Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling the fire performance of combustion systems with a combustion grate, in which the primary air supply is regulated differently zone by zone over the grate length.
- the invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the method.
- the combustion process on a combustion grate is different over the length of the grate.
- the fuel is dried and ignited near the task.
- the fuel burns intensively, the intensity of which decreases towards the end of the grate, until shortly before the end of the grate only burned-out and cooled slag remains, which falls into a correspondingly designed discharge.
- it is necessary to regulate the primary air supply differently. So far, this has been done by dividing it in the longitudinal direction below the grate Underwind zones are provided, to which different amounts of air are supplied in order to take into account the different combustion phases.
- the regulation of the primary air supply to the individual underwind zones is carried out according to pre-calculated distribution curves and can also be adjusted to the prevailing conditions by observing the fire bed. It is also known to regulate the fire output control as a function of the O 2 moisture content measured in the combustion gases and / or the combustion chamber temperature and / or the steam mass flow. Here, too, you have to rely on a mathematically and empirically obtained distribution of the primary air volume in relation to the individual underwind zones.
- a disadvantage of this type of fire performance control is the fact that the setting and distribution of the primary air based on the grate width was based on an average value of the fuel quality and that no consideration was given to different fuel qualities and fuel quantities based on the width. The consequence of this are locally different combustion behavior and changing excess air figures, which conflict with the attempt to achieve a uniform temperature profile in the combustion chamber of the incineration plant. This can have an adverse effect not only on the thermal behavior (efficiency) but also on the emission of harmful gases.
- the object of the invention is to improve the fire performance control so that over the entire combustion grate surface regardless of the particular burning material quality and quantity of fuel, optimal combustion behavior and thus lower emission values, ie a lower environmental impact and the highest possible constant thermal efficiency, ie even steam production, is achieved.
- the individual combustion zones can be monitored by measuring the temperature at a corresponding number of points above the combustion zones in the combustion chamber.
- the monitoring of the individual combustion zones by means of a video or thermography camera respectively.
- the device for carrying out the method with a combustion grate in which the primary air is supplied via underwind zones divided in the longitudinal direction of the combustion grate, is characterized in that the underwind zones are also divided in the transverse direction of the combustion grate and that a monitoring device for detecting the combustion behavior of the fuel is via the individual combustion zones assigned to the respective underwind zones is provided.
- the monitoring device can comprise thermocouples assigned to the individual combustion zones, which makes it possible to record a temperature profile in the combustion chamber and to influence the primary air supply in the individual combustion zones accordingly. It is advantageous if the thermocouples are arranged between 5 and 15 m above the combustion zones.
- the monitoring device preferably comprises a thermography or video camera, a monitor and a freely programmable computer which resolves the received image into individual image lines and pixels and the digital values thus obtained, which are a measure of the combustion bed temperature, the flame radiation or display the brightness on the respective combustion zone, compare it with specified guide values and trigger a corresponding control process in the event of a deviation.
- This kind of surveillance is particularly advantageous because the monitoring can be directed to every single point on the combustion grate, which enables extremely sensitive control.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a combustion grate, which is denoted overall by 1.
- a feed chute 2 is provided above a feed table 3, on which charging pistons 4 are provided for conveying the fuel onto the combustion grate.
- the fuel is ignited on this, burned in the further course and finally on Rusting the slag discharged by means of a slag chute 5, which opens into a discharge device, not shown.
- the combustion chamber above the combustion grate 1 is designated 6.
- the combustion air is supplied as primary air by means of a blower 7 via a channel designated 8 to an underwind distributor generally designated 9.
- individual air supply pipes denoted overall by 10
- individual underwind zones 11 to 15 which are not only divided in the longitudinal direction of the combustion grate according to FIG. 1, but also, as can be seen from FIG. 2, in the transverse direction of the combustion grate into individual underwind zones and are designated with the letters a and b.
- the duct system 10 has a correspondingly large number of air supply pipes 16, in which the air throughput can be regulated by means of regulating devices, which are shown schematically and provided with the reference number 17.
- This measure divides the combustion grate into individual combustion zones that correspond to the underwind zones. This makes it possible to regulate each individual combustion zone in accordance with the amount of fuel present there and the fuel quality currently to be found and the combustion behavior of the fuel.
