Baffle assembly structure for producing fluid or flame whirls

The present invention discloses a baffle assembly structure for producing fluid or flame whirls, which is applied to water-washing or chemical-washing washing towers or heat-resisting burning towers. The structure has a diversion area disposed at a position corresponding to an air inlet in the tower for providing a tangential acceleration for the gas entering into the washing tower or the whirl burning tower, and then the gas will enter into a whirl panel composed of the baffle assembly structure for producing whirls. With the water spray and sprinkle, a good whirling effect will be produced, or a good whirl burning effect is produced for the oil-gas ignition of the whirl burning tower. After different shaped baffles are intersected, arranged and disposed flatly to separate the tower body, the throttle baffle and the baffle produce a negative pressure effect for the gas, so as to improve the water solubility or concentrate the water remained in the washing tower for a chemical washing. With the water or flame whirls in the whirling baffles, the stability of whirls can be improved, and thus the solubility, reaction and filtering efficiency of the washing tower can be improved effectively, so as to enhance the complete combustion, the reaction and energy efficiency of the burning tower.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a baffle assembly structure, and more particularly to a baffle assembly structure that uses a special airflow diversion panel or baffle to produce a negative pressure effect for a gas and stably produce water whirls or flame whirls to effectively improve the solubility, reaction, and filtration (or efficiency of combustion), and the baffle assembly structure is applied to a washing tower that uses water or chemicals for washing or applied to a heat-resisting burning tower.

2. Description of the Related Art

In general, the present baffles are used for controlling airflows, and the control of fluid whirls and gases is disclosed. The water flows, fluid whirls, or flame whirls usually adopt the use of baffles, but a special water whirl, fluid whirl or flame whirl has never been used for developing a whirl washing tower or a whirl burning tower.

There are different traditional mechanisms used for dissolving gases (or combusting air or gases), but most traditional Venturi washing mechanisms are small or traditional washing mechanisms with fillers (or traditional heat-pipe boilers) installed in households, and these mechanisms can be used for an air filter structure (or an air oxidation structure for combustion) for large-scale chemical, dyeing and spray paint factories. An advanced high-solubility (or high combustion efficiency) is seldom used in these mechanisms. Since factories generally come with a large area of land and involve high concentrated chemical gases and large airflows that may contain a large quantity of toxic gases, therefore the traditional washing structure not only has poor solubility, but also gets clogged easily. Traditional washing structures are not applicable for factories having super large wind flow, or the traditional burning structure containing toxic gases with a large quantity of heat has poor combustion efficiency and also gets clogged easily, and such prior art also causes a secondary contamination and an unclean combustion, and thus the prior art is inapplicable for factories with a super large wind flow for combustions.

In general, the principle of the washing tower used in a large-scale factory utilizes a filler (such as a Raschig ring layer) and sprays and sprinkles water on the filler to dissolve gases and water. If the airflow is large, then the required quantity of fillers will be large, the volume of the tower will become large, the filter will require a slow reaction to improve efficiency, and the volume of invested equipments and the area of land will incur a very high cost. Therefore, the effect of a traditional method of using fillers is obviously poor, and the solubility for water washing is approximately 60%, and the cost of using so many fillers for the heat resistance is very high and definitely not cost-effective.

Further, the principle of existing technologies adopted by a burning tower in a large-scale factory employs a combustion chamber and sprays water, and allows air and fuel to be burned and reacted at a tube (or a waterwall tube), and the hot water boiled in the tube is converted into steam for its use. If the airflow is large, the quantity of combustion chambers will become large, the volume of the tower will be large, the burning speed will become slow to improve the efficiency, and the volume of invested equipments as well as the area of land will incur a very high cost. Therefore, the effect of a traditional method of using fillers is poor because the combustion efficiency is approximately 60%, and the cost of using so many equipments for the secondary pollution prevention and involving so many times of combustions is very high and definitely not cost-effective.

The existing shortcomings of the present washing towers and burning towers require improvements, and thus designing an improved structure of a washing tower and a burning tower demands immediate attentions and feasible solutions.

In view of the shortcomings of the present washing towers and burning towers, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience and professional skills in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and finally invented a novel baffle assembly structure for producing fluid or flame whirls in accordance with the present invention, in hope of overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.

