Abstract
Description
- The present invention to an apparatus for cooling solids laden hot gases.
- A solids laden gas is, for example, synthesis gas obtainable from a coal gasification process. The coal gasification process is a well-known process for partial oxidation of finely divided solid carbonaceous fuel wherein an oxygen-containing gas, which is applied as an oxidiser, and a finely divided solid carbonaceous fuel are supplied to a gasification zone wherein substantially autothermically under appropriate conditions of temperature and pressure a gaseous stream containing synthesis gas (which is substantially a gaseous mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) is produced. Further, solid impurities such as fly ash particles are usually present in the synthesis gas. Such particles may be sticky. The oxygen-containing gas, which is applied as an oxidiser, is usually air or (pure) oxygen or steam or a mixture thereof.
- The above partial oxidation reaction usually takes place in a gasification reactor. In order to control the temperature in the reactor a moderator gas (e.g. steam, water or carbon dioxide or a combination thereof) can be supplied to said reactor.
- Those skilled in the art will know the conditions of supplying oxidiser and moderator to the reactor.
- Advantageously, the said carbonaceous fuel (optionally with a moderator gas) and the said oxygen-containing gas, applied as oxidiser (optionally with a moderator gas) are supplied to the reactor via at least a burner. The hot raw effluent gas stream leaving the reactor, usually at or near its top, is optionally quenched and is usually cooled in an indirect heat exchanger such as a convection cooler.
- Conventionally, the raw gas stream is cooled off by means of convective heat transfer surfaces arranged in a gascooler located next to the gasification reactor and connected through a duct to the said reactor.
- The gases are solids laden and therefore problems may arise with respect to erosion of the heat transfer surfaces (when the gas velocity is too high) or with respect to fouling/blocking the gas passages between the heat transfer surfaces (when the gas velocity is too low).
- Generally, during cooling processes the gas velocity will decrease when operating at a constant throughput and pressure, to such an extent that fouling/blocking of the equipment may occur (e.g. by sticky particles) and expensive rapping devices are required to avoid fouling/blocking.
- Therefore, there is a need for self-cleaning coolers which rely on the self-cleaning effect of the solids laden gas, are fouling/blocking-free and erosion-free and under normal operating conditions can be operated without the use of (complicated) rapping equipment.
- The invention therefore provides a self-cleaning apparatus for cooling a solids laden hot gas, said apparatus comprising a vessel with a gas inlet and a gas outlet and heat transfer structure comprising a plurality of heat transfer surfaces extending in the vessel between said inlet and said outlet in a longitudinal direction and forming a plurality of gas passages in the said structure, wherein the said plurality of heat transfer surfaces is arranged in such a way that the overall cross-sectional inlet area of the said gas passages in the said structure is larger than the overall cross-sectional outlet area between said gas passages and that the said gas passages are arranged in such a manner that, in operation, the velocity of the gas flowing through the said gas passages, is kept substantially constant between the cross-sectional inlet area of the said gas passages and the cross-sectional outlet area of the said gas passages.

- fig. 1 represents schematically a longitudinal section of a gascooler of the invention;
- figs. 2a and 2b represent schematically partial side views of header arrangements applied in the gascooler of fig. 1;

Advantageously, the tubes are provided with fins. - The overall cross-sectional area decrease of the gas passages between the said heat transfer surfaces is such that the gas flow A is smoothly directed to the said surfaces and the gas flow impingement represented by the arrow C on the heat transfer surfaces is at small angles α such that the gas flow substantially parallel to the said surfaces from erosion point of view. The angle α is defined as follows:
