Definitions
- the invention relates to a method as set forth in the pream ⁇ ble of claim 1 and to an apparatus as set forth in the preamble of claim 4 for the equalization of pressure when feeding material into a pressurized space by means of a piston feeder.
- Patent application FI A 921403 discloses a method and appa ⁇ ratus for feeding material into a pressurized space.
- This prior known solution involves the use of two pistons or plungers one nested inside the other, the material to be fed being first introduced into a piston-cylinder through a charge opening which is shut by bringing the outer piston to a bottom position in the piston-cylinder. Thereafter, the inner piston operable within the outer piston is used for carrying the material into a pressurized space. A gate leading to the pressurized space is opened after the charge opening has been shut and separate pressure and gas sources are used for maintaining the pressure as well as the gas composition in the cylinder as equal as possible to that existing in the pressurized space.
- a solution of the invention is capable of securing the pressure fluctuations within an acceptable range as material is fed into a pressurized space by the high-speed action of a feed piston.
- the energy required for a piston feeder in the delivery of material is preferably acquired from a pressurized space. In fact, all that is required is to overcome the resistance caused by kinetic frictions of the pistons.
- the power acquired by the apparatus from external energy sources does not show sudden fluctuations. The energy demand is lower and no pressure accumulators are needed to produce a high peak power for a piston, feeder.
- the pressure differences between a carburator and a pressure chamber at various stages of material feed and process can be minimized.
- the gas used in high-pressure combustion is nitrogen.
- a solution of the invention is capable of consid ⁇ erably reducing the loss of nitrogen.
- by controlling the pressure difference it is possible to block the escape of combustion gases from the carburator back into the feeding chamber.
- fig. 1 shows a piston feeder exploiting the invention
- - fig. 2 shows an equalizing piston of the invention
- Fig. 1 illustrates a piston feeder for delivering material into a pressurized space.
- the apparatus corresponds essentially to that described in the Patent application FI A 921403.
- the apparatus is used for feeding a solid fuel into a pressurized silo 1 by carry- ing the fuel along a supply pipe to a connector 30 included in the apparatus.
- the housing of a solid-material feeding apparatus comprises a cylinder 8, whose wall is provided with an opening 28 in line with the connector 30 for delivering a solid material into the apparatus.
- the cylinder 8 is provided with a cover 31 which is fastened to the flanged top rim of the cylinder.
- the bottom rim of the cylinder is provided with a collar 32, to which is fastened a collar 33 included in a feeding chamber 12 and located below the cylinder. Between the collars or flanges 32 and 33 is fitted a spacer 34 and the inner surface of the spacer is provided with a gasket 40.
- a piston 9 is operated in the cylinder 8 by means of a hydraulic actuator 35 mounted on the cover 31.
- the piston In its rear- ward position, the piston has its leading edge flush with the top edge of the opening 28 such that the opening is open and, its forward position, the piston's leading edge is fitted to gasket 40 between cylinder 8 and feeding chamber 12, said feeding chamber 12 becoming tightly sealed on its side facing the cylinder 8.
- the piston shuts off said opening 28 in the wall of cylinder 8.
- the piston 9 comprises an outer piston 10 and an inner piston 11, which is operable relative to the outer piston 10. In its rearward position, the inner piston lies within the outer piston and its travel path extends in its forward position all the way to the bottom of feeding chamber 12.
- the inner piston is operated by means of a hydraulic inner- piston actuator 36 , which is connected via a conduit 56 and control elements to a pressure cylinder 50 which the inner piston receives its operating energy from, as described hereinbelow.
- a hydraulic inner- piston actuator 36 which is connected via a conduit 56 and control elements to a pressure cylinder 50 which the inner piston receives its operating energy from, as described hereinbelow.
- gasket rings 37 Between the inner piston 11 and the outer piston 10 are fitted gasket rings 37 for sealing the inter- piston contact surface.
- the gasket rings can be teflon- coated steel rings and tha outer piston is provided with corresponding grooves therefor.
- the bottom rim of feeding chamber 12 is fitted with a pres ⁇ sure gate 13 pivotable about a hinge pin 38 and providing a closure means between the feeding chamber 12 and a space 39 leading to the silo 1.
- the space 39 is defined by a wall 42 having its bottom section provided with a collar 44 to which is fastened a collar 46 included in the pressurized silo 1.
