8 Claims. (Cl. 122-240) (Granted` under thelact of March 3, 1883, as.`
amended April 30,1928; 370 O. G.` 757) This invention relates to improvements in apparatus and methods of high-rate steam generation, and more particularly pertains to means for producing steam in large quantities albeit using units lighter and more compact than those employed presently.
Conventional boilers used in high-rate steam generation require large furnaces, such furnaces constituting frequently twenty per cent or more of the total boiler weight and occupying at least that percentage of the total space taken up by the entire unit. Present furnaces operate norm.- ally at heat releases not exceeding approximately a quarter of a million B. t. u. per cubic foot per hour at full power, although in some installations or at extreme conditions heat releases can risey to a maximum level of no more than one-half of la million B. t. u. per cubic foot per hour. (One type of large and heavy furnace construction employed presently to achieve such level is the ponderous and complicated `arrangement used in French boilers of .the general Sural type, wherein singleboilers or groups of'boilers are placed in a heavy shell or separate compartment known as the vase clos, so that heavy inner and outer` casings are required.)
The structures herein disclosed are adapted to develop heat releases of l0 to 20 million B. t. u. per cubic foot per hour. Consequently, the overall furnace volume can be reduced to a fraction of the volume of furnaces now employed. In addition, end gas iiring of the entire tube bank augments B. t. u. releases greatly above present figures, also dispensing with furnaces as such.
The primary object of this invention is to provide apparatus and methods of high-rate steam generation whereby substantial reduction in both space and weight requirements is effected by utilizing novel furnace structure.
Another object is to. provide `apparatus andY 'reducing the number and lengths of such tubes materially, can be employed.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein Fig. l is a fragmentary elevation of a furnace, partly in section, showing a preferred embodiment of the invention;
`Figwz is a plan view of a bank of the elements shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary elevation of a'furnace, partly insection, showing a modified form` of the invention;
Fig. 41s a side elevation of abank of the ele-v ments shown in Fig. 3; l
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary elevation of a furnace, partly in section,showing a further modified form of the invention; and
Fig. l6V is a section taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a steam drum I I extends horizontally, being supported by suitable means not shown. A water drum I3 extends horizontally and parallel to said steam drum, said water drum likewise'being` supported by suitable means not shown. Water drum I3 is positioned a distance below said steam drum II, and a plurality of downcomer tubes I5, each having :its axis normal to the axes of the said steam and water drums, communicate between said two drums. Tubes I5 are arranged preferably in uniformly spaced relation along the length of said two drums.
A plurality of headers I'I and I8 are cylindrical drums positioned in axialparallelism with and somewhat below the level of drum I3, and a plurality ofV conduits I9 communicate between said headers and said drum I3. Another pluralityfof headers 2| and 22, are positioned vertically above headers I'I and I8 respectively. A plurality ofconduits 23 commuicate between headers 2I and 22 and drum II.
Bundles of. tubes 25 communicate between headersI'I and 2I. Said tubes can be straight, except for the end portions thereof that are manifolded into said headers I I and 2|, as shown in Fig. l, or can be formed into a spiral or coiled configuration to increase total length of each tube of said bundler Other bundles of tubes 2.1 communicate between headers I8 and 22. Said tubes 2l can be straight, except for the end portions thereof `that are manifolded into said headers I8 and 22, as shown in Fig. l, or can be f formed into a spiral or coiled configuration to Tubes 59 communicate between headers 41 and 53. Said tubes can be formed into a spiral or coiled conguration to provide maximum effective length, as shown in Fig. 3, or can be substantially straight. Tubes 6| communicate between headers V49 and 55. Similarly, said tubes 6| can be formed into a spiral orcoiled configuration to provide maximum effective length,l as shown in Fig. 3, or can be substantially straight.
Duct 35 communicates between the'exit end of casing 29 and the entrance end of said casing,
said duct carrying an economiser '31 proximatey said exit end and a blower 39 proximate said entrance end. Alternatively, said duct can be constructed so as to communicate between the exit end of a first casing 26 and the entrance end of an adjacent casing 29, where,` a bank of such burners is employed, with a duct communicating similarly between the exit end of the last of said casings in said bank and the entrance end of said rst casing, to provide a closed series system.
Similarly, headers |8 and 22 and their connecting bundle-of tubes 21, are enclosed in'such a peripheral burner, as shown in Figs. 1 'and 2.
In operation, combustibles are forced into the hollow frusto-conical vrings forming the walls'of the combustion chamber and out of the apertures provided in the trailing edges thereof. 4Such combustibles burn in a moving stream surrounding each of the bundles of tubes, with oxidant passing axially through the chamber and oxidant being supplied between said rings. After the gases of combustion pass overthe substantially vertical or coiled tubes, such gases exit from -the burners, are cooled by passage 'through the economizer sections, and then are'eithe'r passed to the-,atmosphere through a duct (not shown) or used to supplement additional oxidant that isv forced into the burners by the blowers. Suitable ring meansl (not shown) is employed to ignite such` combustibles, apreferred type: of firing means being that disclosed in pending application'Serial No.' 551,420 filed August 16, 1944 by Bonvilian,l Brierly and Letvin.
