Patent GB-686077-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the treatment of pulverulent substances with gases
IPC: C04B2/12
Filed: 1950-06-27
Abstract: <PICT:0686077/III/1> In a tower in which pulverulent limestone falls by gravity in counterflow relationship to hot gases converting it to quicklime, the tower is formed with a series of superposed and alternating oppositely inclined planes S which at their top ends 8 are spaced further from projections 7 formed in the tower walls than are the bottom ends 9.  An oil burner projects through an orifice 17 in a cone members 13 and secondary air supplied to a lower cooling section 18 of the tower by a fan 21 passes partly through a chamber 16 and the orifice 17 to the burner, and partly from the base of the tower carrying cooled quicklime through a pipe 23 to a separator 24, the air being re-cycled by a fan 30. Material falling through the small openings F is caught up by gases rising through the larger openings f and is carried by the major part of the gases over the next lower plane 5 where it is deposited owing to the gases losing velocity in the widening space above said lower plane.  Escape of gases upwards through the smaller openings F is said to be hindered by the formation therein of fluidized beds of the pulverulent material.

Abstract: 1,037,415. Forced flow once-through boilers. FOSTER WHEELER Ltd. April 25, 1963 [April 30, 1962], No. 16516/62. Heading F4A. In a forced flow oncethrough boiler having a tubular evaporation section EV leading to a tubular superheating section S, there is provided between the two sections a collecting chamber 28 for the steam and water mixture produced in the evaporating section and a substantial portion of the water in the mixture is allowed or caused to separate and to be recirculated by natural circulation to and through the evaporating section combining with the forced flow therethrough while the steam with the remainder of the water entrained therein passes to the superheating section. A downcomer tube 34 connects the collecting chamber 28 to the inlet end of the evaporating section and less heat is transferred to it than to the surrounding tubes 12. In the example shown, water at a moderate pressure of 400-800 p.s.i.g. enters an adaptor 30 before passing through a tube plate 16 into a vertical water preheating or economizer section E, made up of a bundle of nineteen tubes 10. Water near saturation point enters a chamber 26 and passes into the evaporator section EV comprising a tube bundle of eighteen risers 12 and the central, insulated downcomer tube 34. The resulting water and steam mixture enters the chamber 28 which is only slightly larger than chamber 26. The water is substantially separated from the steam, by the mixture impinging on a baffle 36, the steam passing on through the superheating section S to the outlet adaptor 32. Water collects in the dish-shaped baffle 36 and passes through perforations in the downcomer tube 34 which is surrounded by a jacket 38. Carbon dioxide which is used to heat the three sections E, EV and S also flows into the space between the downcomer tube and its jacket to act as a heat insulator. In modifications, the risers of the evaporator section may be finned to emphasize the temperature difference between them and the downcomer tube. Also, the superheater section may have a sub-section which causes the evaporation of the bulk of water carried over into the superheating section.
