Abstract

The present invention is related to the separator (dust chamber) for separating solid particles from vapor-gas mixture, particularly to the structure of the dust chamber belonging amongst installation of the plant processing the fossil fuels or materials containing organic matter. The dust chamber ( 1 ) for separating solid particles from vapor-gas mixture comprises main body ( 2 ) with inner refractory lining ( 7 ) arranged to the inner surface of said main body, first and second stage cyclones ( 3, 4 ), lamella compensators ( 18, 19 ), dust removal conduits ( 5, 15 ) and inlet conduit ( 13 ) of the vapor-gas mixture into the first cyclone ( 3 ). The main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ) is manufactured in all height from the cylinder of equal diameter and first and second stage cyclones ( 3, 4 ) are placed outside of the main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ). For the refractory lining of the main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ) and first and second stage cyclones ( 3, 4 ) the non-porous and wear proof material, for example concrete, is used.

Claims (12)

1. A separator or dust chamber ( 1 ) for oil shale separation, the separator comprising a main body ( 2 ) with an internal refractory lining ( 7 ) placed on an internal side-surface of said main body, a first stage cyclone ( 3 ), a second stage cyclone ( 4 ), lamella compensators ( 18 , 19 ), dust removal conduits ( 5 , 15 ), an inlet conduit for vapour-gas mixture ( 13 ) to first stage cyclone ( 3 ), and an inlet vent ( 9 ) in the main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ) for the vapour-gas mixture,

wherein the vapour-gas mixture contains semi-coke particles,

wherein a diameter of a cylinder of the main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber is uniform in its full height, with its lower end ( 11 ) having an outlet vent ( 8 ) for the removal of semi-coke particles,

wherein said inlet vent ( 9 ) is located above the outlet vent ( 8 ) on a side of the main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ),

wherein the first and second stage cyclones ( 3 , 4 ) are located outside the main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ), and

wherein the internal refractory lining ( 7 ) of the main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ) comprises a wear-proof and non-porous thermal insulation material.

2. The separator for oil shale separation according to claim 1 wherein said vapour-gas mixture inlet conduit ( 13 ) to first stage cyclone ( 3 ) is located vertically on an upper end ( 10 ) of said main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ), so that its axis is on the same direction and parallel to a vertical axis of the main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber.

3. The separator for oil shale separation according to claim 1 wherein the wear-proof and non-porous thermal insulation material is concrete.

4. The separator for oil shale separation according to claim 1 wherein said first and second stage cyclones ( 3 , 4 ) are connected by dust channels ( 5 ) with the lower end ( 11 ) of said main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ), whereas dust channels ( 5 ) are directed above the outlet vent ( 8 ) located in said main body ( 2 ) of the dust chamber ( 1 ).

5. The separator for oil shale separation according to claim 1 wherein said second stage cyclone ( 4 ) has a lower hydraulic resistance.

6. The separator for oil shale separation according to claim 1 wherein an internal surface of first and second stage cyclones ( 3 , 4 ) is lined with a wear-proof material ( 16 ).

7. The separator for oil shale separation according to claim 6 wherein said wear-proof material ( 16 ) used for the internal surface of first and second stage cyclones ( 3 , 4 ) is concrete.