The primary technical contents of the present invention are described as follows:

The baffle assembly structure of the present invention can be installed in a traditional washing tower having fillers. If a shaped baffle or a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle are intersected and kinked, or a “_” shaped baffle and a “/_\” shaped baffle, or a “_” shaped baffle and a “_” shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle, or a “ˆ_ˆ” shaped baffle are kinked and placed flatly to substitute the traditional filler, the gas together with the current will pass through the baffle surface in a vertical direction to produce a whirl washing effect. Such improved water washing or chemical washing method can be used in a heat-resisting whirl washing tower to substitute the traditional filler. If all angles of the shaped baffle are right angles, then irregular whirls are produced by the gas at a windward side easily, and thus air turbulence will not occur due to the quick drying of the wind at the wind extracting side, when the baffle is placed at the wind extracting side. Therefore, the shaped baffle is no longer needed, and just the shaped baffle or shaped baffle or novel diversion baffle is used and kinked with the shaped baffle only, such that the liquid drops of each gas will be concentrated at the bottom of the filter of the shaped baffle. Similarly to the “_” shaped baffle that goes with the “/_\” shaped baffle, its principle is to use a shaped baffle with its opening facing a wind extracting side (with a or a shaped concave surface) and a shaped baffle with their opening facing a windward side ( shaped or shaped convex surface) are kinked with each other, such that the gas passing through the shaped baffle produces a whirl, and concentrates the gas-water washing at the whirling section, because all angles of the shaped baffle are right angles, and thus the baffles disposed at the wind extracting side will not produce whirls easily but will produce unsmooth wind extractions for the gas, and the whirls produced by a shaped baffle situated at the windward side are irregular. As a result, turbulences will not occur, and each gas-water washing is concentrated at the filter of the shaped baffle. Particularly, the tiny aggregates of the water washing are turned into a washing tower with a high solubility. The traditional washing tower only has one filter with fillers for the washing, and thus it effectively increases the solubility by several times.

A combination of baffles can produce a whirl washing, and an improved water washing or chemical washing for a heat-resisting washing tower. An air inlet is disposed on a side of the washing tower and an air outlet is disposed on another side of the washing tower. The interior of the washing tower has a diversion area disposed at a position corresponding to the air inlet for producing a linear tangential acceleration for the gas entering into the washing tower, and providing a good whirling effect for the whirlpools produced by the gas entering into the whirling baffles and the water spray and sprinkle. Further, the bottom of the washing tower has a water collecting tank, and an appropriate position at the center of the washing tower has a plurality of baffles intersected and arranged flatly for guiding the water flows and serving as a partition for the washing tower. The external side of the baffle has a throttle baffle, such that the water flow can evenly pass through a gap between the external side (or a windward side) of the baffle surface having an angle smaller than 90 degrees and an oblique baffle or an angle iron baffle. A negative pressure will be produced due to a speed difference, and such gap can withhold any impurities having a specific gravity greater than the gas. Such improved multi-whirling dust collector and oil-gas separator can produce a negative pressure effect for the gas by the throttle baffle and the whirling baffles to improve the water solubility and enhance the reaction effect of the chemical washing, such that the water can be remained evenly in the washing tower. The whirlpools in the whirling baffles can increase the stability of the whirls and improve the solubility, reaction and filtering efficiency effectively.

A baffle combined at the whirl diversion structure of the whirling washing tower can produce whirlpools concentrated at a whirling section of the gas-water washing, and the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle gathers a large quantity of unsettled water at the internal side of the baffle, such that if air and water flow in the directions opposite to each other, a plurality of holes situated at the shaped baffle allow the air and water to pass through the gap of the shaped baffle surface, and the holes can improve the stability of discharging water without getting clogged easily.

A water current with a tangential acceleration encounters many small whirling baffles to produce many small whirls for the water washing, and the original large pressure of the large whirl washing is divided into many whirls with smaller pressure for the whirl washing, and the pressure of only one small whirl is needed for the whirl washing. As a result, the loss of motive pressure of the air can be reduced, and the large whirls can dissolve large contaminants, and the small whirls can dissolve smaller contaminants at a faster dissolving speed. Therefore, a water washing tower capable of producing many small whirls is a water washing tower having a low resistance and a high solubility at a high speed. Furthermore, there is another method for producing fluid whirls, wherein a whirling baffle is fixed transversally in an airtight container to serve as a static stirrer for mixing and stirring different liquids flowing into the whirling baffle, such that the water current extraction constantly mixes and stirs the liquids by fluid whirls, so as to achieve the effect of a static stirring. Similarly, the same principle is applied to other aforementioned baffles.

