Pipe and guide element for installation in a pipe
A tube for the conduction or discharge of wet flue gases subjected to a scrubbing has a helically formed guide element on an inner surface of the tube and having a plurality of turns. A film trap is provided on the inner surface of the tube between adjacent turns of the guide element.
1. A generally vertical tube for upward conduction or discharge along an axis of wet flue gases subjected to a scrubbing, the tube comprising: a helically formed guide element directly an inner surface of the tube and having a plurality of turns; a film trap formed by a generally axially extending planar or curved plate projecting inwardly from the inner surface of the tube between adjacent turns of the guide element so as to intercept droplets on the inner surface; and at least one weir on the guide element and provided with a discharge channel.
2. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the guide element has a width of 1/80 D-⅕ D, where D is an inner diameter of the tube.
3. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein a slope of the guide element is ½ D to 10 D, where D=an inner diameter of the tube.
4. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein an inclination of the guide element from a center of the tube to an inner surface of the tube is 0°-60°.
5. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein an inner edge of the guide element is canted in a gas-flow direction.
6. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the guide element is formed concave over its width.
7. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the guide element is formed as a passage or groove.
8. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the inner surface of the tube is formed by an inner tube arranged in an outer casing.
9. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the tube is formed as a wet chimney.
10. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the film trap is associated with a discharge pipe.
11. The tube according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a gas flow guide portion below the guide element.
12. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the guide element narrows along a length of the tube.
13. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the guide element has a varying slope.
14. The tube according to claim 1 , wherein the tube has two or more of the guide elements.
15. A tube for the conduction or discharge of wet flue gases subjected to a scrubbing, the tube comprising:
a helically formed guide element on an inner surface of the tube and having a plurality of turns; and
a film trap on the inner surface of the tube between adjacent turns of the guide element and formed by an axially extending discharge pipe into which the guide element opens.
16. The tube according to claim 15 , wherein the discharge pipe bridges the guide element by means of a pipe narrowing.
