Definitions
- the present invention relates to a circulating fluidized bed boiler in accordance with the introductory part of the independent claim.
- the present invention thus relates to a circulating fluidized bed boiler, comprising a furnace for combusting carbonaceous fuel, at least one outlet channel connected to the upper portion of the furnace for removing flue gas and solid particles generating in the combustion of the fuel from the furnace, each outlet channel being provided with a particle separator attached with a flue gas channel for transferring flue gas cleaned of solid particles out of the boiler, and a return duct for transferring separated solid particles to the lower portion of the furnace, said return duct being provided with a gas seal, a heat exchange chamber, a lift channel and an overflow conduit, wherein solid particles exiting the gas seal are guided to the upper portion of the heat exchange chamber and from the lower portion of the heat exchange chamber through the lift channel to the furnace or directly from the upper portion of the heat exchange chamber through the overflow conduit to the furnace.
- the circulating fluidized bed boiler of the present invention may preferably be a large natural circulation boiler or once through boiler, for example, for power generation or industrial steam production.
- the relation of the wall surface area to the volume of the furnace usually becomes disadvantageous, which may cause problems, for example, in controlling the boiler, positioning of the different devices and conduits related to the furnace as well as feed and mixing of different materials.
- the present invention especially relates to solving problems re- lated to large circulating fluidized bed boilers.
- US Patent No. 7,240,639 discloses a circulating fluidized bed boiler, in which hot solid particles separated by a solids separator are guided from the gas seal of the return duct to the upper portion of the heat exchange chamber integrated with the lower portion of the furnace and further either from the lower portion of the heat exchange chamber to the furnace through a riser or directly from the upper portion of the heat exchange chamber to the furnace through a separate overflow conduit.
- the heat exchange chamber is a fluidized chamber, which means that there are means provided in the lower portion of the chamber, especially nozzles and inlet piping for fl ⁇ idization gas, by means of which the bed of solid particles being formed in the chamber can be fluidized.
- the heat exchange efficiency of a fluidized heat change chamber may be adjusted to a certain extent by changing the fluidizing velocity, in other words the flow v ⁇ locity of the fluidizing gas introduced to the chamber.
- an overflow channel offers another, very efficient way of adjusting the heat exchange efficiency by changing the share of the solid particles removed from the heat exchange chamber as overflow.
- US Patent No. 5,682,828 discloses a so called divided gas seal which is formed to the return duct of the particle separator, in which gas seal the vertical return duct of the particle separator is connected to one end of a short fluidized horizontal duct, the other end of the duct connecting to the lower portion of an upflow leg.
- the upflow leg is a fluidized, at least mainly vertical channel, in which solid particles are transferred from the bottom of the channel to the upper portion thereof by means of a sufficiently intense fluidizing gas flow.
- a crosswise duct is connected to the upper portion of the upflow channel, with an inclined downflow channel leading from both ends thereof directly to furnace.
- the problem with the solution disclosed in the patent is that the solid particles to be returned can, for example, due to partial clogging, be drifted to return asymmetrically in such a way that the mass flow of one branch is greater than that of the other branch.
- US Patent No. 6,923,128 discloses a divided gas seal, which is similar to that of US Patent No. 5,682,828 except that the pipe connecting to the upper portion of the upflow channel is bent in the middle and with the branches thereof pointing downwards inclined and inclined towards the furnace. Furthermore, the upper end of the vertical portion connecting to the branches is connected with a vertical inlet conduit for fuel.
- a common problem with the return duct arrangements integrated with the gas seals is that it is not possible to arrange a heat exchange chamber comprising an- overflow duct in connection therewith.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a circulating fluidized bed boiler, in which the problems of the prior art discussed above are minimized.
- a special object of the present invention is to provide a compact and efficient c ⁇ rculat- ing fluidized bed boiler, having a heat exchanger chamber provided in the return duct of a particle separator, the heat exchange efficiency of which can be adjusted and from which the solid particles are evenly distributed throughout the furnace area in all conditions.