In a baffle assembly structure of the invention installed in a traditional burning tower, if a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle, or a “_” shaped baffle and a “_” shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle, or a “_” shaped baffle and a “/_\” shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle, or a “ˆ_ˆ” shaped baffle are intersected, kinked and disposed flatly to substitute the traditional combustion chamber, the baffle of this kind comprises a plurality of tubes (or waterwall tubes) or waterwall panels, such that a gas can be passed to produce a whirling burning. The improved burning mechanism provides a gas burning or a spray burning for complete combustions and serves as a heat-resisting whirl burning tower to substitute the traditional combustion chamber, shaped baffle or “_” shaped baffle and each angle is a corner rounding angle that sets the whirls produced at windward side by the gas at a regular rotating state, and each liquid drop of the gas is concentrated at the bottom of the filter of a shaped baffle or a “_” shaped baffle. The principle is to intersect and arrange the shaped baffles or the “_” shaped baffles and then stack the baffles layer by layer. Similarly, the openings of the shaped baffles or “_” shaped baffles are facing towards each other or the openings of the shaped baffles or “_” shaped baffles are disposed at positions facing towards the opening of a layer of the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle and connected to form a whole piece of combustion chamber, such that the gas passing through the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle produces whirls and gather the burning gas at the whirling section, because each angle of the baffles is a corner rounding angle that can produce whirls easily and blow gas smoothly, such that the whirls produced at a windward side by the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle are in a regular state. By then, the gas will enter into another layer without causing any turbulence, so that the gas combustion is occurred in the filter of the baffle. Particularly for the tiny aggregates of the combustion, the whirlwind linearly introduced to the circumference and the heat exchange will improve the whirls and expand the burning, so that the sparks and embers fly in different directions to reinforce the flame. After layers of reinforcements of the even combustions, a burning tower with high combustion efficiency is provided. Compared with the traditional burning tower that has only one combustion chamber for the combustion, the invention can effectively increase the combustion efficiency by several times.

Therefore, the present invention provides a baffle combination to produce whirl combustion and an improved burning mechanism for burring gas or spray with complete combustions. The heat-resisting burning tower is a novel multi-whirling burning tower that has an air inlet disposed on a side of the sealed burning tower and an air outlet disposed on another side of the burning tower, and a diversion area and a diversion panel are disposed in the burning tower and at positions corresponding to the air inlet, such that the whirling baffle becomes a combustion chamber for producing a linear tangential acceleration for the gas entering into the burning tower, and providing a good whirling combustion effect for the oil and spray entering into the whirling baffles and gather into a large quantity of flame whirls at the internal side of the baffles. Further, the bottom of the burning tower has a blower, and an appropriate central position of the burning tower has a plurality of novel intersected and arranged baffles disposed flatly to serve as a partition for the burning tower to cope with the currents. In the foregoing whirl burning, a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle or a “_” shaped baffle and a “/_\” shaped baffle are intersected and arranged and stacked flatly on each other. Similarly, the openings of the shaped baffle or “_” shaped baffle are facing towards each other or the openings of the or the “_” shaped baffle are facing towards a layer of the shaped baffle or the “/_\” shaped baffle and disposed and coupled together to form a whole piece of combustion chamber. In the burning layers, liquids or solids are usually placed at a second layer or a third layer to expand the gap that serves as a primary combustion chamber, when the liquid or solid is burned, and then the negative pressure attraction state continues the burning downward to a fourth layer and a fifth layer or a next layer that serves as a secondary combustion chamber. The baffle has built an ignition point, and such multi-whirling burning tower can produce a negative pressure effect by the speed difference of the gas at the diversion panels and baffles, so as to improve the combustion efficiency or concentrate the whirls to improve the combustion efficiency and provide a complete combustion for the gas remained at the whirling baffles. Further, the flame whirls in the whirling baffle can enhance the stability for complete combustions, and many whirls are used for increasing the holdup time, so as to effectively improve the efficiency for complete combustion, reaction and energy.

A current having a tangential acceleration encounters many small whirls, and the baffle produces many small burning whirl current. The original large whirl burning having a large pressure is subdivided into many small whirl burnings having a small pressure. Only one small whirl burning pressure is sufficient, and thus the loss of the dynamic pressure of the air is reduced. The large whirls can burn large impurities, and small whirls can burn smaller impurities, and the burning speed becomes faster. Therefore, the whirl burning tower having many small whirls is a burning tower having a low holdup time and a fast burning speed. Similarly, this principle also can be applied to the aforementioned other baffles.

Further, a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle, or a “_” shaped baffle and a “_” shaped baffle, or a “_” shaped baffle and a “/_\” shaped baffle, or a shaped baffle or a “ˆ_ˆ” shaped baffle are kinked, and the whole area is disposed vertically or obliquely to provide the functions of a multi-whirling dust collector and an oil-gas separator. Such baffles are disposed flatly to provide a whirl washing tower or a whirl burning tower. Similarly, this principle also can be applied to the aforementioned other baffles.

