Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cooling hot bulk material, in particular cement clinker, by means of a cooling gas.
  • the device comprises a cooling grate which conveys a layer of the bulk material from a feed end in a conveying direction to a discharge end and through which cooling gas flows, on which the bulk material to be cooled rests.
  • the cooling grate comprises several planks which are moved forwards and backwards in the conveying direction alternately by a stroke length, the drive of which is controlled in such a way that at least two adjacent planks are moved simultaneously in the forward stroke and not simultaneously in the return stroke.
  • Such cooling devices serve to cool bulk material using gas, in that the bulk material is placed as a bed on a cooling grate and transported along it, while gas is supplied from below the cooling grate for cooling.
  • the cooling gas which is typically cooling air from the lower space of the grate, rises through the cooling grate into the bulk material bed and cools it in the process.
  • the cooling grate has three functions in relation to the bulk material. One function is to support the bulk material to form a material bed, another is the surface for introducing the cooling air, and the other is a transport function for conveying the bulk material from a feed end to a discharge end.
  • Various basic designs have become known for implementing the functions.
  • planks Of interest here is the design with several planks extending in the conveying direction, which are moved back and forth alternately.
  • One difficulty with this conveying principle is that the planks and their surface are exposed to great stresses, namely because of the at least initially or high temperatures of the goods to be cooled and abrasion, particularly with sharp-edged goods such as clinker. This high load leads to considerable wear of the planks.
  • a high cooling effect is important, which is determined, among other things, by the cooling gas throughput through the cooling grate with its cooling gas passage openings and, on the other hand, an efficient and low-wear conveying along the cooling grate by means of the movement of the planks.
  • Ventilation slots are arranged in the space between the long sides of the planks, which extend over the entire length of the plank. They act as air passage openings for the cooling gas. They are provided with a special side-blow profile in order to minimize unwanted entry of bulk material and thus grate fall-through into the grate space. The surface of the planks is swept over by the escaping cooling gas.
  • a protective layer on the planks has the advantage that it offers good protection for the surface of the planks. This can reduce wear on the surface of the planks, particularly in the case of hot, aggressive bulk materials such as clinker.
  • the protective layer has the disadvantages that it creates a flow resistance for the cooling gas flowing upwards from below through the cooling grate and that, at least on the return stroke, it generates a disruptively high frictional force on the bulk material. The latter requires different dimensions of the steel structure and a more powerful drive. This also leads to compaction of the bulk material on the return stroke, which creates additional flow resistance for the cooling gas flowing through the cooling grate, thereby increasing the inherent pressure losses in the cooling gas supply.
  • a smooth design of the planks without a protective layer offers the advantage that only a small return stroke force is required and, due to the lack of a protective layer, only a small pressure loss occurs.
  • the disadvantages are increased wear as a result of the aggressive stress caused by abrasive bulk material. Special materials This disadvantage can be mitigated, but this is costly.
  • Another disadvantage is the increased sensitivity of the plank surface to thermal stress from the hot bulk material bed due to the lack of a protective layer. This becomes a particular risk if the cooling gas supply fails, which then leads to thermal damage to the planks very quickly due to the direct thermal contact between the planks and the hot bulk material.
  • rust penetration can also be a problem, which can be counteracted by high gas speeds, but this leads to a quadratic increase in the inherent pressure losses.
  • a further type of construction is known (DE 10 2010 055 825 B4) in which the planks are designed along their length with zones of rough surface formed by an autogenous wear protection layer, and with zones of smooth surface, with the zones alternating several times.
  • the average coefficient of friction between the bulk material to be cooled and the top of the plank is smaller than in the zone with the autogenous wear protection layer on the plank.
  • a device for cooling hot bulk material in particular cement clinker, by means of a cooling gas, which has a cooling grate through which cooling gas flows and which conveys a layer of the bulk material from a feed end in a conveying direction to a discharge end
  • the cooling grate comprises several planks which are moved forwards and backwards in the conveying direction by a stroke length, the drive of which is controlled in such a way that at least two adjacent planks are moved simultaneously in the forward stroke and non-simultaneously in the return stroke, wherein the planks form a substantially flat support surface for the bulk material
  • at least one plank is designed as a hybrid plank with a different design of the plank surface, which
  • a starting section and/or end section comprising a protective layer of bulk material arranged on the plank surface, whereby an increased coefficient of friction with the bulk material is formed compared to the middle section.
