This application claims priority benefits to Chinese Patent Application No. 202110350477.2, filed on Mar. 31, 2021. The contents of the aforementioned application are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the coal storage technology, and in particular to an annular rotatable air supply device for a coal storage Eurosilo.
Eurosilo coal storage is the latest environmentally friendly coal storage method in China, because the coal types used in foreign Eurosilo storage coal are quite different from those in China, the water content of foreign coal is low, and the evaporation amount of water vapor during coal storage is small. In the actual coal storage process, the water vapor concentration in the Eurosilo is low, which will not affect the environment in the Eurosilo. However, the coal type used in China is mainly lignite, which has a high proportion of powdery particles, large in volatile matter and water, and is easy to spontaneously ignite. Therefore, a higher water vapor concentration will be produced in the Eurosilo where coal is stored, and water vapor with a higher concentration will condense into water droplets when it encounters the equipment in the Eurosilo and the metal structure of the Eurosilo body, after the water droplets are combined with the gas released from various coals in the Eurosilo, various acidic corrosive substances are produced. When the acidic corrosive substances adhere to the surfaces of metal parts in the Eurosilo, they will cause corrosion damage to these metal equipment, and then bring extremely adverse effects. In addition, at present, the coal widely used in domestic power generation enterprises has high volatile matter content and a large volatile amount, and more methane and carbon monoxide are emitted from coal during coal storage. These combustible gases gather in the Eurosilo and can easily cause various fires or endanger the personal safety of maintenance and operation personnel entering the Eurosilo. To prevent spontaneous ignition of coal, the domestic power generation enterprises generally use nitrogen to prevent the oxidation reaction of coal, a large amount of nitrogen is released from the bottom of the Eurosilo, so that nitrogen can fill the gaps among coal particles to isolate the oxygen around the coal, thus avoiding or reducing the possibility of oxidation reaction of coal. However, in this way, it is inevitable that some nitrogen will penetrate from the coal accumulated in the Eurosilo, and is dispersed into the space where coal is not piled in the Eurosilo, this will also reduce the oxygen content in the space where coal is not piled in the Eurosilo, when personnel need to enter the Eurosilo for equipment maintenance or operation, there is a risk of suffocation due to the low oxygen concentration. Except for the conventional positive pressure respirator, most of the other kinds of mouth masks can not effectively ensure the normal breathing of the personnel. However, after wearing the positive pressure respirator, the personnel are inconvenient to move and the normal operation requirements can not be satisfied.
Although an exhaust fan is arranged on the top of the Eurosilo, the actual exhaust effect is not good, mainly because all kinds of gases and water vapor are mainly gathered near the accumulated coal, that is, near the upper surface of the coal pile in the Eurosilo. However, the exhaust fan on the top of the Eurosilo mainly discharges the gas near the exhaust fan, and the Eurosilo is not a sealed container, at many structural junctions of the Eurosilo, for example, between the top of the Eurosilo and the barrel, there are always various gaps, so that gas can enter the Eurosilo, then the gas flows to the exhaust fan and is discharged by the exhaust fan. Because the flow of gas always occurs from the place where the resistance is the least, while the gas near the coal pile in the Eurosilo flows relatively slowly, especially in the Eurosilo, the height of coal pile is low, that is, under the condition of less stored coal, when the distance between the surface of the coal pile and the exhaust fan is far, the top fan of the Eurosilo has poor ability to absorb the gas near the surface of the coal pile, and as a result, it takes at least 10 hours to replace the gas in the barrel cleanly, In addition, if the amount of exhaust of the exhaust fan is greater than the amount of air entering from the gap, only negative pressure will be formed in the Eurosilo and causes an unnecessary load to the top of the Eurosilo, but can not effectively make the gas near the coal pile flow to the position near the top of the Eurosilo, ineffective ventilation will seriously restrict the timeliness of operation in the Eurosilo of the personnel, or bring hidden dangers to the safety of coal storage in the Eurosilo, which seriously affects the normal coal storage production and operation of the Eurosilo.