In summation of the description above, the present invention relates to a baffle assembly structure for producing fluid or flame whirls, and the baffle assembly structure is applied to a washing tower or a heat-resisting burning tower for water washing or chemical washing. The tower has a diversion area disposed inside the tower and at a position corresponding to the air inlet for producing a tangential acceleration to the gas entering into the washing tower or the whirl burning tower, and the gas enters into the whirling panel is comprised of the baffle assembly structure and capable of producing whirls. With the water spray and sprinkle, a good whirling effect is provided, or a good whirl burning effect is provided for the spray oil/gas ignition of the whirl burning tower. Various baffles of the present invention are intersected, arranged, and disposed flatly to separate the tower, and the throttle baffle and the baffle produce a negative pressure effect to the gas, and improve the water solubility and enhance the chemical washing by concentrating the reaction at the water remained in the washing tower. The water whirls/flame whirls in the whirling baffles can increase the stability of whirls, and thus improving the solubility, reaction and filtering efficiency of the washing tower and providing complete combustions for the burning tower as well as enhancing the reaction and energy efficiency.

With the foregoing technical solutions, the baffle assembly structure for producing fluid or flame whirls in accordance with the present invention has the following advantages:

1. Compared with the existing washing towers having fillers, the required filtering area and volume can be reduced to one-third or up to one-sixth of the traditional washing tower operated at the same quantity of wind flow.

The baffle assembly structure of the present invention can be installed in a novel washing tower as well as in a traditional washing tower having fillers to substitute the use of fillers. Each shaped baffle is made of metal. In the present invention, the shape of each baffle such as “_”, “/_\”, “\_/”, and “ˆ_ˆ” constitute an integral structure. These shapes are illustrated in the figures, but not intended for limiting the shape of the baffles of the invention.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, 10 and 13 together with FIGS. 6 to 9, 11, 12, 14, and 15 for a washing tower having a baffle assembly structure that produces fluid whirls for washing in accordance with the present invention, the washing tower could be a water washing tower, a chemical washing tower or a heat-resisting sealed washing tower. In the washing tower of the invention, the sealed washing tower 10 includes an air inlet 11 disposed on a side of the tower, and an air outlet 12 disposed on another side of the tower. The washing tower 10 includes a baffle assembly structure having a control valve and a diversion panel 14 disposed in the tower 10 and at positions proximate to the air inlet 11 for adjusting the flow and producing a linear tangential acceleration for the gas entering into the washing tower 10 respectively, and then the gas enters into the tower 10 to produce whirls. With a water spray and a water sprinkle, a good whirling effect is provided for the whirl currents. Further, the bottom of the washing tower has a water washing tank 13, and the washing tower 10 has several intersected and arranged baffle surfaces 20 disposed at appropriate positions at the center of the washing tower 10 (refer to FIGS. 2 to 5 and 10), wherein the baffle surface 20 is a surface of the baffle assembly structure and composed of a combination of baffles in various different shapes. Referring to FIGS. 6 to 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 for a baffle surface 20 which is a surface of a baffle formed by inverting the two right angles of a shaped baffle 21 to form a shaped baffle 22, and each angle of the shaped baffle 22 is greater than 90 degrees; or a surface of a baffle formed by bending several angles into a shaped baffle 22 or intersecting two tangents of two circles to form a shaped baffle 22, such that the gap produced after engaging the baffles is equal to 0.45˜0.65 times of the two circles; or a surface of a “_” shaped baffle 19. The baffle surface 20 is disposed transversally in the tower for partitioning the washing tower. When a gas is guided into the foregoing baffles, a shaped baffle 21 with its opening faces towards a wind extracting side to avoid the mutual interference of currents, and a shaped baffle 22 with its opening faces towards a windward side, and the baffles are intersected, embedded and kinked with each other; or a “/_\” shaped baffle 18 with its opening faces towards a wind extracting side, and a “_” shaped baffle 19 with its opening faces towards a windward side and the baffles are intersected, embedded and kinked with each other; or the foregoing baffles 22 are intersected, embedded and kinked with each other, or the foregoing baffles 19 are intersected, embedded and kinked with each other. With the foregoing structures, the gas is passed through a shaped baffle 22 or a “_” shaped baffle 19 to produce whirls, such that the gas-water washing process will be carried out and concentrated at the whirling section to regularly guide the water current to produce the whirling effect and improve the solubility as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15, and the polygonal baffles 21, 22, 18, 19 are installed corresponding to each other to form a baffle surface 20 with a gap between the baffle 21 and the baffle 22; or a gap between the baffle 22 and the baffle 22; or a gap between the baffle 18 and the baffle 19; or a gap between the baffle 19 and the baffle 19, which can be adjusted and controlled. In the meantime, the baffle surface 20 is arranged transversally to form a filtering reaction layer to substitute the fillers of the traditional washing tower. The external side of the baffle surface 20 has a plurality of throttle baffles, and the throttle baffle includes an oblique baffle 15 and an angle iron baffle 16, wherein the angle of the oblique baffle is smaller than 90 degrees, and the oblique baffle 15 or angle iron baffle 16 is soldered on the baffle surface 20 and situated between two baffles 21, or two baffles 22, or two baffles 18, or two baffles 19, so as to evenly pass the current through a gap between the external side (which is a windward side) of the baffle surface 20 and the oblique baffle 15 or the angle iron baffle 16. Due to the speed difference and the negative pressure, the gap can withhold and collect impurities with a specific gravity greater than that of the gas, and the impurities will be mixed slowly with the water washing substance. Further, the internal side of the baffle 22 or baffle 19 collects a large quantity of unsettled water. When there is a current, the assembly of whirling baffles forms a diversion structure, and water falls from the top into the diversion structure, such that the water level is higher than the water level outside the whirling diversion structure. With the gas-liquid dissolving effect caused by the water turbulence formed by the high and low water levels and the air turbulence formed at the diversion gap, the diversion has a Venturi washing effect to provide a high solubility. The baffle 231 can stabilize the whirls, and the internal side of the baffle 22 or the baffle 19 can gather a large quantity of turbulent water. When the air and water flow back, the plurality of holes 23 disposed on the baffle 22 or the baffle 19 including the holes on the baffle and the soldering surface of the baffle are provided for maintaining the drainage of a connecting duct 232. The overflow baffle 01 has an edge higher than that of a normal baffle, so that air and water can pass through the gap of the baffle surface 20, and the hole 23 is provided for improving the stability for discharging water and preventing possible clogs. The same applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

