Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An exhaust duct and boiler can appropriately collect solid particles in flue gas by way of being provided with: a flue ( 40 ) in which flue gas can flow; a first hopper ( 61 ) that is provided in the flue ( 40 ) and that can collect solid particles (PA) in the flue gas; and a first baffle plate ( 71 ) and a second baffle plate ( 72 ) that are resisting members capable of blocking the flow of solid particles (PA) from the first hopper ( 61 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An exhaust duct comprising: a flue gas passage in which flue gas can flow; a hopper which is provided in the flue gas passage and can collect solid particles in the flue gas; and resisting members which can block outflow of the solid particles from the hopper, wherein the resisting members include a baffle plate which is disposed on an upper portion of the hopper along a horizontal direction intersecting a flow direction of the flue gas, wherein the baffle plate includes a first baffle plate which is disposed on the upper portion of the hopper and a downstream side end portion in the flow direction of the flue gas, and a second baffle plate which is disposed on the upper portion of the hopper and at an intermediate position in the flow direction of the flue gas, and wherein the second baffle plate is disposed such that a lower end portion in a vertical direction is inclined toward the downstream side in the flow direction of the flue gas, and the second baffle plate is disposed above a storage portion of the hopper. 2. The exhaust duct according to claim 1 , wherein a collision surface of the first baffle plate with respect to the solid particles facing the flow direction of the flue gas is disposed so as to be toward a bottom portion side of the hopper. 3. The exhaust duct according to claim 1 , wherein the hopper is formed so as to be concaved from the flue gas passage toward the lower side in the vertical direction, and the resisting members are disposed so as not to protrude toward the flue gas passage in the hopper. 4. The exhaust duct according to claim 1 , wherein a low repulsion portion having a lower repulsion coefficient than that of an inner wall surface of the flue gas passage is provided on an upstream side or a downstream side of the hopper in the flow direction of the flue gas. 5. A boiler comprising: a furnace which has a hollow shape and is provided along a vertical direction; a combustion device which blows a fuel toward the inner portion of the furnace and combusts the fuel; the exhaust duct according to claim 1 which is connected to a downstream side in a flow direction of a flue gas in the furnace; and a heat collection portion which is provided in the exhaust duct and can collect heat in the flue gas.
