AUXILIARY BODY, ARRANGEMENT, AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE HEAT EFFICIENCY OF A ROTATING KILN

Номер: WO2011009829A1
Автор: DÜRR, Matthias
Принадлежит:

The invention relates to improving the heat efficiency of a rotating kiln by introducing into the material to be heated auxiliary bodies that by heat conduction give off heat energy thereto. The auxiliary bodies remove the heat energy either from the flame in the rotating kiln owing to their improved absorbency relative to the material to be heated or from an additional auxiliary body heating system outside the rotating kiln. The auxiliary bodies serve as an optimized receiving medium and improve the energy input to the material to be heated. This allows the units to be shortened, thus resulting in further energy savings and a reduction in construction costs. Existing systems can be simply retrofitted. Excess energy, for example from wind power output peaks, can be used for the additional auxiliary body heating system, and non-kiln-compatible energy carriers can be used.

According to the method: a schedule is defined over the time interval/by means of the time division of the set of operating sequences of the N energy distribution devices (B 1 ,B 2 . . . BN), and the schedule is calculated before the start of the time interval/by taking account of the desired operation durations Δi of each energy distribution device and, for the distribution device of order number 1, by searching for the optimal position(s) over the time interval of the operating sequence(s) of this distribution device which make it possible to minimize a function U representative of the fluctuations of the energy throughput over the time interval, the sequences of the other devices retaining the positions of the initial schedule, so as to obtain a resulting optimal schedule; and the above is repeated on the basis of the optimal schedule, using successively the distribution devices of higher order number up to the distribution device of order number N, and that which minimizes function U is adopted.

A sealing system for isolating the environment inside a vitrification container from the outside environment comprises a vitrification container with a lid. The lid comprises two or more electrode seal assemblies through which two or more electrodes may be operatively positioned and extend down through the lid into the vitrification container. The electrodes may move axially up and down through the electrode seal assemblies or lock into place. The electrode seal assemblies each comprise a housing having two halves with recessed ring grooves. Sealing rings with a split may be placed into the grooves. Gas galleries may be machined or cast into the housing such that they are adjacent to the ring grooves. The gas galleries distribute gas onto the external faces of the sealing rings causing a change in pressure resulting in the sealing rings compressing onto the electrodes and forming a seal. 1.