  • the essence of the invention lies in the idea of not providing the planks of the cooling grate with a uniform surface, but rather providing them in their main section (which includes at least the middle section of the plank) with plate covering with a smooth, essentially flat surface for supporting the bulk material (this is also referred to as flat plate covering) and only covering the planks at another specific location, namely outside the at least
  • the plank is to be designed in a central section extending half the length of the plank, with a receptacle for a protective layer of bulk material.
  • This specific location can be a starting section of the plank, or an end section of the plank, or a combination of both, i.e. the starting and end sections of the plank.
  • the panel covering has a smooth surface, and is therefore not provided with a protective layer of bulk material according to the invention (smooth panel covering).
  • the surface used to support the bulk material is therefore either formed by the panel covering, which according to the invention does not have a protective layer of bulk material, or by such a protective layer.
  • the coefficient of friction between this smooth panel covering and the bulk material is smaller than that between the protective layer and the bulk material.
  • the initial section which is arranged immediately in front of the middle section in the conveying direction
  • the middle section extends over a large part (at least half) of the longitudinal extension of the plank and thus forms a main section. It is provided with the smooth plate covering throughout. Due to the smooth plate covering, no protective layer is formed on the middle section, it is free of a protective layer. Since the cooling gas does not have to cross a protective layer and consequently its flow resistance is eliminated, the pressure loss for the The cooling gas is guided from the bottom of the grate through the plank into the bulk material to be cooled.
  • the middle section has no protective layer, only a lower force is required in the return stroke compared to a moving floor with a continuous protective layer, i.e. where the protective layer also exists in the middle section.
  • a protective layer is provided in the critical beginning/end section. This means that the stress and therefore the wear on the planks at these highly stressed points can be minimized. Additional armoring of the plank surface to protect against thermal and abrasive stress is not required, which saves effort. Although there is a local increase in pressure loss at these points due to the protective layer, this is significantly reduced compared to previous designs with a continuous protective layer in accordance with the state of the art because the protective layer is only provided on parts of the plank surface.
  • the driving force required for the return stroke is reduced, which also enables the drive, in particular special hydraulic cylinders and corresponding hydraulic units, to be made smaller and the necessary steel structure to accommodate the cooling grate and its drive to be made lighter.
  • the invention thus enables improved operating behavior, in particular a reduction in pressure losses, while at the same time maintaining a high level of wear protection, whereby the requirements for the drive and steel construction are also reduced.
  • the manufacture and operation of the cooling grate are considerably improved in the manner according to the invention, namely the targeted arrangement of the protective layer in such a way that the protective layer is only arranged in the start/end section, but not in the middle section of the planks of the cooling grate.
  • a starting section is understood to be an area of the cooling grate that is arranged in front of the middle section in the conveying direction. Typically, this is the area in which the bulk material is fed onto the cooling grate (feed end).
  • An end section is understood to be an area of the cooling grate that is arranged after the middle section in the conveying direction. Typically, this is the area in which the bulk material is discharged from the cooling grate (discharge end).
  • planks extend lengthwise in the conveying direction. They are provided with cooling gas passage openings in the beginning, middle and end sections to ventilate the bulk material with cooling gas.
  • the stroke length is the distance by which the planks are moved forwards during a forward movement and backwards during a return stroke. If the stroke length is adjustable, the largest stroke length is the maximum stroke length.
  • a smooth surface is understood to be a flat, unroughened, homogeneously closed surface made of a material, in particular a metal surface without protruding structures.
  • Technically necessary openings, such as those for ventilation slots or fastening devices, are not taken into account here. Thanks to this smoothness, it has a lower coefficient of friction with the bulk material than a rough surface, such as the protective layer against the bulk material.
  • the plate covering has such a smooth surface on its support surface for the bulk material and thus forms a smooth plate covering.
  • the initial and/or final section with the protective layer are expediently designed in such a way that they each have a length that is at least 0.5 times the maximum stroke length, preferably at least 0.9 times.
  • the sections that are particularly subject to high thermal loads The planks at the beginning and end are therefore much better protected.
  • a relatively short protective layer is sufficient because when a plank is pulled back by a full stroke length, the bulk material from the neighboring planks can flow off laterally into the gap created, whereby this still happens in the end section of the neighboring planks protected by the bulk material layer.
  • the protective layer in the area of the beginning and/or end section is preferably no longer than 6 times, more preferably no longer than 12 times the stroke length; with an adjustable stroke length this is related to the maximum possible.
  • the initial section preferably has a greater length than the final section. This takes into account the fact that the thermal load in the initial section is very high and that the effective length of the protective layer is reduced during the return stroke movement, in particular by passing under a feed ramp.