- a monitoring device monitoring the combustion behavior on the combustion grate is required.
- 3 and 4 and 5 show two different possibilities.
- Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of a video or thermography camera 18, which is provided in the ceiling 19 of the accelerator cable 20.
- the video camera or thermography camera 18 is oriented so that it can observe the combustion grate 1 from above through the combustion chamber 6.
- This video camera is connected to a monitor 21 and to a freely programmable computer 22, which accordingly resolves the received image and compares the digital values thus obtained, which represent a measure of the brightness in the respective combustion zone, with predetermined guide values and, if there is a deviation, a corresponding control process triggers via a controller 23, which adjusts the control devices, which are designed as flaps or slides 17, in the air distribution pipes 16.
- thermocouples 24 which output the measured values to a freely programmable computer 22, which uses a controller 23, as explained in connection with FIG. 3, to set the respective values Control devices 17 in the air supply lines 16 causes.
- Fig. 5 gives an overview of the distribution of the individual thermocouples 24. From this it can be seen that the thermocouples are evenly distributed over the circumference of the throttle cable in order to be able to monitor as many combustion zones as possible. Both the thermocouples 24 and the video camera 18 are arranged at heights between 5 and 15 m.
Abstract
Zur Regelung der Feuerleistung von Verbrennungsanlagen mit einem Verbrennungsrost (1) wird die Primärluftzufuhr sowohl über die Rostlänge als auch in Querrichtung des Verbrennungsrostes zonenweise unterschiedlich geregelt. Hierzu dient eine Überwachungseinrichtung in Form einer Videokamera (17), die das unterschiedliche Abbrandverhalten in den einzelnen Verbrennungszonen überwacht. Dabei wird das aufgenommene und auf einem Monitor (21) aufgezeigte Bild mittels eines frei programmierbaren Rechners (22) in einzelne Bildzeilen und Bildpunkte aufgelöst und die so erhaltenen Digitalwerte, die ein Maß für die Brenntemperatur, die Flammenstrahlung oder die Helligkeit auf der jeweiligen Verbrennungszone darstellen, mit vorgegebenen Richtwerten verglichen. Bei Abweichung wird über einen Regler (23) eine entsprechende Regelung durchgeführt, wobei zu diesem Zwecke Regelklappen (17) in Luftzuführungsrohren (16) verstellt werden, welche die Verbrennungsluft zu den einzelnen Verbrennungszonen leiten.To regulate the fire output of combustion systems with a combustion grate (1), the primary air supply is regulated differently zone by zone, both over the grate length and in the transverse direction of the combustion grate. A monitoring device in the form of a video camera (17) is used for this purpose, which monitors the different combustion behavior in the individual combustion zones. The image recorded and displayed on a monitor (21) is broken down into individual image lines and pixels by means of a freely programmable computer (22) and the digital values obtained in this way, which represent a measure of the burning temperature, the flame radiation or the brightness in the respective combustion zone , compared with specified guide values. In the event of a deviation, a corresponding control is carried out by means of a controller (23), for which purpose control flaps (17) are adjusted in air supply pipes (16) which guide the combustion air to the individual combustion zones.
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Regelung der Feuerleistung von Verbrennungsanlagen mit einem Verbrennungsrost, bei welchem die Primärluftzuführung über die Rostlänge zonenweise unterschiedlich geregelt wird. Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for controlling the fire performance of combustion systems with a combustion grate, in which the primary air supply is regulated differently zone by zone over the grate length. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the method.