In the present invention, each shaped baffle uses the side having the air inlet 11 as the windward side and the side having the air outlet 12 as the wind extracting side. Since the side having an opening of each shaped baffle is the external side of the baffle surface set on the windward side, the whirls produced by the gas form an irregular flow, and thus the opening of each shaped baffle on the external side of the baffle surface should be set on the wind extracting side to prevent the occurrence of turbulences. In the meantime, the baffles with their openings facing towards a wind extracting side are intersected, embedded, kinked and coupled with each other to form a structure of baffles with their opening facing a windward side, and the tangential acceleration is used to produce whirls by the current in the baffles with their openings facing towards the windward side. Therefore, the baffle assembly structure of the present invention based on the foregoing principle forms a multi-layer baffle assembly structure, and the number of layers of the baffle assembly structure is not limited, and any structure having the foregoing characteristics and capable of producing whirls is intended to be covered in the scope of the baffle assembly structure of the present invention.

In FIGS. 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 13 and 14, a diversion panel in the washing tower 10 serves as a diversion for the gas and forces the gas entering from the air inlet through the diversion panel 14 to be held at the baffles 15, 16, the baffle surface 20, the baffles 22, 19 for the gas-liquid dissolution, and impurities with a larger density will be held up at the gap between the baffle 22 and 19, or directly fallen into the water washing tank 13, and finally the clean air filtered by the gas-liquid solution is discharged from the air outlet. The same applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

In FIGS. 4 to 12 and 15, if the air is introduced from the air inlet 11 and blocked by the following diversion panel, and then entered into a water washing tank 13, a first-wave contact will be produced to collect dusts, chemical particles or matters and other larger particles in the dust into the water washing tank 13. In FIG. 4, if the current passes through the baffle 20, the current will produce a second wave of small whirls, since the angle is greater than 90 degrees. If the current reaches the position of the baffle 22 or the baffle 19, the turbulent water will be blocked to assist the production of more gas-liquid dissolutions, such that the gas will be held and remained in the water. The same applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

In FIGS. 2 to 5, 10 and 13, the present invention has a diversion panel 14 disposed at the top of the washing tower 10 and corresponding to the position above or below each transversal baffle surface, such that the gas entering into the washing tower 10 can produce a tangential acceleration, and the bottom of the present invention includes a water washing tank 13, a water pump 30 for pumping water in the water washing tank 13 for spraying and sprinkling water for the air and water dissolution, and the blower 40 draws gas upward or draws gas upward from the side, and the principle of exchanging cold and hot air is used to hold up the gas dissolved in the water, and the dragging force of the whirls is used to dissolve the gas, so as to provide more water washing functions. The same applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

