Abstract

Each of vertical frame members which constitute a frame body of a high-temperature denitration apparatus and which are erected in a spaced-apart relationship in a direction of exhaust gas flow is provided by a pillar member. The pillar member is an integral combination of a web with upstream and downstream flanges so as to improve thermal conductivity of the same. The web of the pillar member is formed with openings for suppression of thermal capacity to a minimum so as to reduce in weight the web and enhance a temperature rising velocity of the web.

Claims (16)

1. A frame structure for a high-temperature denitration apparatus, said frame structure comprising:

a box-shaped casing with front and rear open ends for passage of hot exhaust gas and a frame body within said casing,

said frame body comprising a plurality of vertical frame members erected in a spaced-apart relationship widthwise and in a direction of exhaust gas flow of said casing, and a plurality of horizontal frame members fixed to said vertical frame members into a latticework, thereby providing spaces to be filled with catalysts in a plurality of widthwise rows and in a plurality of vertical stages within the casing,

each of said vertical frame members in the direction of exhaust gas flow being provided by a pillar member which is an integral combination of a web with upstream and downstream flanges, said web being formed with openings for minimization of thermal capacity.

2. The frame structure according to claim 1 , wherein the openings have a polygon shape.

3. The frame structure according to claim 1 , wherein the openings have a hexagonal shape.

4. The frame structure according to claim 1 , wherein the openings have a circular shape.

5. The frame structure according to claim 1 , wherein the openings have an oval shape.

6. A frame structure for a high-temperature denitration apparatus, said frame structure comprising:

a box-shaped casing with front and rear open ends for passage of hot exhaust gas and a frame body within said casing,

said frame body comprising a plurality of vertical frame members erected in a spaced-apart relationship widthwise and in a direction of exhaust gas flow of said casing, and a plurality of horizontal frame members fixed to said vertical frame members into a latticework, thereby providing spaces to be filled with catalysts in a plurality of widthwise rows and in a plurality of vertical stages within the casing,

said vertical frame members in the direction of exhaust gas flow being provided by a pillar member which is an integral combination of a web with upstream and downstream flanges, said web being formed with an opening for minimization of thermal capacity.

7. The frame structure according to claim 6 , wherein the opening has a polygon shape.

8. The frame structure according to claim 6 , wherein the opening has a hexagonal shape.

9. The frame structure according to claim 6 , wherein the opening has a circular shape.

10. The frame structure according to claim 6 , wherein the opening has an oval shape.
