Abstract:
In design of inside lining of gasifier, the accurate determination of thermal conductivity of heatinsulation bricks is of key importance. Based on the porous characteristics of heatinsulation material and high seepage characteristics of hydrogen contained in gasifier medium, CFD simulations of microscopic heat transfer under 125 operating cases are performed by establishing a microscopic model. The quantitative correlation among the temperature, thermal conductivity of H2contained gas in blowholes and microscopic structure size is established. The method to estimate the apparent(actual) thermal conductivity of porous heatinsulation material in an environment of higher hydrogen level(φH2=45%—70%) is put forward. The simulation is confirmed by application in gasifier under commercialized operation with a smaller deviation(less than 6%) from actuallymeasured data and a higher reliability, which may guide the engineering design for the arrangement of gasifier lining of heatinsulation.
