning. Since such boilers usually have fairly large dimensions, it is often necessary to build one Scaffolding in the furnace necessary.
- a cleaning method in which the cold or the hot boiler in operation is cleaned by introducing and igniting explosive devices.
- a cooled explosive device is brought by means of a cooled lance in the vicinity of the contaminated heating surface, where the explosive charge is ignited.
- the caking on the heating surface is blown off by the force of the detonation as well as by the wall vibrations generated by the shock waves.
- the cleaning time can be significantly reduced with this method compared to conventional cleaning methods. With the necessary safety precautions, cleaning can take place while the incinerator is in operation or while the container is still hot. It is possible to clean a boiler in this way within hours and without interrupting operations, which would take days with a conventional cleaning method.
- This method and the associated device have the advantage over the above-mentioned blasting technology with explosives that the method is inexpensive to operate. So are z. B. the starting components of a gas mixture, which comprises oxygen and a flammable gas, compared to explosives inexpensive. Furthermore, in contrast to explosives, the procurement and handling of said gases do not require any special permits or qualifications, so that anyone with appropriate training can carry out the process.
- the starting components are fed to the cleaning lance via separate feed lines and the dangerous, explosive gas mixture is therefore only produced in the cleaning lance shortly before the explosion is triggered.
- the handling of the individual components of the gas mixture are far less dangerous, as these are individually highly flammable but not explosive.
- the associated method has the disadvantage that handling the container shell is very cumbersome. For each cleaning process, a container cover must be fastened over the outlet opening of the cleaning device. This process is also quite time-consuming, so that the individual cleaning processes each take a comparatively long time.
- the filling process is also comparatively slow. This is due to the fact that the explosive mixture can only be let into the container shell at a relatively low filling speed so that it can unfold and expand in a controlled manner without damaging it. If the explosive mixture is let into the container shell at high speed, it is contracted by the negative pressure generated and does not expand. Furthermore, even individual layers of the container shell can be peeled off on the inside.
- the expanded container shell cannot be introduced into narrow areas, such as those found in tube bundles. This means that the explosive mixture cannot be led into the narrow areas to be cleaned and caused to explode there. Rather, the explosive mixture can only be ignited from outside these areas, with the explosion waves penetrating into the narrow areas ensuring a limited cleaning effect.
- the publication font EP 1 987 895 A1 describes a device for cleaning the interior of a container by means of generating shock waves.
- an explosive mixture is ignited in each case in a tube, the resulting shock waves propagating through an outlet at the end of the tube into the interior of the container.
- the publication font US 2009/320 439 A1 describes an impulse cleaning device having an elongated combustion chamber.
- the device contains a first inlet for the supply of a fuel and a second inlet for the supply of air into the combustion chamber, where the two components are mixed and made to explode by means of an ignition device.
- the publication font GB 2,478,831 A describes an impulse cleaning device for removing debris from the surface of an incinerator.
- the pulse cleaning device includes a combustion chamber in which a fuel and air are mixed and exploded. The explosion generates a shock wave which is directed at the surface to be cleaned.
- the object of the present invention is therefore that in the EP 1 362 213 B1 to modify the cleaning device described and the associated method so that a targeted and even improved cleaning effect is achieved.
- narrow areas should also be accessible to the explosion mixture.
- the implementation of the method should be less cumbersome and less time-consuming and more cost-effective.
- the cleaning method disclosed in connection with the invention is based on bringing an explosive mixture into the vicinity of a point to be cleaned in order to subsequently cause the mixture to explode.
- the explosive mixture is gaseous at least in the explosive state.
- the explosive mixture can be formed from a gaseous component introduced into the cleaning device.
- the introduced gaseous component already forms the explosive, gaseous mixture.
- the explosive mixture can be formed from two or more and in particular from two gaseous components introduced separately into the cleaning device.
- the gaseous components are mixed with one another in the cleaning device in a mixing zone to form an explosive, gaseous mixture.
- the mixing zone is arranged in particular in front of or in the feed pressure line.
- Gaseous components means that they are present in gaseous form when the explosive mixture is formed in the receiving space and, in particular, when it is introduced into the cleaning device.
- the gaseous components also known as starting components, can, however, also be in liquid form in pressure vessels under pressure.
- the gaseous component can in particular be a rapidly evaporating liquid.
- the explosive mixture contains in particular a fuel and an oxidizing agent, such as. B. gaseous oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas.
- the fuel can be liquid or gaseous. This can e.g. B. from the group of combustible hydrocarbons, such as acetylene, ethylene, methane, ethane, propane, gasoline, oil, etc. be. So is z. B. a first gaseous component a fuel and a second gaseous component the oxidizing agent.
- the explosive mixture is made available in the receiving area of the cleaning device.
- the mixture is ignited via an ignition device.
- the force of the explosion and the surface made to vibrate by the shock waves e.g. a container or pipe wall, cause the wall caking and slagging to burst off and thus the cleaning of the surface.
- the strength of the explosion required for cleaning and thus the amount of gaseous components used to generate the explosive mixture depends on the type of contamination and the size and type of the contaminated container.