  • receiving troughs in the start and/or end sections are either filled in a targeted manner or material is deposited which forms the protective layer.
  • the receiving troughs can be filled completely or partially with bulk material, for example a layer of gravel material. It can also be provided that part of the bulk material is caught in these receiving troughs during operation, thereby creating an autogenous protective layer.
  • a combination can also be provided, in particular partial filling with another bulk material at the bottom of the receptacles and, if necessary, an autogenous protective layer made of the bulk material on top.
  • the receiving trays are expediently provided with longitudinal and/or transverse subdivisions. This allows the protective layer to be held better. It is advantageous for the longitudinal and transverse subdivisions to be the same height so that their respective upper edges are level.
  • the plate surface in the middle section is at the same level as the surface formed by the protective layer in the initial and/or final sections.
  • this applies to the operating state when the autogenous protective layer is formed. Thanks to this level equality, the bulk material is conveyed and cooled on the planks without any height offset.
  • planks of the device are expediently designed as hybrid planks. However, it is not essential that all planks of the cooling grate are designed as hybrid planks, although in a preferred embodiment all planks can be designed this way.
  • the cooling grate can also advantageously have further planks, in particular also planks that are not hybrid planks. It is advantageous for such non-hybrid planks to be provided with a continuous smooth plate covering in order to minimize the pressure loss for the cooling gas.
  • additional planks can be provided which are provided with a protective layer of bulk material throughout.
  • This can be advantageously provided especially in places where there is a risk of increased thermal stress on the respective plank.
  • edge planks plane on the side edge of the cooling grate, edge plank
  • this is the edge plank on which a higher proportion of the fine fraction of the bulk material.
  • the fine fraction is susceptible to fluidization by the cooling gas, which greatly increases the flow rate and as a result the affected bulk material remains red-hot and extends along the plank like a red-hot river (known in specialist circles as the "Red River” phenomenon).
  • Red River red-hot river
  • the additional plank is particularly advantageous with regard to a fine fraction and the ever-present risk of a localized cooling fault.
  • an increased pressure loss for the cooling gas does occur, but this pressure loss leads to reduced ventilation in the critical area, which reduces the fluidization of the bulk material and thus the flow rate, which is increased with the "Red River".
  • the rough protective layer reduces the conveying speed on this plank, resulting in a slower feed rate with reliable cooling of the bulk material on this plank. Since the bulk material on the edge plank is typically slowed down by friction on the side wall anyway, the slower transport there does not result in any relevant disadvantage.
  • Planks that are more prone to the formation of "red river” do not always need to be designed as additional planks with a continuous protective layer. Often a hybrid plank is sufficient for safe handling. It can therefore be useful if at least one edge plank is designed as a hybrid plank. Preferably, at least one plank immediately adjacent to the edge plank should not be designed as a hybrid plank, but should be designed with a continuous smooth Plate covering. This allows safe and reliable cooling to be achieved with a minimum of friction and pressure losses caused by the protective layer.
  • the plank on the edge furthest from the direction of rotation is preferably designed as an additional or hybrid plank. If the rotary kiln rotates to the right in the conveying direction, the left edge plank in the conveying direction is "far from the direction of rotation" and designed as an additional or hybrid plank, and vice versa for a rotary kiln rotating to the left, the right edge plank is designed accordingly. In certain designs, it may be sufficient if only this edge plank is designed as an additional or hybrid plank and the other planks are designed as conventional smooth planks. This can improve the prevention of "red river” while also reducing pressure loss across a large area in the other planks.
  • the bulk material is typically made up of particles of different sizes; the larger particles form a coarse fraction, the smaller particles a fine fraction.
  • the additional or hybrid plank is expediently arranged on the lateral edge where the fine fraction occurs in greater abundance. In the case of an upstream rotary kiln, this is usually the side furthest from the direction of rotation, as stated above.
  • at least one immediately adjacent plank is not designed as a hybrid plank, but is provided with a consistently smooth plate covering. To better control the cooling effect on the edge planks, it may be advantageous to provide an additional (separate) ventilation device there.
  • the smooth surface of the planks it is expedient to provide, for example, replaceable grate plates which have a smooth cover plate with cooling gas passage openings, in particular (longitudinal) slots in the conveying direction, for cooling gas to escape.
  • This makes it possible to repair the plank surface in an efficient manner by simply replacing the grate plates if it becomes worn.
  • the slots can be produced efficiently using a casting process for the grate plate, either as transverse slots or as longitudinal slots.
  • the design as a longitudinal slot makes it possible to avoid disturbances in the material bed caused by the slots, in particular parasitic vertical mixing.
