    气化炉下降管及上升管结构激冷室多相流场模拟

    Multi-phase flow field simulation in quench chamber with downcomer and riser structures of gasifier

    • 摘要: 干煤粉气流床下行激冷流程气化技术应用较广泛,该流程气化炉在激冷室内易出现液位测量不准的现象,造成洗涤效果差、合成气带灰、下游设备和管线磨损等问题。前人对激冷室下降管‒上升管结构的研究多集中于现场堵塞后的工艺参数调整等,而对其流场模拟及气泡生成、聚合与破碎等特性的研究相对较少,故针对某工业装置气化炉激冷室改造前液位波动大、液位不易控制等问题,拟对激冷室结构进行改造并进行三维CFD模拟,基于欧拉+多流体VOF模型和PBM群平衡等模型,探讨在100%负荷下3种不同直径下降管与上升筒组合结构下粗合成气通过下降管在激冷室底部水浴的洗涤情况,对比3种结构下的速度分布、气含率、湍动能、气泡直径等分布情况,以确认最佳破泡洗涤效果。结果表明:3种结构下气液两相流动形态都属于较理想的环隙流,气液在下降管和上升管环隙中稳定并流。下降管扩大100 mm的结构,其射流深度最大,环隙中湍动能也更大,气液两相接触更充分。并且该结构在流场各关键路径上测得气泡平均直径较小,直径分布沿路径更均匀,也因此表明其结构液面扰动程度小,气体夹带水量少,洗涤效果更好。该研究可为今后类似结构的改造提供理论参考。

       

      Abstract: The cold flow gasification technology of dry pulverized coal flow bed is widely used. The gasifier in this process is prone to inaccurate liquid level measurement in the quench chamber, resulting in poor washing effect, ash carryover of syn-gas, and wear of downstream equipment and pipelines. Previous studies on the downcomer and riser structure of the quench chamber mostly focused on the adjustment of process operating parameters after on-site blockage, but few studies were conducted on the flow field simulation and the characteristics of bubble nucleation, aggregation and breakage of this structure. Therefore, in view of the problems such as large liquid level fluctuation and difficult liquid level control of the quench chamber of an industrial gasifier, the structure of the quench chamber was planned to be transformed and 3D CFD simulation was carried out. Based on the Euler+multi fluid VOF model and PBM group balance model, the washing situation of crude syn-gas in the water bath at the bottom of the quench chamber through the downcomer at 100% load was discussed under three different diameters combined structures of downcomer and riser, and The distributions of velocity, gas holdup, turbulent kinetic energy, bubble diameter were compared under three different structures to confirm the best bubble breaking and washing effect. The results show that the gas-liquid two-phase flow patterns under all three structures belong to ideal annular gap flow, and the gas-liquid flows stably in parallel in the annular gaps of the downcomer and riser. The structure with 100 mm diameter expansion of the downcomer has the largest impinging depth, greater turbulence energy in the annular gap, and more complete gas-liquid two-phase contact. And the average diameter of the bubbles measured on each key path of the flow field is smaller, and the diameter distribution is more uniform along the path, indicating that the structure has less liquid level disturbance, less water carried by the syn-gas, and better washing effect. The study can provide theoretical reference for the future transformation direction of similar structures.