The foregoing transversally arranged baffle surface comprises a plurality of same or different baffle surfaces parallelly stacked with each other, or parallelly and transversally stacked with an interval apart from each other, so that the fluid dissolution effect will be more significant. This applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

Further, the baffle assembly structure of the present invention can be applied to the traditional washing tower having fillers, wherein the combinations, shapes and functions of the baffle assembly structure of the present invention are the same as described above, and thus will not be described further here. The whole layer of the baffle assembly structure is installed transversally to substitute the traditional filler (such as a Raschig ring layer). The gas and water current are passed in a direction perpendicular to such layer of baffle surface to produce whirls in the baffle assembly structure, so that the gas or current performs a whirling washing, which makes the washing tower of the baffle assembly structure to become a heat-resisting whirling washing tower for water washing or chemical washing.

In FIGS. 16 to 20 and 21 to 24, the present invention provides a baffle assembly structure applied to a burning tower for producing flame whirls, wherein the baffle assembly structure is a structure installed in a washing tower, and its functions are the same as those described above, and the baffle assembly structure used in the washing tower also can be applied in the burning tower, and vice versa.

An air inlet 11 is disposed on a side of a sealed burning tower 9 and an air outlet 12 is disposed on another side of the burning tower 9. The burning tower 9 includes a control valve and a diversion panel 14 disposed in a region proximate to the air inlet 11 for adjusting the flow and producing a linear tangential acceleration to the gas entering the burning tower 9 respectively. Further, the bottom of the burning tower includes a blower 40, and a plurality of intersected and arranged baffles are disposed at appropriate central positions of the burning tower 9 to form the transversal baffle surfaces 20 (refer to FIGS. 16 to 20). Referring to FIGS. 6 to 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 for the baffle surface 20, the baffle comprises a plurality of waterwall tubes or waterwall panels that serve as a partition for the burning tower, and two right-angled angles of a “” shaped baffle 21 are inverted to form a shaped baffle 22, such that each angle of the shaped baffle 22 is greater than 90 degrees; or two tangents of two circles are intersected to form a shaped baffle 22; or a “_” shaped baffle 19. To avoid mutual interferences of the currents when the gas is guided and entered into the baffles, a shaped baffle 21 or a “/_\” shaped baffle 18 with their openings facing towards the wind extracting side, and a shaped baffle 22 or a “_” shaped baffle 19 with their openings facing towards the windward side are intersected and kinked with each other; or the baffles 22 are intersected and kinked with each other and the baffles 19 are intersected and kinked with each other, such that the gas passing through the shaped baffle 22 or the “_” shaped baffle 19 will produce whirls, and the gas burning position is concentrated at the whirling section, so as to regularly guide the burning current to produce a whirling effect. In FIGS. 6 to 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15, the polygonal baffles 21, 22 or baffles 18, 19 are connected to define a gap between baffle surfaces 20, a baffle 21 and a baffle 22, a baffle 18 and a baffle 19, a baffle 22 and a baffle 22, or a baffle 19 and a baffle 19 for the adjustment and control. In the meantime, the transversal connected baffle surface becomes a whirling reaction layer which substitutes the traditional combustion chamber of the burning tower, and the windward side of the baffle surface 20 includes a plurality of ignitions 17 disposed thereon, and the position of the ignition 17 introduces a gas fuel, a liquid fuel or a solid fuel, so that the current can be passed evenly through the gap on the windward side of the baffle surface between a baffle 21 and a baffle 21, a baffle 18 and a baffle 18, a baffle 22 and a baffle 22, or a baffle 19 and a baffle 19. Due to the negative pressure produced by the speed difference, the gap can hold and collect the current, so that the current can be mixed quickly into the combustion, and further collects the remainders of the combustion for the whirl combustion at the baffle assembly structure comprised of a combination of whirling baffles. Many whirls are produced to increase the holdup time of the current for providing a complete combustion. In addition, the internal side of the baffle surface 22 or the baffle surface 19 collects a large quantity of turbulent burning waves. If the burning current is situated in the baffle surface 22, 29, the whirl diversion structure comprised of a combination of baffles will conduct downward combustions, and its burning position is higher than the burning position of the whirl diversion structure. Due to the different burning positions, combustion and dissolution effects are produced by the current turbulence and the air turbulence occurred at the diversion gap, and such diversion provides a burning effect to give rise to a high combustion efficiency, and the internal side of the baffle 22 or the baffle 19 give rise to a large quantity of unsettled combustions. If the air for the combustion flows backward, the holdup time will be increased. The gap situated in a plurality of baffles 22 or baffles 19 comprised of a plurality of waterwalls (or waterwall panels) 24 allows the flame to go through the gap in the baffle surface 20, and the gap can be used for enhancing the stability of discharging air and preventing any clog. This applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