- a characterizing feature of a circulating fluidized bed boiler in accordance with the present invention is that there is at least one downpipe arranged in connection with the lift channel, the downpipe be- ing connected at its upper portion to flow connection with the upper portion of the lift channel and at its lower portion to flow connection with the lower portion of the furnace and the overflow conduit is in direct flow connection with the upper portion of the downpipe.
- Downpipe refers to a mainly vertical or almost vertical pipe or channel, through the lower portion of which material flows directly to the lower portion of the furnace.
- the downpipe is preferably dimensioned in such a way that in normal operation, only at the end of the downpipe connecting to the furnace there is a short column of flowing material and from the majority of the channel, the material quickly falls through, whe- reby the channel is mainly almost empty.
- Overflow conduit refers to an opening, short channel or other direct connection from the upper portion of the heat exchange chamber to the upper portion of the down- pipe.
- the overflow conduit is arranged to join with the upper portion of the heat ex- change chamber in such a way that when the surface of the fluidized bed in the heat exchanger is low enough, the solid particles being returned from the particle separator do not pass through the overflow conduit to the downpipe, but through the heat exchange channel from up downwards, through an opening or conduit in the lower portion of the heat exchange chamber to the lower portion of the lift channel and further through the upper portion of the lift channel to the downpipe.
- the solid particles have to move in the proximity of the heat exchange surfaces of the heat exchange chamber, whereby they cool down when releasing heat to the heat exchange medium circulating on the heat exchange surfaces.
- the sur- face of the fluidized bed maintained in the heat exchange chamber is high enough, a portion of the solid particles being returned from the particle separator passes from the upper portion of the heat exchange chamber through the overflow conduit directly to the downpipe without cooling on the heat exchange surfaces of the heat exchange chamber.
- the lift channel is connected with two downpipes, of which one is connected with an overflow conduit, but the other one is not.
- one heat exchange chamber can be connected with two or more lift channels, each of which being possibly connected with one or more lift channels.
- the heat exchange chamber is connected with two lift channels, each channel being connected to one downpipe.
- the lift channels are preferably located to the opposite sides of the heat exchange chamber in such a way that the furnace side portion of the heat exchange chamber, the lift channels and the upper portions of the downpipes connected thereto are adjacently positioned parallel to the closest furnace wall.
- the arrangement in accordance with the present invention in which one lift channel is connected with two downpipes differs from the arrangements disclosed in publications US 5,682,828 and US 6,923,128 especially in that the flow of solid particles being returned from the particle separator is not divided in the lift channel of the gas lock, but in the lift channel of the heat exchange chamber arranged downstream of the gas seal, and therefore it is possible to connect overflow conduits to the down- pipes and the downpipes can act in different situations either as discharge channels for material cooled on the heat exchange surfaces or as overflow channels for un- cooled material.
- the arrangement As cooled and uncooled solid particles in the arrangement in accordance with the present invention are returned to the furnace along the same downpipe, the arrangement is simple and surface area-saving for the walls of the lower portion of the furnace. When several downpipes are used, it is possible to distribute both the cooled and uncooled particles in the arrangement in accordance with the invention homogeneously to the furnace area.
- the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange chambers is adjusted, it is possible to preferably use such fluidizing velocities by which a portion of the solid particles arriving from the particle separator are drifted via the heat exchange surfaces through the heat exchange chamber and another portion of the solid particles are directly removed from the upper portion of the heat exchange chamber via overflow conduits to the downpipes.
- the downpipes act simultaneously both as discharge channels for cooled material and overflow channels for uncooled material.
- the combining of two material flows in the downpipe preferably takes place without the flows disturbing each other, when the flow direction of both material flows in the connection point of the flows is downwards.
- the overflow conduit is preferably a short, downwards di- recting channel.
