Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a duct wall surface structure which, in a flue of an iron-sheet duct with a hopper through which a solid-gas two-phase stream flows, can enhance the solid particle trapping efficiency of the hopper and reduce the outflow of the solid particles to the duct downstream side. The duct wall surface structure of a flue ( 10 ) through which a solid-gas two-phase stream containing large-diameter ash ( 50 ) flows includes a first hopper ( 20 A) installed at the lower end of a first vertical flue section ( 12 ), installed in such a direction that the stream has a vertical component of velocity, to collect the large-diameter ash ( 50 ) from the stream, wherein a low-rebound part ( 60 ) having a lower coefficient of restitution than an iron sheet is provided on an inclined surface ( 21 ), with which the large-diameter ash ( 50 ) collides, on the upstream side in the flow direction from the first hopper ( 20 A).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A duct wall surface structure of a duct, wherein the duct is formed from an iron-sheet material and is configured to flow a solid-gas two-phase stream containing solid particles therethrough, wherein the duct wall surface structure comprises a hopper which is provided at a lower end of the duct which is installed in such a direction that the stream has a vertical component of velocity and which is configured to collect the solid particles from the stream, wherein a low-rebound structure part, having a lower coefficient of restitution than the iron-sheet material of the duct, is provided in a region of an inner wall surface of the duct with which the solid particles collide, on an upstream side or a downstream side in a flow direction from the hopper, wherein the low-rebound structure part is a low-rebound structure part forming member which is installed opposing to and along the inner wall surface of the duct, the inner wall surface being inclined, and elastically deforms upon collision of the solid particles therewith, and wherein the low-rebound structure part is a large number of wires which is fixed on the inclined inner wall surface of the duct. 2. The duct wall surface structure according to claim 1 , wherein the solid-gas two-phase stream is combustion exhaust gas which is discharged from a coal-fired boiler and contains coal ash. 3. The duct wall surface structure according to claim 1 , wherein the low-rebound structure part is a flat-sheet material which is installed on the inclined inner wall surface of the duct. 4. The duct wall surface structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a second hopper provided at a lower end of a flue section of the duct, which is connected on a downstream side in the a direction of a horizontal flue section of the duct and installed in such a direction that the stream has a vertical component of velocity to collect the solid particles from the stream, wherein a second low-rebound structure part which has a lower coefficient of restitution than an iron sheet is provided inside a flow channel of the duct in a region of the inner wall surface with which the solid particles collide on a downstream side in the flow direction from the second hopper. 5. The duct wall surface structure according to claim 4 , wherein the solid-gas two-phase stream is combustion exhaust gas which is discharged from a coal-fired boiler and contains coal ash. 6. The duct wall surface structure according to claim 4 , wherein a third low-rebound structure part which has a blind structure composed of a plurality of faces facing a horizontal stream and has a lower coefficient of restitution than an iron sheet is provided inside a flow channel of the duct on a downstream side in the flow direction from the second hopper or above the second hopper.
