  • Patent number: 10722898
    Abstract: A vertical roller mill provided with a cyclone-type fixed separator that separates fine powder and allows the separated powder to flow out to the outside, the cyclone-type fixed separator being provided inside a housing, wherein the fixed separator is configured so that a solid-gas two-phase flow is introduced from a fixed blade inlet window opening on a cone into the inside and the solid-gas two-phase flow is swirled using a fixed blade attached in the inside vicinity of the fixed blade inlet window, whereby the fine powder flows out to the outside from a pulverized coal outlet in an upper portion of the vertical roller mill through the lower end side of an inner cylinder provided inside the cone, a surface layer in which the rebound coefficient of collided particles is higher than in an iron plate surface being formed in the outer surface of the inner cylinder.

  • Patent number: 10488040
    Abstract: Provided is a duct wall surface structure which, in a flue of an iron-sheet duct with a hopper through which a solid-gas two-phase stream flows, can enhance the solid particle trapping efficiency of the hopper and reduce the outflow of the solid particles to the duct downstream side. The duct wall surface structure of a flue (10) through which a solid-gas two-phase stream containing large-diameter ash (50) flows includes a first hopper (20A) installed at the lower end of a first vertical flue section (12), installed in such a direction that the stream has a vertical component of velocity, to collect the large-diameter ash (50) from the stream, wherein a low-rebound part (60) having a lower coefficient of restitution than an iron sheet is provided on an inclined surface (21), with which the large-diameter ash (50) collides, on the upstream side in the flow direction from the first hopper (20A).
