Abstract

An arrangement and a method in a soda recovery boiler. The soda recovery boiler comprises a second pass which is provided with at least one superheater and a second pass ash hopper, a front and/or rear wall of the ash hopper being connected to steam circulation of the soda recovery boiler.

First claim

That which is claimed:

1 . An arrangement in a soda recovery boiler, the soda recovery boiler comprising:
a second pass, the second pass being provided with at least one superheater; and a second pass ash hopper, at least one of a front or a rear wall of the ash hopper being connected to steam circulation of the soda recovery boiler.

2 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the soda recovery boiler further comprises a drum; and the drum is connected directly to at least one of the front the rear wall, the drum being configured for feeding steam.

3 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the soda recovery boiler further comprises a drum; and the drum is connected indirectly to at least one of the front the rear wall for feeding steam.

4 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein:
the soda recovery boiler further comprises a furnace before the superheaters; and the furnace is provided with a steam screen pipe system connected to at least one of the front or the rear wall of the ash hopper, the steam screen pipe system being configured for feeding steam.

5 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein:
the soda recovery boiler further comprises a furnace before the superheaters; and
the furnace comprises a furnace roof superheater connected to at least one of the front or the rear wall of the ash hopper, the furnace roof superheater being configured for feeding steam.

6 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the second pass ash hopper comprises an ash hopper roof superheater connected to at least one of the front or the rear wall of the ash hopper, the ash hopper roof superheater being configured for feeding steam.

7 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the front and rear walls of the ash hopper are connected to the steam circulation in series so that steam is fed from the front wall of the ash hopper to the rear wall thereof.

8 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the front and rear walls of the ash hopper are connected to the steam circulation in series so that steam is fed from the rear wall of the ash hopper to the front wall thereof.

9 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the front and rear walls of the ash hopper are connected to the steam circulation in parallel so that only some of the steam to be conveyed to the front and rear walls is fed to each of them.

10 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the front wall of the ash hopper is connected to the steam circulation and the rear wall is water-cooled.

11 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the rear wall of the ash hopper is integrated into a front wall of the boiler bank, which is connected to water circulation.

12 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein steam is arranged to be fed from at least one of the front or the rear wall of the ash hopper to a second pass side wall.

13 . An arrangement as claimed in claim 11 , wherein steam is arranged to be fed from the second pass side wall to a hanging superheater arranged inside the second pass.

14 . A method in a soda recovery boiler, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a soda recovery boiler comprising:
a second pass;
at least one superheater positioned in the second pass; and
a second pass ash hopper; and
cooling the second pass by conveying steam to at least one of a front or a rear wall of the second pass ash hopper.

15 . A method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein:
the soda recovery boiler further comprises a drum; and the method further comprises the step of feeding steam from the drum directly to at least one of the front or the rear wall of the ash hopper.

16 . A method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein:
the soda recovery boiler further comprises a drum; and the method further comprises the step of feeding steam from the drum via a temperature surface to at least one of the front or the rear wall of the second pass ash hopper.

17 . A method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein:
the soda recovery boiler further comprises a drum; and the method further comprises the step of feeding the steam from at least one of the front or the rear wall of the ash hopper directly to the drum.

18 . A method as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising the step of feeding the steam from at least one of the front or the rear wall of the ash hopper to a temperature surface of the soda recovery boiler.