Der Verbrennungsablauf auf einem Verbrennungsrost ist über die Länge des Rostes gesehen unterschiedlich. In der Nähe der Aufgabe wird der Brennstoff getrocknet und gezündet. In einem daran sich anschließenden Bereich befindet sich der Brennstoff im intensiven Abbrand, dessen Intensität gegen das Rostende hin abnimmt, bis kurz vor dem Rostende nur noch ausgebrannte und abgekühlte Schlacke übrig bleibt, die in einen entsprechend ausgebildeten Austrag fällt. Aufgrund dieser unterschiedlichen Phasen, die der Brennstoff auf dem Wege entlang des Rostes durchläuft, ist es erforderlich, die Primärluftzuführung unterschiedlich zu regeln. Dies erfolgt bisher dadurch, daß unterhalb des Rostes in Längsrichtung desselben unterteilte Unterwindzonen vorgesehen sind, denen unterschiedliche Luftmengen zugeführt werden, um den verschiedenen Abbrandphasen Rechnung zu tragen. Die Regelung der Primärluftzuführung zu den einzelnen Unterwindzonen wird dabei nach vorausberechneten Verteilungskurven vorgenommen und kann zusätzlich durch Beobachtung des Feuerbettes den jeweils herrschenden Verhältnissen angepaßt werden. Es ist auch bekannt, die Feuerleistungsregelung in Abhängigkeit von dem in den Verbrennungsgasen gemessenen O2-feucht-Gehalt und/oder der Feuerraumtemperatur und/oder dem Dampfmassenstrom zu regeln. Auch hier ist man auf eine rechnerisch und empirisch gewonnene Verteilung der Primärluftmenge, bezogen auf die einzelnen Unterwindzonen, angewiesen.The combustion process on a combustion grate is different over the length of the grate. The fuel is dried and ignited near the task. In an adjoining area, the fuel burns intensively, the intensity of which decreases towards the end of the grate, until shortly before the end of the grate only burned-out and cooled slag remains, which falls into a correspondingly designed discharge. Because of these different phases that the fuel passes along the grate, it is necessary to regulate the primary air supply differently. So far, this has been done by dividing it in the longitudinal direction below the grate Underwind zones are provided, to which different amounts of air are supplied in order to take into account the different combustion phases. The regulation of the primary air supply to the individual underwind zones is carried out according to pre-calculated distribution curves and can also be adjusted to the prevailing conditions by observing the fire bed. It is also known to regulate the fire output control as a function of the O 2 moisture content measured in the combustion gases and / or the combustion chamber temperature and / or the steam mass flow. Here, too, you have to rely on a mathematically and empirically obtained distribution of the primary air volume in relation to the individual underwind zones.
Nachteilig bei dieser Art der Feuerleistungsregelung ist die Tatsache, daß die Einstellung und Verteilung der Primärluft bezogen auf die Rostbreite nach einem Mittelwert der Brennstoffqualität erfolgte und daß breitenbezogen keine Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher Brennstoffqualitäten und Brennstoffmengen vorgenommen wurde. Die Folge hiervon sind örtlich unterschiedliches Abbrandverhalten und wechselnde Luftüberschußzahlen, die dem Bestreben entgegenstehen, ein gleichmäßiges Temperaturprofil im Feuerraum der Verbrennungsanlage zu erreichen. Dies kann sich nicht nur auf das thermische Verhalten (Wirkungsgrad) sondern auch auf den Ausstoß von Schadgasen nachteilig auswirken.A disadvantage of this type of fire performance control is the fact that the setting and distribution of the primary air based on the grate width was based on an average value of the fuel quality and that no consideration was given to different fuel qualities and fuel quantities based on the width. The consequence of this are locally different combustion behavior and changing excess air figures, which conflict with the attempt to achieve a uniform temperature profile in the combustion chamber of the incineration plant. This can have an adverse effect not only on the thermal behavior (efficiency) but also on the emission of harmful gases.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Feuerleistungsregelung so zu verbessern, daß über die gesamte Verbrennungsrostfläche unabhängig von der jeweils vorliegenden Brenn stoffqualität und Brennstoffmenge ein optimales Abbrandverhalten und damit geringere Emissionswerte, d. h. eine geringere Umweltbelastung und ein möglichst hoher gleichbleibender thermischer Wirkungsgrad, d. h. eine gleichmäßige Dampfproduktion, erzielt wird.The object of the invention is to improve the fire performance control so that over the entire combustion grate surface regardless of the particular burning material quality and quantity of fuel, optimal combustion behavior and thus lower emission values, ie a lower environmental impact and the highest possible constant thermal efficiency, ie even steam production, is achieved.
Diese Aufgabe wird, ausgehend von einem Verfahren der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Art, erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Primärluftzuführung auch zonenweise in Querrichtung des Verbrennungsrostes unterschiedlich geregelt wird und daß die einzelnen Verbrennungszonen überwacht und die Primärluftmengen den einzelnen Verbrennungszonen entsprechend dem in den jeweiligen Verbrennungszonen herrschenden Abbrandverhalten des Brennstoffes zugeführt werden.This object is achieved, starting from a method of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1, according to the invention in that the primary air supply is also regulated differently zone by zone in the transverse direction of the combustion grate and in that the individual combustion zones are monitored and the primary air quantities in accordance with that in the respective combustion zones Combustion zones prevailing combustion behavior of the fuel are supplied.