- the connection point of the lift channel and the down- pipes preferably has to be, to a certain extent, at a lower level than the connection points of the overflow conduits and downpipes. The connection of the material flows is also facilitated by the fact that the particles rapidly fall down from the upper portion of the downpipes to the lower portion thereof and in normal operating conditions the downpipes are almost empty in the connection point of the material flows.
- overflow conduits in accordance with the invention are that they also offer an exit route to the lower portion of the furnace for the fluidizing air of the heat exchanged chamber, whereby there is no need to arrange a special exit to the furnace, or it can be smaller than a conventional one, or it is not necessary to adjust the pressure conditions of the return duct in such a way that the fluidizing air exits through the gas seal to the particle separator. Since there is a counter pressure prevailing in the lower portion of the furnace, the level of which depends on the com- busting conditions of the furnace, the fluidizing air exits through the downpipes to the furnace, of course, only when the pressure level after the gas seal in the return duct has reached a sufficient level.
- Another advantage resulting from the feature that, for example, when using two downpipes, an overflow conduit has been arranged to the upper portion of both downpipes, is that the fluidizing gases exiting through the overflow conduits are guided to both downpipes, and, thus, they help to a certain extent the directing of the solid particles being returned from the particle separator evenly to both downpipes.
- the heat exchange chamber, the lift channel, and the upper portions of the down- pipes preferably form an integral entity, in other words, the heat exchange cham- ber, the lift channel, and the upper portions of the downpipes are formed attached to each other in such a way that the adjacent parts have at least mainly common partition walls.
- the heat exchange chamber, the lift channel and the downpipes may be manufac- tured as completely or partially uncooled, in other words plate-structured, and from the inside refractory lined structure.
- the heat exchange chamber, the lift channel and at least the upper portions of the downpipes are preferably made at least mainly as water tube construction, which is connected to the water or steam cycle of the boiler.
- the particle separator and the gas seal are also preferably of wa- ter tube constructions and made as integrated water tube construction with the heat exchange chamber, the lift channel and at least the upper portions of the downpipes.
- At least one downpipe is connected with an inlet for fuel.
- Preferably all inlets for fuel that are required on the furnace walls comprising particle separators are connected to the downpipes connecting to the return ducts of the particle separators and no separate inlet openings for fuel are necessary. In this way area of the walls is saved, as the total number of the inlet openings required on said walls decreases.
- Distribution and mixing of fuel in the furnace are also facilitated by introducing the fuel to the furnace mixed in an already relatively large solid particle flow.
- the fuel also dries and becomes warmer while mixing with hot solid particle flow, which ex- pedites the ignition of the fuel and its burning in the furnace.
- the downpipe preferably comprises a non-vertical portion for introducing the fuel, which is connected with a mainly vertical inlet for fuel.
- a non-vertical portion for introducing the fuel, which is connected with a mainly vertical inlet for fuel.
- Such a non-vertical portion may be in the upper portion of the downpipe, especially at the highest point of the downpipe, whereby the inlet for fuel is preferably connected to the ceiling of the front end of the downpipe.
- the inlet for fuel is connected to the center portion of the downpipe, in other words to a portion of the downpipe, which is positioned at least to some extent lower than the highest point of the mainly almost vertical downpipe, which portion is less steeply sloping than its surroundings, in other words to a more non-vertical portion.
- the advantage in the arrangement is that the fuel is introduced to a portion of the downpipe, in which the solid particles being returned from the particle separator fall at a relatively high velocity towards the furnace, whereby the risk of a clogging being formed in the connecting point of the fuel inlet is very small.
- the inlet for fuel connected to the downpipe is preferably at least mainly vertical or almost vertical drop leg.
- a drop leg generally comprises a blower, by means of which the flow of the fuel in the drop leg is ensured.
- the fluidizing gas in the heat exchange chamber exits to the furnace at least partially through the downpipes, whereby also said fluidizing gas ensures the flow of the fuel to the furnace.

