摘要:
A cooling system (1 ) for heavy ashes of the type apt to be used in association with a combustion chamber (2), in particular for large flows rates of ashes deriving for example from solid fossil fuel in an energy-production unit, which system (1 ) comprises: - a transport belt (31 ) for transporting the heavy ashes, apt to be arranged below the combustion chamber (2) and having a containment casing (3) and a transport surface (311) equipped with openings (9) for the transit of cooling air, which transport surface (311) is apt to receive the ashes produced in the combustion chamber (2) substantially in the form of continuous bed; and - cooling means for cooling the heavy ashes received on said transport surface (311), which cooling means comprises at least one partitioned region (4) arranged below said transport surface (311) and forced feeding means (11) for a forced feeding of cooling air at said partitioned region (4), wherein said partitioned region (4) is configured so as to limit outflows of air fed therein, and wherein the overall arrangement is such that, in use, the cooling air fed into said partitioned region (4) crosses said openings (9) in said transport surface (311) and the bed of ashes received on the latter (Fig.1).
摘要:
A device for storage and exchange of thermal energy of solar origin, which device is configured to receive a concentrated solar radiation using an optical system of “beam down” type, which device comprises:—a containment casing which defines an internal compartment and has an upper opening configured to allow entry of the concentrated solar radiation, which opening puts in direct communication the internal compartment with the external environment having no closure or screen means;—a bed of fluidizable solid particles, received within the internal compartment, which bed has an irradiated operative region directly exposed, in use, to the concentrated solar radiation that enters through said opening and a heat accumulation region adjacent to said operative region;—fluidization elements of the bed of particles, configured to feed fluidization air within the compartment, which fluidization means is configured to determine different fluid-dynamic regimens in the operative region and in the accumulation region, based upon different fluidization speeds, wherein, in use, the particles of the operative region absorb thermal energy from the solar radiation and they give it to the particles of the accumulation region.
