Abstract

An annular gas feed element for use in gasification plants with a dry fuel supply. A gas feed ring element for tensioning and fluidizing gas/solid suspensions, in which gas feed ring element there is a housing ring which has a circumferential recess on its inner side, a support ring with a multiplicity of openings, filter material fitted between the support ring and the internal diameter of the housing ring, where the recess and the filter material delimit a distributor chamber, and a gas feed arranged from outside into the distributor chamber. The flangeless gas feed ring element makes rapid tensioning possible and secondly improves the fluidizing behavior and therefore the flow behavior.

Claims (33)

1. A gas feed ring element for tensioning and fluidizing gas/solid suspensions, wherein the gas feed ring element comprises:

a housing ring which comprises a circumferential recess on its inner side,

a support ring comprising a multiplicity of openings,

filter material fitted between the support ring and an internal diameter of the housing ring,

wherein the circumferential recess and the filter material delimit a distributor chamber that defines an annular volume, and

a gas feed arranged from outside into the distributor chamber,

wherein the gas feed opens tangentially into the annular volume of the distributor chamber.

2. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a baffle plate arranged in the distributor chamber in an inlet region of the gas feed.

3. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the multiplicity of openings are arranged at an angle with respect to a surface of the support ring, which angle differs from the perpendicular.

4. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the multiplicity of openings comprise different angles among one another.

5. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the gas feed is arranged at an angle with respect to a surface of the support ring, which angle differs from perpendicular.

6. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the filter material is formed with metal fabric.

7. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the filter material is formed with sintered metal.

8. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the filter material is formed with porous metal.

9. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the housing ring, the filter material and the support ring are welded to form a unit.

10. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the housing ring is shrink-fitted onto the support ring together with the filter material.

11. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the gas feed ring element is devoid of a connector flange.

12. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein a solid is provided by combustible dust, and the gas feed ring element is arranged at the bottom of a lock for feeding in the combustible dust at a tensioning pressure of between 2.5 and 8 MPa.

13. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the gas feed ring element is arranged between a flange of a lock and a flange of an isolation valve.

14. The gas feed ring element as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the gas feed ring element is inserted into a pneumatic delivery line.
