Y-shaped distributor with liner assembly for distribution of pulverized coal and air mixture

摘要

Apparatus for cooperation with an associated coal burning furnace which includes a Y-shaped distributor body having one inlet and first and second outlets and a splitter disposed in the body for dividing flow between the first and second outlets. The splitter has a generally V-shaped contour and the splitter comprises a base on the housing and a liner assembly mounted on the base. In some forms of the invention the liner assembly has a surface that is harder than the surface of the housing and the housing includes a removable access panel. The access panel may be dimensioned and configured to allow passage of the liner assembly into and out of the housing. The liner assembly may comprise an outer shell having at least some foamed material disposed therein and may include anchoring means disposed in the foamed material. In other forms of the invention the anchoring means may be dimensioned and configured for engagement with the housing to anchor the liner assembly against the foamed material and the base may include a mounting surface that is generally planar and disposed in generally normal relationship to the direction of flow into the inlet. The base may have diverging sides dimensioned and configured for engaging the liner assembly and the anchoring means may include a plurality of eyebolts.
