Removable Seal Plates
US Patent:
4387651, Jun 14, 1983
Filed:
Jan 2, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/273891
Inventors:
Richard F. Moore - Tolland CT
Assignee:
Combustion Engineering, Inc. - Windsor CT
International Classification:
F23J 102
US Classification:
110171
Abstract:
Apparatus for handling ash and slag produced in the combustion of coal or other ash-bearing fuel in the furnace (10) (not shown) of a steam generator, including a submerged scraper conveyor (20) beneath the furnace, and a water seal including plate means (24) extending from the furnace bottom or transition chute into the water (18) in the tank (16) housing the scraper conveyor, which plate means (24) also form a seal at their upper ends (40,42) with the furnace bottom or transition chute, for preventing the atmosphere from being exposed to the furnace interior. A motor (50,52) is provided for moving the plate means (24) upwardly and downwardly, to allow the submerged scraper conveyor (20) and its tank (16) to be quickly removed from beneath the furnace (10) when the unit is shut down for maintenance purposes.

US Patent:
4300457, Nov 17, 1981
Filed:
Apr 14, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/140059
Inventors:
Richard F. Moore - Tolland CT
Assignee:
Combustion Engineering, Inc. - Windsor CT
International Classification:
F23J 102
US Classification:
110171
Abstract:
Apparatus for handling ash and slag produced in the combustion of coal or other ash-bearing fuel in the furnace (10) of a steam generator, including a submerged scraper conveyor (14) beneath the furnace (10), and a water seal (22) including a trough (26) between the two for preventing the atmosphere from being exposed to the furnace interior. A hydraulic actuator (40,42) is prodived for allowing submerged scraper conveyor (14) to be quickly removed from beneath the furnace (10) when the unit is shut down for maintenance purposes.
Structural Water Seal Trough
US Patent:
4359949, Nov 23, 1982
Filed:
Oct 15, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/311573
Inventors:
Richard F. Moore - Tolland CT
Assignee:
Combustion Engineering, Inc. - Windsor CT
International Classification:
F23J 100
US Classification:
110171
Abstract:
Apparatus for handling ash and slag produced in the combustion of coal or other ash-bearing fuel in a top-supported furnace (10) of a steam generator, including a submerged scraper conveyor unit (14) beneath the furnace (10), and a water seal (24, 26) including a bottom-supported trough (26) positioned beneath the furnace (10), and plates (24) secured to the furnace bottom extending down into the trough (26). The submerged scraper conveyor unit (14) is bottom-supported independently of the trough (26), and there is an adjustable (34) seal member (29) between the two to prevent gas leakage therebetween.
