nagrzewanie kratownicy regeneratora Explanation: A regenerator consists of a regenerator chamber in which a checkerwork (or just checkers) of refractory bricks has been stacked. In one cycle the checker is heated up by flue gases, subsequently in the following stage (20-30 minutes) the heat is transferred to combustion air http://www.lehigh.edu/imi/teched/GlassProcess/Lectures/Lectu... - Regenerator (checker) burning every 6 months The regenerator’s key function is to capture heat from the exhaust stream and use it to preheat combustion air before it is used in the process. It achieves this through a honeycomb of refractory bricks with a large amount of surface area called checkers. Over the course of months, material from the exhaust stream condenses and solidifies on the bricks, which cause the flues to choke off and become inefficient at transferring heat. This causes the checker pack to cool down, which limits the effectiveness of the 3R process and causes opacity to increase until the pack heats back up. Burning the checkers will consist of reheating the built up materials to the point that they liquefy and run out of the flue. This will allow the checker pack flues to open back up and become more efficient in transferring and retaining heat. This process takes 1 week to complete. - Regenerator bottom clean out every 6 months During the process of checker burning, a large amount of debris collects in the base of the generators and needs to be cleaned out. There is also an accumulation of batch particulate from furnace carryover that collects in the base of the regenerators and needs to be cleaned out. This process can take up to two weeks depending on the amount of buildup. http://www.dec.ny.gov/dardata/boss/afs/permits/8320500041000... |