Referring to FIG. 20 for a preferred embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment comprises a vertical boiler 9 having several baffle surfaces 20 in different shapes and several levels stacked and arranged as described above. A baffle space 27 is defined by the baffle surface comprised of a plurality of waterwalls or waterwall panels 24 for accommodating the flames from the igniters 17 and fixing the igniters 17 at the entrance of the baffle space 27 of the boiler, and an inlet wind zone or a pressure ventilation blower 41 is preferably disposed on an inlet duct 11 and connected to the boiler 9. The igniters 17 are provided for combustions, so that fuels can enter into the baffle space 27 of the boiler 9. The foregoing boiler 9 is a new design comprising a plurality of waterwalls (or waterwall panels) 24 disposed thereon, and the exhaustion of a combustion is discharged upward along the baffle space 27 in a whirling manner and downward to an angle of 180 degrees, and then moved to a boiler tube comprising a series of baffle spaces 27, and the hot pressure of the whirls and the principle of exchanging cold and hot air are applied to the plurality of waterwalls (or waterwall panels) 24. At this stage, a heat exchange is conducted at the waterwalls (baffle space 27) to instantly cool the discharged burning air passing through the tubes of the boiler. These tubes are radially connected to the top and bottom of each steam drum. The discharged burning gas will pass through an exhaustion passage 12 and a chimney and leaves this unit. The blower 41 is forced to supply air to facilitate the airflow for the combustion and provide a static pressure to overcome the resistance caused by the exhausts of the boiler and pass the burning gas through the chimney to the outside. The number and the diameter of the waterwall panels (or waterwalls) 24 as well as the shape, arrangement, separation and material of the baffles are selected according to the fluid flow and heat transfer of the industrial standard to achieve the required pressure drop of the water/steam and the required heat absorption from the chimney passage, so as to minimize the quantity of NOx produced during the burning process. This applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

A plurality of waterwalls (or waterwall panels) 24 constitute an assembly with baffles inside and form a baffle surface 20, for passing the air separately to a previous layer or a next layer and connecting the air to the pressure ventilation blower 41 by means of the turbulent air through the gap, so as to enter the air into the baffle space 27 of the boiler. The heat discharge rate is restricted to minimize the quantity of NOx produced. In the meantime, combustions are conducted at an empty layer (or a secondary combustion chamber) in the baffle space 27 of the boiler. Thus, carbon monoxide can be combusted completely. This applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

In FIGS. 16, 17, 15 and 11, air is introduced from the air inlet 11 connected to the air blower 41 below and blocked by the diversion panel, and then entered into the primary combustion chamber 28 along the diversion panel. As a result, a first wave burning is produced, and the heavier particles are gathered and held at the bottom of the tank, such that it can burn the gas fuel 25 more appropriately. In FIGS. 15 and 11, an angular change (of a corner rounding angle) greater than 90 degrees is produced when the current flows through the baffle surfaces 20, so that the current produces a plurality of second-wave small whirls by the combustion. If the flame reaches the position of a baffle 22 or a baffle 19, the turbulent flame is blocked to assist the combustion of the burning gas, so as to completely combust all hard-to-burn gas remained therein. This applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

In FIGS. 18, 19, 6 and 14, the diversion panel in the burning tower 9 serves as a diversion for the air and forces the gas to enter from the air inlet above through the baffle surface 20 and perform a gas-fire melting at the baffle 22 and the baffle 19, so as to burn the liquid fuel or the solid fuel 26 in the primary combustion chamber 28, wherein the flame rises, and the wind at a high speed is blown downward to oppose each other and increase the holdup time. The rising warm current and the high-speed wind form opposite currents to create a strong convection to rapidly expand the burning surface, so as to produce a flame whirl in the baffle space 27 comprised of a plurality of baffle surfaces and define a secondary combustion chamber 29. The larger flame will remain at the gap of the baffle 22 or the baffle 19, and finally the gas is combusted completely, and the air is discharged from the air outlet 12 connected to the air-extracting blower 42. More specifically, a multi-layer baffle assembly structures are connected to form a whole piece of combustion chamber and produce layers of flames. A gas burning state or other burning state such as a wind blowing state or an upward burning at one or more openings of the top of a chimney effect tube 47 assists the combustion. In the gas burning state or the solid burning state, the liquid or solid at the second layer or the third layer expands the gap to form a primary combustion chamber, and then the combustion continues to a fourth layer and a fifth layer, or a fifth layer and a sixth layer under a negative pressure attraction state to define a secondary combustion chamber. The baffle has an igniter disposed on its side, and the multi-whirling burning tower uses the diversion panel and baffle to produce a speed difference for the gas, and thus a negative pressure effect is produced to improve the combustion efficiency or enhance the combustion efficiency by the whirls and hold the whirls at the burning baffle for a complete combustion. The flame whirls at the baffles strengthen the whirls to provide a complete combustion, and the whirls will be held for a longer time, so as to enhance the complete combustion, reaction and energy efficiency. This applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