  • the longitudinal slots are preferably arranged symmetrically to a center line of the grate plate, which results in a more uniform symmetrical cooling effect.
  • collecting channels extending in the longitudinal direction are expediently arranged at a predetermined distance. They catch material that falls through and ensure that it can be caught again by the cooling gas flow and blown upwards out of the longitudinal slots back into the bulk material.
  • the predetermined distance ensures that a desired cross-sectional width is maintained between the collecting channel and the wall of the grate plate in order to achieve predetermined flow conditions for the cooling gas flow.
  • the collecting channels are advantageously made as a single piece as a cast part with the grate plate, which makes production and maintaining the predetermined distance simpler and more cost-effective. It is advantageous if the grate plates and/or receiving trays are designed as exchangeable modular units for the planks. This enables particularly efficient replacement.
  • a replaceable extension bracket can be provided at the end section of each plank, which forms an extension of the support surface for the bulk material and is not ventilated. This means that no cooling gas is conducted through the extension bracket.
  • the extension bracket thus forms an uncooled end section of the respective plank, from which the (at this point already largely) cooled bulk material slides off and is thus thrown off the cooling grate.
  • the extension brackets preferably do not have a protective layer, but are provided with a smooth plate covering, which can in particular be implemented using grate plates. Since this slipping is particularly wear-intensive due to the abrasive bulk material, this wear occurs on the relatively easily replaceable extension brackets and not on the actual planks, which are thus protected.
  • the extension brackets expediently have an armor plating on their free end. Thermal spraying, spray melting and welding processes are generally used to apply the armor layer. Commonly used materials include cobalt-based alloys (such as tungsten carbide), nickel-based alloys, chromium carbide alloys, etc.
  • the extension brackets are preferably no longer than the length of the initial or final sections, preferably half the length.
  • planks are designed differently when viewed transversely to the conveying direction in terms of their protective coating.
  • planks with an increased coefficient of friction in at least some sections are arranged on at least one of the side edges of the cooling grate, and planks with a consistently smooth surface are arranged in the middle and/or on the other side edge.
  • hybrid planks with their increased coefficient of friction in at least some sections are arranged on at least one of the side edges of the cooling grate, and planks without a protective layer, and therefore with a smooth surface, are arranged in the middle and/or on the other side edge. In this way, an optimal cooling effect can be achieved across the width of the cooling grate by only arranging planks with an increased coefficient of friction, hybrid planks or planks with a continuous protective layer in places identified as critical (particularly near the edge).
  • the invention also expediently includes an arrangement for cooling with several, at least two, cooling grates arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction, each of which has planks.
  • a cooling section is thus formed.

These modular sections I, II and III are typically dimensioned so that they are easy to transport and enable an efficient construction of the entire cooling grate.

For assembly, sections I, II and III are put together one behind the other and the individual lengths of the planks are connected to one another so that a continuous plank is created. Typical dimensions for such sections are, for example:
  • a preferred length for a starting section 41 and/or an end section 43 is, for example, 2.2 m
  • the length of a modular section I, II and III is expediently an integer multiple of this, for example twice, i.e. 4.4 m.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de refroidissement de matériau chaud en vrac, en particulier du clinker de ciment, au moyen d'un gaz de refroidissement (80). Une grille de refroidissement (3) transporte une couche du matériau en vrac (9) et est traversée par un gaz de refroidissement. La grille de refroidissement comprend plusieurs barres (4) qui sont déplacées en alternance vers l'avant et vers l'arrière dans la direction de transport et sur lesquelles se trouve le matériau en vrac (9). Des barres adjacentes (4) sont déplacées en même temps pendant le cycle d'avance et à des moments différents pendant le cycle de retour. Selon l'invention, au moins une barre est formée sous la forme d'une barre hybride (4*) avec une configuration variable de la surface de barre (60), ayant une partie centrale (42) avec un revêtement de barre lisse (6) et également une partie de début (41) et/ou une partie de fin (42) comprenant une couche de protection (5) de matériau en vrac (90) située sur la surface de barre (60). Ceci assure une protection contre l'usure. Ceci produit un coefficient de frottement accru pour le matériau en vrac par rapport à la partie centrale. La suppression de la couche de protection dans la partie centrale, qui s'étend sur au moins la moitié de la longueur de la barre hybride, a pour effet de réduire la perte de pression du gaz de refroidissement et de réduire le compactage problématique du matériau en vrac pendant le cycle de retour. Les dépenses d'exploitation sont réduites et l'effet de refroidissement est amélioré.