Durch dieses erfindungsgemäße Verfahren können unterschiedliche Brennstoffqualitäten und unterschiedliche Brennstoffverteilungen so berücksichtigt werden, daß an allen Stellen des Verbrennungsrostes ein optimaler Verbrennungszustand herrscht. Die Folge hiervon sind geringere Emissionswerte und ein hoher thermischer Wirkungsgrad der Anlage.By means of this method according to the invention, different fuel qualities and different fuel distributions can be taken into account in such a way that an optimal combustion state prevails at all points of the combustion grate. The consequence of this is lower emission values and a high thermal efficiency of the plant.
Die Überwachung der einzelnen Verbrennungszonen kann durch Temperaturmessung an entsprechend vielen Stellen oberhalb der Verbrennungszonen im Feuerraum erfolgen.The individual combustion zones can be monitored by measuring the temperature at a corresponding number of points above the combustion zones in the combustion chamber.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann die Überwachung der einzelnen Verbrennungszonen mittels Video- oder Thermographiekamera erfolgen.According to a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the monitoring of the individual combustion zones by means of a video or thermography camera respectively.
Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens mit einem Verbrennungsrost, bei dem die Primärluftzuführung über in Längsrichtung des Verbrennungsrostes unterteilte Unterwindzonen erfolgt, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Unterwindzonen auch in Querrichtung des Verbrennungsrostes unterteilt sind und daß eine Überwachungseinrichtung für die Erfassung des Abbrandverhaltens des Brennstoffes über den einzelnen, den jeweiligen Unterwindzonen zugeordneten Verbrennungszonen vorgesehen ist.The device for carrying out the method with a combustion grate, in which the primary air is supplied via underwind zones divided in the longitudinal direction of the combustion grate, is characterized in that the underwind zones are also divided in the transverse direction of the combustion grate and that a monitoring device for detecting the combustion behavior of the fuel is via the individual combustion zones assigned to the respective underwind zones is provided.
Die Überwachungseinrichtung kann den einzelnen Verbrennungszonen zugeordnete Thermoelemente umfassen, wodurch es möglich ist, ein Temperaturprofil im Feuerraum aufzunehmen und die Primärluftzufuhr in den einzelnen Verbrennungszonen entsprechend zu beeinflussen. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Thermoelemente zwischen 5 und 15 m oberhalb der Verbrennungszonen angeordnet sind.The monitoring device can comprise thermocouples assigned to the individual combustion zones, which makes it possible to record a temperature profile in the combustion chamber and to influence the primary air supply in the individual combustion zones accordingly. It is advantageous if the thermocouples are arranged between 5 and 15 m above the combustion zones.
Vorzugsweise umfaßt in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Überwachungseinrichtung eine Thermographie- oder Videokamera, einen Monitor und einen freiprogrammierbaren Rechner, der das empfangene Bild in einzelne Bildzeilen und Bildpunkte auflöst und die so erhaltenen Digitalwerte, die ein Maß für die Brennbett-Temperatur, die Flammenstrahlung oder die Helligkeit auf der jeweiligen Verbrennungszone darstellen, mit vorgegebenen Richtwerten vergleicht und bei Abweichung einen entsprechenden Regelvorgang auslöst. Diese Art der Überwachung ist besonders vorteilhaft, weil die Überwachung auf jeden einzelnen Punkt des Verbrennungsrostes gerichtet werden kann, wodurch eine äußerst feinfühlige Regelung möglich ist.In a further embodiment of the invention, the monitoring device preferably comprises a thermography or video camera, a monitor and a freely programmable computer which resolves the received image into individual image lines and pixels and the digital values thus obtained, which are a measure of the combustion bed temperature, the flame radiation or display the brightness on the respective combustion zone, compare it with specified guide values and trigger a corresponding control process in the event of a deviation. This kind of surveillance is particularly advantageous because the monitoring can be directed to every single point on the combustion grate, which enables extremely sensitive control.