- the silo 1 is provided with a pipe 48 to connect therewith a compression cylinder 50 with a compression piston 52 fitted therein.
- the compression piston 52 is part of a hydraulic mecha ⁇ nism 54, which is further linked by way of a hydraulic cylinder 66, a valve mechanism 72 and a hydraulic piping 56, serving as energy transmitters, to a drive unit for the inner piston 11 of a piston feeder.
- the hydraulic mechanism 54 consists of said compression cylinder 50, inside which is fitted the compression piston 52 sealed against the inner walls of the cylinder 50 by means of gaskets 58 mounted on the piston.
- the compression cylinder 50 is fastened by its bottom collars or flanges 60 to a spacer element 62, which is further fastened to the pipe 48 extending to the silo 1.
- the bottom section of said spacer element is fitted with a filter 63 for blocking the passage of solid material from the pressurized silo into the compression cylinder.
- the filter can also be located in some part of the pipe 48.
- the compression cylinder has its top collar 64 fastened to a bottom plate 68 included in the hydraulic cylinder 66 mount ⁇ ed thereupon. Inside the hydraulic cylinder is fitted a hydraulic piston (not shown), which is permanently linked to a rod 70 included in the compression piston 52 and extending through the bottom plate 68.
- valve mechanism 72 On top of the hydraulic cylin ⁇ der is the valve mechanism 72 for controlling a hydraulic fluid as required by various operating sequences of the apparatus.
- the valve mechanism is connected means of a pipe 74 with the bottom section of the hydraulic cylinder below the hydraulic piston. Extending from the valve mechanism is also the pipe or conduit 56 to the drive unit for the inner piston of a pressure feeder, as pointed out above.
- the valve mechanism further includes hydraulic pumps for pumping a hydraulic fluid to various sections of a hydraulic system, as described hereinbelow.
- the bottom plate of the hydraulic cylinder is provided with an opening 76, which is fitted with an indicator 78 showing the position of the piston.
- the duration of a single full working sequence or cycle is about 30 seconds.
- the outer piston 10 is re ⁇ tracted to a rearward position and the pressure gate 13 is closed. Above the pressure gate 13 exists an atmo ⁇ spheric pressure and below e.g. a pressure of 30 bars.
- a charge 80 of solid material is delivered through the feeding connector on top of the pressure gate.
- the com ⁇ pression piston 52 lies about half-way down the compres ⁇ sion cylinder 50 and being advanced towards the bottom of the compression cylinder by using the valve mechanism for pumping a hydraulic fluid through the pipe 74 from below to above the hydraulic piston.
- the outer piston 10 is extended to a forward position towards the pressure chamber such that its leading edge comes into a contact with the sealing surface included in the junction between the cylinder and the feeding chamber (fig.
- the inner piston 11 lies within the outer piston 10 at this point.
- the solid material 80 is retained in an isolated space whose pressure is equalized with the space below the pressure gate 13, the latter space being in communication with the pressurized feeding silo. This is effected by introducing into this space a gas having a pressure equal to that in the feeding silo.
- the final pressure equalization is effected by opening a valve (not shown) included in a pipe connecting said spaces.
- the compression piston 52 is almost in its bottom position, which it reaches prior to opening the pressure gate 13 (fig. 3c).
- valve mechanism In this sequence of a cycle, the valve mechanism is con ⁇ trolled such that the silo pressure, acting through the pipe 48 on the bottom surface of the compression piston, is transmitted under the control of said valve mechanism 72 through the hydraulic mechanism 66 and piping 56 to act on and operate the inner piston of a pressure feeder.
- the compression piston 52 travels to its top posi- tion and the inner piston 11 of a pressure feeder pushes to the forward position towards the pressurized space (fig. 3 ), the solid material charge 80 progressing into the space over on the other side of the gate. Since the pressurized space has a volume which remains constant during this temporally relatively short sequence, all that the piston-operating mechanisms are required to produce is a force needed for overcoming the kinetic frictions of the inner piston and compression piston.
- the outer and inner pistons as well as the pressure gate and compression piston and valves are con ⁇ trolled relatively synchronized, whereby the pressure gate can only be open when the feeding chamber is pressurized and the outer piston is in a tight abutment against the top edge of said feeding chamber to seal the pressure chamber.
- the operating equipment for the pistons and a drive mechanism (not shown) for the pressure gate are preferably linked to each other. There are several options to achieve this.