In FIGS. 16, and 17 to 19, the present invention has a diversion panel 14 disposed above or below each transversal baffle surface at the top of the burning tower to provide more burning functions, so that the gas entering into the burning tower can produce a tangential acceleration, and the present invention also includes a bottom tank disposed at the bottom for holding heavier particles in the bottom tank, and the fuel pump is used to pump a fuel to the baffle surface 20 and the fuel is reacted with the air for the combustion. The blower 40 draws gas upward or from the lateral side, such that the principle of using the hot pressure to create a heat exchange can be applied to the plurality of waterwalls (or waterwall panels) 24, and the cold and hot air are convected to allow the gas remained therein to burn more easily. The dragging force produced by the whirl can be used for burning the gas evenly. This applies to the baffles 43, 44, 45, 46, and thus these baffles will not be described here.

The transversally arranged baffle assembly structure comprises a plurality of baffle surfaces parallelly and transversally stacked with each other to form a plurality of baffle spaces 27 in the baffle surfaces to provide a better gas-liquid combustion effect. In the meantime, the baffle assembly structure as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24 is a baffle structure with the combination of a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle or the combination of a “_” shaped baffle and a shaped baffle intersected and coupled with each other, and the assembly forms a stairway-like baffle assembly structure, wherein the functions and applications of this baffle assembly structure are the same as those of other baffle assembly structure for producing flame whirls or washing whirls by the baffle assembly structures in various different shapes.

In the baffle assembly structure of the present invention, the combination of a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle, the combination of a shaped baffle and a shaped baffle, the combination of a “_” shaped baffle and a “_” shaped baffle, the combination of a “_” shaped baffle and a “/_\” shaped baffle, the combination of shaped baffles, the combination of shaped baffles or the combination of “ˆ_ˆ” shaped baffles is intersected and kinked to produce a whole piece of baffle surface disposed vertically or obliquely and provide the functions of a multi-whirling dust collector and an oil-gas separator. From the variation of the present invention, the baffle assembly structure can be disposed flatly to produce whirlpools or liquid flows for the design of a washing tower or a burning tower. All of the above are intended to be covered within the scope of the present invention.

In summation of the description above, the present invention provides a baffle assembly structure, wherein the gas can be sent easily into the baffle at a windward side to produce regular whirls, and the gas drops can be concentrated at the bottom of the shaped baffle or the “_”. More specifically, the present invention adopts the shaped baffles or the “_” shaped baffles intersected embedded and arranged with each other to define a layer of baffle assembly structure, and then the baffles are stacked layer by layer. Similarly, the opening of the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle is set corresponding to each other, or the opening of the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle is set corresponding to the opening of the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle of the opposite layer of baffle assembly structure to define a whole piece of baffle space 27, such that the gas passing through the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle can produce whirls, and concentrate the gas washing/combustion at the whirling section. Since each angle of the baffle is a corner rounding angle, therefore the whirls can be produced very easily and blows the air smoothly, such that the opening of the shaped baffle or the “_” shaped baffle is set at a windward side for producing whirls with a regular state. After a current is passed through such layer of baffle, turbulence will not occur at the next layer of baffle in the baffle assembly structure, such that each gas washing/combustion can be concentrated in the baffle assembly structure. The principle of the baffle assembly structure can be applied to another form of assembly of the present invention, and the baffles are intersected with each other and their opening is disposed at the windward side to produce whirls. More particularly in the burning tower, the tiny aggregates of the combustion, the linearly introduced whirls and the heat exchange can enhance the whirls, and the wind can expand the combustion, such that the sparks and embers may fly in different directions to improve the flame. With layers of burnings, a burning tower with high combustion efficiency is provided.

The baffle assembly structure of the present invention installed in a washing tower can overcome the shortcomings of a traditional washing program by increasing the gas-liquid solubility and achieving the effects of a low resistance and high solubility. Further, the baffle assembly structure of the present invention installed in a burning tower can overcome the shortcomings of a traditional burner by increasing the gas-liquid flame combustion efficiency to achieve the effects of low holdup time and high combustion efficiency.

While the invention has been described by way of examples and in terms of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