- the dosage and strength of the explosion can and are preferably selected so that no damage to installations occurs.
- the possibility of optimal dosage of the substances used reduces the cleaning costs on the one hand, and the risk of danger and damage to the system and people on the other.
- the cleaning device contains, in particular, a feed pressure line, also called a supply line, via which the explosive mixture is directed to an outlet opening.
- the feed pressure line in particular forms a closed feed pressure channel, also called a feed channel.
- This can form a circular cross-section and have a diameter of 150 mm (millimeters) or less, or of 100 mm or less, or of 60 mm or less, and in particular of 55 mm or less.
- the diameter can also be 20 mm or larger, or 30 mm or larger, in particular 40 mm or larger.
- the length of the feed pressure line can, for. B. 1 m (meter) or more, or 2m or more, or 3m or more, or 4m or more.
- the cleaning device contains in particular an outlet device which contains the outlet opening.
- the outlet device is arranged in the outflow direction, in particular following the feed pressure line.
- the outlet device forms a receiving space for receiving at least a part of the supplied explosive mixture.
- the feed pressure line and the outlet device form a receiving space for receiving at least a part of the supplied explosive mixture.
- the receiving space is open to the outside, in particular via the outlet opening.
- the explosive mixture is z. B. in the receiving space, especially in the feed pressure line, exploded.
- the explosion pressure wave propagates through the outlet opening into the interior of the system or the container.
- Such a method with the associated device can be used, for example, for cleaning catalysts in flue gas cleaning devices.
- the explosion pressure waves exiting through the outlet opening of the cleaning device act on the catalytic converter and dissolve dirt.
- the outlet opening is z. B. open to the outside during ignition and explosion of the explosive mixture.
- the outlet opening is open to the outside in particular during the ignition and explosion of the explosive mixture.
- the outlet opening is open to the outside in particular during the introduction of the explosive mixture into the receiving space.
- the outlet opening is open to the outside in particular during a complete cleaning cycle, comprising the introduction of an explosive mixture and the ignition and explosion of the explosive mixture.
- the outlet opening can in particular be non-closable.
- At least part of the explosive mixture introduced is introduced into the interior of the container or system via the outlet opening of the cleaning device.
- a cloud is formed from the explosive mixture in the interior. This cloud is made to explode.
- the total volume of explosive mixture comprises the volume of explosive mixture in the receiving space of the cleaning device and the volume of the cloud of explosive mixture formed outside the cleaning device.
- the cloud is characterized in particular by the fact that it does not have physical means or a barrier, such as e.g. B. a container shell is delimited. Rather, the edge area of the cloud is in direct contact with the surrounding atmosphere.
- the total volume of the explosive mixture is caused to ignite in a controlled manner via an ignition device in the receiving space and in particular in the feed pressure line.
- the total volume of the explosive mixture comprises a cloud, then this too, together with the volume in the receiving space, is caused to explode in a controlled manner via the ignition device.
- the ignition-effective component of the ignition device is arranged in particular in the cleaning device.
- the ignition-effective component of the ignition device is arranged, for example, in the feed pressure line or is at least in operative connection with it.
- the total volume from the explosive mixture is generated in a period of 1 second or less, preferably 0.5 seconds or less, in particular 0.2 seconds or less or even 0.1 seconds or less.
- the total volume can also be generated in a period of 0.03 seconds or less. A period of 0.01 to 0.2 seconds has proven to be possibly optimal.
- Said period comprises the introduction of the explosive mixture into the receiving space and into part of the interior of the container.
- Said period is calculated in particular from the opening of the metering fitting (s) described below to introduce the at least one gaseous component into the feed pressure line of the cleaning device to the closing of the metering fitting (s) to end the introduction.
- the ignition and consequently the explosion of the explosive mixture is, in terms of control technology, coordinated in particular with the time at which the metering valve (s) is closed.
- the ignition takes place immediately when the metering fittings are closed.
- the ignition has at most a very short delay.
- the time span between the opening of the metering fitting (s) for the purpose of introducing the at least one gaseous component and the ignition of the explosive mixture is therefore also in particular within the time period described above.
- the lower limit of this time period is technically determined in particular by the arrangement and switchability of the metering fitting (s) for introducing the at least one gaseous component into the cleaning device.
- the at least one gaseous component is introduced into the cleaning device via the at least one metering valve, in particular at such a high speed that the explosive mixture forms a pressure front, also known as a shock front, in the feed pressure line.
- the pressure front When viewed in the outflow direction, the pressure front forms the boundary between the explosive mixture behind the pressure front and the ambient atmosphere in front of the pressure front.
- the explosive mixture has in particular an overpressure behind the pressure front in the direction of flow.
- the overpressure corresponds to the pressure difference between the actual pressure and the (atmospheric) ambient pressure.
- This excess pressure can be 0.5 bar or more, or 1 bar or more, and in particular 2 bar or more.
- the overpressure can also be 2.5 bar or more or even 3 bar or more.
- the explosive mixture is ignited, in particular, in the aforementioned overpressure conditions.
