Method and device for emptying the floor of a black liquor recovery boiler

摘要

A method for emptying a furnace floor from smelt in a black liquor recovery boiler when the black liquor recovery boiler is being shut down. The emptying can be started while smelt is still flowing in smelt spouts. The floor is emptied by sucking smelt from the furnace with a smelt eductor. A device for removing smelt and wash water from a furnace of a black liquor recovery boiler by means of suction. Negative pressure is generated in the device by conducting pressurized gas into a suction pipe of an eductor so that preheated pressurized gas is discharged in the discharge direction of smelt and wash water.

1. A method for emptying the floor of a black liquor recovery boiler when the boiler is being shut down, the method comprising:
generating negative pressure suction with a suction device by arranging discharge of a pressure medium from an outlet within the suction device in the discharge direction of the suction device, and sucking smelt from the black liquor recovery boiler with the suction device through an opening in a wall of the black liquor recovery boiler by the generated negative pressure suction, the suction device comprising a suction pipe with a form; and preheating the pressure medium by the smelt in a pressure medium pipe that extends into an interior of the black liquor recovery boiler and conforms to the form of the suction pipe before it is discharged from the outlet.