- a gas seal 22 for preventing the gas from flowing from the furnace through the return duct 20 to the particle separator 16 and a fluidized heat exchange chamber 24 are arranged in the return duct.
- the furnace 12 is connected with conventional devices, such as a so called wind box and fluidizing nozzles, for introducing primary combustion gas 26 acting as fluidizing gas to the bottom of the furnace and means for introducing secondary combustion gas 28 to a certain extent higher level.
- the fluidizing gas and the combustion gases are usually air, but they can also comprise circulated flue gas and/or oxygen or a mixture thereof.
- the walls of the furnace may also comprise conventional conduits 30 for introducing fuel, bed material and sulphur-binding material to the furnace 12.
- Walls 32 of the furnace are usually made as water tube constructions in such a way that the water tube walls in the lower portion of the furnace are internally lined with refractory material.
- the flue gas channel can also comprise different cleaning devices for flue gas, for example, dust separators as well as devices for removing nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. As these devices are not of importance for the present invention, they are not shown in Fig. 1.
- the furnace 12 of a large circulating fluidized bed boiler has generally a rectangular horizontal cross-section, having two long sides and two short sides.
- a large circulating fluidized bed boiler there are usually two, three or four particle separa- tors, adjacently located on one long side of the furnace, or four, six or eight particle separators, adjacently arranged on both long sides of the furnace.
- Fig. 1 shows, as an example, only one particle separator 16, it is to be understood that it is possible to have more particle separators, and they can be arranged on both sides of the furnace.
- downpipes 42 can preferably be arranged to both sides of the lift channel 34.
- the solid particles are preferably guided from the lower portion of the down- pipe 42 directly to lower portion of the furnace 12.
- An overflow conduit 44 is arranged between the upper portion of the heat exchange chamber 24 and the upper portion of each downpipe 42, through which the fluidizing gas of the heat exchange chamber 24 is allowed to exit to downpipes and there- through to the furnace.
- the overflow conduit 44 is preferably connected to the down- pipe 42 at a level which is to a certain extent higher than the top opening 38 of the lift channel 34.
- the fluidizing gas exiting from the overflow conduit 44 assists in maintaining the downpipes 42 open.
- the fluidizing gas of the heat exchange chamber exiting through each downpipe facilitates in distributing the solid material homogeneously to individual downpipes and also to the area of the whole furnace 12.
- the heat exchange chamber 24 has heat exchange surfaces 46, for example, superheater surfaces of the boiler, by means of which it is possible to transfer heat from the hot solid particles separated by the particle separator to the heat exchange medium, for example, steam to be superheated.
- the heat exchange efficiency can be adjusted to a certain extent by changing the fluidizing velocity of the heat exchange chamber, in other words, the flow velocity of the fluidizing gas being introduced through fluidizing means 48 to flow through the heat exchange chamber.
- Another method of adjusting the heat exchange efficiency is to adjust the fluidizing velocity of the lift channel 34 in such a way that only a portion of the solid particles separate by the particle separator 16 exits from the heat exchange chamber through the lift channel.
- overflow conduits 44 guide separated solid particles directly to the upper portion of the downpipes 42.
- An inlet for fuel 50 preferably a vertical or partially inclined drop leg, is connected to the ceiling of downpipes 42 in Fig. 2.
- the drop leg is preferably connected to an inlet for air 52, through which it is possible to introduce air or other gas to promote the flow of the fuel downwards.
- air 52 an inlet for air 52, through which it is possible to introduce air or other gas to promote the flow of the fuel downwards.
- the fuel enters the downpipe 42 it mixes with the flow of the solid particles to be returned.
- the solid particle flow which is warmer than the fuel, dries and preheats the fuel in such a way that having entered the furnace 12, it ignites and burns rapidly.
- the gas exiting the overflow conduits 44 intensifies the flow of the fuel to the furnace.
