IMPACT OF PASSAGE STRUCTURE ON LOOP SEAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC
Loop seal is one of the most commonly used non-mechanical valve in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler.When the solids conveyed horizontally from the supply chamber to the recycle chamber, the length of the horizontal section will cause much flow resistance, which not only influences the fan burden but also the mass balance between the furnace and the external loop.In this paper, a high resistant loop seal without aeration in the horizontal passage (H-type loop seal) and a low resistant loop seal with a slope passage (N-type loop seal) was used, respectively.Flow characteristic of quartz sand (Geldart-B particles) in the new type loop seals was studied by comparison with a traditional loop seal (U-type loop seal).The experimental data show that the high resistance in the horizontal passage will weaken the solids recycling capability of the loop seal obviously, so the H-type loop seal is hard to attain a high solids flow rate.However, the slope passage presents a low solids flow resistance, so the pressure drop of the N-type loop seal is much less than the traditional one.Less aeration and less bypassing air are also found with the same solids flow rate through the N-type loop seal.For the N-type loop seal, a small amount of vertical aeration on the supply chamber can further improve the solids recycling capability.
