Treated water drying device and boiler system including the same
A treated water drying device 20 for vaporizing treated water by heat of a combustion gas, the device 20 including a housing 21 , a combustion gas supply port 26 for supplying the combustion gas to the housing 21 , a water supply portion 27 for vaporizing the treated water by bringing the treated water into contact with the combustion gas supplied to the housing 21 , and an exhaust port 28 for discharging a water-containing gas including the vaporized treated water to an outside of the housing 21 . The exhaust port 28 is disposed at a lowermost part of the housing 21 and opens in a direction crossing a vertical direction. The housing 21 has a bottom 22 including an inclined portion 23 formed toward the exhaust port 28.
1. A boiler system comprising:
a boiler;
a desulfurization device for desulfurizing an exhaust gas discharged from the boiler by bringing the exhaust gas into contact with an absorption liquid; and
a treated water drying device for vaporizing treated water by heat of a combustion gas,
wherein the treated water drying device includes:
a housing having at least a pair of opposed, parallel, substantially vertical sidewalls, one of the pair of substantially vertical sidewalls defining a side surface of the housing;
a combustion gas supply port in an upper portion of the housing for supplying the combustion gas to the housing;
a treated water supply portion in the upper portion of the housing for supplying the treated water into the housing;
an exhaust port for discharging a water-containing gas including the treated water that has been supplied to the housing and vaporized to an outside of the housing,
the exhaust port is formed on the side surface of the housing and opening in a direction crossing a vertical direction,
the housing has a bottom connected to a bottom surface of the exhaust port and the housing bottom including an inclined portion and being formed as a solid, continuous, closed concave member extending from the other of the pair of vertical sidewalls, from a vertical position substantially above the bottom surface of the exhaust port along a smoothly curved concave path to the point that the housing bottom is connected to the bottom surface of the exhaust port,
wherein the combustion gas includes the exhaust gas discharged from the boiler, and
wherein the treated water includes the absorption liquid that has contacted the exhaust gas and discharged from the desulfurization device.
2. The boiler system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inclined portion is formed at an angle, which is formed by a tangent line L 1 passing through the point that the housing bottom is connected to the bottom surface of the exhaust port and a horizontal line L 2 , is not less than a repose angle of solids included in the combustion gas.
3. The boiler system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inclined portion is formed at an angle, which is formed by a tangent line L 1 passing through the point that the housing bottom is connected to the bottom surface of the exhaust port and a horizontal line L 2 , of not less than 30° and less than 90° with respect to a horizontal direction.
4. The boiler system according to claim 1 , comprising an
exhaust duct connected to the exhaust port,
wherein the exhaust duct includes:
an exhaust duct body portion giving passage to the water-containing gas discharged from the exhaust port; and
a solid collection portion defining a collection space communicating with an opening formed in a lower part of the exhaust duct body portion, the collection space being provided to collect solids included in the water-containing gas passing through the exhaust duct body portion.
5. The boiler system according to claim 4 ,
wherein the housing includes a first protruding member protruding from an upper end of the exhaust port into the housing.
6. The boiler system according to claim 4 ,
wherein the solid collection portion includes an opening/closing member for opening/closing the opening.
7. The boiler system according to claim 4 ,
wherein the exhaust duct body portion includes a second protruding member protruding from an upper inner surface of the solid collection portion toward the opening.