- Fig. 3 discloses another arrangement which differs from that disclosed in Fig.
- Fig. 4 discloses a schematic horizontal cross-sectional view of an arrangement of a heat exchange chamber 24 of a circulating fluidized bed boiler, a lift channel 34 connected thereto and downpipes 42 connected to the lift channel in accordance with the invention, corresponding to the arrangement of Fig. 3.
- the lift channel 34 and the downpipes 42 are successively arranged parallel to the closest side wall 32' of the furnace 12.
- the heat exchange chamber 24, lift channel 34 and downpipes 42 form a compact entity, which can advantageously be connected to the fuel transfer system and can be arranged, when necessary, very close to the furnace.
- non-vertical portions 54 in the center portion of the downpipes 42 are directed along the side wall 32' of the furnace 12, and distributing conveyors 56 transferring fuel to the inlets for fuel or to drop legs, such as robbing screws, bring fuel from a common conveyor 58, for example, a flight conveyor, preferably past the heat exchange chamber 24, perpendicularly to the side wall 32' of the furnace.
- a common conveyor 58 for example, a flight conveyor
- the common conveyor 58 bringing fuel to a number of distributing conveyors 56 can preferably be located behind the heat exchange chamber(s) as seen from the furnace.
- the furnace of the circulating fluidized bed boiler in accordance with the present invention the particle separators and heat exchange chambers connected thereto and the devices and channels therebetween are typically all structures hung from the solid supporting structure of the boiler. Especially with large boilers, it is possible to make considerably savings by keeping the supporting structure as small as possible. Therefore, a compact arrangement of the heat exchange chamber and the channels connected thereto in accordance with the invention close to the fur- nace significantly saves in total construction costs of the whole power plaht.
- Fig. 5 discloses a schematic horizontal cross-sectional view of a second arrangement of a heat exchange chamber 24, a lift channel 34 connected thereto and downpipes 42 connected to the lift channel in a circulating fluidized bed boiler 10 in accordance with the invention.

- the downpipes 42 connected to the lift channels are adjacent with the lift channels parallel to the to the closest side wall 32' of the furnace 12.
- the heat exchange chamber 24, lift channels 34 and the upper portions of the downpipes 42 are successively arranged parallel to the closest side wall 32' of the furnace 12.
- the inlets for fuel in the arrangement disclosed in Fig. 5 are connected to the ceil- ing of the downpipes 42, in the similar way as in the arrangement of Fig. 2.
- Said arrangement of lift channels and downpipes can, however, be modified also in such a way that the inlets for fuel are connected to a less steeply sloping point in the center portion of the downpipes, as in Fig. 4.
- the arrangement of Fig. 5 is especially advantageous, as the heat exchange chamber 24, the lift channels 34 and the downpipes 42 there form an especially compact entity in a direction perpendicular to the closest wall 32' of the furnace, which can be arranged, if necessary especially close to the furnace 12.
- Fig. 6 discloses yet another way of locating a heat exchange chamber 24, two lift channels 34 and downpipes 42 connected thereto.
- the lift channels 34 and the downpipes 42 are arranged in connection with the walls of the heat exchange chamber 24 perpendicular to the closest side wall 32' of the furnace.
- the overflow conduit 44 is a mere opening in the wall between the heat exchange chamber 24 and the down- pipe 42.
- the figure also illustrates two different ways of locating the inlet for fuel 50 to the portion 54 less steeply sloping than the surrounding downpipe 42.
- Fig. 6 discloses an arrangement in which the less steeply sloping portion 54 of the downpipe 42 is directed parallel to the side wall 32' of the furnace 12, whereby the distance of the heat exchange chamber 24 from the furnace 12 can be minimized.
- the lower portion of Fig. 6 discloses an arrangement, in which the less steeply sloping portion 54 is directed towards the furnace 12, whereby the structure is to a certain extent simpler and narrower in the direction of the side wall 32' of the furnace.