- the explosive mixture has an overpressure behind the pressure front, this is also characterized by a higher density, based on the ambient conditions. This is due to the fact that the compressed gas introduced from the pressure vessel is not yet completely relaxed in the cleaning device at the time of ignition, but rather is still under overpressure and is therefore compressed.
- the explosion performance is dependent on the mass of the available explosive mixture, the explosion performance is also at a higher density of the explosive mixture with the same volume is correspondingly larger.
- the pressure front pushes the ambient air in front of it in the direction of flow.
- the pressure front expels the ambient air from the cleaning device via the outlet opening.
- the explosive mixture and with it the pressure front can move towards the outlet opening or flow towards it at a speed of 100 m / s or more, in particular 200 m / s or more.
- the explosion pressure wave moves in the direction of the outlet opening.
- the explosion pressure wave propagates at a very high speed. This particularly exceeds the speed of sound and can, for. B. in the range of 3000 m / s.
- the explosion pressure is a multiple of the pressure of the explosive mixture before the explosion.
- the explosion pressure can be, for example, 25 times the initial pressure. If the explosive mixture now has an overpressure, the explosion pressure also increases by a corresponding multiple.
- the explosion pressure corresponds to around 25 bar when it is amplified by 25 times.
- the explosive mixture has a pressure of 2 bar (in the overpressure range, higher density)
- the explosion pressure corresponds to around 50 bar with an amplification of 25 times. The is accordingly The explosion pressure and thus the cleaning effect is much higher if the explosive mixture that is ignited has an overpressure in the cleaning device.
- An explosion cycle can be divided into different cycles, similar to an internal combustion engine.
- the metering valve (s) to the feed pressure line is or are opened and the at least one gaseous component, e.g. B. from at least one pressure vessel, introduced under pressure into the cleaning device and passed as an explosive, gaseous mixture via the feed pressure line to the outlet device.
- the cloud is formed outside the outlet opening via the outlet device.
- the at least one metering valve is closed.
- the ignition is then activated and the total volume of explosive mixture formed is made to explode. After the explosion, you can open the at least one metering valve a gaseous, explosive mixture can be generated again in the receiving space.
- pulsed explosions can also be generated with the method according to the invention. That is, there are z. B. each corresponding total volumes generated from an explosive mixture and made to explode.
- one or more explosions can be generated in one second. So it is possible to generate 2 to 10 explosions within a second. Furthermore, pulsed explosions can generate vibrations in the system or in the container, which promote the cleaning process.
- the method for generating pulsed explosions also has the advantage that several total volumes of an explosive mixture, each comprising a cloud, can be generated one after the other in a short time.
- the volumes of these clouds can be dimensioned smaller in comparison to the generation of individual clouds at greater time intervals.
- the clouds from pulsed explosions can e.g. B. have a volume of 1 to 5 liters. Larger clouds are also possible.
- the formation of the explosive mixture in the feed pressure line goes hand in hand with the formation of the cloud from the explosive mixture when it emerges from the outlet opening of the cleaning device at the end of the feed pressure line.
- the degree of mixing of the explosive mixture emerging from the outlet opening with the ambient atmosphere is not only related to the time span over which the formation of the cloud and the subsequent ignition extend. Rather, the geometry of the outlet device adjoining the at least one feed pressure line, which forms at least one outlet opening, is also decisive.
- dilution of the explosive mixture means the loss of the explosiveness. In the best case, such a diluted mixture simply burns off or nothing happens at all in the container or in the system despite the high heat.
- This problem is one of the reasons why the mixture has hitherto been introduced into the interior of the container or the system in a protected manner in a container shell.
- the cleaning device according to the invention contains a feed pressure line and an outlet device which is arranged at the end of the feed pressure line and has at least one outlet opening.
- the feed pressure line and the outlet device form a receiving space for receiving at least part of the introduced explosive mixture out.
- the recording room is z. B. open to the outside via the at least one outlet opening.
- the cleaning device and in particular its outlet device is z. B. designed to introduce the explosive mixture into the interior of the container or the system and to form a cloud from the explosive mixture in the interior of the container or the system.
- the cross-sectional area of the at least one outlet opening is larger than the cross-sectional area of the feed pressure channel of the at least one feed pressure line.
- the outlet device can also contain a plurality of outlet openings. Furthermore, several feed pressure lines can also be routed to the outlet device.
- the outlet device contains in particular one or a plurality of outlet bodies which form the outlet opening or the outlet openings.
- the outlet body is a component that forms a flow channel for the explosive mixture, which opens into the outlet opening.
- the outlet opening denotes the transition from the cleaning device to the interior of the container or the system in which the explosive mixture flowing out is no longer passed through the cleaning device.
- the outlet body or its flow channel are part of the receiving space for the explosive mixture.
- the outlet bodies can be fed with the explosive mixture through a common or separate feed pressure lines.
- the outlet device can accordingly be connected to one or more feed pressure lines.
- the outlet device can also contain line branches which lead the explosive mixture to the individual outlet bodies.
- a feed pressure line can also be led into a distribution space, from which the explosive mixture is fed to the individual outlet bodies via passages.
- the distribution space can be designed, for example, spherical or hemispherical.
